On July 31st, 1965 J.K Rowling was born in Chipping Sodbury, Gloucestershire, England. Her real name not abbreviated by J.K is Joanne Kathleen. Ms. Rowling has one sister, Di, who was born just about 2 years after her. While growing up her family moved twice. While at one of the homes she met the neighbors whose last name was Potter. She said that the children inspired her and that’s how she got the last name Potter for her stories later on. After finishing school, her parents encouraged her to study French at the University of Essex. After having spent a year in Paris, J.K Rowling graduated from university, she returned back home and took various jobs in London. Later on in life, J.K Rowling met her husband in Portugal; a Portuguese Journalist. In 1993 they had a daughter named Jessica. Not long after the birth of the child the marriage ended in divorce and J.K Rowling and infant Jessica moved to Edinburgh, Scotland.
