作者介紹
J.K. 羅琳( J.K. Rowling)
全世界最會說故事的魔法媽媽 J.K.羅琳1990年，24歲的羅琳，坐在前往倫敦的誤點火車上，『哈利波特』咻地闖進了她的生命。她彷彿看見了一個黑髮瘦弱、戴著眼鏡的小巫師在對她微笑。10年後，『哈利波特』成了風靡全球的童話人物。從小就喜歡寫作的羅琳，是個單親媽媽，因為找不到工作，只能靠著微薄的失業救濟金養活自已和女兒。為了逃離又小又冷的房間，她總是窩在住家附近的尼可森咖啡館裡寫作；因為沒錢點餐，所以每次只點上一杯卡布奇諾，一字一字的寫下『哈利波特』的故事。結果，《哈利波特》才一出版，便以驚人的魔力風靡全球，羅琳在一夕之間，就從不為人知的單親媽媽，一躍成為蜚聲國際的暢銷作家。《哈利波特》在全世界所掀起閱讀風潮，更被譽為『文學界的披頭四狂熱』。羅琳說，《哈利波特》是一本會帶給她快樂的書，顯然毫無疑問的，對讀者來說也是一樣。

Rowling‘s first novel, followed by Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, as well as three books written for charity and inspired by the Harry Potter novels: Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Quidditch Through the Ages and The Tales of Beedle the Bard.
