She grew up in an unhappy home with parents who fought constantly. Thanks to Pottermore, we now know that McGonagall had a complicated history with a muggle father and a witch mother who did not reveal her magical status to her husband until Minerva received an acceptance letter to Hogwarts. Pottermore has given us incredible amounts of information, including a few bits about its current headmistress, Professor Minerva McGonagall. Tolkien’s son, Christopher, compiled his father’s notes, poems, and stories in The Silmarillion to help us suss out Middle Earth stories beyond The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Martin is not even finished with his A Song of Ice and Fire series and he is the first to point out that the canon of the Game of Thronesshow isn’t in line with the books. It’s unprecedented for the great fantasy authors of our time to do what Rowling does. And, with a regular presence on social media, in interviews, and a continual expansion of the Harry Potter universe in movies such as Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Pottermore, and the two-part stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Rowling has done what few authors have done: she continually adds to the canon of her creations outside of the books themselves. She created an entire world of magic that will be a part of our literary psyche for centuries to come.
She ushered in a new era of fantasy, accessible to children and parents alike. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter novels, is arguably the most influential living author.
