(#37) Hogwarts Supports LGBT Students

Rowling got this question on Twitter: “It’s safe to assume that Hogwarts had a variety of people and I think to think it’s a safe place for LGBT students.”

Rowling responded: “But of course.” She included the above image to make her point as clearly and charmingly as possible.

(#10) Post-Hogwarts, Ron and Harry Did All Right

Once you put “killed Dark Lord” on your resume, you are probably set for life. Who needs a degree? Hogwarts dropouts Harry and Ron were perfect for the job of Auror at the Ministry of Magic. Basically, Harry and Ron get to be detectives. Spinoff please!

Rowling said, "He's needed. Kingsley [Shacklebolt, Minister of Magic] would've wanted Ron, Neville, Harry and they would've all gone, and they would've all done the job. And I think that that would've been a good thing for them, too."

Although Neville ends up teaching herbology, certainly Harry and Ron would need his expertise now and again. Especially if they ever needed someone to cast a mad spell in a cardigan.

Ron didn’t last long as an Auror. Ron left his job at the Ministry to “co-manage the highly successful wizarding joke emporium Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes.” We’re sure Hermione was totally cool with that.

(#30) Harry Potter and Ron Weasley Never Graduated from Hogwarts

If you’ve defeated the Dark Lord and been nearly killed several times in doing so, a degree doesn’t quite mean as much as when you started. In a 2007 interview on "Pottercast," Rowling explained, "Ron was really done with schooling. It would be kind of tempting to go back just to mess around for a year and have a break."

Rowling said she could see Harry making an appearance every now and again to give the "odd talk" on Defense Against the Dark Arts. Having spent his entire existence on the run from Voldemort, we can only hope he spent a lot of time on a beach with Ginny before having kids.

(#29) There Was a Jewish Wizard

A fan tweeted to Rowling: “My wife said there are no Jews at Hogwarts. I’m a Jew so I assume she said it to be the only magical 1 in the family. Thoughts?”
Rowling responded: “Anthony Goldstein, Ravenclaw, Jewish wizard.”

(#39) Rowling Regrets Killing Off Florean Fortescue

Besides Hermione and Ron's relationship, Rowling has another regret: killing off Florean Fortescue, the owner of the Diagon Alley ice cream parlor. “I seemed to have him kidnapped and killed for no good reason,” she wrote. “He is not the first wizard whom Voldemort murdered because he knew too much (or too little), but he is the only one I feel guilty about, because it was all my fault.”

(#35) We've All Been Pronouncing Voldemort Wrong

For years, you've probably been saying the Voldemort with a hard "t" at the end. That's how seemingly everyone says the villain's name and it's even how it's pronounced in the movies. Turns out it's also wrong. The "t" is silent.
J.K. Rowling herself confirmed this pronunciation fact after a fan dropped the trivia on Twitter. "... but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who pronounces it that way," the author added.
