J.K,Rcwfmg and Harry Potter
J. K. Rowling is the writer of Harry Potter ? which is now one of the best-selling hook series in the world.
J. K. Rowling was born in Bristol on July 31st,1965. She has one sister who is two years younger than her. Both girls loved listening to their father read them bedtime stories. They especially loved stories about magical words. Rowling wrote her first story,called Rabbit,at the age of six.
After she graduated from university ? Rowling worked as a translator in London. During this time on a long train trip in the summer of 1990,the idea of a boy who has magic but doesn’t know it came to her. In 1992 Rowling began to teach English. She lived with her baby daughter,Jessica,and spent much time finishing the first Harry Potter book for young readers. It appeared in June,1997. To her surprise,the book was greatly successful. The film came out in November,2001. Now the Harry Potter series is popular with people of all ages and about sixty million books have been sold in 200 countries.
Why has the series been so successful? There are a few reasons. Many other magical stories take place in faraway lands or in the past or in the future. But Harry lives in modem England. He is also a very normal boy: polite,friendly,brave? and clever. So? when other children read about Harry,they can imagine being like him.
J. K. Rowling is very happy with the success ? and is now busy finishing the rest of the series of seven books. She is writing full time and is really enjoying life. She says she will go on living a normal life with her daughter and continue writing children ’s books.
