Now I want to know who is the person who writes such brilliant books?
JK Rowling is the single mother of a little girl living in Edinburgh. She was a graduate of Exeter University and became a teacher.
Her story sounds a bit like a PR-fairytale. She was just riding a train from Manchester to London when the idea for Harry Potter fell into her head. The train got stuck and so she had much time to think. She wrote the first bit of Harry Potter on some napkins in a cafe while she was unemployed. At this time she was 31 years old, divorced and had a little baby. And her mother died with multiple scleroses. This is why J.K. Rowling got depressed. She says, Harry Potter saved her. I suppose Rowling enjoyed escaping into the fantasy world of witches and wizards. She says, she wrote the book mainly for herself. She didn't believe, that the book would become so famous. After the first idea she wrote five years the first volume. It took so long, because she was also planing and writing parts of the next books. I'm glad, that she had planed all books from the beginning. If you read the second, third or fourth one, you will see, that there is a logical story behind all books. She is going to write seven books, one for every year of Harry at Hogwarts. This year the fifth volume called "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" will appear.
