Update: Edinburgh to Honor JKR

Last Fall we reported that the city of Edinburgh has plans to honor J.K. Rowing, as it was where she started and finished writing the Harry Potter books. The Scotsman is now reporting that Jo will be “immortalised in a Hollywood-style “walk of fame” in the quadrangle outside the City Chambers, where she will leave her handprints.”

Scotland's leading literary figures are expected to attend a gala dinner that will be held for the occasion.

A source at the city council said: "It should be a fantastic occasion. We're trying to ensure as many other Edinburgh people who have won major awards over the year will be there so they can share in the occasion."
