| | J. K. Rowling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Rowling is also believed to be the wealthiest woman in the United Kingdom, well ahead of even Queen Elizabeth II, but this is unproven as the Queen's personal fortune is hidden in 'The Bank of England Nominees' making her fortune known to only her closest officials. | | | Rowling then moved to Oporto, Portugal, to teach English as a foreign language. | | | Rowling's use of the term "Muggles" describes ordinary humans with no magical powers while Stouffer's "Muggles" are tiny, hairless creatures with elongated heads. |

| | J K Rowling Biography and Harry Potter |
| | Joanne (far right) describes her early character as being slightly insecure and bossy, and very similar to Hermione in the Harry Potter books. | | | Here is a picture of Joanne, receiving an honour, The Order of British Empire, for her contributions to literature, or maybe it's for her services to Magic, I'm not quite sure which. | | | And that it is children's works, like Joannes, that deal with issues of morality and life and death. |

| | Guardian Unlimited Books Authors Rowling, JK (Joanne Kathleen) |
| | Rowling intends to write seven books in all, one for each year of Harry's life at his wizard school. | | | Devoured as much by adults as by children (and available in adult editions with muted cover illustrations and higher price tags), her Harry Potter books have had critics praising their linguistic inventiveness (she loves making up magic words), comic timing and page-turning plots. | | | The underlying themes of friendship and loyalty established in the first two books are developed into darker themes of betrayal, despair and bereavement by book number three, Harry Potter and Prisoner of Azkaban. |

| | She may be richer than the Queen of England, but Joanne Rowling started life in more modest circumstances. | | | When she finished the manuscript, she didn't have enough money to photocopy it, so she had to send it to one agent at a time. | | | It took a year for Little to sell the book to Bloomsbury: most publishers passed on the book because it was far too long for middle grade fiction and it didn't fit as an adult fantasy. |

| | Rowling was a writer long before she was a published author. | | | In 2003, Rowling successfully sued Dmitry Yemets, the author of Tanya Grotter and the Magic Double Bass, a Russian children's book, for lifting major plot elements from her Potter books. | | | As a teen, she's described herself as "shy, freckly, with no natural athletic ability, but a great love of literature." As an adult, she wrote two novels, both unsold, while working for Amnesty International, and later working as "the worst secretary ever, very disorganized." |
