the most unrealistic thing about harry potter
is that no teacher ever called him James by accident, or that Ron never was called âBill-, eh Charl-, no Per-, argh!â
As a younger sister who knows this struggle all too well: THIS IS REAL. Pretty sure 70% of my past teachers still think Iâm called what my sister is called in fact.
Imagine Fred being called Percy by McGonagall accidentally and then he gets so offended that he refers to her by âProfessor [insert any other name but McGonagallâ for the rest of the year, costing Gryffindor a considerable amount of points one at a time.
From then on, she vows to just call them all Mr Weasley.
Until Ginny comes along and she calls her Mr Weasley by accident and Ginny âaccidentallyâ calls her Sir and it starts again.
âIâm going to call it WonderFu. Because all of the stunt coordinators, they come from every discipline, so she just takes something from everybody and then just made it into this amazing fighting style.â - Gal Gadot on Wonder Womanâs battle technique.
We need more examples of genuinely happy, healthy relationships on TV and in books and films. No more of this bullshit about how real, epic love is painful and impossible or deadly. Love should not break you! Love should make you stronger. Show me two friends who make each other feel safe and confident and empowered. Show me a couple that respects each other fully and without question. Show me a couple that has FUN. Show me a couple that support each other. Show me a couple where their issues and conflicts are resolved with love, respect and kindness. Show me healthy love. Happy love. Real love.

Were James, Sirius, Remus, and Lily even there? ...No.
You read that correctly.
I just came to a very grim realization that makes a ton of sense. (Note: This might have been realized by others as well.)
We know that in the Tale of the Three Brothers, Deathâs main goal was to kill the brothers right? He was pissed because they had cheated him and he wanted to take their lives once and for all.
And so he gives the eldest brother the wand, knowing that someone would end up killing him for it. The youngest brother knows what Death is up to and takes his Invisibility Cloak, much to Deathâs reluctance, so that he can hide from Death until heâs ready to face him. And the middle brother? The middle brother was given the Resurrection Stone.
And what did the stone do?
It brought back his wife (sort of) and gave the brother such a huge desire to be with her that he ended up taking his own life.
Pfft. Can you imagine? The sort-of-kind-of appearance of your dead loved one convincing you to go die.
HahahahaâŚhaâŚyeahâŚ
And hereâs where it gets dark.
We know that Harry was willing to die for his friends because heâs a noble git whose face pops up in the dictionary next to the word:Â âself-sacrificeâ.
The only thing he was missing was the stigmata. (In fact, Iâm surprised Jo didnât put something like that in; she wasnât exactly subtle about it.)
Anyway, we know that Harry begins walking to the forest and though he is determined, he also begins to have second thoughts:
And then he activates the Resurrection Stone - the stone that Death intentionally used to kill the second brother.
And what happens?
Harryâs loved ones appear to him, though they look odd (and thatâs important; weâll come back to that later) and theyâre totally fine with him dying and even convince him that theyâre proud of him for what doing what heâs doing, that it doesnât hurt at all, and that itâll be quick.
So in conclusion, the four people who have gone above and beyond multiple times to protect this child are completely fine with him dying.
I mean Lily, the woman who leapt in front of her child and demanded to be killed in his place, only tells him that heâs been brave and doesnât say anything else. The woman who repeatedly pleaded for Harryâs life supposedly stands there and just lets him go die.
Yeah, thatâs in character (//sarcasm).
But of course, thatâs not Lily, is it?
Itâs not James.
Itâs not Sirius.
Itâs not Remus.
I donât even think it was the middle brotherâs wife.
I donât think that the Resurrection Stone brings back your loved ones at all. I think it shows you whatever it can to convince you to die.
Thatâs why James, Lily, Remus, and Sirius were all described as looking different than how they had died. (As opposed to say Nearly Headless Nick who looked exactly how he looked when he died, semi-detached head and all). And why the wife of the brother was described as looking/acting odd as well.
They werenât really there. They were basically magical holograms who said what they needed to say so that Harry wouldnât have any second thoughts as he marched towards death. And Death.Â
Because who greets him?
Thatâs right, Death himself.
I mean Dumbledore.
I meanâŚno actually thereâs been this really amazing theory going around for a while now that Dumbledore = Death and it actually makes a lot of sense.
Especially if you add my theory that Dumbledore intentionally gave Harry the Resurrection Stone so that when he was about to die, he would see magical holograms of his loved ones who would convince him that he was making the right choice, that it wouldnât hurt, that they were proud of him, etc.
Because we know that Dumbledore wanted Harry to die. Harry was raised like a pig for slaughter. Note: He didnât want Harry to be dead. He just wanted Harry to go through the action of dying so that Voldemort would be destroyed.
And so Dumbledore added this little detail to make sure that, well, the job would get done.Â
So in conclusion:
Centuries ago, Death wanted someone to die. He gave the person a stone that made an image (just an image) of his loved one, which convinced said person that he needed to die.
Centuries later, Death wanted someone to die. He gave the person a stone that made images (just images) of his loved ones, which convinced said person that he needed to die.
Iâm gonna be honest at first I thought this theory made no sense bUt like read it all it actually is something to think about. holy hell..
Thereâs a thing: weâve seen ghostly James and Lily before. They emerged from Voldemortâs wand during the duel in Goblet of Fire and their shades then, the echoes of their dead selves, are there to help Harry and clear a path for him.
This makes so much sense, because this resurrectio-stoned James and Lily are smiling and placid and too amenable to Harryâs plans. These are not the ghosts who gave him a way out when he would have died in that graveyard. These are not the people who leapt in front of him when he was a baby.
The faces called up by the resurrection stone are Deathâs own ghostly sirens. Heâs luring people to their end and they say what you need to hear to encourage you to join them. Itâs tempting and itâs peaceful and itâs not frightening. You only need to step out and die.
I donât want to date. I just want to magically end up in a long-term and emotionally-secure relationship with someone cute
make me choose between: deadpool or xmen?

for chinese new year they get all these famous actors and comedians together and they do a lil show and one of the comedians was like âi was in a hotel in america once and there was a mouse in my room so i called reception except i forgot the english word for mouse so instead i said âyou know tom and jerry? jerry is hereâ
jerry is here
my chinese teacher once shared this story in class about someone who went to the grocery to buy chicken, but they forgot the english word for it, so they grabbed an egg, went to the nearest sales lady and said âwhereâs the motherâ
When I was a teenager, we went to Italy for the summer holidays. We are German, neither of us speaks more than a few words of Italian. That didnât keep my family from always referring to me when they wanted something translated because âYouâre so good with languages and you took Latinâ. (I told them a hundred times I couldnât order ice cream in Latin, they ignored that.) Anyway, my dad really loved a certain cheese there, made from sheepâs milk. He knew the Italian word for âcheeseâ â formaggio â and he knew how to say âpleaseâ. And he had already spotted a little shop that sold the cheese. He asked me what âsheepâ was in Italian, and of course, I had no idea. So he just shrugged and said âIâll manageâ and went into the shop. 5 mins later, he comes out with a little bag, obviously very pleased with himself. How did he manage it? He had gone in and said â'Baaaahâ formaggio, prego.â
I was done for the day.
This makes me feel better about every conversation I had in both Rome and Ghent.
I once lost my husband in the ruins of a French castle on a mountain, and trotted around looking for him in increasing desperation. âHave you seen my husband?â I asked some French people, having forgotten all descriptive words. âHe is small, and English. His hair is the color of bread.â
I did not find my husband in this way.
In rural France it is apparently Known that one brings oneâs own shopping bags to the grocery store. I was a visitor and had not been briefed and had no shopping bag. I saw that other people were able to conduct negotiations to purchase shopping bags, but I could not remember the word for âbag.â
âCan I have a box that is not a box,â I said.
The checkout lady looked extremely tired and said, âUn sac?â (A sack?)
Of course. A fucking sack. And so I did get a sack.
I once was at a German-American Church youth camp for two weeks and predictably, we spoke a whole lot of English.Â
When I phoned my mom during week two I tried to tell her that it was a bit cold in the sleeping bag at night. I stumbled around the word in German because for the love of god, I could remember the Germwn word for sleeping bag.
âYeah so, itâs like a bag you sleep in at night?â
âAnd my mother must probably have thought I lost my mind. She just sighed and was like âSo, a Schlafsack, yes?â
Which is LITERALLY Sleeping sac ⌠The German word is a basically a one on one translation of the English word and I just⌠I failed it. At my mother tongue. BIG
My former boss is Italian and she ended up working in a lab where the common language was English. She once saw an insect running through the lab and she went to tell her colleagues. She remembered it was the name of a famous English band so she barged in the office yelling there was a rolling stone in the labâŚ
Iâm Spanish and have been living in the UK for a while now. I recently changed jobs and moved to a new office which is lost somewhere in the Midlandsâ countryside. Itâs a pretty quaint location, surrounded by forest on pretty much all sides, and with nice grounds⌠full of pheasants. I was pretty shocked when I drove in and saw a fucking pheasant strolling across the road. Calm as you please.
That afternoon I met up with some friends and was talking about the new job, and the new office, and for the life of me I couldnât remember the English word for pheasants. So I basically ended up bragging to my friends about âthe very fancy chickensâ we had outside the office.
Best thing is, everyone understood what I meant.
I love those stories so muchâŚ
Picture a Jewish American girl whose grasp of the Hebrew language comes from 10+ years of immersion in Biblical and liturgical Hebrew, not the modern language. Some words are identical, while others have significantly evolved.
She gets to Israel and is riding a bus for the very first time.
American:Â ××× ×××× ××? (âHow much money?â but in rather archaic language)
Bus Driver:Â ×Š×Ş× ×××××. (âTwo zuzimâ â a currency thatâs been out of circulation for millenia)
thatâs hilarious
I am officially screamlaughing at my desk from that last one OH MYÂ
When my parents were in Paris during their honeymoon, they went to a very upscale restaurant for dinner. My mom didnât know what one of the words on the menu meant, so she pointed to the word and asked the waiter âqu'est-ce que c'est?â The word was lamb, but the waiter didnât know the term in English, so he just said âle petit baaaaaâ
When I first got to Japan I was looking for free-range eggs but didnât have the vocabulary to ask properly, so I said âDo you have eggs from happy chickens that donât live in a box?â
why is it not common knowledge that tolkien and c s lewis once went to a non-costume party dressed as polar bears
tolkien also used to chase his neighbours down the street in full viking warrior gear, and once convinced a class he taught that leprechauns are real
IS THIS TRUE BECAUSE THIS IS GOLD. PURE GOLD
Both facts well documented. Â From this bio, for instance:

So has anyone made âSHIELD!â into a meme/motto for women supporting each other yet or do I have to do everything myself
Me: âSHIELD!â *takes a mighty leap off my gal palâs back to land across the street at the taco truck* *gets extra tacos for my gal* *we toast to womanhood with a lime wedge*
Itâs the new âyouâre a wanker no. 9!â Call out shield and 7 lesbians come running
