Frequently Asked Questions

What are all 7 Horcruxes?

The seven Horcruxes are: Tom Riddle's diary, Marvolo Gaunt's ring (which contained the Resurrection Stone), Salazar Slytherin's locket, Helga Hufflepuff's cup, Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem, Nagini the snake, and Harry Potter himself (an unintentional Horcrux created when Voldemort's Killing Curse rebounded). Voldemort chose objects connected to the four Hogwarts founders whenever possible.

Why was Snape's Patronus a doe?

Snape's Patronus was a doe because it matched Lily Potter's Patronus β€” a reflection of his lifelong, unrequited love for her. When Dumbledore asked Snape if he still loved Lily after all the years that had passed, Snape cast his doe Patronus and replied simply, "Always." It is one of the most emotional reveals in the entire series.

How many publishers rejected Harry Potter?

J.K. Rowling's manuscript for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was rejected by 12 publishers before Bloomsbury accepted it in 1997. The editor's eight-year-old daughter read the first chapter and immediately demanded the rest, which helped convince Bloomsbury to take a chance on the unknown author. The series went on to sell over 500 million copies worldwide.
