On here you may list or poste one HP fun fact that YOU know, so we can share and grow in our HP knowledge!

Only one fact? ): Okay... On the very last day of filming the Deathly Hallows part two, Rupert Grint (Ron) brought his ice cream truck and gave ice cream to the cast!

radcliff was drunk for most of the filming

((Only one per post, that way they can be spread out and easier to read. You may post as many as you would like!!!! (= Till your hearts content! The more the merrier!!! ))

J.K. had intended to kill Hagrid in an earlier book, but the idea/image of him carrying Harry as an infant and carrying him when we was "dead" kept him alive.

filming of which move?



J.K.R. published her books under her name with her first and middle name as initials because she did not want people knowing that she was a woman.

The guy who plays Flitwick (his name just slipped my mind...) also plays Griphook!

Dumbledores pheonix was actually named after an event in england where a man was set on fire. i do not know the rest but if you would like to look it up i would enjoy to hear more.

Hermione's Patronus is an otter because JK Rowling likes otters and sees herself in Hermione.

J.K. Rowling would often be asked how to pronounce Hermione's name, so to clear up any confusion she had Hermione teach Viktor Krum how to pronounce it in Goblet of Fire.

Ron's Patronus is a Jack Russel Terrier, which are know for chasing otters. Hermione's Patronus happens to be an otter.

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.

Harry’s birthday is July 31, 1980. Rowling’s birthday is also July 31—but in 1966. (I've know this one for ages!)

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.

The driver and conductor of the Knight Bus, Ernie and Stanley, are named after Rowling’s grandfathers.

Diagonally is litteralt an ally that is diagonal, hens Diagonal-aley. Or a street that goes diagonally.

Jo had originaly intended to kill Haggrid earlier in the sears. Ten house points to whomever can guess as to why she let him live.

Dumbledore is gay. J.K Rowling said it herself.

Rowling planned to kill Ron in the middle of the series but changed her mind.

Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus means "Never tickle a sleeping dragon."

J.k. Rowling liked the image of Hagrid carrying 'dead' Harry at the end of the book, so she let him live.

Moy Bien!!! You got it!!!
