J. K. Rowling is a famous British writer. Her first book about Harry Potter came out in 1997, and she became famous right after that. Now she has become one of the most successful writers in the world. I read the first book about Harry Potter three years ago. The story was so amazing that I couldn’t put it down until I finished reading it. So far, I have read all the seven books about Harry Potter and watched all the movies about him. If you haven’t read any of the books yet, pick one now. You will find a wonderful world in it.
