“It was a dream. I dreamed a giant called Hagrid came to tell me I was going to a school for wizards. When I open my eyes I’ll be at home in my cupboard.”
HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER’S STONE
2001 | dir. Chris Columbus
I think a lot of the fans are being too hard on Rowling. She’s clearly making an effort with the Fantastic Beasts movies to be more diverse and include more representation, but anything short of perfection means she’s “problematic” and needs to be condemned. With how the world is growing more hateful and intolerant, attacking our allies like this feels really counterproductive.
Honestly, a lot of hate for JKRs work/explainations post DH seems to comes from people who are sad/angry that there hcs and faves aren’t how they would like them to be or how Harry (and therefore the reader) perceived them to be. And that largely influences there ability to understand what JKR means when she wrote a book from Harry’s perspective, and wanted the reader to see for themselves how sometimes perception of something is not the same as reality.
Headcanon that random Muggles occasionally mistake Ron Weasley for Ed Sheeran when he walks through Muggle parts of town. Hermione thinks it’s hilarious.
We’ve waited a year to reblog this. Happy Bread Anniversary!
Because it’s important to celebrate the little victories in life.
harry potter was so messed up guys
not the book series
the character
he was so messed up like he lived in a closet and was hungry and treated like crap and no one helped him escape that life for a decade and then he finally gets to know his heritage and his family and oops kiddo you’re kind of famous?? wizard jesus??? so deal with that without any kind of adult guidance whatsoever you’re eleven and grew up in a house without any kind of emotional support you’re mature enough to handle that and THEN he finds out that he’s actually got people in this world that want him and want to love him and he finds out that… this world… hates them??? like one’s a werewolf and the other is a “criminal” and this world that celebrates his life hates the people that want to genuinely love him and care for him??? and the family that also loves and protects him are treated like crap because they are poor?????? and aren’t racist???
then he grows up a bit more and then suddenly he’s got this fuckin’ genocidal war lord out for his head specifically and he’s killing people and shit and NO ONE BELIEVES HIM they literally look at him like YEAH RIGHT YOU ARE JUST THE LITTLE BABY THAT SURVIVED A BAD NIGHT YOU DON’T KNOW ANYTHING and Harry’s like WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
YOU KNOW WHAT NO FUCK YOU
and then he starts a club to teach kids… how to protect themselves? Because he’s been let down by adults all his damn life so fuck them fuck them all he doesn’t need them they won’t listen to him so he’ll do what he can to protect these kids because the adults won’t do it it’s all on him he’s gotta do it he’s gotta
and then people that love him and want to protect him just for the sake of protecting a friend start dying one by one
and then he fuckin learns that all his fuckin life he’s been raised to be killed and he just
walks into the forest calmly
and accepts it
WHAT THE FUCK
I really dislike it when people from the US don’t use UK vernacular in their writings about HP. They wouldn’t say “ass” or mention their GPA or talk about someone having “bangs”. It can’t be that hard to do a little research about something you supposedly love.
