Sherlock Holmes as well, still making big movies.
There is a book phenomenon that's making as big a modern impact as Rowling though, and that's the Marvel comic book movies.

It's also worth mentioning the impact Shakespeare had on the English language, although they weren't written as books.

The Chronicles of Narnia were written between 1950 and 1956. Lord of the Rings was huge even before Peter Jackson. This is, after all, r/books
