Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling addressed graduates of Harvard University at Thursday’s commencement address. Check out the video clip of J.K. Rowling at the Harvard commencement - she’s very funny!

J.K. Rowling talks about her life’s failures before she became wildly successful with the Harry Potter novels.

J.K. Rowling was given a Harvard honorary doctor of letters degree.

At one point, J.K. Rowling told the Harvard graduates, “We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already; we have the power to imagine better.”
