J.K. Rowling was honored today in Edinburgh, Scotland with a pair of her handprints on display in the city. The print are in Caithness stone and can be found in the grounds of Edinburgh's City Chambers.
JKR was given the Edinburgh award 2008 for her contribution to the city by the city council.
"I was delighted to receive the Edinburgh Award, as this city and its wonderful inhabitants have meant so much to me for the last 15 years." said JK, whose books have been turned into hit movies starring Daniel Radcliffe as the bespectacled wizard.
The writer, who still has a house in Edinburgh, added: "I think it is particularly appropriate for a writer's hands to be represented, so I am deeply honoured to have my keyboard-chipped fingernails, not to mention my pen-induced friction callous, commemorated in the place where I produced Harry Potter."
