The beloved author of the famed Harry Potter series of books was born in Gloucesthire, England on July 31, 1965.  Today, Rowling lives in Scotland with her husband, Neil Murray, and her three children.  While writing was an early ambition, her first attempts didn’t amount to much.  That all changed in 1997 when the world was introduced to Harry Potter and his friends.  Her books have sold more than 100 million copies and have been made into major motion pictures.  Success is not without rewards, and it has been written that Rowling is wealthier than the Queen of England.
