The
Harry Potter Lexicon never fails to deliver. :D Just a week after the book was launched, it now has a
listing of interesting facts gleaned from Order of the Phoenix.
Some of the more intriguing ones are:
- James Potter's way of torturing Snape, making him float in the air and turning him over? Why is that so much like how the Death Eaters tortured the Muggles during the Quidditch World Cup incident in Goblet of Fire?
- In the visitor's entrance to the Ministry of Magic, you will have to dial a number in the phone booth. The number? 62442. That spells M-A-G-I-C if you look at the alpha-numeric keys on your phone. :D
- Hermione's Patronus is an otter. JKR said in an interview before that if she were to have a Patronus, it would be an Otter. :)
- Harry never used to see Thestrals pulling the carriages of the school before. But now he does. In the recent Royal Albert Hall event with JKR, she said that it takes a while before a death is processed. Harry has witnessed 2. The first was his mother's. But he was too young for that to truly make an impression on him. The 2nd was Cedric's. But it took a while for him to come to terms with that, and so by the start of the school term in book 5, he starts to see those strange magical creatures.
- And this was noticed by Steve Vander Ark's (webmaster of the Lexicon) kid: Grimmauld Place is another of JKR's clever play on words. Grimmauld Place is actually a grim, old place. ;) Cool.
I think my Patronus would be a Phoenix. :D What would
your Patronus be?
Back to rereading. :D
