Okay but to expound on my deaf!Harry postâŠ
- Dumbledore contacts Lupin before Harry attends Hogwarts and has him learn sign language and hires him as an interpreter for Harry during classes
- Snape: âare you listening to me potter?â
Harry, speaking to the best of his ability: âto be fair I canât listen to anyone, however I was, in fact, paying attentionâ
-Hermione tirelessly helping Harry with speech and pronunciation so he can get spells right
-Ron aggressively trying to learn sign language to communicate with Harry and heâs so embarrassed he canât get the hang of it at first but Harry thinks itâs the nicest thing anyone has ever done for him because what are friends??
-Draco, mouthing: âI hate youâ
Harry, misreading hate as date: âIf you wanted a date you should have said something sooner.â
-Harry signing rude things at Umbridge.
Umbridge: âWhat did he say!?â
Lupin: âhe said youâre charming.â
-The entire Weasley family learning basic sign language for whenever Harry is with them, making him feel more at home since the Dursleyâs never made a decent effort with it.
- McGonagall aware of Harryâs condition from observation at the Dursleyâs prepared and learned sign language and signs when she can during her class, allowing Lupin the occasional break.
McGonagall: âYouâre not sneaky Mr. Weasley; I very well know what you just signed.â
- Voldemort monologuing in sign language
Harry: âIâm sorry I donât understand, Iâm blind.â
