Doing a speech on J.K Rowling/harry potter?

Question

I'm planning to do a 3-5 minutes speech on either j.k rowling/harry potter. I need an intro and to make 3 points. Now I'm not sure what type of information I would like to do. Either how some of her ideas started fandom like potter puppet pals,shoebox ect.
Or point out ideas on how she started the series.
Though alot of people know that. I'm looking for an idea to keep my listeners awake and something they might not know of the hp series and such.

Hi,

J.K. Rowling supports many charities. You could research those and talk about her contributions to society. For example, her books "Fantastic Beasts and How to Find Them" and "Quidditch Through the Ages" were written to fund the charity organization Comic Relief.

However, how interesting your speech will be does not entirely depend on the topic. It also depends on the speaker. Make your speech special. Be well prepared. Speak loudly (for those in the back of the room).

Good luck!

Click on the notebook "Everything you might want to know". Read the pages labeled "Charities". She also talks about her charity books under "The books" (look toward the end of the section).

oooooh i have a GREAT IDEA!

begin with how she was on the train and thought of the harry potter idea...then explain how she is richer than the queen...through films, merchandise, etc

and then explain how they are building a harry potter themepark in florida next year
you can say so much about the influneces she has made on not just this generation but the media and tourism

i did something like this too, it was like "someone who made a contribution to the 21st century." i talked about her getting children to loving reading again, and creating great discussions and passion, and then stuff about all her charity work like with the MS society
i'm not sure if i'm answering your question or not, but oh well...
