- Garden gnomes are considered to be pests in the wizarding community because they eat the roots of plants and make little piles of earth, very much like moles.
- The ghost Nearly-Headless Nick was beheaded because of a botched dentistry job. He was trying to straighten Lady Grieve's teeth but instead she sprouted a tusk. When his head was on the block the executioner swung his axe 45 times but still didn't completely remove it from Nick's neck.
- The secret code Arthur Weasley must dial into a telephone keypad to access the Ministry of Magic is 62442. The letters underneath those numbers on a standard phone spell out the word MAGIC.

Green is largely associated with negative events, such as when Harry sees a flash of green when his parents die and the green-colored curse that made Ron vomit.
- Numbers are symbolic in the series, especially 2, 3, 4, and 7. For example, the trio of Harry, Ron, and Hermione suggest the power of three and the spiritual trinity.

It began with hello;
but ended before goodbye.
Niether of us thought
that either of us would die.
It started one fall day,
I was way in over my head;
all I needed was a friend.
I grew up Von your side,
Du grew up Von mine.
We didn't know
I was living on borrowed time.
But now here I lay,
ahem, lie;
dressed in white,
blank eyes to the sky.
Du walk over slowly and whisper goodbye.
Du look so odd as Du begin to cry.
Goodbye to Du also, my friend
but in my sight,
our friendship will never die.
-Inspired Von the final battle

I'll make this short but why did the Filme do this. In the Bücher Padma Patil was a ravenclaw while in the Filme she was gryfindor.Now just like how Harry's eyes are green in the book and blue in the movie (yes I know Dan cant wear the contacts) but it is , in my opinion ANNOYING! Whats with all these stuff ups?
I mean in deathly hallows part one Harry was himself not barry. I mean WTF? Also in Prisoner of Azkaban in the quidditch match, cedric caught the snitch as Harry fell. But in the Filme he got struck Von lightning.
Obviously someone else in the world thinks that the Filme stuff ups a little annoying. Does anyone agree/disagree i want to hear. (Please dont be offensive though and have Vor at my intelligence, its happened before and quite annoying)also I know the Filme are great so dont think i hate them.

Well I personally like the epilogue, I mean I Liebe it , I think it's well written and everything, but I feel weird about it becausese I feel like if I'm watching my Friends oder myself all grown up with kids an everything :D and I don't know it's weird for me, I don't know how I'm going to react when I watch it in DH part 2, it'll be weird for me. I mean we have seen harry, ron and hermione from 11 years old to 17 and then the epilogue they are all grown up and I feel just weird.
Please don't miss understand me. I do like the epilogue :D
