What is the full name of Harry Potter author JK Rowling?

Answer 1

Joanne Rowling. Kathleen isn't her middle name she just had to chose another initial and she chose K for Kathleen after her grandmother. She thought young boys would be turned off by a book made by a women, so with those two initials you wouldn't be able to tell. True story, I read it in a biography on JK Rowling.

Answer 2

Joanne Rowling Although she writes under the pen name "J. K. Rowling", pronounced rolling her name when her first Harry Potter book was published was simply "Joanne Rowling". Before publishing her first book, her publisher Bloomsbury feared that the target audience of young boys might be reluctant to buy books written by a female author. It requested that Rowling use two initials, rather than reveal her first name. As she had no middle name, she chose K. for Kathleen as the second initial of her pseudonym, from her paternal grandmother. The name Kathleen has never been part of her real name. Following her marriage, she sometimes uses the name Joanne Murray when conducting private matters She calls herself "Jo" and says, "No one ever called me 'Joanne' when I was young, unless they were angry." I suppose you mean her full name, so the answer is Joanne Kathleen Rowling. Joanne is her mother's name, Kathleen is her grandmother;s.

Answer 3

It is Joanne Rowling. She doesn't have a middle name, to those of you who insist that it is 'Katherine.' I chose her for a speech at school and consider myself an expert. But it IS true that she was worried that publicly announcing that she was a girl would not attract male readers to the series, and she put J. Rowling, with a K after it because K was next in the alphabet, so it sounded alright.

Answer 4

Although she writes under the pen name "J. K. Rowling", pronounced like "rolling" her name when her first Harry Potter book was published was simply "Joanne Rowling". Her publisher Bloomsbury feared that the target audience of young boys might be reluctant to buy books written by a female author, and requested that she use two initials, rather than reveal her first name. As she had no middle name, she chose K as the second initial of her pseudonym, from her paternal grandmother Kathleen; it has never been part of her legal name. Following her marriage, her legal name is Joanne Murray, which she uses when conducting her personal business. She calls herself "Jo" and said, "No one ever called me 'Joanne' when I was young, unless they were angry."
