Yes JK Rowling is married.  The sad thing is my first thought upon
reading this was 'oh great now book 5 will be even more delayed!'.  


LONDON (AP) - Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has married her boyfriend
at their home in Scotland, her spokeswoman said Saturday.

The wildly successful writer married Dr. Neil Murray, an anesthetist, on
Dec. 26, in a private ceremony.

"J.K. Rowling and Neil Murray were married privately on Dec. 26 at their
house in Perthshire," Nicky Stonehill said. "Their immediate family
attended the wedding."

Rowling and Murray met in Edinburgh, Scotland a little more than a year
ago. Her first marriage ended in divorce and it was as a single mother,
bringing up daughter Jessica, that Rowling began to write the
best-selling books in Edinburgh.

 
The Potter books follow the exploits of a young English boy who discovers
he inherited magical powers from his parents, a pair of wizards killed by
a powerful enemy. He's invited to become a student at the Hogwarts School
of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Her first book, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," was recently
released as a film, smashing box office records in Britain and the United
States, where it is titled "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone."
