Full Text:

” J.K. Rowling is a British author who first started to write in 1990. Her first career move was actually teaching English in Portugal, where she found inspiration for her future Harry Potter books. Eventually, she found her calling as a writer and decided to focus on finding a publisher. She signed her first contract as a professional writer in 1996, and a year later her first book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, was on the market. At this point, she decided to go by the name of J.K. instead of her actual name, Joanne. In her series of books, she gave life to the game of Quidditch, which in 2005 became an official worldwide sport. After immense fame, she had a go at writing for adults in 2012. In 2013, she broke into a new genre, crime fiction, with her book Cuckoo Calling. She wrote under the pseudonym of Robert Galbraith and received modest reviews. However, when the public discovered the real author, book sales skyrocketed! In 2016, she transitioned to a new form of entertainment: theatre. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was inaugurated in London to a sold-out audience. “
