| | |  J.K. Rowling to address Harvard graduates
J.K. Rowling will deliver the keynote address to the graduating class of Harvard University this summer. In addition, the school plans to present Jo with an honorary degree at the ceremony, which will take place on June 5.
According to Harvard president Drew Faust: Quote:
Perhaps no one in our time has done more than J.K. Rowling to inspire young people to experience the excitement and sheer joy of reading.
Harvard isn't exactly Hogwarts, but I am sure that her visit with us next June will be a moment of magic for J.K. Rowling's many admirers across the university.
Interesting note: Graduates usually receive four tickets to the commencement ceremony. Tickets to last year’s graduation, for which the keynote speaker was Bill Gates, ended up for bid on the Internet for upwards of $200. So keep your eyes open!
A video of her appearance will be available afterward.

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |

I hope the tickets don't get snapped up so fast that actual students can't get some for their parents.
I'm graduating this year; come speak at Cardiff University! It's a lot closer! We're the 98th best Uni in the world (fact!) | |
