Natalie McDonald’s Gryffindor Tribute

J.K. Rowling wrote a real girl named Natalie McDonald into "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire." Natalie was a Harry Potter fan, and she was dying of leukemia at the time, so Rowling honored her by turning her into a first-year Hogwarts student. In the book, Natalie McDonald puts on the Sorting Hat and gets sorted into Gryffindor.
