J. K. Rowling is a Muggle author, and an acquaintance of Albus Dumbledore.[1] This in-universe counterpart of the author of the Harry Potter book series.
Rowling has knowledge of and writes about the wizarding world, its history and is an expert in wandlore. She also translates wizarding stories and history for a non-magical audience. For example, in the real-world edition of The Tales of Beedle the Bard, which she says was published for a non-magical audience for "charity", she provides explanations for terms and facts that were originally written for a Wizarding audience.[2]
Rowling has helped to translate three books for a non-magical audience which have been given a cover story for their publications. They are said to be raising funds for charity and have the clear notice that the stories are fictional. These are Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Quidditch Through the Ages and The Tales of Beedle the Bard. It is possible that she is the author of the "seven volumes on the life of Harry Potter" published in the wizarding world after the Battle of Hogwarts.[2]
