J. K. Rowlingról kell írjak pár mondatban angolul, de a netten mind olyan bonyolult életrajzi leírásokat kapok róla. Tudnátok segíteni?

J K Rowling and her work

J K (Joanne Kathleen) Rowling was born in July 1965 at Yate General Hospital in England and grew up in Chepstow, Gwent where she went to Wyedean Comprehensive.

Jo left Chepstow for Exeter University, where she earned a French and Classics degree, her course including one year in Paris. As a postgraduate she moved to London and worked as a researcher at Amnesty International among other jobs. She started writing the Harry Potter series during a delayed Manchester to London King’s Cross train journey, and during the next five years, outlined the plots for each book and began writing the first novel.

Jo then moved to northern Portugal, where she taught English as a foreign language. She married in October 1992 and gave birth to a daughter Jessica in 1993. When the marriage ended, she and Jessica returned to the UK to live in Edinburgh, where Harry Potter & the Philosopher’s Stone was eventually completed.

Jo married Dr. Neil Murray in 2001, and a brother for Jessica, David, was born in 2003. A sister, Mackenzie, followed in 2005.

Remélem tudtam némi segítséget nyújtani. Rowlingról meg nem fogsz sokat találni amik nem rég történtek. Teljesen kizárta az életből a médiát. Esetlen a Times honlapján egy két szóba meg említik, de nem sok sok reményt.

Joanne "Jo" Rowling, OBE, FRSL [2] (born 31 July 1965),[3] better known as J. K. Rowling,[4] is a British novelist, best known as the author of the Harry Potter fantasy series. The Potter books have gained worldwide attention, won multiple awards, sold more than 400 million copies to become the best-selling book series in history[5] and been the basis for a popular series of films, in which Rowling had overall approval on the scripts[6] as well as maintaining creative control by serving as a producer on the final instalment.[7] Rowling conceived the idea for the series on a train trip from Manchester to London in 1990.[8]

Rowling has led a "rags to riches" life story, in which she progressed from living on social security to multi-millionaire status within five years. As of March 2011, when its latest world billionaires list was published, Forbes estimated Rowling's net worth to be US$1 billion.[9] The 2008 Sunday Times Rich List estimated Rowling's fortune at £560 million ($798 million), ranking her as the twelfth richest woman in the United Kingdom.[10] Forbes ranked Rowling as the forty-eighth most powerful celebrity of 2007,[11] and Time magazine named her as a runner-up for its 2007 Person of the Year, noting the social, moral, and political inspiration she has given her fans.[12] In October 2010, J. K. Rowling was named 'Most Influential Woman in Britain' by leading magazine editors.[13] She has become a notable philanthropist, supporting such charities as Comic Relief, One Parent Families, Multiple Sclerosis Society of Great Britain, and Lumos (formerly the Children's High Level Group).
