J.K. Rowling Accepts Harvard Degree
Author of the famous ‘Harry Potter’ series – J.K. Rowling dressed herself in a red and black gown as she accepted an honorary Doctor of Letters degree from one of the United States most prestigious colleges – Harvard University. She gave a small speech before accepting the degree in Cambridge, Massachusetts where she spoke of the importance of imagination.
“We do not need magic to transform our world,” she said. “We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already. (Imagination) is fount of all invention and innovation… (and) the power that enables us to empathise with humans whose experiences we have never shared.”
