| | | J.K.Rowling nominated for Great Briton award
J.K.Rowling has been nominated for the Morgan Stanley Great Briton 2007 award, in the arts category. She faces competition from Damien Hirst and Sir Ian McKellen. Quote:
The judges described Rowling's "unprecedented global reach" as phenomenal - even her official website is available in six languages.
More than anything, they were impressed by the way she had managed to infect children (and adults) the world over with an enthusiasm for reading. They conceded that the form of her novels was "conventional to a tee", but were impressed by the way she had given them a "modern, imaginative twist".

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. |
