Baby joy for Potter author

Harry Potter author J K Rowling has given birth to a boy.

The baby - named David Gordon Rowling Murray - was born at the new Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh.

Rowling's publicist Nicky Stonehill said: "Both mother and baby are doing well."

Ms Stonehill would not give any further details, but confirmed Rowling and the baby - her second child - had been released from hospital.

Rowling, one of Britain's wealthiest women, already has a daughter, Jessica, from a previous marriage.

The writer split from Portuguese Jorges Arantes shortly after the birth.

Rowling, 37, married Dr Neil Murray at a secret Boxing day ceremony in 2001 at their home in Aberfeldy, Perthshire.

The birth comes just three months before the eagerly awaited fifth instalment of the boy wizard's adventures hits bookshelves.

Harry Potter And The Order of the Phoenix will be published on June 21.
