Etymology
Edit
Pyrites is named after the mineral, which is more commonly known as fool's gold.[2]
Behind the scenesEdit
- Pyrites only appears in early drafts of the first chapter Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. In these drafts, he would have met up with Sirius Black in front of the Potter cottage. He was cut, however, with the switch in perpective to Vernon Dursley's day rather than the scene at Godric's Hollow.[2]
- He may have been related to Argo Pyrites, who authored Alchemy, Ancient Art and Science.
