When Joanne K. Rowling published the first novel on Harry Potter, her life story pretty quickly attracted the attention of the world and media parallel as popular novel. She passed the way from an anonymous person, single mom who hardly survived, to an author of one of the world’s biggest best-sellers.
In 2011, the movie Magic Beyond Words: The J.K. Rowling Story" was made on the life and her business success. Unusual and unique life path of this British writer is reflected in the fact that an idea, which emerged in difficult life moments was sufficient for to become a world-famous writer with 400 million sold books on Harry Potter which is the best-selling series of books in history. Large commercial jump in July 2007, when in 24 hours, 8,3 mil books of "Harry Potter and death relics", brought her billions on her bank account and made her the only British women at Forbes list of rich. In the next five years, as of the publication of the first book about Harry Potter, the writer, who used to receive social support, earned the status of a multimillionaire.
Džoana K. Rowling was born in Yate, Gloucestershire, her father was a plane engineer and mother was a technician. When she was a kid, she was writing fantastic stories which she was reading only to her sister, However, as K. Rouling said, teenage period for her was very unhappy for a difficult illness of her mother and bad relations with father.
After she failed to enroll Oxford, Joanna studied at University
of Exeter were she graduated in 1986. For some time, she was married and lived
in Portugal where she was teaching English lessons for foreigners but after a
short marriage and a birth of a daughter, she returned to the United Kingdom. Receiving
social support, with teaching private lessons, she continued writing. She
worked as a researcher and a secretary for "Amnesty International" when she got
the idea of Harry Potter. It happened during a journey on a train from
Manchester to London 1990. In the next seven years, her mother died, she
divorced her first husband and suffered relative poverty. She described that
period in life as a big failure but a relieving and productive on since it made
her focus on writing. She found in that time of serious crisis and depression
and inspiration to describe magic and evil dark forces and writing served to
heal sorrow, as Joanne said.
Addressing both kids as target audience and grownups, lively descriptions and imaginative
story basis, she presented adventures of unexpected hero Harry Potter, a lonely
orphan who discovered he was actually a wizard and who applied at Hogwarts school
of wizardry and magic. This way, she unexpectedly and quickly won the audience.
The book won numerous awards, including "British Book Award".
