J K Rowling began writing stories about the world's most powerful wizard, Harry Potter, while she was teaching English as a second language in Portugal. The bestselling fantasy series took her from living on welfare to the Forbes Fortune 100 list.
For the recordings of each audio book, Rowling sent Harry Potter reader Jim Dale "a list of new words and character names and their corresponding pronunciations." Dale now holds the Guiness World Record for Most Voices in an Audiobook, with his 134 voice performance in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
