JK Rowling now in Romania
We told you the other day that Jo would be in Romania to appear on a televised event. We now have more information on her appearance from The Bucharest Daily News:

Best-selling author J.K. Rowling is to visit Romania this week to take part in a fundraising gala to help children in need in Romania and across Europe, organizers said Monday. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books, recently became a trustee of the newly established charitable foundation The Children's High Level Group, which raises funds to support children in need, focusing on child health and development in Romania and across Europe. She will be in Romania Jan. 25-26, where she will be the guest of honor at a gala at the former palace built by late dictator Nicolae Ceausescu.

Rowling will also meet children living in foster care and orphanages who have made achievements in sports, science and the arts on Wednesday.

She is also scheduled to meet Prime Minister Calin Popescu Tariceanu and President Traian Basescu. A fundraising appeal will be transmitted by Romanian state television on Thursday during Rowling's visit. Rowling's visit is designed to highlight reforms made in Romania's child welfare system, organizers said.


As for the televised event, we now know that you will be able to watch it online at this link. The interview will air at 9:50 PM EET (2:50 PM eastern, 1:50 PM central) tomorrow, January 25th. Thanks to Veritaserum for the info!
