J.K. Rowling receives Companion of Honour
On 12th December, J.K. Rowling was made a Member of the Order of the Companions of Honour, for her services to literature and philanthropy. She accepted the esteemed award from the Duke of Cambridge during an investiture at Buckingham Palace.
The century-old Order was founded by King George V in June 1917 as a reward for outstanding achievements in the arts, literature, music, science, politics, industry or religion. It is a special award held by no more than 65 people at any given time, and one which recognises services of national significance. J.K. Rowling was made a Companion of Honour this year along with Sir Paul McCartney, Delia Smith, Sir Terence Conran and others.
Of the honour, she said “to be included in the distinguished and diversely talented company of the other Companions of Honour, especially as a female writer, is a particular privilege.”

It is a well-earned honor, thanks for having the courage to share Harry Potter with the world!
Congratulations! THANKS FOR SHARING THIS DELIGHTFUL, EXCITING WORLD!
Congratulations! You really deserve this award and the Harry Potter series is my favorite series of all time. My parents started reading me the first Harry Potter book when I was 6, and it's also my mom's favorite book series, and my younger siblings are reading it, and they love it as well! Congratulations!!!!!!

I think they're counting Harry Potter and the Cursed Child as a book eight, which it basically is.
Harry Potter and the cursed child is a script book
I hope they make more Harry Potter books!!!
Congratulations! You totally deserved it.
Can't think of anyone who deserves it more. Thank you so much for everything you've done for me. Your books made me who I am today. Best wishes,
Brooke (Proud Hufflepuff)
