Contributor Bio
J.K. Rowling is best known as the author of the seven Harry Potter books, which
were first published between 1997 and 2007. The enduringly popular adventures of
Harry, Ron, and Hermione have sold over 500 million copies, been translated into over
80 languages, and made into eight blockbuster films, the last of which was released
in 2011. Alongside the Harry Potter series, she also wrote three short companion
volumes -- Quidditch Through the Ages, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,
and The Tales of Beedle the Bard -- which were published in aid of Comic Relief and
Lumos. In 2016, J.K. Rowling collaborated with playwright Jack Thorne and director
John Tiffany to resume Harry’s story in a stage play, Harry Potter and the Cursed
Child, which opened first in London, and is now playing on Broadway and in
Melbourne, Australia. In the same year, she made her debut as a screenwriter with
the film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which was inspired by the original
companion volume and features magizoologist Newt Scamander. Her second
screenplay, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, was released in cinemas in
2018. J.K. Rowling has also written a stand-alone novel for adults, The Casual
Vacancy, and, under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, is the author of the Strike
crime series. She lives in Scotland with her family, and is at her happiest alone in a
room, making things up.
