I'm sorry I don't know how to post links to back myself up but, JKR graduated with honors from Exeter University. She studied French and Classics.

As she states in the above article, she had the last chapter of book seven written in 1990. Sorcerer's Stone came out in 1998. She'd been planning this series for years.

I didn't know that about Rowling - very interested Rowling and Tolkein both going to Exeter.

Rowling's changed the last chapter though - saving the person who was to be killed and killing two others instead.
