No, this is neither a trailer of the next movie nor an announcement of an upcoming instalment of the Harry Potter Series but I can tell you that this is better than those.
Stumbled upon this extraordinary speech given by J.K. Rowling at a Harvard Commencement last 2008 a moment ago. Stop for a few minutes, push the play button and be inspired! But if you’re a Harry Potter fan, I think I will never have to use the word extraordinary and the name JK Rowling in one sentence for me to hook you up on watching this video. After all, you already know it for a fact and you might have actually thought that I was being redundant and superfluous for saying that. Duh? I know, I know, but in my defense, I do think that redundancy is not actually a bad thing especially if it is utilized for an added impact as far as English grammar is concerned; it only becomes bad when you are already unknowingly using it as a one word description of what your life is all about and you’re just fine with it. Anyway, I am an avid fan too, you know and I could not stop praising how brilliant she is!
You can find the full transcript of her speech here, just in case you want to indulge yourself more.
