14. Harry Potter , the fictional character, is a boy wizard created by British author J.K. Rowling. His coming-of-age exploits were the subject of seven enormously popular novels (1997–2007), which were adapted into eight films (2001–11); a play and a book of its script appeared in 2016..

3. J.K. Rowling first had the idea for Harry Potter while delayed on a train travelling from Manchester to London King’s Cross in 1990. She wrote mostly in longhand on scraps of paper..

13. She arrived in Edinburgh in 1993 with three chapters of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in her suitcase. By now she had a baby daughter, Jessica, but she continued to write in every spare moment she could find..

2. After finishing the first book and whilst training as a teacher, Harry Potter was accepted for publication by Bloomsbury after being rejected by 12 other publishers!.
