I love
Harry Potter. No one can ever convince me that the series stinks and that is
has “plot holes” as big as Africa. Therefore I’ll share some random facts about
the universe from Harry Potter, and its creator and master herself, J.K.
Rowling. And I’m not only doing this because I’ll be doing a presentation about
this topic with my friend Camilla in class tomorrow. Anyways, here goes!
(Spoiler alert for those who haven’t read ors seen the films).
In the
first film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s
Stone there were made 17,000 individually decorated boxes for Ollivander’s Wand
Shop.
In the
second film Harry Potter and the Chamber
of Secrets a ghost named Moaning Myrtle appeared for the first time. The
actor playing her is the oldest actress to play a Hogwarts student since she
was 37 years old.
In the
third book Harry Potter and the Prisoner
of Azkaban Remus Lupin appeared for the first time. His name can be
rearranged to ‘Primus Lune’, which means ‘Full moon’.
In the fourth
film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire we
all meet Robert Pattinson and we kinda liked him at that point. Later Robert
has openly stated that he would rather play Cedric Diggory, who died in this
film, than Edward Cullen again.
In the
fifth film Harry Potter and the Order of
the Phoenix the character Lavender Brown had been played by an uncredited
black girl, until this film, where she turned white.
In the
sixth film Harry Potter and the
Half-Blood Prince the headmaster, Dumbledore, is killed and at that time he
was around 150 years old.
In the
seventh book Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows Hermione tells Harry and Ron that she has never used the spell ‘Obliviate’
before after she used on two Death Eaters, though she did use on her parents in
the begging on the book.
One fact to
each film/book, not bad aye? Oh wait I got more. (Don’t worry I’ll stop soon).
Harry and
Dumbledore are the only wizards to ever have held all three Deathly Hallows in
their hands. The dementors are a reflection of J.K’s depression. It was not in
the manuscript that Voldemort should hug Draco but Ralph Finnes (who played
You-Know-Who) did it under one take, improvising completely, and that one take
ended up in the eighth film. And now the
last one, I promise! One of the reasons why J.K. didn’t kill Hagrid was so he
could carry Harry back to Hogwarts. Hagrid was the one to bring Harry ‘home’ in
the first book (to the Dursley’s) and he was the one to bring Harry home again
in the last book (to Hogwarts).
That’s all
for now I hope you enjoyed it. Potterhead for the win!
