| JKR's views expressed at yesterday's conference |
| At a press conference in Bucharest yesterday, Jo Rowling spoke about her concerns for the mental and physical well-being of children in Eastern European orphanages: "There is now widespread agreement among child health experts that irreparable long-term damage is caused to young children who are institutionalised without a parent." The TVR interview that was supposed to be broadcast last night has been postponed (as mentioned below). It can be viewed right here at 8 PM EET (12 PM CST, 1 PM EST, 6 PM GMT). Thanks to everyone who wrote in! UPDATE: The interview should have aired over two hours ago but didn't. Reader Ionut has let us know that the TV station said they will broadcast it in the coming days. We'll keep you posted. UPDATE #2: Yahoo! News reports that during a charity dinner in Bucharest yesterday, JK Rowling raised a whopping €170,000 by auctioning off six signed Harry Potter books and purchasing a famous Brazilian footballer's shirt.

New Interview with J.K. Rowling about Child Welfare
While in Romania, author J.K. Rowling gave a new interview to the Associated Press, discussing her concerns about child welfare and her involvement in the Children's High Level Group. Some excerpts from this interview are now online, and during the course of this interview Jo reiterated what prompted her to become active in helping to promote better standards for children in Eastern European orphanages. She speaks movingly about her involvement in the campaign and the affect on meeting some of these children has had on her.
" Rowling recalls with tears in her eyes how an institutionalised boy gave her paintings that had won him first prize in a talent competition yesterday. The boy said he met his birth mother last year €" but that she died three months later.
In a hushed voice, she also tells of six abandoned babies she saw the day before in a maternity hospital.
OK THATZ ALL I COULD FIND SO TILL NEXT TIME CIAO.
