J.K. Rowling — Books

The story behind the answer

J.K. Rowling is correct because she created the Harry Potter series (1997–2007), a global phenomenon that sold over 500 million copies and reshaped modern young adult fantasy with Hogwarts, Quidditch, and the Wizarding World. She’s also written crime novels under the pen name Robert Galbraith.

To distinguish the options: Suzanne Collins wrote The Hunger Games, Stephenie Meyer wrote Twilight, and Agatha Christie penned classic mysteries featuring Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Memory tip: “JK” can feel playful—think of the magic and whimsy in Harry Potter—while “Christie = mystery,” “Collins = districts,” and “Meyer = vampires.”
