After graduating from university, J.K. Rowling worked various jobs before finding success as a writer. She famously wrote the first “Harry Potter” book while living in Edinburgh, Scotland, where she moved to be closer to her sister. The “Harry Potter” series became one of the most successful books ever, and J.K. Rowling is now considered one of the world’s most influential and successful authors.

J.K. Rowling and Alan Rickman first met during the casting process for the “Harry Potter” film series. Rickman was cast as Severus Snape, and Rowling had written the character in the books. During the filming of the movies, Rowling and Rickman occasionally had conversations about the character and the story. Rickman deeply respected Rowling and her work and was known to have asked her for insight into Snape’s character to inform his portrayal better. After Rickman’s passing in 2016, Rowling paid tribute to him on social media, describing him as “a magnificent actor and a wonderful man.” She also revealed that she had shared information with Rickman about Snape’s character that had not yet been revealed in the books to help him better understand the role.

J.K. Rowling did not personally introduce Daniel Radcliffe to the “Harry Potter” film franchise. The film’s producers handled the casting of Radcliffe as Harry Potter, who conducted a worldwide search for the right actor to portray the iconic character. Radcliffe was ultimately chosen for the role based on his talent, suitability, and resemblance to the character described in the books. Despite not being personally involved in Radcliffe’s casting, J.K. Rowling has spoken highly of his portrayal of Harry Potter in the films, stating that she couldn’t imagine anyone else in the role. While J.K. Rowling did not personally introduce Daniel Radcliffe to the “Harry Potter” franchise, her books provided the film’s basis. They played a key role in shaping the character and world that Radcliffe would go on to inhabit on screen.

David Zaslav, the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, expressed a willingness to collaborate with J.K. Rowling on new content related to the franchise. He met Rowling in London to discuss her involvement in a Harry Potter TV series (Variety). “As Harry Potter’s popularity grew, Rowling’s power soared. Over time she exerted de facto control over the critical Warner asset, vetoing ideas, limiting its storytelling scope and issuing verdicts at biannual gatherings that Rowling referred to as “Ministry of Magic” meetings. Most direct facetime with Rowling came at more infrequent Ministry of Magic meetings, held in London and New York.” (WSJ)

J.K. Rowling met Emma Watson during the casting process for the “Harry Potter” film series. Watson auditioned for the role of Hermione Granger at 9, and Rowling was involved in the selection process for the film’s cast. Rowling and Watson likely met during one of Watson’s auditions or filming of the first “Harry Potter” movie. Since then, Rowling and Watson have maintained a close relationship, with Rowling publicly praising Watson’s work and advocacy for gender equality. They have also participated in various events and interviews to promote the “Harry Potter” franchise and discuss their careers.

J.K. Rowling met Johnny Depp when he was cast as Gellert Grindelwald in “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.” Rowling wrote the film’s screenplay and was involved in the casting process. Depp’s casting was controversial due to allegations of domestic abuse made against him by his ex-wife, Amber Heard. However, Rowling defended Depp’s casting in a statement, stating that she was “genuinely happy” to have him play the role and that she had considered the evidence before making her decision.

J.K. Rowling appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” for an interview in 2010. The interview was part of a promotional tour for releasing the final book in the “Harry Potter” series, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.” The interview was conducted at Rowling’s home in Scotland and covered various topics, including the “Harry Potter” franchise’s success, her writing process, and her personal life. The interview was widely watched and helped further cement Rowling’s status as one of her generation’s most successful and influential authors.

J.K. Rowling met Rupert Grint during the casting process for the “Harry Potter” film series. Grint had sent in a video of himself rapping about why he was the best candidate for the role of Ron Weasley, which caught the attention of the casting directors. Rowling was involved in the selection process for the cast and likely met Grint during one of his auditions or the filming of the first “Harry Potter” movie. Since then, Rowling and Grint have maintained a cordial relationship, with Rowling publicly praising Grint’s performance as Ron Weasley and his involvement in various charity projects. They have also participated in multiple events and interviews to promote the “Harry Potter” franchise and discuss their careers.

J.K. Rowling has used several pen names throughout her writing career. The most notable is the pseudonym “Robert Galbraith,” which she used for her crime fiction novels. Under the name Robert Galbraith, Rowling published the following books: “The Cuckoo’s Calling” (2013), “The Silkworm” (2014), “Career of Evil” (2015), “Lethal White” (2018), and “Troubled Blood” (2020). Rowling also used the pen name “Newt Scamander” for the book “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” originally published in 2001 as a companion to the “Harry Potter” series. In addition, Rowling used the pseudonym “Kenneth Branagh” for a short piece of writing that was included in a book celebrating the work of Shakespeare. She has also used the pen name “J.K. Rowling” in different ways, including publishing “The Casual Vacancy” under her full name and using the initials “J.K.” for the “Harry Potter” series.

During her appearance on “Who Do You Think You Are?” J.K. Rowling discovered that she had French roots and was descended from a 19th-century French woman who was the mistress of a British army officer. She also found that her great-grandfather was a Londoner who had worked as a waiter at the Savoy Hotel and that her great-great-grandfather had been an engineer who helped build the Forth Bridge in Scotland. Additionally, Rowling learned about the struggles and hardships that her ancestors had faced, including poverty and illness. In addition to the discoveries mentioned earlier, J.K. Rowling also discovered that one of her ancestors, Louis Volant, was a war hero who had fought for France during World War I. He was awarded the Legion d’Honneur for his bravery, and his story deeply moved Rowling. She also learned that another ancestor, a woman named Salomé Schuch, had survived the Holocaust and had been imprisoned in a concentration camp during World War II. Schuch’s survival and resilience in the face of such atrocities was an inspiring revelation for Rowling.

J.K. Rowling has multiple homes, but her primary residence is in Edinburgh, Scotland. She owns a historic Georgian townhouse in the city’s New Town neighborhood, which she purchased in 1999. Rowling also owns other properties in Scotland, including a sprawling estate in Perthshire called Killiechassie House, which she sold in 2012. She has also owned properties in London and the countryside of England, including a 17th-century estate in Tasmania called Woolmers Park, which she reportedly sold in 2011.

J.K. Rowling was born on July 31, 1965, in Yate, Gloucestershire, England. She grew up in Chepstow, Wales, and later attended the University of Exeter, where she studied French and Classics.

J.K. Rowling was born to parents Peter James Rowling and Anne Rowling (née Volant). She has one younger sister, Dianne. In 1992, Rowling married a Portuguese television journalist, Jorge Arantes, and they had one daughter named Jessica. The marriage ended in divorce in 1995, and Rowling moved to Edinburgh, Scotland, with her daughter to be closer to her sister. In 2001, Rowling married Neil Murray, a Scottish doctor. They have two children together: a son named David and a daughter named Mackenzie.

Robert Galbraith is a pseudonym used by J.K. Rowling, the author of the “Harry Potter” series. Rowling began using the Galbraith pseudonym in 2013 when she published her first crime fiction novel, “The Cuckoo’s Calling,” under that name. The Galbraith name was chosen as a tribute to Robert Galbraith Heath, a pioneering American psychiatrist who researched brain stimulation and its effects on behavior. Rowling has stated that she chose the pseudonym to allow her to write without the pressure and expectations of being a best-selling author. The Robert Galbraith name has since been used for several more crime fiction novels, including “The Silkworm,” “Career of Evil,” “Lethal White,” and “Troubled Blood.” The Galbraith books have received positive reviews and have been well-received by readers, with many critics praising the strength of the characters and the intricacy of the plots.
