Although Hogwarts is in England and Harry lived in London, much of the series is inspired by Edinburgh, Scotland, which is where Rowling lives.

The Dementors were based off of Rowling’s experience with depression. She once described it as “that cold absence of feeling—that really hollowed out feeling. That’s what Dementors are.”

Rowling created Quidditch after having a big fight with a now ex-boyfriend. She said she doesn’t remember the connection between the fight and the game except that maybe “in my deepest, darkest soul I would quite like to see him hit by a bludger.”

The Harry Potter movies could have been a lot different. Before an argument with Rowling, Steven Spielberg was supposed to direct the first movie, and he wanted Haley Joel Osment to play Harry.
