Fun facts

-Her real name is Joanne Rowling (she changed it so the publishers would think she was male so they would publish her book!🙄)

-She has the same birthday as Harry Potter

-She wrote her initial for Harry Potter on a napkin on a train to London

-The original Harry Potter manuscript was rejected 12 times by 12 different publishing houses before it was picked up by Bloomsbury

As well as the Harry Potter books, Joanne also wrote a book called 'Fantastic Beasts and where to find them', which was made into a film (much like the Harry Potter series).

Fantastic Beasts is all about Newt Scamander, a magizoologist (don't ask) who arrives in the city of New York with a briefcase full of magical creatures and a desire, or should I say 'Erised', to explore the world.

I think it is fair to say that J.K. Rowling is an amazing author who has produced many fantastic beasts books for us to all enjoy.

J.K. Rowling is a British author who created the popular Harry Potter series (seven books published between 1997 and 2007), about a lonely orphan who discovers that he is actually a wizard and enrols in the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
