South Wales at the age of nine.
She studied at St Michael’s Primary School in Gloucestershire, before moving to
Chepstow, South Wales at the age of nine.
From an early age, JK. Rowling had an ambition to be a writer. She often tried her hand at
writing, although little came from her early efforts. Aged six she wrote a book about a
rabbit with measles. After her mother praised her effort, Rowling replied ‘well get it
published then.’ She admits it was a ‘Bit of an odd thing for a child of six to think. I don’t
know where it came from…”

thrown out of the house.
On the 21st December 2006, she finished her final book of the Harry Potter Series – “Harry
Potter and the Deathly Hallows“. The book was released in July 2007, becoming one of the
fastest selling books of all time. Rowling has said the book is her favourite, and it makes
her both happy and sad. She has said she will continue writing but there is little chance of
continuing the Harry Potter Series. She however, may release a dictionary of things
related to Hogwarts and Harry Potter that were never published in other books.

Neil Murray; and has 3 children, two with husband Neil.3
