J.K. Rowling broke down in tears when she visited the tiny apartment she wrote the original 'Harry Potter' book in.

The author was a single mother living on benefits in the cramped home, near Edinburgh, Scotland, when she began writing the first novel about the schoolboy wizard - 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'.

The book series has gone on to sell over 400 million copies worldwide, earning her an estimated £545 million fortune.

Rowling now lives in a nearby mansion and had not been back to the property since moving out at a decade ago, until she revisited it with a camera crew for the British TV show 'A Year in the Life of J.K. Rowling'.

Upon her return, she said: "I feel I really became myself here. This is where I turned my life around. I'd made such a mess of things. So I just thought, 'Well, I want to write - and I wrote the book.' "

Rowling first moved into the flat with daughter Jessica after splitting from Portuguese husband Jorge Arantes.

When visiting one room, she said: "Now this is really freaky. This is the room where I finished 'Philosopher's Stone'. I didn't know then there would be a fairytale ending!"

Rowling now lives in 19th Century estate house, Killiechassie House, with second husband Neil Murray, and the couple's two children, David and Mackenzie, and her daughter Jessica.

I saw that doing a tour of her flat its amazing where she has got today.I bet she thought she'd never end up like this.
