Well, that question in yesterday's article was not a challenge for y'all. In case you need a refresher the question was…. What is the first spell we hear Bellatrix try to cast? The answer was Accio! Bellatrix Lestrange was saying Accio Prophecy in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix but Harry cut her off. Here are the people who answered the question right and definitely got an Outstanding on their OWLS: *Hermione Granger Potter* *Violet Kohler* *Sirius Lupin* *Hazel Anderson*


DUMBLEDORE WAS NEVER MASTER OF THE ELDER WAND

Plausibility: strong
The Elder Wand only truly changes ownership when one wizard bests the wizard he is taking the wand from. Because a wizard must demonstrate significant power over the wizard he's taking the wand from, this theory hypothesized that Dumbledore was never the true master of the Elder Wand — Voldemort was. To know what's going on we're going to have to track the chain of possession of the Elder Wand. Dumbledore took the wand from Grindelwald, who stole the wand from Gregorovitch. Because stealing is a cowardly act, not an act of power, it follows that Grindelwald was never actually the master of the Elder Wand, and neither was Dumbledore. Instead, Voldemort became master of the Elder Wand when he killed Gregorovitch, and Harry became master of the Elder Wand when he survived Voldemort's second killing curse. Boom!

Muggle to Wizard Ratio

Have you ever wondered if you know who was thinking straight? Okay, that didn't come out right but what's the ratio is there more wizards or more muggles? Well, your answer puts Vol-He who must not be named in the loony bin because the ratio is 5,000 to 1. In case you didn't catch that I mean for every one wizard there would be five thousand muggles to match that. So I guess in conclusion to this information; keep our secret and don't start an uprising!

Hunger Games Characters in Hogwarts House

Even though all of these characters (to our knowledge) are muggles I decided I would sort them into their Hogwarts house because I not only read watched but also loved the series. If you have any questions about my reasoning please owl Kaela Black!
Katniss Everdeen- Gryffindor
Peeta Mellark- Hufflepuff
Gale Hawthorne- Gryffindor
Haymitch Abernathy- Slytherin
Effie Trinket- Ravenclaw
Prim Everdeen- Hufflepuff
Finnick Odair- Gryffindor
President Snow- Slytherin

Fun Fact!

Dumbledore is an Old English word for “bumblebee.” Rowling said she chose the name because she pictured Dumbledore humming to himself
