J．K．Rowling was born in Bristol in 1965 She has one sister who is two years younger than her．Both girls loved listening to their father reading bedtime stories to them．

They loved stories about the magical（有魔力的）world．Rowling wrote her first story，called Rabbit at the age of six．

After she graduated（毕业）from the university，Rowing worked in London．During that time，on a long train trip in the summer of 1990，the idea of a boy who has magic but doesn't know it came to her．In 1992，Rowling began to teach English．She lived with her daughter，Jessica，and spent much time finishing the first Harry Potter book for young readers．It came out in l997 To her surprise．the book was very successful．The film came out in 2001．Now the Harry Potter series is popular with people of all ages．

Why is the series so successful? Many other magical stories take place in faraway lands or in the past or future times．But Harry lives in modem England．He's also a very normal（正常的）boy．When other children read the story about Harry，they call imagine（想象）being like him．
