Harry Potter Franchise creator JK Rowling honored as richest woman in UK (actually richest man or woman from the UK).

JK Rowling only Briton to make US rich list
J K Rowling was beaten only by Oprah Winfrey

J K Rowling's billion-dollar fortune has made her the second richest woman in show business and the only British name on a Top 20 list complied by Forbes magazine.

The Harry Potter author, said to be worth £510 million, or $1 billion, was beaten only by Oprah Winfrey's £760 million fortune in Forbe's list of the richest women in entertainment.

She saw off competition from Martha Stewart, the disgraced "domestic goddess" at number three with £325 million, and Madonna, whose £165million fortune places her in fourth. Joanne Rowling, 41, who wrote her first novel whilst unemployed and living on state benefits with her daughter in Edinburgh, became the first US billionaire to make her money via books in 2004.

Insight into Book 7

Book Seven intimately tied to Book Six say JK Rowling

Progress on Book Six
Book six is well underway, hooray, though I am still at the stage where I have a large and complicated chart propped on the desk in front of me to remind me what happens where, how, to whom and which bits of crucial information need to be slipped into which innocent-looking chapters.
I started writing Harry Potter Six before my son David (who has just turned one) was born, but then took a bit of a break during the serious sleep-deprivation phase of his babyhood. I am really enjoying writing this book, though for the first time I am conscious that I am approaching the end of the series. So much of what happens in book six relates to book seven that I feel almost as though they are two halves of the same novel. Regular visitors to this site will find information about what’s in book six if they can work out where to look. Patience is the key.

Wizards at Prognostication: Harry Potter Books

As we approach the yet to be announced release date of the last Harry Potter Book. I cannot help but be nostalgic towards the end of a great series.
I like everything about these novels. The fact that the author, a struggling school teacher with little money and on public assistance, one day had this brilliant idea for a series of books. To the fact that it deals with a world of make believe but appearing so real you could almost touch it.

The Meaning of Deathly Hallows?

TRY drhowell.net SEARCH

According to the dictionary:

to hallow means:
> Definition: consecrate, bless, hallow, sanctify
render holy by means of religious rites
> Synonyms: consecrate, bless, sanctify
consecrate, bless, hallow, sanctify

But the question is what does it mean in the last Harry Potter(HP) Book. At this point only J.K. Rowlings and her husband(if he is lucky) probably know.
