A reminder now, that as we told you yesterday, live streaming video of J.K. Rowling giving her commencement speech at Harvard University will be available via this link. The stream is now live with J. K. Rowling giving her commencement address at Harvard University. Readers can watch it live here.. Jo is speaking on two topics, failure (and how later you can achieve success) and the power of imagination. JKR also referenced her work with Amnesty International after graduating. The video and text will then be reposted immediately afterward here on the Harvard Magazine website.The first photos of Jo receiving her honorary degree are starting to appear online via Getty Images and the AP.

While TLC has a crew in attendance, if you are also lucky enough to be at the event today, please send in your reports and photos which we will be happy to post as well.

She got her honorary degree in the morning commencements. So unless your leaky team was there then i’m afraid you’ve missed it. I’ve been watching all of today’s ceremony on the web (I have nothing better to do).

Just to clarify. She got her honorary degree then, but she still has to give the speech.

FYI: You need RealPlayer installed for the link to work, and you need to be able to stream video. Your work may not have real player, or may have stopped the streaming of videos.
