This is the first year that the award has been given. It was created by the company that developed the muppets to honour any "individual, organisation or product that makes the world a better place by inspiring people to celebrate life."

Rowling was given "The Jim Henson Celebration Honour" because of her "imagination and originality in creating the fantastical world of Harry Potter and for the amazing impact these books have had around the world."
