Potter-Fact 1
The first book of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was published on June 26, 1997. It was approximately ten months before the Final Battle of Hogwarts was fought. It took place in the early hours of 2 May, 1998, within the castle and on the grounds of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. To this author J.K. Rowling when asked said...
"I open at the close."
Now to understand this clever reference by Rowling, I hope you guys remember the Golden Snitch.

| Mirror of Erised : Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone |
The Mirror of Erised (desire; when spelled backwards) is an ancient ornate mirror. The mirror shows the most desperate desire of a person's heart, a vision that has been known to drive men mad. It has clawed feet and a gold frame inscribed with the phrase...
" Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi"
When you reflect this inscribed phrase in some other mirror it'd say,
"I show not your face but your hearts desire." with the spaces re-arranged. (Try reading the phrase backwards.)
Potter-Fact 3
The Patronus Charm, Expecto Patronum is the most famous and one of the most powerful defensive charms known to wizardkind. It's an immensely complicated, very difficult spell that evokes a partially-tangible positive energy force physically visible as a silver light known as a Patronus or spirit guardian. It is the primary protection against Dementors and Lethifolds, to which there is no other protection.

This ancient and mysterious charm conjures a magical guardian, a projection of all your most positive feelings. Patronus, a guardian which generally takes the shape of the animal with whom the wizard conjuring it shares the deepest affinity.
The amazing thing about this charm is that in Latin language,
"Expecto Patronum" literally translates to "I await a guardian"

Since the Patronus is a physical representation of one's soul, James Potter's Stag and Lily Potter's Doe make them literal soul-mates.
