Very Good Lives: The Fringe Benefits of Failure and the Importance of Imagination is essentially a transcript of the commencement address J.K. Rowling delivered at Harvard University in 2008. Packaged with some charming illustrations, the book is being published primarily to support Lumos, a charity founded by J.K. Rowling to benefit disadvantaged children. I am very glad I discovered the book at my library and look forward to sharing it with others.

No better or worse than most graduation speeches. I haven't kept up with HP since book 4, so this served to out Aldus Dumbledore for me.
