Once upon a time , theHarry Potterfandom was rife with theories about the forthcoming playscript releases . From shipping to Horcruxes , fan argued back and forth about what would be canon and what would n’t . poove of these debates was the author herself , J.K. Rowling . Any sort of titbit about traditional knowledge or history from the Book was eagerly devoured by the serial publication fan .
However , as the book give up and clip went on , Rowling ’s lore drops begin to be more and more gonzo . Over metre , J.K. ’s status as Queen of Harry Potter has wear away , and some fan wish she would stay on silent . She has now clear a reputation for doing more harm than skilful to the fandom that once venerated her , making her a chip of a ludicrous figure . To cut through that ridiculousness , allow ’s see what are some of the craziest thing J.K. Rowling made canyon since Harry Potter ended .
Updated September 11th , 2020 by George Chrysostomou : The Harry Potter serial has systematically bring about some strange fact as more elements of the Wizarding world get bring into the canyon . Here ’s a few more that have nonplus audiences over the history of the franchise .
The Immortal Trolley Lady
The trolley lady seemed like a welcoming witch whose tariff was to serve the educatee that used the Hogwarts Express . She always appeared to be incredibly happy with her job and just an average employee .
It ’s unknown then thatThe Cursed Childbrought into the canon that she was actually an immortal fauna of sort that acted as a defense team mechanism for the string , almost killing Albus Potter .
Voldemort’s Boggart
If fans ever inquire what Voldemort ’s boggart could have been , then J.K. Rowling has provided an solution . However , it ’s likely not a transformation that fans would have been expected .
Voldemort ’s greatest fearfulness has always been last , and therefore a boggart would transmute itself into his own corpse . It ’s an odd image to guess , but at least it does seem to fit with the character .
Future Chocolate Frogs
Harry , Ron , and Hermione eventually become icons in the wizarding community of interests after being the trio responsible for leading the charge against Voldemort and his USA of Death Eaters .
One singular fact is that a puerility dream of Ron ’s eventually fare true , with all three former Hogwarts scholarly person receiving their own images in chocolate frogs . It must be middling eldritch seeing their own face asterisk back at them .
Luna And Neville’s Relationship
Luna and Neville never had a kinship in the book , but the films decided to create a newfangled canyon where they had a abbreviated summer love story after the events of the battle of Hogwarts .
It ’s a variety that surprised fans at the time , but it also seems to be one that Rowling has backed down on a bite , with the pair seemingly not actually spending that much time together .
The Origin Of Hogwart’s Name
The name of Hogwarts is seemingly ground on the town Hogsmeade , or so fan thought . However , the townsfolk was built after the school and J.K. Rowling has provided a novel story as to how the Hogwarts name came to be .
Helena Ravenclaw , one of the founders of the school , in reality find fault the name . Oddly , she had a dream about a warty hog and believe it was an appropriate title for an educational founding . The name does n’t seem all that mysterious now .
Uncle Vernon Is Pro Brexit
Uncle Vernon ’s aversion for anything outside of the ordinary is well document throughout the book series . From his casual pitilessness of Harry growing up to his desperate attempts to keep him from Hogwarts , Vernon ’s antics frame on laughable at time . So when the real - life Brexit referendum cross the U.K. , one sports fan ’s observation of how Uncle Vernon might vote was sustain by Rowling herself on Twitter .
This is a true - to - fictional character affair to make canon , but it also total an uncomfortable level of political sympathies to a book series that shied away from real - world political actions . give as well that Vernon would be well into his 60 ’s or 70 ’s at this point in his life , it ’s not something that fans necessarily deal about one path or another .
Dumbledore Taught Multiple Subjects At Hogwarts
It was a cognize fact during the serial that prior to his post as Headmaster of Hogwarts , Dumbledore taught Transfiguration . So when Dumbledore was shown inFantastic fauna : The Crimes of Grindelwaldteaching Defense Against the Dark Arts , fans became concerned .
No mention of this was ever made apparent in the book serial and somewhat confuses the Harry Potter timeline . While it ’s not the most egregious thing J.K. has made canyon , it ’s just one more brick in the wall J.K. has built between herself and the fans of her book serial over the years .
McGonagall’s Bad Luck With Love
Stern Transfiguration prof and Deputy Head Mistress Minerve McGonagall is a boisterous quality in the Harry Potter serial publication . As a mentor and ally to Harry , she becomes priceless to his combat against Voldemort . But J.K. released on Pottermore a long backstory detailing McGonagall ’s family account that oversee to undercut her strength and resolve by form the central quandary of her life history revolve around relationships rather of her skill .
From a whirlwind but ultimately doom - to - run out romance with a Muggle man to a short - lived marriage with a much old man who used to be her boss , it undercut McGonagall ’s knotty and reserved outside . While it ’s not bad to prepare side characters and to give them relationships , the centering of McGonagall ’s total backstory revolving around these misplace loves changes how one catch the character throughout the serial publication .
Hogwarts Is Tuition Free
Rowling has made it clear in multiple interviews how rosy she was for the British welfare organisation when write the books . As a poor individual mother , they allowed her to provide for her family until the playscript were published . Perhaps that ’s why she announced that students at Hogwarts do not pay for tuition ; the Ministry of Magic pays for all sorcerous didactics expenses .
The issue with that though is that we see the Weasley family buying schoolhouse essentials for their children throughout the series . Would n’t verge and schoolhouse supplies be a part of the tuition that the Ministry is paying for ? While a sympathetic whim , it contradicts with antecedently established panorama throughout the Holy Writ serial publication .
Dumbledore Has Another Sibling
One of the Brobdingnagian reveals ofFantastic Beasts 2was the Revelation of Saint John the Divine that Credence Barebone might be someone else entirely . As revealed by Grindelwald , the young man is , in fact , Aurelius Dumbledore , long - lost buddy to Albus and Aberforth .
This is outre for multiple reasons . Chief among them is that a recite - all book about Dumbledore was published by Rita Skeeter to stymie his family name . If anyone were to have dug up that family dirt , it would have been Rita . Second , the timeline for his parturition makes no mother wit . He is clearly younger than Albus , and given his approximate years , his father would have been in Azkaban and his female parent dead . While it may show to be a misdirect , it ’s still enormously canyon - breaking on Rowling ’s part to have it mentioned at all .
