Harry Potter fun facts you might not know about

Harry Potter Logo
Harry potter,Almost half the population knows about this name has created quiet a frenzy among the kids,teens as well as adults.This was something that created such a frenzy that even the harry potter merchandise did and continues to do a lot of business still.J.K Rowling really is a class apart and its very rare that we end up getting such gems if you just think about life before harry potter you probably would not even be recognizing J.K Rowling.The harry potter was one of the movies that was beautifully adapted from the books and the director succedeed quiet a lot in making sure that if he was not able to recreate the magic the book created atleast he was able to go as close as he could.I just found out a few things any of an harry potter fan would like.
  • In the Spanish Translation of the Harry Potter books,Neville Longbottom's toad Trevor has been translated as a turtle instead of a frog
  • Over the course of the harry potter movies 6 actors have played Voldemort.
  • Dumbledore is an early modern English name for "Bumblebee"
  • The least financially successful harry potter film made $90 million more than the most successful twilight movie.
  • Dragon Blood is an effective oven cleaner.
  • Harry Potter actor Danielle Radcliffe voiced the cartoon parody of Twilight's Edward Cullen,on the Simpsons.
  • Vol De Mort means flight of death in french.
  • The Actress who played Moaning Myrtle is actually 37 years old and is the oldest actress to portray a Hogwarts student.
  • The driver and conductor of the knight bus Ernie and Stanley are named after Rowling's grandfathers.
  • The Weasley twins aren't actually red heads
  •  JK Rowling is the first person to become a billionaire by writing books.
  • So many fans visit the King's cross station to take pictures of platform 9 and 10 that the station management erected a sign that says "Station 9 3/4"
  • Rowling has said that when she took the online sorting hat quiz it sorted her into hufflepuff
  • The death eaters were originally known as kings of Walpurgis.
  • The Hogwarts school motto is "Draco domiens nunquam titillandus" which is latin  for "never tickle a sleeping dragon"
  • An outbreak of lice occured among the children cast members during the filming of Chamber of secrets.
  • Avada Kevadra derives from the Aramaic phrase Abhadda Kedhabhara which means "to disappear like this world.
 The above facts are based on what i got after a bit of research online so im not sure of the authenticity but sounds cool doesn't it?

How great would it be if they have another happy potter movie,i mean i know it ended  but still we feel like we should have at least one more.As the saying goes nothing can feed the appetite of a Harry Potter fan no matter how many harry potter movies come out.
