2. A picture of Gandalf the Grey (from The Lord of the Rings) can be seen in the collection of great wizards in Professor Dumbledore’s study in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
3. Author J. K. Rowling recently revealed that Dumbledore is gay and he had a crush on the wizard Grindelwald, whom he later defeated in a wizard duel.
4. As every Potter fan knows, Dementors are deadly, magical, wraith-like creatures. Rowling revealed that they represent depression and that they were based on her own experience with the disease. The remedy to lighten the effects of a Dementor is chocolate.

Rowling is the first author billionaire

5. Rowling is the first person to become a billionaire (U.S. dollars) by writing books.
6. In 2007, Rowling was runner up for Time magazine’s Person of the Year.
7. The death of Rowling’s mother from multiple sclerosis significantly influenced her writing, and death is a major theme throughout the Potter series.
8. The actress who played Moaning Myrtle is actually 37 years old and is the oldest actress to portray a Hogwarts student.
9. Rowling discovered “witchy” sounding names such as toadflax, goutwort, grommel, and others in Culpeper’s Complete Herbal, a famous book of herbal lore from the 1600s.
10. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released on July 21, 2007, and sold 11 million copies on the first day of its release, breaking Rowling’s earlier records for the fastest selling book of all time.
11. Rowling said that if she were to be a teacher at Hogwarts, she would teach Charms. If she had a job in the wizarding world, she would write spell books.
12. Harry Potter’s pet snowy owl, Hedwig, shares her name with two famous saints. One is Saint Hedwig of Andechs (1174-1243), a former duchess noted for her benevolence and compassionate nature. The other is Saint Hedwig, Queen of Poland (1373-1399). The death of Hedwig in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallowsrepresents Harry’s loss of innocence and coming of age.

Wizards in Harry’s world primarily use owls to communicate

13. Owls are the primary means of communication between wizards in Harry’s world. However, in many parts of the world, owls are considered bad luck and harbingers of death.
14. In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, dragon blood is revealed to be an effective oven cleaner.
15. Rowling’s books were the first children’s books included on the New York Bestseller list since E.B. White’s Charlotte’s Web in 1952.
16. When Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was released in Great Britain, the publisher asked stores not to sell the book until schools were closed for the day to prevent truancy.
17. Several publishers rejected the first Harry Potter manuscript saying it was too long and literary, but Bloomsbury Publisher finally accepted it in 1996. The book’s publisher suggested Rowling use the name “J. K.” rather than her real name “Joanne Rowling” to appeal to male readers. She took the “K” from her grandmother’s name Kathleen, but neither "Kathleen" nor "K" is part of her legal name.
18. Rowling’s series has stimulated children to read and has concomitantly boosted the sales of other children’s literature, such as C.S. Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narniaseries and Lloyd Alexander’s The Black Cauldron series.                                                                                                                                                      
19. A few scholars have suggested that the Harry Potter series is sexist because the three most powerful figures are male, females use their power in ways that make them less appealing than the males, and Hermione is less powerful and less poised than the boys. Other scholars say those claims are unfounded.
20. Colors play an important role in the Harry Potter novels. For example, shades of red represent goodness, such as Gryffindor’s scarlet robes, Harry’s red ink, and the crimson Hogwarts Express train. The Weasleys have red hair and a red roof. Green is largely associated with negative events, such as when Harry sees a flash of green when his parents die and the green-colored curse that made Ron vomit.
21. Numbers are symbolic in the series, especially 2, 3, 4, and 7. For example, the trio of Harry, Ron, and Hermione suggest the power of three and the spiritual trinity. Harry fatally wounds the basilisk on its third strike, and Hagrid knocks on the front door of Hogwarts three times. Students attend Hogwarts for seven years and there are seven players on each Quidditch team. Sirius is also imprisoned on the seventh floor of Hogwarts.
22. Rowling said her favorite beast in the series is the phoenix, a mythical sacred bird who ignites into flames when it reaches 500 or 1,000 years old only to emerge from the flames as a new and young phoenix.

Harry Potter and Rowling share a birthday on July 31st

23. Harry’s birthday is July 31, 1980. Rowling’s birthday is also July 31—but in 1966.
24. The name Voldemort comes from the French words meaning “fly from death,” and his entire goal is to conquer death. In the second Harry Potter novel, Rowling shows us that “I am Lord Voldemort” is an anagram of “Tom Marvolo Riddle,” which is his actual full name.
25. Harry Potter’s name may refer to a “potter’s field,” which is a cemetery in which people of unknown identity or the very poor are buried. This would be fitting because Harry Potter serves as a type of “everyman,” a powerful mythological archetype.
26. Rubeus Hagrid, one of Harry’s closest friends, is part wizard and part giant. Rubeus is Latin for something produced from a bramble or a thicket, which fits Rowling’s description of him as “wild.” Hagrid most likely comes from the term “haggard” which also means “wild” or “unruly.”
27. Cedric Diggory is one of four students to die in Rowling’s novels. Cedric is a common Welsh name, and Diggory is the name of the professor in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe who traveled to Narnia where he picked an apple to save his mother. The seeds from the apple grew into a tree from which the wardrobe was made.
28. Rowling said she may have inadvertently taken the name of Harry’s school, “Hogwarts,” from a hogwort plant she saw in the Kew Gardens in New York City.
29. So many fans visit King’s Cross station to take pictures of platforms 9 and 10 that the station management erected a sign that says “Platform 9 ¾” which, in the Potter books, is invisible to Muggles but acts as a gateway for witches and wizards.
30. Voldemort’s wand is made of yew. Yew is seen by some as having immense supernatural power and being a symbol of death and rebirth, the same immortality that Voldemort seeks. Historically, nearly all wizards have used a magical wand of some sort that channels a wizard’s power and acts as a symbol of authority (such as a shepherd’s staff).
31. Golgomath (one of the largest giants in the Potter universe) may be a play on the word “googol,” a math term for a one with a hundred zeros after it—in other words, one of the largest numbers known.
32. Rowling said that when she took an online Sorting Hat quiz, it sorted her into Hufflepuff, one of the four houses of Hogwarts.
33. Rowling said if she could take Polyjuice Potion for an hour, she would become Prime Minister Tony Blair. She also said that she would be dreadful at playing Quidditch as she is “not sporty,” “not great with heights,” and is “clumsy.”
34. Quidditch is also known as Ikarosfairke or “Ikarus ball,” which refers to the Greek myth of Icarus who flew too close to the sun. His wings melted and he fell into the sea and drowned.
35. Rowling said that she would like to transform herself into her favorite animal: an otter. That is the Animagus shape of Hermione’s Patronus—which is not surprising, since Rowling has said Hermione is a lot like she is.
36. The curse used to kill Harry’s parents, “Avada Kedavra,” derives from a phrase in Aramaic Abhadda kedhabhra, which means to “disappear like this word.” It was used to make illness disappear, but there’s no proof it was meant to kill anyone. It is also likely the origin of abracadabra, which was used by doctors to cure fevers.
37. Harry’s godfather’s name, Sirius Black, comes from the name of one of the brightest stars in the sky, the “Dog Star” or Sirius (from the Greek word seirios, meaning “burning”). The star is a symbol of the goddess Isis and was central to the religion and philosophy of Egypt.
38. Sirius Black’s tattoos are borrowed from Russian prison gangs. The markings identify the person as someone to be feared and respected.

“Dumbledore“ is an Old English word meaning “bumblebee“

39. Albus Wulfric Percival Brian Dumbledore is Dumbledore’s full name. Dumbledore is an Old English word meaning “bumblebee.” Albus is Latin for “white,” and Wulfric was the name of a twelfth-century saint who became a deeply holy man after seeing a homeless man in the street. Percival was a knight of King Arthur’s Round Table and may also mean “pierce the veil,” suggesting an ability to return from the dead. Brian is a Celtic name, meaning “strong.”
40. The original title of the first book was Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and appeared on books in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and other territories. It was changed to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by the American publisher because “Sorcerer’s” seemed more exciting. Rowling later said she would have fought this decision had she been in a better position.
41. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone refers to a mythical object called a “philosopher’s stone.” In the ancient practice of alchemy (from the Arabic word al-kimia, or the transformation of metals, and related to the word algebra), alchemists searched for a magical substance called the “philosopher’s stone” that would turn ordinary metals into gold. In Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the “philosopher’s stone” is described as “blood-red.”
42. Hogwarts wizards use cauldrons (from the Latin calere meaning “to be warm” or hot, and which is related to “calorie”) to create potions. Mundungus (from archaic Spanish for “stinky tobacco”) Fletcher was known to peddle stolen pots. Cauldrons are one of the oldest and most widely known symbols of magic—older, for example, than broomsticks. In fact, people once believed that witches flew in cauldrons.
43. “Morsmorde” is the command that makes the Dark Mark (the mark of Voldemort) appear and means “take a bite out of death” in French, making it an appropriate call for Death Eaters.
44. The Death Eaters were originally known as the Knights of Walpurgis, which is a reversal of “Walpurgis Night,” the name of an old witch’s holiday on April 30th celebrating springtime—exactly six months from Halloween. One holiday ushered in the growing season; one marked its passing. On both nights, demons and witches were free to roam. Saint Walpuriga was actually the name of a nun who lived between A.D. 710-779.
45. The divination textbook used at Hogwarts was written by “Cassandra Vablatsky.” Her last name refers to a real woman, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky who founded the Theosophical Society. Cassandra was the daughter of the rulers of Troy (Priam and Hecuba) who was cursed by Apollo to prophecy the truth but never to be believed.
46. The Hogwarts school motto is Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus which is Latin for “Never Tickle a Sleeping Dragon.” In the novels, the school is located somewhere in Scotland and has various charms to make it appear as an old ruin to muggle eyes.
47. Hogwarts was founded 1,000 years ago by Godric Gryffindor (fire/lion), Salazar Slytherin (water/serpent), Helga Hufflepuff (earth/badger), and Rowena Ravenclaw (air/raven). Its crest includes each of the animal representations of the four founders.
48. In the Hogwarts school, grades include Outstanding, Exceeds Expectations, and Acceptable. The failing grades include Poor, Dreadful, and Troll.
49. Early in the series’ history, the Harry Potter books received positive reviews; however, later books were criticized as bland and cliché.

The idea of Harry Potter “strolled“ into Rowling’s head during a four-hour train delay

50. Rowling says the idea of Harry Potter just “strolled into her head” during a four-hour train delay.
51. According to Rowling, her favorite book as a child wasThe Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge.
52. An outbreak of lice among the children cast members occurred while filming Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
53. When Coca-Cola won the rights to tie in its product with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Rowling insisted the company donate $18 million to the U.S. Reading Is Fundamental campaign to encourage children to read.
54. Natalie McDonald, who appeared in Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire, was based on a real girl Rowling knew who was dying of leukemia.
55. The driver and conductor of the Knight Bus, Ernie and Stanley, are named after Rowling’s grandfathers.
56. In 2003, members of the Jesus Non-Denominational Church in Greenville, Michigan, publicly demonstrated their concern over what they perceived to be evil in the Harry Potter books by gathering around a bonfire and burning Rowling’s books. In the Middle Ages, when books were rare, burning them was a radical statement.
57. Rowling claims that her wizarding world is purely imaginary and she doesn’t believe in the kind of magic found in her books.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is scheduled to open at Universal Orlando in 2010

58. A theme park called the Wizarding World of Harry Potter will open in 2010 at Universal Islands of Adventure in Florida. The park will include a Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the Forbidden Forest, and Hogsmeade Village.
59. Harry Potter books made the American Library Association (ALA) list of 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books for five consecutive years. A challenge is a formal, written complaint filed with a library or school requesting that materials be removed because of content or appropriateness.
60. Most parent protests against the books include arguments that the books glorify witchcraft, encourage children to break rules and defy authority, and dwell on dark themes and death. But other parents argue in favor of the books, saying they serve as a mirror for finding a young child’s full potential. 
61. When asked about the Harry Potter series, Pope John Paul II said the stories helped children see the difference between good and evil. However, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) said the books “erode Christianity in the soul” of young people and are “inconsistent with the teachings of the Catholic Church.” Ratzinger said the books were a “subtle seduction.”
62. Nancy Stouffer, the author of The Legend of Rah and the Muggles and Harry Potter and His Best Friend Lilly sued Rowling because she said Rowling’s books were based on her ideas. Stouffer lost her case in 2002 and was fined for making her claim with forged documents. No other author has claimed that Rowling stole an idea.  Source - facts.randomhistory

In book 1, Dumbledore gives 10 points to Neville at end of the book to stand up against his friends, which is a very difficult task, at that point it only appears as if this is done to allow Gryffindor win House Trophy, but in the last book Deathly Hallows we come to know that even for a great wizard like Dumbledore himself, how difficult it was to confront his friend Grindelwald, and stand up against him. So he knows what great strength Neville has shown, although the reader doesn't at that point. Source: hpotterfacts.tumblr.com

JK Rowling published Harry Potter around 1997 in the UK and 1998 in the US. The final battle between Harry and Voldemort ends around 1997-1998. Hence the phrase, I open at close. The book described Harry's Potters parents’ grave yard in the year 1981 which means Harry was born on 1980. He started Hogwarts at 11, so 1991. The final battle took place when he was in his final year at Hogwarts-1998. Source: hpotterfacts.tumblr.com

In Prisoner of Azkaban, Trelawney refuses to sit at a table with 12 other characters because she would be the 13th and the first one to get up after that would die. In Order of the Phoenix, 13 members of the order are sitting and Sirius is the first to stand. Source: hpotterfacts.tumblr.com

Harry Potter readers notice parallels and hidden meanings scattered all over the books. Here are a few you may have missed. Malfoy, the notoriously Pureblood family that has aligned itself with Voldemort, is derived from the French mal foi, meaning bad faith. Voldemort, loosely translated, comes from vol de mort, or flight from death. Throughout the series, he seeks to escape death and does so by creating Horcruxes in hopes of becoming immortal. 
The reputable center of Diagon Alley can be accessed from the Leaky Cauldron by tapping one’s wand in a diagonal pattern on the wall. The shady Knockturn Alley is a homophone of ‘nocturnally’, referring to darkness and nighttime. “Morsmordre”, the incantation to cast the Dark Mark, means “take a bite out of death” when loosely translated. And the biggest one of all? Voldemort's heritage and rise to power parallels Adolf Hitler's. Oh J.K. Rowling, you clever, clever woman. Source: imgur.com

While hype was building for the release of the final book, Rowling revealed to fans that she’s always thought of Dumbledore as gay. She was surprised at the applause that greeted her statement. She sportingly says, “You needed something to keep you going for the next 10 years! …Oh my god, the fan fiction now, eh?” 
In response, she said, “If I had known this would have made you this happy, I’d have announced it years ago.” Dumbledore, who had always believed in the power of love, found love himself in Gellert Grindelwald, his childhood friend who went dark. It made him sad that he had to defeat his friend in battle, but he did what was needed. This may have been one of the memories he was reliving when he drank the potion the night he died. Source: imgur.com

The power of three is shown by the Golden Trio- Harry, Ron and Hermione; the Deathly Hallows- the Invisibility Cloak, the Elder Wand, and the Resurrection Stone. 
The number seven is especially powerful. There are seven years of school in Hogwarts, seven players on a Quidditch team, seven Horcruxes, and seven Harry Potter books written. Rowling has used numerology to make numbers and what they represent significant throughout the series. In less significant meaning, three is the number of times Harry stabs the basilisk with the Sword of Gryffindor before it dies and the number of times Hagrid knocks on the front door of Hogwarts in the first book. Source: imgur.com

Severus Snape was hailed a hero after his loyalty to Dumbledore was revealed. Because he deserted his post by “doing a bunk”, he was not approved by past headmasters for a portrait. Rowling deliberately did not include Snape’s portrait in the epilogue, but reveals that Harry would have fought for Snape’s portrait to be made. Although he didn’t much like Snape, Harry can still appreciate Snape’s efforts and respect him for it. To that end, Harry would have used his “saving-people thing” to have the portrait made and hung right next to Dumbledore’s. Whether or not Harry would have talked to the portrait is a separate matter. Snape’s successor is Minerva McGonagall. Source: imgur.com

She is responsible for the catatonic state of Frank and Alice Longbottom as well as the death of Sirius Black. In the Final Battle, Molly Weasley is the one to kill her. Although Neville would have been a primary candidate to be the one to off Bellatrix, Rowling always knew it would be Molly. The reason is twofold: this battle represents the fierce maternal love of Molly versus the fanatic love of Bellatrix for her master. The second reason is to show that although Molly is a housewife with a good heart, she has other talents out of the kitchen. Source: imgur.com

JK Rowling’s original plan for the books were very different. For one, Fred would have lived and Hermione and him would have had a relationship. Additionally, Arthur Weasley was originally killed by Nagini’s bite in Book 5. 
Rowling decided against this mainly because of how it would affect Ron. Ron, as Harry’s best friend, provides comic relief through his admittedly juvenile behavior. The books themselves deal with dark subject matter, with death and evil as prominent motifs. Ron would have been affected greatly by the loss of his father and he would lose much of his humor in his grief. The incident did force him to acknowledge his family’s mortality without losing his father. Ron grows up because of this but still keeps the lovable and immature personality that is so uniquely him. Source: imgur.com

Death is a prominent theme throughout the series. JK Rowling's own personal losses made it easier for her to write Harry as an orphan, as she could relate to him. The death of his first friend Hedwig is also used to show Harry's maturity.
Her mother passed away due to multiple sclerosis before she had the chance to see her daughter become an international success. The loss of her mother hit her hard. Rowling’s relationship with her father is non-existent, so her mother’s passing left her essentially an orphan. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry’s owl Hedwig is the first character to die and on the night Harry becomes an adult. This represents his “loss of innocence and coming of age”. Source: imgur.com

Petunia and Lily didn't have a good relationship growing up because Petunia was jealous of her sister's magic. Although she didn't treat Harry well, she pauses at the door as if to say something to him on the night that the two part ways. Rowling has revealed that if Petunia had spoken, she would have said “ I do know what you’re up against and I hope it’s okay.”
The three Dursleys were thought to be regular, Harry-disliking muggles until the fifth book. Once Dudley has been exposed to the effects of the dementors, Petunia shows knowledge of the creatures, Azkaban, and receives a Howler from someone in the wizarding world. In the seventh book, Harry sends his relatives to safety before the protection of the blood wards fades. Dudley wishes him well while Petunia hesitates. Though she did neglect Harry throughout his life, this proves that blood does matter to her and she would have wished her nephew luck on his harrowing quest. Source: imgur.com

Out of all the characters in the Harry Potter series, Hermione Granger is the most similar to Rowling. Rowling has even said that Hermione and her focus on her schoolwork is a caricature of how Rowling was when she was younger. Another parallel? Rowling’s favorite animal is an otter. It’s no coincidence that Hermione’s patronus is also an otter.
Hermione is a bossy but kind-hearted friend of Harry’s who spends her free time with her nose in a book. She is deliberately described in the books as a plain, everyday girl with bushy brown hair. This is to give the image that nothing is particularly special about her looks. Instead, her value rests in her intelligence. This is to give her character female empowerment. Rowling has mentioned that all the girls should aspire to be more like Hermione rather than Pansy Parkinson, who grows out of her pug looks to become classically beautiful. Source: imgur.com

Colors have significance in the world of Harry Potter. Red represents good while green is malevolent. Take for example the times Harry and Voldemort face off. The red Expelliarmus sent by Harry Potter clashes with the green Avada Kedavra Voldemort uses to create a beam of pure gold light.
The two conflicting houses in Hogwarts are Gryffindor and Slytherin. Their house colors are red and gold and silver and green, respectively. The clash between red and green also represent a large battle. Examples of red as good are shown by Gryffindor’s red robes, the crimson Hogwarts Express train, Harry’s red ink, the red hair of the historically Light Weasley family, and the red roof of the Burrow. Green is the color of Slytherin House and is the color of Harry’s first memory- the night his mother died by Voldemort’s killing curse. Source: imgur.com

J.K. Rowling first got the idea for Harry Potter when she was travelling back home on a crowded train in London. When inspiration struck her in the form of a messy-haired boy with glasses, she didn't happen to have pen and paper on hand. Instead, she spent the rest of the four hour train ride brainstorming ideas in her head. It wasn't hard for her to imagine, as Harry just "strolled into her head". 
From a young age, she had a habit of creating stories and characters. Although we'd love to see the first drafts, she admits to being glad she didn't write it down. According to Rowling, the ideas came to her so fast and furious that she wouldn't have been able to keep up with them if she had to take time to write them down. By the time her train arrived at the station, Harry Potter and his adventures were starting to develop. Source: imgur.com

J.K. Rowling went through a bitter divorce while she was writing the books. The depression she felt inspired the creation of Dementors, the soul-sucking creatures that guard the wizarding prison Azkaban. 
She also became a single mother as she struggled to raise her two children. Understandably, it was a dark time in her life. As you may recall, the only defense against dementors is the Patronus charm, which uses happy memories to combat the bleak effects of the dementors. Source: imgur.com

As the mastermind behind Harry Potter, how would JK Rowling fit into the world she created? She's taken the online Sorting Hat quiz and would be in Hufflepuff. Were she to teach at Hogwarts, she would teach the subject of Charms. 
J.K. Rowling's magical world has her just as invested as the rest of us. She admits that she's given thought to how she'd fit in to wizarding society. If she could take Polyjuice Potion for an hour, she would turn into British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Though she created the exciting sport of Quidditch, she’d be terrible at playing it because she’s “clumsy” and “not good with heights”. And for employment in the wizarding world, she would spend her days writing spell books. We’re sure glad she won’t give up writing. Source: imgur.com
