For years, fans of the beloved"Harry Potter" franchise have flocked to Edinburgh, Scotland, to visit the sites where author J.K. Rowling had reportedly started writing the series.
But now, Rowling has revealed Edinburgh is actually not where the writing of the boy who lived began."I was renting a room in a flat over what was then a sports shop," Rowling said on Twitter, with an image of where she resided at the time of writing the first book."The first bricks of Hogwarts were laid in a flat in Clapham Junction."And fans were -- to borrow from the books -- were essentially petrified.

Rowling May 21, 2020 However, she said, the moment where she had the idea for the series itself was while she was riding on a train."If you define the birthplace of Harry Potter as the moment when I had the initial idea, then it was a Manchester-London train," Rowling tweeted. "But I'm perennially amused by the idea that Hogwarts was directly inspired by beautiful places I saw or visited, because it's so far from the truth.
— J.K. Rowling May 21, 2020 She did acknowledge that she wrote in a cafe in Rua Santa Catarina, Portugal. "If it cheers up the people who're disappointed about the bookshop in Oporto, I wrote in here sometimes," she wrote."This was probably the most beautiful café I ever wrote in, actually."Rowling also said that rumors around her inspiration for Hogwarts itself miss the mark as well.
— J.K. Rowling May 21, 2020 Unfortunately, when it comes to any spoilers about upcoming work, Dumbledore voiced disappointment best:"Alas, earwax."
