Harry Potter Etymology | Kingsley Shacklebolt
KINGSLEY: It is of Old English origin, and the meaning of Kingsley is “king’s meadow.”
SHACKLEBOLT: “Bolt which passes through the eyes of a shackle.” In heraldry, the shacklebolt symbolizes “victory; one who has taken prisoners or rescued prisoners of war.” Or perhaps “bolting from shackles,” which may have been a foreshadowing of Kingsley fighting his way away from Death Eaters after breaking the Taboo.

“A voice. Your voice, Hermione. You said my name. Just my name. Like a whisper. So I took it, clicked it and this tiny ball of light appeared. And I knew. It flew towards me, the ball of light, right through my chest and straight through me. Right here. And I knew it was going to take me where I needed to go.” -Ron Weasley

People ask me if there are going to be stories of Harry Potter as an adult.

“As an actor, there is room for a certain amount of creativity, but you’re always ultimately going to be saying somebody else’s words. I don’t think I’d have the stamina, skill or ability to write a novel, but I’d love to write short stories and poetry, because those are my two passions.” - Daniel Radcliffe
