petunia is horrible to harry, and the narrative doesn’t afford her more empathy than she deserves. this is all very clearly a villain’s origin story. but given that our whole generation grew up pining to go to hogwarts, i’m surprised i don’t see more recognition or exploration of the dark places that her hogwarts wish eventually turned. it’s just another form of “it does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live”: petunia, denied her dream, thought the only way she could be happy was to fixate on its opposite. either way, it’s all about the life she never got to live.

It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) dir. Chris Columbus
