Rowling collaborated with playwright Jack Thorne and director John Tiffany to resume Harry’s story in a stage play, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which opened first in London, and is now playing on Broadway and in Melbourne, Australia. Alongside the Harry Potter series, she also wrote three short companion volumes: Quidditch Through the Ages, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and The Tales of Beedle the Bard, which were published in aid of Comic Relief and Lumos. The enduringly popular adventures of Harry, Ron and Hermione have sold over 500 million copies, been translated into over 80 languages, and made into eight blockbuster films, the last of which was released in 2011.
ROWLING is best-known as the author of the seven Harry Potter books, which were first published between 19.
