Awesomeness, so much info!!

Cool!

Great

yes I hope j.k gives us a hint on book 7!!!

This is a good day of news...the next week is going to be dead :P

How exciting! Congrats to those lucky enough to be there!

That's great

i hope so to, please give us a hint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully we'll get a title for book 7.

it's a shame i don't like stephen king or my head would explode...

I hope you are right! I need to know the title!!!!

Yeah! oh, hope that she will tell us something really good:)

Cool!

i wish i could be there!!!!!

I wish I was there! Oh why does school have to start tomorrow?!?

whoot!!

GAH ... Well, I guess I'll hear all about in on the Mugglecast :)

I envy those who are going...although there was no chance I was going I live in pennsylavina...which sucks at the moment...I wish I was going

I wish that I could be there. I hope the Jo gives something away for us. **cough cough a title cough cough**

this is great!

Did anyone else hear the "couple of characters will die, and one will get a reprieve part." IT's confirmed that more than one person will die in book 7!!!!

thats SO awesome!

i totally agree with them. as much as i respect jkr and her decisions, killing harry would be such a dpressing ending,

that is VERY sweet... :)

I'm going to her reading (tomorrow night, not tonight). It would be so awesome if she revealed the title while I was there. I don't think she'll reveal it first in the US, though...

I'm so sorry, I love JKR just like everyone else, but doesn't she look absolutely exhausted? She doesn't seem to be herself in the pictures from this morning.

Thank you so much for posting this fantastic transcript Mugglenet! Great job! Is there any way to get a video of it too?

Awesomeness!

This random but I noticed this today. I was reading Half-Blood Prince again and I noticed something. When Kreacher nad Dobby came in the common room with information on Malfoy, they had apperated into the coomon room. But wasen't Herminoe going on and on about that rule" You can't apperate inside Hogwarts" blah blah. The why did J.K let Dobby and Kreacher apperate?

appleannie - well, a birthday followed by travelling to New York can do that to you, I'd imagine XD Poor Jo. But yay, this is exciting!

Just read the transcript, why did this bit make me laugh so much :-P "I’ve always been a huge [couldn’t hear]" :-P

ECDWman1 house elves and just elves in general can do many things that wizards cannot do... so apperating and such is one of them... I think that's what happens....maybe look in the HP encylapedia thingie to make sure...

Very Cool!! So much info! I love u Jo!!!!

I am really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really worried that Harry's going to die now... i had convinced myself that it wouldn't make sense.. that she wouldn't kill him off... but now I think it sounds like she will! :'( Possibly Ron and Hermione too.... It definately doesn't sound as if she's going for a "One Big Happy Weasley Family" ending, which I was secretly hoping for!

does anyone knoe when the LeakyMugs will be up

Cool! There's a ton of new info today!

I am the only one who noticed that she was wearing a "SNAKE NECKLACE" ... WOOT! She is SOOOO SLYTHERIN!!!! GO SLITHERIN!!!

Haha niiice I actually didn't notice the snake necklace until just now. I'm not going to lie, I love slytherin :D:D ;)

Stephen King looks really funny. Its looks like he lost a ton of weight. I really was hoping for a clue or a relevation of something.

"We're working toward the end I always planned but a couple of characters I expected to survive have died and one character got a reprieve," she [JK Rowling] said, declining to elaborate. I'm hoping that she brings Sirius back, b/c his "death" was questionable, so it would be plausible that he came back. I really want it to be Sirius.

I just came back from the book reading...I have got to tell you, it was absolutely amazing. I'm more in love with JKR than ever!

@ Issie: I hope it's Sirius too, since he's my favorite character, but I don't think it's very likely or she would have brought him back in HBP. She has to at least say what happened to him. Maybe he's just hiding... I really hope Sirius comes back!

I was there, orchestra row W seat 204...the very very last row in the auditorium. But the people next to me (seats 202 and 203) won some sort of contest and they got moved to the seats right in FRONT of the stage. I almost died from jealousy (as bad as it sounds)!!! But i couldn't help but envy them...if this was you...you two are soooo lucky!!! Anyway, the reading was amazing....she read the part where Dumbledore visits young Tom Riddle in the orphanage and tells him that he is a wizard. When she walked onto the stage, everyone jumped up in their seats, people were screaming, I was howling and I couldn't help the tears that were just pouring down my face. It was unbelievable. Nothing could have prepared me for the shock of seeing JKR in person. And I met a little boy while waiting in line to get in who got a real autograph from her earlier today at the press conference (his mother snapped a picture of JRK on her phone). And a lady next to me fainted from the heat. All in all, what a night!!! JRK is amazing, beautiful, so incredibly inspiring, and hearing her voice reading outloud the passages we know so well...words don't do the whole experience justice.

I was soooclose to EMERSON ok i had orchestra 6 area GG seat 609 he was in the same row but the box next to me Emerson just want to let you know your awesome!!!!! also when JKR came on stage i almost cryed seriously i was holding it in I was so happy !!!!!!

Oh God. I cried. I laughed manically. It was so AMAZING. I had such an eventful three hours. I got there late because the busses were stuck in traffic and I was having a nervous breakdown, but we got there in time and while I was heading toward Radio City Music Hall I pass by this guy who is staring at my shirt and I notice that it is EMERSON and I freaked out but he was gone before I could get a picture or anything. Then we get inside and I was all jittery and crazy and finally it all started. There were celebrity presenters which was a surprise. Stephen King went first, then Joh Irving and of course J.K. was saved for last and I went nuts. It was sooo good. I was in utter shock. Then she answered some questions. Some weren't as good but I think the first was best. Someone asked what Hermione would see if she looked into the mirror of erised and J.K.'s response was her, Harry and Ron together, unscathed, and Voldemort defeated and perhaps Hermione would be a little bit closer and intwined with a particular boy, but she did not disclose which boy =P of course. Everyone went wild. Other questions were about muggles and potion making and other wandcores and wandmakers. J.K. also discussed the online fandom and the dreaded infamous shipping wars and all the fans laughed ridiculously loudly. J.K. was like "some people wanted Harry and Hermione." and some people went nuts and she goes "There's still some of you out there?! Why?" or something like that, it was funny. It was overall the best night of just about ever. I was on teh second mezzanine though so I was pretty far away but I am still so shocked that I was in the same room as her. I cried a lot. And I've also been kicking myself for being stupid and not running to catch up with Emerson for a picture!!! GAHHH

I love Jo! This is going to bother me all day because I have to go, and I cant rd it til this afternoon! grr.

I'd love to hear Stephen King reading one of his stories, I know he can scare the hell out of me. Desperation is my favourite king story, it's incredible.

Hey hey! Hope we get to hear a definate title for the 7th book soon!!!!!! I'm so impatient lol! Hurry up!!!!!! tee hee hee all these rumours are driving me nuts! The angels are stealind my sanity!!!! razzmatazzness is here! love you lots like jelly tots and vodka shots! Natasha x

o god just reading about this is making me cry! jk is so amazing. i would do anything to just be in the same building with her! thats my life time goal. get in the same building as her! lol

she cant reall kill harry can she???? i mean i no it has to end but to kill him, oh well
