Pre Harry Potter, J K Rowling was once an ESL teacher. She knows a couple of foreign languages too. She's an active individual. She twits, or tweets, with regularity.
But of course, it's her writing that I have to thank her for. Harry Potter is the main thing that I got - or am getting - from J K Rowling.
Not so much the books themselves, but the fact that they have been translated into (to date) 74 languages. That fact makes the seven-volume series a wonderful language-learning resource.
Thank you, J K Rowling (and sundry translators).
