Persephone

Hi, my name is Nina and I'm a 29 year old with a Bar Exam and a Master's Degree in International Law, from Belgrade ;) My interests include Harry Potter, Ralph Fiennes, Jason Isaacs and other hot British actors, haute couture fashion, rococo and preraphaelite art!

I think the real reason why some people say Krum is a creep is because the gentlemanly way he treated Hermione makes Ron look bad in comparison, and they need to find something to tear him down.

“He looked at her as a man might look at a faded flower he had plucked, in which it was difficult for him to trace the beauty that had made him pick and so destroy it.”

I really hate the fact that Lavender Brown died in DHP2. I know it’s “canon” and everything but it wasn’t in the books and I wish it didn’t happen. She wasn’t loved enough for her death to be mourned (by the fandom and even main characters), but she wasn’t hated enough for her death to be celebrated either. It’s just this awful limbo and I feel bad feeling as if no one cares that she died. I know she’s just a fictional character but still.

Here are a couple of old pictures of Ralph with his assistant from the 1990s, Becky.

I think Snape is a great character. Not because he’s a good person (he isn’t), but because he shows what indulging in negativity, hatred and anger, without any support can do to a person once they’re drowning in it.

I ship Voldemort/Bellatrix, but I don’t trick myself into thinking that it is sweet and romantic. I know it is very dark and twisted, I just find their dynamic to be very interesting and someone like Voldemort would only be interested in being around someone as dark and twisted as he is and that person is Bellatrix. It probably makes Voldemort happy that Bellatrix seems to worship him which is why he probably hold her in such high regard.

I can’t stand the lyrics to “Can You Dance Like a Hippogriff” from the Goblet of Fire movie. They feel incredibly forced to me, as though written by a songwriter who hates their job. They’re more cringeworthy than middle school poetry.
