Natalie McDonald, who appears on page 159 of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, was a real person. She was a nine-year-old girl from Toronto, Canada, who was dying of leukemia. She wrote to Rowling asking what was going to happen in the next Harry Potter book, as she would not live long enough to read it. Rowling emailed back, but Natalie had died a day earlier. In tribute, she became a first-year student at Hogwarts named by the Sorting Hat in Gryffindor. When Rowling was later in Canada for a promotional tour she visited the McDonald family.
