Answer: Joanne Kathleen Rowling

J.K Rowling wrote 'Harry Potter' and is probably one of the most famous authors around! She was born on 31st July 1965. Suprisingly, Kathleen isn't actually part of her real name - she has no middle name! Her publishers told her that boys might not buy a book by a female author so told her to use initials instead. So she chose the name Kathleen from her paternal grandmother's side (her father's mother).

Reptiles lay eggs; mammals give birth to live young.
Rebtiles are cold blooded whereas mammals have warm blood.
Reptiles tend to have scaly skin while mammals tend to have fur.

Of course there are exceptions. The duck-billed platypus, for instance, lays eggs, but that was not confirmed until 1884.

Answer: 33

Consonants are all the letters of the alphabet except A, E, I, O and U, which are vowels. How many consonants are in your name, I wonder?

But, as kimbeaty pointed out, there is another vowel in that sentence that I have not included as it's quite an odd prospect - that Y is in fact a vowel.

"Y as a Vowel

Y is a vowel when it comes anywhere in a word other than the beginning.

As a vowel, y has no sound of its own. It borrows sounds from the vowels e and i:

y as a long e: candy, Polly
y as a long i: cry, type
y as a short i: gym, pyramid
y as an e and an i in the same word: dynasty, mystery"
