童年对人的影响 JK罗琳买回童年时期住的房子

JK罗琳买回童年时期住的房子  

Let's be real
we all have a special place in our heart for the home (or homes) we grew up in.
Cue the memory reel of where you learned to ride your first bike or the door frame where your parents tracked your siblings and your heights. But would that nostalgia be enough for you to drop half a million to buy back the house?
If you're author J.K. Rowling
and your childhood home inspired certain parts of what would bee one of the most well-known fiction series to ever exist
it's worth considering.
如果你是作家J·K·罗琳，然后你小时候的家给了你灵感让你创作出了最著名的小说中的情节的话，那这还确实值得考虑一下。
As it turns out
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling owns her childhood home
Church Cottage at Tutshill in Chepstow
according to the The Daily Mail. Rowling had quietly swooped up the gothic-style cottage when it went on the market back in 2011 for 400
000 pounds ($499
554.00 USD).
Now
the secret is out
as this week
Rowling and her husband missioned major renovation projects for it
after years of no activity. The district council has granted the couple planning permission to install o rear dormer windows and knock down and rebuild the garage.
But let's talk about that magic that is Church Cottage already. Rowling lived here from ages nine to 18
marking her territory by scrawling "Joanne Rowling slept here
circa 1982" on the wall when she was 17
reports The Daily Mail (they even have a photo!).
The home includes a cupboard under the stairs (sound familiar?!)
which is believed to have been the inspiration for Harry's room at the Dursley family's house.
There is also a trap door in the cottage's dining room
similar to the one Fluffy guards in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Also
the property is near the Forest of Dean
where a chunk of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows takes place. Rowling also got the name for the Quidditch team Tutshill Tornados from the name of the house's street
according to Insider.
Over the years
some wise fans were able to connect the dots leading to the home
often trying to visit it. "For years
every time a book or a film came out
there were always members of the public asking to e in to see the house
" Julian Mercer
the home's former owner
told BBC back in 2011. "That's been happening ever since the book came out. But we haven't let them in."
