J.K. Rowlings writing of Harry Potter

It's very interesting how J.K. Rowling came up such a wonderful serious that's mysterious, thrilling and magical. I didn't expect to read about wizards and witches and be so fascinated with the series. Every character is so well rounded, you learn about everything about each of them. How she came up with this series I don't understand. I read in an article that she developed the series on a train to London. All the ideas of Harry Potter came to her mind but she didn't have a pen to write all the details down so she just kept thinking of more and more things to add to her story. J. K. Rowling started the first book knowing the ending of the 7th book. She created a whole web and chart of what would mainly happen in each book and add all the little details when she started to write each one.
Dates when Series was published:
  1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone- 1997
  2. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets 1998
  3. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban 1999
  4. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire 2000
  5. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 2003
  6. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince 2005
  7. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2007 
I still don't understand how you can just sit on a train and develop this popular series that the whole world is going crazy over. I just don't understand! Her writing is fabulous and very abstract. Her imagery changes the perspective of her audiences and inspired the rest of the world. I can't wait to finish the book and the whole series. I have seen all the movies but I want to read what wasn't included in the movies.
