  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 loved stories about magical world best. Rowling wrote her first story Rabbit at the age of six.

  After she graduated from the university, Rowling worked as a translater in London. During that time，on a long train trip in the summer of 1990, the idea came to her of a boy who has magic power 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 is popular among 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 reasons. Many other magical stories take place in far away lands or in the past or the future. But Harry lives in modern England. He's also an ordinary(普通的)boy： polite，friendly，brave and clever. So when other children read about Harry，they can imagine that they're just like him.

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