Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Jo conceived the idea of Harry Potter in 1990 while sitting on a delayed train from Manchester to London King’s Cross. Over the next five years, she began to map out all seven books of the series. She wrote mostly in longhand and gradually built up a mass of notes, many of which were scribbled on odd scraps of paper.

Detailed explanation-2: -"The idea that we could have a child who escapes from the confines of the adult world and goes somewhere where he has power, both literally and metaphorically, really appealed to me” stated Rowling in an interview. This was the basis of Rowling’s belief when she started writing a story of a young hero.

Detailed explanation-3: -Rowling said she has been asked for years if she ever dreams she is in the boy wizard’s world. “The answer was ‘no’ until a few nights ago, when I had an epic dream in which I was, simultaneously, Harry and the narrator, ‘’ she wrote.

Detailed explanation-4: -J.K. Rowling said the claim was completely untrue. “I am saddened that yet another claim has been made that I have taken material from another source to write Harry, ‘’ she said.
