How old were you when J.K. Rowling came to your life and magically changed your world? Well, I was 13 and was mesmerised by the way she took me to a different world altogether with her magical words. As she turns 51 today, I look back at words that made me stop reading for a while, smile and ponder over them. Happy birthday to one of the most prolific writers of our time, who made us believe in all things magic. And most importantly in ourselves! Happy Birthday, J.K! You will always be our favourite author!.
