JK Rowling buys back her childhood home that inspired Harry Potter

If you’ve ever read through the pages of Harry Potter and wondered just how could someone come up with a fictional piece so surreal – then we’ve got a few clues for you!

Author JK Rowling who currently lives in Scotland previously resided in Tutshill – a dreamy little village in England. And little did we know, that parts of her legendary book have been inspired from her childhood home near Chepstow and its surroundings!

In conserving her birthplace of imagination, Rowling has now bought back her house – a Grade II Church Cottage through a property company she runs with her husband, Dr. Neil Murray, Luxury Launches reports. 

The mesmerizing stone home features a trap door as well as a cupboard under the stairs, like the one where Harry used to live in, inside the Dursleys residence. Parts of the house also bear the infamous author’s scribblings with one wall near her bedroom window reading ‘Joanne Rowling slept here, circa 1982’.
