Harry Potter – the new ugly duckling.

Everyone has heard of J.K. Rowling’s book about Harry Potter, which have had their triumph all around the world. The books, which have achieved a total sale of more than 35 million copies, in over 35 languages, are very thick but are being swallowed by children and teenagers who can’t get enough.
Everyone knows the story of the little wizard, who must go through much evil in the human world, in order to find happiness at Hogward’s school for wizards. Hogward lies in a parallel world that’s populated with strange creatures and that offers exciting adventures. In this world Harry leads the battle against the evil Lord Voltemort and his followers with Hermione Granger and Ron Weasly, which are the names of his best friends.
Lord Voltemort, who wants to fight to get the power in the wizard world, exposes Harry to the most terrible dangers in all of the books.
J.K. Rowling has planned out seven books about Harry, which are expected with great excitement every time a new book in the series appears. Before a new release people are queuing in front of the book stores to get the first copies.
The story about the author is an adventure which is similar to the transformation Harry is exposed to in the switch from the muggler-world, the name for the boring human world, and the wizard world. Joanne Kathleen Rowling herself had to go through some very painful things before she became famous. She is born in 1965 as a daughter to a Scottish French mother and an English father. Reportedly they met each other at King Cross Station, which is the start station for the train that sends the wizard students from the muggler world to Hogwarts.
Joanne’s childhood was very safe and sound but at the age of 15 her mother was diagnosed with sclerosis which later on had an effect on her. Amongst other things, she had several episodes of depressions.
