Less than a week...

Ever wonder what the Hogwarts staff does during the holidays? We already know Snape has a house in London where he stays in the summer, and if he does, than who else does as well? According to Rowling, the only permanent residence of Hogwarts are Dumbledore, Filch, and Hagrid (those three would have fun summer nights...) while the rest of the staff can go home to their families and spouses.  Spouses? It never crossed my mind Professor Sprout could be Mrs. Sprout...

Mind blowing, they are normal people (except for being wizards)

24 quote

" 'Dirty Blood.' Why, there isn't a wizard alive today that's not half-blood or less. More to the point, they've yet to think of spell that our Hermione can't do." I can always rely on Hagrid for my sentimental quotes (from Chamber of Secrets)

27 quote

"Everyone starts at the beginning...Just be yerself. I know it's hard...But yeh'll have a great time" Everyone's favorite pseudo-intellectual psuedo-giant Hagrid, improper english and all. (once again from Sorcerer's Stone)

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

"I'm going to Hagrid's, I've got a good feeling about going to Hagrid's" High as a kite on Felix Felicis, Harry decides to vist Ol' Haggy.

"Never wondered how you got that mark on yer forehead? That was no ordinary cut. That's what you get when a powerful, evil curse touches yeh -- took care of yer mum an' dad an' house, even -- but it didn't work on you, an' that's why yer famous, Harry" Bringing you back to Sorcerer's Stone, with a relate quote to Deathly Hallows - Hagrid style
