JK Rowling Gives Press An Eyeful

AUTHOR JK Rowling took the plunge in Hollywood - and needed more than Harry Potter's magic to spare her blushes.

Mum-of-three Rowling, 42, walked into a press conference unaware her neckline was too low and set to reveal her bra to all the onlookers

She looked smartly dressed as she took the stage. But as she leaned forward, she gave the audience an eyeful.

As the cameras flashed and a group of 12 young fans invited to the launch burst into giggles, a reporter warned her of her wardrobe malfunction.

Everyone howled with laughter as the writer quickly tugged at her dress and covered herself up.

"Oh gosh," Rowling gasped at the reporter. "Thank you for that."

A witness said: "Jo looked really embarrassed.

"It took her ages to notice and she would have done the whole press conference like that if it hadn't been pointed out. It was quite a launch for a project aimed at schoolchildren."

The Edinburgh-based author was at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood to launch her Harry Potter Open Book Tour of the USA.

She will visit three cities over the next five days.
