Book 4 final

How do authors start out? Some don't go through college and some spend extra time in college but they still create best selling books. How can that be? Isn't it logical to think that the more schooling you go through the better you're prepared to write a popular book. Authors don't always start that way. Some have an imagination that gains their popularity or their own life story that grabs the attention of the world. The Harry Potter series is well known around the country but how did J.K. Rowling get her success? She started as an unemployed, single mother living in London. She thought of the story Harry Potter while sitting on a train. She didn't even have a pen and paper to write the idea down but she kept it all in her head as she traveled. It's very interesting how J.K. Rowling came up such a wonderful serious that's mysterious, thrilling and magical. I didn't expect to read about wizards and witches and be so fascinated with the series. Every character is so well rounded, you learn about everything about each of them. How she came up with this series I don't understand. J. K. Rowling started the first book knowing the ending of the 7th book. She created a whole web and chart of what would mainly happen in each book and add all the little details when she started to write each one. I still don't understand how you can just sit on a train and develop this popular series that the whole world is going crazy over. I just don't understand! Her writing is fabulous and very abstract. Her imagery changes the perspective of her audiences and inspired the rest of the world. I can't wait to finish the book and the whole series. I have seen all the movies but I want to read what wasn't included in the movies.
When Rowling decided to get the book published no one thought it would be a story that the audience would love until one accepted her book. It took a year until the story became popular and everyone fell in love. Now every country in the world is infatuated with this series. This story of how J.K. Rowling started from the bottom and now is one of the richest people in the world from one series really impresses me. Anyone can start from the bottom and change their world around with one decision. Even though she decided to give most of her money to charity she still is considered one of the richest authors known because of how successful she has become. Harry Potter will forever be a world famous book and inspire the rest of the world to produce wonderful books like this series. I can't wait to read more of the series and maybe some of her other books.
