Yet another Harry Potter reread

really hagrid? “not a single witch or wizard who went bad...wasn’t in slytherin”? bull.

when harry first meets draco he’s “strongly reminded of Dudley” stop giving me crap about draco being a good person

Draco is described as “a boy with a pale, pointed face...[with] a bored, drawling voice” the first time we meet him.

wizards are constantly complaining about muggle things when they’re in public like good job keeping the statute of secrecy

okay but how does Hagrid usually get to london

never forget that Hagrid is a knitter

Seriously, the ministry’s main job is keeping muggles from finding out magic exists?

hagrid why are there dormice in your pockets??? are they just eating random food they find in there???

tbh i’m really surprised vernon read harry’s letters??

@james haters hagrid specifically says about him and lily that you couldn’t find nicer people..

okay but really how did lily “[come] home every vacation with her pockets full of frog spawn, turning teacups into rats” like were they just trick teacups? was she not actually doing magic?  I need to know

Even the best wizards are prejudiced against muggles -- look at the worst insult Hagrid can think to throw at the Dursleys.  Low key feel like there’s a lesson there.

I really want to know how Hagrid performs spells so well with a broken wand.

I forget way too often that the dursleys really did abuse Dudley.  we have canon evidence that Vernon “hit him round the head” and honestly it seems to me like they’re constantly flipping between “our son is the best thing to happen to this earth” and screaming at him.

bless sassy Harry like ‘The poor toilet’s never had anything as horrible as your head down it -- it might be sick’ kid is VICIOUS

Okay please don’t talk to me about how abusive the Dursleys were I cannot even express how inappropriate their treatment of harry was and yet no one?? did?? a thing???
