J.K. Rowling is living proof that one should never give up on their dreams. When she began writing the Harry Potter series, she was told over and over again by various editors that it would be a flop. She believed in herself and stayed true to her intuition, however, which proved to be the most powerful thing of all. Years later, her book began to become a success and the rest is pretty much history.
There are few authors who have managed to create new worlds that the real world is actually interested in. As a matter of fact, only J.K. Rowling, Stephen King, J.R.R. Tolkien, and George R.R. Martin come to mind when this topic is breached. While all of these actors have been successful, J.K. Rowling has managed to create something so unforgettable that entire amusement parks were created in its honor.
Any real Harry Potter fan will have read and watched the series many times over, and in consequence memorized nearly every single character's name. Want to make the one and only J.K. Rowling proud? Well then, why not name all of her characters without a moment's hesitation? While this may seem like an easy thing to do, we guarantee that it is not.
