As you all know, recently Cap Candy has started the marketing of 
their Chocolate Frogs, in which you can find the Famous Witches & 
Wizards cards.
Today The Leaky Cauldron posted something very interesting.
This quote from Cap Candy:

"JK Rowling is a great partner and we work with her to ensure the 
accuracy of our products," said Jodi Medlock, spokeswoman for WoTC.

WoTC also said they worked with JK to ensure the accuracy of both the 
trading card game as well as the chocolate frogs cards.

Since I have an immense thirst for any things HP, I clicked the link 
to the page at the Restriced Section where the text on the cards can 
be found.

And what did I find? This.

Bertie Bott-Inventor
Bertie Bott was born in 1935. He invented Bertie Bott's Every Flavor 
Beans quite by mistake. His original purpose was to create tasty 
candies from food. He accidentally included a pair of dirty socks in 
his experiment! 

Well? Let's look at what Dumbledore said in the last chapter of PS.
-----------
"Ah! Bertie Bott's Every-Flavour Beans! I was unfortunate enough in 
my youth to come across a vomit-flavoured one, and since then I'm 
afraid I've rather lost my liking for them – but I think I'll be safe 
with a nice toffee, don't you?"

He smiled and popped the golden-brown bean into his mouth.

Then he choked and said, "Alas! Earwax!"

-----------

Bertie Bott, who invented his beans, was born in 1935, and Dumbledore 
ate a vomit flavoured one in his YOUTH?
Let's work out the numbers. Bertie Bott probably didn't come up with 
his beans until the 1950s, or later.
Dumbledore is 150 year olds in the 1990s.
Unless Dumbledore considers 110 as "youth", he can't possible have 
eaten a bean.

Now, there are at least 4, and perhaps more scenarios.


1. The young Dumbledore goes forward in time for some reason, and 
tastes a BBBean.

2. Someone goes back in time, with a bag of BBBeans and treats the 
young Dumbledore.

3. It's a mistake. I think this might be the one, really, but I will 
never lose hope!

4. Someone in the present goes back in time, and becomes Dumbledore...
Who? RON! REDHEAD ALWAYS! YAY!
