: Who is Rowland? : Roz July 07, 2005, 11:33:33 PM From the Collectorzone newsletter
Bloomsbury Publishing will kick off its biggest-ever consumer advertising campaign this week ahead of the televised 16th July launch of JK Rowling’s latest book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. The bespectacled teenage wizard will beam down from thousands of billboards and buses emblazoned with the slogan All aboard for Harry. Then, as midnight strikes and the launch day begins, Rowland will start reading from the book to an audience of children at Edinburgh Castle. The reading will be boomed to television and radio stations worldwide. Erm ??? : Re: Who is Rowland? : Nienna July 07, 2005, 11:40:01 PM :o ::) *sniggers* :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

: Re: Who is Rowland? : rns91294 July 08, 2005, 02:22:57 AM Is this really happening? I wonder if I would get it near me, as I would love to hear the fcirst chapter at midnight, rather than waiting for my book to arrive the next day. It is coming UPS or FedEx or something. I will be up super early in case they come early. I don't know what i would do if I missed the delivery and had to wait until Monday to pick it up.
: Re: Who is Rowland? : Angels July 10, 2005, 03:34:35 AM For those in the UK ITV1 on Friday the 15th at 11.45 pm - Harry Potter At The Castle: Magic At Midnight. A special programme from Edinburgh Castle, where on the stroke of midnight JK Rowling will give the first public reading of an extract from her latest novel.
What do I do now, shall I stop in and watch this or record it and go and pick up my copy from WH Smiths at midnight as I was planning to do. ??? Also on tomorrow, Sunday the 10th on ITV1 at 5.15 pm is Harry Potter At The Castle: The Quest For The Ultimate Potter Fan. Four of the UK's biggest Harry Potter fan and their parents are tested on their knowledge of Rowlings books with the winner being allowed to interview the author. The winner will interview JKR and this will be on TV next week in the third and final programme. All the details are in todays TV Mag (free with the Sun sorry to say) as well as 20 question quiz. : Re: Who is Rowland? : Morningangel-Iola July 10, 2005, 03:40:21 AM But do I want to hear I bit before I get there :-\

If the worst comes to the worst you'll have to stream it from the net. They had a similar thing last time but in London at the Royal Albert Hall with Stephen Fry :D |
