one thing i find to be questionable about the overall messaging of harry potter is the focus on getting rid of a sole, single person as the big source of all evil in the world. there’s nothing about dismantling corrupt systems of power that allow said evil person to thrive, which is weird because harry potter does highlight that the ministry is inherently corrupt even before voldemort gets in there

they let lucius malfoy and other death eaters get away with being blatantly shitty people because malfoy has money, while sidelining and discriminating against people like arthur weasley because he doesn’t have the money or clout to oppose them. they use the media to slander harry for calling them out despite him being 100% correct. they harass and belittle mrs figg during the court hearing because she is a squib, despite her testimony being completely valid and correct. the fact that it doesn’t really take much for voldemort to get in and really start fucking things up is telling.

and yet, there’s no focus on changing it. the ministry is what it is and we just have to deal with it, i guess. hermione takes over as minister and we’re meant to believe that by putting a good person in this corrupt system full of people who at the bare minimum let the ministry do what it was doing, everything is sorted and better now.

ultimately its messaging is that people who do big and obvious evil things are bad, but it’s all down to the individual person, if governments and authorities are bad the only recourse is to join them. and that’s bullshit.

“Draco’s like… snow,“ said Hermione quietly, her gaze absent and distracted. “It’s cold and cruel to begin with, but it’s somehow beautiful, and you miss it when it’s not there. And if you hold it in your hands close enough and long enough, it changes. It melts.”

it is exceptionally lonely, being draco malfoy. i will always be suspected. there is no escaping the past.

so according to the harry potter narrative, love potions are wrong when merope does it but funny when romilda does it

and obliviating people is funny (the muggle at the quidditch world cup, lockhart obliviating himself) unless it’s specifically lockhart doing it to others

and ron confounding his driving instructor is also fine

what the fuck kind of morality even is this

Don’t say I’m better off dead, ‘cause heaven’s full and hell won’t have me. Won’t you make some room in your bed? Oh, well you could lock me up in your heart, and throw away the key. Won’t you take me out of my head?

It’s the year 2030. They’re making a Harry Potter remake, not a modern adaptation but set in the original era. And it’s fucking indulgent in 90s nostalgia. Someone’s got a butterfly clip, Ron is wearing a choker, there’s muggles playing with pogs, Spice Girls is playing in the background. Voldemort is wearing a crop top.

It’s simultaneously the worst and fucking best thing you’ve ever seen.

tom riddle. I can make things move without touching them. I can make animals do what I want them to do without training them. I can make bad things happen to people who annoy me. I can make them hurt if I want to.
