Initially, only 1,000 copies were printed. Rowling then finished Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in 1995. Rowling, who had gotten the idea for the Harry Potter series in 1990, wrote the first book while completing a teacher training course. The couple separated a few months after Jessica’s birth, and Rowling moved with her infant daughter to Edinburgh, Scotland. They married two years later and their child Jessica was born a year after that. There, she met Portuguese journalist Jorge Arantes. Rowling later moved to Portugal to teach English at night and write in the day. After that, Rowling worked as a researcher and bilingual secretary in London for Amnesty International.
Rowling then attended the University of Exeter, studying French and Classics. Rowling attended secondary school at Wyedean School and College, where her mother worked.
As a child, Rowling often wrote fantasy stories and was very precocious. His salary is now thought to have been £2 million (around $3 million).Rowling was born outside of Bristol, England to Peter James Rowling, an aircraft engineer, and Anne Rowling, a science technician. He was originally offered only £125,000 (around $180,000) to reprise his title role in Chamber of Secrets, until the actors’ union Equity stepped in and negotiated new terms on his behalf. Young Daniel Radcliffe is rapidly learning what it means to be a Hollywood star. He then comes across a strange message concerning a legendary monster, which leads him and his friends into a dangerous mystery that could spell doom for them all. When he crash-lands in the school grounds in a flying car driven by best friend Ron Weasley, he is concerned to discover that a number of fellow pupils are being “petrified”. They were joined by noted Shakespearean actor Kenneth Branagh, and the result is another inspired confection of story-telling, acting and special effects that will guarantee a lucrative period for cinemas in the run-up to Christmas.ĭirected, as was its predecessor, by Chris Columbus, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets begins with Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) ignoring a warning about returning to Hogwarts. Some of the best-known names in British showbusiness, including Maggie Smith, John Cleese, Robbie Coltrane, Richard Harris and Alan Rickman, reported for another tour of duty at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and they fooled no-one by insisting that they had been bullied into taking part by either their children or grandchildren. The distinguished Harry Potter repertory company was reconvened to film the second in what is expected to be a series of seven movie adaptations of JK Rowling’s stunningly successful books. Netflix spent $30m per episode on “Stranger Things” season 4
