J.K. Rowling had this to say of Harry's scar -
I wanted him to be physically marked by what he has been through. It was an outward expression of what he has been through inside. I gave him a scar and in a prominent place so other people would recognize him. It is almost like being the chosen one, or the cursed one, in a sense. Someone tried to kill him; that's how he got it. I chose the lightning bolt because it was the most plausible shape for a distinctive scar. As you know, the scar has certain powers, and it gives Harry warnings.

There is a Harry Potter tour at Warner Bros Studio Tour in London.
For the ultimate behind-the-scenes look at the Harry Potter film franchise, look no further than this interactive attraction, complete with hundreds of props, costumes and sets used in the films, plus a chance to
fly on a broomstick, hop on board the Hogwarts Express and try an approximation of Butterbeer...
3.
How many wizards are there? This is J.K. Rowling on the subject - Let's say three thousand [in Britain], actually, thinking about it, and then think of all the magical creatures, some of which appear human. So then you've got things like hags, trolls, ogres and so on, so that's really bumping up your numbers. And then you've got the world of sad people like Filch and Figg who are kind of part of the world but are hangers on. That's going to bump you up a bit as well, so it's a more sizeable, total magical community that needs hiding, concealing, but don't hold me to these figures, because that's not how I think.

‘We did it, we bashed them, wee Potter’s the One, And Voldy’s gone mouldy, so now let’s have fun!’
