In Bookmate Originals, the article "Transformation of Joan Rowling" Journalist New York Magazine Molly Fisher with the analysis of how the creator of the Universe about Harry Potter turned from the world famous writer in a symbol of aggressive intolerance. Here is the most important thing that we learned from the investigation Fisher.
The writer loves luxury, owned one yacht with Johnny Depp and sued an assistant due to excessive spending on cosmeticsThe first book about the adventures of Harry Potter was completed in 1995 in a modest apartment in the port area of Edinburgh. The seventh, the last book of Poterian Joan Rowling wrote already in the five-star Edinburgh Hotel Balmoral. Putting the final point in the novel, she wrote on a marble bust in his room: "January 11, 2007 in this number (652) J. K. Rowling finished "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows".
In the same Edinburgh Hotel Rowling gave an interview for the last season of the Opro Winfrey Talk show, which before that moment refused. Women got tea, the 120-meter number stretched behind them, under the soles of the rowling Rowling beige shuffles Louboutin spread the red carpet.
"Have you already bored with the thought that you will always be rich?" - asked the TV presenter.
"Not yet," Rowling answered. - And you?"
Rowling books were sold by hundreds of millions of copies, and films shot on them brought her billions of dollars. So the writer entered the list of billionaires of Forbes magazine, but came out of it in 2012, when he spent a lot of money for charity. At the same time, her lifestyle could not be called ascetic - at different times she owned one yacht with Johnny Depp, which later expelled from the fantastic creature franchise. This is one of the reasons why she publicly supported the actor when he was accused of domestic violence.
In 2019, she filed to his former personal assistant Amanda Donaldson, who has spent 18743 pounds from 2014 to 2017 with a credit card writer on luxury British cosmetics. "Molton Brown's Hygienic Tracts in the amount of 3629 pounds were completely unjustified," Rowling testified, according to judicial protocols. She "never asked [Donaldson] to buy them." They "do not like it." She finds from "too fragrant." Costrats Donaldson create a picture of the writer's life, which, according to the Rowling itself, is completely implausible.
In 2005, Rowling lived in the midst of the picturesque park in the Ivy Victorian mansion, which, like the Edinburgh castle, resembled the fortress. Contrary to the will of the neighbors, they with a second husband began to acquire more and more rigid security systems: first a 2.5-meter fence and then video surveillance cameras. After moving, the new home Rowling hide behind a fast-growing alive hedge in nine meters high.
Rowling a bad relationship with his father, her first marriage became a disaster, and "philosophical stone" she wrote in a state of depressionBefore the Scholastic publishing house paid her unheard of $ 105 thousand. For the rights to the American edition of the first novel, Rowling was a lonely on the manual and endlessly stretched the cup of coffee to write in a cafe.
In the same interview, Opera Winfrey, she admits that he did not communicate with her father: "We have, from my point of view, have a very long bad relationship." During the first, unsuccessful marriage, she, according to his own recognition, "followed the sample" of the family in which she rose.
Rowling graduated from the university and wondered about the career of the teacher. When she was twenty-five, her mother died from complications of multiple sclerosis. Beying Joan went to Portugal and settled in the English teacher. He married a local journalist, but the marriage turned out to be a "catastrophe". On the day, when she filed for a divorce, a former husband beat her. A year after the wedding, Rowling with a little daughter moved back to Edinburgh, closer to her sister and settled in the apartment in the port area of Lite. At that time, she was diagnosed with depression and then the first book was written about a wizard boy, living in Chulana.
"I am a public person for more than twenty years - and has never talked about his own experience of the victim of home and sexual violence," Rowling in Essay on the issues of Gender in 2020. She kept silence not because of shame, but because it is difficult to return to this experience. "My dongy is the subject of constant jokes in the family," continued Rowling. "I hope that my daughters will never be the same as I have a reason to hate sudden loud sounds or a silent appearance of a person behind my back."
Rowling is zealously protects the universe Potter: only it has the right to comments on the books, and the interpretations of Ptterian fans perceives in the bayonetsEnd of work on Harry Potter was accompanied by funeral mourning. The world of Harry became a reliable shelter for her, and she did not want to part with him. The last book has an epilogue, which tells about the future of heroes, their marriages and children. Rowling tried to enter there even more characters and details, but the publisher gently dissuade her. Shortly after the release of the last book, Rowling clearly made it clear that he had not yet spoke. Speaking in Carnegie Holle, she stated that at least it never came across books, but director Hogwarts Albus Dumbledore - Gay.
In 2016, a play was released in two parts of Harry Potter and the damned child, which Rowling wrote in co-authorship with director John Tiffany and the Writer Jack Torn. Before the premiere in London West End, all three gave an interview with Will Gomperttsu on the BBC.
"Do you feel feel," Gompertz asked Rowling, "that Harry Potter no longer belongs to you that he is now - the heritage of readers? In the philosophical, and not in the literary sense. "
"I would not go so far, Will," she said. And although there was no shadow of smiles on her face, sitting near the co-authors laughed. "I'm deadly serious," Rowling continued. - It would mean to abandon what this world was for me. Seventeen, he belonged to me. And the first seven - only me, no live soul knew anything about him. I can't tear it from personal experience that lies at the bottom of these stories, and say: "I throw it all." That is how I would feel it. "
Rowling has a difficult relationship with fan clubs and individual fans. The librarian from Michigan named Stephen Vander Arc was a devoted fan of tireless descriptions of the Universe Rowling. He made the Harry Potter Lexicon site and even honored the praise of the writer. Details of the Harry Potter Universe were described by him with such a subsidism that Rowling, according to her own words, was used by the site for references during operation. Shortly after the end of Poteriana Vander Ark contacted the local publisher to turn the site in the printed book, but the appreciation of the writer immediately melted. Submitting to the Publisher to the court on copyright violation, Rowling stated: "I believe that this book is theft of my seventeen-year-old work."
Representing the Publisher in Court, an employee of the Law Faculty of Stanford University explained that the pointers and guidebooks to the books exist already "hundreds of years." Neil Blair, Agent Rowling, noticed that wishing to produce such guides, as a rule, first contacted Rowling representatives. The judge decided the case in favor of the writer and awarded her 6,750 dollars. Vander Ark broke out when he gave testimony. Upon completion of the process, he said that he would still forever remain a fan of Pecterians.
From all social networks, Rowling prefers Twitter despite the fact that because of her posts, scandals flared up, and the writer itself is etched on the InternetRowling started a twitter account - and began his verbal twitter career - in 2014. To her pleasure, it turned out that writing tweets is also writing. "I found myself in my native environment," she said later. - Twitter for me has become nothing inspired. " Rowling is known in that it directly meets fans on Twitter and now she has more than 14 million subscribers.
The social network served as a medium of permanent refinements of the Harry Potter Universe. Here the readers learned that the three-headed dog of the gun was repatriated to Greece that the birthday of Lovegud's half-day is on February 13 and that at least one Jew student was in Hogwarts - His name was Anthony Goldstein, and he studied at the Faculty of Cogtevran. It turned out that education in the school of sorcerence and magic was free and among magicians did not exist homophobia.
However, tweets that are not believed to the Harry Potter universe often caused an acute controversy. Her political views were always comfortable left center. Rowling released insults to Donald Trump, quoted Dumbledore, objection against the Boycotte of Israel, and subscribed to Twitter on anti-transgender accounts. It is because of the tweets about the issues of the gender, it began to run in social networks.
Maya Forsteuter worked as an economist in the Analytical Institute, who did not extend the contract with her after she repeatedly expressed the opinion that trans-women are men. Forsteuter appealed to the Committee for the Permit of Labor Disputes, and he made a decision not in its favor. Rowling publicly embarked on her defense.
Fans, among which had many transgender and non-bioretum people, felt themselves devotees. The attitude of the writer to the theme of the gender was so loud the theme that the television comic comic was spoken by Pete Davidson.
After the wave of indignation, which rose after the support of Maya Forsteuter, Rowling for a while left Twitter. She ended the work on the new children's book "Icaboga", the release of which is devoted to the last post.
