7 Little Known Harry Potter Facts Every Fan Needs To Know

1. The Michael Jackson Musical

Michael Jackson approached the author J.K Rowling about making a musical based off her Harry Potter books, but she turned down the idea. Would you have seen it if it happened?

2. The better fit

Tom Felton, otherwise known as Draco Malfoy, originally auditioned to play Harry Potter or Ron Weasley. Although, he ended up as Draco Malfoy, and I think we all agree with the role placement. He made a great Malfoy but can't be imagined as anyone else.

3. The death of Voldemort

When Voldemort was killed in the Battle of Hogwarts he was 71 years old. Most people are unaware of how old he lived to be!

4. The marriage

Professor McGonagall was once married to her old boss at the Ministry. His name was Elphinstone Urquart, but he died just three years into the marriage from a deadly bite.

5. The two almost deaths

J.K Rowling almost killed Ron Weasley "out of spite". What would Harry Potter be without him? Another Weasley family member that almost died was Ron's father, Arthur. However, instead of killing him, she killed Sirius Black. Do you agree with her decision?

6. The free school

Schooling at Hogwarts is free because the Ministry of magic covers the tuition. WHAT? Why am I not enrolled there yet?

7. The Quidditch Player

Ginny Weasley, who married Harry Potter, became a professional Quidditch player for a team named the Holyhead Harpies. However, she retired to take care of her and Harry's children.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
