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

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

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 .

The Power

We do not need magic to transform our world . We
