J. K Rowling was born in England in 1965. She loved reading， and wrote her first story Rabbit when she was only six years old. She studied French at university， then worked as a secretary in London. She had the idea for Harry Potter when she was on a train， “Harry just walked into my head，” she said later. She started writing the first Harry Potter book the next day.
In 1992 she went to live in Portugal for three years. She wrote Harry Potter in the morning， and worked as an English teacher in the afternoon and evening. She got married to a Portuguese TV journalist and had a daughter called Jessica.
Then she returned to Edinburgh， Scotland. She had no job at that time， and wrote in cafes because they were warmer than her small house. After five years she finished the first book Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone. The book sold millions of copies all over the world and J. K. Rowling became very famous. She is very rich now， but she still writes her books in cafes.
