The Founders of Hogwarts (requested by @atopcat)

[feministd1rection]

Gender roles in a nutshell: the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang entrances in The Goblet of Fire.

[meloromantics]

also, to my knowledge neither of those schools were sex-segregated in the books

[seaniepop]

That bothered me more than the Dumbledore yelling, actually.

[forgiveninasong]

Nicolas Flamel was an alum of Beauxbatons.

The first headteacher of Durmstrang was a witch.

[hecallsmepineappleprincess]

Bam.

[roseforthethorns]

In the books, it even says that there were boys and girls from each school. Thanks Hollywood for making Durmstrang buff and all athletic men and Beauxbatons all feminine and dainty.

[zirijava]

Just imagine what it would have meant for every kid watching, seeing girls walking beside the guys in Durmstrang being “manly” and boys walking with Beuxbaton being flirty and feminine.

It would have shown that girls and boys can be however they want.

[drarrysgirl]

It also suggested that the only way a female could have be selected to participate was if she was not up against any male competition. In the books Fleur is chosen as the best candidate for her school from a selection of female AND male students. And she was the best PERSON. Not the best GIRL.

I’ll ask someone I like. Someone cool.

[d-cookie-deactivated20210317]

The fact that Snape is one of the youngest if not THE youngest professor is fucking hilarious.

[d-cookie-deactivated20210317]

Like how does he get away with half the shit he does like almost everyone there has taught him since he was 11 and they just see this 21 year old just walk back in like “Sup fuckers I’m a professor now by force better so you better start treating me like one.”

[d-cookie-deactivated20210317]

7th years in the school are like probably “Didn’t this fucker graduate 3 years ago?”

[maybeshesnaped]

Imagine being a fourth year who has done /said something to your classmate Snape and then in your 7th year he’s your TEACHER

[d-cookie-deactivated20210317]

THAT’S LOCKHART THAT’S LITERALLY LOCKHART LIKE

1. He Went to School with Snape

2. Got taught by Snape

3. Became part of the Staff like Snape

And the Fact that he’s acting like he knew shit about potions is hilarious cause you just got Snape in the corner like

“Listen here you little shit . I taught you. I’ve seen your test scores. I graded those shits and you coming in here talking about being able to come up with an antidote?…Sit down.”

[d-cookie-deactivated20210317]

The more people reblog this the more shock I am that they didnt know Snape started teaching at like 21 and he’s like 30 first book

[d-cookie-deactivated20210317]

People in the tags for the past week having been confused and going bananas so like we gonna forget about the movies. Because the movies got it all wrong

Snape is 31

Hagrid is 63

Professor Mcgonagall is 56

Lupin and Sirius and Peter (3rd movie/book) 33

Dumbledore is 112

Do what you will with this info fam

[bluthatesfabrikk]

You forgot Burbage. In the books, she’s in her twenties.

[the-witches-son]

Bringing this back around, when Snape started teaching in Aug/September 1981, he was 21

In Aug/September 1981, Lockhart was 17 :’)

[cokeworthprince]

lockhart, 17, never fucking learned how to read: actually professor ;-)

snape, professorially, as if he hasn’t just had his last growth spurt: on god, i’ll smack the shit out you. put—your hand—down.

Queenie Goldstein (b. 6 January, 1903) was a half-blood American witch and the younger sister of Tina Goldstein. She attended Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where she was sorted into Pukwudgie house. After graduating from Ilvermorny, Queenie acquired a desk job in the Wand Permit Office, within the Magical Congress of the United States of America. Because of her beauty, she was described by others as being a “bombshell”. She was also an extremely accomplished Legilimens, someone with the ability to extract feelings and memories from another’s mind. While initially on the same side as her sister Tina and friend, later brother-in-law Newt Scamander, Queenie was ultimately swayed to join Gellert Grindelwald’s side with the offer to be free to love and marry her boyfriend Jacob Kowalski, as well as the offer to provide his freedom to others.

We got into a debate in class the other day about Harry and Ginny as an endgame ship (long story, art school is weird) and my teacher made a super good point saying something like

“He didn’t just marry Ginny; he married into the Weasley family. They’ve been his real family for so long that it’s a natural conclusion to his arc.”

Which, like, FUCK, but also conjures the frankly breathtaking mental image of Harry proposing the idea one night at dinner and the ensuing fistfight over which one of the Weasley kids gets to marry him.

Harry: haha so I was thinking about how weird marriage is earlier?? Like, if I married one of you I’d legally be part of the Weasley family by law???? How strange is that???

George, already conjuring a ring: Well all you had to do was ask, Harry

Percy, fighting in the only way he knows how: I can get us the best tax benefits

Charlie, also fighting in the only way he knows how but completely certain he’s going to win: 

Ron: nO ONE IS MARRYING MY BEST MATE

Ginny, already rolling up her sleeves: I’ll fight you for him Ronald

[lytefoot]

This image, though.

[divagonzo]

The family that fights over Harry stays with Harry.

[sensicalabsurdities]

Ginny has to fight all her siblings off for the right to marry her own boyfriend.

Harry was kidding at the beginning, but it ends with Ginny defeating George in an all out skirmish in the backyard and dramatically proposing to Harry as George stumbles around trying to undo like three jinxes at once, and the completely genuine “Yes” tumbles out of Harry’s mouth before he even has time to think about it.

To this day, George insists he was 100% serious, and always makes a big show about having his heart broken on their engagement anniversary.

[lytefoot]

This got better.

“Potter, you cannot win against me! I was and am the Dark Lord’s most loyal servant. I learned the Dark Arts from him, and I know spells of such power that you, pathetic little boy, can never hope to compete.”

i know i use the word iconic a lot in relation to harry james potter but i feel it bears repeating here

[andthisisabitofboth]

Harry: “Here–”

[bisexualdagger]

Harry:

[tackminyard]

harry can’t duel

harry can’t duel

harry cannot duel

he only uses expelliarmus and he cannot duel

even if he’s dueling the FUCKING DARK LORD

[quillsand]

Imagine the conversation ministry officials must be having when they see his auror application:

“He’s Harry Potter!”

“I know but that doesn’t change the fact-”

“Harry! Freaking! Potter!”

“We still need him to attend extra duelling lessons-”

“We can’t put Harry Potter in extra duelling lessons!”

“He only ever uses one spell-”

“Yeah, but he’s really good at it.”

Harry Potter, the boy who dared to ask, “why study all these other spells if I can get really good at yeeting everyone’s wands out of their hands”

[jumpingjacktrash]

the day a dark wizard encounters the word ‘lanyard’ is the day harry potter dies for real

[marauders70s]

the day a dark wizard wears a lanyard and harry potter just straight up snaps his neck summoning that wand is a book too dark for this franchise
