balderdash

i’ve put on the first harry potter movie to keep me company while i draw, and can i just say: the way that harry+co immediately jump to suspecting snape of Nefarious Evildoings simply because he’s kind of a dick will never not be funny to me. they don’t even know he used to be a death eater at this point. they know literally NOTHING about him they’re just like “well he was mean to me in class the other day, so he’s probably a spy for voldemort” “yeah that seems legit. let’s set him on fire” 

Harry+co: the vibes on this man… disgusting…

The reason Harry never truly grasps the depth of Ron’s insecurity about being least loved until witnessing the destruction of the horcrux is because Ron has been Harry’s most loved since the day they met.

i can see why people think harry was dumb for only ever using expelliarmus but… he’s so good. the boy is good, he has such a good heart.. of course he only ever tried to disarm someone

Harry Potter using Expelliarmus instead of any other spell even while in grave danger is literally a lesson about his character, what makes him special, what marks him and defines him as Voldemort’s foil. Anyone who calls him dumb for real over this can fight me.

Listen I’ll stop trashing Snape as soon as someone can give me a good reason for Neville Longbottom, the boy whose parents were tortured to insanity by someone who is still alive, to be more afraid of Snape than anything in the world.

Harry woke up at 3 am, wrote this, and went back to sleep.

i wonder when harry told ron and hermione that the dursleys used to make him live under the stairs

*cut to the whole Weasley family dog piling on Ron to prevent him from somehow storming to Privet Drive to kick some ass*

Bold of you to assume they would stop him instead of join in

#OKAY HERE WE GO: #RON CAME UP WITH THE IDEA FOR HARRY TO USE FELIX FELICIS TO COLLECT SLUGHORN’S MEMORY #RON CAME UP WITH THE IDEA TO USE BASILISK FANGS FROM THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS TO DESTROY THE REMAINING HORCRUXES #HE FIGURED OUT WHERE HARRY WAS IN DH WHEN HE AND HERMIONE WERE LOOKING FOR HIM [ROOM OF REQUIREMENT] #HE FIGURED OUT HOW TO USE THE DELUMINATOR TO GET BACK TO HARRY AND HERMIONE WHEN THEY WERE SURROUNDED BY SUCH EXTENSIVE PROTECTIVE SPELLS #THAT THEY WERE HIDDEN FROM THE MEDIA #KIDNAPPERS #AND THE MINISTRY OF MAGIC ITSELF #HE DEFEATED MCGONAGALL’S CHESS SET IMPLEMENTED TO OBSTRUCT HIGHLY SKILLED WIZARDS/WITCHES/WARLOCKS AT AGE ELEVEN #HE WAS ABLE TO PRODUCE A CORPOREAL PATRONUS AT AGE FIFTEEN OR SIXTEEN #WHICH EVEN HERMIONE HAD TROUBLE DOING #HIS EXAM RESULTS WERE ALMOST IDENTICAL TO HARRY’S EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT HARRY GOT ONE GRADE HIGHER THAN HIM IN ONE SUBJECT #HE WAS THE BEST LIAR OUT OF THE THREE #FOR EXAMPLE - WHEN HE PRETENDED TO BE PETTIGREW IN THE MALFOYS’ BASEMENT #WHEN HE ESCAPED FROM THE SNATCHERS WHILE ALONE #WHEN HE POSED AS DRAGOMIR DESPARD #SO WHEN YOU SAY RONALD BILIUS WEASLEY IS UNINTELLIGENT #YOU ARE LYING TO YOURSELF BC HE WAS ACTUALLY EXTREMELY SKILLED AND PRAGMATIC #F U C K    Y O U  (via reigulus)

the older i get the more i realize what it meant for lily and james potter to die at 21. when you’re 11 and you’re reading the books, watching the films, 21 feels ancient. it did to me. even the actors they picked looked like they were in their thirties, because actual 21 year olds standing next to harry in the mirror would have been an excruciating sight i think. actual 21 year olds lined up in the photo sirius shows harry would have been horrible to see. they weren’t adults. i look at 21 year olds now and most of them are still teenagers. and i’m so sad because you know harry turns 21 and then 22 and then 28 and 29 and realizes how terribly young his parents were, how brave they were, how exceptional they were, GOD I’M SAD IM GETTING A BEER

I love how Harry just genuinely likes Luna. Not in a romantic way, but in a “I don’t know how or why but I get you and you get me and I’d be honored to call you a friend and if anyone messes with you I’ll wallop them” kind of a way. I think he just marvels at her level of don’t give a fuck and her absolute sense of self. And then he and Ginny partially name their daughter after her (Lily Luna) and that to me is just fucking precious.

You have to at least ship their friendship.

I always laugh when somebody declares James Potter on the verge of expulsion for his pranks in fic because Malfoy was literally a Death Eater trying to kill the Headmaster and Dumbledore was like “Let’s just see if we can gently guide him away from this” I’m pretty sure the only thing that gets you expelled at Hogwarts is if you have already straight up murdered someone

hagrid got expelled for keeping one (1) spider under his bed

Hagrid got expelled because his spider was blamed for one (1) murder

Hagrid got expelled because he was half giant and they found a convenient excuse.

tea

every patronus hermione granger has ever produced was done with the memory of how it felt to deck malfoy right in his smug bastard face

Harry, Hermione, and Ron are killed early in their search for Horcruxes. Voldemort orders a full invasion of Hogwarts to find the remaining ones. In a panic, Hogwarts is evacuated. One student slept through the evacuation order: 4th year American transfer student Kevin McCallister.

I would like to go on the record as saying….i hate this…….

He’d win

That is part of why….I hate it……bc I genuinely to the core of my being believe that Macaulay Culkin could probably have finished Voldemort faster than the golden trio & Dumbledore combined…………this kid could play a fake recording of Dumbledore saying “Merry Christmas ya filthy animal” with the sound of spells being fired off from the Room of Requirement and Tom Riddle would be tf out of there so fast & slip on a Portable Swamp and fall down a changing staircase…………..

maybe the most ridiculous thing harry ever did was leave figuring out the second task until it was literally the early hours of the morning before it took place and he was still in the library?? like the first task was literally to fight a dragon, if that doesn’t scare you out of procrastinating til the last minute i rly don’t know what will??? i have never related to him more

the Wizard World is a lawless hellscape
