Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

M: Hi, Miss Rowling, how old were you when you started to write? And what was your first book?

W: I wrote my first Finnish (finished) story when I was about six. It was about a small animal, a rabbit, I mean. And I’ve been writing ever since?

M: Do you have any plans to write books for adults?

M: where did the ideas for the “Harry Potter” books come from?

W: I’ve no ideas where the ideas came from. And I hope I’ll never find out. It would spoil my excitement if it turned out I just have a funny wrinkle on the surface of my brain, which makes me think about the invisible train platform.

M: How did you come up with the names of your characters?

W: I invented some of them. But I also collected strange names. I’ve got one from ancient saints, maps, dictionaries, plants, war memoirs and people I met.

M: Oh, you are really resourceful.
