  J.K.Rowling is probably the most famous author alive today.Her books about the adventures of a young wizard(魔法师)named Harry Potter have sold more than 325 million copies.They have also been translated into 64 different languages.

  Joanne Kathleen Rowing was born in 1965 in England.She always dreamt of becoming a writer, and began writing stories when she was six years old.After she studied French at university, in 1990 she decided to move to Manchester, and went there to look for a flat.Her journey back to London was long and boring.But on that journey the idea for the Harry Potter stories first entered her mind.

  Over the next year, she worked hard on her novel.Then, her mother died from a long and difficult illness.She was only 45.To forget her grief, Rowling moved to Portugal(葡萄牙)to work as an English teacher.There, she had a lot of free time to work on her book, and rewrote many parts of the story.

  When she arrived back in Britain in 1994, she had a baby daughter and very little money.She moved to Edinburgh to live near her sister, and worked on her novel.Whenever her daughter feel asleep, Rowling would write as quickly as she could.After several months, she finished the book.

  It may be surprising, but no publishers wanted to buy her book at first.They thought that people today would not like a story about magic.In 1996, after a year of searching, she found a company that would publish the novel.It soon became a bestseller, and was later turned into a successful film.People around the world have gone crazy for Harry Potter ever since.
