The Harry Potter series
is about celestial bodies
[This article is also available in
French (Français) and
in Dutch (Nederlands)]
As briefly mentioned in the
video presentation on the Clock of Giza (link),
Joanne K. Rowling (1965) created the characters in her fantasy books about the
adventures of Harry Potter based upon celestial bodies. This short video
presentation on the Giza-Clock only refers to the relationships with the star
Sirius (officially Sirius A) and with the constellation of Draco. This short
article also addresses the celestial connections of other main characters in
the Harry Potter series. Below, this article briefly explains each connection.
The table below shows these relationships.

Celestial Body |

Terra (or
Earth) |
Harry Potter |

Venus |
Hermione
Granger |

Mars |
Ron Weasley |
|
Helios (or
Sun) |
Albus Dumbledore |

Jupiter |
Rubeus Hagrid |

Luna (or Moon) |
Luna Lovegood |

Sirius (A) |
Sirius Black |

Draco
(constellation) |
Draco Malfoy |
Hermione represents the
femininity of Venus, while the redheaded Ron represents the masculinity of the
Red Planet (Mars).
in our solar
system, the sun Helios is in charge. Similarly, Dumbledore is in charge of
Hogwarts. The electromagnetic field of Helios (called the heliosphere) protects the entire
solar system, including Terra. Similarly, Dumbledore energetically protects
Harry.
Because of the enormous
mass of Jupiter (which is the largest planet in our solar system), Jupiter
pulls in (like a vacuum cleaner) many asteroids that might otherwise strike
Terra. Similarly, the giant Hagrid physically
protects Harry.
Next, the character of Luna
Lovegood refers to the moon Luna. Her nickname is
Loony, because she sometimes acts a little bit like a lunatic.
The sun Helios is our first
sun (or star). The word Messiah means ‘light bringer’. This means that Helios
is the Messiah. Helios is our Father who art in Heaven. The second star (or
sun) of our solar system is Sirius. Similarly, Sirius Black is Harry’s
godfather. Sirius is the brightest star we can observe the night sky. This star
belongs to the constellation Big Dog. That is why Sirius is
also known as the Dog Star. Similarly, Sirius Black can change himself
into a big black dog.
Draco plays a central role
in the adventures of Harry. Similarly, the constellation of Draco has a central
position with respect to the precession cycle. This heavenly orbit of the North
Star literally runs around the constellation of Draco. The cause of the
precession cycle is partly due to Sirius (Black). Did you know that Draco Malfoy is the son of Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy-Black?
Are all these striking
similarities purely coincidental? Or does Jo Rowling
indirectly points out the dynamics of these heavenly bodies. What do you think?
Let us see if there are more celestial relationships with
main characters in the Harry Potter series. This is what Nicki Phillips
found:

Saturn |

Pluto |
Remus Lupin |

Sybill Trelawny |
As Deputy Headmistress,
Minerva McGonagall spends a lot of time collecting Harry and taking him to
other people. She is the one who notices Harry's talent on the broomstick and
suggests he become the seeker for the quidditch team.
She leads the way in taking Harry & co to Dumbledore whenever he calls for
them. As she is playing the role of communicator in the life of Harry and
messenger, Minerva represents the planet Mercury.
In astrology, Saturn is the
strict teacher planet that many people fear. Saturn brings us life lessons that
we do not particularly want to deal with. Saturn is strict and disciplined; he
does not tolerate fools. Severus Snape is a
mysterious character who plays that Saturn-like role for Harry. Harry finds
himself in the situation of having to learn Occulmency
to protect his mind from outside intrusion. Snape is charged with that responsibility and it is a gruelling set of lessons for Harry, which is very
Saturn-like.
Lupin teaches Harry
to overcome his worst fears. Pluto is the lord of the underworld and power, deep rooted fears are also associated with Pluto.
Pluto is also know for death and rebirth, utterly
transforming situations. The situation for Harry completely changed when he
discovers, with the help of Lupin, that Sirius Black
is not out to kill him after all.
Sybill Trelawny is a little out of touch with reality and makes
good use of her psychic talents. That means that Sybill
represents
Perhaps there are more celestial relationships with the main characters in the Harry
Potter series. Do you see another more, please let me know.

more to say about the (hidden) meaning of the Harry Potter series. Maybe you
