Fun Facts

Chapter 2

Here are some H.P. fun facts: Harry's parents James and Lily are soulmates because the Patronus charm (to ward off Dementors) is a physical representation of one’s soul. Because James' is a stag and Lily's is a doe they are a perfect fit together. Because Professor Snape was in love with Lily, his Patronus transformed into a doe when she died Rowling has said that if Voldemort saw a boggart it would embody his own corpse since death was always his greatest fear Dumbledore is an Old English word for “bumblebee.” Rowling said she chose the name because she pictured Dumbledore humming to himself While filming Prisoner of Azkaban, the pockets of Tom Felton’s Hogwarts robes were sewn shut to stop him from sneaking food on set When Fred and George Weasley bewitched snowballs to hit Professor Quirrel’s turban, they were unwittingly hitting Voldemort in the face. Rowling has admitted that she regrets the relationship between Ron and Hermione. On the 10 year anniversary of Harry’s parents’ death and the first time Voldemort was defeated, 31st October 1991, he and Ron saved Hermione from the troll in the bathroom. This is generally regarded as the day the trio became friends Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint both admit to having a crush on Emma Watson in earlier films. The first Harry Potter book was published in 1998, the same year the final Battle of Hogwarts was fought. Rowling has said, "I open at the close" ~ CJ Rosalia
