J.K. Rowling's Incredible Rags to Riches Story
In 1990, as she waited on a delayed train bound for London, an unknown author named Joanne Rowland began musing on the idea of an adolescent boy who attends a school for wizards.
Thus marked the conception of Harry Potter, but it would take far more than a magic spell and the wave of a wand to bring him to life.
At the time Harry first popped into her head, Rowling was caught in that no man's land between college graduation and the pursuit of a life's passion.
She had worked a series of temp jobs since earning her French degree at the University of Exeter and was looking at a move to Manchester to live with her boyfriend.
Everything abruptly changed at the end of the year when her mother, Anne, succumbed to a decade-plus battle with multiple sclerosis at age 45.
Devastated, Rowling sought refuge in the thrill of a new, adventurous life, and moved to Portugal to teach English.
