Listening to the HP audiobooks cause they always get me to draw for hours on end. Really quick doodle before I get back to regular work. Preteens lowkey plotting.

everyone talks about “did you put your name in the goblet of fire” being the worst book to movie dialogue fail but lets be real the worst is where hermione answers a question in class and snape calls her an “insufferable know-it-all” and in the book ron is furious and he goes OFF and says “you asked a question and she knows the answer! why ask if you don’t want to be told?” but in the movies they just make him say “he’s got a point, you know” and i’m still mad about it

Imagine first year Harry Potter looking for Fred and George to see if they want to have a snowball fight with him and Ron and finding an odd piece of parchment lying in their room. 

Imagine first year Harry Potter picking the parchment up and examining it, because he’s learning that in the wizarding world nothing is ever as it seems, not even old pieces of parchment. 

Imagine first year Harry Potter tapping his wand to the parchment to see if anything happens and, to his surprise, seeing thin, angular writing appear as if written by an invisible hand. 

Imagine first year Harry Potter’s excitement when the parchment reads: Mr. Prongs asks who is trying to uncover the carefully guarded secrets of the Marauders. 

Imagine first year Harry Potter whispering “My name is Harry Potter and I didn’t mean to pry,” before hurriedly trying to refold it and return it to where he’d found it 

Imagine first year Harry Potter’s astonishment when the writing reappears, this time saying: Let Mr. Prongs share his immense joy that Harry Potter has found this. He hopes that Harry will find the contents of this parchment useful and use it in a way that would make his father proud. 

Imagine first year Harry Potter’s smile sliding off his face as he says quietly, “I don’t know. My father’s dead, you see. 

Imagine first year Harry Potter’s confusion when the writing appears once again, saying: Mr. Prongs wishes to tell Harry Potter that while his father may be dead, he is still looking out for him and is incredibly proud of him. Mr. Prongs hopes that Harry Potter knows his father loves him very much. 

Imagine first year Harry Potter taking the map back to his dormitory and spending the rest of the evening talking to the mysterious Mr. Prongs about his mother and father, about whom the invisible man seems to know quite a bit.

Hermione Granger: *comes from muggle world and discovers magic*

Hermione Granger: *witnesses humans transfigure into animals*

Hermione Granger: *time-travels multiple times per day*

Professor Trelawney: “I can prophesize the future.”

Hermione Granger: “Bullshit. That can’t be possible. Fuck you.”

#you gotta draw the line somewhere #you gotta draw the fucking line in the sand dude #you gotta make a statement #you gotta look inside yourself and say #what am i willing to put up with today #not fucking this    

[rachellephant]

anyways hermione is a cutthroat bitch and her demonizing divination is due to the fact that she literally #cannot with emotional forms of magic. quidditch? which requires an emotional partnership of trust with the broom? nope. divination? which requires an emotional openness and willingness to forego logical conclusion at the whims of fate? are u fuckin kidding me. patronuses? which require not just technical skill but also a deep connection with your own emotional core? uhhhhh we’ll just let harry handle that one.

movie!hermione, w/ her advanced emotional intelligence and absolute willingness to meet each and every emotional need the boys have, should have of course been good at emotional magics like divination. shes fucking superwoman. but book!hermione? who destroyed a girls face without mercy because she ratted out the DA? who erased her parents memories so she could fight in a war? who solved dumbledores’ mysteries using ancient runes, an art that is practically the math of magic? book!hermione will destroy you and she will do it armed with the cold hard facts and the cold hard facts alone. book!hermione doesn’t give a shit. instead of getting a regular pet, book!hermione was drawn to a magical cat who is self-serving and intellectual and helped her gather clues rather than serving as an emotional companion. i mean fck.

full offense but hermione is so hardcore and logic-driven and she literally could give a SHIT about ur feelings

[qbnaith]

I was gonna counter this with the fact she gave the boys emotional advice on their love lives, but even then she did it in a very cold, logical way. “Cho is feeling x because y therefore you should have done z.”

[allthatwooloo]

harry’s behavior in order of the phoenix was ptsd you jerks

[amorremanet]

#not here for anyone complaining about harry being ‘whiny’ or ‘a drama queen’ #he’s an orphan who escaped from an abusive home only to be emotionally manipulated into a child soldier #he suffered extensive yearly traumas all connected to the guy who murdered his parents #he was forced to watch a friend get murdered #and then was tortured with the unforgivable curses #he was the target of a smear campaign led by the minister of magic #and he was deliberately isolated from his friends and entire support network while being returned to an abusive home #before he had any chance to deal with that #he’s a fifteen year old boy #who has been forced into unspeakable horror and torment since he was eleven #and his outbursts in ootp don’t make him weak they make him human #and the most amazing thing is that that’s the limit of his breaking #harry james potter is strong af

‘“Spew”?’ said Harry, picking up a badge and looking at it. ‘What’s this about?’

‘Not spew,’ said Hermione impatiently. ‘It’s S – P – E – W. Stands for the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare.’

‘Never heard of it,’ said Ron.

‘Well, of course you haven’t,’ said Hermione briskly, ‘I’ve only just started it.’

‘Yeah?’ said Ron in mild surprise. ‘How many members have you got?’

‘Well – if you two join – three,’ said Hermione.

Hermione researching house elf history and knitting socks for them in preparation for the creation of S.P.E.W. :D Hope you like!

fred and george are so kind and protective of harry. they are the first of the weasleys to speak to harry and they help bring his luggage onto the train and they are more sensitive to his background than harry’s friends his age and they’re all on the quidditch team together and they don’t ever make fun of harry for how he reacts to the dementors or for falling off his broom and they give him the marauders map and harry LOVES them and cares so much about their opinion of him and in book 5 when harry starts Freaking Out they like lightly drag him to bring him back to earth but they get it and harry GIVES THEM his triwizard winnings and they won’t let harry pay for anything at their joke shop HARRY FRED AND GEORGE ARE BEST FRIENDS

you know what Harry that is an interesting piece of information don’t be an ass

[thewereshark-deactivated2025062]

Harry, your whole thing is playing a sport that involves flying around on gravity resistant sticks made from trees.  Did you ever stop to think Neville was telling you this cause he was being considerate of your interests?

[the-tall-librarian]

I never caught this before!  Harry, you ass.

How I get my summer body:

1) Bone of the father, unwillingly given 

2) Flesh of the servant, willingly sacrificed 

3) Blood of the enemy, forcefully taken

I was on the bus thinking about Harry Potter tonight and I remembered the part where the Dementors all show up at the Quidditch game, and I remembered how they were all looking up at Harry, and I wondered why they would all be staring at him, and then I realized that it’s because he has two souls in him.

[pieandhotdogs]

On this note, wouldn’t that also be a reason why Harry would have had a more negative reaction than his friends (even Ginny)? He was hearing his mother’s voice as she was protecting him, which in itself was his worst memory. but the Dementors were also forcing the piece of Voldemort to relive its worst memory as well… The memory of being ripped apart by the curse that backfired. No wonder Harry passed out so often.

[sasskarian-archive]

I literally never thought about that.

[puppyvegeta-deactivated20190313]

omg…

[marauders4evr]

HOLY

[arctic-hands]

Oh FUCKING HELL, you just made me realize that it wasn’t Harry’s memory that was his father telling Lily to take Harry and run, and it wasn’t Harry’s memory of Lily screaming.

Here I was, just eating a cup of applesauce under the 14-year-long assumption that the reason a small infant was able to remember something was because this was a fictional world of magic, but no, now this entirely reasonable and somewhat less terrifying bubble has burst and I’m never going to recapture that innocence. 

I’m going to fucking bed.
