Tell about J. K. Rowling ?

In 2010, when J.K. Rowling turned 45 — the same age her mother was when she died of multiple sclerosis — Rowling donated £10 million to the University of Edinburgh to found a clinic in her mother's name. The Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic opened in January 2013.

Due to the popularity of the books, Quidditch has become an actual sport with teams at many universities and its own world cup tournament.

In 1982, she took the entrance exams for Oxford but was not accepted. She ended up studying French at Exeter, a university with a reputation for being "frantically posh," as Rowling puts it.

Early in her career, she worked as a Francophone Africa researcher for Amnesty International in London.

Rowling had significant input into the film adaptations of the Harry Potter series, which became the second highest-grossing movie series in cinema history. She consulted on the film scripts and later joined the operation as a producer.

Rowling has three children. Her oldest daughter is named Jessica Arantes (from her first marriage), her son is David Murray and her youngest is Mackenzie Murray (born in 2005).
