A Magical Ending

One of the most famous series of books in history is without a doubt the Harry Potter saga. With incredibly
enthusiastic fans all over the world, a very successful movie saga, and even two amusement parks, it is hard to
believe that J.K Rowling’s book was rejected on multiple occasions.

J.K. Rowling is today one of the most famous and wealthy writers in the world. However, getting to where she is
now was not easy. Her worst nightmares had become true a few years after graduating from college. During a
speech at Harvard, she said that by 1999 she was the biggest failure she knew. She had had a failing marriage, she
had no job, depression, and she had to take care of her kid without a father. She was as poor as someone can be
without being homeless. One day, she was at a train station when the idea of the Harry Potter’s world came to her
mind.

While fighting poverty and depression, Rowling wrote her first Harry Potter novel, but it wasn’t until two years later
that Bloomsbury Children’s Books bought the rights to it for only £10,000. She was not rejected by only one, but
twelve publishers. That, however, did not make her stop following her dream of publishing her story. In her own
words, “One has to appreciate the importance and value of failure.”
