A/N *gasp* Well, that's 500 facts. I planned to stop here about 50 facts ago because I had zero time to spend on this book (which you can tell from my several month hiatus ^_^) and also it became extremely difficult to find new facts that weren't repeats or weren't super similar to the facts I had already posted. I had been writing down facts here and there to publish and I finally did it. ~Hooray~ So THANK YOU so much for making it this far! You're a true Harry Potter fan! I honestly never expected this book to become so popular, I only imagined, like, a couple hundred votes maximum, so THANK YOU for all your votes and comments!! <3<3 So while I'm ending this book here, feel free to check out my other HP-related book, "60 Day Harry Potter Challenge" where I've posted my opinions on the HP universe. Please leave your own opinions if you check it out, I'd love to hear them! Did you have a favorite HP fact? (Mine was the one about Voldemort wearing tights X'D) Feel free to share it in the comments! If you really enjoyed this book, don't forget to share it with other Potterheads! <3

Always.
