Phenomenal
The world is lled with people who think they can
write a book . Perhaps they can . But the truth is, few people
actually do it; fewer still see that book published , and even
fewer see it published to critical and popular acclaim .
And then theres J. K. Rowling . She wrote and
published a few books you may have heard mentioned
maybe even read . They are about a boy who learns he is a
wizard ... a boy with an iconic scar on his forehead ...
a boy who lives , despite the best efforts of the worlds
most powerful , dark wizard . The boy is Harry Potter .
J. K. Rowlings books about him not only have received
great acclaim but also have forever changed the world.
Rowlings work is phenomenal in the truest sense of the
word . Her books about Harry and his wizarding world have
sold by the hundreds of millions of copies and , according
to her American publisher , have been translated into
different languages and sold in more than countries .
Rowling is a writer whose work has impacted the world
far beyond the content of her books . The world of Harry
Potter and the world of J. K. Rowling are rich with
imagination, creativity , and a powerful call for the
triumph of light over darkness. Rowlings work
goes beyond words , beyond the connes of her
pages . It is part of our global culture and is
woven into the very fabric of our lives.
The Journey Begins Rowling conceived the world of Harry Potter and began to - photo 7
The Journey Begins
Rowling conceived the world
of Harry Potter and began to
write his story on a train ride
from Manchester to London ,
England , in 1990 . She plotted
the books and began to write
the rst novel over the next ve
years . In 2007 , she completed
the series she originally
imagined on that train .
J. K.
J. K. stands for Joanne Kathleen . But
Kathleen isnt really part of her name .
When she published her rst book ,
the publisher asked her to use initials ,
thinking a womans name would put off
boys as readers . Rowling added the K for
Kathleen her grandmothers name
and became J. K.
Muggle Born In Rowlings wizarding world a Muggle is a nonmagical - photo 8
Muggle Born
In Rowlings wizarding world , a Muggle is a nonmagical
individual . By all indications , Joanne Rowling was born
a Muggle , to Muggle parents , on July , 1965 , in Yate,
England . She made her entrance at Yate Cottage Hospital ,
the eldest daughter of Anne and Peter Rowling . Her sister
Dianne arrived months later . When Jo was nine years old ,
the family moved to Tutshill , a small town near Chepstow ,
Wales . There, they enjoyed investigating the natural world
around them in an entirely normal , Muggle-ish way . Life was
suitable , and they were happy .
When Rowling was about six years old , she created a
story about a rabbit named Rabbit and a bee named Miss
Bee . Rabbit developed a terrible case of the measles and
spent time in convalescence visiting with Miss Bee . The
story may not have been gripping for anyone else, but
for Rowling , the world would never be the same . She
became a writer , passionately longing to tell stories . In
her biography , Rowling is quoted as saying , Ever since
Rabbit and Miss Bee , I have wanted to be a writer , though
I rarely told anyone so . I was afraid theyd tell me I didnt
have a hope.
The Muggle girl had found her magic , and once she set
it free , the world would be transformed by her enchanting ,
spellbinding gift .

We do not need magic to transform our world . We
