In the Harry Potter series, Dementors are creatures who feed off of human happiness. J.K. Rowling created them after her own battle with depression, according to Oprah.com.

"It's so difficult to describe (depression) to someone who's never been there because it's not sadness," Rowling said. "I know sadness. Sadness is to cry and to feel. But it's that cold absence of feeling — that really hollowed-out feeling. That's what Dementors are."

In the books, a Dementor's kiss sucks out a human soul.

5 of 36. Where did J.K. Rowling first write down the story of Harry Potter?

A. On a Post-it note

B. On regular paper
