<p><b><font size="1">JK Casts Her Spell Over Cinema-Goers- 09/11/01<br>
</font></b><font size="1">It's been a big week for sometime Kensington
resident JK Rowling as the long awaited Harry Potter film premieres
in Leicester Square. The 18th highest earning celeb in the world
(said to be earning £25 million a year) was at the premiere
along with the young stars of the film Rupert Grint, Daniel Radcliffe
and Emma Watson. Other Potter fan's in attendance included Princess
Beatrice and Eugenie with their mum the Duchess of York, Sting and
his daughter Coco and Cate Blanchett. </font></p>
<p><font size="1"> By all accounts, the film did not disappoint, with
some describing it as 'the best film I have ever seen'. Rowling
herself said it was 'wonderful', and you can bet your Bertie Bott's
Beans that if she likes it the rest of us will too. If you're a
famous parent/godparent/friend and you didn't manage to get your
child/godchild/young friend a ticket to the most eagerly-awaited
premiere of all time, then let's just hope that you've managed to
get your hands on the equally sought-after Professor Snape's Potions
Set as a Christmas present, or else ...</font></p>
<p><font size="1"><b><a name="anger"></a>Harry Potter author angered
by tabloid photos of daughter - 14/08/01<br>
</b></font><font size="1">Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling lodged
a formal complaint Friday to a press industry group after a tabloid
magazine published photos of the best-selling author's daughter.
Rowling's lawyer issued the formal protest against OK! magazine
to the Press Complaints Commission, her spokeswoman said on customary
condition of anonymity. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">The magazine published three photos of Rowling's
8-year-old daughter, Jessica, playing on a private beach. The pictures
were reportedly taken while the author was at a resort on the Indian
Ocean island Mauritius. They also show a bikini-clad Rowling and
a male companion. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">``Ms. Rowling has taken every possible measure over
the last four years to protect her daughter's privacy and ensure
that her life remains undisturbed by press intrusion,'' her spokeswoman
said. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">A spokesman for Northern and Shell, owners and publishers
of OK! magazine, said: ``We shall examine the substance of the complaint
and we shall naturally respond appropriately.'' The Press Complaints
Commission is a voluntary industry group with no enforcement power.

<p><font size="1"><b><a name="break"></a>Local Worker Breaks Promise
With Employer</b> - <b>30/03/01</b><br>
The struggling local author JK Rowling has broken a promise she
made to her publisher to come up with a new book this year. Bloomsbury
announced that the writer was too busy to finish the manuscript
and that it is likely to arrive sometime next year, but said, "we
can't guarantee it". </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Rowling's paltry earnings from her little known
'Harry Potter' series of books have so far only amounted to less
than �15million, and the single mother has been forced to take a
part-time job writing for a filmmaker named Spielberg. </font></p>
<p><font size="1"><b><font color="#000000">JK Rowling meets with the
Queen -22/03/01</font></b><br>
Harry Potter author JK Rowling has met the Queen as part of day
spent visiting different aspects of the British book publishing
industry. The event is another of the Royal theme days when the
Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh undertake a series of engagements
all connected with the same subject. The Queen and the Duke met
with JK Rowling at Bloomsbury Publishing's London offices - the
company which publishes the Harry Potter books. JK Rowling, 35,
was at Buckingham Palace on 2 March, to receive an OBE for services
to children's literature from the Prince of Wales. </font></p>

13/03/01</font></b></font> <font size="1"><br>
Harry Potter creator JK Rowling has written stories featuring their
famous characters in aid of Comic Relief.</font></p>
<p><font size="1"><br>
</font><font size="1">J K Rowling has produced Fantastic Beasts
and Where to Find Them, which is the book junior wizard Harry bought
to prepare him for Hogwarts school. She has also written Quidditch
Through The Ages, a library book that Harry uses to learn the rules
of the school's signature sporting activity, which involves teams
playing ball on broomsticks.</font></p>
<p><font size="1"><br>
</font><font size="1">JK Rowling received an OBE earlier this month
from Prince Charles. "When Comic Relief asked me to write something
I thought I would just love to write the two books," Ms Rowling
told the BBC. "I did two because I had two in my head and I couldn't
really decide between Quidditch and Fantastic Beasts, so I decided
to do them both."<br>
</font><font size="1">Comic Relief founder Richard Curtis approached
J K Rowling to write a story saying he was sure she would not be
able to but he would still love her books regardless. "It was a
very clever way of asking somebody to do something, though I didn't
really need much persuading" JK Rowling told the BBC. <br>

Palace. Ms Rowling, 35, is to get the honour for services to children's

Biography:</b><br>
J.K. (Joanne Kathleen) Rowling was born in Chepstow, Gwent in 1965.
Her writing career started at the age of six when she wrote a story
called Rabbit. She left Chepstow for Exeter University, where her
course included one year in Paris. As a post-graduate, she moved
to London to work at Amnesty International doing research into human
rights abuses in Francophone Africa, she married and divorced and
was left holding the baby and living off social security, it was
at this time that she began writing Harry Potter and the Philosopher's
Stone at a table in a caf� during her daughters naps.</font></p>
<p><font size="1">When Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was
bought and published by Bloomsbury in 1997 her life changed dramatically,
the Harry Potter series has since then won numerous awards and become
a tremendous success around the world. Warner Brothers have bought
the rights to the first two books for a "substantial seven figure
sum". A release date for the film (or films) has not yet been announced.
