A quiz question asks what European city inspired JK Rowling to write her first Harry Potter novel. Possible answers might be Porto or London, or elsewhere. Does anyone have a definitive answer?

i would have thought London, but don't know for sure.
Think she said she written it in a coffee shop in Edinborough if that helps
it doesn't Bobb, she freely admits that's not true, not her first book, that was written in the capital.
Edinburgh is the capital!
of Scotland, i meant London, see if i can find the same piece, where she says it was written here.
Manchester
//when she conceived the idea for the Harry Potter series while on a delayed train from Manchester to London in 1990.
Maybe, tho heres a shop in Edinbrough that has a sign in saying she wrote there
She revealed that the first time she put pen to paper on the Potter novels was in London.

She explained: "This is the true birthplace of Harry Potter, if you define 'birthplace' as the spot where I put pen to paper for the first time.* I was renting a room in a flat over what was then a sports shop.

"The first bricks of Hogwarts were laid in a flat in Clapham Junction."

she did confirm that she wrote there, but not seemingly the first book.
As a quiz question, the answer is probably Edinburgh. But the real answer is a lot more confused than that:

If you ask me, no city "inspired" JK Rowling to write her first Harry Potter novel.
no definitive answer then...
