She came up with the idea of the first Harry Potter book on a train. She didnt want to ask a stranger if she could borrow a pen, so she waited, and as soon as she got home J.K Rowling started writing.

JK Rowling started writing the first book in the Harry Potter series, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" (published in the U.S. as "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"), in 1990 while on a delayed train. She spent the next few years developing the story and characters before it was published in 1997.

JK Rowling started to write Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on a napkin in 1990. It was published in 1997. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released on July 21, 2007. (I was at a release party, it was super fun!)

Harry was born in 1980, the first book takes place mostly in 1991/1992 the last book takes place in 1997/1998, and the epilogue takes place in 2016.

Probably way more dates than you wanted, but now you have them, once I get started talking about Harry Potter I can't stop!
