Rowling’s fabulous commencement speech

If you haven’t seen it already, treat yourself to J.K. Rowling’s recent commencement speech at Harvard.

Ignore the transcript of the speech and watch the video. It’s so much better hearing her say it!

    Thanks for the link,Robin. What a beautiful speech,every college should play this during their graduation ceremonies. It’s a real education in itself.

    That was incredible. Not only did I listen to the whole thing, but I also copied the text and saved it so I can refer to it. Hers is absolutely a magnificent story, and I think she’s a fantastic woman, but it’s refreshing to hear her intelligence and empathy in this speech. Thanks for the link. Miss you and can’t wait to read your new work!
