Did You Know This About Peter Pettigrew In HARRY POTTER…

He had an Order Of Merlin! It is the highest honor a wizard can receive within the Harry Potter universe, and would be equivalent to receiving a knighthood in real life. The Ministry of Magic recovered Pettigrew's finger after his supposed ‘death’ and gave it to his mother alongside an Order of Merlin First Class in honor of his sacrifice. There are also characters like Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Cornelius Fudge who have Orders of Merlin First Class. Interestingly, Pettigrew was not the only Marauder to receive an Order Of Merlin. After his death during the Battle of Hogwarts, Lupin also got one.

Cornelius Fudge literally just gave it to himself

[Midnight.Creepypastas]

Lupin also was the first werewolf to receive one.

[aurumvale]

what's a far more interesting fact is that the map shows his name even when Peter is transformed into a rat. so for a couple years the twins probably knew that their brother was sharing a bed with another "boy" but never looked into it or said anything

[ThistleBristleBerry]

Harry: kills Voldemort 7 times
The ministry: nah let’s give a prize to our terrible minister lol

[Angryminebuilder]

I feel like Harry should have gotten one, he saved Hogwarts multiple times and defeated Voldemort on multiple occasions throughout his lifetime, so he saved the entire wizarding world and most likely the muggle world as well.

[Dr.CrowHead]

Fudge didn’t deserve it. He just gave it to himself.

[morganlh]

Did you know this about Harry potter universe. That if you read the books they tell you all this and more

[wireboar]

Snape saw lupin on the map and not peter, my theory is that peter was hiding out in Hogwarts when he was appointed secret keeper because that's supposedly the safest place on earth in hp world, since peter was put as the secret keeper and the gang was suspecting lupin of being Voldemorts informer they might have changed the map to not show peter on it to protect him from being found.

Also is being on the wizard trading cards a bigger honor than order of Merlin? Considering you'd be among the ranks of Slytherin, Merlin and Dumbledore

[nicolegilbert]

So basically he didn't deserve it cause he didn't die

[elizabethoneill]

Well the person who gave it to him was messed up in the head

[allaccessentertainment]

My favorite Harry Potter character, Gilderoy Lockhart, had an Order of Merlin, Third Class even though his stories were all lies 🤥!

[justarandomguy]

I think Pettigrew had order of Merlin, third class in the books...

[Ollie.H-]

Fudge doesn't deserve his, he gave it to himself.
He gives him self an Order of Merlin First Class which usually is given to someone for being brave, but the minute Voldemort returns, he flees quicker than Snape when confronted by shampoo. As the Minister, he shouldn't have done that.

[sarahglover]

After Sirius died surely he lost it, like once Fudge knew the truth he would have retracted it!

[RevolverOcelot]

Didn't Gildroy Lockhart also receive the honor?

[keanandannan]

Sirius shouldve received one considering his name was cleared after death

[davidmarsh]

Yes. Obviously I knew that, because it’s on the book!

[stethespaniard]

Pretty sure you know this if you’ve read the books. Which every fan of hp should’ve done or at least listened to

[hersheysaxena]

Hey, what about James Potter? He sacrificed himself to protect his son. He also saved the world technically. And what about Lily Evans/Potter?

[jaredreisinger]

He's also the second one who's has it but it's undeserving of it like guild Ware Lockhart has an order of Merlin
