Rowling on the Creation of Harry Potter
Rowling's inspiration for Harry Potter was partly due to her mother's death. After her mother's death, she began her initial "wild thoughts" on the train from Manchester to London. The Mirror of Erised in Sorcerer's Stone was written in memory of his mother. Harry saw his deceased parents through the mirror, reflecting Rowling's desire to see her mother again. There were many changes between Rowling's first draft and final draft. For example, in the first draft, Lupin and Tonks survived. In the final draft, she changed the ending and made the Lupin couple "sacrifice" to echo the story of the Potter couple's sacrifice, so that the two Wizarding Wars ended with children who lost their parents not long after they were born. In the first draft of The Sorcerer's Stone, Rowling had designed Harry's first Quidditch match to have Hedwig help her master catch the Snitch. However, the editor thought it was against the rules and unreasonable, so Rowling changed the plot to Harry 'catching' the Snitch with his mouth. This change also foreshadowed Harry's use of a kiss to open the Snitch and retrieve the Lifestone in Deathly Hallows. Rowling chose King's Cross Station as the place where the young wizards boarded the Hogwarts train because her parents had met there. They had been serving in the Royal Navy and were taking a ride from here to Wales (where Hogwarts was located). She had also allowed Harry and Ginny to meet here for the first time. Rowling expressed her regret at not controlling the length of Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix. In Goblet of Fire, she spent too much time writing about Hermione fighting for the freedom of the house-elves. Although it made Hermione's character more three-dimensional and expressed her political views, it deviated from the main story. She supported the removal of the relevant plot in the movie. What happened in St. Mungo's Hospital for Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Order of the Phoenix, she thought she had written one chapter but ended up writing two. The Dark Mark in Goblet of Fire was her most difficult chapter. It was full of plot. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was not enough. Everyone, please click to read the novel!
