11) Info on the Author.

     Joanne Rowling is the author of the Harry Potter books. She is also known as J.K Rowling. Rowling was born on July 31, 1965 in a town called Yate near Bristol. Since she was a young girl, she dreamed of writing. In 1990 when she was stuck on a train one afternoon, she came up with the idea of Harry Potter. It took her six years to complete the first book. Duing this time she moved to Portugal to be a teacher.
     Overtime, J.K Rowling was sued many times for plagiarism. Each of the claims were dismissed. She has become very wealthy as a result from writing the series. As of Summer 2011, she was named the best selling author in the history of literature. Rowling has also been the first author to become a billionare from writing books. She has writtern several other books in the series which have been banned. On June 30, 1997 the first book in the series was released. I believe she does try to teach lessons throughout this story. These are just a few facts I discovered about my books author J.K Rowling.
