Joanne Kathleen Rowling (a.k.a. J. K. Rowling) had always wanted to be a writer. In fact, she never knew what else she wanted to do with her life. She wandered from job to job before she thought up Harry Potter and the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Since then she has gone on to publish six more books in the series and they have all been made into major motion pictures.

She readily admits that the most important thing to her is spending time with her husband and raising their children.
