That story came to a thrilling conclusion this year in the seventh and final book， Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Though Joanne Rowling is a person who has no magical powers， yet in classrooms， libraries and comfortable chairs around the globe， readers have realized a greater truth: Rowling is one of the most magical beings theyll ever meet with. With a wave of her pen， she conjured up Harry Potter.The 42-year-old author invented Harry 17 years ago on a train ride from Manchester to London， England. As her devoted fans know， Rowling spent a lot of time in coffee shops finishing the first book， Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone， as a single mom in Scotland. Now， 400 million copies of her books have been sold， they have been translated into 65 languages and J.K. Rowlings name is known from Manchester to Manhattan to Manitoba.“It happened very， very quickly，” Rowling said of her fame and fortune， brought about by the first books wild popularity. “I had written a book that I was told repeatedly wasnt commercial， overlong， wouldnt sell. So when it happened， it really was a profound shock.”Mostly， it was a nice shock. Rowling has made more money than she ever imagined， and is beloved by her fans. But the pressure to produce each new book was stressful for her. And some religious groups objected to the representation of magic in Harry Potter books. No one was more surprised than Rowling that people protested against her tales. She described her books as “a prolonged argument for tolerance and a prolonged beg for the end to bigotry(固执).” Indeed， her hero always fights for fairness and honesty.Now shes busy writing a novel for grown-ups， and a book she calls a political fairy tale.1.
