ALISON WONDERLAND.

all three houses stood between harry potter and pansy parkinson

mr & mrs weasley fought the battle of hogwarts without knowing where ron was

harry was so caught up in battle prep he forgot about the horcrux thing

neville & his herbology buddies threw mandrakes @ death eaters 

then neville used venomous tentacula to ensnare them

sir cadogan being IN HIS ELEMENT and rushing from painting to painting shouting encouragement @ people

mrs norris hissed & batted at owls

firenze showed up to fight 

poor hermit bewildered alberforth dealt w/ literally hundreds of people passing in & out of his house & then came to fight when he realized what was happening

slughorn finally decided his loyalties

ron: “so what’s new with you?”

colin creevy snuck back in after the evacuation

ron went after the basilisk fangs & remembered parseltongue to get them

hermione’s quick thinking w/ that slide literally saved their lives

mrs augusta longbottom put on her hat before she came to see what the what was up @ hogwarts

even the Headless Hunt people showed up

all the portraits encouraged ppl

instead of grieving in the great hall, ginny went outside, probably to be alone, and found it in herself to comfort a scared, lost girl whimpering for her motherneville & wood gathering the dead

professor trelawney throwing crystal balls down @ people

percy cursed the minister of magic & cracked a joke

minerva in her tartan dressing gown w/ a flock of galloping desks trailing behind

peeves dropped snargaluff pods onto death eaters so they were covered in wriggling, fat green worms

a dying snape was still with it enough to give harry those memories

He is dead!

mcgonagall’s scream

He beat you!

neville charged voldemort and mouthed off to him & slayed tf out of that snake

hagrid had his bro carry him from the cave to hogwarts, got shoved through a window, got carried away by giant spiders, and sobbed & carried dead harry all the way back to hogwarts

the rest of the centaurs, everyone & their mom, the threstrals, and even buckbeak came to fight

kreacher leading all the house elves w/ carving knives & cleavers stabbing & hacking @ death eaters

Not my daughter, you bitch!

harry literally waited until the opportune moment to reveal himself & it was so dramatic. bless him, sirius would’ve been so proud.

harry tried to get voldy to try remorse and redeem himself

ppl throwing food out the window into grawp’s mouth

blessed luna saw that harry was exhausted & distracted ppl so he could get out of the great hall

peeves immediately made up a verse about moldy voldy

We’ve walked with Harry, Ron and Hermione, through a world that we thought was great but slowly revealed itself to be the opposite. We unpeeled the layers of corruption within the government, we saw cruelty against minorities grow in the past decades, and had media attack us and had teachers tell us that we ‘must not tell lies’. We got angry and frustrated and, like Harry, Ron and Hermione, had to think of a way to fight back. And them winning? That would have been enough to give us hope and leave us satisfied.

But instead. There was skip scene. And suddenly they were all over 30 and happy with their 2.5 children.

And the Millennials were left flailing in the dust.

Because while we recognised and empathised with everything up to that point. But seeing the Golden Trio financially stable and content and married? That was not something our generation could recognise. Because we have no idea if we’re ever going to be able to reach that stage. Not with the world we’re living in right now.

Having Harry, Ron and Hermione stare off into the distance after the battle and wonder about what the future might be would have stuck with us. Hell, have them move into a shitty flat together and try and sort out their lives would have. Have them with screaming nightmares and failed relationships and trying to get jobs in a society that’s falling apart would have. Have them still trying to fix things in that society would have. Because we known Voldemort was just a symptom of the disease of prejudice the Wizarding World.

But don’t push us off with an ‘all was well’. In a world about magic, JK Rowling finally broke our suspension of disbelief by having them all hit middle-class and middle-age contentment and expecting a fanbase of teenagers to accept it.
