J.K. Rowling (Gloucestershire, b. 1965)

J.K. Rowling (Joanne Rowling) grew up in Chepstow, Gwent where she went to Wyedean Comprehensive. Rowling left Chepstow for Exeter University, where she received a degree in French and Classics. As a postgraduate, she moved to London and worked as a researcher at Amnesty International among other occupations. It was during this time that Rowling began writing the internationally successful Harry Potter series, and for the next five years, she outlined the plots for each book. Rowling then moved to Portugal, where she taught English. After divorcing her husband, Rowling and her daughter returned to the UK to live in Edinburgh, where the first novel of the Harry Potter series “Harry Potter & the Sorcerer’s Stone” was ultimately completed. The book was published under the name J.K. Rowling, the ‘K’ for her grandmother Kathleen, as her publisher thought a woman’s name would not appeal to young male readers. Following the wildly successful first book in the series were, “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,” (1998), “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” (1999), “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” (2000), “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” (2003), “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” (2005) and, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” (2007).
