Rowling with the president! J.K. Rowling joined President Barack Obama for dinner at the U.S. ambassador’s London residence on Saturday, April 23, during his four-day visit to Great Britain with wife Michelle Obama.
A rep for Rowling confirmed that the Harry Potter creator attended the private dinner, according to The Hollywood Reporter. British Prime Minister David Cameron was also on the exclusive guest list.
The Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them author first met the Obamas in 2009 at the G20 summit, where the president had a fan moment and told Rowling that both he and his children had read all her books. The British novelist also attended the White House Easter Egg Roll in 2010 and a banquet thrown by POTUS and the first lady for Queen Elizabeth II when the couple visited Britain in 2011.
Earlier on Saturday, the Obamas stopped by the Shakespeare’s Globe theatre for the 400th anniversary of the playwright's death. The first couple also met with Prince William, Kate Middleton and Prince Harry at Kensington Palace on Friday, April 22. As Us Weekly previously reported, the royal family greeted them outside before they all stepped into the residence to say hello to Prince George. The 2-year-old, who was up past his 7 p.m. bedtime, was clad in an adorable white bathrobe with his name on it, which sold out just minutes after photos of the encounter were released on Friday.
