Jo get yet another honour!

Quote:
JK Rowling's stone handprints have gone on display in Edinburgh, the city where Harry Potter came to life.

The best-selling author's engraved handprints, in Caithness stone, are in the grounds of Edinburgh's City Chambers.

JK, who famously penned the young wizard's story during snatched moments in Edinburgh, said she was delighted to be honoured with the Edinburgh Award 2008, which was bestowed upon her by the council of the Scots capital in thanks for her contribution to the city.

"I was delighted to receive the Edinburgh Award, as this city and its wonderful inhabitants have meant so much to me for the last 15 years." said JK, whose books have been turned into hit movies starring Daniel Radcliffe as the bespectacled wizard.

The writer, who still has a house in Edinburgh, added: "I think it is particularly appropriate for a writer's hands to be represented, so I am deeply honoured to have my keyboard-chipped fingernails, not to mention my pen-induced friction callous, commemorated in the place where I produced Harry Potter."
The Press Association: Rowling's handprints set in stone

That's pretty cool!

Oh the questions will never end. I want that encyclopedia. But I'm sure those will just open the flood gates to new questions

They'll only end when Jo dies. And even then Jessica might be answering them.

I bet Jo and Jessica have had MANY HP related discussions and she probably knows so much about the universe than anyone.

That's true, Jessica would probably know almost as much as Jo herself. She did after all grow up with Harry in an almost literal sense.

She was his first sibling! Metaphorically speaking.

Kevin, Jessica is Jo's eldest daughter. And if she's not interested than I'm sure David or Mackenzie might grow into the fascination over the books too. So we have 3 assurances to extend the longevity of fans interest. And Neil too of course. Can't forget the man who she probably confided in about characters and plot the most.

Neil would be a pretty good source . I can imagine the kids getting into it to be honest. The most I see it for though is Jessica. She had to share her mother the most with Harry .

King blew me away with his comment. Seriously. We should use that as a future title. "Jo Rowling is a terrific writer." *smug*

We should. We will.

Neil had to put up with all of Jo's fretting and cryptic worrying. "I'm going to kill a character who I don't want to die but must."

Speaking about Harry Potter, we know that we all are going to pass down Harry Potter to our children and they to their children. Rowling's legacy will never end.

Getting that Edinburgh's award must be so meaningful to her. After all, it's where it was all happened.
