Rowling's media representative refused to comment on her net worth. Rowling has invested heavily in real estate, amassing a portfolio of properties in England and Scotland. However, Rowling devotes a large portion of her money to taxes, choosing for the highest tax rate in the United Kingdom because she has previously said that she feels owed to the system due to her time on welfare while writing the first Harry Potter novel. Additionally, she has contributed millions to other causes.
J.K. Rowling's new agency revealed in 2011 that the author was working on an adult novel titled 'The Casual Vacancy.' Rowling claimed in a press statement that the novel will be considerably different from Harry Potter. Casual Vacancy was released in September 2012 and has now sold over a million copies worldwide. By the end of 2012, BBC had revealed plans to adapt âThe Casual Vacancyâ into a television drama series. J.K. Rowling oversaw the adaptation, which premiered in February 2015 in three parts. With admirers worldwide anticipating either a new childrenâs book or an adult novel, public attention never seems to stray far from J.K Rowling. In 2012, Forbes removed Rowling's name off their list of the world's wealthiest individuals. They argued that her $160 million in charitable contributions, along with the UK tax rate, reduced JK Rowling's net worth and rendered her no longer a billionaire.

Rowling is now the 196th wealthiest person in the United Kingdom, according to the site. HBO Max is now streaming Harry Potter: Return to Hogwarts. This is how you may view it for free.
