作者简介第1页共3页1991年,乔安妮·凯瑟琳·罗琳 Joanne Kathleen Rowling 在从伦敦去曼彻斯特的火车上看到窗外一个戴眼镜的小男巫朝她微并挥手时,萌生了进行魔幻题材写作的想法。

关于JK和哈利波特《哈利·波特》作者JK罗琳本人的故事令人称奇。

1965年出生的她,六岁就酷爱写作。

1990年,她乘火车从曼城到伦敦途中,一个人物形象浮现在脑海里,这是一个黑发青涩的男孩,戴着一副大眼镜。

这个形象让她激动不已。

彼时,JKR的母亲去世,她能深切体会到孤儿的心灵之痛,她决定写出来。

但是当时写作的动力并不足。

1992年10月,她跟一个葡萄牙人结婚,一年以后闪电分居,生下了一个女儿。

她成为单亲妈妈,靠政府救济为生,并且被诊断出抑郁症,人生跌入低谷。

此时,唯一能拯救她的就是写作了。

罗琳2008年在哈佛大学的演讲中,披露这一段人生感受:“失败意味着扫除不紧要的东西。

我停止伪装,回归本真,聚集能量,完成对我重要的作品。

恐惧已经释放,我自由了,我还活着,我有爱女,还有一台老式打字机和一个伟大的想法。

降到谷底让我从头构建我的人生。

”罗琳所说有多少是真的,颇令人生疑。

人总是习惯用简单的因果关系去解释生活,成功了之后,任何意见小事就往励志的方向引。

也许,罗琳当时的人生选择本来就是盲目的,闲着也是闲着,写作就跟现在上网刷微博一样,打发时间罢了。

1995年,《哈利·波特与魔法石》手稿问世,在被12家出版社拒之门外后,Bloomsbury 出版社买走了它,不过只预支了1500英镑稿费,这钱不足以养家,经纪人建议罗琳出去找个工作补贴家用,1997年,苏格兰艺术协会赞助了她8000英镑。

她经常带女儿到咖啡馆写书,因为在那里,宝宝睡得快。

1998年是罗琳时来运转的一年,她处女作的版权在美国拍卖,得到了10.5万美元的报酬,她说当时激动得“差点死去”。

此后,她以每1~2年一部的速度出版,并且出版时间都选在六七月份,学校放暑假的时候。

哈利·波特到后来,调子越来越黑暗,我记得梵蒂冈教廷曾经就此发表过警告。

罗琳其实告诉世人,姐写的不是儿童文学,姐写的是死亡。

她之所以从不吝于提起死亡,是因为死亡是一种无法改变的东西。

花名:同学有时奚落她叫「Rolling Pin(擀面杖)」和「Rolling Stone(滚石)」。

罗琳自己说她小时候是个戴眼镜的脸上帄帄的女孩,非常爱学习,有点害羞、流着鼻涕、还比较野。

童年的时候,她有过两次迁家的经历。

罗琳毕业于英国艾希特大学(Exeter University ),学习法语和古典文学,获文学学士学位。

最近,获母校授予博士学位。

毕业后曾在英国曼彻斯特接受教学培训。

作为一个单身母亲,罗琳母女的生活极其艰辛。

她的第一本书《哈利波特-神秘的魔法石》前后共写了5年,这期间,她从葡萄牙回到了爱丁堡。

罗琳因为自家的屋子又小又冷,时常到住家附近的一家咖啡馆里,据罗琳说,她喜欢咖啡馆的氛围。

她将女儿放在桌边的婴儿车上,就在女儿的吵闹声里写作把哈利·波特的故事写在小纸片上。

下面是小编给大家整理的jkrowling英文个人简介,供大家参阅!jkrowling英文个人简介Joanne Jo Rowling, OBE, FRSL (/rol/; born 31 July 1965), pen names J. K. Rowling and Robert Galbraith, is a British novelist, screenwriter and film producer best known as the author of the Harry Potter fantasy series. The books have gained worldwide attention, won multiple awards, and sold more than 400 million copies.They have become the best-selling book series in history and been the basis for a series of films over which Rowling had overall approval on the scriptsand maintained creative control by serving as a producer on the final instalment.Born in Yate, Gloucestershire, England, Rowling was working as a researcher and bilingual secretary for Amnesty International when she conceived the idea for the Harry Potter series while on a delayed train from Manchester to London in 1990. The seven-year period that followed saw the death of her mother, birth of her first child, divorce from her first husband and relative poverty until she finished the first novelin the series, Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone, in 1997. There were six sequels, the last, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, in 2007. Since then, Rowling has written four books for adult readers: The Casual Vacancy (2012) andunder the pseudonym Robert Galbraiththe crime fiction novels The Cuckoos Calling (2013), The Silkworm (2014) and Career of Evil (2015).Rowling has lived a rags to riches life story, in which she progressed from living on state benefits to multi-millionaire status within five years. She is the United Kingdoms best-selling living author, with sales in excess of 238M.The 2016 Sunday Times Rich List estimated Rowlings fortune at 600 million, ranking her as the joint 197th richest person in the UK.

She has supported charities including Comic Relief, One Parent Families, Multiple Sclerosis Society of Great Britain and Lumos (formerly the Childrens High Level Group).jkrowling英文个人简介:Name Although she writesunder the pen name J. K. Rowling (pronounced rolling), her name, before her remarriage, was simply Joanne Rowling. Anticipating that the target audience of young boys might not want to read a book written by a woman, her publishers asked that she use two initials rather than her full name. As she had no middle name, she chose K (for Kathleen) as the second initial of her pen name, from her paternal grandmother.She calls herself Jo.Following her marriage, she has sometimes used the name Joanne Murray when conducting personal business. During the Leveson Inquiryshe gave evidence under the name of Joanne Kathleen Rowlingand her entry in Whos Who lists her name also as Joanne Kathleen Rowling.jkrowling英文个人简介:Life and career Rowling was born to Peter James Rowling, a Rolls-Royce aircraft engineer,and Anne Rowling (ne Volant), a science technician,on 31 July 1965in Yate, Gloucestershire, England, 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Bristol.Her parents first met on a train departing from Kings Cross Station bound for Arbroath in 1964.They married on 14 March 1965. One of her maternal great-grandfathers, Dugald Campbell, was Scottish, born in Lamlash on the Isle of Arran.Her mothers paternal grandfather, Louis Volant, was French, and was awarded the Croix deGuerre for exceptional bravery in defending the village of Courcelles-le-Comte during the First World War. Rowling originally believed he had won the Lgion dhonneur during the war, as she said when she received it herself in 2009. She later discovered the truth when featured in an episode of the UK genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are?, in which she found out it was a different Louis Volant who won the Legion of Honour. When she heard his story of bravery and discovered the croix de guerre was for ordinary soldiers like her grandfather, who had been a waiter, she stated the croix de guerre was better to her than the Legion of Honour.ChildhoodRowlings sister Diannewas born at their home when Rowling was 23 months old.The family moved to the nearby villageWinterbourne when Rowling was four.She attended St Michaels Primary School, a school founded by abolitionist William Wilberforce and education reformer Hannah More. Her headmaster at St Michaels, Alfred Dunn, has been suggested as the inspiration for the Harry Potter headmaster Albus Dumbledore.Rowlings childhood home, Church Cottage, Tutshill, GloucestershireAs a child, Rowling often wrote fantasy storieswhich she frequently read to her sister.Aged nine, Rowling moved to Church Cottage in the Gloucestershire village ofTutshill, close to Chepstow, Wales.She attended secondary school at Wyedean School and College, where her mother worked in the science department.When she was a young teenager, her great-aunt gave her a copy of Jessica Mitfords autobiography, Hons and Rebels. Mitford became Rowlings heroine, and Rowling read all of her books.Rowling has said that her teenage years were unhappy.Her home life was complicated by her mothers illness and a strained relationship with her father, with whom she is not on speaking terms. Rowling later said that she based the character of Hermione Granger on herself when she was eleven.Steve Eddy, who taught Rowling English when she first arrived, remembers her as not exceptional but one of a group of girls who were bright, and quite good at English.Sean Harris, her best friend in the Upper Sixth, owned a turquoise Ford Anglia which she says inspired a flying version that appeared in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.At this time, she listened to the Smiths and the Clash.Rowling took A-levels in English, French and German, achieving two As and a Band was Head Girl.EducationIn 1982, Rowling took the entrance exams for Oxford University but was not accepted and read for a B.A. in French and Classics at the University of Exeter.Martin Sorrell, a French professor at Exeter, remembers a quietly competent student, with a denim jacket and dark hair, who, in academic terms, gave the appearance of doing what was necessary.Rowling recalls doing little work, preferring to listen to The Smiths and read Dickens andTolkien.After a year of study in Paris, Rowling graduated from Exeter in 1986and moved to London to work as a researcher and bilingual secretary for Amnesty International.In 1988, Rowling wrote a short essay about her time studying Classics entitled What was the Name of that Nymph Again? or Greek and Roman Studies Recalled; it was published by the University of Exeters journal Pegasus.Inspiration and mothers deathAfter working at Amnesty International in London, Rowling and her then boyfriend decided to move to Manchester, where she worked at the Chamber of Commerce. In 1990, while she was on a four-hour-delayed train trip from Manchester to London, the idea for a story of a young boy attending a school of wizardry came fully formed into hermind.When she had reached her Clapham Junction flat, she began to write immediately.In December, Rowlings mother Anne died after ten years suffering from multiple sclerosis. Rowling was writing Harry Potter at the time and had never told her mother about it.Her mothers death heavily affected Rowlings writing,and she channelled her own feelings of loss by writing about Harrys own feelings of loss in greater detail in the first book.Marriage, divorce, and single parenthood Rowling moved to Porto to teach. In 1993, she returned to the UK accompanied by her daughter and three completed chapters of Harry Potter after her marriage had deteriorated.An advertisement in The Guardian led Rowling to move to Porto, Portugal, to teach English as a foreign language.She taught at night and began writing in the day while listening to Tchaikovskys Violin Concerto.After 18 months in Porto, she met Portuguese television journalist Jorge Arantes in a bar and found they shared an interest in Jane Austen.They married on 16 October 1992 and their child, Jessica Isabel Rowling Arantes (named after Jessica Mitford), was born on 27 July 1993 in Portugal. Rowling had previously suffered amiscarriage.The couple separated on 17 November 1993. Biographers have suggested that Rowling suffered domestic abuse during her marriage, although the extent is unknown. In December 1993, Rowling and her then-infant daughter moved toEdinburgh, Scotland, to be near Rowlings sisterwith three chapters of what would become Harry Potter in her suitcase.Seven years after graduating from university, Rowling saw herself as a failure.Her marriage had failed, and she was jobless with a dependent child, but she described her failure as liberating and allowing her to focus on writing.During this period, Rowling was diagnosed with clinical depression and contemplated suicide.Her illness inspired the characters known as Dementors, soul-sucking creatures introduced in the third book.Rowling signed up for welfare benefits, describing her economic status as being poor as it is possible to be in modern Britain, without being homeless.Rowling was left in despair after her estranged husband arrived in Scotland, seeking both her and her daughter. She obtained an Order of Restraint, and Arantes returned to Portugal, with Rowling filing for divorce in August 1994.She began a teacher training course in August 1995 at the Moray House School of Education, at Edinburgh University,aftercompleting her first novel while living on state benefits.She wrote in many cafs, especially Nicolsons Caf (owned by her brother-in-law, Roger Moore),and the Elephant House,wherever she could get Jessica to fall asleep.In a 2001 BBC interview, Rowling denied the rumour that she wrote in local cafs to escape from her unheated flat, pointing out that it had heating. One of the reasons she wrote in cafs was that taking her baby out for a walk was the best way to make her fall asleep.Harry PotterMain article: Harry Potter The Elephant House, one of the cafs in Edinburghin which Rowling wrote the first Harry PotternovelIn 1995, Rowling finished her manuscript for Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone on an old manual typewriter.Upon the enthusiastic response of Bryony Evens, a reader who had been asked to review the books first three chapters, the Fulham-based Christopher Little Literary Agents agreed to represent Rowling in her quest for a publisher. The book was submitted to twelve publishing houses, all of which rejected the manuscript. A year later she was finally given the green light (and a 1,500 advance) by editor Barry Cunningham from Bloomsbury, a publishing house in London.The decisionto publish Rowlings book owes much to Alice Newton, the eight-year-old daughter of Bloomsburys chairman, who was given the first chapter to review by her father and immediately demanded the next.Although Bloomsbury agreed to publish the book, Cunningham says that he advised Rowling to get a day job, since she had little chance of making money in childrens books.Soon after, in 1997, Rowling received an 8,000 grant from the Scottish Arts Council to enable her to continue writing.In June 1997, Bloomsbury published Philosophers Stone with an initial print run of 1,000 copies, 500 of which were distributed to libraries. Today, such copies are valued between 16,000 and 25,000.Five months later, the book won its first award, a Nestl Smarties Book Prize. In February, the novel won the British Book Award for Childrens Book of the Year, and later, the Childrens Book Award. In early 1998, an auction was held in the United States for the rights to publish the novel, and was won byScholastic Inc., for US$105,000. Rowling said that she nearly died when she heard the news. In October 1998, Scholastic published Philosophers Stonein the US under the title of Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, a change Rowling says she now regrets and would have fought if she had been ina better position at the time. Rowling moved from her flat with the money from the Scholastic sale, into 19 Hazelbank Terrace in Edinburgh.Its sequel, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, was published in July 1998 and again Rowling won the Smarties Prize.In December 1999, the third novel, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, won the Smarties Prize, making Rowling the first person to win the award three times running.he later withdrew the fourth Harry Potter novel from contention to allow other books a fair chance. In January 2000, Prisoner of Azkaban won the inauguralWhitbread Childrens Book of the Year award, though it lost the Book of the Year prize to Seamus Heaneys translation of Beowulf.The fourth book, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, was released simultaneously in the UK and the US on 8 July 2000 and broke sales records in both countries. 372,775 copies of the book were sold in its first day in the UK, almost equalling the number Prisoner of Azkaban sold during its first year.In the US, the book sold three million copies in its first 48 hours, smashing all records. Rowling said that she had had a crisis while writing the novel and had to rewrite one chapter many times to fix a problem with the plot. Rowling was namedAuthor of the Year in the 2000 British Book Awards.A wait of three years occurred between the release of Goblet of Fire and the fifth Harry Potter novel, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. This gap led to press speculation that Rowling had developed writers block, speculations she denied.Rowling later said that writing the book was a chore, that it could have been shorter, and that she ran out of time and energy as she tried to finish it.The sixth book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, was released on 16 July 2005. It too broke all sales records, selling nine million copies in its first 24 hours of release. In 2006, Half-Blood Prince received the Book of the Year prize at the British Book Awards.The title of the seventh and final Harry Potter book was announced on 21 December 2006 as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. In February 2007 it was reported that Rowling wrote on a bust in her hotel room at the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh that she had finished the seventh book in that room on 11 January 2007.Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released on 21 July 2007 (0:01 BST)and broke its predecessors record as the fastest-selling book of all time. It sold 11 million copies in the first day of release in the UnitedKingdom and United States.The books last chapter was one of the earliest things she wrote in the entire series.Potter queueHarry Potter is now a global brand worth an estimated US$15 billion,and the last four Harry Potter books have consecutively set records as the fastest-selling books in history.The series, totalling 4,195 pages,as been translated, in whole or in part, into 65 languages.The Harry Potter books have also gained recognition for sparking an interest in reading among the young at a time when children were thought to be abandoning books for computers and television, although it is reported that despite the huge uptake of the books, adolescent reading has continued to decline.Harry Potter filmsMain article: Harry Potter (film series)In October 1998, Warner Bros. purchased the film rights to the first two novels for a seven-figure sum. A film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone was released on 16 November 2001, and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on 15 November 2002. Both films were directed byChris Columbus. The film version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was released on 4 June 2004, directed by AlfonsoCuarn. The fourth film,Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, was directed by Mike Newell, and released on 18 November 2005. The film of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenixwas released on 11 July 2007. David Yates directed, and Michael Goldenberg wrote the screenplay, having taken over the position from Steve Kloves.Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was released on 15 July 2009.David Yates directed again, and Kloves returned to write the script.Warner Bros. filmed the final instalment of the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, in two segments, with part one being released on 19 November 2010 and part two being released on 15 July 2011. Yates directed both films.Warner Bros. took considerable notice of Rowlings desires and thoughts when drafting her contract. One of her principal stipulations was the films be shot in Britain with an all-British cast,which has been generally adhered to. Rowling also demanded that Coca-Cola, the victor in the race to tie intheir products to the film series, donate US$18 million to the American charity Reading is Fundamental, as well as several community charity programs.The first four, sixth, seventh, and eighth films were scripted by Steve Kloves; Rowling assisted him in the writingprocess, ensuring that his scripts did not contradict future books in the series. She told Alan Rickman (Severus Snape) and Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid) certain secrets about their characters before they were revealed in the books.Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) asked her if Harry died at any point in the series; Rowling answered him by saying, You have a death scene, thereby not explicitly answering the question. Director Steven Spielberg was approached to direct the first film, but dropped out. The press has repeatedly claimed that Rowling played a role in his departure, but Rowling stated that she had no say in who directed the films and would not have vetoed Spielberg.Rowlings first choice for the director had been Monty Python member Terry Gilliam, but Warner Bros. wanted a family-friendly film and chose Columbus.Rowling had gained some creative control on the films, reviewing all the scripts as well as acting as a producer on the final two-part instalment,Deathly Hallows.Rowling, producers David Heyman and David Barron, along with directors David Yates, Mike Newell and Alfonso Cuarn collected the Michael Balcon Award for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema at the 2011 British Academy Film Awards in honour of the Harry Potter film franchise.In September 2013, Warner Bros. announced an expanded creative partnership with Rowling, based on a planned series of films about Newt Scamander, author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The first film, scripted by Rowling, was released in November 2016 and is set roughly 70 years before the events of the main series.In 2016, it was announced that the series would consist of five films, with the second scheduled for release in November 2018.Financial successIn 2004, Forbes named Rowling as the first person to become a U.S.-dollar billionaire by writing books, the second-richest female entertainer and the 1,062nd richest person in the world.Rowling disputed the calculations and said she had plenty of money, but was not a billionaire.The 2016Sunday Times Rich List estimated Rowlings fortune at 600 million, ranking her as the joint 197th richest person in the UK.In 2012, Forbes removed Rowling from their rich list, claiming that her US$160 million in charitable donations and the high tax rate in the UK meant she was no longer a billionaire.In February 2013 she was assessed as the 13th most powerful woman in the United Kingdom by Womans Hour on BBC Radio 4.In 2001, Rowling purchased a 19th-century estate house, Killiechassie House, on the banks of the River Tay, near Aberfeldy, in Perth and Kinross.Rowling also owns a 4.5 million Georgian house in Kensington, west London, on a street with 24-hour security.Remarriage and familyOn 26 December 2001, Rowling married Neil Murray (born 30 June 1971), a Scottish doctor, in a private ceremony at her home, Killiechassie House, near Aberfeldy.Their son, David Gordon Rowling Murray, was born on 24 March 2003.Shortly after Rowling began writing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, she ceased working on the novel to care for David in his early infancy.Rowling is a friend of Sarah Brown, wife of former prime minister Gordon Brown, whom she met when they collaborated on a charitable project. When Sarah Browns son Fraser was born in 2003, Rowling was one of the first to visit her in hospital. Rowlings youngest child, daughter Mackenzie Jean Rowling Murray, to whom she dedicated Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, was born on 23 January 2005.In October 2012, a New Yorker magazine article stated that the Rowling family lived in a seventeenth-centuryEdinburgh house, concealed at the front by tall conifer hedges. Prior to October 2012, Rowling lived near the author Ian Rankin, who later said she was quiet and introspective, and that she seemed in her element with children.As of June 2014, the family resides in Scotland.The Casual VacancyIn July 2011, Rowling parted company with her agent, Christopher Little, moving to a new agency founded by one of his staff, Neil Blair. On 23 February 2012, his agency, the Blair Partnership, announced on its website that Rowling was set to publish a new book targeted at adults. In a press release, Rowling said that her new book would be quite different from Harry Potter. In April 2012, Little, Brown and Company announced that the book was entitled The Casual Vacancy and would be released on 27 September 2012.Rowling gave several interviews and made appearances to promote The Casual Vacancy, including at the London Southbank Centre,he Cheltenham Literature Festival, Charlie Rose and the Lennoxlove Book Festival. In its first three weeks of release, The Casual Vacancy sold over 1 million copies worldwide.On 3 December 2012, it was announced that the BBC would be adapting The Casual Vacancy into a television dramaminiseries. Rowlings agent, Neil Blair acted as producer, through his independent production company and with Rick Senat serving as executive producer. Rowling collaborated on the adaptation, serving as an executive producer for the series. The series aired in three parts from 15 February to 1 March 2015.Cormoran StrikeMain article: Cormoran StrikeIn 2007, during the Edinburgh Book Festival, author Ian Rankin claimed that his wife spotted Rowling scribbling away at a detective novel in a caf.Rankin later retracted the story, claiming it was a joke,but the rumour persisted, with a report in 2012 in The Guardian speculating that Rowlings next book would be a crime novel.In an interview with Stephen Fry in 2005, Rowling claimed that she would much prefer to write any subsequent books under a pseudonym, but she conceded to Jeremy Paxman in 2003 that if she did, the press would probably find out in seconds.In April 2013, Little Brown published The Cuckoos Calling, the purported dbut novel of author Robert Galbraith, whom the publisher described as a former plainclothes Royal Military Police investigator who had left in 2003 to work in the civiliansecurity industry.The novel, a detective storyin which private investigator Cormoran Strike unravels the supposed suicide of a supermodel, sold 1,500 copies in hardback (although the matter was not resolved as of 21 July 2013; later reports stated that this number is the number of copies that were printed for the first run, while the sales total was closer to 500)and received acclaim from other crime writersand criticsa Publishers Weekly review called the book a stellar debut,while the Library Journals mystery section pronounced the novel the debut of the month.India Knight, a novelist and columnist for The Sunday Times, tweeted on 9 July 2013 that she had been reading The Cuckoos Calling and thought it was good for a dbut novel. In response, a tweeter called Jude Callegari said that the author was Rowling. Knight queried this but got no further reply. Knight notified Richard Brooks, arts editor of the Sunday Times, who began his own investigation.After discovering that Rowling and Galbraith had the same agent and editor, he sent the books for linguistic analysis which found similarities, and subsequently contacted Rowlings agent who confirmed it was Rowlings pseudonym.Within days of Rowling being revealed as the author, sales of the book rose by 4,000%,and LittleBrown printed another 140,000 copies to meet the increase in demand.As of 18 June 2013, a signed copy of the first edition sold for US$4,453 (2,950), while an unsold signed first-edition copy was being offered for $6,188 (3,950).Rowling said that she had enjoyed working under a pseudonym. On her Robert Galbraith website, Rowling explained that she took the name from one of her personal heroes, Robert Kennedy, and a childhood fantasy name she had invented for herself, Ella Galbraith.Soon after the revelation, Brooks pondered whether Jude Callegari could have been Rowling as part of wider speculation that the entire affair had been a publicity stunt. Some also noted that many of the writers who had initially praised the book, such as Alex Gray or Val McDermid, were within Rowlings circle of acquaintances; both vociferously denied any foreknowledge of Rowlings authorship.Judith Jude Callegari was the best friend of the wife of Chris Gossage, a partner within Russells Solicitors, Rowlings legal representatives. Rowling released a statement saying she was disappointed and angry;Russells apologised for the leak, confirming it was not part of a marketing stunt and that the disclosure was made in confidence to someone he trusted implicitly.Russellsmade a donation to the Soldiers Charity on Rowlings behalf and reimbursed her for her legal fees.On 26 November 2013 the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) issued Gossage a written rebuke and 1,000 fine for breaching privacy rules.On 17 February 2014, Rowling announced that the second Cormoran Strike novel, named The Silkworm, would be released in June 2014. It sees Strike investigating the disappearance of a writer hated by many of his old friends for insulting them in his new novel.In 2015, Rowling stated on Galbraiths website that the third Cormoran Strike novel would include an insane amount of planning, the most I have done for any book I have written so far. I have colour-coded spreadsheets so I can keep a track of where I am going.On 24 April 2015, Rowling announced that work on the third book was completed. Titled Career of Evil, it was released on 20 October 2015 in the United States, and on 22 October 2015 in the United Kingdom.In 2017, the BBC released a Cormoran Strike television series, starring Tom Burke as Cormoran Strike, it was picked up by HBO for distribution in the United States and Canada.Rowling confirmed that she would release the fourth instalment of the series sometime in 2017. In March 2017,Rowling revealed the fourth novels title via Twitter in a game of Hangman with her followers. After many failed attempts, followers finally guessed correctly. Rowling confirmed that the next novels title is Lethal White.Subsequent Harry Potter publicationsFor the material written for Comic Relief and other charities, see Philanthropy.Rowling has said it is unlikely she will write any more books in the Harry Potter series.In October 2007 she stated that her future work was unlikely to be in the fantasy genre.

福楼拜曾说过:对不幸的命运越是抱怨,越是觉得痛 苦;越是想逃避,越是觉得恐惧,不如去面对它、迎战它、 克服它,使一切痛苦低头称臣,使灿烂的花朵盛开在艰苦 耕耘过的土地上。哈利· 波特正是这样,他面对困难不低头 ,反而抬起头、挺起胸勇敢的去面对,征服它。同学们, 山中没有笔直的路啊,然而,有弯曲,才有雄壮,有秀美 、有起伏,才有波澜,正如溪流有阻碍,有不平,才有歌 声!我们的道路不是平坦的,是有起伏、坑坑洼洼的,但我 们不能向困难低头,要向哈利-波特学习,做一个正直、正 义、勇敢面对困难、藐视困难的人!胜利永远是属于坚韧不 跋的人。让我们大家一起努力吧!

读书笔记:《哈利·波特与魔法石》:每个孩子,都期待霍格沃兹的开学信J.K.罗琳==================================================作者简介J.K.罗琳J.K.罗琳(J.K. Rowling),1965年7月31日出生于英国格温特郡,毕业于英国埃克塞特大学,英国作家。

作品简介《哈利·波特与魔法石》,是英国女作家J.K.罗琳创作的长篇小说,《哈利·波特》系列小说的第一部。

该书讲述了自幼父母双亡的孤儿哈利·波特收到魔法学校霍格沃茨的邀请,前去学习魔法,之后遭遇的一系列历险。

该小说情节跌宕起伏,语言风趣幽默,主题反映了现实和人性,发人深省。

内容简介在《哈利·波特与魔法石》中,一岁的哈利·波特失去了父母后,便来到了姨妈家,过着极其痛苦的日子。

一直到十一岁生日那天,哈利一生的命运才发生了变化,他收到了一封神秘的信,被邀请去一个童话般的地方——霍格沃茨魔法学校。

哈利发现这里到处充满着魔力,他既找到了朋友,又学会了魔法和骑着飞天扫帚打魁地奇,还得到了一件隐形衣,他在这里生活得很愉快。

但一块魔法石出现了,它将关系到世界的现在和未来。

哈利在好朋友罗恩和赫敏的帮助下,突破了重重困难,保护了魔法石,终于拯救了世界。

小优姐姐推荐相信对于每个喜欢《哈利·波特》系列的人来说,我们都曾在十几岁的时候,期待着有一天收到猫头鹰寄送来的,通往霍格沃兹魔法学院的入学通知书。

没收到时就安慰自己:今年霍格沃兹扩招了,学校的猫头鹰不够用了!再等一等!也曾想象像哈利那样,穿过破釜酒吧,去一趟对角巷,拥有一根属于自己的魔杖。

然而实际上,我们既没有收到入学信,也没有魔杖,只是拿着筷子在家里瞎比划,嘟囔着爸妈听不懂的咒语。

即使如此,我们仍在《哈利·波特》的故事中收获了不少的欢乐与梦想。

七本书,八部电影,23年。

我们这些看着它长大的80后、90后,逐渐从天真无邪的小孩,变成了忙于生活的大人;逐渐从父母的小孩,变成了孩子的爸妈。
