Broomsticks And Owls

heh heh heh...this is funny. :grin:

"J.K. Rowling will bring a touch of magic to the animated sitcom about the dysfunctional family by appearing as herself in an episode set in England.

In the episode, Rowling will meet beer-guzzling Homer Simpson and his family when they visit England to find a girl with whom Grandpa Simpson had a wartime fling. "'The Simpsons' bump into J.K. Rowling outside a bookshop and they talk all about Harry Potter," Don Payne, executive producer of the cult cartoon told the Sun newspaper.

The episode will also feature "Lord of the Rings" star Sir Ian McKellen, the paper said. The family go to see him perform the Shakespeare play "Macbeth," but bring him bad luck by saying the play's name aloud -- in defiance of a well-known theatrical superstition. This leads to the actor being hit by scaffolding and then struck by lightning."

Not sure when it will air. MuggleNet posted this, so I would refer back to them for more updates.

Sounds funny though.

i don't know, i've never seen a picture of her before, i've always imagined her as just the all knowing being who writes, never as a person. Does anyone know what she looks like?
