Merlin, the namesake of this proposed holiday
Merlin Remembrance Day was a suggested public holiday in honour of Merlin, a legendary medieval wizard known as "the most famous wizard of all time".[1]
History[]
The holiday was suggested in a reader's letter to the Daily Prophet sometime in the early 1990s. The letter, however, indicated that the holiday was only suggested to establish a new public holiday, and thus provide an additional day per year off of work, rather than any legitimate desire to honour Merlin. Whether this holiday was ever implemented is unknown.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
- Although the Daily Prophet Newsletters newsletter was chronologically set in the early 1990s, a witch in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery (see this video) mentions the holiday, which is set during the 1980s. This is possibly an anachronism, or it could be that the holiday had been proposed several times throughout history.
