Today I got to see JK Rowling give the commencement speech at Harvard. I really enjoyed it. It was way better than the commencement speech for Simmons, so I appreciated it as a recent graduate. Here is a link to video and the full text. Here is a link to an NPR story about it with some pretty interesting opinions from some members of the Harvard class of 2008, a 10-year-old who skipped school to attend, and some alumni.
This is how far back I had to stand. If you look really close, you can see the podium way in the distance with the real JK Rowling standing at it. It was still worth it.
