Until a few years ago, no one had heard of Harry Potter, the young wizard and hero of the children’s book Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The writer, J K Rowling had already written several stories and books, but this was the first book that was published. She got the idea for the story of a wizard at magic school while she was travelling on a train to London. By the time the train reached King’s Cross station, she had invented most of the characters. When the book was published in 1997, no one had imagined it would be such a tremendous 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.
