About the Author
J.K. Rowling is the author of the enduringly popular
Harry Potter books. After the idea for Harry Potter came to her on a delayed
train journey in 1990, she plotted out and started writing the series of seven
books and the first, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, was
published in the UK in 1997.
The series took another ten years to complete, concluding in
2007 with the publication of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
The Harry Potter books have now sold over 600 million copies
in 85 languages, been listened to as audiobooks for over one billion hours and
made into eight smash hit movies.
To accompany the series, J.K. Rowling wrote three short
companion volumes for charity: Quidditch Through the Ages, Fantastic
Beasts and Where to Find Them and The Tales of Beedle the Bard, in
aid of her international children's foundation Lumos.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them went on to
inspire a new series of films featuring Magizoologist Newt Scamander. Harry's
story as a grown-up was continued in a stage play, Harry Potter and the
Cursed Child, which J.K. Rowling wrote with playwright Jack Thorne and
director John Tiffany, and which is now playing in locations around the world.
She is also the author of a bestselling crime fiction series
written under the pen name Robert Galbraith, and two stand-alone children's
novels, The Ickabog and The Christmas Pig.
J.K. Rowling has received many awards and honours for her
writing, including the OBE and Companion of Honour, and a Blue Peter Gold
Badge. She supports a wide number of humanitarian causes through her charitable
trust Volant and is the founder of the international children's care reform
charity Lumos.
