Meh.

Oh Pod. She’s not going to eat you, sweetheart.

Imagine Luna Lovegood and Dean Thomas hanging out and creating beautiful works of art because they’re both super talented at it.

how adorable. podrick is the only character who has a crush on sansa without harming her

Why do people still sleep on their potential?

I still think Dean Thomas and Luna Lovegood would have been such a cute ship. Dean was trapped with Luna in Malfoy Manor, they clearly became good friends, he even helped her by holding her hand to get through Gryffindor Tower tunnel, and was always polite in listening to her, even when he was baffled by her words. They are both also really good artists and really good hearted people.

Luna has such incredible talent as an artist, and she’d probably be a successful one if she wanted. Harry once saw her painting of him, and he was so shocked because at first he thought he was looking at himself in the mirror. Her drawings just came alive to him like magic, that tells me how realistic and detailed her work is. I wish I could see her drawings.

i know it’s been like ??? 6 years but  ✧･ﾟ: *✧fuck you, showrunners✧*:･ﾟ✧

I think that Harry and Luna work better as friends, instead of love interests for each other. I don’t get it when people say that Harry should have gotten with Luna, I much like when someone says that Harry and Hermione should have been a romantic couple. A man and a woman should be allowed to be friends without someone thinking that they should have been romantically involved with each other. I am not saying that you can’t ship it, but I don’t get the popularity of Harry/Luna.

I do feel bad for Hinny shippers because ultimately I recognize Harry and Ginny could be a wonderful couple but are victims to poor writing. Rowlings rationale of just wanting Harry to be part of the Weasley family lead to a rushed romance and lack of in depth character development that Ginny sorely needed to not come off as a Mary-sue in the 6th book. Coupled with Daniel and Bonnie’s complete lack of chemistry it just collapsed for me. I had been attached to Harry and Luna before the movies came out but the chemistry between Evanna and Daniel just really exacberated my love for the couple.

Also, it could have shown that it’s ok if someone like Ginny has a crush on someone, and then they end up just being friends. “Just friends” is treated like such a bad thing, so it would have made a nice lesson, especially since Harry’s relationship with Cho went so downhill in comparison.

preventing female characters with strong, compelling narratives from experiencing love, intimacy, and affection is just as regressive as reducing them down to sexual accessories for male characters. it assumes that women must choose between a romantic interest and depth of character and ignores a far more productive message: that women are capable of possessing both. 

this literally sounds like “female characters can be badasses AND stay in touch with their feminine side 😌🌸”

the intention wasn’t to be progressive or try to make some profound point, so i agree with you. there’s probably a way to rewrite this now so that it makes a much more impactful point and starts a better conversation. but i appreciate the reblog anyway and you sharing your thoughts.

You shouldn’t feel the need to defend what you said. As you stated there’s a lot of other context attached to this conversation.

Do people tend to forget that Ron and Hermione were Harry’s last thoughts before he was attacked by the dementors? I think that just shows how much he loves his two best friends.

As a Ron stan, I’m embarrassed by the rest of us right now. There seems to be a Hermione hate train going through the Ron Weasley defense squad mainly on TikTok. And it’s perfectly fine to call Hermione out for her wrongdoings and criticizing her, but saying stuff like ”Hermione would grow up and be abusive to her kids”, or ”Hermione was horrible friends to Harry and Ron because she never helped them with their work when they needed it”, and I’ve even heard ”Hermione was to blame when Sirius died bc she told Harry he had a ’saving people thing’ which made him go to the MoM which got Sirius killed” …WHAT? It’s okay to not like Hermione, but you don’t have to pull things out of you butt to make her look evil. And it’s also on tumblr and Quora. I’ve heard multiple Ron stans say they wish she would’ve died in the Battle of Hogwarts, and one person even said they wish she died in her mother’s uterus. It’s a little much. And their reasoning is always ”Everyone used to hate Ron so why cant we hate Hermione?” It’s gonna be a repetitive cycle bc then someone will say ”Oh well Ron stans hate Hermione so why can’t we hate Ron?” And then Hermione stans will start hating on my baby boy Ron. Am I the only person that stans both Ron and Hermione? Why do we have to bash one to uplift the other? It’s stupid.

I am tired of people saying that Emma Watson was too pretty to be Hermione. It seems like they believe that just because Hermione was described as having bushy hair and big teeth up until the 4th book she must be either ugly or plain. I always thought that Hermione was supposed to be pretty, it was just that many people didn’t notice it because she didn’t really care about doing things like fixing her hair up. That is why when she does put more effort into her looks like she did at the Yule Ball, people end up acting shocked, they are realizing that Hermione is actually quite pretty. Besides the only people I really remember saying something against Hermione’s looks were people like Rita Skeeter and Pansy Parkinson who I wouldn’t really trust the judgement of because they are quite petty and cruel.

I don’t think it’s talked about enough how horrifying and traumatic it was for Harry to have been kidnapped and taken to the graveyard. This fourteen year old kid was kidnapped, watched a friend die in front of him, then was tortured until he wished for death by a psychotic murderer, all the while a bunch of adults surrounding him are laughing, cheering it on. I couldn’t imagine going through that as an adult, much less as a child. Then to be forced to go home to an abusive family after that?

So if his emotions ain’t exactly sweet, there is a perfectly good explanation for it. He has never deserved to be called annoying or “capslock” Harry for it. I mean, if you hate Harry just say that. But don’t give me that capslock Harry shit. Just say you don’t care to empathize with the trauma he faced, regardless of how ignorant you look, because you don’t like him, simple. 

Everyone acts like Umbridge was the worst teacher ever but I think most of Dumbledore’s DADA hires were even worse. Quirrell and Crouch worked for Voldemort, Lockhart tried to put a debilitating memory charm on students, and Lupin was a dangerous werewolf. Snape was a good choice at least.

That's how you know Umbridge was awful. She wasn't a Death Eater, but she might as well have been one.
