So who is J.K. Rowling

Joanne Rowling was born on July 31, 1965, in Yate, near Bristol, England. She grew up in England and
in Chepstow, Gwent, Wales. She loved reading and wrote her first story at the age of six. After
graduating from the University of Exeter in 1986, Rowling began working for Amnesty International
in London, England. The idea for the Harry Potter stories came to her during a train ride in 1990, and
she began writing the magic adventure while sitting in cafés and pubs. In the early 1990s she traveled
to Portugal to teach English as a foreign language. After a brief marriage and the birth of her
daughter, she returned to the United Kingdom, settling in Edinburgh, Scotland. Living on public
assistance between work as a French teacher, she continued to write, often on scraps of paper and
napkins.

aunt Petunia, her husband Vernon, and their son Dudley. Harry is mistreated, forced to sleep in a
cupboard under the stairs, and regularly bullied. On his eleventh birthday, Harry begins receiving
mysterious letters , but his aunt and uncle refuse to let him read them. Finally, a giant named Hagrid
intervenes and reveals to Harry the truth that has been hidden from him: Harry is a wizard, born to
famous parents. Hagrid introduces Harry to the Wizarding World, where he learns that he is famous
because his parents were killed by the dark wizard Voldemort when he was an infant. Against all
odds, Harry miraculously survived Voldemort’s attack, leaving him with a lightning-shaped scar
