Harry Potter Rox 2002

J.K. ROWLING

J.K. Rowling ( Joanna Kathleen Rowling ) started writing really early as young as 12 years old or so. She used to write many short stories when she was small and she used to put many of her friends in them too. She used to think Hermione as herself ( Well, If Hermione turns out to be like JKR then in the books we might have some stories of Hermione ). Not good at math ? Well, don't worry nor was JKR , she once got a zero in math :-)

"Some of the Characters have been made up in The Harry Potter book" Says Rowling but many of them are on real-life people. Harry Like Ian Potter, JKR's Close Friend. Ron a boy she knew & Hermione as herself !

I think she gets way to much fan mail, so don't get your hopes high as if you're lucky then only she'll reply to you. Anyway, well maybe I'm right and maybe I'm wrong........

As a kid, J.K. Rowling told her first stories to her younger sister, Di. One of her earliest stories featured Di falling down a rabbit hole and getting fed strawberries by rabbits! Rowling's first written story was about a rabbit named Rabbit. He got measles and was visited by all his animal friends and then a very magical story occurred Like Harry and gang......

As you know Rowling loved to write b... Let's call them stories and even featured her friends in them and always ended these stories with " To be Continued" . Well, I think that's it for this page ! If you have anything you want to add please

The Hogwarts official motto is Drago Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus. It means, "Never tickle a sleeping dragon"! Hogwarts ia very wonderful and magical school were all the children under the age of 17 come to learn wizardry.

Kids under 11 can't attend Hogwarts.
If you're a magical child, Dumbledore will send you an invitation on your 11th birthday.
Do not speak the name of Voldemort as it's EVIL !
Some Muggles are crazy to ban Harry Potter Books !
Why not get your own Quiddtich team ?

Harry Potter's first book has a different title in Britain than it does in America. The author suggested that Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone be changed to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone to avoid confusion.

Want to know more about Harry's family? We'll learn about Harry's grandparents in future books. Rowling promised that important characters will someday die. Kids beg her not to kill Ron. Her answer, "No one's bothered about Hermione. Everyone thinks she'll be fine."

Steven Spielberg wanted to direct the Harry Potter movie but was unhappy because he couldn't cast Haley Joel Osment (Sixth Sense) as the hero. Rowling wants a British boy. Moviemakers wanted to change Hermione's name to Bailey, as well as add cheerleaders and a girl friend for Harry in the movie. Rowling said no to these changes. Rowling says she'll write an official "companion" book to the Harry Potter series when the Harry Potter movie arrives in theaters next year. Hermoine is based on the author herself. "I think I was really annoying when I was 11," Rowling says. "I loosened up though, as I got older - a lot." Wizards have to learn magic when they're young. Older people can only cast their first spells under special circumstances. Most wizards are afraid to speak the name of evil Lord Voldemort. Maybe it's because, in French, vol de mort can mean the theft of a dead body! (Hey then why'd I write that ?)

Harry Potter was born on July 31, 1980. He turned 13 before receiving his first birthday card! The highest award any witch or wizard can receive is the Order of Merlin, First Class. Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore is famous for, among other reasons, discovering the 12 uses of dragon's blood. One of them is oven cleaning, but the rest are secret- so far!

The ending of Harry's new book is so frightening that Rowling said she once had to stop writing because she was getting so scared. A school in McLean, Virginia has started its own Quidditch team. Could this be the start of a new worldwide sport? Mattel, the company that makes Barbie and Hot Wheels, will be making Harry Potter toys which are out already. Bloomsbury, the company which publishes Harry Potter in Britain, make two covers for the Harry Potter books: one for kids and one for adults.

Harry's not the only kid with a lightning bolt on his forehead. Bookstores gave out over half-a-million tattoos of the purple scar when they first sold "Prisoner of Azkaban" Rowling hasn't yet written the seventh and final Harry Potter book, but she's already written the last paragraph "The last"
