the Hogwarts teachers were my favourite part of the books remember in CoS when they were so sick of Lockhart that they chased him out of the staffroom by reminding him he’d said he could kill Slytherin’s monster in seconds, remember in OotP when they couldn’t tell Harry they approved of his interview so they did wildly extravagant favours for him, like giving him twenty house points for passing a watering can, or bursting into tears and announcing that he’d live a long and happy life? on that note remember how much McGonagall disliked Trelawney and all her little digs, and remember how she ran forward to brace Trelawney as she was being kicked out by Umbridge? remember how McGonagall ran out to defend Hagrid from trained Aurors with nothing but her words and took four Stunning Spells to the chest? remember when she told Peeves how to unscrew the chandelier? i could go on about McGonagall especially for days but i love all of them so much

“I know I’ll be in Slytherin, all our family have been.”

Tom Felton visited the Harry Potter play in London yesterday.

[stavvers]

I’ve just come to the realisation that Hermione Granger probably memory charmed her parents and packed them off to Australia long before she told Harry and Ron she’d done it at the beginning of Deathly Hallows.

She literally never goes home from Goblet of Fire onwards, spending her summers with the boys instead. In GoF she’s remarkably blase about her teeth, something her dentist parents would have noticed and felt hurt about. 

If I were to guess, I’d say she probably did it after the wizarding world cup when she’d seen exactly how the wizarding world treats muggles and decided not to let that happen to her folks. Hermione knows which way the wind is blowing and gets in early. She’d be more than capable of doing it. 

[captainlordauditor]

…Oh my God.

[peregrinelight]

hermione is fucking ruthless and i will fight anyone who tells me otherwise that was her “negative” gryffindor trait was she incredibly brave and courageous and loyal? yes but she was also vicious and violent and trapped a woman as a beetle in a jar for over a year because she pissed her off

[roachpatrol]

hermione granger looked at the world, and looked at her magic, and looked at everyone else’s magic, and seemed to come to the conclusion that reality had better shut the fuck up and behave itself or she’d make it. 

of all the kids, i think she’s dumbledore’s successor, not harry. 

[magic-owl]

See this is why I don’t like it when people try and pass her off as this flawless pure sweet angel. Like no, she’s emotional, loud, angry, brash, and vindictive, and she’s absolutely awesome just like that. Don’t woobify her.

[caffeinewitchcraft]

YES

Like she went from “oooh, we can’t do that, we could get expelled”  (which was already pretty metal, tbh, because she said that was worse than death) to straight up LIGHTING A TEACHER ON FIRE

She went from crying when Ron said something mean about her to punching Draco right in the face

She went from stressing about the Rules to brewing illegal potions in an abandoned, haunted wash room!!!

Harry and Ron only ever taught Hermione Granger one lesson and that was to forget about rules.

[chippish]

For the record she did NOT trap Rita in a jar for over a year. It was a couple weeks at the absolute most, likely only a couple of days. Hermione captures her the night of the third task in the hospital wing and releases her when they get off the hogwarts express. The HP lexicon estimates the third task to be on the 24th of June and Hogwarts Express ride to be on July 3rd, so that’s 10 days, but those are just estimates as the book doesnt give any firm transitions of time. (okay, technically she says while on the train that she INTENDS to let her out “when we get back to london.” we dont technically see this but we have no reason to assume she’s lying or that she changes her mind.) the mistake was probably made because in the next sentence hermione says she’s told rita not to write for a year (literally: “keep her quill to herself for a whole year”). I just felt the need to point this out in so much detail because yes hermione is ruthless to the point of cruelty (she captured a woman in a jar!!! for days!!!) but keeping her prisoner for over a year would send her way beyond ruthless into the territory of literal villain. So while hermione is a cut throat bitch (i use the term with affection) she is not a fucking psychopath

[el-huddpudd]

Another why reason why I think c*rsed child was trash.. to extend the Hermione & Dumbledore parallels - I think she would’ve decided that Minister of Magic was similarly the wrong position to put herself in, that even if she could, she didn’t want to/knew she shouldn’t/remembered the awful mistakes (and this is the homegirl who’s boggart was failing) of past ministers and said ‘nah imma take down The Ancient And Most Bigoted Laws of Whack’ then systematically destroyed the corruption infiltration of blood purists through the MLE dept

A study into fandom hate of James Potter.

[regbian-moved-to-lezbianz]

we need to stop forcing girls to wear makeup and lose weight and shave every day!! and i say GIRLS and not women for a reason because there are literal twelve year old girls (and younger) who are spending hundreds of dollars on makeup and taking an hour every day to make it look perfect! there are literal twelve year olds who already think their body hair is gross and needs to be shaved off! there are literal twelve year olds who are skipping meals and going on diets because they’re convinced the perfectly normal fat they have is unhealthy and ugly!!! there are girls who are growing up with the idea that their bodies will never be enough without relentless, expensive, and tiring modification, and that they’re just lazy and “”“unladylike”“” if they don’t meet every single one of society’s beauty standards!!! do you SEE how fucked up this is ????

[51g970n284-deactivated20220926]

There are girls growing up believing that if they don’t do all those things then they’re garbage who doesn’t deserve to live. And other women who keep telling them that it’s a “choice”. That it’s “empowering”.

The Golden Trio!

[ginervaw-blog1]

Ooooh this is so perfect! And Ron is EXACTLY like i allways imagined him in my head.

[ron-is-awesome-sauce]

I will never get over just how messed up the situation with Ron’s dress robes was because there was literally so many solutions to the problem.

First off, Molly is a witch, who studied transfiguration in school for years. She’s also an established seamstress.   So why not use transfiguration to fix up his robes, why not use her sewing skills to get rid off some of the lace and designs and extra stuff and make it something a teenage boy would want to wear?  Hell, She even mentions that Arthur has dress robes, why not let Ron borrow those since Arthur is described as tall and lanky like Ron and I’m sure he would fit them, and if he couldn’t they could shrink them instead of going out and spending money on terrible Robes that I know for a fact that Molly knew Ron wouldn’t like.

Why would she send her son out to  a formal ball, where foreign wizards and diplomats and important Ministry Officials would be attending, looking like a hot mess. Why would she do that to him? That is the equivalent of my mom sending me to prom in a sack.  Which she didn’t. My mom worked around the budget to get me a new dress and shoes, which is why I’m on Molly so hard for this because there is no excuse. She has magic. You do not intentionally send your child out to an important event like that looking like crap, especially if you have the means to fix it.

And what makes it even worse is that apparently none of the other Weasley kids went to the ball looking like something straight out of the 1800’s because you best believe Ron would have complained about it. We even hear about them from Harry during the ball and he doesn’t say anything about their robes being as bad as Ron’s so we can assume they had perfectly acceptable robes. There are some very unfortunate implications behind that.

And that comment on him going to the ball naked, and how it would be a good laugh was way beyond what is okay for a parent to say in that situation. It completely devalues Ron’s legitimate feelings of looking like a joke and feeds into his insecurities.

It makes no sense. I can’t think of any logical reason why Molly would do something so wrong.

Because at the end of the day Molly made a conscious decision to go out and buy those robes for Ron. At the same time, she buys Harry robes that she knows he would like, and that she put a lot of thought into getting apparently because she comments on how she got them, so they would match his eyes, while simultaneously sending her son out with horrendously ugly robes with no thought put into the embarrassment Ron would feel or about the environment she was sending him out to because she knew  exactly what he would be need those robes for and yet she didn’t stop to think ‘ well maybe since this is such a big event I could make them look presentable’. Molly didn’t even try for Ron.

I think  a lot of times Molly did the best she could in her financial  situation and I know she loves her kids, but the way she treats Ron sometimes makes me side-eye her pretty hard because it brings up some very uncomfortable implications that I don’t like.

[windschildfanfictionwriter]

I completely agree. It was really messed up of her. 

[hillnerd]

I agree that those solutions would work if Molly thought the robes were bad.

I think she honestly didn’t think they were that bad- and then ignored Ron’s complaints because she always does. She is always harried, and simply doesn’t listen when the kids complain about something as ‘silly’ as preferences of color of sweater, or food, or dress robes. I get it- they’re poor and have had to make do with whatever they have on hand- but she takes it a step further and truly ignores Ron the most of anyone.

I think she also doesn’t really realize- she’s not a stay at home mom with 7 kids at home anymore? Her life has changed significantly- she really did use to have 7 kids all at home at the same time- that’s a LOT of kids. At that point, she relly did not have time to deal with preferences on much of anything because at that point- be happy you’re fed, clean, well educated, clothed etc. She’s a great mom in so many ways, but sometimes she lets that harried attitude continue, even when she’s no longer the busy mother she used to be. Granted, she’s getting older, but….

 That’s one thing that what makes me the most put out sometimes- she’s always ‘such a busy mom’- but… her kids have been out of the house for 9 months of the year for 2 years by the beginning of Goblet of Fire.

She’s legit busy in the summer- or on holidays when she’s feeding everyone- but Ron’s 4th year… What exactly did she have on her plate leading up to the Yule Ball after the kids are back in school? She wasn’t in the Order at that point.

 So she’s dusting an empty house, looking after chickens, doing property maintenance, and knitting sweaters and fixing 1-2 meals a day for 2 people, and lunch for herself. I mean, it’s not nothin’ to maintain a large property- but She had MONTHS to consider what Ron thought- and try to fix the robes then send them to him. She didn’t even try to do that because she dismissed it in hand at the moment, and probably never thought of it again. 

And it all comes down to the whole ‘I’m a busy mom stop complaining, at least you have robes’ thing- as well as a bit of JKR loving to make Ron the butt of jokes. I disagree that her joke about him going naked was out of line, though. Like, it’s funny. 

In the end, Molly (and everyone in the series) continually don’t really consider Ron’s feelings on anything, never apologize, and continually devalue him. It’s a theme- and Molly, for all her wonderful traits, is established as a huge insecurity for him even from the first chapter we meet him. 

He legit feels like his mum cares less for him than the rest of his family, including Harry- and she doesn’t do much to make him feel valued in the series, with the exception of when he got prefect. But frankly, when the only time you give much attention/affirmation to someone is if they do something amazing- then ignore them the rest of the time… it doesn’t help them feel like much. It makes them feel like their achievements are the only reason they have any value to anyone at all- which is demoralizing when you will never be able to achieve as much as everyone else int he family either. Add in the obvious preference of attention she gives Harry- and it’s no wonder the horcrux brought it up. :(

[ginervaw-blog1]

Ooh. This makes my heart ake even more for Ron. I just wanna take that sweet boy home and spoil him rotten :/ But at the same time I do think Molly is a wonderful woman, and mum. Most of the times..

[ginervaw-blog1]

I've allways found the book cover of the swedish harry potter books so pretty! The beuty of this cover was one of the reasons I first picked up the book and started to read, all those years ago when I was eleven.

Harry and Ron → bromance

“He must have known I’d want to leave you.”  “No, he must have known you would always want to come back.” 

[meruz]

Harry hesitated, but after all, Ron had been honest with him, so he told Ron the truth…

one of my absolute favorite bits from the hp books that never made it into the movies. though admittedly, the ootp movie had to rly condense a lot. i think the relationship between harry and ron is super underrated/overlooked - there’s so much love, trust, and support between them in this scene.

[meruz]

I POSTED THIS BEFORE I REALIZED ITS ACTUALLY RONS BDAY TODAy, so heres an extra scribble happy birthday to ron my fave 

[pripecias]

i never talk about these things but i can’t remain silent.

i know tumblr doesn’t give a SHIT when things happen in countries outside the “most popular ones” (such as the usa & england). it’s true, don’t lie to me. y’all don’t give A FUCK. not every issue and problem in said countries gets the appropriate exposure but in general shit shows up on the news WORLD FREAKING  WIDE. you set up donations, you help out, your spread the word, you say “pray for x”……

southern europe is burning. 

my country is burning.

people are dying - at home, on the road, trying to run away, in their cars.

yesterday my country had 300 active fires.

people are losing EVERYTHING they own.

i have a friend that is on a train right now passing through places that have been burnt to the ground and she says the smoke is so intense it’s getting inside the train and she can barely breathe.

and yet, even though several people (myself included) have been trying to bring awareness to what has been happening in southern europe… what we get from most of you, those not part of the countries suffering, is silence. we don’t ask for money, we don’t ask for shit other than a reblog to spread awareness… something you can delete in 24/48hrs if you wish. 

i don’t know what to tell you. i’m angry. i’m frustrated. i’m disappointed. i feel like i’m screaming into the void. “a reblog does nothing” - you know that’s a damn lie, you know exposure always helps, you know people start paying attention when posts on social media become popular. my country in particular is a small one, we get ZERO exposure. y’all are only starting to figure out we even fucking exist bc of the shit we’ve been winning lately. 

but hell, if the EU doesn’t give a shit, why should some user on tumblr dot com?

again, i don’t know what to tell you so i’ll let the images speak for themselves:

This is fucking important. I am glad someone fucking spoke about this and said what they had to say. The damage is terrible, and all the evergreen, stone, even the ground is black. I was fucking terrified when Croatia was burning. The fire was near a village where I like and I thought it will burn down. I thought the church will burn down. I thought the cemetery where my grandpa is buried will burn. I still remember the smell of smoke, and when I went to check how bad is fire, my clothes and hair and skin all stunk of smoke. It didn’t go away for weeks.

This is NASA’s picture of Croatia and Montenegro burning. My fucking country was burning. Fucking reblog this. I don’t care that it isn’t UK or US, or that it doesn’t go with your blog, fucking. Reblog. It.

Last year southern italy was literally burnt down and nobody cared. Even the fucking vesuvius and fucking positano were burning. So i’m reblogging the fuck out of this

[decaffeinateddreambeliever]

that’s what happened to Spain last year. need to reblog

[weasley-detectives]

The bodies of 26 people in Greece were found huddled together on a field close to the beach. A woman who had made it to the water with her 3 Yr old told the press people were running from their cars towards the water, but the fire moved so quickly she knew many of the people behind her wouldn’t make it. She found the path to the beach, but those 26 people? They didn’t find the path in time. The terror they must have suffered in their last moments doesn’t bare thinking about, but at the same time we have to confront this. If we turn away, we are complicit. These aren’t entirely natural disasters after all, this is climate change in action. And it will continue to get worse.

[snowflake-collections-deactivat]

I have heard about Greece but the others? Holy fuck, if you are from this area then please stay safe!

Heh, and I keep complaining about the rainy summers here in Austria…

[neighbourhood-truthscum]

K everyone reblog this, fuck “blog types”, a country is burning and we need to talk about this.

❝ I never felt overwhelmed by playing Luna. I felt like I knew exactly what to do in that respect. It wasn’t acting, it was just a beautiful opportunity to play as a character I loved so much and an exercise in channelling her spirit. Playing Luna was a 100% positive experience and I credit David Yates for trusting me with her and giving me so much creative freedom and input. On the other hand, I felt like I was terribly ill-equipped to be a celebrity. The fame part of things was not easy. I was a teenager with acne and self-esteem issues and I vividly remember going to stay at the fanciest hotel and looking at myself in a gilded mirror, feeling like I was too ugly to stay in this room. I’ve come to see that awkwardness and that sense of being ill-fit as a gift, however. It’s why I empathise so much with Luna and why confident social misfits always inspire me. I keenly know the pain of not fitting in and it makes me wish I had a shell I could crawl up into. Luna knows what it feels like to not belong anywhere and yet she embraces that feeling and doesn’t let it dim her spirit. That state of mind serves as a bold statement to me. It’s why I was able to channel her; her message and spirit was far greater than my ego. In terms of being typecast, sure people will do it but it’s up to me to redefine their impression of me and I feel confident in my ability to do that. Being typecast gives me something to work against.❞
