In Chamber of Secrets when Harry confesses not knowing what floo powder is, Ron’s immediate reaction is “Sorry, Harry, I should’ve realized”. As in him, Ron, should’ve remembered that Harry’s life is different from his own. No “you should’ve told me!” or “Why didn’t you say anything?” The first thing out of his mouth is to assure Harry that he, Ron, is to blame here, not Harry for not knowing a thing that’s everyday and ordinary to Weasleys.

Ron is an awesome friend.

tbh the only evidence i need that harry’s a gryffindor is the fact that he kept going back to the forbidden forest after voldemort tried to kill him, aragog tried to eat him, lupin turned into a wolf and attacked him, the dementors tried to kiss him, barty crouch was murdered and turned into a bone, umbridge was kidnapped by centaurs,, boy had to die in that forest before he stopped going back

[piesandswords]

we have no evidence he stopped

Happy Birthday, Alan Sidney Patrick Rickman! (21 February 1946)

“It’s the actor’s old, old plea — don’t fence me in! There are qualities of the sick, the selfish, the manipulator or the looker-on in all those parts but their minds extend in wildly different areas and they each have a particular vulnerability that has to be found. You play one of those parts [‘villains’] remotely successfully and before you know it you’ve got this label around your neck. And a label is not how I see myself at all. I’m as neurotic as the next person when it comes to being asked constantly to produce qualities which actually have nothing to do with you. One longs for a director with a sense of imagination rather than being filed away under ‘blond, uptight’ or ‘dark, sulky’ or whatever. The aim is never to generalize. That’s your job [as an actor], really. It’s about seeing [a character] in three dimensions as much as possible. If you can’t see him in three dimensions — and you can’t, always, certainly in the movies — then it’s about dealing in as much ambiguity as possible, so the audience has their own relationship with the character. It’s about pulling the rug out from people’s preconceptions. See if you can write an entire article without using the words ‘villain’ or ‘bad guy’ once. I don’t see any of [my characters] as one word. It doesn’t matter what I’m playing: it’s not one word, and I think any actor would say the same.”

“From what I remember I was on the set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows [for my 17th birthday]. They had a cake and it was Bill and Fleur’s wedding so everyone was already really dressed up and it felt very special as a result. They all sang happy birthday as I tried to hide my face and then we got back to work. By 17 I had lost all patience with the teenage experience. I looked down on other teenagers and was scathing of the peer pressure. I felt like I was just killing time until I could get out of school and really become who I wanted to be… In retrospect, I was a bit of a snob, a defiant weirdo and I was deeply suspicious and fearful that people only liked me because of my Harry Potter credentials. I kept teenagers at arm’s length as a result and preferred books to people.” —Evanna Lynch [x]

hogwarts houses & autumn aesthetics

gryffindor. oversized jumpers; roasting marshmallows over a crackling fire; laughing hysterically while pumpkin carving; the smell of cinnamon and baking; playing in puddles with bright gumboots; hair blowing wildly in the wind; cute beanies with pom poms; warm, rosy cheeks; burning your tongue when you sip a hot drink too quickly; early morning runs; worn, flannel shirts; pretending to be a dragon with clouds of warm breath in the cold air

hufflepuff. long, woollen socks; vanilla-scented candles; a warm blanket over your shoulders; jumping into a pile of autumn leaves; fluffy earmuffs; creamy hot chocolate with whipped cream on top; hanging fairylights everywhere; playing with your pet on a warm rug; thick mittens; a warm bath to relax after a long day; the crunching of leaves underfoot; capturing the image of dancing leaves with a vintage camera

ravenclaw. people-watching through foggy windows in cafés; reading a favourite book by candlelight; long, thick scarves; staying up late to play board games; wandering aimlessly under falling leaves; oversized, knitted cardigans; muted sunlight filtered through autumn leaves; late nights binging on netflix; a chilly wind freezing the tip of your nose; scribbling in notebooks under overcast skies; the natural silence of the woods; the dancing tendrils of steam from a mug of hot tea

slytherin. cold and misty mornings; warming your hands on a mug of hot coffee; dark lip colours; the dance of walking barefoot across a cold floor; stylish, long overcoats; falling asleep to the pattering of rain on the window; meandering wooded roads; lace-up leather boots; the flickering of candlelight in the dark; lying on a tartan blanket while listening to music through headphones; burying yourself in soft, warm blankets at the end of the day

the most unrealistic thing about harry potter

is that no teacher ever called him James by accident, or that Ron never was called “Bill-, eh Charl-, no Per-, argh!”

[animateglee-archived]

As a younger sister who knows this struggle all too well: THIS IS REAL. Pretty sure 70% of my past teachers still think I’m called what my sister is called in fact.

Imagine Fred being called Percy by McGonagall accidentally and then he gets so offended that he refers to her by “Professor [insert any other name but McGonagall” for the rest of the year, costing Gryffindor a considerable amount of points one at a time.

From then on, she vows to just call them all Mr Weasley.

Until Ginny comes along and she calls her Mr Weasley by accident and Ginny “accidentally’ calls her Sir and it starts again.

[kyraneko]

It’s lightly off-topic but also slightly relevant but I have long cherished this mental image of Professor Snape saying something snappish to Harry in just the wrong tone of voice and Harry absentmindedly, wearily, and completely accidentally responding with, “Yes, Aunt Petunia.”

[tarvek-sturmvoraus]

which would have all kinds of additional ramifications when you remember snape is the only one who knew petunia personally
