| | Video of J.K. Rowling at the "Nibbies"
There are two videos available, courtesy of The Leaky Cauldron, of J.K. Rowling at the British Book Awards last week. The first video shows her arrival, as well as that of Jason Isaacs (a.k.a. Lucius Malfoy). The second is her acceptance speech for winning book of the year for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. See transcripts below. Quote:
Jo, in arrivals montage:
"The Nibbies mean a lot to me. I'm really happy to be here. I was first here nine years ago I think. And it was different. Far fewer cameras."
Jason Isaacs, in arrivals montage:
"In my experience writers are generally found on the floor in a pool of their own dribble, and I'm hoping to see a lot of well-known authors get horribly drunk."
Jo's acceptance speech:
"A Nibbie is the first award that Harry Potter ever won. That night I was wearing much cheaper shoes, and I've been terrified ever since sitting down, of having to come up here because these are coming off me. The publication of Harry Potter involves frank insanity, some of which is fun, some of which is just plain mad. Half-Blood Prince brought a lot of that, but in the middle of it all was a book that I was quite proud of, and that is really the best a writer can say - obviously, apart from, 'Look at the royalties.' [Laughter.] And the very last thing I would like to say is I would like to say to Alan Bennett: you think you've got it bad. This is a great opportunity to say, I know owls don't bloody well eat bacon. Thank you."

Rowling's got a fair sense of humour...okay, I admit it: A BRILLIANT sense of humour. She's great.
Love,

__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
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. |
