For each Fan "Harry Potter" to visit places that have become inspiration from Joan Rowling when creating saga - real happiness. True, as it turned out, not all points that are traditionally considered involved in the emergence of a magical world are actually such.
Last week, the writer arranged a whole virtual excursion in Twitter, having told about the places in which Ptterian was created, and some of them fans were definitely heard for the first time. Rowling admitted that he was thinking of "place on its website a section of all alleged sources of inspiration", and also added that to call the Harry Potter's origin to the Edinburgh cafe The Elephant House erroneously.
I have written books for several years before appeared in this cafe!
- noticed Joan.
I WAS Thinking of Putting a Section On My Website ABOUT ALL THE ALLEGED INSPIRATIONS AND BIRTHPLACES OF POTTER. I'd Been Writing Potter for Sevel Years Beefore I Ever Set Foot in This Cafe, So It's Not The Birthplace, But I * Did * Write In There SO WE'LL Let Them Off! https://t.co/xdoslavbizl.

According to the writer, the true place of birth is "Harry Potter" - where she first wrote the lines of the future book.
I shot a room in an apartment over the sportswear. The first Hogwarts bricks were laid in the apartment in Clapham,
- she admitted.
True, if you determine the place where Saga originated, at the time of the initial idea, it turns out that the magic world appeared on the train of Manchester - London. Also, Rowling noted that her thought invariably surprises, as if, when creating Hogwarts, she was directly inspired by beautiful places in which he visited, because it was not.
By the way, Manchester became a place due to which Quidditch appeared. The writer back in 1991 spent the night at the local hotel and the next morning came up with the legendary game. True, what events it came across it, she silent.
I Sometimes Hear Hogwarts Was Based on One or Other Of Edinburgh's Schools, But That's 100% False, Too. Hogwarts Was Created Long Before I Clapped Eyes On Any Ofe! I Did Finish Hallows In The Balmoral, Though, & I Can't Lie, I'd Rate It A SMidge Higher Than The Bournville. pic.twitter.com/evt0ttqfyh.

It turned out that Rowling also has a favorite among false facts about attractions related to Harry Potter. When one of the fans noticed that in the Edinburgh round, a parking meter could be seen in the Saga places, which was used during the writing of the final "Potterians", the writer replied:
My favorite nonsense is still this. I do not know how to drive.
It seems that the fans have received reliable information about all the places important for the magic world, but it is possible that the author and in the future will find than they surprise them.
