misconception; that harry's dumb/not clever
misconceptions. accepting – @badfaiiith
THIS IS MY LEAST FAVORITE MISCONCEPTION IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. IT’S SO WRONG, LEMME TELL YOU WHY!!! so yeah, harry isn’t always the best student as far as always wanting to get his homework done, go to class, excited about double potions, etc etc. but lemme stress this – that doesn’t equal being clever/not clever.
harry is extremely intuitive. he notices things others don’t and, when something is important to him, he sets his mind to it so much. think of draco malfoy during sixth year… like harry is the only one who really thinks draco is up to something and… hey, look at that, he’s right! he’s got these keen sense of knowing.
harry also has an open mind, which is something someone like hermione (brightest witch of their age!) struggles with. it’s mentioned several times, which is why spells like the patronus charm - which are all about feeling and emotion - are hard for her. that, by the way, it something grown ass wizards and witches have trouble with and little thirteen year old harry manages to cast a corporeal one. pretty impressive and not dumb at all!
anyway, harry’s open mind allows him to think outside the box. he grabs his broom during the first task of the triwizard tournament. he uses expelliarmus in the final battle because he knows he doesn’t have to use the killing curse. he believes in the deathly hallows when everyone else is like we need to focus on the horcruxes!
harry also knows the art of subtly to help him succeed. like this ability to bend things to get the results he needs. calling voldemort “tom” in the battle, pretending to put felix in ron’s pumpkin juice before the quidditch try outs, acting like runcorn in the ministry of magic to bellow out that the muggleborn’s blood is pure and letting them free. he has this sense of just understanding what needs to be done and small little ways to get it done. he doesn’t panic, even when he’s fucking scared (because he’s a teenager and he’s afraid throughout it all, but doesn’t let that control him).
he also knows he needs to sacrifice himself and does it willingly. he realizes the true meaning of the prophecy. that’s not exactly clever, but it’s accepting and incredibly brave.
i could go on and on… but, in the end, i’ll leave you with: harry potter has a lot of flaws. but being stupid isn’t one of them. books and cleverness! there are more important things - friendship and bravery! so, no, harry isn’t dumb. he’s not top of the class, but he doesn’t need to be. he shows his smarts in ways no one else in the series does.
Misconception: That Harry is cooler than Ron.

enough of an answer?
misconception meme: harry set nagini free at the zoo in the sorcerer's stone
misconceptions. accepting – @subtlesciences
i actually haven’t thought about this one very much tbh. mostly because there are a lot of !!! rumors and ideas. but, no, i don’t really think it was nagini. mostly because i don’t think it was supposed to be any more than just introducing harry to this new world he is going to be living in. it’s supposed to show us that -- yes, he’s special in a way he doesn’t understand yet. it introduces us to harry’s new talent. we learn it when he learns it. it’s not like he’s known this for years and it just comes out randomly in the text - no, we’re connected in that moment because it’s such a big thing for him. like what the fuck, how can this snake hear me?
so i don’t really think it was nagini. not to mention... but i have a feeling that nagini and the snake in the tank at the zoo were two completely different breeds. i mean, nagini can inhale a fucking person. that’s how giant that snake is.
i don’t really think it’s a horrible idea, though. like not something i’m completely against or anything. just not something i really believe myself.
send me a misconception you think people have about my character and I'll explain if it's true or not.
just wanted to give an update about my activity for the next few days - i’m running a garage sale friday/saturday and spending the next few days getting ready for it. i might be able to do some replies, but i likely won’t get much done until saturday night at the earliest. feel free to IM me or chat on discord or skype though!
harry potter meme - [2/9 relationships] - harry & ron ↳ “ He must have known I’d want to leave you. No, he must have known you would always want to come back.”
@sizeisnoguarantee
He’d desperately wanted to skiv off his morning class today, but he’d done so last week and that isn’t what college is all about. Or, at least, that’s what Hermione had said to him over the weekend when he’d been able to phone her and made the slip about him ditching his lecture. The fact of the matter is — he doesn’t know what interests him. Everything he’d ever done in Sixth Form was required — or pushed on him by the Dursleys. For the first time in his life, he’s making his own decisions and has the money to do it. Unfortunately, studies have never been on top of Harry’s to-do list despite going to school with Hermione, who’d insisted to her parents she go to public school in order to get the whole experience.
Still, he has only an hour before his next class and several chapters of his book to complete before then. So he’s not really watching what he’s doing as he skims ( it’s the best he’s going to do, sorry Hermione ) the pages, walking in the quad to find a tree to sit under while he waits for his class. Maybe it’s his fault, then, when something hard smacks against the side of his head, causing him to go sprawling. His glasses fly off his face, landing somewhere in the grass, as the black-and-white football comes to a stop by his feet. If he’d been watching, he’d have easily caught it. Instead, he finds himself on his knees, groping for the well-worn specs, his book and bag lying next to him.

“I’m taking Hermione’s corner if there’s a duel.”
Ron’s ‘oi,’ is barely registered as Ginny focused instead on the warmth from Harry’s hand on the small of her back. “You can man Ron’s.” The thought crossed her mind that she should focus less on Harry and more on breakfast when, as if on queue, her stomach growled. Normally she was not that hungry in the morning but considering she did not end up eating dinner the night before it was understandable.
With her right hand she stabbed at the eggs she had loaded on her plate while her left came to rest on his leg under the table. “So what’re your plans today Potter,” she asked, ignoring the scrutinizing look her brother lobbed across the table.
Harry smirks at her, his eyes brightening with a familiar sense of mischief. It’s so unreal, being with Ginny. Everything that he must do going out the window and leaving only things he wants to do. He knows now he’s the Chosen One — that it’s true he’s got to be the one to defeat Voldemort. But, right now, it’s just him and Ginny and he can spend a few hours tucked away in a quiet corner with her, not thinking about the rest. ❛ I think we could take you. ❜ And, honestly, they’re pretty evenly matched. The Department of Mysteries had shown that they’re all good duelers, when it came down to it.
A tingle runs up his leg deliciously at her touch and he all but forgets the food on his plate as he turns towards her slightly. He can feel Ron’s stare and, while he does care about what his best mate thinks, it doesn’t stop him from thinking exactly what he wants his plans to be today. It’s these moments he’s very glad Ron isn’t practiced in Occlumency. In fact, he’s glad Ginny isn’t either. She’d think he was a prat if she knew some of the things he’s thought about her. ❛ I’m thinking I could use the fresh air to finish my coursework. What about you? ❜ He hopes she understands he’s actually not thinking about doing coursework with her.
mionelovescrookshanks:
Hermione sat down across from Harry with her own cup of tea. He looked tired, and she’d known him long enough to know that him, up early on a saturday already reading over something meant it wasn’t simply a “quick glance”, it was something that had been keeping him up. She took a sip of her tea and glanced at the, now closed, stack of papers.
It wasn’t a secret that there were still Death Eaters out there, it was why Harry and Ron had been accepted into the Auror Program early. But they’d been laying low ever since the war ended. It was the main cause of her worry for both of them, any Death Eater still out there would be thrilled to have a chance at Harry Potter or Ron Weasley. She herself was safely tucked away in the Department for regulation and control of magical creatures.
But right now, his restless nights were her main concern, that was an easy fix.
“Ron has some tea that will help you sleep, he made us some last night, says he got it from one of your coworkers, I’m sure he’ll let you have some tonight if you ask.”
Harry’s eyes linger on the closed files, wanting to open them up again. But he knows he has to pull back sometimes. Ginny mentioned it to him a few weeks ago — how he’d been allowing little time for much else. He has to do better for her. Be better for her. And, even though they aren’t really together, he looks at her and knows that the feelings are still there.
When Hermione mentions the tea, Harry’s gaze snaps back up to her. He knows what she’s talking about — the tea, mixed with a mild sleeping draught. He’s taken it before, when he really couldn’t get to sleep. But he doesn’t like the side effects in the morning. The feeling of grogginess, of not being on his game. He wouldn’t be able to rouse himself from sleep the way he can normally if there’s an emergency. He usually only takes it when he’s forced to.
❛ I don’t need any tea, Hermione. I’m fine. ❜ And, for the most part, he is. He’s just been a bit… overworking himself lately. ❛ You’re coming to the shop with us today, right? ❜ He says it mostly to change the subject. Knows that everyone plans on going to George’s shop today, as he opens a new line of witch-related products.
mlfoi:
THEIR SCHOOLYARD RIVALRY AND ANIMOSITY had mostly died; right around the time that the chosen one was heroically hunting horcruxes to bring about voldemort’s overdue death, and the malfoy heir was doing things he hated himself for in an attempt to save his parents’ necks. it was a bit sad, really, as draco was always BURNING with jealousy over the things harry never even did intentionally – and some envy was laying dormant inside draco even now. but draco was always the bad side of the coin. still, potter’s presence was expected sooner of later – part of his family’s deal. resent his father he might, but draco didn’t want him or his mother going back to azkaban.
“ you want me to WHAT? ” he asked, a frown easily finding its way on his features – not that he didn’t hear the other, but it was more of an invitation to further elaborate his words rather than repeat them. / @sacrificeborn
There’s still some annoyance on Harry’s part whenever he thinks about Draco Malfoy or, worse, when they’re forced to work together. Allowing the aurors to call on the Malfoys for dark magic guidance had been part of the deal after the war when they’d all gone to trial. Even two years after the battle, Harry can’t really say he’s ecstatic whenever he knows Draco will be around, but he also doesn’t hold the same hatred for him as he did in school. Every time he thinks about the fact that Malfoy had tried to hand him over to Voldemort — not just once — and his blood starts to boil, he thinks about the tower. The second where Draco had dropped his wand, away from Dumbledore. Harry knows that his schoolmate is less of a killer than many people believe.
He stares calmly at Malfoy, standing at full height and crossing his arms. Brows raise slightly at the indignation. ❛ Your uncle is in London. I want you to contact him. ❜ Rodolphus Lestrange has been sighted in the country for the first time since the war. He’s the Death Eater highest on Harry’s list. The one that he envisions catching, over and over again. Harry will never be able to let go of the war fully until they’re all in Azkaban. ❛ He’ll need resources, Malfoy. If you can convince him you’re still on his side, then we’ve got him. You do want him locked up, don’t you? I’d hate to think what he’d do if he was still on the loose and he found out you’ve been helping us. ❜ Okay, maybe the threat wasn’t necessary, but Harry doesn’t regret it.
batsbogey:
“ Hey. ” The soft greeting is echoed back and despite her annoyance, she feels a great pang of affection for the man already reaching for her. A sigh escapes Ginny’s lips as he rubs just the right spot at the back of her neck that makes her whole body tingle, eyes fluttering shut just momentarily remembering why exactly she had made the trek over despite a shower and a warm meal made by her mother waiting for her back at the Burrow.
“ I’m not sure I’ll even be able to move again never mind fly if Gwenog keeps at it. I think my entire body is bruised with how many times I fell to the mats today. ” She rolls big brown eyes, despite the fact that it was probably the most brilliant thing ever to be able to call Gwenog Jones her captain. Not to mention Harry’s pulling her closer, and despite her need to shower and the fact that was in sweats, Ginny climbs onto the couch as well, curling up with him as her chin rests on his chest. They’re close enough that she could count his eyelashes if she wished.
“ I figured as much, seeing as it looks like you just had a date with Dolohov. ” Her voice is knowing, maybe a little SOUR, considering the man had murdered her maternal uncles.
His instant feeling to hearing she’s sore is a shred of annoyance at Gweong Jones for pushing her. But it moves from him fairly quickly. Because he’s not the one that sets Ginny’s limits. She does it herself and Harry just has to trust her. They both push themselves in their careers — her drive, her fearlessness — it’s what attracted him in the first place.
❛ Torsion catch again? ❜ It’s the move she’s been practicing all week, frustrating herself that it’s something she can’t instantly pick up. He smiles lightly at her as she moves to the couch with him, pressing back against the cushions to give her more room, arm immediately snaking its way around her waist. They’re close and it’s almost as much of a miracle that she’s picked him as it is that he even survived the war. He leans in to kiss her, not able to resist when her lips are only a fraction from his, when she makes the comment about Dolohov.
He should’ve known she wouldn’t be super happy about seeing him like this on his day off, but he can’t help it. And her bringing up his works causes his mind to race again. ❛ I have to find him, Ginny. Did you know that two muggle families have gone missing since he was spotted? I think he’s squatting at their houses, like Slughorn did when Dumbledore and I went looking for him. ❜ He sits up, untangling himself from her, and leans forward to grab his glasses and a stack of parchment. ❛ Look at this, ❜ he says, pushing the glasses back onto his face. ❛ One family was in Essex but, when we went looking, he was gone. There were traces of magic, though. I think he’s staying near London, waiting for something. I think they’re going to meet up — some of the ones that escaped. I don’t know how they’re communicating but, if we could do it with the coins, why can’t the Death Eaters figure something out? Lestrange will be spotted soon. I just know it. ❜
@sempertenebris replied to your post: harry: albus severus - me: *cringes*
( bad name choice, man… bad name choice. )
not just albus either. i don’t like that harry’s basically making them live up to these names of people he looks up to when, all his life, he’s had to live up to a name. i really needa write meta on this.
harry: albus severus -
me: *cringes*
i’m reading the battle of hogwarts and harry is overwhelmed at how many people love him. i mean, he’s supposedly dead on the ground and freaking voldemort, one of the most powerful wizards of all time, casts a silencing charm on everyone and here comes ron weasley, breaking the charm for harry. and then freaking neville comes charging at voldemort. i love them all so much.
