J.K. Rowling gave the commencement speech at Harvard’s Class of 2008 graduation. It is a wonderful and inspirational speech made all the more special to me knowing that my friends Cindy and Gene were sitting in the audience, hearts bursting with pride that their daughter was sitting with the graduates in a cap and gown. Congratulations Lindsey!

You can view the speech in video and in text here

Many thanks to my darling Pookie for sending me that link.
