Many words in Harry Potter are anagrams of other things that hide
clues as to what is going to happen. Read on to find out more..
- Ollivanders is an anagram of Ronald Lives
This
could hold several meanings. I think it's safe to assume that Ronald is Ron, and so it may mean that Ron will not die throughout
the seven books. However, it may also have been a clue for Book 5. When Mrs. Weasley tackles the Boggart and Ron is sprawled
across the carpet, some of us thought he was actually dead. This anagram may have told us 3 books before that he wasn't really
dead in this instance. It may also tell us that if Ron does appear to die in future books, it will not be true.
- Ollivander is an anagram of An Evil Lord
This
could mean that Mr Ollivander is not someone to be trusted or is on the side of Voldemort.
- Severus Snape is an anagram of Perseus Evans or Persues
Evans
The first anagram, Perseus Evans, could mean several things. Perseus was a character in myth that, to put
it briefly, went on a courageous quest and ended up killing the God Poseidon to save the princess (Lily?). Also, the character
Medusa is linked with the legend of Perseus. Anyone who looked directly at Medusa was turned to stone. Can you say "Basilisk?"
Perseus also married Andromeda, who, as we learn in Book 5, is the name of Tonks' mother. Naturally, the Evans part could
mean either he is related to Lily or had a relationship with her.
The second anagram, Persues Evans, could mean that
Snape went after Lily, either to kill her or to have a relationship with her. The word is spelled "pursues" but this could
be a deliberate misspelling.
- Tom Marvolo Riddle is an anagram of I am Lord Voldemort
Obviously,
this one has already been shown to be important, but it just goes to show that a lot of information can be held in anagrams.
- Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is an anagram of Treachery
rests on Transported Hero
I'm almost positive this is conincidental, but it's interesting anyway! -Thanks Tyler.
- Dolores Jane Umbridge is an anagram of Dumbledore goes in
jar
Dumbledore means Bumblebee in Old English. Rita Skeeter was a beetle and ended up in a jar. Perhaps there is
a link between Dumbledore and Rita?
Remus Lupin is an anagram of Primus Lune
Primus
comes from the Latin word meaning first, or beginning, or perhaps full. Lune is from the French for moon. Lupin turns into
a werewolf when there's a full moon. Conincidence? -Thanks, Jenny
Hogwarts is an anagram of Ghost War
A battle between
the ghosts of Hogwarts a long time ago? Either that or perhaps it is meant figuratively, where the war will not be seen by
the teachers or students. -Thanks, Alex
The famous Harry Potter is an anagram of of Mother's triumph
at a year
Lily triumphed over Voldemort when she died to save Harry when he was a year old. -Thanks, Margie
Purge and Dowse Ltd is an anagram of Dad's leg, wound serpent
Arthur
Weasley got a bite from a snake, but not in the leg. Interesting anyway.
Drooble's Best Blowing Gum is an anagram of Gold bribe below
St. Mungos
Very interesting...in book 5, Neville's Mum gives him a gum wrapper. Is she passing on an important
message?
