Last but not least, I must inform you about the Biography of J K Rowling for you to be well introduced about the author’s life, besides her books.
J K Rowling, AKA Joanne Rowling, was born on July 31st in 1965 in Yate, Gloucestershire, England. Her sister, Di, was born two years later, which Joanne loved nothing more than making up stores for Di. Later on, in 1971, her family moved to a town called Winterbourne, where Rowling met a family called Potter (which Rowling loved the name). But Rowling’s family moved once again where she attended primary and secondary school, and during this time was when Rowling’s mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
J K Rowling attended the University of Exter where she studied French for her degree. The degree that got Rowling working in London with multiple jobs, one job in particular was being a translator for Amnesty International. Around this time is when Rowling conducted the idea for Harry Potter when she was stuck on a train delayed for hours. Not much after, Rowling’s mother died, and Rowling thought it was time to get away, but to still continue her writing. Rowling went to live in Portugal as an English teacher and married a Portuguese journalist (marriage only lasted over a year).
After everything, she finished her first novel of Harry Potter (not thinking the book would ever get published), that became published. Rowling’s book made her into a billionaire and a well-known author globally; extremely famous of her Harry Potter book series.
Rowling is now currently living in Scotland with her three children and her second husband, Neil Murray. She does not “plan” on writing anymore books in the Harry Potter series, but let’s hope she will.
