J.K. Rowling got the idea for Harry Potter in 1990 while on a delayed train from Manchester to London. The character of Harry Potter and the story of a young wizard attending a school of magic came to her during the journey. She began writing the series in 1991, drawing inspiration from her own experiences and surroundings.

She was traveling back to London on her own on a crowded train. That's when the idea for Harry Potter just fell into her head.

In 2012 a remake of the film "Troll" will bring forward a Harry Potter, Jr., first conceived by in 1985 by Hollywood Writer Ed Naha.

Rowling admitted she may have seen the film and the character Harry Potter, Jr., as was reported in the British Press.

To date there has been no clear explanation for the similarity between the earlier US-made production, "Troll", featuring a teenage boy named Harry Potter, Jr., who encounters a world of trolls, hobgoblins, and witchery, and the works of J.K. Rowlings bearing the same name and general theme.

In 1990, while JKR was on a four-hour-delayed train trip from Manchester to London, the idea for a story of a young boy attending a school of wizardry "came fully formed" into her mind. "I really don't know where the idea came from", she told the Boston Globe, "It started with Harry, then all these characters and situations came flooding into my head." When she had reached her Clapham Junction flat, she began to write immediately.

It came to her in a sort of vision/dream. Her mother often told her that when the time was right, she would be successful and the inspiration would come to her.
