Just found a quiz titled:

āWhen Jo Rowling was coming up with names for her characters, she wasnāt just pulling them out of a hat.ā

Are you sure itās safe to say that? Absolutely? You sure thatās what Hermione smelled? I donāt think anyone else realized thatās what Hermione smelled.
āNumber 10. The meaning of Expecto Patronum.ā
Bonus: āAs it so happens, that incantation didnāt just come out of nowhere. Jo did some digging (as most writers tend to do)ā

āUnless youāre some kind of wood expert (and if you are, good for you), then you probably didnāt know that a Holly tree is also known as āThe Tree of Sacrifice.ā
Tree expertā¦ or you knowā¦ Google
