Harry Potter Carnival #29

Welcome to the 29th Harry Potter Carnival!

J.K. Rowling

Forbes magazine estimates that JKR made about £77 per minute last year. That works out to about $145 using today’s exchange rates.

Fan Art

This weeks fan artist is Mary Huff, who is no relation, but whose name did catch my eye ;) . Here is a sample (click to see larger version):

Tunnels of Gringotts

Theories and Speculation

Soccer Dad wonders why JKR chose the name Dumbledore, an archaic word meaning “bumblebee” in “I never did believe in the ways of magic.”

Hermione’s Library

HPL has given the Gryffindor section of the Hogwarts House Quidditch Teams page an overhaul and corrected some information as well as highlighted some inconsistencies in canon. Also, you can now subscribe to HPL’s What’s New page via an RSS reader. Cool!

Random Fandom

Did you know that the “actors” who play Fang were rescue dogs?

Just For Fun

Looking for something to read until Book 7 comes out? Robbie Fisher of Mugglenet’s Book Trolley has suggestions.

To submit Potterica for next week’s carnival, use my carnival submission form. Please note the category for which it should be considered. Deadline is 10:00 P.M. each Friday. I could especially use submissions for fan art!
