32 J.K. Rowling's Inspiring and Motivational Quotes To Keep You Going And Growing In Life


Harry Potter. 

As you read this name, I know you're already imagining "Hogwarts" in your mind - or maybe it's just me. Anyways, who doesn't even know about it? Well, I guess there are some but most of the people living on Earth know it (and some are actually addicted to it) due to its fame and magic. 

As we all know, the Harry Potter book series are adapted to movies which made it more popular to millenials, and as of now, the Harry Potter vibe still exists even on the internet, especially on social media sites. 

The existence and success of Harry Potter will never happen if this person never had her persistence in the first place, and you know who that is - J.K. Rowling.

Joanne Kathleen Rowling, mostly known with her pen name, J.K. Rowling, is a worldly-known British author, philanthropist, film producer, and screenwriter. She transformed her life from rags to riches as her Harry Potter book series boomed in sales all over the world. 

Today, I've listed 32 of her Inspirational and Motivational Quotes to keep you going and growing in life. Our best picks are shown below and a special video is prepared for you to watch at the end of this list.
