How did that happen? JK Rowling is at first oblivious to the fact her bra is showing, but once she finds out, she covers up quickly

Meeting a group of children yesterday to talk about her Harry Potter books was not a magic moment for JK Rowling.

The author's low-cut dress slipped down, giving the youngsters an eyeful of her bra – causing them to collapse into fits of giggles.

Without any magical powers to fix the wardrobe malfunction, the blushing writer had to perform a quick readjustment herself to spare any further embarassment.

'Oh gosh,' the 42-year-old said after a journalist at the event in Hollywood pointed out her creamcoloured lingerie was on show.

'Thank you for that,' Rowling said. 'You can have any questions you like answered now.'

It happened during a press conference to promote her Harry Potter Open Book Tour of the States.

She will visit three cities over the next five days, reading excerpts from her hit children's novels.

One eyewitness said: 'Jo looked really embarrassed.

'She would have done the whole press conference like that if it hadn't been pointed out.'

Rowling's blunder was strikingly similar to the moment TV chat show host Judy Finnegan went on stage with her dress fully open at the 2000 National Television Awards.

On that occasion, husband Richard Madeley was on hand to help cover up his wife when he saw her underwear was on show.
