The final fact in my Harry Potter countdown ever.

Rowling has made a statement that after the books ended and before the time period of the epilogue, Hermione was the only member of the trio who returned to Hogwarts to complete her 7th year, she then ended up working for the ministry as a higher up in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.  Even though Ron and Harry didn't go back for their final year, Rowling has said they both became very skilled Auror's and Harry became the department head. yayyyy loose ends!

"This isn't a criticism, Harry! But you do... sort of... I mean -- don't you think you've got a bit of a -- a -- saving people thing?" This is probably during my favorite part of Order of the Phoenix, when Harry hits puberty full force, teenage angst and all.  His friends however aren't quite sensitive to his situation regrettably...




AVPM!

"Just because it's taken you three years to notice, Ron, doesn't mean no one else has spotted I'm a girl!" Ah school dances, they're fun for everyone! Especially Hermione in Goblet of Fire who can't seem to appreciate the fact that she got to go to one with an international super star athlete.

20

Ten days have gone by since I started this post, and I think it's about time I mentioned that I am currently in Jolly Old England on vacation! I have the posting schedualed to come out at a certain time every day, so hopefully blogger does not betray me and it all goes according to plan, but enough about that, here is fact #20 that you've been DYING for. 

As much as I pretended to shiver at the thought of time travel in the books, today's fact is about time travel in the books.  Since Hermione was traveling back in time at least 2 hours a day five days a week in her 3rd year, she was gaining 10 extra hours every week.  Since she had to wait for time to catch up again every time she time traveled, she was 10 hours older than she should have been at the end of each week.  Hogwarts isn't in session for July and August, which means Hermione traveled back in time roughly (taking o ut holiday weekends) 38 weeks a year, so multiplying that together, plus the three hours she and Harry traveld backk at the end of the book, isn't Hermione at LEAST 15 days older than she should be?

Does YOUR head hurt too? you can thank the lovely people of MuggleCast who brought this mind-blowing subject to my attention (episode 59 for anyone who wants their brain to hurt further)

ONE


Yes my friends, tomorrow we witness the beginning of the end of the Harry Potter movies, The Penultimate Peril, the Second to Last Hurrah- The Deathly Hallows.
to thank those of you who read, I will give you some cool FACTS today

1. Fred and George were born on April Fools Day
2. Peeves, being a poltergeist, was never a living person. He is not a ghost but an indestructible spirit of chaos.
3. Dementors don't breed. They grow whereve there is decay.
4. Rowling has stated that Crookshanks is half-kneazle ( a kneazle is a highly intelligent, cat-like animal that has a penchant for sniffing out suspicious characters and fowl-play)
5. A magical quill detects the birth of every magical child in England, then McGonagall sends them and owl when they turn 11
6. When Ron sees Tom Riddle recieved an award for special services to the school he jokes that "Maybe he murdered Myrtle; that would've doen everyone a favour" when in fact, Myrtle died because she saw the basilisk that Tom had sent for
7. Most of the wizards in the Black family (extended too) are named after stars or constellations.


Well guys, its been fun, real, enlightening, but most of all MIND BLOWING (ps. the number of facts is no coincidence)
