    JK Rowling's inspiration
    In 1990, while on a four-hour delayed train journey, the idea of a story of a boy attending a witchcraft school "fully formed" in his mind. In December Rowling's mother Anne died of multiple sclerosis. Rowling was writing Harry Potter at the time and had never told her mother about it. Her mother's death greatly affected Rowling's writing, and she channeled her own feelings of loss by writing about Harry's own feelings of loss in greater detail in the first book.

    The things I like about JK. Rowling
    The things I like about JK Rowling is his way of writing, the magical worlds he has been able to create with all the stories he has created from his imagination and the way he has to make the characters deep, real and some way in which you identify with them, in addition to their funny, unique and unforgettable characters with emblematic phrases, and how that real world makes them feel, as well as being a very strong person who has often suffered many times and has always risen.
