THREE


the pressure is on for me to make these last facts particularly mind-blowing, but they will most like be normal run-of-the-mill but hey, its not like my fact will eclipse THE MOVIE IN THREE DAYS.

"the run down definition" of Rubeus Hagrid's name
Rubeus - Latin for something produced by a bramble or thicket, something "wild" (Hagrid has a wild personality...and hair)
Hagrid - most likely comes rom haggard, which means wild or unruly
Rowling has also said Hagrid is named after an old English phrase hag-rid which means you had a bad night, (Hagrid is a big drinker) teehee.

"Neville Longbottom "- MuggleCast just told me his name means "absent-minded proffesor" in Latin

and, perhaps most oddly, "Dumbledore" means bumblebee, which Rowling says she chose because she liked to imagine Dumbledore buzzing aroudn the castle, humming to himself.

Mind Blown
