16 "Harry Potter" Facts Even The Biggest HP Nerds Might Not Know




Harry Potter will forever live on in our hearts – and not just because we grew up with it. We’re lucky that the author and queen of our lives, J.K. Rowling, continues to bless us with little facts about the wonderful wizarding world. Rowling frequently takes to Pottermore and Twitter to share her thoughts on our favorite characters and where they are now, even if it can be controversial sometimes. I don’t care, Rowling! Ron and Hermione are meant to be together forever! Here are 16 facts that will knock you off your broomstick.


SHARE this with Potterheads who would enjoy these little-known facts!











1. Ilvermorny is the North American version of Hogwarts.


While we were patiently waiting for our letters from Hogwarts, we should’ve been excited to be accepted into Ilvermorny. It was founded in the early 18th century and is widely regarded as one of the top wizarding schools. I’m still waiting for my acceptance letter…




2. Whoops. We’ve all been pronouncing Voldemort’s name wrong.


Rowling revealed on Twitter that she always intended the “t” in Lord Voldemort to be silent even if she’s the only one who pronounces it like that. Maybe he’s French? Vol de mort in French means “flight of death.” I guess it doesn’t really matter since we’re not supposed to be saying his name anyway!











3. The history of Azkaban is creepy. Really creepy.


Originally, Azkaban was a fortress, not a prison, and never appeared on Muggle or wizard maps. A sorcerer named Ekrizdis lived on the island and practiced dark magic – and would lure Muggle sailors to the island to torture and kill them. Ekrizdis sounds scarier than dementors!




4. James Sirius Potter’s first day at Hogwarts was in 2015.


On September 1, Rowling tweeted that he was sorted into Gryffindor. Like father, like son.

16 Times Getting Drunk Really Paid Off

The worst thing about getting drunk is pretty much any decision you make while drunk.  But once in a while you get lucky and by some fluke, a messy night takes a turn for the better.   Maybe you discover a cool talent or go on an amazing drunk adventure. More likely, you discover a edible-looking hot dog lying on the sidewalk calling to you.  But whatever your drunk win is, it creates an experience so magical that alcohol-soaked you feels like the only person in the world… even though  you probably don’t remember a thing about it the next morning.  1. Your inability to stand up straight resulted in the best dance moves ever The alcohol gods are on your side when your unconscious self manages to do the worm. 2. You’re drunk and your oven is broken… And you really want pizza… 3. So you deep fry your pizza Drunk you is so smart. 4. A beautiful work of art This person got drunk and turned into Leonardo da Vinci.

Can Your Ex Tell The Difference Between Adele Lyrics And Drunk Texts? This Girl Found Out!

Adele’s new song “Hello” is perfect listening for anyone who wants to unnecessarily relive the emotional trauma of having your heart shattered into a billion pieces. The song is about the failures of reconnecting with a loved one after painful years apart. If you can get through the song without having a crippling, tear-soaked breakdown, then you likely have no heart. You also might find that the lyrics are uncannily similar to a drunken text you might send your ex. Mary Caldera noticed this similarity and decided to test it out on her ex-boyfriend, Matt. Poor Matt clearly didn’t get the reference. Naturally, Matt assumed Mary was just drunk texting him, and his deadpan and confused response is brilliant. If you think Mary was cruel for texting Matt and getting his hopes up, well, she didn’t stop there. She also posted the entire exchange on Twitter, much to our delight!
