 I second the good wishes for 2017.  I am looking forward to the release of Fantastic Beasts on DVD, with some extra scenes.

Hi folks, ...there is a women in my office building named. Katie Bell. I am totally serious! While it would be off the charts fun meeting a real Harry Potter, I am wondering if anyone else has enjoyed this experience? cheers, Kare

There are a bunch to be found on Find A Grave.  And I'm sure there are real
people about with that name.  Some of them probably love the books, while
others would probably love to lynch JKR.

Actually, JKR did a pretty good job with names, because many/most of them
would not be common. Draco, Sirius, Bellatrix, Narcissa. And those are just
first names. Some of her names were great! It's not too unlikely for their
to be a Katie Bell in the world, but try finding someone with the name
Bilious (Ron's middle name). It did amuse me how some names were perfectly
normal and others were way out there in the series.

Really? Not Fang? Smiles. Actually, I wonder about real Lupins. That is because there is a Charles Dickens character with the same last name. One of these days I will read Harry Potter bookshelf, which discusses some of Rowling's influences. I know she loves Dickens as do I, but am unsure which books she appreciates most. Kare

Bart:
Given her predilection for pun names, I am assuming that Remus is for 
the legendary founder of Rome who was raised by a wolf, and Lupin is for 
"lupine", or wolf-like. Just like Sirius is also known as the "dog star".

It could also be a nod to Arsene Lupin, the French answer to Raffles, and
the modern anime character Lupin III.

Eric:
It could also be a nod to Arsene Lupin, the French answer to Raffles, 
and the modern anime character Lupin III.

Bart:
For legal reasons, Lupin III was originally called "The Wolf" when 
brought to the United States.

If so, where? Granted, I am doing a reread presently, while also reading fan fiction. Soul bonds show up *a great deal* in the latter, but I cannot recall their presence in Canon proper? Thanks, Kare

I don't remember the soul bond concept turning up anywhere in the HP canon.
I suspect it's filtered in from other fantasy fiction (examples: Mercedes
Lackey's Valdemar books, ElfQuest).
