• Several publishers rejected the first Harry Potter manuscript saying it was too long and literary, but Bloomsbury Publisher
finally accepted it in 1996. The book’s publisher suggested Rowling use the name ‘J. K.’ rather than her real name ‘Joanne
Rowling’ to appeal to male readers. She took the ‘K’ from her grandmother’s name Kathleen, but neither ‘Kathleen’ nor ‘K’ is
part of her legal name.

• So many fans visit King’s Cross station, London to take pictures of platforms 9 and 10 that the station management erected a
sign that says “Platform 9 ¾” which, in the Potter books, is invisible to Muggles but acts as a gateway for witches and wizards.
