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.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
