Text, audio and video of Jo Rowling's commencement address, extolling the benefits of failure and the power of imagination, available here.
"We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better."
Inspiring and unsentimental, infused with humility and splashed with humor, it's an address I wouldn't have minded hearing on my graduation day fourteen years ago.
Although, truth be told, Al Gore was totally hot in 1994.
