Finally, passages about magic compared to control book passages tended to elicit more surprise and more reading pleasure. We tend to find joy in reading about things that we haven't or won't experience in our own lives.

In a series of three fMRI studies, researchers have also examined people's emotional responses to reading passages from the Harry Potter books, demonstrating which brain regions are activated when emotive book passages are read.

First up, some good news! One study has shown that there's no association between the sale of the books and movies and the number of owls legally bought as pets in the UK, or the abandonment of owls to santuaries.

31 July is @jkrowling and Harry Potter's birthday! As a nod to one of the greatest book series of all time, today we're going to be highlighting some #HarryPotter -related scientific research that's been published in the 22 years since the first book came out✨
@katiemontour And every weekday morning, I do not need to pass by the birthplace of Alexander Graham Bell in South Charlotte Street, Edinburgh, Scotland, to remind you that the inventor of the telephone was born in Scotland. Just saying. https://t.co/D51qdS6ulD

@EldritchAuthor What's the said theory on the method to create horcruxes?
Does it include taking a lock of hair from 'he who must not be named' and forming a circle around him then casting a spell or two in Latin?
@rgholland91 So Hegwig died perhaps as a kind of unspoken sacrificial protection in Deathly Hallows (Part One) trying to help Harry Potter.
In much the same way as a parent or guardian would jump in the way of oncoming traffic to save a stranded child or sick animal in the middle of a road.
@countrygirlio @hingham_sch J.K. Rowling abandoned her Twitter page some time ago, Sar Ah.
May I suggest The White Hart Hotel in Hingham & ask them if they could offer 'Dinner for Two' as one of your raffle prizes? I'm sure they would oblige.
If not, let me know & I'll see if I can twist their arm for you
