On a dark and rainy morning, October 23, the IFOA team was in the basement of Toronto's Winter Garden Theatre putting the final touches to the opening event of this year's festival for younger readers: YoungIFOA.
J.K. Rowling came in fabulous Prada boots to read at the opening event of YoungIFOA. More than 900 fans were there, having travelled from as far away as Nunavut and New Brunswick, B.C. and PEI. And all of the tickets were free!
After a morning press conference at which she fielded a dirth of questions about her recent outing of Dumbledore, Rowling read from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, took questions from fans less interested in the news angle and more interested in just finding out a little bit more about their favourite author (apparently, she likes otters, but is a bit anti-cat) and signed a book for every fan in attendance. IFOA can confirm that Ms Rowling has, in addition to a talent for enchanting readers of all ages the world over, a very speedy signature...
YoungIFOA runs now until October 26, with events for school groups every day.
