Joanne Rowling Bibliography

Joanne Rowling, often referred to as J.K. Rowling, greatly influences the art of literature and filmmaking to this day. Her books, the Harry Potter series, continue to baffle anyone willing to pick up the books. Even as a girl in primary school, at the small school St Michael’s Church of England School, the love of writing burned bright in the heart of Miss Rowling. From a young age, she utilized her talent for storytelling; she took a specific interest in witchcraft and wizardry when realizing her tales in acts of role playing and dress-up games. These influences as a young child poured into her amazing works as an adult. After marriage, birth, and separation, Joanne seized the sudden opportunity to write for a living, her childhood dream. With a sleeping child in a stroller by her side in a coffee shop, Joanne wrote the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
