What was the colour of the carpet in the Dursley home? Where were the stones used to build Hogwarts sourced from? How does the global wizarding economy function? More than a decade on from the publication of the 7th and "final" Harry Potter book, fans of the series just can't stop asking these sorts of questions - and JK Rowling continues to appease them by adding constant retcons (retroactive continuities, aka embellishing the original books).
