For this list we're looking at the most
Interesting bits of information that the series author has shared with fans since the final book in the series was released
We are however focusing on things Jo has said herself rather than events that took place in the Cursed Child
Number 10 James Sirius Potter and Teddy lupins Hogwarts houses
Regardless of whether you choose to treat the events in the stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child as canon or not, before that
fans had spent years wondering what happened to their favorite characters after the books came to a close. When a
2015 tweet that uses the real world timeline of the books, which took place starting in 1991, JK gave us diehards some long-awaited
Information in that year Harry's son James Sirius would be entering his first year at Hogwarts
She tweeted that James was sorted into Gryffindor, to no one's surprise
But the more shocking reveal was the fact that Teddy Lupin and Tonks his son was actually a Hufflepuff and head boy to boot have
Number 9. There are 11 wizarding schools worldwide
Save for a couple of notable exceptions the Harry Potter series largely takes place in the Wizarding World of the United Kingdom
Readers had always been curious about what magic looked like abroad, and in recent years
they've been given a lot more insight into these other magical communities
On Pottermore JK Rowling not only revealed that there are eleven major wizarding schools around the world
But she has actually written pieces on each one so fans can learn more about the different ways magic is taught depending on the region
Number eight what she really thinks about Snape
Anyone who has read the books knows that Severus Snape is the series most complex and divisive character. Depending on who you ask
You'll either be told that he's a hero or that he doesn't deserve the accolades
He receives because of how he treated other characters
JK Rowling cleared up her thoughts on this enigmatic figure in a 2015 tweet?
She says that in her mind Snape is all gray and can't be easily defined as either a good guy or a bad guy
She also revealed that Harry gave his second son Snape's name to honor him for the sacrifices he had made
Number seven Harry and Ron stayed Hogwarts dropouts
During the final legs of the fight against Voldemort, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are all forced to leave school
In order to spend their time focusing on destroying Horcruxes
They missed their entire seventh year which is probably for the best considering
what was going on there during that time
It probably comes as a surprise to no one that after the Battle of Hogwarts was done and peace was restored
Hermione returned to school to complete the final year of her education
Equally unsurprising was the fact that Harry and Ron did not return
Likely coasting on the fact that they had, you know, defeated Voldemort instead
Number six Harry Ron and Hermione all went on to work for the ministry
despite their aframentioned abandonment of their studies
Harry and Ron along with Hermione all got jobs at the Ministry of Magic not long after the Battle of Hogwarts
Fulfilling a wish he first expressed in the fifth book Harry joined the Auror Department alongside Ron while Hermione worked in magical law
Enforcement where she also continued to advocate for the rights of house elves
Ron went on to help George at the joke shop after a couple of years while Harry continued on to eventually head the Auror Department
Hermione was eventually elected Minister of Magic
Number five Hogwarts tuition is free
JK Rowling hasn't hesitated to get a little political on social media
Commenting on various news pieces and giving her insight on how they relate to the world of Harry Potter
One thing many fans were happy to hear was that Hogwarts students do not pay any tuition. Things aren't perfect,
However because as we've seen in the books students do still have to pay for all of their books and supplies
Which causes families like the Weasleys some financial strife.
At least every witch and wizard has a right to education though
Number four some key characters were spared. By the end of the series many beloved characters had been lost
Some deaths had always been planned,
Because Rowling knew it was key to have Harry lose some of his mentors and finish his journey alone. In Order of the Phoenix
Rowling seriously considered killing Arthur Weasley because she knew the entire family couldn't realistically
Survive the war she had also considered at one time killing Ron though
This was more of a fleeting thought. In the end Lupin and Tonks were the ones who met their end at the Battle of Hogwarts
Though she hadn't always intended on killing them. It was her vision for Teddy's future that caused her to make the decision
Number three Hermione wasn't necessarily white
When casting news for the upcoming play the cursed child was released many were surprised by the fact that Noma Dumezweni, a black
Actress would be playing Hermione
Rowling quickly responded via Twitter with her support for the casting decision
Saying that in all the things she had written about Hermione over her seven books her race had never been directly specified
Long before this casting news there had been community supporting the idea of the character being black or a mixed race
So many fans were overjoyed by Rowling's announcement
Number two she kind of regrets putting Ron and Hermoine together
Most serious fans of the books saw Ron and Hermione's relationship coming from the beginning of the series, and
Rowling has always said that she always knew they would end up together
2014 however in an interview she did with Emma Watson, she admitted that the two may not have been the best pairing. She called the
Relationship wish-fulfillment and said that they have some basic
Incompatibilities that might have sent them to therapy later in life. While headlines at the time said otherwise,
Rowling never stated expressly that Hermione should have ended up with Harry instead
Before we unveil our top pick here are a few honorable mentions
Number 1 Dumbledore is gay
One of the bombshells that JKR dropped soon after the publication of Deathly Hallows with surprisingly little fanfare
Was the fact that our favorite Hogwarts headmaster was gay Dumbledore's gay
She downplayed the revelation as much as possible,
Saying that his sexuality wasn't relevant to Harry's story and therefore never appeared in the books
She has gone on to say that Dumbledore is her favorite character after Harry. She is a strong supporter of the
LGBTQ+ community and when asked if there were gay students at Hogwarts,
responded with this inspirational meme
