We, the fans of the Harry Potter series, respectfully petition the Nobel Prize Committee to seriously consider our nomination of Joanne Kathleen Rowling for the Nobel Prize in Literature. The literary works of Ms. Rowling have been widely received and acclaimed all over the world. The magic of the Potter books is drawn from history, rich in context, and lush in detail. She uses magic as a metaphor for empowerment, a manifestation of human intelligence, bravery and grit. Her work is complex yet it is a simple tale of good conquering evil. It is a tale that illuminates the fundamental truths about the human condition.

We say that the impact Ms.Rowling has single-handedly had on the promotion of literacy, of engaging children as well as adults all over the world with books again, has made her a worthy candidate for this prestigious award.
