J.K. Rowling’s journey to literary stardom began on a delayed train in 1990 when she conceived the idea for Harry Potter. The first book in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, was published in 1997 after facing multiple rejections. The series of seven books went on to become a global phenomenon, selling over 600 million copies worldwide and spawning a successful film franchise. Rowling’s impact on children’s literature has made her a major figure in modern popular culture. Beyond Harry Potter, she has written adult fiction under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith and continues to be involved in various philanthropic endeavours.
