A common practice is to envision a scene and then write the story towards that scene.

Quentin tarantino Thought up a scene where 3 men with 2 pistols each were pointing their handguns at each other in a mexican standoff. He didn't know who any of them were or what quarrel they had, but that was what he started with to make his story.

To answer your question about JK Rowling.
I'm pretty sure that she came up with the idea of the deathly hollows around the making
of the last book.
