Just like Slughorn, Albus Dumbledore collects people. Only, instead of focusing on those with influence, he looks to the outcasts.

The expelled half-giant. The young werewolf. The repentant Death Eater.

He protects them and gives them a second chance. All he asks in return is their loyalty.

And, if on occasion he requests that they undertake a certain task, invoking their debt of gratitude - well, that is no more than he is owed.

He once thought to add a certain disowned Black to his collection, but quickly realised his mistake.

Sirius is not an outcast, but a rebel. He knowingly chose his path, and chooses what price he is willing to pay for it. He refuses to be used.

So Albus Dumbledore abandons him.

Who gave you the RIGHT?

[bonnini]

Dumbledore knows Sirius’s loyalty lies with Harry instead of him, and he has no use for someone who is not willing to follow his orders without question.

Ooooohoo if there’s ever a post that fits my aesthetic…

[not-a-bit-good]

okay but then where does Harry himself fit into this collection? Is he an outcast because he is “the Boy Who Lived”?

[marauders4evr]

Nooonono, my friend, that’s what makes this post so beautiful. Because it fits the meta I’ve been trying to get people to accept for years. 

Harry was an outcast due to a childhood filled with abuse and neglect. 

Vernon made him an outcast by dismissing his claims of magic, berating him, locking him in a CLOSET and putting bars on his window, and let’s face it, even though her editor made her cut it out, Jo intended for there to be physical abuse. 

Petunia made him an outcast by enabling and contributing to this abuse, as well as making Harry do dozens of chores while doting on Dudley. 

Dudley made him an outcast by bullying him and threatening any students at school who wanted to be his friends. 

And the rest of the wizarding world made him an outcast when they bullied him for being an outsider.

Harry James Potter became an outcast the moment he was placed with The Dursleys.

And who put him there in the first place?

I’m here for this Anti-Dumbledore discussion.

[gehayi]

This makes even more sense when you consider why Dumbledore deliberately made Harry an outcast.

Think about it What would Harry have been like if he had grown up in the wizarding world? Or, to put it another way, what would Harry have been like if he had grown up in a world where magic was the norm?

He would have taken magic for granted. He would have been less likely (especially as he got older) to view Dumbledore as a wise mentor and more likely to see him as flawed and capable of bad decisions. He would have seen both the world and Dumbledore as ordinary, with their good points and bad points.

But Dumbledore didn’t need a well-adjusted boy who took magic and the magical world for granted. He needed a child who would love the magical world unstintingly, even irrationally, because it was a haven from neglect and abuse. Even more, he needed a child who feared this world becoming evil and who therefore would not question someone that he saw as the ultimate authority, especially if he believed that obeying that authority would keep the world safe.

Even if obedience meant his own death.

Dumbledore wanted a martyr who would die for the wizarding world, because he believed that Voldemort could not die until Harry did. Which was why he left Harry with the Dursleys and let them neglect and emotionally abuse him for the next ten years.

To get a martyr, he first had to create a victim.

well… well, shit

[a-fangirl-summary]

what

[mintedwitcher]

Oh shit. Its been updated.

“Did you put your name into the Goblet of Fire, Harry?” Dumbledore asked calmly.

The word ‘calmly’ can hold different meanings in different circumstances. If you were to pass someone a bucket of water calmly when their house was burning down, it could suggest that you were the sort of brave individual who was always prepared to combat the sources of arson when they occur. If you were to ask a nervous bank teller to fill a sack with money while calmly pointing a gun at their head, it might mean that you were the kind of villainous person who practiced such odious and criminal activities on a regular basis. Or if, like me, you were to sit calmly typing the next chapter of your chronicle in the lives of some unfortunate young children, while all around you the kitchen of the reputable restaurant that you were hiding in was slowly filling with sand, it would indicate that you have a life that is often filled with peril and misfortune, and that you were bound by duty to complete your task, no matter how miserable.

Of course, the word ‘calmly’ is never used to indicate a person flying into a rage and shouting your words angrily. ‘Angrily’ is in fact an antonym of ‘calmly’, an antonym being a word with entirely the opposite meaning of the original, such as ‘villain’ and ‘volunteer’, ‘birthday party’ and ‘tragic fire’, or ‘author’ and ‘happy person’.

Now, obviously, a well-read and distinguished director of cinema would never mistake a word with its antonym. That would be preposterous, a word which here means ‘create an incredibly out of character scene and confuse the audience.’

Did you just Lemony Snicket “Calmly™”

[dailydianakko]

Y’know now that we have both The Owl House and Little Witch Academia, there is no actual excuse to stan harry potter anymore. Especially when she’s saying this bullshit.

Rest easy Legend. We'll miss you 💔

harry potter is a story that tries to tell you that your parents don’t define who you are, and has the main character’s skills be things that he’s effortlessly good at that his parents were also good at, and has him essentially following in their footsteps at crucial moments in his life

⚡️Golden Trio Tattoos ⚡️ 

 Wizarding world tattoos? Hell yeah. Took me a while to figure out what everyone would get. I also tried to feature all of their scars, a lot of which people don’t remember! Also, #jkrowling : 🖕🏼

Ron: A lion over his heart. Gryffindor pride, obviously. 

Hermione: More difficult, but Arithmancy is her favorite class at Hogwarts. Harry gave her a book on the subject for Christmas called “A New Theory of Numerology”, and this is a rune from the cover. 

Harry: The golden snitch, surrounded by “I open at the close”.

@princesserica84 Thoughts on Ron’s tattoo?

[princesserica84]

Ron looks so fucking hot 🤤

[pixieoftheopera]

Look at Ron and Hermione looking at each other 🥺

[princesserica84]

Oh damn you’re right! They look like they’re about to jump eachother hahaha!

[lizzylizzl]

The way she‘s holding her arms means he‘s able to see everything 🤪🔥

[princesserica84]

And the way she’s covering her mouth means she’s blushing!

[lizzylizzl]

He probably just made a saucy comment and is about to pick her up and throw her on the next available bed 🔥

[princesserica84]

He’d just throw her over his shoulder, take her to their room and ravish her.

[lizzylizzl]

Somebody please write this!

[savysami]

Reblogging for this hilarious thread. Did I draw all these things intentionally hoping that someone would pick up on it?… Absolutely, guilty as charged. Well done, guys.
