Round up of the Week.

Another week has passed and it’s time for another Round Up. In the office we have been kept busy with various meetings and clients as usual which we are more than happy to continue.

With hype for the new Harry Potter film - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1) escalating I thought I’d share some HP facts with you all.

  1. Dementors from the books are deadly, magical, wraith-like creatures. Rowling revealed that they represent depression and that they were based on her own experience with the disease. The remedy to lighten the effects of a Dementor is chocolate.
  2. Rowling is the first person to become a billionaire (U.S. dollars) by writing books.
  3. The actress who played Moaning Myrtle is actually 37 years old and is the oldest actress to portray a Hogwarts student.
  4. Harry’s birthday is July 31, 1980. Rowling’s birthday is also July 31—but in 1966.
  5. The driver and conductor of the Knight Bus, Ernie and Stanley, are named after Rowling’s grandfathers.

  1. Facebook is not only beating MySpace traffic, but it is also the second-ranked site overall in the U.S. behind Google.
  2. Americans spend 13.9 billion minutes a year on Facebook and five billion minutes on MySpace.
  3. Syria, China, Vietnam, and Iran have banned Facebook.
  4. Approximately 70% of Facebook users are outside the United States.
  5. A Facebook post in December 2009 led to a kidney donation.
