J.K. Rowling is the unprecedentedly successful author of the seven books in the Harry Potter series. Since the publication of her first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the popularity of her stories
has steadily increased. Currently five out of seven of her novels have been made into insanely popular films. As of this date, in 2009, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the sixth Harry Potter movie, which will undoubtedly bring in another few million dollars for this very talented lady.

J.K. Rowling was born Joanne Rowling on July 31, 1965. She later added Katherine to her name so that she could have another initial for her pen name. She was born on the outskirts of Bristol, England and is the eldest of two daughters. Her parents moved Joanne and her younger sister, Di to Winterbourne when Rowling was four. There she met a young boy and a young girl whose last name she came to like. Their last name was Potter. The Rowling family moved one more time, when Joanne was nine, to Tutshill. The family was living here when her mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Joanne was fifteen at the time.

J.K. Rowling attended a few grade schools and then went on to attend Wyedean Comprehensive. After her high school graduation she enrolled in the University of Exeter, where she studied French. During Rowling's time in college she was able to spend a year in France as part of her studies.

J.K. Rowling's mother died shortly after Christmas in 1990. In 1991, when she was 26, J.K Rowling moved to Portugal and began teaching English. There she met and married Jorges Arentes. The couple had a daughter, who they named Jessica. The couple separated three years after their wedding and Joanne took her daughter with her to Edinburgh, where they could be close to Di. Rowling had been working on Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone for a few years by then and it was at this point that she set to finishing the novel in earnest.
