Harry Potter and Ron Weasley never graduated from Hogwarts.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione appeared on Chocolate Frog Cards.

The actress who played Moaning Myrtle was 40 years old when the movie was released.

Hagrid didn't have his own Patronus.

Ordinary people see an old abandoned castle in the place where Hogwarts should be.

J. K. Rowling shares a birthday with Harry.

The final Battle of Hogwarts took place in 1998, the same year that the first Harry Potter book was published

Professor McGonagall was once a talented Quidditch player herself, but stopped playing after she had an ugly fall in her final year.

Dumbledore could see Harry when Harry was using the invisibility cloak by casting the spell homenum revelio.

The last smell that Hermione's Amortentia potion gives off is Ron's hair.

Harry and Voldemort are distant relatives, traced back to the Peverells. (I figured this one out by myself, yes, three cheers for me.)

Voldemort's boggart would've been his own corpse, for his greatest fear was death.

Dumbledore's boggart was the corpse of his sister Ariana.

Dumbledore's name is Old English for "bumblebee," because Rowling imagined him humming to himself.

Rowling agreed that Hermione might have been a good match for Harry.

Ron's Patronus is a Jack Russell Terrier.

Dolores Umbridge later went to Azkaban to pay for her crimes.

There was a shot called during Harry, Ron, and Hermione's first class with her. (The first time they met their Divination teacher, the trio heard Professor Trelawney say, “around Easter, one of our number will leave us for ever.”
They were meant to think she was talking about someone dying, but she was actually talking about Hermione, who would drop the class right around… Easter.)

Trelawney also foretold Dumbledore's death. (She kept seeing a “lightning-struck tower.” Of course, later in that very same book, Dumbledore would be hit with a killing curse — which sure looks a lot like lightning — atop the Astronomy tower.)

The Dementors became unemployed.

In the mirror of Erised, Dumbledore actually saw his family together, with his sister Ariana alive and happy and his brother Aberforth forgiving him :')

James and Lily were soulmates, because James' Patronus was a stag and Lily's a doe.

Fawkes left after Dumbledore died.

After being asked why Harry's scar was shaped like a lightning bolt, she said, "Because it’s a cool shape. I couldn’t have my hero sport a doughnut-shaped scar."

Mundungus means tobacco.

My opinion of the top inspirational quotes for the Harry Potter Series. Comment on anything I missed!

-It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live

-There are all kinds of courage. It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to our enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to our friends

-Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all, those who live without love.

-If you want to know what a man's like take a look at how he treats his inferiors not his equals

-It is out choices that show who we truly are, far more than our abilities.

-Happiness can be found even in the darkest...

Headmaster Albus Dumbledore: His first name is from the Latin word alba, "white." His last name, according to Rowling interviews, is Old English for "bumblebee." In colour symbolism, white often stands for purity, so the headmaster's name suggests honour and a hard-working nature ("busy as a bee").
Professor Binns: A bin is a large storage container. A dustbin is British English for a garbage can. This boring professor could be described as a ghostly storage for information that many Hogwarts students view as rubbish.
Headmaster Armando Dippet: Armando is from the name Armand,...
