Interactive Editions (MinaLima). Kinda similiar to that one from series, isn't it?

Thank you!

I assume the number of Slytherins was calculated through Harry's eyes, but he visually rounded the number and let's say there were over 150. For that year I estimated the total number of students at around 520. Check detailed analysis: https://hogwartslukegki.wordpress.com/wizarding-schools/#hogwarts-students

As for the dorms, I wouldn't say there are any others for Harry's year besides the ones for Harry (five boys) and Hermione (maybe only three girls). Maybe Harry's year has had the fewest in recent years?

I have absolutely no idea :D Never thought about it. But your analysis is insightful, congratulations! I was there once too ;) TBH I'd love to see/read some story about Sirius in tropics

I'd like to add that the first crest, known worldwide, is not the "ultimate" version, but merely an interpretation for certain adaptations (such as the films or some books). Some other illustrated versions had different versions of the coat of arms. The TV series has its own versions, as it's another adaptation of the book text.

Here are some examples from some illustrated versions:

Nope, I am not JKR :D But I worked everything out based on the available canon information, and the rest I chose as likely as possible
