July 14th, the date that marks the release of Deathly Hallows as one week away. ONE WEEK! Just 7 days. Seven, the most powerfully magical number of all. This is sure to be the longest list we’ve created yet, as there are many times the number 7 is mentioned. (For an incredible list already complied by our own Michele, see the essay The Number Seven.)
Here are a few notable sevens to get us started:
- Harry paid seven gold galleons for his wand.
- Students spend seven years at Hogwarts. (Unless you’re Marcus Flint. Hehe)
- Lord Voldemort is thought to have split his soul in seven pieces.
- There are seven Weasley siblings.
- Seven players on a Quidditch team.
- The Room of Requirement is on the seventh floor.
- Harry (and Jo) was “born as the seventh month dies”
- In seven days, we’ll have Book 7.
