　　J. K. Rowling is the writer of Harry Potter which is now one of the best-sellers in the world.

　　J. K. Rowling was born in Bristol on July 31st 1965. She has one sister who is two years younger than her. Both girls loved listening to their father reading bedtime stories to them. They especially loved stories about magical worlds. Rowling wrote her first story called Rabbit at the age of six.

　　After she graduated from the university Rowling worked as a translator(翻译者) in London. During this time on a long train trip in the summer of 1990 the idea came to her of a boy who has magic but doesn't know it. In 1992 Rowling began to teach English. She lived with her baby daughter Jessica and spent much time finishing the first Harry Potter book for young readers. It appeared in June 1997. To her surprise the book was greatly successful. The film came out in November 2001. Now Harry Potter series(系列) is popular with people of all ages and about 60 million books were sold in 200 countries.

　　Why has the series been so successful? There are a few things. Many other magical stories take place in far away lands or in past or future times. But Harry lives in modern(现代的) England. He's also a very normal(平常的) boy: polite friendly brave and clever. So when other children read about Harry they can imagine being like him.

　　J. K. Rowling is very happy with the success and she is now busy finishing the whole series of seven books. She's writing full time and she's really enjoying life. She says she will go on living a normal life with her daughter and writing children's books.
