Best Answer

J.K. Rowling got her idea for Harry while she was on a train heading to Scotland to teach English. She got the idea for Hagrid when she would go to a pub, and this tall hairy person would come on his motorcycle, walk into the pub, and start talkng about his flower garden. How she came up with the dementors. She had just had her first child ,Jessica, and was being verbaly abused by her ex-husband. She was alone, in pain and thought she would never be happy again, that all the joy in the world left. She modeled Hermione after herself. She had gotten the name from a Shakespere play. Well, that's just a few!!
