J. K. Rowling


Joanne Rowling was born in Chipping Sodbury, July 31st, 1965. She is known for been the writer of the seven-book Harry Potter.


Rowling was living in Edinburgh, Scotland, and struggling to get by as a single mom before her first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was published after being rejected by 12 major publishing houses.




While struggling to support her daughter Jessica and herself, Rowling worked on her first book in the Harry Potter series. The idea for the book reportedly occurred to her while she was traveling on a train from Manchester to London in 1990.



I got to know Rowling when I watched Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for the first time at young age, maybe at nine or ten years old. Since then I watched all the Harry Potter’s movies, but just last summer I read all the books except for the last one, Harry potter and the Deathly Hallows, but I will definitely read it next summer.


What I love about her the most, is her extraordinary mind and creativity to write such and amazing books, and her tenacity to never give up to her dream of becoming a writer.

One jumped out of the balcony and the other one got trapped under the washing machine. Since the loss of my turtles I didn't get any other pet. Actually, I stopped wanting any other pet. However, there was another person at my house who wanted a pet. My older brother Carlos. He kept insisting my parents to get a dog, but they never relent.  Nevertheless, when my brother got older enough and stared making his own money he got a dog. He told my mom it was just for a few days, but nowadays she's still the family's dog. Her name is Chocolate. Chocolate was born in Venezuela and when my brother moved to Chile we took care of her for at least a year, until I moved to Chile as well. To be able to bring her to Chile and because she was, and still is, too big to have her on the cabin, she had to travel with the luggage and had to endure the fligh...
