Joanne Rowling

Joanne „Jo“ Rowlingová je britská spisovateľka, scenáristka a filmová producentka. Preslávila ju knižná séria o Harrym Potterovi, a taktiež séria Fantastické zvery. Vo februári 2004 časopis Forbes odhadol jej majetok na 576 miliónov libier, čo ju radí medzi dolárových miliardárov ako vôbec prvého spisovateľa.

Vyštudovala francúštinu a literatúru na Universtiy of Exeter, neskôr pracovala ako bilingválna sekretárka pre Amnesty International. V tomto období vraj dostala nápad napísať príbeh o chlapcovi navštevujúcom čarodejnícku školu.

Žila s rodinou v Porte v Portugalsku, ale svoj prvý román o Harrym Potterovi dokončila v Edinbrughu, kde sa presťahovala za sestrou, v čase keď bola nezamestnaná a žila na podpore. Povráva sa, že román Harry Potter a kameň mudrcovu - 1. diel z príbehov o čarodejníkovi Harrym - napísala v edinburghskej kaviarni. 

Dodnes bolo vydaných 7 dielov Harryho Pottera a ôsmym pokračovaním je prepis divadelnej hry o Harrym.
