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.

I would never of guessed that the queen of england would be interested in the Harry Potter books. I though she would think they were evil since she is the leader of the church of england.

Can you imagine what a birthday present that would be - for JKR to read from book 7?!? I imagine it will probably be from something else (maybe another series?), but we cal all hope!

I think that is wonderful that JK Rowling will read at the Queen's b-day party! That is a wonderful honor! It seems that the Queen loves Harry Potter: Potter stars to receive OBE's from the Queen...

That would'nt be fair to the fans if she did read from the book and I hoped that she didn't read from it because then I would so wish that I was there to hear it, no scratch that, it should be all the Harry Potter fans that read the books wish that if she did read that they could hear it not just me anyways. I'm just glad that she isn't though. I hope that all the people that got invited to the Queen's party have a good time, mostly the kids would have a great time due to the children's book theme that is. They are so lucky to be invited too.
