The richest woman in the UK is now Joanne Kathleen Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter books. But life hasn't always been easy for her.

She was born on 31st July 1965 and started writing at the early age of six. At school she was very quiet and didn't like sport much. Her favourite subjects were English and Modern Languages. After school she studied French at Exeter University and she later became a bilingual secretary. She didn't enjoy her life as a secretary and when she was 26 she left the UK to teach English in Portugal. She met and married a journalist and their daughter, Jessica, was bom in 1993. The marriage ended in divorce and Ms Rowling moved to Edinburgh, Scotland. It was during this period that she started her first Harry Potter novel, which she wrote in a cafe while her daughter was asleep.

She published Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 1997 and in the same year she won one of the most important book awards in Britain. Since then millions of people have read her books in many different languages, and millions have seen the Harry Potter films. Everybody knows who she is and everybody has heard of the famous character she has created. Harry Potter is possibly the most famous boy in the world.
