With the final installment of Harry Potter being released on July 21st, author J.K. Rowling has announced a rare book tour:

J.K. Rowling will come to America in October, holding events in Los Angeles (at the Kodak Theater), New Orleans (at the convention center) and New York (at Carnegie Hall) for schoolchildren and a fourth event in New York open to 1,000 fans "lucky enough to win a ticket through a sweepstakes to be held by Scholastic." She will read from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, answer questions from the audience, and sign copies of the new book.

Scholastic is shipping more than 13 million copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and expecting to sell almost ten million copies in the first 24 hours it's on sale! Think about that. That's twice as many records as Justin Timberlake, Arcade Fire, and MIMS have sold combined of their last albums! Bonkers......
