The OBE honour seems too low… she should be a Dame at least!

She got an OBE in 2000 for services to children's literature, but subsequently with how the Potter franchise got even BIGGER after that, and obviously taking into account the almost INSANE amount of worthwhile charity work she did and continues to do, it shows she's clearly too humble to take a higher honour here in Britain. She took the Lgion d'honneur in 2009, France's highest honour, for services to world literature. So that begs the eternal question - why stay at the second-lowest British civilian honour? By now she would easily with a flick of her wand (haha) be eligible for Dame of the British Empire, hell maybe ev2000en the Companion of Honour for all the amazing stuff she's done. Joanne, we all love you, but break the humility streak for two minutes and get what you deserve, you wonderful dame!
