J.K. Rowling returns to the apartment where it all started.

🥰

Forget about Potter. Her dedication to defending women is far more significant and impactful. I truly admire and respect her for the work she does. It takes courage and commitment to advocate for such important causes, and her efforts make a real difference in the lives of many.

Forget Potter. Her work to defend women means so much more. I have a lot of respect for her.

“Some failure in life is inevitable. It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all—in which case, you fail by default.” —J.K. Rowling

Behind the scenes of filming Harry Potter.

The young Jo grew up surrounded by books. “I lived for books,’’ she has said. “I was your basic common-or-garden bookworm, complete with freckles and National Health spectacles.” J.K. Rowling Jo wanted to be a writer from an early age. She wrote her first book at the age of six – a story about a rabbit, called ‘Rabbit’. At just eleven, she wrote her first novel – about seven cursed diamonds and the people who owned them. Jo studied at Exeter University, where she read so widely outside her French and Classics syllabus that she clocked up a fine of £50 for overdue books at the University library. Her knowledge of Classics would one day come in handy for creating the spells in the Harry Potter series, some of which are based on Latin
