I honestly did not expect this speech to be that amazing when I first clicked it, but by the time she was done speaking I literally had shivers up my spine.  This was an amazing and touching speech about human suffering and poverty and the role of imagination in escaping it…and by imagination JK Rowling did not mean magic, but the creativity and education needed to benefit the powerless and voiceless.
