First let me tell you about her childhood Rowling was born to Peter James Rowling, a Rolls-Royce aircraft engineer, and Anne Rowling, a science technician, on 31 July 1965 in Yate, Gloucestershire, England. When Rowling was four her family moved to the nearby village Winterbourne .As a child, Rowling often wrote fantasy stories which she frequently read to her sister.

Her home life was messed and her mother was diagnosis with multiple sclerosis and she had strained relationship with her father.
As a child, Rowling Joined St Michael's Primary School. She stated that her Headmaster was the inspiration for the Harry Potter headmaster Dumbledore. She was quite good at English. In 1982, Rowling took the entrance exams for admission to Oxford University but was not accepted. So she took University of Exeter and earned a BA in French and Classics.
After working as a researcher and bilingual secretary in London, Rowling then moved to Manchester, where she worked at the Chamber of Commerce.
One day in 1990, when she was on a train traveling from Manchester to London, the idea for a story of a young boy attending a school of wizardry came into her mind. She at once began to write about her story . After few months, Rowling's mother died after ten years suffering from multiple sclerosis. Rowling was writing her book(harry Potter) at the time and had never told her mother about it. Her mother's death heavily affected Rowling's writing, and she channeled her own feelings of loss by writing about Harry's own feelings of loss in greater detail in her first book.
After some days an advertisement in The Guardian led Rowling to move to Porto, Portugal, to teach English as a foreign language. She use to taught at night and began writing in the day time. After 18 months she met Portuguese television journalist Jorge Arantes. They got married and their child Jessica born on 27 July 1993. The couple separated on 17 November 1993. One of Biographer suggested that Rowling was suffered from domestic abuse during her marriage, although the extent is unknown. In December 1993, Rowling and her then infant daughter moved to Edinburgh, Scotland, with three chapters of what would become Harry Potter in her suitcase.
Seven years after she graduated from university, She saw herself as a failure. Her marriage had failed, and she was now a jobless women with a dependent child, but she described that her failure liberated her and allowed her to focus on writing. During this period, Rowling was diagnosed with clinical depression and she contemplated suicide. Her illness inspired the characters known as Dementors, soul-sucking creatures introduced in the third book of harry potter series. Rowling signed up for welfare benefits, describing her economic status as poor.
In 1995, Rowling finished her manuscript for Harry Potter series i.e The Philosopher's Stone on an old manual typewriter.
In 1995, Rowling finished her manuscript for first book of Harry Potter series - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on an old typewriter. Due to the overenthusiastic response of a reader Bryony Evens, who had been asked to review the first three chapters of book, the Fulham-based Christopher Little Literary Agency agreed and decided to represent Rowling in her quest for a publisher. The book was then submitted to twelve publishing houses, all of which rejected the manuscript of her book. After one year she was finally given the opportunity (and a 1,500 pounds in advance) by editor Barry Cunningham from Bloomsbury, a publishing house situated in London.The decision to publish Rowling's book owes mainly to Alice Newton, the small eight-year-old daughter of Bloomsbury's chairman, who was given the first chapter to review by her father and she immediately demanded the next. Although Bloomsbury agreed to publish the book, but he advised Rowling to get a day job, since she had less chance of making money in children's books. In 1997, J.K Rowling received an £8,000 grant from the Scottish Arts Council to continue writing for her upcoming books. In June 1997, Bloomsbury published Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone with an initial print of 1,000 copies, 500 of which were distributed to libraries. Today, such copies are valued between £16,000 to £25,000. Five months later, Her book won its first award, a Nestlé Smarties Book Prize. In February, the novel won the British Book Award for Children's Book of the Year, and after that, the Children's Book Award. In early 1998, in an auction held in the United States for the rights to publish the novel, Scholastic Inc., won for US$105,000. Rowling said that she "almost died" when she heard this news. In October 1998, Scholastic published Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in the US by changing the title to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Rowling says that she now regret that change and would have fought if she had been in a better position at that time.
Its second part, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, got published in July 1998 and just like her first part Rowling won the Smarties Prize. In December 1999, the third novel, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, again won the Smarties Prize third time, thus making Her the first person to win the award three times in a row. She later withdrew her fourth novel of Harry Potter from contention to allow other books a fair chance. In January 2000, Harry Potter and Prisoner of Azkaban won the inaugural Whitbread Children's Book of the Year award, though it lost the Book of the Year prize this time.
The fourth novel, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, was released simultaneously in the United Kingdom and the United States on 8 July 2000 and broke all the sales records in both the countries. 372,775 copies of the book were sold in its very first day in the UK, almost similar number of Prisoner of Azkaban was sold during its first year.

Rowling was named Author of the Year in year 2000 British Book Awards. A wait of three years occurred between the release of Goblet of Fire and the fifth part of Harry Potter novel, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. This gap led to press conjecture that Rowling had developed writer's block, speculations she denied.
The 6th book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, was released on 16 July 2005. It also broked all sales records, selling nine million copies in its first 24 hours of release. In 2006, Harry Potter and Half-Blood Prince received the Book of the Year prize at the British Book Awards.
