As you know everybody knows the famous J.K Rowling who has written the awesome Harry Potter series. J.K ( Joanne Kathleen) Rowling was born in July 1965 at Yate General Hospital in England and grew up in Cheepstow,Gwent. J.K Rowling was inspired of the idea of the Hogwarts Express leaving from King's Cross Station( which is a real train station in London) when her train was delayed. If you have read the Harry Potter series there's a thunder bolt scar on his forehead, so why was it a scar on his forehead? Well because when J.K Rowling was young she and her sister got into BIG fights one day J.K Rowling through a battery at her sister and now there is a scar above her left eye. Their were lots of neighbors near J.K Rowling's there was a sister and a brother who's surname is "Potter", the brother's name was Harry and his mother told the press that Harry and J.K Rowling used to dress up as witches or wizards.
J.K Rowling started writing the H.P series during a delayed Manchester to London King's Cross train journey and during the next five years, outlined the plots and started on the first novel. After a few months J.K Rowling gave birth to a daughter named Jessica then Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone was published in June 1997.

Nice job on this JK Rowling posting, Branden. I appreciate the little piece you did on the origin of Harry's forehead scar...actually something that was part of the family. I can't imagine planning a series of books for 5 years when you haven't even written one.
