J.K.Rowling has said that the major influence on her writing was E. Nesbit who was co-founder of The Fabian Society that also was interested in Human
rights, and also a member of the Golden Dawn. But she also puts clues into her books!
The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn was at 17 Fitzoy Street, and she mentions Fizroy Street in novels, it has to be a clue.
OUOTE:-
"There are four English children in this story who find themselves spending their summer holidays in a dreary old house on Fitzroy Street, London
(near the British Museum) in the care of their old Nurse. Father has gone to Manchuria to report on the war and Mother plus The Lamb (the new baby in
the family) is in Madeira recovering from an illness. When I first read this book, probably at the age of nine, I had no idea about any of these
places. But the writing is like a spell that just pulled me in to these children's lives, their relationships with each other and of course, their
adventures. I am sure I had already read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe at least once, so I was in a sense primed but Nesbit is a magician
whereas C S Lewis only wished he was."
And other quote from the other link by wikipedia:-
"During their adventure in Babylon, the children attempt to summon a Babylonian deity named Nisroch but are temporarily unable to recall his name:
Cyril, in an obvious in-joke, refers to the god as "Nesbit". Author E. Nesbit was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn,[3] and was
knowledgeable about ancient religions; she may well have been aware that there was indeed an ancient deity named Nesbit: this was the Egyptian god of
the fifth hour of the day.[4] In F. Gwynplaine MacIntyre's novel The Woman Between the Worlds (1994, taking place in 1898), E. Nesbit briefly appears
in the narrative, dressed in costume as the Egyptian god Nesbit."
This is from link below, writing about E. Nesbit's book The Story of the Amulet:-

Edith Nesbit did write another adult book called Daphne in Fitzroy Street, and many think she was writing about an alleged affair with George Bernard
Shaw, as well as giving a clue to The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, as she was a member of this order, quotes from link below:-

"But Nesbit fled to a male lover who eventually became her husband. Daphne and Doris pawn a necklace and use the money to find rooms in Fitzroy Street
and choose to live alone. They are helped by the second of the many male characters who gets a crush on Daphne, but Nesbit makes it clear that this
happened through Daphne’s determination. Unfortunately, life in a Paris school has left Daphne knowing very little about real life indeed, a problem
when she meets the third man of her life, Henry, an artist."
It all looks suspicious that that E. Nesbit and J.K. Rowling would leave clues to Fitzroy Square and Fitzroy Street, it was the centre of a magical
and political world in 1888.
Quote below to what J.K. Rowling says about E, Nesbit:-
"The Story of the Treasure Seekers
Rowling frequently mentions E. Nesbit in interview, citing her "very real" child characters.[12] In 2000, she said, "I think I identify with E Nesbit
more than any other writer", and described Nesbit's The Story of the Treasure Seekers as, "Exhibit A for prohibition of all children's literature by
anyone who cannot remember exactly how it felt to be a child."
