Informationen zum Autor J.K. Rowling is the author of the enduringly popular Harry Potter books.

Rowling wrote three short companion volumes for charity: Quidditch Through the Ages , Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and The Tales of Beedle the Bard , in aid of her international children's foundation Lumos. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them went on to inspire a new series of films featuring Magizoologist Newt Scamander. Harry's story as a grown-up was continued in a stage play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child , which J.K. Rowling wrote with playwright Jack Thorne and director John Tiffany, and which is now playing in locations around the world.
