"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really existed), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts. |
Mars is the fourth planet from the sun and appears reddish in colour.
History
Sometime in the mid-to-late 20th century, wizard theoretician Hambledon Quince controversially proposed that wizards originally originated from Mars, and that Muggles originated from mushrooms.
Mars was noticed to be "bright" by two centaurs, Ronan and Bane, whom Harry and Hagrid encountered in the Forbidden Forest one night in 1992.[1]
In the 1995–1996 school year, the centaur Firenze pointed out Mars during his first Divination class. He referred to it as the "bringer of battle," and said it indicated that the Wizarding world was currently experiencing a brief calm between two wars.
Sybill Trelawney had also discussed Mars in her class, pointing out the fascinating angle the planet made to Neptune with her orrery,[2] and teaching that it causes accidents and burns when in a particular alignment with Saturn. Firenze, however, dismissed this as "human nonsense."[3]
