History
Caxambu Style Borborygmus Potion, a potion that provoked stomach rumbling, was presumably first developed in Caxambu.[1]
In the 6 December 1926 issue of The New York Ghost, it was reported that an international manhunt for Gellert Grindelwald was underway in several cities, including Caxambu.[2]
In 1927, an issue of Le Cri de la Gargouille reported that Caxambu witches appeared in Versailles.[3]
The Daily Prophet reported in late 1994 that this city was slated to be the site of a meeting of the G8 3/4.[4]
It was reported in a 1996 issue of The Quibbler that the infamous "Ginger Witch" was arrested in this city for possessing fake henna.[5]
The Daily Prophet also once reported in its international weather section that it would be sunny and 5° in Caxambu.[6]
Behind the scenes
