Important things from your childhood, adolescence and adulthood

Childhood
Early life One of his maternal great-grandparents, Dugald Campbell, was Scottish and his mother's paternal
grandfather, Louis lolant, was French, and was awarded the Croix de Guerre for his outstanding bravery in
defending the village of Courcelles-le-Comte during the first World War. Her sister, Dianne, was born at home a
month before Joanne was 2 years old. The family moved to the nearby village of Winterbourne 2 years later.
Adolescence
Rowling has said that her teenage years were unhappy. His home life was complicated by his mother's illness:
multiple sclerosis, and a strained relationship with his father, with whom he did not speak. Sean Harris, her best
friend at the time, owned a turquoise Ford Anglia that she said inspired a flying version that would appear in her
book "Harly Potter and the Chamber of Secrets." Like many teenagers, he became interested in pop music, listened
to The Clash, Smiths, and Siouxsie Sioux and took on the latter's look: with hair slicked back and eyes painted in
black eyeliner; a look I would still have when I started college.
Adulthood
After several months of dating, they were married on October 16, 1992, and their daughter, Jessica Isabel Rowling
Arantes (named after Jessica Mitford), was born on July 27, 1993 in Portugal. Joanne had previously suffered a
miscarriage. The couple separated on November 17, 1993. Rowling's biographers have suggested that she suffered
domestic abuse during her marriage, although the scope is unknown.
Education
School
He attended St Michael's Primary School, a school founded by abolitionist William Wilberforce and
reformer Hannah More. Its director, Alfred Dunn, has also been suggested as the inspiration for the
director of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Albus Dumbledore. She attended high
school at Wyedean School and College, where her mother worked in the science department. Steve
Eddy, her first English teacher in high school, remembers her as "not exceptional, albeit from a bunch
of pretty good idiot girls."
University
In 1982 Joanne took the entrance exams to the University of Oxford, but she was not accepted and
went to the University of Exeter. Martin Sorrell, a French teacher in Exeter, remembers her as "a
discreetly competent student, in a denim jacket and dark hair, who, in academic terms, gave the
appearance of doing what was necessary." Rowling admits that she would rather read Dickens and
Tolkien than do their homework. After a year of study in Paris, Rowling graduated from Exeter in
1986. In 1988, she wrote a short essay about her time studying the classics entitled: "What was the
Name of that Nymph Again? Or Greek and Roman Studies Recalled"; It was published by Pegasus, the
journal of the University of Exeter.
Facts work
The writer won the Prince of Asturias Award for Concord in 2003. Fans of the Harry Potter series
are called PotterHeads. Rowling has written Tales of Beedle the Bard, Fantastic Beasts and Where to
Find Them, and Quidditch through the ages that complement the Harry Potter series.
Great achievements and novels

Rowling owes her fame and life to the Harry Potter series of novels, which in 1995 completed her first manuscript
for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on an old typewriter. This work was rejected by various publishers
until it finally gained approval from Bloomsbury, a small British publisher in London, where by June 1997 the publisher
published The Philosopher's Stone. Following the worldwide success of the books, Rowling received a series of national
awards and huge bonuses. Its follow-up, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, was published in July 1998; and
by December 1999, the third novel, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, won the Best Children's Book Award,
being the third time to obtain this title.

Why did you choose this?
I told her authorship that I like her books and movies too much and because I found that
she was the one I knew best because she was the one who had read me and all that and
that's why I also did it.
