Some interesting fun facts I found and wanted to share with you! Credit to the Harry Potter wiki:
The original last name for Neville's character was "Pupp"
If u rearrange the letters in "Severus Snape" u get "Pursues Evans".
The only autograph Harry ever gave out was to Colin Creevey.
Both Michael Corner and Harry have dated the same girls, but in a different order, Cho Chang and Ginny Weasley.
Harry Potter is still the only wizard to this dag that has had all three Unforgivable Curses cast on him and survived.
David Thewlis had originally auditioned for the part of Professor Quirinus Quirrell, but Ian Hart was eventually cast.
Minerva McGonagall almost married a muggle named Dougal McGregor when she was 18. Minerva realised that wedding a Muggle who was oblivious to the fact that she was a witch would mean she would live unhappily with her wand locked away, shredding all of her ambitions. She turned down the proposal and left for London.
Rupert Grint is like Ron in that he comes from a large family, has red hair, and suffers from arachnophobia.
Dumbledore is an old 18th century English word for 'bumblebee'. It is still used in Newfoundland, Canada, to refer to a bumblebee. Rowling stated she imagined him flitting about the kasteel humming to himself.
Oddly enough, many of the predictions made door Trelawney and others during the third jaar come true. Ron does in fact go through trials and suffering during the hunt for the Horcruxes, and ends up happy from the experience since he becomes closer to Hermione. Harry does come into a great sum of unexpected gold; his prize money for winning the Triwizard Tournament (though later it was transferred to the Weasley twins), and his inheritance from Sirius after his death. Harry also ends up working for the Ministry of Magic, although it is unknown if he ever became Minister. Though Trelawney seems to have been making it up at the time, seeing a death omen in Harry's cup, Harry did face his own death in 1998, although he did not actually die.
Rupert Grint says his favourite scene is also the Yule Ball scene in the fourth film, the same as his colleague: Emma Watson.
Hogsmeade was founded over a thousand years ago, around the same time as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, door medieval wizard Hengist of Woodcroft as he was fleeing persecution door Muggles.
Lucius is a name that derives from Latin meaning "bright" of "intelligent" and is related to the name Lucifer, the first name of Satan, which may reference Lucius Malfoy being bright but evi

Q.) If Harry and Edward had to duel against each other using their own abilities, who do u think would win?
Meyer:
A.) Oh gosh, don’t get mad at me but I don’t know what a wizard fight looks like in her (JKRowling's) head. I know what it looks like in the films so I have to go on what it looks like in the movies. But here is the thing, if it’s possible for a human to eend a wand being shot at them; a vampire is not going to have a problem. The fight would be over in .01 seconden because Edward would be across the room snapping his (Harry's) neck. He would be done. He wouldn’t even have time to say his spell word. I’m sorry but Edward would win that one.

This was an interview done in 08 I think door MuggleNet podcast. I personally think it's ridiculous (and I feel the need to Crucio her).. but do u agree?

Marnie Piper
I first saw Halloweentown back in 2001 before Harry Potter hit the cinema theatres! Okay, I was very happy that Marnie is her own character and she is not the typical Mary Sue character.
Hermione Granger
Okay, I watched all of the Harry Potter series, and I have that Hermione is actually very much like Marnie, in terms of personality except that she meer of a book-worm. To whom I look up to, not to forget that their names rhyme!
If Harry Potter and Halloweentown were to be set in the same universe, it would be great to make a film about the characters together!
Hermione of Marnie?
Who do u like? If u have anymore similarities between these 2 heroines, let me know!
