J.K. Rowling's journey to creating Harry Potter is a remarkable story of persistence and creativity. The idea for Harry Potter famously came to her in 1990 while she was on a delayed train from Manchester to London. As the story began to take shape in her mind, she didn’t have a pen or paper immediately at hand, so she had to visualize and memorize much of it until she could jot it down. Rowling later wrote significant portions of the series using whatever materials were available to her, including scraps of paper, napkins, and eventually countless notebooks. Her early drafts were full of hand-drawn family trees, timelines, and character sketches as she developed the intricate wizarding world. During the seven years it took her to complete the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, Rowling faced various challenges, including the death of her mother and financial struggles. At one point, she wrote in cafes, carrying her daughter in a stroller, because it was cheaper to heat the cafe than her apartment. Her relentless dedication turned her notes and napkin scribbles into one of the most beloved series in literary history, captivating millions worldwide #History #books #storytime #jkrowling #memories #famous #written #knowledge #paper #napkin #london - @onlyright2support_
