Task 2: An Interview with J.K. Rowling

Q: How did you get the idea for Harry 1 Potter?

A: I was traveling on a train between Manchester and London and the idea for Harry just fell into my head. At that point it was essentially 2 the idea for a body who didn’t know he was a wizard.

Q: Did you always plan to write Harry’s story in more than one book? If so, how many?

A: I always conceived 3 it as a seven-book series because I decided 4 that it would take seven years,   from age eleven to seventeen, inclusive 5, to train as a wizard, and each of the books would deal with one year of Harry’s life at the school.

Q: Any clues about the next book?

A: I don’t want to i\give anything away, but I tell you that the books are getting darker. Harry’s going to have quite a bit to deal with as he gets older. Sorry if they get too scary!

Q: Of the many things you must have heard people say about Harry Potter, what are some of your favorites?

A: My very favorite was from a twelve-year-old Scottish girl who came to hear me read at the Edinburgh book festival. At the end of the festival, the queue for signing was very long. When the girl finally reached me, she said, “I didn’t WANT there to be so many people here, because this is MY books!” That is exactly how I feel about my favorite books. Nobody else has a right to know them; let alone like them!
