  • she is such a special individual. the world is lucky to have her. She's my hero. what she wrote and who she is is beautiful (inside out). I go to a small university college in Utrecht and it would be the highlight of my life if she would come and speak thus at my graduation.

  • Poor JKR! This speech is just so moving!

  • Jk Rowling is one of the most inspirational human beings of our time.

  • nice speech!

  • I really hope that 20 years later they will still remember her speech. They probably won't hear such an inspirational one again.

  • "to live in a country with a democratically elected government where legal representation and a public trial were the rights of everyone"

    ermm isn't someone forgetting a certain BABAR AHMED HERE!!

    Seven years behind bars. No evidence. No trial.

    Sign the petition to have him put on trial. : epetitions.direct.gov. uk/petitions/885

  • @Sandude Yes you will! Don't say that!

  • smartest woman ever :)

  • Very Inspiring!

  • She is such a strong women and I would love to meet her. Even apart from Harry Potter she has done so much and she is my inspiration. When I was listening to this, I literally felt something in my heart and I just wish I could grow up to be strong like her.

  • it's cool that she mentioned God without ever saying it. the humility that she stresses upon during hardship is very close to the realization that as humans we can't do everything; and the fact that her life is out of her control is a reminder that there is a greater force. I think that it's more than just an inspiration speech, it should become a mentality that every person should have in order to overcome the breaking points in life.

  • I'll never accomplish anything
