The Deathly Hallows story, the Tale of the Three Brothers, was based on The Pardoner’s Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer.

Dumbledore’s Boggart – and therefore the thing he fears most – is the dead body of his sister, Ariana.

J.K. Rowling was the first ever person to become a billionaire (in US dollars) by writing books. She was also the first ever female dollar billionaire.

Dumbledore was able to see Harry under his invisibility cloak by using the human-presence-revealing-spell ‘homenum revelio’; because he is such a powerful wizard, he could perform this magic without using a wand or even saying the words out loud.

When Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was released in the UK, Bloomsbury asked stores not to sell the book until the end of the school day, to prevent truancy.

The Harry Potter books were the first children’s books to make the New York Times Bestseller list since E.B. White’s Charlotte’s Web in 1952. And because they stayed in the top spots of the fiction list for such a long time, a Children’s Bestseller list was subsequently created.

So many people were taking pictures of Platforms 9 and 10 at King’s Cross Station, that the management decided to mount a sign onto the wall saying ‘Platform 9 3/4’.

The Hogwarts school motto is Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus, which, translated from Latin, means ‘Never tickle a sleeping dragon.’

Ernie Prang and Stanley Shunpike – the conductor and driver of the Knight Bus – were named after J.K. Rowling’s grandfathers, Ernie Rowling and Stanley Volant.

Harry was present at the death of every single marauder. We’ll just let that one sink in for a minute…

The Mirror of Erised shows the user their deepest desire; and what is Erised spelled backwards? Desire. Also, when read backwards, the engraving on the mirror’s frame – Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi – states: “I show not your face but your heart’s desire.”

Arthur Weasley eventually gets round to fixing Sirius’ motorbike years later, and passes it on to Harry.

ROWLING AND HARRY SHARE A BIRTHDAY.
They both blow out candles on July 31 (happy birthday, JKR!).

And that’s not the only influence Rowling had on her characters: She’s said that Hermione is a bit like her when she was younger, and her favorite animal is an otter—which is, of course, Hermione’s patronus. Plus, both Dumbledore and Rowling like sherbet lemons (Rowling said that the wizard’s “got good taste”).

James and Lily Potter were literally soul mates. We know this because Patronuses are physical representations of people’s souls – James’ Patronus was a stag and Lily’s was a doe.

The first and last words spoken by Dobby the House Elf in the books are “Harry Potter.”

EARLY ON, ROWLING WROTE A SKETCH OF THE FINAL CHAPTER OF THE FINAL BOOK. Rowling calls the idea that she had the first chapter of Deathly Hallows written and locked away in the safe “rubbish.” But there was a small element of truth to it

Pansy Parkinson didn’t end up marrying Draco because Rowling says she always hated her: “She’s every girl who ever teased me at school. She’s the Anti-Hermione. I loathe her.”

THE DEMENTORS ARE BASED ON ROWLING’S STRUGGLE WITH DEPRESSION AFTER HER MOTHER’S DEATH. Rowling’s mother, who had multiple sclerosis, died in 1990, after which Rowling suffered a period of depression. She would use the experience to characterize the Harry Potter’s dementors, creepy creatures that feed on human emotion.

Fred and George Weasley once threw snowballs in Voldemort’s face! How? When they bewitched them to hit the back of Professor Quirrell’s head in the Philosopher’s Stone, they were unknowingly hitting Voldemort’s face underneath the turban!

In Greek mythology, Cassandra was a seer who was given her powers by the God Apollo; the same god who later cursed her so that no-one would believer her powers. Professor Trelawney’s great grandmother’s name was Cassandra.
