Wit beyond measure

Don’t remember how many times I have reblogged it. The best scene in the whole series 😭😭😭❤❤❤❤❤

j.k.r. needs like one close friend to sit her down and go: “okay, but, go over this with me again. you decided the evil snake your dark wizard kept as a pet and vessel of his fragmented horrific soul - the one that has to be murdered in order to defeat the evil wizard - is in fact….an asian woman who was cursed to eventually become a beast and monster in her own body. am i getting this right? the asian woman turns into a snake because her bloodline is cursed and then she becomes the pet of a white supremacist with magic. you invented a body curse specifically for turning women into monsters and your first thought was not like, subversion of fairy tale misogyny but….to add a layer of racism? just trying to understand here.” 

I’m also trying to understand why they cast a Korean actress when the etymology of and the mythologies related to the name “Nagini” have South Asian origins??? And don’t get me wrong, it would still be extremely problematic even if they cast an Indian (or South Asian in general) actress, but this is just baffling to me. JK Rowling was very adamant about the movies hiring British actors for the original series, but suddenly things like that don’t matter for this role even though she definitely did the research when she named Nagini. Another instance of her being disrespectful to mythologies and religions of non-white cultures. smfh

Friendly reminder that George Weasley probably left at least half of his sentences unfinished out of habit
