Fun Facts
Did you know that a few of the characters in the Harry Potter series are based on actual people? Dolores Umbridge was one of J. K. Rowling's teachers as a child. Hermione Granger is based on the author herself, as they both share a love of books and are driven to do their best. Nicolas Flamel is a character whose name is widely associated with alchemy, just like in the novels.
The first synopsis of Harry Potter was rejected by numerous publishers before finally being accepted by Bloomsbury. Like Hermione Granger, J. K. Rowling was not one to be deterred in the face of adversity. She kept trying, and finally, the first novel was released in June of 1997. The next six books were released over the following decade. Rowling has also written mystery novels for adults.
