JK Rowling Finally Explains Albus Severus Potter’s Awful Name, We Cry

.@veronicalloyd_ Harry left Remus’s name for Teddy to use for his own son.

If you’re on the “Snape was the worst kind of Nice Guy ever” train like me and think Harry completely mishandled the naming of his children, this tweet from JK herself about why Albus’s middle name wasn’t Remus might just make you feel better about the epilogue. And then it might rain on your face.

JK dropped some other wisdom on Twitter recently, including some deets about the American wizarding school:

.@loonyloolaluna If I answer that fully it will reveal the location of the school, but you can take that as a yes!

.@loonyloolaluna Oh wait – did you mean the NAME is of American Indian origin? It isn’t. The name is of immigrant origin.

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) June 7, 2015

.@loonyloolaluna However, indigenous magic was important in the founding of the school. If I say which tribes, location is revealed.

And prepare yourself for more tears with this one:

.@m_abs All these people saying they never got their Hogwarts letter: you got the letter. You went to Hogwarts. We were all there together.

.@m_abs Of course it happened inside your head, but why on earth should that mean it wasn’t real?

We love you, JK. Never change.
