J.K. Rowling

J.K. Rowling is my all-time favorite author. She made my childhood wonderful through her excellently written series: Harry Potter. This series is about a boy with magical powers who has to protect not only the magical world but the muggle(non-magic-folk) world as well. Harry is protecting the world for an evil wizard named Voldemort. Voldemort is a mass murderer searching for world control. J.K. Rowling came up with this incredible idea on a train.

J.K. Rowling brings the phrase "rags to riches" to a whole new meaning. She was in poverty for a great portion of her life before she wrote the books. Now she is the first U.S. billionaire author, the second-richest female entertainer and the 1,062nd richest person in the world. She is my inspiration and I really love her story.

If you have read the Harry Potter series then you know of the drink that many of the characters love to drink: Butterbeer. :)
