J.K. Rowling wins the big prize at British Book Awards
The mother (and father for that matter) of Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling, won the main prize at the British Book Awards. Britain’s biggest-selling contemporary author was looking appropriately spell-binding in a low-cut black dress as she picked up the Book of the Year trophy in London’s upmarket Grosvenor House hotel. J.K. Rowling said: “I’m delighted that Harry Potter continues to give so much pleasure to adults and children, and I’m honoured to receive this award,” said the mum-of-three, who has sold in excess of 300 million books worldwide. “I’m enjoying writing the last book in the series and it’s coming along nicely.”
I belive she’s one of the richest women in the world, the books of Harry Potter have been sold in over 300 millions of copies. At the age of 39, J.K. Rowling has made it to the top best-seller lists all over the planet, and she still has one more volume of Harry Potter to publish.
