writer JK Rowling wrote the first Harry Potter book in 1995 – Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. About a dozen publication houses rejected this manuscript. In the end, somehow the world-famous publication Bloomsbury agreed to publish it, that too because Alice Newton, the eight-year-old daughter of Bloomsbury’s chairman, read the manuscript and enjoyed it very much. Forced father printed 1000 copies of the book in front of his daughter, half of which were sent to libraries. JK Rowling got only 1500 pounds. If someone wants to go to the market and buy even one of those rare 1000 copies, then he will have to spend around 20000 pounds per copy. As of today, JK Rowling’s total assets are 82 billion and 24 crore rupees. This is the magic of Harry Potter.
