[填空题]

Interviewer: Where do you get your idea from, Mrs. Rowling
Rowling: I wish I knew. Sometimes they just come like magic and other times I have to sit and think for weeks before I manage to work out how something will happen. Where the idea for Harry Potter actually came from I really couldn’t tell you. I was just traveling on a train
between Manchester and London and it just popped into my head. I spent four hours thinking about what Hogwarts would be like—the most interesting train journey I’ve ever taken. By the time I got off at King’s Cross many of the characters in the books had already been invented.
Interviewer: Are any of the characters in the books based on real people
Rowling: Tricky question! The answer is yes, and no. I have to confess that Hermione Granger is a little bit like I was at her age, though I was neither as clever nor as annoying. Ron is a little bit like my oldest friends and Professor Snape is a lot
