“And Percy was shaking his brother, and Ron was kneeling beside them, and Fred’s eyes stared without seeing, the ghost of his last laugh still etched upon his face.”
We might have misunderstood Hogwarts Houses for years
I have a theory that the valued quality of each of the four Houses isn’t really about the personality of its students.
The valued quality of each of the four Houses has to do with how they perceive magic.
Stick with me a second: Hogwarts is a school to study magic. Magic as Hogwarts teaches it can be seen as many things: a natural talent, a gift, a weapon, etc.
So how you believe magic should be used will both reflect your personality and change how you handle that power.
“Their daring, nerve, and chivalry set Gryffindors apart,” Gryffindors perceive magic as a weapon. Gryffindors tend to excel in aggressive forms of magic, like offensive and defensive spells, and they are good at dueling. But a true Gryffindor knows that the power is a responsibility, and so they must always use their powers to stand up for what’s right. They are the sword of the righteous, which makes them as good at Defense Against the Dark Arts as they are at combat magic.
Hufflepuffs believe that magic is a gift and that the best gifts are to be given away. Hufflepuffs, “loyal and just,” would naturally abhor the idea of jealously guarding magic or using it to hurt someone else. So Hufflepuffs share their magic to benefit of Muggles, like the Fat Friar, to protect the overlooked, like Newt Scamander with his creatures, or to oppose those who would use magic to torment and bully, like the Hufflepuffs who stood with the DA and the battle of Hogwarts.
Slytherins are the opposite: they believe their magic is a treasure that they have been entrusted to protect. The Slytherin fascination with purity, with advantage, with cunning and secrecy–all of which were perverted by the Death Eaters–comes from the idea that people with magic in their veins have been given something special that it is their duty to protect at all costs. And perhaps they aren’t entirely wrong: power in the wrong hands can be dangerous. And power interfering at will with Muggle affairs is a gross presumption that could turn the course of history. Though the series shows some of the worst that Slytherin can be, “evil,” is not a natural Slytherin tendency. “Cautious,” is.
Ravenclaws believe that magic is an art form, one that is beautiful and should be appreciated and studied for its own sake. If “wit beyond measure is man’s greatest treasure,” then asking what magic is for is useless. It’s more important to immerse oneself in magic for its own sake. Ravenclaws push the boundaries of magic to see if they can, hence Hermione’s spell experiment on the DA coins being dubbed a Ravenclaw quality, but like Luna Lovegood in the pursuit of extraordinary creatures: they can also be content to plumb the depths of what already exists.
So while you can see where personalities will overlap over Houses, perhaps in Sorting we should be asking ourselves less what we think we are and more what we think we believe.
that’s much more interesting and substantive than “brave, smart, evil, miscellaneous”

POINT AND LAUGH
this isnt funny. this is devastating to fans of the fantastic beasts saga
You know what's even more devastating? All the anti-lgbt legislature that she's supporting
Remember when Ursula K. Le Guin called JK Rowling a nasty basic bitch back in like, 2004? We should have listened
“This last is the situation, as I see it, between my A Wizard of Earthsea and J.K.Rowling’s Harry Potter. I didn’t originate the idea of a school for wizards — if anybody did it was T.H.White, though he did it in single throwaway line and didn’t develop it. I was the first to do that. Years later, Rowling took the idea and developed it along other lines. She didn’t plagiarize. She didn’t copy anything. Her book, in fact, could hardly be more different from mine, in style, spirit, everything. The only thing that rankles me is her apparent reluctance to admit that she ever learned anything from other writers. When ignorant critics praised her wonderful originality in inventing the idea of a wizards’ school, and some of them even seemed to believe that she had invented fantasy, she let them do so. This, I think, was ungenerous, and in the long run unwise.“
i found the specific quote i was thinking of x
Q: Nicholas Lezard has written ‘Rowling can type, but Le Guin can write.’ What do you make of this comment in the light of the phenomenal success of the Potter books? I’d like to hear your opinion of JK Rowling’s writing style
UKL: I have no great opinion of it. When so many adult critics were carrying on about the “incredible originality” of the first Harry Potter book, I read it to find out what the fuss was about, and remained somewhat puzzled; it seemed a lively kid’s fantasy crossed with a “school novel”, good fare for its age group, but stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited.
damn gurl :’]
“Mean-spirited” is the perfect word for harry potter…

Ten Scenes from The “Half-Blood Prince” Movie that Weren’t in the Book

Ten Scenes from The “Half-Blood Prince” Movie that Weren’t in the Book
If you ask every Potterhead what’s the worst film adaptation in the saga, we’re pretty sure lots of them will answer Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. The movie lacks lots of very important plot lines, like Voldemort’s past, and it feels like someone decided to make it into a sort of comedy that doesn’t go well with the general atmosphere of the series.
However, many fans loved HBP, because it feels like that’s exactly what we need before the last two parts, where things get even more dangerous and sad. The movie offered many interesting moments, which were a little unusual for the Harry Potter series, but still were fun to watch. And now, we’re gonna discuss all the scenes, that were in the movie, but not in the book.
1. Harry gets a date.
As Harry’s reading the Daily Prophet in a local café, he starts talking with the beautiful waitress and asks her on a date. Sadly, Dumbledore suddenly arrives and ruins Harry’s plans. We appreciate all the moments that show the simple life of the characters, because with everything going on, sometimes we forget that Harry and his friends are just teenagers who are supposed to worry only about getting bad grades or asking someone out.
Harry flirts with the waitress
2. Harry, Ron, and Hermione have a laugh.
This was also a very short scene, proving the previous point. As the golden trio is discussing going back to Hogwarts, they start laughing at the silliest joke about Dumbledore’s age. This was a very cozy moment, something we didn’t get to see much of… just friends hanging out and having a laugh.

3. Malfoy tries to fix the cabinet.
One of the things we absolutely loved about the sixth movie, was that it showed some scenes from Malfoy’s perspective as well. In the book, we find out that he was trying to fix the Vanishing Cabinet throughout the year, but in the movie, we get to see both his successful and unsuccessful attempts and “journey”.

4. Hermione talks to Harry about Ginny.
In the book, Hermione realizes that Harry has developed feelings for Ginny but doesn’t discuss it with him. On the contrary, she constantly makes little stinging remarks, asking why Harry’s talking or asking about Ginny. In the movie, however, she is a better friend, and as she is crying about Ron and Lavender, she also comforts Harry, saying she knows exactly how he feels.

5. Death Eaters set the Burrow on fire.
As Harry’s spending his Christmas holidays at the Burrow, it gets attacked by Death Eaters. This adds a little more action to the relatively uneventful movie, as Harry, Ginny, Arthur, Remus, and Tonks are trying to chase the enemy. This scene was very tense. And seeing The Burrow – our symbol of home and comfort, get burned was quite emotional.

6. Remus and Tonks date.
While in the book we got to guess what’s going on with Tonks, and even suspect that she’s heartbroken because she was in love with Sirius, in the movie the director got rid of that whole plot, and made Remus and Tonks date straight away. Well, at least in the films they got to spend more time together.
Lupin and Tonks leave the Burrow
7. Lavender confronts Hermione.
We love seeing some teenage love drama in the series, and the scene in the Hospital Wing where Lavender comes to visit her “Won-Won” and starts confronting Hermione is just hilarious. Next time you rewatch this part, make sure to pay attention to each of the professors’ facial expressions in the background. Trust us, you won’t regret it.

8. Harry gets drunk from Felix Felicis.
For most of the series, Harry’s always been quite moody and serious, so it was fun to see the cheerful side of him. In the book, he’s simply in high spirits, but in the movie, he actually gets drunk from the Felix. And let’s not forget about two hilarious scenes of drunk Harry: the one, when he’s answering Slughorn with his serious “Sir?”, and the next, when he’s imitating Aragog’s pincers. Oh, and singing along with Hagrid and Slughorn.

9. Students raise wands.
This was one of the most emotional moments, as the students and teachers raised their wands for Dumbledore, after finding out that he was killed. The scene gives goosebumps every single time. Not to mention that it became a symbol of farewell for all Potterheads in the world.

10. Harry, Hermione, and Ron look at the lake.
Could there be a better “saying goodbye to Hogwarts” moment than this? As the three friends discuss their further plans, they look out of the Astronomy Tower, as Fawkes flies in the sky. The simple quote – “I’ve never realized how beautiful this place was”, is truly touching, because it gives an official farewell to one chapter in Harry’s life and opens another one.

Most of these extra scenes didn’t add anything essential to the plot, but they’ve become an integral part of the Harry Potter legacy, so they are definitely worth talking about.
