Fandom Thoughts of a Ravenclaw

Another fandom blog- probably. I may/may not be a Zygon duplicate. Rowling, Tolkien, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Hunger Games, Heroes of Olympus, Divergent, Maze Runner, Bake Off = Life.

Professor Binns is the real mvp. I can barely get out of bed most days to do any work. I certainly have no plans on rising from beyond the grave to do it.

Percy gives Nico "The Talk"

*Nico's Birthday*

Percy: Here, I bought you a gift.

Nico: Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

Nico: *opens gift*

Nico: What is this?

Percy: Sunscreen. I noticed Will and you spending a lot of time in your cabin. Someone needed to tell you to use protection.

Series 1 - The Parting of the Ways

RAVENCLAW: “I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday, and lessen the suffering of others. You’d be surprised how far that gets you.” -Neil DeGrasse Tyson

Right, that’s it. Well done, Kelvin. Get going. See you all in a couple of days. Thanks very much.

I need more of this kind of thing. "Class" will not seem right without her.

I’m glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things.

Huge Shoutout to Justin Finch-Fletchley

On the surface, there’s nothing remarkable about Justin’s introduction to the trio.

CS:

“Justin Finch-Fletchley,” he said brightly, shaking Harry by the hand.

 "Know who you are, of course, the famous Harry Potter… And you’re Hermione Granger — always top in everything" (Hermione beamed as she had her hand shaken too) “— and Ron Weasley. Wasn’t that your flying car?”  

Ron didn’t smile. The Howler was obviously still on his mind.  

“That Lockhart’s something, isn’t he?” said Justin happily as they began filling their plant pots with dragon dung compost. 

He walks up and introduces himself to each member of the the trio, and he has a little conversation starter for each of them. Then he moves onto a conversation about Lockhart, something all three members of the trio can weigh in on. It’s a perfectly polite and ordinary introduction.

But when I look back through the books, it’s hard to find a single other character that introduces themselves to the trio by introducing themselves to all three members of the trio.

Over and over, we see Ron and/or Hermione being ignored in favor of their famous friend. Fudge introduces Harry to his companions without a word to Ron and Hermione. Malfoy spares one scathing remark for Ron then tells Harry that he’ll help him avoid the “wrong sort” of families. Nearly Headless Nick is repeatedly annoyed with Ron for cutting into his conversation with Harry. Amos Diggory is introduced to the entire Weasley family and proceeds to launches into a speech about his son beat Harry at Quidditch. Slughorn can’t even remember Ron’s name. Even Hermione ignores Ron after Harry tells her his name on the Hogwarts Express. Ron and/or Hermione are overlooked so frequently that that reader ceases to notice.

So a huge huge shoutout to Justin Finch-Fletchley for being one of the characters (possibly the only character) to introduce himself to Harry, Ron, and Hermione by introducing himself to Harry, Ron, and Hermione. 

Bless your little well-bred heart, Justin Finch-Fletchley. You’re lovely.

THIS is what a Hufflepuff is.

I just rediscovered the fact that Draco used "Tarantallegra" on Harry at Duelling Club. I wonder where he learned that one from... I'm now accepting AVPS Lucius as canon by the way. 😉

A guy walks into a pub, and asks for a pint of Adenosinetriphosphate. The barman says "That'll be 80p then". This is mithril.

We know next to nothing about Newt Scamander and already he's one of my favourite characters in the wizarding world. I can't even explain it.

People wonder why Hermione was not sorted into Ravenclaw, but I think the Sorting Hat could see before Hermione even knew herself that she values bravery above intellect. "Books and cleverness? There are more important things- friendship and bravery."

Could people stop referring to "Warner Bros. Studio Tour London- The Making of Harry Potter" as "Harry Potter World", please? It's tacky, misleading and just generally stupid. Thank you, and congratulations. My appreciation of your existence has been renewed. 😇

What a different story this would be...
