According to the publisher, the series has been published in 85 languages, made into eight blockbuster films, and the audiobooks have been listened to for over one billion hours. It was an unexpected success for the author J.K. Rowling, who was unknown before she wrote about “the “boy who lived.” Over the next five years, she built up a mass of handwritten notes. Rowling had been scribbling on odd scraps of paper as she plotted out the series. When she moved to Portugal in 1993 to teach English, she took her Harry Potter notes with her. And by the time she returned to the UK, she had a suitcase containing the first three chapters of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. When the book was published in America in 1998, the publisher chose to change the title to “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”. It was the beginning of a bunch of record-breaking successes for Rowling, who added six more books to the series over the years. The author also challenged police to arrest her under a new hate crime law after describing several trans women as men. And she’s had public spats with Harry Potter film stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, when they came to the defence of the trans community. Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
