Last month we told you
that JK Rowling would help Queen Elizabeth celebrate her 80th birthday on June 25th. It is now being reported that Ms. Rowling will be reading from "her next Harry Potter book," this is not true as Ms. Rowling has never read from a book before it was published in any arena.
For the celebrations Windsor Castle will be turned into a theme park with a Winnie the Pooh’s Hundred Acre Wood; Peter Pan will duel with Captain Hook aboard a pirate ship on a lake; a Mary Poppins musical and the Royal Ballet performs in Beatrix Potter costumes. The event will also be broadcast on BBC, please check your local listings.
The article also states that Dan Radcliffe will be attendance, please note that this has not been confirmed & is highly unlikely due to his exam schedule.
UPDATE: As I stated earlier, the above mentioned book will not be book 7 as TLC has confirmed that Jo still has not decided which book she will be reading from at the event.

That's cool! And it would be highly unlikely if she ever read book 7 at the birthday..... bnot to mention weird and unfair.

I don't think she'll read from book 7. If she does however it will be something that won't give the plot away, we all know she's great at not spoiling what is coming next for us, but gives us clues that we can't possibly know the answer too!

That is a cool way to throw a birthday party but it would have been better if she was reading a HP.

Of course she's not going to read from the seventh book, she will never do this. It should be great if Dan goes there too. I hope we could be able to watch this event on Internet. It is really a good way to celebrate the Queen's birthday.

Thats great of Jo to go to the Queen's birthday party but I'm sure if anyone were invited they'd go though. Interesting choice of entertainment though.
