General Facts Not Disclosed In The Books

What does that mean?
[/b][/quote]

I mean like....everyone is related to everyone else, even if it is really distant and too fare away to be recognised.

This is really good info. I've been on j.K.'s official sight loads of times and I couldn't find this stuff. But I did find some random facts about the weasly family. That red hair is supposedly bad luck. And so is the weasle hence the name weasly.

They have good luck too.
A way to figure out some extra stuff on her site is to find the secret things, like with the plant and the potions, stuff like that. Then, you get stuff in your scrapbook.

Wouldn't it be funny if Hermione was very distantly related to Draco! lol! He would keel over.

I have more!!!</span>

I got a book out of the Library called "A Muggles\'s Guide To The The World, Exploring the HARRY POTTER Universe.", and it has "Did You Know...\'s, so i thought i wuld put the good some up.

<span style="color:#FFFF00">J.K. Rowling\'s editor\'s wanted to remove the scene in Harry Potter and the Philosopher\'s Stone where Harry and Ron rescue Hermione from the troll. The author maintained the scene was key to the trio\'s friendship and fought to keep it in.

J.K. Rowling always planned for Hermione to have a younger sister. However, the character never made an appeaence throuout the course of writing, and J.J Rowling felt it would be too late to include her now with only two book remaining in the series.

It was possible that Charlie was a prefect too. Although Charlie is only ever mentioned as Quidditch Captain, Mrs Weasley remarks "That everyone in the family!" when Ron is made prefect. She also comments that Ron is the "fourth prefect in the family," which would suggest that the others were Percy, Bill...and Charlie.

And anagram of the word "Dursley" is "ruse, sly". How appropriate!

Denniss Creevey would have been too young to enter Hogsmeade when he attended the DA meeting in the Hogs Head. He was only a second year, and according to the rules, Hogsmeade visits don;t begin till third year, so he shouldn\'t have been there.

In an online chat for "world Book Day" in 2004, J.K. Rowling explained what happens to magical children before they come to Hogwarts. In the case of witches and wizards raised in the magical world, they either go to a Muggle primary school, or are home-schooled by their pareants (as was the case with all the Weasley children). In the case of Muggle born\'s, a special messenger is sent to their homes to explain everything to their parents - presumably, their parents will have noticed their children have had special abilities over the past ten years and so the news won\'t come as too much of a shock.

Al;though it is mentioned Marcus Flint is in sixth year, he is still mentioned as a seventh year in Harry third year. (When asked about this, J.K. Rowling explained that he failed a year) Because of this, fans have nickednamed any errors in the series "Flints"

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix sold 1,777,541 copies in Britain in just one day, making it the fastest selling book of all time.

Hagrid bred the Blast Ended Skrewts from Manticore\'s and Fire Crabs.

In the Yorkshire region of Britain, there was a legendary calf-sized black dog that haunted desolate roads, named Padfoot.

That\'s everything that sounds good.

Also, there is a part about all the differences between the books and the films,. So if you want that up, just tell me.

I actually knew most of the stuff that you all have posted. I have always had one question though. I don't reall it ever having been mentioned in any of the books though.

Are the Hogwart teacher married with families of their own?

I don't remember it ever being talked about but I really got to wondering after reading DH because in my mind I always saw Neville and Luna together. And where he is a teacher I just wondered.

We don't know if Neville is married, or if any of the teachers are, but Luna is married to a fellow naturalist, someone not from the books.

And Eurgh, Sirius and Regulus' parents were second cousins, or something- definitely breaking modern laws.

Um, doesn't Dean die in the end? refering to Tonks saying we should tell him about his father ? =\
