"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. |
Metro was a British newspaper. On 12 August, 1995, it published an article about twin boys named Jack and Tom Monk, who lived despite being born prematurely. Their father, Dave Monk, was a reporter for the paper.
Behind the scenes
- The newspaper's appearance in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is anachronistic as the real-life newspaper was not founded until 1999.[1] Even so, the date featured in the masthead is wrong for the scene in which the newspaper prop appears: while the prop bears "Friday, December 1, 2006", the scene is set in the London Underground on the day of Harry Potter's disciplinary hearing at the Ministry of Magic, Saturday, 12 August, 1995.[2]
Appearances
