Hullo Fellow Potterheads! I hope you've all signed up for Pottermore. Jo Rowling deserves a seat in the Palace.
Anyway,I've got a bunch of Harry Potter facts for you guys. Hope you like them!
1)A magical quill detects the birth of every magical child and records it in a book and Professor McGonagall sends an owl to each child when he or she turns eleven
2)For Hagrid, keeping dangerous creatures is all about overcoming something that could kill him.
3)To remove the tail that Hagrid gave Dudley in the hut on the rock, the Dursleys went to a private hospital where the staff was very discreet, and said that a wart had gone out of control.
4)A few of the Hogwarts professors have spouses, but that information is restricted for reasons we will find out about later.
5)The approximate value of a Galleon is about five pounds ($7.30 or 8.00 Euro), though the exchange rate varies.
6)James Potter was a Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team (although the movie claimed he was a Seeker).
7)Nancy Stouffer, the author of The Legend of Rah and the Muggles and Harry Potter and His Best Friend Lilly. sued Rowling because she said Rowling’s books were based on her ideas. Stouffer lost her case in 2002 and was fined for making her claim with forged documents. No other author has claimed that Rowling stole an idea.
8)An outbreak of lice among the children cast members occurred while filming Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
9)Rowling said that when she took an online Sorting Hat quiz, it sorted her into Hufflepuff, one of the four houses of Hogwarts.
10)So many fans visit King’s Cross station to take pictures of platforms 9 and 10 that the station management erected a sign that says “Platform 9 ¾” which, in the Potter books, is invisible to Muggles but acts as a gateway for witches and wizards.
11)When Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was released in Great Britain, the publisher asked stores not to sell the book until schools were closed for the day to prevent truancy
12)Rowling is the first person to become a billionaire (U.S. dollars) by writing books.
13)When Fred and George Weasley bewitched snowballs to bounce off the back of Professor Quirrell's turban in the winter of the 1991–1992 school year, they were unknowingly hitting Voldemort in the face
14)All 700 Quidditch Fouls were committed at the 1473 Quidditch World Cup
15)Hermione's middle name was changed from Jane to Jean to avoid the same middle name as Umbridge.
16)Jo was originally going to kill Arthur Weasley, but decided to kill Remus and Tonks instead. She cried when she decided.
17)James Sirius Potter, Harry and Ginny's son oldest son, stole the Maruader's map from Harry's desk. It can be assumed he figured out how to work it
18)Ginny played Seeker for the Holyhead Harpies, the all-girl Quidditch team she had posters of all over her walls at the Burrow, for several years before retiring to raise a family with Harry.
19)13, which is considered an unlucky number, is the amount of years between Remus and Tonks' ages.
20)The first person to hear Harry's story was Jo's sister, Dianne.
