Amalgamation of the Creation and the Creator: Aspects of Rowling’s life in the Harry Potter series

Abstract

We can find more than a few aspects of Rowling‘s life in the Harry Potter books. A few characters, objects, and places in the books are cited chronologically, reflecting Joanne‘s lifetime. Quid ditch is a popular wizarding game play. Just to start with, we can point out that the place where J.K.‘s parents gathered for the first time was the same for Harry and his best friends, Ron and Hermione. It was the train departure from the King‘s Cross Station. Unquestionably, Mr. and Mrs. Rowling did not depart from the Platform nine and three quarters like Harry and his friends. Anne and Peter Rowling wanted their children (Joanne and her sister Dianne) to be well-groomed. The parents put stress on moral qualities as well as on the difference between good and bad, which can be seen in the plot, where the good is presented by the character of Harry Potter and the evil by Lord Voldemort, which is exposed in the third chapter of the thesis. If we want to recognize Joanne with a character from the book it would be, at least according to herself, Hermione Granger.
