David Gordon Rowling Murray was born on Sunday afternoon at the New Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh, according to Rowling's spokeswoman Nicky Stonehill.

Rowling, one of Britain's wealthiest women, already has a 10-year-old daughter from her first marriage. She married her second husband Neil Murray two years ago.

The birth comes just three months before the much anticipated fifth instalment of the Harry Potter series. "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" will be published on June 21.
