Rowling: 'The idea came from you'

Reuters is one of the first to report on the tea party held earlier today by author J.K. Rowling for roughly 200 primary school students.

"During a question-and-answer session, the writer spoke about her favorite authors as a child and her love of Christmas, and revealed she has had a fear of spiders ever since she was young."

Rowling went on to say that the idea to publish Beedle the Bard came from Potter fans:

"There was quite a lot of high feeling from Harry Potter fans that only someone who had two million pounds could afford to read the book. I thought 'fair point', so I thought 'I'll publish it and then the charity can have that money too'."
