* Prefects can take points; Ron got it wrong in Order of the Phoenix, which makes him a pretty poor prefect, eh?
* Fred and George Weasley were born on April Fools' day (no joke).
* Ginny Weasley's first name is Ginevra, and she is the first female Weasley born for "several generations," says JKR.
* Arthur Weasley has two brothers.
* Molly Weasley's maiden name is Prewett.
* Crookshanks is half Kneazle.
* The infamous Weasley cousin who was cut from the books was named Mafalda. She was in Slytherin.
* Dean Thomas's father was killed by Death Eaters when he refused to join them. Neither Dean nor his mother know.
* Dean Thomas was named Gary in the first drafts of the Philosopher's Stone.
* Hagrid, Lily, and James were in Gryffindor. (Hagrid was NOT in Hufflepuff.)
* Hogwarts has about a thousand students. (True, that number doesn't seem right, but J.K.R. said so, and she's the boss.)
* James Potter was a Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team (although the movie claimed he was a Seeker).
* Hermione's birthday is September 19th; Ron's is March 1st.
* James Potter inherited lots of money and didn't need a well-paying profession.
* James Potter inherited the Invisibility Cloak from his father.
* Witches and wizards have longer life-spans than Muggles.
* The Gringotts' goblins return the Muggle money they acquire back into circulation.
* The approximate value of a Galleon is about five pounds ($7.30 or 8.00 Euro), though the exchange rate varies.
* Dumbledore is 150, McGonagall is 70 (and is really an old softy; she just doesn't act like it), Snape is 35 or 36.
* Hogwarts' school motto, "Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus," means, "Never tickle a sleeping dragon."
* If placed in front of a mirror, the inscription on the Mirror of Erised ("Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi") reads, "I show not your face but your heart's desire."
* The happiest people do not become ghosts (12). (Therefore, we can assume that ghosts are people that died while sad, angry, etc. Myrtle was teased; Nearly Headless Nick didn't have his head completely chopped off; the Bloody Baron was...lonely?)
* The Hogwarts teachers do not stay at Hogwarts during the Christmas holidays. However, Filch, Hagrid, and Dumbledore do.
* A few of the Hogwarts professors have spouses, but that information is restricted for reasons we will find out about later. (5)
* To remove the tail that Hagrid gave Dudley in the hut on the rock, the Dursleys went to a private hospital where the staff was very discreet, and said that a wart had gone out of control. (9)
* Aragog is an Acromantula (see Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them). (6)
* Dragons can't be domesticated, no matter what Hagrid thinks. (6)
* There is more to the cats in the story (Crookshanks, Mrs. Figg's cats, Mrs. Norris, etc.) than meets the eye. (9)
* The animal an Animagus turns into is a reflection on his/her personality. (8)
* For Hagrid, keeping dangerous creatures is all about overcoming something that could kill him. (6)
* Azkaban is in a sea north of the North Sea. A very cold sea. (12)
* You can do unfocused and uncontrolled magic without a wand (like when Harry blows up Aunt Marge), but to perform really good spells, you need a wand. (5)
* Muggle education is not required for wizard children prior to attending Hogwarts. (9)
* A magical quill detects the birth of every magical child and records it in a book and Professor McGonagall sends an owl to each child when he or she turns eleven. (14)

"If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all"

Oh another thing Harry potter has been liked since the 90's and let me tell you something Harry Potter has been said to be one just as strong when it comes to fans as Star Wars and you STILL here about that now. So I seriously think you will NEVER here the end of Harry Potter they are even making a Harry Potter theme park and two more movies oh and don't forget the Harry Potter Encyclopedia so you know what I can't F***ING wait for? For you to F***ING STOP bad mouthing Harry Potter. so go to hell the devil is waiting for you

Get over it.

Yeah yeah, that's right IVE READ CATCH 22 and GUESS WHAT?! I LOVE HARRY POTTER TOO, and at the same time I think Huckleberry Finn IS BEAUTIFUL.

Jesus Christ, people need to calm down. They're fiction alright, for entertainment. Forgive the writer for having a book for entertainment, at least it's not cheap for god sake's. I've been reading Harry Potter since I was like in 2nd grade, and god damn, it's like part of me :]

Ahhh this srsly bugging me, but why is that information restricted?

17 Ways to Distract Voldemort while Harry Searches for Horcruxes

Guaranteed to send Voldemort after you instead!

1. Choreograph an artistic dance interpretation of his life and struggle for power and then force him to watch it.

2. Conduct a séance and pretend to channel the spirit of his mother.

3. Tell him he's been a "naughty boy."

4. Pretend to be the Sorting Hat and apologize - apparently you were wrong, and he was meant to be in Hufflepuff.

5. Call him Ickle-Voldykins...and then run. Fast.

6. Ask him to guess which hand the last Horcrux is in.

7. ...admonish him for cheating if he uses Legilimency.

8. Tell him you know where Harry is hiding, and Apparate before providing further details.

9. Dress up as Dumbledore and say you faked your own death.

10. Start an argument about Harry Potter shipping.

11. Tell him he's adopted and that he's really Hagrid's other half-brother.

12. Tell him Harry is his son and ask him if he's sure he wants to go through with Book 7 now, since it's become "soooo Star Wars."

13. Tell him one of his Death Eaters is actually a member of the Order using Polyjuice Potion - but refuse to tell him who it is.

14. If he gets rid of some Death Eaters in the process of figuring this out, then all the better for Harry!

15. Tell him that one of his enemies is plotting against him in the Forbidden Forest.

16. Tell him all about your enemy/rival and how he's nothing compared to them. Perhaps he'll go after them rather than Harry.

17. Tell him his plastic surgeon did a terrible job with the "red-eyed snake look," and that he should've had the self confidence to age gracefully.

i heard the last book is gonna be made into two separate movies. Rowling (i think) who said that there are details in that book that can't be left out. Its gonna be in 2010 and 2011.

That sucks...I'd rather just have a really long movie.

I can't see how they can do the sixth in one though. That, I think, would be a longer movie than one whole seventh.

the sixth book is my fave, so the movie had better be good!

Yeah, November 2010 and May 2011 are the release months.

It doesn't seem like Snape is that young in the books. I got used to thinking he's old because Alan Rickman is in his fifties, I guess.

THATS TOO LONG!

Harry Poppers is a too big book for me


AND IN THE MOVIE TERE IS A ******** forbidden word


http://medias.ados.fr/people/3/2/3247/Rupe...ron-weasley.jpg


you know the person who got this hairs color alwayz scared me


they dont has any soul

Omg 2011.
too looong
thats like my junior year
nooooooooooooooooooooooo
btw 400th post yay

^ what 'forbidden word'????

forbiden word = person who got orange hairs oh shit we shouldn't speak about these devil

OOHHH..... i got it :)

I found that to be very interesting. I didn't know that Fred and George were born on April Fools day. I also was confused about the Ginny one for a second because i was like, wait, isn't Mrs. Weasley a female Weasley but then I remembered that she wasn't a born Weasley.

that`s such an ugly name, imo.

i always thought he was a seeker too... i guess all my fan fics are wrong......





how do you pronounce that?
i have been dieing to know but i cant figure it out!!!!!!!

^LOL @ your sig; he`s so hot.

i think it`s like JIN- EV- RUH, or maybe even JIN -EVE- RUH.

haha. idk, that`s how i would say it.

Jin - ehv - ruh. Not too difficult.

^ Exactly...

Does anyone know why Mad-Eye can see through Harry's cloak? It never made sense to me. I don't know if this was discussed in the old HP&DH thread, but if the invisibility cloak was supposed to render its wearer undetectable by everyone NO MATTER WHAT spells you set upon it, shouldn't it have blocked Moody's eye?

Maybe it's like science. When they made the cloak, they didn't have a special magical electronical (I just wanted it to rhyme) glass eyeball, and they weren't anticipating such a thing. So their spell theory was rendered useless to the new technology.

Probably not, but worth a shot.

maybe the eye is more powerful than the cloak....

I agree. =\

i like it....

All of this "restricted info" makes me want to start thinking she's going to write another book.
