history meme - ten moments - the crowning and beheading of anne boleyn

Anne was crowned Queen of England on 1 June 1533, and her ascension to the throne marked the split between her husband, Henry VIII, and The Catholic Church, and the beginning of the The Church of England, which remains the state religion in England to this day. She was beheaded on 19 May 1536 under accusations of high treason, including murder, incest and witchcraft. Her daughter Elizabeth would eventually ascend the throne and become one of Britain’s most celebrated rulers. Anne is remembered as one of history’s most infamous queens.

No story lives unless someone wants to listen. So…

I cry every time I see this set because my dream is to throw those words right back at her: Thank you. Harry Potter is the most special thing that’s ever happened and all the characters, all the places in the books, all the lessons learned, and hearts healed are because of her and the world she created. Like I’m glad she appreciates her fans because we did help catapult her into a one-of-a-kind success story but she, this wonderful woman, Jo-she gave us so much. She gave us a story worth listening to and a place to escape to when there really wasn’t much else. She inspired a lot of our dreams and shaped our lives for the better. What we’ve helped give her is nothing compared to what all she’s given us. Nothing. Because all the money in the world still isn’t enough payback for some of us feeling like we’re finally gonna be okay because of Harry.
