While J K Rowling was not born in Scotland, she has lived for many years in the country and wrote all of her famous "Harry Potter" books in Scotland. J. K. Rowling moved to Scotland while she was just beginning to write the first book and therefore all the books were imagined and written in Edinburgh. Perhaps she was inspired by the ancient history of the city, with its Castle high up on the rock, the narrow rambling cobbled streets and alleyways and Arthur's Seat, the hill beside Holyrood Palace, believed to be associated with the legend of King Arthur. Rowling has lived in Edinburgh for many years but has very recently bought herself a Scottish Castle near Aberfeldy, Perthshire.

An offer to make a Harry Potter film, based on the first story, was offered and accepted by Joanne but on the condition that it would the story would be accurate to the book. During filming of J.K. Rowling's series, the youthful stars of Harry Potter have been frequent visitors to Scotland's rugged western Highlands -- a land where reality and fantasy have often overlapped throughout history. And the magic of Harry Potter and J. K. Rowling continues...

虽然JK罗琳并不是出生在苏格兰，但她却已经在该地生活多年，而且她全套著作《哈利·波特》都是在苏格兰完成的。JK罗琳是在刚开始写作第一本书的时候移居苏格兰的，因此她所有书都在爱丁堡完成构思和写作。可能是这座城市悠久的历史、高耸在岩山上的城堡、狭窄而布局凌乱的街道小巷、以及毗邻哈路德行宫的阿瑟王宝座山（这座山被认为与阿瑟王的传说有所关联），给了她无穷的创作灵感。尽管罗琳已经定居爱丁堡多年，但她最近才给自己买了一座与PERTHSHIRE的ABERFELDY相邻的苏格兰城堡。

有人提出要在第一个故事的基础上拍摄一部哈利·波特的电影，罗琳接受了这个建议，但她有一个条件——电影中的故事情节必须忠实于原著。在《哈利·波特》系列电影的拍摄期间，该片中的一众年轻演员时时造访苏格兰西部地势起伏的高地——一片在历史上现实与想象经常重合的大地。而哈利·波特和ＪＫ罗琳的魔法仍在延续……
