Do you know how to get to platform 9 3/4? Well if you don't, read the books and watch the movies. Then you will know how to get to platform 9 3/4. Do you have a favorite Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans? Platform 9 3/4 and Berties Bott's Every Flavor Beans were all created by one person, J.K. Rowling

J.K. Rowling was called Jo since she was little. Jo was born on July 31, 1965. Two years later cshe got a little sister named Di. In a fight Jo threw a battery at Di leaving a scar just above her eyebrow.

J.K. Rowling loved to write, but she was afraid no one wanted to buy her stories. One weekend Jo took a trip to Manchester. on the train trip she stared out the window thinking of nothing and suddenley a picture of a boy popped into her head. When she got home, she found a pen and she wrote the boy with the lightning bolt scar. His name is Harry Potter. In Jo's free time she loved to write about Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger's adventures.

She started to write the three chapters of Harry Potter. Jo sent the chapters to a publisher for authors. It took twelve tries to publish! In June 1997, the first book was published, Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone.Jo's book would be sold for over one million dollars! The owner was afraid to spend this much on the book, but he knew that people in America would love it just as much as he did.

I think she was an inspiring person because she helped so may people in her life. She worked really hard to get her books published. I love how in her books it gets closer, and closer to the end of the mystery. I think she inspires a lot of people to write like her.
