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
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 kasteel 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 jaar 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...

The Harry Potter adventure recently started for me; in July 2007, after seeing the Order of the Phoenix, I fell into the "cauldron" ... Since then, I have read almost all the boeken and seen all the movies. Before I became a Potterhead, I rarely read large volumes, my readings were centered on comics, cinema / muziek magazines and short stories.

You can say that the world of Harry Potter will have influenced my life because I had the idea in October 2009 to register on a virtual french Hogwarts. The Sorting Hat placed me in Gryffindor and as the months went by, I learned some things, such as the...

Sorry About this I actually published the whole thing so far previously but removed it because it was too long so I will be putting up 3 chapters at a time from now on.

This is only temporary and the beginnings of a MASSIVE fan fic. So can u just tell me if u like it? That would be great! :)

DISCLAIMER - I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters. I do own Alex, though.

Note - It’s based on a sort of mixture between the book and the movie, but the characters’ appearances and personalities are meer like the adaptions in the movie.

Menahem Asher Silva Vargas might need to find the Room of Requirement . The Mexico City man probably could use some extra space these days, as he’s acquired no fewer than 3,097 pieces of Harry Potter memorabilia.
Instead, Vargas will have to settle for a definitively Muggle guinness World Record. His collection—which includes everything from toy figurines to replica Quidditch brooms—obliterated the vorige record holder, an 807-item assortment, like a Reductor Curse from Dumbledore’s wand itself. [The Guardian ]
Guys like Vargas made the Harry Potter franchise the economic juggernaut...

I recently found a strange contradiction in the concept of wizarding money.I'd like to know if my idea is true of if there is a counter-argument against it.

In pg.65 of HP and the Chamber of Secrets,we learn that Muggle money can be exchanged into wizarding money.

We also know that potentially valuable(in a Muggle point of view) objects such as chairs can be Conjured door magic(eg:Dumbledore does this in the courtroom in HP and The Order of the Phoenix).

So any wizard who knows basic Transfiguration can Conjure objects such as chairs,sell them to Muggles to obtain Muggle money and then exchange this money into Galleons,thus obtaining an infinite amount of wealth.

Doesn't this contradict the whole point of wizarding money?

Thanks in advance for any help.
When zanhar gets bored, zanhar makes fanfictions. And when zanhar can't decide who she wants to obsess over meer (Gina of Bella) zanhar makes crossover fics.

Another world is her only choice. That’s what she had decided.
That would be here only means of escape now.
The thought had been dancing in Regina’s mind for a few weeks now, just itching to be acted upon. And finally Regina had, had enough. Between all attempts to revive Henry’s memories failing (resulting in a return to New York for a happy mother and son) and Zelena’s murder of Robin Hood. The witch had been sure to make the...

There was a time when he loved her. A time when he actually could love, and she'd get him to do so again.

His name was Tom, she had met him during her first jaar at Hogwarts. He was in her herbology class, and was really the only thing that made actually tonen up to the class worth while. At that point it was all too simple; two eleven jaar old children playing petty pranks in between classes and exchanging silly notes in the middle of class, mostly consisting of ridiculous and poorly drawn pictures of her dear cousin Sirius. The two would often sit before a brand in the common room and simply...
