JK Rowling was left in tears when she went back to the place where she wrote the end of the first Harry Potter book.
Rowling was living in a flat in Edinburgh in Scotland when writing the books, and famously wrote lots of the Philosopher's Stone in a local cafe.
Rowling went back to the flat as part of TV film about the last 12 months of her life that will shown on ITV1.
The flat is now owned by other people, and when Rowling returned she saw that they had bought their own Potter books.
In the film, which will be shown on Sunday evening, Rowling said: "Oh, look, Harry Potter books! Now that is really freaky.
"This is really the room where I finished Philosopher's Stone. This is really where I turned my life around completely. My life really changed in this flat.
"This is really the room where I finished Philosopher's Stone. This is really where I turned my life around completely. My life really changed in this flat.
"And if I'd known that 10 years on I'd come back with a film crew and there'd be my published books on someone else's bookcase in this room - that is really incredible to me."
Once Rowling had finished the first Potter book she sent it off to publishing companies, and 12 of them told her they didn't like it before Bloomsbury agreed to print the first one.
