J. K. Rowling: She reveals fans the birthplace of "Harry Potter"

J.K. Rowling (54, "Harry Potter") as the creator of "Harry Potter" is used to being confronted with rumors, half-truths and speculations about the origin of her characters and stories. Via Twitter However, she does dispel a myth: The Café Elephant House in London is not the birthplace of her glorious magician. "I have already considered creating a separate area on my homepage for all of Potter's alleged inspiration and places of birth," she writes in the tweet.

This is Potter's real birthplace

Rowling also reveals the "true birthplace of Harry Potter". At least then, she writes in the associated tweet"if you understand 'place of birth' as ​​the place where I first put the pen on paper." She had written in the apartment above a sports shop in London for years before she even entered the Elephant House for the first time, even if she had put some things on paper there.

The bestselling author herself considers "a train between Manchester and London" to be the birthplace of Harry Potter. Here she had the idea for the first time, as she reveals in the tweet. She writes that she "very amuses the idea that Hogwarts is directly inspired by places I've seen" because "it's so far from the truth." Perhaps Rowling's homepage will soon come up with the section of myths and rumors surrounding the creation of Harry Potter that she mentioned.
