J.K. Rowling is the author of the enduringly popular Harry
Potter series, as well as several stand-alone novels and a
bestselling crime fiction series. 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.
Smash hit movie adaptations followed. The Harry Potter books have
now sold over 600 million copies worldwide in 85 languages and been
listened to as audiobooks for over one billion hours. To accompany
the series, J.K. Rowling wrote three short companion volumes for
charity: Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where
to Find Them, in aid of Comic Relief and Lumos, and The Tales of
Beedle the Bard, in aid of 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 multiple locations around the
world. In 2020, she returned to publishing for younger children
with the fairy tale The Ickabog, the royalties from which she
donated to her charitable trust, Volant, to help charities working
to alleviate the social effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Her
latest children’s novel, The Christmas Pig, was published in 2021.
J.K. Rowling has received many awards and honours for her writing,
including the OBE and Companion of Honour, the Hans Christian
Andersen Award and a Blue Peter Gold Badge. She supports a wide
number of humanitarian causes through Volant, and is the founder of
the international children’s care reform charity Lumos. J.K.
Rowling lives in Scotland with her family.
