J.K Rowling (1965 -) is an English author, screenwriter, producer and philanthropist.
Rowling is the creator of the Harry Potter series of children's novels, which to date has sold a record 400 million copies worldwide.
The seven best-selling books have since spawned a series of blockbuster Hollywood movies, video games, several theme park attractions, and an empire of merchandise worth an estimated $25 billion.

Aside from her literary career, Rowling has also been praised for her philanthropic work, and has raised tens of millions for good causes including Comic Relief and her own children's charity Lumos.
