After university, Rowling moved to a flat in Clapham Junction with friends, [78] and took a course to become a bilingual secretary. [10] While she was working temp jobs in London, Amnesty International hired her to document human rights issues in French-speaking Africa. [79] She began writing adult novels while working as a temp, although they were never published. [11] [80] In 1990, she planned to move with her boyfriend to Manchester, [16] and frequently took long train trips to visit. [40] In mid-1990, she was on a train delayed by four hours from Manchester to London, [81] when the characters Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger came plainly into her mind. [82] Having no pen or paper allowed her to fully explore the characters and their story in her imagination before she reached her flat and began to write.

In Harry Potter, Rowling juxtaposes the extraordinary against the ordinary. [238] Her narrative features two worlds – the mundane and the fantastic – but it differs from typical portal fantasy in that its magical elements stay grounded in the everyday. [239] Paintings move and talk; books bite readers; letters shout messages; and maps show live journeys, [238] [240] making the wizarding world "both exotic and cosily familiar" according to the scholar Catherine Butler. [240] This blend of realistic and romantic elements extends to Rowling's characters. Their names often include morphemes that correspond to their characteristics: Malfoy is difficult, Filch unpleasant and Lupin a werewolf. [241] [242] Harry is ordinary and relatable, with down-to-earth features such as wearing broken glasses; [243] Roni Natov terms him an "everychild". [244] These elements serve to highlight Harry when he is heroic, making him both an everyman and a fairytale hero. [243] [245]
