| | |  J.K.Rowling plaque to be placed in Scotland
A granite plaque, featuring an image of Jo Rowling, is to be placed outside a Chinese restaurant in Scotland (which used to be a coffee shop) where Harry Potter was first created.
The plaque will form a 'Writer's Corner' of sorts, which also holds memorials to other authors such as Robert Louis Stevenson and William McGonagall. Quote:
He has since secured the support of the building's owners and has even been given some help by the author herself. Mr Watt approached Rowling to see if she could provide a photo for the plaque, which she was happy to do.
The last stumbling block for the plaque is planning permission, and if approved it will read: "JK Rowling wrote some of the early chapters of Harry Potter in the rooms on the first floor of this building."

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

That's really cool. Jo should definitely be remembered in that building. It's where it all started, well the writing anyway. I'm glad she's being honored.
