These are facts straight from the mouth of J.K. Rowling, and were gathered in numerous online chats.

General Facts Not Disclosed in the Books

Harry's middle name is "James."

Hagrid, Lily , and James were in Gryffindor. (Hagrid was NOT in Hufflepuff.)

Lily Potter's maiden name was Evans.

There are about a thousand students at Hogwarts. (True, that doesn't seem right, but J.K. said so...and she's the boss.)

James Potter was a Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

Hermione's birthday is September 19th, Ron's is March 1st.

James Potter inherited lots of money, so he didn't need a well-paying profession.

The fifth book will be shorter than the fourth. The fourth book will most likely be the longest of the series.

James Potter inherited the invisibility cloak from HIS father.

Witches and wizards have longer life spans than muggles.

The Gringott's goblins' return the muggle money they they acquire back into circulation.

The approximate value of a Galleon is about five pounds ($7.30 or 8.00 Euro), though the exchange rate varies.

Dumbledore is 150, McGonagall is 70 (and is really an old softy, just doesn't act like it), Snape is 35 or 36.

The Happiest people do not become ghosts (therefore we can take it that ghosts are people that died while sad, angry, etc. Myrtle was teased, Nearly Headless Nick didn't have his head completely chopped off, the Bloody Baron was...lonely?)

Rumours ONLY!

Thanks to MuggleNet.com and The UHPFC
- Hagrid will be able to use magic. He will be able to do it openly without Dumbledore's permission.
- Hermione will be made a prefect.
- Voldemort might kill Dumbledore creating even more panic in the wizard world. (This is not very likely)
- Harry could go and live with Sirius Black after the Dursley's is no longer a safe-haven.
- Ron might join the Gryffindor quidditch team as a chaser or a beater.
- Another wizarding school might play Quidditch against Hogwarts.
- Mr. Weasley (or somebody else) could become the Minister of Magic. If Fudge steps down (or is overthrown) somebody will need to take his place, and we already know Dumbledore won't.
- The shadow of Cedric Diggory's living self (NOT a ghost) plays a fairly sizable part in helping Harry over two specific challenges he faces.

You may see a new comic section in your daily paper "Harry Potter Comics"

Voldemort May have fathered Lily Potter!
Lily potter was fathered by voldemort. that explains why aunt petunia doesn't like her, why else would she get into Hogwarts with someone in the family who thinks magic is evil??? voldemort is old enough to be her father and there were those two years mentioned in the beginning of book 4 in which voldemort wasn't seen, meaning al lot of things could have happened besides him sinking into dark magic. it ALSO explains why voldemort didn't want to kill her.
