Joanne "Jo" Rowling, better known as J. K. Rowling, is a British novelist, best known as the author of the Harry Potter fantasy series. The Potter books have gained worldwide attention, won multiple awards, sold more than 400 million copies to become the best-selling book series in history and been the basis for a popular series of films, in which Rowling had overall approval on the scripts as well as maintaining creative control by serving as a producer on the final instalment. Rowling conceived the idea for the series on a train trip from Manchester to London in 1990.
Rowling has led a "rags to riches" life story, in which she progressed from living on social security to multi-millionaire status within five years. As of March 2011, when its latest world billionaires list was published, Forbes estimated Rowling's net worth to be US$1 billion.[9] The 2008 Sunday Times Rich List estimated Rowling's fortune at £560 million ($798 million), ranking her as the twelfth richest woman in the United Kingdom. Forbes ranked Rowling as the forty-eighth most powerful celebrity of 2007, and Time magazine named her as a runner-up for its 2007 Person of the Year, noting the social, moral, and political inspiration she has given her fans. In October 2010, J. K. Rowling was named 'Most Influential Woman in Britain' by leading magazine editors. She has become a notable philanthropist, supporting such charities as Comic Relief, One Parent Families, Multiple Sclerosis Society of Great Britain, and Lumos (formerly the Children's High Level Group).
On February 23, 2012, Little, Brown & Company announced it would publish Rowling's first novel for adults.

A good education of children is an important challenge for parents and society. Some people are harsh with their children. Let’s speculate, if their behavior is right.
I am convinced that it is need to be kind with children and not punish them. If your child did something wrong, you have to explain to him, why he was guilty and which consequences may be, if he does it again. It allows him to be more responsible for his life. So he won’t be offended at you for a long time, because he will understand, why you were displeased with him. If you aren’t strict to your child, he will trust you more, because he won’t be afraid of punishment. In this case, your relationship with your child will be friendly and honestly. Every child needs a moral support of his parents.
Some opponents of being lenient to children might argue that they need a strict education. They can manage their child to be obedient, because he wouldn’t like his parents to be angry again.
I don’t agree with above-given argument, because a child may continue doing wrong things, if he is sure, that their parents won’t learn about it. He may lie to you and it will be a problem for his social development.
But all demanding parents I have only one response: we have to pay attention to souls of our children and listen to their feelings, then we will have a wholesome society.
