J.K. Rowling tweet (or X post) worth thinking about this 2026
Posted By RichC on January 1, 2026
J.K. Rowling, born Joanne Kathleen Rowling on July 31, 1965, in Yate, England, is the acclaimed British author of the Harry Potter series, which has sold over 600 million copies worldwide and been translated into more than 85 languages.
Inspired to write the series during a delayed train journey in 1990, she completed the first book while living as a single mother in Edinburgh, facing financial hardship. The novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, was published in 1997 and launched a global phenomenon, followed by six sequels, film adaptations, and spin-offs like the Fantastic Beasts series and the Cormoran Strike crime novels written under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith.
A philanthropist, Rowling supports causes related to children’s welfare and multiple sclerosis through her charities Lumos and Volant, and she remains a prominent literary and cultural figure.
