J.K. Rowling (full name Joanne Kathleen Rowling) is a British female writer who created the world-popular "Harry Potter" series of books.

Joanne Catherine Rowling was born on July 31, 1965 in Gwent, England.

Her father is a retired executive at the Royce-Rohr aircraft manufacturer, and her mother is a laboratory technician.

Rowling was a plain-looking girl wearing glasses when she was a child. She loved to study very much, was a bit shy, had a runny nose, and was quite wild.

She loved writing and telling stories since she was a child. She wrote a story about rabbits when she was 6 years old.

Her sister is the object of her storytelling.

The drive and desire to create has never left her.

She worked briefly as a teacher and secretary.

Rowling loves English literature and majored in French in college.

After graduation, she went to Portugal alone and fell in love with a local reporter.

Unfortunately, this marriage came and went quickly.

Soon, she returned to the UK with her 3-month-old daughter, Jessica, and lived in a small unheated apartment in Edinburgh.

Unable to find a job, she had to rely on the meager unemployment benefits to support herself and her daughter.

When Rowling was 24 years old, on a train journey from Manchester to London, a thin, black-haired wizard wearing glasses kept smiling at her from the car window.

He suddenly broke into her life and gave her the idea of ????creating Harry Potter.

Although she didn't have paper or pen at hand at the time, she began to imagine wildly and finally pushed this Harry Potter boy's story to the world.

Thus, Harry Potter was born - a 10-year-old boy with a thin stature, black messy hair, bright green eyes, wearing round glasses, and a thin, lightning-shaped scar on his forehead...

Harry Potter has become a popular fairy tale character all over the world.

As a single mother, Rowling and her daughter's life was extremely difficult.

When she started writing "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the first part of the Harry Potter series of fairy tales, Rowling often went to a cafe near her home to read Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone because her house was small and cold.

Special stories are written on small pieces of paper.

However, her efforts soon paid off.

The fairy tale attracted much attention upon its publication and received rave reviews, including the British National Book Award for Children's Fiction and the Smarty Book Gold Medal Award.

Rowling then created "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" and "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" in 1998 and 1999 respectively, which further shocked the world.

In July 2000, with the release of the fourth "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", the worldwide "Harry Potter" craze continued to heat up, creating a myth in the history of publishing.

In the face of success and wealth, Rowling did not forget the suffering she had experienced. After becoming famous, she became passionate about humanitarian charity activities.

In September 2000, she became the ambassador of the Single Parent Families Council and donated 500,000 pounds.

In March 2001, she used the pseudonyms Newt Scamman and Ken to raise funds for Drama Relief, a group of British comedians founded in 1985 to promote social justice and help eradicate poverty.

Nieves Whisp created two booklets related to the "Harry Potter" stories, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and "The Amazing Quidditch," donating the proceeds to the foundation.

In April 2001, in memory of her mother, she donated another ￡250,000 to the Multiple Sclerosis Society.

On Boxing Day, the day after Christmas in 2001, Rowling remarried to anesthetist Neil Murray at their new home in Scotland.

In March 2003, they had a son named David.

In January 2005, another cute little girl, Mackenzie, also came to the family.

Today, Rowling lives happily and low-key in Edinburgh with her husband and three children, continuing to write her "Harry Potter" stories amidst the expectations of Harry Potter fans.
