35 Wizarding World Facts That Will Blow Your Mind
|By Ajay Tomar|
The Harry Potter Series captured everyone's hearts as one of the most loved book series in human history. Those who love the Harry Potter series know about its vastness. There are so many small details that usually get missed. In fact, there are still so many wizarding world facts that can blow our minds.
The original Harry Potter tale's five-part prequel series Fantastic Beasts is due for its third installment which releases in winters next year. Since Grindelwald returns, Dumbledore is there!
And it could reveal other surprising facts about the franchise moving forward. There are callbacks (er, call forwards?) galore. In JK Rowling's vast world, the movie is about to trace the exciting stories of the Wizarding World before potter's Storyline. One of the reasons we all love the Harry Potter book series is the sheer amount of attention to detail.
On numerous occasions, JKR has dropped important hints and facts for fans, about which fandom doesn't have an idea even before the final book. But the following list of details contains some of the most notable and odd factoids that weren't made until after the final novel by the famed author herself. There are some that are just Intriguing on their own. In fact, words like "Interesting, Intriguing, fascinating" are not enough to cover it.
I did a little research into Wizarding World's history and came up with the plethora of facts that people would definitely find fresh and exciting...

#3 In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the second book movie adaption, Lucius Malfoy states that he works at the Ministry. However, this is not the actual case because according to the 5th book, Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix, his son Draco Malfoy stated that his father just always visits In and Out of the Ministry. This implies he doesn't work for the Ministry.
