J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, is in New York City today to finish her "Open Book Tour" in the U.S. by meeting with students at Carnegie Hall. The event, which took place at 11 a.m. this morning, was attended by 1,600 students and the author read a chapter from the last book, Deathly Hallows.
