J.K Rowling, on receiving an honorary degree from Harvard recently made the following comments, that all IE promoters would share:

"We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already; we have the power to imagine better . . . Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation . . . In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared."..
