The idea for the book Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone came to Joanne Kathleen Rowling in 1990. It took her seven years to finish writing it. During those seven years she had a number of jobs, including one job as an English teacher in Portugal.

Rowling sent the book to four publishers before one of them bought it. She was very happy to sell her book because it was her life's dream to be a published writer. Before she sold her book, Rowling was living in a small apartment with her daughter and was so poor that she could not afford heat in the winter.

Harry Potter became very successful with children and adults in England. The book also really took off in the United States. After her second and third books were published, the three Harry Potter books filled the top three places on many newspapers' lists of best-sellers. Then the books were made into popular movies. Without question, Rowling's life had completely changed, in just three years.

Harry Potter books have now sold more than 30 million books around the world and have been translated into more than thirty-five languages. In 1997, Rowling was earning ￡70 (about US$110) a week. By the end of 2001, she had earned over ￡150 million ($250 million), making her one of the most successful female writers of all time.

Every four years, the world turns its attention to the soccer World Cup. The most successful teams in the tournament have traditionally come from South America and Europe. However, over the years, there have been a number of surprising results.

In a famous match in 1950, the USA came up against England, one of the favorites to win the tournament. Many of the American players were amateurs from college teams. Surprisingly, the USA won 1-0. Other World Cup surprises were North Korea's win over Italy in 1966, and Cameroon's win over Argentina in 1990.

The 2002 FIFA World Cup stands out as probably the most surprising World Cup of all time. In the opening match, Senegal surprised everyone by beating France, the World Cup winner in 1998. Japan then beat Russia, the USA beat Portugal, and South Korea beat Italy, Spain, Poland, and Portugal. South Korea made it all the way to the final four, before finally losing to Germany.

In the final game, which was watched by one billion people around the world, Brazil won 2-0 over Germany. Brazil set a World Cup record by becoming the first team to win seven games in a row. Also, Brazil's most talented player, Ronaldo, scored eight goals in one tournament―more than any other player since 1970.
