      Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling (Book Analysis) - Bright Summaries

      ENGLISH WRITER

      Born in Yate (England) in 1965.

      Notable works:

      Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (1997), novel

      The Casual Vacancy (2012), novel

      The Cuckoo’s Calling (2013), novel

      J.K. Rowling famously came up with the idea for the Harry Potter series on a train from Manchester to London, though the first book in the series was not published until several years later. The first novel in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, achieved unprecedented success, and Rowling was catapulted to fame. The immense popularity of Harry Potter only grew with the publication of the later books in the series, and Rowling is now one of the most well-known and influential children’s authors in the world.

      Following the publication of the final book in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Rowling took a break from publishing until 2012, when her first adult novel, The Casual Vacancy, was released. She has since published four crime novels in her Cormoran Strike series, which is published under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, as well as a play which follows on from the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

      THE SIXTH INSTALMENT IN THE HARRY POTTER SERIES
