A detail that even some Harry Potter fans didn't notice |
Hello everyone, today I wanted to try my hand at this little article, just to point out a rather interesting detail: how many times is the number 7 used in the Harry Potter saga? According to Italian YouTuber scottecs, 7 is the ultimate measure of anything. (The days of the week, Snow White's dwarves, musical notes, the kings of Rome, the lives of cats, the wonders of the world...) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hj8y4QIwrd0 Even in Harry Potter, 7 is the ultimate measure of anything. Let's look at some examples. How many Harry Potter books are there? Seven. How many school years are there at Hogwarts? Seven. How many floors does Hogwarts have? Seven. And coincidentally, how many letters are in the author's last name: Rowling? Seven! COINCIDENCES? How many letters are in the last names Granger and Weasley? Seven. The players on a Quidditch team? Seven, and Harry happens to be wearing shirt number seven. The price of a wand? Seven Galleons. Voldemort's Horcruxes? Seven: the word itself, Horcrux, is composed of seven letters. Arthur and Molly Weasley's children? Seven. The secret passages of the Marauder's Map? Seven. Types of spells? Transfiguration, Charm, Invoice, Curse, Hex, Counter spells, and Healing spells. SEVEN. The initial subjects at Hogwarts? Charms, Transfiguration, DADA, Potions, Herbology, Astronomy, and History of Magic. Seven. (I don't count flying because they only had one lesson.) The golden snitches Harry caught in every book? Seven. Spells like Protego, Reducto, Imperio, Expulso, Depulso, and Anapneo have formulas consisting of how many letters? Seven. The trials to obtain the Philosopher's Stone? SEVEN. At what age do wizards cast their first involuntary spells? Seven. How many pairs of socks did Dobby receive? SEVEN. How many people turn into Harry with Polyjuice Potion? SEVEEEEEENNNNNNNN! How many Teen Choice Awards have the Harry Potter films won? SEVEEEEEENNNNNN! How many actors have played Voldemort in the movies? SEVEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNN! Thaddeus Thurkell had seven children, all Squibs. Did you enjoy discovering all these details?
