UPDATED: JK Rowling reads “Peter Pan” at the 2012 Summer Olympic Opening Ceremonies

by Keith Hawk · July 27, 2012

Update: MuggleNet Staff are submitting their thoughts on the 2012 Summer Olympic Opening Ceremonies right here. Feel free to leave your comments in the comment section of the page.

During the 2012 Summer Olympic Games Opening Ceremonies being held in London this evening, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling made a special guest appearance.

Rowling read from Peter Pan during a segment that was dedicated to children’s literature, which has had an immensely popular impact on British culture for years. While reading the story, the Giant Voldemort that we reported as a rumor recently, along with other villains from British literature towered over the other performers.

We will have a full report of the 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremonies a little later!

Thanks to SnitchSeeker for the video!

Potter Quote

“My brothers, my sisters. The clock is ticking faster. We who live for freedom, for truth, and for love. The moment has come to share my vision of the future that awaits if we do not rise up and take our rightful place in the world. Where we wizards are free. Aurors, join me in this circle, pledge to me your eternal allegiance, or die.”
