J. K. Rowling Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
The novels have got world-wide interest, won multiple awards, and sold more than 400 million copies. They’ve become the best selling book series ever and been the basis for a number of movies which became the highest-grossing film series ever. Rowling had complete acceptance on the scripts and maintained creative control by functioning as a producer on the last installment.
The seven-year period that followed saw the passing of her mom, divorce from her first husband and comparative poverty until Rowling completed the first novel in the series, “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” in 1997. There were six sequels, the last, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” in 2007.
Rowling has led a “rags to riches” life story, where she advanced from living on state benefits to multimillionaire standing within five years. She’s the Uk ‘s best selling living author, with sales in excess of 238m. The 2008 “Sunday Times Rich List” estimated Rowling’s bundle at 560million, ranking her as the twelfth most affluent girl in the UK. “Forbes” rated Rowling as the forty eighth most powerful star of 2007, and “Time” magazine named her as a runner up for its 2007 Man of the Year, noting the societal, moral, and political inspiration she’s given her devotees. In October 2010, Rowling was named the “Most Powerful Woman in Britain” by top magazine editors.

| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | [C S Lewis] There comes a point where Susan, who was the older girl, is lost to Narnia because she becomes interested in lipstick. She's become irreligious basically because she found sex. I have a big problem with that. |
| 2 | We don't need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already! |
| 3 | Love as powerful as your mother's for you leaves its mark. To have been loved so deeply will give us some protection forever. |
| 4 | Rock bottom became the solid foundation upon which I rebuilt my life. |
| 5 | [on making a $1.68-million donation for the campaign against the Scottish Independence movement] The more I listen to the 'yes' campaign, the more I worry about its minimization and even denial of risks. This separation will not be quick and clean. It will take microsurgery to disentangle three centuries of close interdependence. I just hope with all my heart that we never have cause to look back and feel we made a historically bad mistake. |
| 6 | [At the premiere at the last Harry Potter movie (2011)] Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home. |
| 7 | Why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me. I was set free, because my greatest fear had been realized, and I was still alive, and I still had a daughter whom I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so Rock bottom became a solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life. It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you've lived so cautiously, that you might as well not have lived at all. |
| 8 | I would like to be remembered as someone who did the best she could with the talent she had. |
| 9 | [About being held up at an airport for refusing to be parted from the manuscript of her seventh "Harry Potter" book]: The heightened security restrictions on the airlines made the journey back from New York interesting, as I refused to be parted from the manuscript of book seven. A large part of it is handwritten and there was no copy of anything I had done while in the U.S. They let me take it on thankfully, bound up in elastic bands. I don't know what I would have done if they hadn't -- sailed home probably. |
| 10 | [Family Circle, 4-1-06]: Anything's possible if you've got enough nerve. |
| 11 | People ask me if there are going to be stories of Harry Potter as an adult. Frankly, if I wanted to, I could keep writing stories until Harry is a senior citizen, but I don't know how many people would actually want to read about a 65 year old Harry still at Hogwarts playing bingo with Ron and Hermione. |
| 12 | [When asked what the title would be for book six]: It will be called 'Harry Potter and...' something. Catchy, don't you think? And I think I'll follow the same model for seven. |
| 13 | The spells are made up. I have met people who assure me, very seriously, that they are trying to do them, and I can assure them, just as seriously, that they don't work. |
| 14 | I gave my hero a talent I'd love to have. Who wouldn't want to fly? |
| 15 | I had an American journalist say to me, "Is it true you wrote the whole of the first novel on napkins?" I was tempted to say, "On teabags, I used to save them." |
| 16 | Bigotry is probably the thing I detest most. |
| 17 | [Discussing her daughter, Jessica]: Kids at her school will sidle up to me and say, "Does Jessica know what happens in book 4? Does Jessica know the title of book 4?" And I keep saying, "No! There is no point kidnapping her, taking her around back of the bike shed, and torturing her for information." |
| 18 | [Asked by an interviewer about the next "Harry Potter" book]: Well, it will be a papery object with pages inside. |
| # | Fact |
|---|---|
| 1 | When Chris Columbus scripted Young Sherlock Holmes (1985), Watson believed Holmes obsessed over a case, even at Christmas because unlike other boys his age, he had no family to go home to, like Harry Potter and Kevin McCallister and Columbus has ties to the Harry Potter and Home Alone franchises. |
| 2 | Her novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is known as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the US. |
| 3 | Casting an actor to play Harry Potter was the biggest challenge; they saw 5000 auditions and none of them felt right. Director Chris Columbus saw Daniel Radcliffe in David Copperfield (1999) and showed it to the casting director and said Radcliffe was the one and that he was amazing. But she said they wouldn't get him because his parents want him to focus on his schoolwork and not acting, as well as all the attention he'd get. So they interviewed Harry Potter's of different nationalities all over the world and still hadn't found him. She got frustrated with Columbus because he had his heart set on Radcliffe. By sheer coincidence, the producer and screenwriter of Philisopher's Stone went the theatre and in the front row was Radcliffe with his father, so they talked and slowly persuaded him to cast Radcliffe. |
| 4 | The film Young Sherlock Holmes (1985) has many similarities to Rowling's Harry Potter series; the teenage Watson resembles Harry Potter; school experiments; Holmes has a rivalry with another student, Dudley very much like Harry's with Draco Malfoy; Dudley and Malfoy both come from rich parents; cavernous libraries, sweets; train stations; Holmes's novelization uses the word potty/Potter; students being injured and needing to see the school nurse; teachers and students eating in the Great Hall; Holmes and Watson solving mysteries while at school and Harry, Ron and Hermione doing the same at Hogwarts; staircases; Harry/Holmes and Watson creeping through a school library at night; both Watson and Hagrid say "sorry about that"; the end of school term; the threat of expulsion; no family for Harry to return to, even at Christmas; Harry has a scar on his forehead while Holmes has one on his cheek; seemingly innocent teaching staff exposed as the opposite; head boys, etc. |
| 5 | In 2005 Rowling co-founded LUMOS, the Children's High Level Group (CHLG) charity foundation with Baroness Emma Nicholson MEP. |
| 6 | Based the character of Gilderoy Lockhart on someone she knew and admits that she actually had to tone down his personality to make it more believable. |
| 7 | Was inspired to create the character of Hagrid after overhearing a muscular biker worry that the petunias he cared for weren't doing very well. |
| 8 | Working on a new book aimed at younger readers. [December 2005] |
| 9 | Her third child was born on January 23, 2005 in Edinburgh. [2005] |
| 10 | Preparing for the release of her latest and last book in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows [May 2007] |
| 11 | Announced that she is "considering" writing another Harry Potter book. [October 2010] |
| 12 | Currently at work on the final installment of the "Harry Potter" series. It should be released sometime in 2007. [November 2005] |
| 13 | Currently putting the finishing touches on "Harry Potter and the Half- Blood Prince", the sixth book in the series. It will get a worldwide release at midnight on July 16th, 2005. [July 2004] |
| 14 | Announced she is expecting 3rd child next year. [July 2004] |
| 15 | Wrote and released "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince", the sixth installment of the Harry Potter series. [July 2005] |
| 16 | Working on the last two books of her popular worldwide masterpiece, "Harry Potter". [2004] |
| 17 | She secretly published a crime novel, "The Cuckoo's Calling", under the pseudonym of "first-time author" Robert Galbraith, so it would be given unbiased reviews that were independent of her reputation as author of the Harry Potter books and "The Casual Vacancy". |
| 18 | Gave birth to her 3rd child at age 39, a daughter Mackenzie Jean Rowling-Murray on January 23, 2005. Child's father is her 2nd husband, Neil Murray. |
| 19 | Gave birth to her 2nd child at age 37, a son David Gordon Rowling-Murray on March 24, 2003. Child's father is her 2nd husband, Neil Murray. |
| 20 | Gave birth to her 1st child at age 27, a daughter Jessica Isabel Rowling-Arantes on July 27, 1993. Child's father is her 1st husband, Jorge Arantes. |
| 21 | Severus Snape is believed to have been based on John Lawrence Nettleship, a Chemistry teacher at Wyedean School in Gloucestershire. Rowling and her mother were both students of his. |
| 22 | Mother Anne died of multiple sclerosis before ever having had the opportunity to enjoy the monumental success of daughter Joanne's Harry Potter books and movies. In honor of her memory and the circumstances of her death, Joanne contributed £10m to the "Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic" at Edinburgh University, Scotland. |
| 23 | With earnings of £560m, Rowling ranked #148 of the 1,000 richest people in the UK's The Sunday Times "Rich List" annual magazine supplement (2012). |
| 24 | Director David Yates and writer Steve Kloves have both worked on adaptations of her Harry Potter books; working together on Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010), and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011). Their collaboration has been so fruitful that their next project together is The Stand. This will be based on the novel by Stephen King, who is one of Rowling's biggest American fans. |
| 25 | (November 11, 2010) During the course of a brief interview in London's West End just prior to the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 (2010), she revealed that, of all the film adaptations of her books, this was her all-time and personal favorite. |
| 26 | Stephen King reviewed all of her books for the New York Times Review of Books. |
| 27 | Her Harry Potter books have appealed to both children and adults. To help attract both audiences, her British hardcover publisher actually releases each of the books with two different dust jackets. One features a realistic picture or photograph of an element of the story, designed to appeal to adults. The other features a comic-book like illustration of a scene from the story, designed to appeal to children. |
| 28 | The 2009 Sunday Times List estimated her net worth at $817 million. |
| 29 | It should not be surprising that Stephen King is one of her biggest fans. Not only are they both best-selling authors of supernatural stories, they were also both schoolteachers before becoming successful writers. |
| 30 | To date (Summer 2011), she is the best-selling author in the history of literature. She is the first author to become a billionaire from writing books. |
| 31 | In the special double issue of Time magazine (Dec. 31, 2007), she was a runner-up at #3 as "Person of the Year" after political leaders Vladimir Putin #1 and Al Gore #2. |
| 32 | Ranked #9 in the 2008 Forbes The Celebrity 100 list. |
| 33 | Ranked #14 in the 2008 Telegraph's list "the 100 most powerful people in British culture". |
| 34 | Her hero is Robert F. Kennedy. |
| 35 | In 2007, Forbes Magazine estimated her earnings for the year to be $32 million. |
| 36 | Was #2 on the 'Celebrity Forbes List: Who Made Bank?' of 2006, making her the second richest woman behind Oprah Winfrey. |
| 37 | Is the first author billionaire, according to Forbes magazine, 2006. |
| 38 | Based Hermione on herself. |
| 39 | Like her hero, she now lives in a castle. |
| 40 | Is an avid train buff. |
| 41 | Finished writing the final book in the fantasy franchise three weeks ago - and marked the occasion by leaving graffiti in a Scottish hotel. Eagle-eyed guests at the five-star Balmoral Hotel spotted a line from the best-selling author scrawled in black pen on the back of a marble bust in a room Rowling occupied. She wrote, "J.K. Rowling finished writing Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows in this room (652) on Jan 11th 2007." |
| 42 | December 21, 2006: Announced that the last "Harry Potter" book will be titled "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". |
| 43 | Was almost barred from boarding a plane from the U.S. to the U.K. when airport security personnel demanded that her manuscript for her final book be screened or placed in her checked luggage. Rowling refused to give up the manuscript, which was bound with rubber bands. |
| 44 | Owns two properties in the Perthshire and Edinburgh areas of Scotland. In 2003, she hired a former SAS officer as her bodyguard to patrol her Perth home and protect her family. |
| 45 | Claims her first audience for "Harry Potter" was her daughter, to whom she would read parts of the story that she wrote as a bedtime story. |
| 46 | Although she incorporates characteristics of people she knows into "Harry Potter" characters, she says that the character "Gilderoy Lockhart" is the only character she purposely based on someone she knew. She would not say who she based the character on, only that it was not her ex-husband, and that whoever it was is probably so ignorant and so narcissistic, that he is probably claiming either to be the basis for "Albus Dumbledore", or the real author of the "Harry Potter" books. |
| 47 | Originally wrote "Harry Potter" to pay off her gas bills while living in a tiny flat with her baby daughter. |
| 48 | The day she signed her contract for the first "Harry Potter" novel, the publishing representative told her she would not make any money selling children's books. |
| 49 | After spending six years writing the first installment of her "Harry Potter" novels, Rowling was rejected by 9 publishers before London's Bloomsbury Publishing signed her on. |
| 50 | Whilst at University she had little money so, for friends' birthdays, she wrote them personal little stories. |
| 51 | Character names in her books are often clues to their identities or secrets. For example, Professor Remus Lupin is a werewolf. According to myth, Romulus and Remus were the founders of Rome and were raised by wolves. His last name, Lupin, is derived from the Latin lupus, for wolf, and the English adjective lupine, meaning wolf-like. Lupin was converted into a werewolf by Fenrir Greyback, whose name is taken from Fenrir, the monstrous wolf son of Loki in Norse mythology. (His alias, Fenrisulfr, was the basis for Fenris Ulf, the American name for Maugrim in C.S. Lewis's "Chronciles of Narnia".) Sirius Black, who turns into a black dog, is named for the star Sirius, which can be found in the constellation Canis Major - the big dog. |
| 52 | On July 7, 2004, she received an honorary degree from Edinburgh University, in recognition of the Potter books and her outstanding contribution to children's literature. |
| 53 | One of her favorite movies is The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989), which was written and directed by "Harry Potter" screenwriter Steve Kloves. |
| 54 | Is a huge fan of "Monty Python" and claims to put some of their humor into her books. Two apparent references to the "Monty Python" sketch "Crunchy Frog" can be found in her "Harry Potter" books: two of the sweets are a chocolate frog, and a cockroach cluster. "Monty Python" member John Cleese appears in the films. |
| 55 | She is a big fan of the rock band The Smiths and in 2003, she appeared on the Channel Four documentary The Importance of Being Morrissey (2002). |
| 56 | In 2003 unauthorized Chinese-language "sequels" to the "Harry Potter" series appeared for sale in the People's Republic of China. These poorly-written books, by Chinese ghost writers, contain characters from the works of other authors, including Gandalf from J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" and the title character from L. Frank Baum's "The Wizard of Oz". Rowling's lawyers successfully took legal action against the publishers, who were forced to pay damages. |
| 57 | The fifth book in the Harry Potter series, entitled "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", was published on June 21 2003. It was approximately 896 pages long, containing 38 chapters and over 255,000 words, making it her longest "Harry Potter" book yet. The first U.S. printing was 8.5 million copies, an American publishing record. |
| 58 | On 3 April 2003, she and Time Warner successfully sued Dutch publishing company Byblos in the Amsterdam High Court. This prevented Byblos from publishing Russian author Dmitry Yemets' novel "The Magic Double Bass", which features girl wizard "Tanya Grotter". It was deemed to plagiarize Rowling's novel "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and to infringe upon her copyright. |
| 59 | As of November 2002, the year and month of the second "Harry Potter" movie (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)) being released, her franchise of books have currently sold over 175,000,000 copies and printed in over 200 languages to become the biggest and fastest selling novels ever. |
| 60 | Is one of only two contemporary authors to have a novel spend more than a year on both the New York Times hardcover and paperback best-seller lists, the other author being Nicholas Sparks. |
| 61 | In 2002, she was sued for plagiarism in the District Court of the Southern District of New York by Pennsylvania-based author Nancy Stouffer, who claimed that J.K. Rowling had lifted ideas from her 1984 book "The Legend of Rah and Muggles", which includes a character called "Larry Potter". However, the case against J.K. Rowling was dismissed on 19 September 2002, when the judged ruled that Ms. Stouffer had lied to the court and doctored evidence to support her claims. |
| 62 | She was awarded the O.B.E. (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) in the 2000 Queen Elizabeth II's Birthday Honors List for her services to literature and received it from one of her fans, Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales. |
| 63 | When the first "Harry Potter" novel was published, the publisher asked her to use initials rather than her first name, because boys would be biased against a book written by a woman. Since she only had one given name, they then asked her to make up another initial; she took "K." from her favorite grandmother, Kathleen. |
| 64 | Her book, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", was the top-selling book of 2000, with 7 million hardcovers sold. |
| 65 | She writes all of her books in longhand, rather than with a computer. |
| 66 | Is a former English teacher. |
| 67 | Graduated from Exeter University. |
