Kinda random ideas for now. Sandy Georgia (Talk)  16:15, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
 * We have the pronunciation of her name in Smith; no need to introduce a new source.
 * In the first para, work in screenwriter and producer on films, and other Harry Potter-related books for charity. That is, attempt to better cover other stuff we have listed in Bibliography and Filmography, albeit briefly.
 * In the second para, what high school she attended is relatively important, but the defining event in her life and thematic in her books (death) is her mother and her mother's death.
 * The location of her re-marriage is relatively insignificant.
 * I don't believe her short first marriage warrants attention in the lead; there is so much more to be said about her, without dragging him in to the most read part of the article. In fact, what is there now is not bad: It covers the crucial early life events: death of her mother, divorce, single parenthood, relative poverty ...
 * I have never found a good or current source for the 500 million; all we have is as of 2018 according to Bloomsbury.
 * Volant Charitable Trust is on the same footing as Lumos.
 * Awards and honours aren't covered.
 * Perhaps "medical causes" rather than "medical problems", but I'm not sure this is true: Rowling's giving centres on medical problems ... ... medical is one of her causes, but her main thrust is as explained in the Philanthropy section re Volant: "alleviate social deprivation, with a particular emphasis on supporting women, children and young people at risk" ... everything relates back to her time as a single mother on welfare, and the death of her own mother.
