Since the end of the 20th century, Harry Potter, the young
wizard and hero of the children’s book Harry Potter and
the Philosopher’s Stone has become the most favourite
character for the children all over the world. J.K.Rowling,
the author of the book, had already written several stories and books,
but this was her first book that was published. By that time, she had
been turned down 12 times by publishers. Finally, in 1997, her request was accepted.
She got the idea for the story of a wizard at magic school while she was travelling on
a train to London. Before the train reached King’s Cross station, most of the characters
had been invented. No one imagined that it would be such a huge success, but it
quickly became a bestseller. While millions of young readers in many countries were
enjoying her first Harry Potter book, J.K.Rowling was thinking of ideas for the next book
in this incredibly popular series.
