  This theory doesn't hold very much water, but it's still fun to think about. Some readers have thought that J.K. Rowling may actually be Rita Skeeter, everyone's favorite skeezy wizard journalist. In this theory, Skeeter, angry at the wizarding world and fired from her job at The Daily Prophet, decides to move into the muggle world and expose wizards once and for all by writing the Harry Potter series, revealing everything that the Ministry spent so long trying to hide. However, her plan backfired, as the muggle world took the story as fiction and her goals of revenge fizzled as she embraced the fame and riches that her true story brought her. In another, similar theory, Rowling is again from the wizarding world, telling Harry's true story, only this time the author is a half-blood who chose to turn her back on magic in order to make money. Because muggles assumed the story was fiction, the wizarding world was powerless to do anything to stop her without exposing themselves.
