Rowling\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the enduringly popular Harry Potter books. After the idea for Harry Potter came to her on a delayed train journey in 1990, she plotted out and started writing the series of seven books and the first, \u003ci\u003eHarry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone\u003c\/i\u003e, was published in the UK in 1997. The series took another ten years to complete, concluding in 2007 with the publication of \u003ci\u003eHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows\u003c\/i\u003e. The Harry Potter books have now sold over 600 million copies in 85 languages, been listened to as audiobooks for over one billion hours and made into eight smash hit movies.

Harry's story as a grown-up was continued in a stage play,\u003ci\u003e Harry Potter and the Cursed Child\u003c\/i\u003e, which J.K. Rowling wrote with playwright Jack Thorne and director John Tiffany, and which is now playing in locations around the world.
