J.K. Rowling reveals all about Dumbledore...

[Dallinor]

Did you guys know that Dumbledore is the name of a flying insect in the Lord of The Rings?

I read it in the companion guide to the LOTR.

Also Hermoine is an Ancient Greek name....it's in the Odyssey.

Rowling might or might not have gotten inspiration for her names from those sources.
