Rowling didn't love school at Tutshill - there was a teacher there who frightened her - but she did love words and stories.
She excelled in English classes and became increasingly driven to write. As she grew older and attended Wyedean, writing became an ever-growing part of her existence - something she felt compelled to do.
Of her childhood, Rowling says, "I was the epitome of a bookish child, short and squat, thick National Health glasses, living in a world of complete daydreams." Her parents were avid readers, and Rowling's world was filled with books and numerous opportunities to read. She buried her nose in their pages.
E.Nesbit, the author of the classic novel The Railway Children, was a Rowling favorite. She admired Nesbit's style and stories, claiming, "I identify with the way that she writes. Her children are very real children, and she was quite a groundbreaker in her day."
At age 11, Rowling wrote her first novel. It is about seven cursed diamonds and the effects they have on the people who come into contact with them. Savvy fans of Rowling's later novels will see something of the Potter world in this early Rowling work.
Literary Lunches
At Wyedean, Rowling was known for entertaining her friends at lunchtime with imaginative stories of heroes and brave adventures.
The Seeds of Snape?
Rowling's mom, Anne, became a lab technician at Wyedean when Rowling went to school there. Anne's supervisor (and Rowling‘s teacher) was likely the inspiration for the character Professor Snape.]]> 2021-03-26 17:15:01 UTC https://padlet.com/610649276/amorzxfbd2f6evec/wish/1358169657
