The struggles before success is never a popular topic people like to explore. The life of Joanne Rowling before she wrote Harry Potter was a struggle from her education, to trying to find a job, and even to her marriages.

“Who has read a Harry Potter book by J. K. Rowling?” My Seventh grade language arts teacher Ms. Edwards would ask the class. Most of the students would raise their hands. Some with glee as they read the whole series, others having only read one, maybe two books simply raised their hands. There I was, not raising my hand and feeling embarrassed, feeling like I didn 't belong like I was an outsider for not reading a book. Class would go on as usual but I was stuck on that one question, pondering…

Harry Potter is a movie series filled with fantasy scripted from a series of seven novels written by J.K Rowling. It talks about how little Harry Potter survived a deadly attack on his family by the darkest wizard in the “world” and how he is supposed to destroy the killer of his parents. (Columbus, 2001-2011).

The way J.K. Rowling wrote her stories about wizards and their mystical realms took me to another place. A place outside of my bedroom or porch to a world where humans can be turned into frogs just by a flick of a wand. On the side I would read anything from non-fiction…
