harry potter is the father to encourage everything his kids ever show interest in. lily luna wants to paint his nails? sure thing. james sirius wants to learn the drums? why not. albus severus wants to take a dance class? heck yeah. and when they give up, or move onto the next new interest, he’s right there to help them do better, because he’s invested in their lives, and wants them to have happiness. 

harry potter is the father to never miss a birthday. never ever ever does he miss any of his kids birthdays. even if their birthday is while they’re away at school, he sends them a huge package and a cake and sometimes even shows up, under the pretense of visiting professor neville. he throws them huge parties and invites the whole family over and the kids never ask questions, they just know that their father is more excited about their birthday than they are. 

harry potter is the father who reads to his kids at night, who tucks them in with a kiss and a hug, who comforts them when they cry. he’s the parent who gets more worried about injuries, who frets when the kids are sick. he’s the father who carries lily luna around all the time when she’s a baby because she’s too darn cute to put down. 

harry potter is the kind of husband to never ever ever ever let ginny forget how much he loves and appreciates her. he send her roses, never misses a match, wears her replica jerseys, reads all of her articles, has her very first published piece in a frame in his office. 

harry potter is the kind of father and husband who is so full of love and admiration and happiness, because he has a family, a family of his own. and he can take care of this family, show them the feelings he never experienced as a child, give them the type of environment he was deprived of.
