Though I can tell you something on the romulus remus story. In the end, romulus and remus have a fight about who's going torule rome, and romulus kills remus 😭 n so he becomes ruler of rome..

yeh! thanks 4 reminding me!!! i had forgotten the ending... 😊

Wow it seems like albusdumbledore and sugar plum have quit a bit in common. 😉 Too bad your 24 albusdumbledore and Sugar Plum is 16. ^^ Sorry I just got that vibe after reading your guys' posts. 😃

Anywho, I'm into mythology as well especially Egyptian & Scandinavian. I have studied some Greek & Roman mythology in this Art History class I took a while ago and it was fascinating. And if I could I would take Latin if it was available at my college. ^__^

Yea but anyway.... JK Rowling sure knew what she was doing when she was writing Harry Potter. I consider her to be a genis actually. ^.^ Her imagination is very inspiring. I also think Hayao Miyazaki is a genis but that's a whole another story~! ⭐️

So can we call you "uncle dumbledore" Freaky Genious?

looks like the uncle thing is catching on👏... now there's 4/5 of us! yeah... latin interests me a LOT... i wish i could study it... you know, i've studied sanskrit, and someone told me, latin and sanskrit are VERY similar... like conjugations, sentence structure etc, so it shouldn't be too difficult if i DO study latin one day...

greek is another fascination for me...

i used to take latin as a course in middle school...but i never knew that lupus meant wolf...

but JKR does a lot of research b4 she names a character...every character's name has a meaning to it...that's wat i like about her writing...the person's name always has sumthin to do wit their character...

SIMI 😊

yeah... i knew😊...
btw... remus is named after one half of the famous remus-romulus twins who were the founders of rome... as babies, they had been abandoned, and were suckled by a she-wolf... they grew up to be the founders of ROME!😉 Yeah... but if i'm not wrong, something terrible happened to one of then... or else they split up, something like that... well... that's the way the story goes...



oh i didn't know anything .. thanks to swati and tejas...

JKR sure does know loads and i think it took her loads of time to make these ppl ( in her imagination .. the names and stuff ) coz as u ppl know tht sirius is also the name of the brightest star tht can be seen frm the earth and also tht snape is a name of a village.. ok i dunno if u guyz know bout this..but i still thought of writing..

lolzzz
