J.K.Rowling - Insights on Creating Harry Potter world

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

It's always fascinating seeing how a writer works, and how much reworking is necessary, long before the final book is published.

[@MelanieWass]

Künstlerin-DAB1995 very true. Behind every successful author is an awful lot of thinking, preparation and work. Thanks for stopping by.

I don't think anyone other than real potter heads can understand, how astonishing and overwhelming it is to see all those paper works, those nitty gritty details she scribbled on the diaries... Awesome beyond words.

[@twiss9341]

Yeah I’m starting the reading and writing journey and as a noob, it appears to me the story Harry Potter is very cherished by its fans. It’s really cool to see

Yes, it is surprising and encouraging to see how many writers also enjoy art.

It amazes me when people think they are going to write a masterpiece compare it to Harry Potter books and want it done in 6 months. It can take years.

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

Yes, I feel less guilty for spending so much time on my own stuff now. Other writers also took years on their work as well.

[@oc2538]

This really is fascinating and I love that she's very scattered. And she's actually really good at sketching. Her professor Sprout is awesome.

"Its going to be a book for obessives" well yeah, thats me... I spend hours of researching just to find out about the tiniest details that i dont even need to know...

[@HarCoolReviews]

Ok 👍

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

Yes! I love doing that.

[@canadianravenbrook]

I'm grateful for the joy and love and friendship she added to my childhood and life. That's an understatement. An exceptional contribution to so many generations of people. To the world. A legacy.

[@OngoGablogian185]

That's a beautiful testimony. We forget the power of words too easily these days.

[@JN-wr9he]

It was the beginning of the end. The infantilisation of adults. The mind-numbing escapism.

[@carsh5218]

I can’t believe she had like four hundred minds for her characters for the book. The bright Albus Dumbledore and the dazed Rubeus Hagrid’s mind came from this lady and all the other people from the wizarding world. Wow

[@moonbread2334]

"it's a book for obsessives" well that explains a lot for me 😍 that's EXACTLY what I did with HP :))

[@LL-to8rf]

One of the greatest writers to ever live. So grateful to JK for creating the universe of HP - without her, none of the movies would have been possible, and none of the actors would have been known! Definitely once in a lifetime writer, what a mind!!!

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

I just picked up the books recently, and I realised just how happy these books make me. This series has brought such joy to so many.

[@marianpyter5948]

I dont give a shit about movies tbh - they are poor in detail and full of useless stuff, directed (maybe except for HP2 and HP3) by people who did not even care to read the books: "Did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?" Dumbldore asked calmly' being the best example Cast is avergage, some characters are great - Bellatrix, McGonagall, prof Umbridge, Malfoy, three main characters; while others suck completely - You-Know-Who, Moody, 2nd Dumbledore, Snape

[@lordredman6137]

[@LaxmiDevi-ey1rk]

From India the JK Rowling madam nicely giving answers you're a brave woman you are a good writer I can't saying any thing more God is given good gift God bless you madam

[@shellahederah914]

Feels amazing to see someone working the same way I was doing it for over a decade... Writing is such a lonely work, and watch someone like her in the same situation make me feel good. I would love to talk with her and ask her about tips and tricks, workflow, decision making, structure, psicologic fantasies...

[@MrParkerman6]

If it is loney you are NOT doing it right. If you are passionate about something - it NEVER gets boring or lonely!

[@evrimpekaslan]

And she can draw, too... 👏👍🏻👏🏻

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

It is such a great combination.

[@orianswordsberg7963]

Wow, that is pretty fascinating, it took her five years to write the first book, I myself working on my own novel, had no idea the amount of patience you must have and how long it can actually make to write a novel.

[@ajithwijegunarathna2783]

i just can't believe she created that world from the tiniest umbridge's pen to the deathly hallows....

[@Musicienne-DAB1995]

Yes, it is pretty amazing.

[@martaspizewska347]

It amazes me that there are people like this. Imagine creating a whole new world, whole new theory of living. Like horcrux, all these monsters, places, plots and actual characters. You have to be gifted, have something incredible in your mind to be able to make this up! How did she come up with that? What kind of mind does she have to have to build something like this? My brain doesnt actually understand how a person can wrote all of this, create it. Thats mesmerizing.

[@JN-wr9he]

You have to be the kind of person that lives inside their head. Comes at a price all too often.

[@shiningstar3774]

Jesus loves you. If you repent of your sins and give your life to Him: He will fill you with love, give you happiness in your life, and bless you. The next time that you feel sick or worried or scared, ask Jesus into your heart and your life will get better. Videos will never fill the void inside of you, but Jesus will if you give your life to Him. He will love you, keep you company, and answer your questions. He is real and a lot of the time He will speak to you through your conscience. God is love and everything good comes from Him. Everything good in the world comes from love. Romantic love, familial love, friendship, the love you feel for your hobbies, the love you have for your favorite music, favorite food, favorite movie, etc. All of it comes from God. Without love there is no point to life. It is what we all live for and it is what we were all made for, but the devil tries to ruin everything with fear, stress, worry, etc. Try to get to know God. He is truly worth worshipping.

Her inspiration in an honor to Bewitched and the people that made and created it. And Inspiration is needed to keep great stories and entertainment coming for us and for future generations! J.K Rowling invented the synonym "Muggle" rather than using the original term of "Mortal"-as used in Bewitched-to stop her readers from knowing that she got ideas from Bewitched-she wanted her readers to think that she came up with every idea in her books completely on her own, rather than admitting that she was inspired by great works, such as Bewitched-that is where she made her mistake!

Link I love Harry Potter and have a lot of nostalgia for it but pretty much nothing about the world makes sense once you actually put some thought into it. From economics, over politics all the way to the educational system and the magic itself. It works well enough to suspend your disbelief and relish in the whimsical nature of it all, especially at a young age but it's far from deep or complex.

[@Teebiscuit12345]

@@amysteriousviewer3772 True, but I never considered it bad, especially now that so many Harry Potter ripoffs have proved themselves much worse.

[@amysteriousviewer3772]

Link I agree. The world worked well for the story and you never think about these things when reading the books. What bothers me is when Rowling claims to have "every little detail" figured out and acts as though she created this incredibly rich and thought out lore when that's clearly not the case. It's quite evident in the books that she made up a lot of the specifics of the world as she went along, regardless if they made sense or worked within the established canon, with certain aspects only being introduced when they became relevant to the story.

@@naisho0_ Hahaha Read anything from King Arthur to Macbeth to Through the Looking Glass to The Colour of Magic. 'World Building' is a very contemporary term. Most fantasy in English is inconsistent and doesn't make any sense. I think the South Americans have a genre called 'Magical Realism' which strives to bridge the gap and make magic believable. The US Americans have always tried to make fantasy where the world is structured in a coherent if not believable way. From Wizard of Oz to Dune to Star Wars. The English, like it's nonsensical political structure, prefer worlds that don't make any sense.
