Erin:

Larry King Live, October 20th, 2000:

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I'd like to know if any of your characters of 
the "Harry Potter" series are like any real-life characters you've 
ever met. 

(END VIDEO CLIP)

ROWLING: Right. Yes, a few people were inspired by living people. I 
have to be careful what I say here because some of my characters 
aren't too pleasant, but Hermione, who is one of Harry's best 
friends, she was most consciously based on a real person, and that 
person was me. She's a caricature of me when I was younger. Ron, who 
is Harry's other best friend, he's a lot like my oldest friend, who 
is a man called Sean. I was at school with him and the second book is 
dedicated to Sean.
