J.K. Rowling’s Open Book Tour of the US

J.K. Rowling announced plans today to embark on an “Open Book Tour” of the United States. From her news section:

In October I will be touring the USA for the first time since 2000. The Tour will include four events, three to be held for schoolchildren in Los Angeles, New Orleans and New York City and one event in New York City for any U.S. Harry Potter fan who wins a ticket through a sweepstakes to be held by Scholastic, my US publishers. At each event, I will read from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final book in the Harry Potter series, answer questions about the entire series, and sign copies of the latest book.

Visit Scholastic’s Potter section beginning July 30 for information on how to enter this sweepstakes and complete rules.
