Harry Potter’s creator J.K. Rowling, born on
July 31, 1965, turns 53 today. Before becoming the first
writer-billionaire ever, she lived a hard life. She faced a lot of trouble and
her book, “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”, was rejected
by about 12 publishing houses. But things turned around after her first book
came out in 1997 and broke many
records.
The first book told the story of Harry Potter, who, on
his 11th birthday, learns he is a wizard and has been accepted to the Hogwarts
School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. His date of birth? July 31 — the same
birthday as the author who created him, J.K. Rowling. Harry was born in
1980, meaning he is now 38 years old.
