Existem pessoas reais mencionadas no Potterverse?

• JK Rowling disse especificamente que o Nicholas Flamel em Harry Potter é a pessoa real :

Nicholas Flamel is in the book 'the Da Vinci Code', did you get his name from there?

No, Nicholas Flamel is a historical character. Flamel lived in France in the fourteenth century and is supposed to have discovered how to make a philosopher's stone. There are mentions of sightings of him through the centuries because he was supposed to have gained immortality. There are still streets named after Flamel and his wife Perenelle in Paris.

Nicolas Flamel was a real person. I read about him in my early twenties when I came across one of the versions of his life story. It told how he had bought a mysterious book called The Book of Abraham the Jew, which was full of strange symbols and which Flamel realised were instructions on alchemy. The story went that he subsequently made it his life's work to produce the Philosopher's Stone.

• Ela também disse (sob juramento) que Paracelsus é uma pessoa real.

“I would not go that way if I were you,” said Nearly Headless Nick, drifting disconcertingly through a wall just ahead of him as he walked down the passage. “Peeves is planning an amusing joke on the next person to pass the bust of Paracelsus halfway down the corridor.”
“Does it involve Paracelsus falling on top of the person’s head?” asked Harry.

Several of incidental wizards and witches that I mentioned within world of -- within the novel, Harry Potter novels, were believed to be real. Or certainly were real as in the case of Paracelsus.

Q. Did you make these wizards up?
A. I did. Occasionally there is someone who existed in reality. I've taken some liberties with their biography.

O artigo de Pottermore sobre "Minsters of Magic " refere-se extensivamente a políticos da vida, notavelmente Lord North, Rei George III, Rainha Victoria, Lord Palmerston e Winston Churchill

Leonard Spencer-Moon

A sound Minister who rose through the ranks from being tea-boy in the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes. Oversaw a great period of international wizarding and Muggle conflict. Enjoyed a good working relationship with Winston Churchill.

etc

O Guia do leitor para Harry Potter também faz referência a uma Natalie McDonald que foi incluída no Cálice de Fogo como uma homenagem de Rowling:

In July 1999, nine-year-old Natalie McDonald, a Harry Potter fan dying of leukemia, sent a letter that arrived just after Rowling had gone on a two-week vacation. When she returned, Rowling quickly sent e-mails to Natalie and her mother, Valerie. Although Natalie died the day before, Joanne and Valerie struck up a correspondence, and as a tribute to Valerie's daughter, the Sorting Hat sends Natalie McDonald to Gryffindor, making Natalie the only "real" person to appear so far in the Harry Potter series (Goblet of Fire 159).

    

"O Guia do Idiota Completo para o Mundo de Harry Potter" por Tere Stouffer menciona vários, principalmente fora de cartões Chocolate Frog

• Agrippa (Heinrich Cornelius Agripa de Nettesheim)

• Paracelso (Phillipus von Hohenheim)

• Ptolomeu (Claudius Ptolemaeus ... ou Ptolomeu I da Macedônia)

• Hengist de Woodcroft (real Hengist ), um famoso Hufflepuff

Então, temos figuras que são mais mitológicas, mas podem ter lido protótipos históricos: Circe (de Odyssey), Merlin e Morgan Le Fey (de Arthuriana), David e Golias (do Antigo Testamento)

    

Uma boa maneira de começar é a categoria Harry Potter da Wikia artigos no universo sobre assuntos reais ( note que inclui locais e objetos, bem como pessoas).

Aparentemente, muitas pessoas reais são mencionadas em várias capas de livros, cartazes de filmes e jornais trouxas ao longo dos últimos vários filmes (embora muitas das menções da HBP sejam cronologicamente inapropriadas para os anos 90), algumas aparecem em Beedle, o Bardo ( Eu não sei os detalhes), e alguns estão em Famous Wizard Cards (Leonardo da Vinci é uma vez que não apareceu nas respostas anteriores). Muitos outros são mencionados nos artigos de Pottermore. Alguns aparecem em retratos (como Thomas More).

Nicholas e Perenelle Flamel são aparentemente (pelo menos, de acordo com o Wiki) o mais próximo que você consegue de pessoas reais serem mencionadas na história.
