J.K. Rowling, author of the best-selling 'Harry Potter' series, has been conferred with the Legion of Honour, France's highest civilian award.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy bestowed Rowling with the honorary title of 'knight' at a ceremony in the Elysee Palace.
Rowling's great-grandfather, who was French, received it in 1924 for courage in the First World War.
