Rowling Receives Honorary Degree

JK Rowling has been presented with the prestigious ‘doctor honoris causa’ from Edinburg University (Scotland) for her contributions to children’s literature. According to Professor Pamela Munn “the impact of the Harry Potter series of books on children around the world has been phenomenal. Reading has become cool with even the most reluctant readers, in the shape of teenage boys, being caught up in the world inhabited by Harry Potter.”

The degree is one of the University’s highest honors. No word from [Dr. Rowling] though about the next Potter novel. Read More.
