1990年，25岁的JK罗琳在一次晚点4小时的火车旅途中想到了《哈利波特》的灵感。

She started writing the first book that evening, but it took her years to actually finish it. While working as a secretary for the London office of Amnesty International, Rowling was fired for daydreaming too much about Harry Potter and her severance check would help her focus on writing for the next few years.

在那天晚上她开始写第一本书，但她花了好几年才完成这本书。罗琳曾经在国际特赦组织的伦敦办事处当秘书，但是因为总在构思《哈利波特》的故事而被炒了鱿鱼，这其实让她在接下来的几年可以专注于写作。

During these years, she got married, had a daughter, got divorced, and was diagnosed with clinical depression before finally finishing the book in 1995. It was published in 1997。
在这些年里，她结了婚，有了一个女儿，又离了婚，还被诊断出患有抑郁症，最终她在1995年完成了她的作品，于1997年出版。
