The last Harry Potter novel came out nearly a decade ago, but since then, J.K. Rowling has had no shortage of clarifications and updates, from the fact that we’ve all been pronouncing ‘Voldemort’ wrongly, to the fact that she regrets pairing Ron and Hermoine.
This week, along with the plot of the Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them film, Rowling revealed that the word ‘muggle’ actually only applies to non-magical people in the U.K., and the American term is the more prosaic ‘no-maj’.
These never-ending Potter revelations have got Stephen Colbert‘s invisibility cloak pretty seriously in a bunch, so he responded with a righteous roasting of Joanne ‘Just Kidding’ Rowling, and revealed a series of future secrets about the series.
Gazing into his cauldron of spoilers, he revealed such juicy details as what Harry got up to when drunk on butterbeer, and what ‘Snape‘ is actually short for. Enjoy:
