J.K. Rowling is the writer of the Harry Potter series, which is now one of the best-sellers.
    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 reading bedtime stories to them. They especially loved stories about magical worlds. Rowling wrote her first story, called Rabbit at the age of six.
    After she graduated from the university, Rowling worked as a translator in London. During that time, on a long train trip in the summer of 1990, the idea came to her of a boy who has magic but doesn't know it. In 1992, Rowling began to teach English. She lived with her 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 very successful. The film came out in November 2001. Now the Harry Potter series is popular with people of all ages and about 60 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 future times. But Harry lives in modern England. He's also a very normal boy: polite, friendly, brave and clever. When other children read the story about Harry, they can imagine being like him.
    J.K. Rowling is very happy with her success. She's writing full time and she's really enjoying life. She says she will go on living a normal life with her daughter and writing children's books.
