J.K Rowling: Quidditch - ‘was invented in a small hotel in Manchester after a row with my then boyfriend. I had been pondering the things that hold a society together, cause it to congregate and signify its particular character and knew I needed a sport. It infuriates men, in my experience (why is the Snitch so valuable etc), which is quite satisfying given my state of mind when I invented it.’
Sneak Peek At J.K. Rowling’s Annotated ‘Philosopher’s Stone’
Earlier this month it was announced that J.K. Rowling was placing a first edition annotated copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone up for auction.
New photos of the book released today depict some amazing notes written by the author within her debut novel.
The Guardian shared three pages from inside this extremely rare charity item. In addition to the new notes, we also see a sketch of baby Harry in his carriage sitting out front Number Four Privet Drive.

“I wrote the book … in snatched hours, in clattering cafés or in the dead of night … The story of how I wrote Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is written invisibly on every page, legible only to me. Sixteen years after it was published, the memories are as vivid as ever as I turn these pages.” - JK Rowling
There something to be said about revisiting your old work. I don’t think we do it enough. Personally, I like to focus on the present and only return to the past if absolutely needed.
The good challenge is now.
