JK Rowling: Harry Potter author is 50 – STERN

The story is simple too good not to tell again and again. An unemployed, single mother in Edinburgh have to freeze in her apartment and therefore much sitting in the cafe. There she wrote a book, while the daughter is sleeping in the car. After five years of work, the first novel appears a sorcerer’s apprentice – and makes the woman the best-selling author and an international star. Of course, there is talk of Joanne Kathleen Rowling, known as JK, the creator of the Harry Potter saga. On Friday it will be 50.

Your life as a social assistance recipient has Rowling left long behind him, Potter has made them rich. At 580 million pounds, more than 800 million euros, estimated the “Sunday Times” their assets in the spring. A dozen publishers had rejected the manuscript for now. “I knew that the difficulty would be to publish it,” Rowling said the US talk show host Oprah Winfrey, “and that it would be huge.”

worldwide phenomenon Harry Potter

You was right. The seven books have been a global phenomenon, the films to blockbusters. And so should stay apparently. The Hogwarts Express Marketing never stops: Every few weeks there are new from Potter’s school. A short story here, a play there, end of next year there will be a new film with Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne. It is probably the first of a trilogy. The template, a fictional textbook Harry, has only about 120 pages.

On the website “Pottermore” can read additional articles or relive scenes from the books and games fans. And of course, shopping. “Pottermore.com is a stroke of genius,” judged the “Guardian” 2011. The production company Warner offers a Harry Potter Studio Tour which is a theme park in the US has Harry’s world copied, the number of merchandise products – from linen over wands up the game of chess – is hardly manageable

success under a pseudonym

Not only financially, it runs better than it was then for Rowling in the café in Edinburgh.. She still lives in the city, but now with her second husband and three children. By the way, who was born in England Yate Rowling produced diligently literature for adults. “The Casual Vacancy” was published under her real name, the detective thrillers “The Cuckoo’s Calling” and “The silkworm” under the pen name Robert Galbraith. They wanted to write without pressure, she said. The secret flew quickly because a lawyer there told the friend of his wife, who divulged it on Twitter. Actual sales figures show harm not, the lawyer was aufgebrummt fined. Rowling donated their compensation.

Even JK was the way the Potter books to hide Rowling’s identity. The publisher thought Harry Potter was something for boys, and it had better not name his wife to read on the title. Because they had no middle name, assumed the author of the K. the names of their Lieblingsoma.

Engagement off the literature

By the way reports the British gladly on political issues such as the Scottish independence to speak (it was against). She also promotes her charity Lumos, who wants to help some eight million children in homes around the world and after a light spell of “Harry Potter” is named. “The aim is definitely to abolish all homes,” Rowling says about this work.

do

So Much. Could the author still find time for a new “Potter”? Even eight years after with “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”, the last band has appeared on the Sorcerer’s Apprentice, give fans hope. This is also their way to answer questions afterwards. “I have a feeling that I have Harry’s story finished,” she said in April in the NBC show “Today”. “But I’ve always said that I will not say that I definitely do not do it.”

From the emotionally abused orphan in the first book to the massacre of the finale tells the story of Rowling chosen by fate outsider who finds in the acceptance of his sacrificial death redemption and triumph. Heroes are sometimes cowards and abysmally evil is co-created by good people. Rowling – who does not believe in destiny – has drawn her world in shades of gray far away from Fifty Shades of Grey.

 First Ai Weiwei remains in Munich, it goes to the capital, where his son lives

Since he was already , the small Ai Lao, very eagerly, and waited at Munich Airport on his dad. The heaved the little fix on his rolling suitcase, the joy was great. Yesterday afternoon Ai Weiwei landed in Munich. Even at noon there were rumors that China’s most famous artist and dissident will fly to Berlin. In the University of the Arts (UdK), there were telephone inquiries, whether they did not want him to pick up from Tegel Airport. But at the University of you already knew beforehand that Ai Weiwei first flies to Munich, but “in the coming days to Berlin comes,” said spokesman Björn Wilck. Even in his Berlin gallery neugerriemschneider one is attuned to his arrival. When exactly, no one knew. “We’re glad!” An exhibition is planned in the gallery in the middle. In recent days we had been in contact with Ai Weiwei, would skyping.

In Munich wants to go Ai Weiwei first instance to take in medical treatment. In 2009 he had to leave notoperieren head in Munich, the injury resulted from an attack by the Chinese secret police. Of the investigations will probably depend on exactly when he comes to Berlin. The 57-year-old artist who keeps his fans on Instagram to date is, the city of Berlin very connected, the federal government has used in the past year for its concerns, long ago that a contemporary artist beat so high political waves. But not only that, his six-year-old son lives here with his mother and goes to school here, too. Because the boy in Beijing has no school license and probably fearing Ai Weiwei also harassment, which could be exposed to his son. The regime is unpredictable, as he began to feel the last few years on his own body. Am Pfefferberg the Chinese has also a studio, an apartment, there are also the infrastructure is so there.

In the UdK Ai Weiwei, a funded by the Einstein Foundation, take three-year visiting professorship , “We are prepared for His coming, but understand when Ai Weiwei once his private affairs regulates,” says Björn Wilck. The site could start coming winter semester from mid-October.

A few days ago in Beijing Ai Weiwei had to get back his passport. Since it was set in Berlin for his arrival. Four years was the internationally networked artists without travel document. The only question was how Ai with his passport really can travel freely. Some Chinese dissidents were arrested alone while trying to leave the country at the airport. Otherwise the return was denied after departure.

“The litmus test, the Chinese government passed the exit,” says Geron Sievernich, studied sinologist and head of the Martin-Gropius-Bau, where Ai Weiwei last year with a record of 240,000 visitors exhibited. Decisive will be whether the Chinese artists ought to enter his homeland again. Ai Weiwei has always said that he wants to stay in China. For years, the Chinese bosses have set the dissident artist under arrest, withheld his passport. In 2011 he sat for 81 days in prison, no one knew at first where he was. The psychological terror that he experienced, he has addressed in many works. The allegations of state power: tax evasion, bigamy, pornography. “Everything offensive propaganda of the party,” says Sievernich, the most exactly followed the case of Ai Weiwei. Heads of State and Foreign Minister then sent solidarity and Empörungsbriefe to China’s government power.

Exhibition in Beijing

Despite the harassment and surveillance around the clock to let the enterprising Chinese to not prohibit the mouth, he used the Internet furiously as his forum, from Beijing, he developed large retrospectives in major museums around the world. He was not allowed to leave China, traveling exclusively in their own country, and always he was under surveillance, he could exhibit not there, the media remained silent him dead. When he in June Kunstareal “798″ actually was able to open a solo exhibition in Beijing, which was a sensation. Political observers interpret this change of course the fact that Chinese government visits are pending in Europe, there would be the image of polish something. Art has long been a diplomatic Kitt

Shortly before departure Ai Weiwei from Beijing it was then still to irritation caused by the British government. Ironically him the dissident artist, she refused – with regard to its “criminal past” in prison – a long-term visa for six months. Ai Weiwei has published the documents in Instagram. He has tried to clarify the facts in telephone conversations with the British Embassy and the immigration authorities. “But the representatives insisted that their sources are correct, and refused to give a wrong decision,” he writes. Actually Ai Weiwei wanted to fly to London in September at the opening of his exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts. Approved him were ultimately three weeks. British diplomacy? In October, China’s state and party leader Xi Jinping has announced in London.

Ai Weiwei: Artist and critic of the regime on the way to Germany – SPIEGEL ONLINE

A few weeks ago got China’s most famous contemporary artists Ai Weiwei by the Chinese government his passport back, now the dissident allowed to travel abroad again: His first goal after four years is called Germany. Ai Weiwei’s Berlin gallery Neugerriemschneider confirmed that he already sitting on the plane to Munich and there to land this afternoon. In the coming days he will travel to Berlin – his six year-old son lives there for a year. The artist had sent him for fear of the unpredictability of the Chinese regime in the German capital.

Hassle Free Ai had received the German visa at the weekend – there are problems, however, with the authorities in the United Kingdom: In order to participate in the installation and opening of his exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, which from September 19 to 13 December. is shown, Ai had requested a six-month business visa in the UK. The British authorities denied him this and instead granted only a three-week stay.

The reasons for that misstatements in the visa application: London accuses the artist of having concealed his previous offending. In a letter from the British authorities, the publications of the artist in the photo service Instagram, it says: “It is public knowledge that you have previously received a criminal conviction in China.”

According to information Ai, the facts in telephone conversations with the embassy and the immigration authorities tried to clarify. He pointed out to be “never been charged or convicted of a crime”. In the talks but the British authority on Ais arrest in 2011 and the tax evasion allegations had referred to his company Fake Design Studio. However, the artist is neither owner of the company, yet there has been a process. Ai was released after 81 days in detention at an undisclosed location again. His passport had been withheld since, until last week, he had to get it back.

Ai accuses the British authorities now face, to stand with the refusal of an extended visa to the Beijing side: Great Britain refused him his rights as ordinary citizens, and take up by “the position of those who human rights defenders have inflicted suffering”, ie . it in the statement

The Embassy in Beijing responded only with a reference to a statement by the Interior Ministry in London: “All applications will be decided upon individually and in accordance with their respective laws.” It was also pointed out that Ai Weiwei was granted a visa for the “whole period” between the travel dates that he had indicated in his application. In the letter from the immigration authorities was further pointed out that it “an exception has been made” in spite of his misstatement in the visa application.

The UK has denied the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, referring to his detention four years ago in China, a business visa.

For this reason, it only a three-week stay may be permitted.

Ai Weiwei said to be “never been charged or convicted of a crime”. The artist was arrested at the airport of Beijing 2011. The company, which operates his studio, economic crimes had been accused. At a process but it did not. After 81 days in detention at an undisclosed location Ai Weiwei was released. Since then, his passport had been withheld. A week ago he had received it.

Ai Weiwei stated that he had tried to clarify the facts in telephone conversations with the embassy and the immigration authorities. “But the representatives insisted that their sources are correct, and refused to give a wrong decision.” The British authorities had referred to the news of his arrest and the tax charges against the company.

The British Embassy in Beijing responded to the allegations only with a reference to a statement by the Interior Ministry in London. Accordingly, the application “in accordance with the respective laws” has been edited. In addition, Ai Weiwei is a Visa for “whole period” granted between the travel dates that he had indicated in his application. Despite his misstatement in the visa application therefore constitutes an exception has been made.

Ai Weiwei accused the British authorities nevertheless to have him denied his rights as ordinary citizens. UK Thus place on the side of the Chinese government. Going with the decision “the position taken those who have human rights defenders inflicted suffering,” Ai Weiwei told.

The artist wanted to open his exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts from September 19 traveling to 13 December in London. Whether he will attend the event still is unclear.

“Feels like mid-twenties” by Noah Baumbach in the cinema – RP ONLINE

Dusseldorf. In the US smart-comedy “Feels like mid-twenties” playing Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts a couple that has set up perfect in life – and gets into a crisis. A funny, yet deeply sad movie. From Philipp Holstein

It is so difficult, such a film to Turn – a funny movie, which is also very sad, this pretty smart, and yet full of affection. Noah Baumbach has succeeded and in “Chill mid-twenties” is about a pair of mid-40s, has arrived. Josh and Cornelia look great, they live in Brooklyn. He is documentarist and teaches at the university, she has been working in the film business her famous father.

You live in a fully networked Apple world the noble surfaces. In their apartment everything looks tasteful and new, yet the rooms are empty. There are hardly any traces of individuality, the biographies stored invisibly in the cloud, and the reality is presorted by Twitter and Netflix.

The time seems to stretch, the euphoria of tampering is gone, the good fortune of starting disappeared. The last time that these two people have done something for the first time, ages ago, now lives only a long while. For eight years Josh works at a factory, and when he has his father paraded the six and a half-hour rough cut its documentation says: “Very good, but seven hours too long.”

Josh and Cornelia wanted is once a child, but she pushed the decision on, they were still young, and it no longer worked somehow. Since parents have become her best friends and have little more time, they wonder whether their lives are really the life that they want to lead.

In the most bitter scene they want to surprise your friends and burst into a Party for parents and small children, to which they were not invited. Ask yourself the question, and even irony and sarcasm do not protect more

He. “I like our life as it is.” You: “Yes, we could fly to Paris tomorrow, if we wanted to.” He: “. Exactly such short notice we would indeed difficult to find an affordable flight, but yes.” You: “I know I could not simply so away from work..” He: “Maybe we should plan for travel planning one month.” You: “A month is still counted as spontaneously.”

Baumbach is even 45 years old, and in the US it is celebrated as the new Woody Allen. Ten years ago Baumbach made of his parents’ divorce a moving film, “The Squid and the Whale” he called. He turned the psychogram “Greenberg” starring Ben Stiller, he gave the daughter he has with the actress Jennifer Jason Leigh, the name Rohmer – after his idol, the French director Eric Rohmer. And he turned his life crisis film “Frances Ha”, stay away from the black and white scenes, especially those memories in which Baumbach’s new girlfriend Greta Gerwig to David Bowie’s “Modern Love” flees from the future. “Feels like mid-twenties” is his masterpiece

Josh and Cornelia eventually encounter a pair of mid-twenties, both very casual, very cool. Jamie wants to be a director, Darby manufactures ice cream. The encounter is like a fountain of youth, and especially Josh, the apparent innocence of the younger counterpart had sought to borrow. When he visited the new acquaintance and Jamie’s vast vinyl collection by looks, he says: “That’s exactly my record collection only that my CDs are..” He thinks his younger self to face, a better self. He buys a hat, as Jamie wears it, he begins to ride a bicycle -. Until the doctor forbids because of arthritis in the knee

Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts are Josh and Cornelia, and it is wonderful to see how they give their affection depending on the level of knowledge a different tint. They are a little reminiscent Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn as the film with its fast and snappy dialogue has anything of a screwball comedy. Adam Driver and Amanda Seyfried play Jamie and Darbie, they float with half-closed eyes through the film, and Adam Driver has the series “Girls” the most fascinating Nervensäge Hollywood. But the calculation with which he met Josh’s father, from whom he hopes to promote: With a pirouette he rises from his chair, palms like the Dalai puts together Lama and bows

As the elderly couple. realize how ridiculous it looks when being young, is a love story from the comedy. The older you get, the better you used to be, that is the self-deception of age. Josh and Cornelia will share their self-confidence, destroy the Picture of Dorian Gray and make friends with her reflection. Basically, this is an essay about existential uncertainty and how to be their Lord. From lifestyle is life, from wool will be. Noah Baumbach is a sociologist and philosopher, and because he likes the people and his characters anyway, he shows them the way to the serenity. This morning feels at its best, and yesterday is not important

“Feels like mid-twenties” with Ben Stiller: smartest comedy of the summer – SPIEGEL ONLINE

Fascinated looks the mid-forties to the Josh expansive music collection twentysomethings Jamie. “That’s just like my music collection!” He pauses briefly. “Where I have everything on CD ‘.”

Actually should Jamie (Adam Driver) and Josh (Ben Stiller) be a stranger, eventually the age difference is considerable. He discovers But the more time spent with Josh Jamie, the more common interests. This fits all the better, as it is with Josh’s peers friends (Maria Dizzia and Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz) exactly behaves the other way around: They still get in the final meters children, which is why the childless Josh and his wife Cornelia (Naomi Watts ) them feel as foreign as never before. Although the two have come to terms with the fact that they can not have children – so it emphasizes any case Cornelia. But before they face the painful question of why her life still feels so empty, are Jamie and his wife Darby (Amanda Seyfried) on the spot. With the young hipsters – he is a documentary filmmaker, she runs a small ice cream factory – get Josh and Cornelia being amazed not get out. Since the apartment of the young couple – full mechanical typewriters, vinyl records and VHS tapes (“Everything that we have thrown out years ago,” says Cornelia amazed). As are their leisure activities – they play equally enthusiastic board games as they visit weekend seminars where common hallucinogenic fashionable drug ayahuasca is taken. And there is their generally relaxed attitude towards the world – as the four one evening can not remember the word marzipan, Josh wants to get his smartphone to google it. But Jamie and Darby stop him: “Let’s just do not know.”

Behind the vintage facade

The strained pop culture fan who threatens to fall slowly from the time, Ben Stiller has ever played: in “Greenberg” (2010 ), his first film, directed by Noah Baumbach. But “Greenberg” was a strange transition film for Stiller as for Baumbach. The role of the eponymous annoying Grant moth did not fit right to Stiller, and the new, comedic tone that Baumbach to its bulky masterpieces “The Squid and the Whale” (2005) and “Margot at the Wedding” (2007) tried also failed.

The best thing about “Greenberg” is in retrospect probably that Baumbach while shooting his partner Greta Gerwig met, with whom he next the wonderful city dwellers comedy “Frances Ha” wrote and directed her in the lead role – not a commercial, but a creative breakthrough, with Baumbach showed that he can evoke more emotion than pity, dismay and acute Fremdscham.

charmed the empathy and exhilaration, with the “Francis Ha,” is felt as an echo in “Chill mid-twenties”. Nevertheless Baumbach’s eighth film is uneven compact and directly funnier. Skillfully made use Baumbach changing sources of humor, sometimes it is the wit of the dialogue, sometimes a slapstick deposit, even the silliness of a prop – about the small Fedora, the Josh buys. (Comment of his friends: “You are an old man with a hat!”)

With two pairs in different phases of life at the center Baumbach can examine two worlds on their deformation to, and he does so with a pointedly awareness that well is amusing as revealing.

The younger generation appears here initially harmless-hedonistic, but behind the vintage facade of relentless desire hides for self-promotion. The older generation has been concentrating established in their relative prosperity without them would be mentally similarly well positioned as it is substantive. The umbilical cord of the parents, their own children, the career change – all of which has displaced them and instead buy Apple products.

Is a life model better than the other? Indeed Baumbach reveals distinct sympathies, as changed the dynamics between the two pairs, because Josh and Jamie suddenly professionally in competition with each other. But that assumes “Feels like mid-twenties” neither his wit – yet it does not release a as a spectator it to face up to the film of the unpleasant question: Can I have it actually better with aging there? Wiser will not entertain this summer.

“Paper Towns” with Cara Delevingne: Supermodel, super role – SPIEGEL ONLINE

How do you know that one has landed in a story by John Green? As would be, firstly, the fact that each of the characters has a very nerdy special interest: The last words of famous personalities (Miles holder “Looking for Alaska”); the novel “A stately suffering” (Hazel Grace from “Fate is a lousy traitor”); Walt Whitman (Margo Roth Spiegelman from “Paper Towns”), or, well, Margo Roth Spiegelman (Quentin Jacobsen from “Paper Towns”).

And secondly you can see it in mind that these stories on a never-never cynical, never-never-ironic way tell something about the big issues of life, ie especially about love. The story “Paper Towns” – Greens third novel and the second, which was made into a film – tells example of why every love story – the happy – a disappointment are. Because Quentin (Nat Wolff, Isaac from “Fate is a lousy traitor”) is growing in the faith quite understandable on to live next to the most perfect beings in the world. What a miracle! Of all the houses in all the suburbs near all the cities of all countries the family Spiegelman’s just pulled in this one house, directly across from him. Together with her daughter, Margo Roth Spiegelman.

But so wondrously fate has led them along, so unmercifully it separates them again. Be While Margo over the years is getting wilder and more unpredictable and beautiful, Quentin growing the sort Young zoom, which do not have a car and are therefore driven by the parent to school and their friends either never had a girlfriend (making it one Friend Ben meant), or have one, but they can never bring back home because their parents are hoarding the world’s largest collection of black Santas (so is his other friend radar meant).

If you believe the relationship between Quentin and Margo into words, so one would probably say: Quentin is madly in love with Margo. And Margo is well disposed toward Quentin. To perform a non-relationship. At least until one night when Margo knocks on Quentin’s window. She wants to take revenge on her unfaithful ex and needs for next getaway car, spray paint and fresh fish and a getaway driver, for no one better suited than its most loyal admirers.

From Ideal for individual

After that night Margo is not only no longer in school, but also do not want to come home. she is gone. And has nothing left except clueless friends, something to disinterested parents and some hints – of which Quentin believes soon realize that their destiny is to lead him to Margo’s hideout.

Quentin follows track to track as if the love of a scavenger hunt. Only that in the end it is no longer a question of whether he now finds his treasure or not. But much more about what Quentin experienced on the road itself. There was a time when he believed that every human being experiences a miracle in his life, and that his miracle is, Margo Roth Spiegelman know.

Actually, however, is the miracle of this story that Quentin suddenly goes to parties and cross travels with his friends throughout the country and dances on the prom and that Margo Roth Spiegelman is not the perfect miracle for which he she has held, but at the same time less and more. A person, as multi-faceted and lively and non-ideal as people are now once namely.

For the role of Margo Roth Spiegelman there would therefore be no more perfect actress to as Cara Delevingne, the model, the girlfriend of singer St. Vincent, the Instagram icon, from everyone already has a picture. And if it is only that, you can not conceive in the first few minutes of the film, how anyone can look so pretty. Other models may have wind machines Hairstyles, Cara Delevingne looks as if made their hair for it to flutter in the wind at night.

Then a habituation effect and Cara Delevingne becomes an actress under the other, which makes the viewer sympathize wisely how changes Quentin’s perception of Margo. As it is from an ideal to the individual.

How do you recognize most clearly that one has landed in a story by John Green? There are only complex characters, even if you sometimes need a little time to realize that they are.
