Celebrity Brainiacs: The Stars With Degrees Will Surprise You!
JK Rowling is a French Linguistic Scholar
A literary sensation, JK Rowling was pursuing a degree in French at the University of Exeter before she conceived the Hogwarts world. The critically acclaimed Harry Potter series, which has won her several awards, were eventually made into films. The tremendous success of the films worldwide prompted her to take up more writing projects, both for adults and children.
Her background in French was more of a practical necessity than a passion. According to Rowling, she had always wanted to be a writer. Her parents suggested bilingualism would increase her job prospects. In the end, we guess, great stories don’t require degrees!
