In 1990, a new image arose in the mind of Joan (the author of Harry Potter): a wizard boy who later became famous all over the world. This character after a while made her rich and famous. And it all started with a crowded train…

History of Creation

During the trip, the imagined image became more and more distinct. The girl could not write down her thoughts. Upon returning home, work began on the first book about the young wizard.

This year, JK Rowling's mother dies, who never found out about her daughter's intention. After that, a scene was invented where Harry Potter sees his father and mother in the magic mirror of Erinage. Joan's marriage ended in divorce, but she left behind a young daughter.

Having moved to Edinburgh, the writer continues to work on the book. In the evenings, she visited a small cafe and wrote new chapters over a cup of tea. If there were not enough sheets, she used paper napkins. Today, the establishment has a commemorative plaque, and the owner wants to create a museum for the young wizard. After all, this is where the main characters were born."Harry Potter".

The first book was published only in 1996, although it was completed a year earlier. The delay was caused by the fact that the publisher did not accept it for publication. But now JK Rowling is the richest writer. She has a large family with three children. Despite the fact that the epic is completed, the author hopes to return to Harry Potter in the future.

There the guy finds friends, and gets acquainted with the inhabitants of the Forbidden Forest and Hogwarts Castle. In each part, the boy fights the evil sorcerer and his minions.
