| | | J.K. Rowling to receive Edinburgh award
J.K. Rowling is set to receive the Edinburgh Award, an honour bestowed upon those who aid in the advancement in the fields of science, technology, education, arts, business or charity. Edinburgh's city council, who have given Jo the prestigious accolades, will have a walk-of-fame ceremony in the quadrangle outside the City Chambers, on which her hand prints will be immortalised in cement, as well as a dinner gala to celebrate the achievement.
There is no set date for the ceremony, but we will update as soon as we find out more about the events. |

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

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. |

well now this one's extra special. JKR live in Edinburgh right? not to mention she wrote most of the books there. must be a different kind of feeling to be acknowledged by the town that knows you better than anywhere else.
