Nov 22, 2016 · Nicolas Flamel was a real person, and many of Rowling’s fantastic beasts she borrowed from elsewhere – including from the ancient world, writes Natalie Haynes.
Sep 23, 2021 · However, while the stories themselves are fictional, real world inspiration lies behind the series. There are tons of Harry Potter references based on real life events, myths, or traditions. JK Rowling has a knack for foreshadowing what's going to happen in Harry Potter with historical references.

Dec 15, 2020 · Thanks to the unkind ways of Rowling's real-life maternal grandmother, Frieda, whom the author describes as someone who enjoyed the company of "her dogs to human relatives," the caustic and...

Harry and Ginny have found relative domestic bliss following the trauma of their teen years. They have three children: James Sirius, Albus Severus, and Lily Luna. When Harry's not busy apologizing to Albus Severus for giving him the worst name of all time, he has a busy career. Harry fulfilled his dream of becoming an Auror and eventually rose to t...
Hermione and Ron have also enjoyed romantic happiness (in spite of some naysaying) and have two children, Rose and Hugo. Ron joined Harry as an Auror at the Ministry of Magic, where they "revolutionized" the department. After only two years, Ron left the Ministry to comanage the wizarding joke emporium Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, alongside his brothe...
After changing allegiances at the last minute, the entire Malfoy clan avoided imprisonment in Azkaban following the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998. Draco married Astoria Greengrass, and together, they raised their son Scorpius to have more tolerant views. Details about Draco's career remain fuzzy—he pretty much seems to be a pureblood trust-fund baby l...
After his stealth fast track to the title of Hogwarts' sexiest man alive (see: every recent photo of Matthew Lewis), Neville ultimately returned to school. Following a brief stint as an Auror, Harry's loyal friend returned to Hogwarts as a Herbology professor, where he became one of the school's most beloved teachers. He married Hannah Abbott from ...
Luna indulged her love of rare (and possibly imaginary) magical creatures by becoming a magizoologist (magical naturalist). It's fitting, then, that she married Rolf Scamander, grandson of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them author Newt Scamander. They have twin sons, Lorcan and Lysander. Most likely, they spend their spare time hunting for Cru...
Goyle's occupation and whereabouts are unknown (though he's undoubtedly still mourning his bromance with Vincent Crabbe). We kind of hope his present-day life is something like that of the actor who portrayed him in the films, as Joshua Herdman became an amateur MMA cage fighter. Malfoy did always rely on Goyle for his muscle more than his brains.
Harry's first crush survived the Battle of Hogwarts and then married a Muggle…which, honestly, is just such a Cho Chang thing to do.
TBD. Brown was ravaged by Fenrir Greyback during the Battle of Hogwarts, but was later seen "feebly stirring," a hopeful phrasing that has caused heated debate among fans.
Harry's first adult friend and confidante is still living and working on the grounds at Hogwarts. Despite a brief romance with Madame Maxime, he never married because she was too "sophisticated" for them to be a good long-term match. Harsh, Madame M, harsh.
Survived, but whereabouts unknown. Rumor has it he went to law school in the States where he learned how to get away with murder. (But really, J.K., where is he? Is he a manager for West Ham now? What's the deal?)
