Well, J.K. Rowling, incapable of shutting it down, continues to help you clarify things, in case you didn’t know, and even if you didn’t want her to. She’s been giving additional backstories and even updates about what happened after the events of the franchise. I’m starting to think that she thinks it’s real. Wait. Is it real? Personally, I like a dash of finality in what I read and watch, so even if it comes straight from the mouth of the author, as it does in this case, I still have a problem with accepting additional information as canon. I’m not saying I won’t because there’s a school of thought that says you have to, but Rowling seems to add things all willy nilly, like “oh, I forgot to mention, Harry hates redheads #WeasleysAreGross.”
While I can half-heartedly deny it, many can’t. There are millions of fans that need to know everything about the films, every little detail. If the creator is still alive, they’ll bombard them with questions. Some of the details revealed after the fact are quite illuminating, potentially even changing your initial interpretation of events. Some things are revelations, interesting new angles to think about, and others are just pointless bits of trivia for you to annoy all your friends with. Well, I’m here to inform you, giving you the ammo that you need to show off how uncool you really can be. Go out there and be a know-it-all. Impress your people with insider knowledge that could change the way you view the Harry Potter films. I know you like the story, and I like you, so I asked J.K. what are some crazy secrets that will change the way we view Harry Potter, and she was like, “what are you doing in here?” Since she rudely ignored my question, I had to research to make my list. Here it is.
15. Harry And Voldemort Are Related
Did you know that Harry Potter and “he who shall not be named,” Mr. Voldemort, are in fact related? Well, they are. If you went through their family trees, you would see a convergence at the branch of the Peverell family. Cadmus Peverell, who had the Resurrection Stone, was the one that the House of Gaunt descended from and that includes Voldemort, and Harry’s family descends from Ignotus Peverell, the one with the invisibility cloak. Ignotus and Cadmus are brothers. So there you have it. This is a classic tale of family members bickering, fighting and trying to kill each other, basically every family Thanksgiving at my house.
