The oldest child of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, she was born in Portugal and raised primarily in Scotland. The first book in her mother's famous series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, was published when she was four years old. Her parents separated just five months after her birth, and she moved with her mother to Edinburgh, Scotland. When her Portuguese broadcast journalist father, Jorge Arantes, arrived in the United Kingdom, her mother filed a restraining order against him and began divorce proceedings.
