10 Amazing Hidden Things You Didn't Know About Harry Potter
From the original proposed death of MAJOR character to Hedwig doing things snowy owls can not, there's plenty more to JK Rowling's masterwork.
Warner Bros.It is quite the understatement that Harry Potter is well-known and well-loved. The seven Harry Potter books have collectively sold nearly half a billion copies altogether, a number that grows steadily; the series is third on the list of the most-read books in the world in the past fifty years. It holds a special place on the mantelpiece of popular culture, the kind that signifies youve either read it or youve been living under a rock for the last decade or so. Despite this immense and widespread popularity however, the multibillion-dollar series has still kept a few secrets to itself. A world as expansive and rich as Harry Potters has more deep-rooted symbolism - with names, creatures, objects, and more - behind it than most expect for a purported childrens series: there are hidden meanings and authorial intentions galore that most casual fans of the series have no idea exist. In fact, there are avid aficionados who can tell you the at the drop of a hat what year dragon breeding was outlawed (guilty as charged, its 1709), who can declaim on the etymological roots of incantations or who can trace centuries of Black family lineage, yet even they might not be aware of some of these interesting facts hidden in the shadows of the Harry Potter universe.
