* 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)

Oh my f**kin god, I cant wait for the day when people will stop talking about Harry Butthole Pussy Potter. Fantasy writing is so goddamn easy. "Hmm, how do I steal ideas from thousands of other people and then make a million dollars off of it? I know! I'll make him have scars and faggoty friends and stupid flying monkeys!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD DAMNIT!!!!

I hate Harry Potter. It's not reading. You think you're doing something cool because you're reading this crap as opposed to watching other crap? It's all crap either way. Read something good for a change. Read something that might actually change your perspective on society and nature and philosophy. Read something meaningful, not something that makes you wear capes and carry around wands and generally everything and anything that makes me just want to run you over with a steam-roller. Here are some recommendations. Grow up bitches.

Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
The Great Shark Hunt - Hunter S. Thompson
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay - Micheal Chabon
Catch-22 - Joseph Heller

Read something with purpose.

You know what I would like for you to F***ING STOP bad mouthing Harry Potter and get life. With all the time you spend writing these stupid posts you could have read one of your "precious"/"good" books. Also just to let you know many harry potter fans including me consider posts like this spam spam.gif its fine if you have a problem with Harry Potter but you don't have to go spewing your bad thoughts about Harry Potter all over the world. Haven't you ever herd of that saying "If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all" I try to live by that saying every day BUT when someone starts talking bad about Harry Potter I stand up for it.

who is the idiot Me or "The-Abominable-CPillar" If you are saying "The-Abominable-CPillar" Thank you very much but if it is Me than psh I don't care for you much.

^Harry Potter is a pointless fad and it pains me that people go apeshit over it. People have been seriously injured by these fat ass middle-country mom's running over them looking for Harry Potter books. Thats just incredibly stupid and it reflects the poorest state of the human condition, so how could you people actually flock to this debauchery, you should all be ashamed.
The fact that she outed "Dumbledore" will hurt this series continuity throughout the years, and I am sooooooo happy. In ten years time, this gay series will be nothing but a distant memory, like the Beanie Baby, Pog, or the Yo-yo. Cant wait, cant wait, cant fucking wait.
Actually sweetheart, Ive read all those books Ive listed and plenty more with much more substance than Hairy Penis (that was immature, but I just heard it recently and it's funny). That is all, Im done. Don't be so goddamn sensitive about something that does not affect you personaly in any way. Why do you care what my opinion is? The very fact you become bothered by my words means you have wayyyyy too much of an attachment to this series and you should probably go to a therapist.



"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
