I’m a huge Harry Potter fan in its own right. But what’s just as interesting is the author’s story.
You see, before J.K. Rowling sold over 500 million books, she was a single mother living on welfare in England. During writing, Rowling’s beloved mother passed away, pushing her into depression as she wrote.
