According to J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter was never an actual Horcrux-- and when Voldemort destroyed the fragment of his soul that Harry contained, Harry lost his ability to speak Parseltongue. This certainly makes sense, seeing as how Horcruxes must be intentional, and the transfer to Harry was not. Despite Dumbledor's comment in The Chamber of Secr...
The relation is distant, but it is there nonetheless. "Potter" is the surname of a wizarding family descended from Ignotus Peverell and Linfred Stinchcombe which, of course, resulted in the protagonist of the Harry Potterseries of books. The connection in bloodlines between Harry and Voldemort comes the Peverell family. As we know, Peverell passed ...
J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potterseries and Harry Potter's creator, was born on July 31st, 1965 in Bristol, England. Harry Potter was born on July 31st, 1980 in Godric's Hollow, West Country, England. They are both Leos. Harry Potter would be 36 today, and J.K. Rowling turned 51 this year. Even though Rowling has claimed that she came up...
Get ready for one roller coaster of a bad idea that almost came to be. Not Haley Joel Osment's casting specifically, but rather the idea of Steven Spielberg directing the Harry Pottermovies. J.K. Rowling sold the rights to Harry Potterto Warner Bros. in 1998, and the studio knew they were investing in something big. So they began flipping through t...
This makes that "Harry and Hermione are siblings!" fan theory all the more disturbing. The pairing of Hermione and Ron with Harry and Ginny was quite a dividing element between Harry Potter fans. And now, it seems like J.K. Rowling regrets her choices in writing. In an interview with Wonderlanda couple of years ago, Rowling says she should have pai...
Back in 2000, Rowling talked about the origins of Harry's name in an interview for Scholastic. "'Harry' has always been my favorite boy's name," said Rowling, "so if my daughter had been a son, he would have been Harry Rowling. Then I would have had to choose a different name for 'Harry' in the books, because it would have been too cruel to name hi...
It's true! J.K. Rowling said herself that Michael Jackson tried to convince her to turn her Harry Potternovels series into a full stage musical. Rowling ended up turning Jackson down because she believed the musical would not have worked that well for her series. While Rowling has taken merchandising deals and agreed to a Hogwarts theme park, she w...
There's probably no need for a GED when you save the wizarding world from evil. In an interview with Pottercast in 2007, J.K. Rowling explained that Harry (as well as Ron) did not graduate from Hogwarts. After the Battle of Hogwarts, Hermione returned to school and passed her NEWTS with flying colors before joining Harry and Ron at the Ministry of ...
This new fact came to light via one of J.K. Rowling's awesome Pottermore talks, and it clarifies a pretty interesting conundrum-- why on earth would someone like Draco Malfoy want to be friends with Harry Potter in the first place? Draco was one of the series' most complex characters and he was incredibly easy to hate. Once you take into considerat...
When Hedwig was killed by accident in The Deathly Hallows, by a killing curse meant for Harry, it hit us right in the feels. We, like Harry, grew up with Hedwig and felt her presence was such an iconic Harry Pottersymbol. Harry's bond with the snowy owl was the first real friendship he ever had after living so long under the Dursley's stairs and ma...

- The Meringue Incident. Neville's family, however, didn't see the small signs of magic he exhibited as a baby. For years they were afraid that Neville was a squib.
- An Unlikely Witch. Of course, not all young witches and wizards grow up in a magical family. Hermione Granger’s parents were Muggles who worked as dentists.
- Muggle Interests. Speaking of muggledom... According to Pottermore (J.K. Rowling's website for fans of the series), Dumbeldore’s favorite hobbies included 10-pin bowling and chamber music.
