EVERYONE! I noticed something really cool on Bertie Carvel’s CV on his agent’s website:
SEASON 4 of Dalgliesh is happening! 👏👏👏
(S4 hasn’t been announced yet so it could get canceled but between this and that teaser by Channel 5 asking when does Dalgliesh come back, I’m very excited.)
fudge about lupin: is he a friend of yours?
snape: kind of? not really. he's in my life, and there's nothing i can do about it
also, do you remember when snape said he would watch sirius get kissed by a dementor and be completely unfazed? so, in the goblet of fire, snape and mcgonagall both witness barty crouch jr get kissed by cornelius fudge's dementor and mcgonagall is in hysterics.
but snape?
completely calm.
he wasn't kidding.
do they have therapists in the wizarding world?
Has anyone made a compilation of every moment that Harry had alluded to or outright stated that the Dursleys are bad/abusive and he wants to get away from them, only for the adult to 1. do nothing, 2. do nothing after Dumbledore says no, 3. just smile at Harry and not respond at all?
Full transcript (originally posted on our Bertie Reddit sub which y'all should join) of Bertie's take on Cornelius Fudge for the upcoming Harry Potter series.
I can’t stand Snape, but that moment at the end of The Goblet of Fire, when Dumbledore was trying to convince Fudge that Voldemort had returned and Snape showed his Dark Mark as proof, was magnificent.
also I have been mulling over a fanfic where, instead of umbridge - the senior undersecretary to the minister - is dada teacher, fudge instead chooses his junior assistant -
a.k.a. percy weasley.
percy has the grades, and he's under fudge's thumb as far as fudge is concerned.
percy: I will make sure that these children get at least one year of competent dada instruction to spite dumbledore or Merlin help me
as a teacher, I think percy would be similar to McGonagall - strict but fair.
he would submit his curriculum and be like: 'this complies with the exam expectations for dada owl and newt students'
fudge: why are there practical spells :/
percy: it would reflect on the ministry poorly if students couldn't competently complete the practical aspects of dada exams, sir
fudge: proceed :)
[that man has zero brain cells, istg]
of course, fudge (in his incompetence) aided by dumbledore pushing it off for longer than he should have (in his greater incompetence) only give percy one week notice.
and percy is like. ah shit this is going to be awkward teaching my siblings who hate me and I worked really hard for this job -
and then he sees the alternative is umbridge.
he takes the job.
he asks remus for his course notes because he was his only competent dada teacher.
fudge: what is this curriculum based off?
percy: a well-respected, established and experienced dada expert with prior teaching experience.
fudge: proceed :)
anyway chaos ensues.
One very interesting lady in my tiktok comments is trying to convince me that Bertie Carvel is not suitable for the role of Fudge, because Fudge is a "pale and empty character", and Carvel with his charisma will have nothing to do in this role
She also said that the role of Snape would be more suitable for him. I really wanted to say that Paapa Essiedu is already doing a great job in this role, but I realized that if I had to explain my point for the millionth time, I'd go crazy
