J.K. Rowling is the author of the seven Harry Potter books, which have sold over 500 million copies, been translated into over 80 languages, and made into eight blockbuster films. She also wrote three short series companion volumes for charity, including _Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them_, which later became the inspiration for a new series of films. Harry's story as a grown-up was later continued in a stage play, _Harry Potter and the Cursed Child_, which J.K. Rowling wrote with playwright Jack Thorne and director John Tiffany.

In 2020, she returned to publishing for younger children with the fairy tale _The Ickabog_, which she initially published for free online for children in lockdown, later donating all her book royalties to help vulnerable groups affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
