I have enjoyed reading the reports from these Question & Answer events and I look forward to reading about the Toronto event.
I wonder if the Harry Potter books will be included in future English Literature exams?

Hard to believe it is now essentially over. Seemed to be a big hit. I wonder how all her comments and thoughts will be summed up. Maybe she will update her site.

I just wonder what will be asked regarding the answers from Friday's event!! I'm sure she's ready to answer them, as she could not have missed all the press she's been getting over one little answer!
I thought Jeff was attending this, is that correct Geri?

School Governor - I hope they include Harry Potter in future English Literature examinations.
I am doing AS level English Literature and the most modern text we are looking at is from the 1950's... How dull. Loads more people would get A's if they had decent books people had heard of.

Yes I agree I think Harry potter would be good for future English literature examinations. in my current AS level course we are doing The Great Gatsby which I enjoy but I think a more modern book would be more beneficial perhaps. I wonder if JK will expand on what she said on Friday.

Since the Start says:
The last time she was in Toronto in 2000, the tickets were available from Ticketmaster and I was lucky enough to get seats right up near the stage. At the end she spoke directly to a group of us who were asking for her to sign our books -- all she said was that she was sorry but that she "wasn't allowed to" that time, but even that was amazing! Anyway, wish I could be there this time too, but I hope everyone who did get tickets has a great time.

I can't wait to see what all people will ask her, it will be interesting, as we've just learned about Dumbledore's sexuality, eh? Anyways, have fun all who go.
