Best Answer

J.K. Rowling came up with the idea for Harry Potter while on a delayed train from Manchester to London in 1990. The character of Harry Potter suddenly came to her, complete with his glasses, lightning bolt scar, and owl companion. She spent the next five years outlining the seven-book series before publishing the first book in 1997.

JK Rowling was on a train, heading towards King's Cross Station, when the idea of Harry Potter "simply fell in her head." From then on, she planned out the series and began to write it soon after.
