A Harry Potter Commencement: JK Rowling speaks at Harvard

You might find it interesting to go here to Harvard Magazine, and read or listen to J.K. Rowling's commencement address to Harvard's graduating class of 2008, in which she talks about her struggles before publishing the books she wanted to write, and discusses the value of personal failure and of imagination. It's a neat look at what Rowling finds important, and a little window on the hurdles to become a writer.
