That is to say, writing about a place you've never been to. Can an author really take someone their if they haven't set foot in the place. For instance if your write a scifi triller that takes place in a submarine in Europa (the moon of Jupiter that has an ocean), then with some research and imagination, you can make it seem real enough, and no one would know one of this day an age would really be able to argue that your descriptions are not accurate.
BUT what if it's an actual location on Earth where millions have tread on, should you just stick with what you know and the places you've been. Could someone from the Virgin Islands, write about northern Alaska when the closets they've come to seeing snow is sticking their head in the freezer? Can someone from Sacramento California, write a descriptive chase scene in Rome, without ever having driven on the roads?
Joy, I expect you're referring to King Cross station, because of course Rowling has never been to platform 9 3/4, no one has. lol!
