Fact of the Day: Saint Hedwig
In the Harry Potter book/movie series, Harry has a pet owl named Hedwig. The author J.K. Rowling named her after a saint known as Hedwig of Silesia. She was the patron saint of orphans.

And it was so sad to have Hedwig die too.
I mean Hedwig the owl in Harry Potter. I'll have to research the saint.
