In 1997, the world was first introduced to Harry Potter when Rowling published "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". The first book grabbed readers of all ages, and it launched a young-adult fantasy fiction series that has since become a cult classic. In 2000, the fandom exploded to a new level when Warner Brothers began a film series adapting the novels. Rowling's story continued with the seventh book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", which was published in 2007. And the films were completed a few years later with the release of the second part of the Deathly Hallows adaptation in 2011.
For almost two decades, our favorite group of wizards at Hogwarts has taught us great lessons about friendship, acceptance, love, and bravery. However, the real magic still lingers even after the film ends because it contains several little-known facts.
So, in this post, we will tell you 15 fun facts about the Wizarding world that we bet you didn't know. Scroll down to see.

#4 Harry's scar is noticeably faded in the film's last shot. It's an allusion to the novel series' final sentence, “The scar had not pained Harry for 19 years. All was well.”

#5 Severus Snape and Gryffindor’s scarf

One of the most controversial characters in the series is Severus Snape. It’s not without reason that we see a striped scarf from Gryffindor hanging on the wall at the scene where he is killed. Perhaps he represents Severus' true nature, and in due time he should have gone to Gryffindor, not to Slytherin. And the scarf may be implying that people can change for the better.

#6 In the third film, when Hermione appears in class out of nowhere, we can see her time turner around her neck, which she conceals in the next shot.

#7 Hermione throws her books to the ground when Lockhart unleashes the pixies because she knows the pixies will rip anything in plain sight apart.

#8 In JK Rowling's world, the number seven is a symbolic number. Furthermore, Lord Voldemort has seven Horcruxes and Harry is quite symbolic too. However, the costume designer said that the choice of this number for the Quidditch uniform is a reference to David Beckham, who used to play under this number.

#9 In "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", the professor of Defence has a wig on his table.

#12 The scarves offer pointers to each person's personality. Hermione tightens it as precisely as possible. Harry drapes the scarf's end over his shoulder. Ron doesn’t tie it.

#13 Voldemort's garments darken, his eyelids droop, and little sores form on his skin as the novel progresses and Harry and his friends begin to destroy the Horcruxes, indicating that he is becoming weaker.

#14 During the film, Dolores maintains the same hairstyle and pink tone. But the pinks are becoming increasingly hotter because she becomes more and more hysterical.

#15 Lord Voldemort's wand was added a hook so that he could move more fluidly and "snake-like" without the wand sliding out of his fingers
