that scene where grindelwald as graves is watching credence silently from across the street always gives me chills.

grindelwald as graves stalking and grooming a highly traumatised 25 year old credence for the sake of finding a child…

credence, who has only known the orphanage, who has been so institutionalised he has chosen not to leave for the outside world, being offered a way out that’s so tied to the manipulative and almost sexual implications. this is a version of love, this is the only version of love and affection he now knows, all to make him give up his sister to grindelwald. because grindelwald wants to own an obscurial for the sake of the prophecy. make it useful. grindelwald would happily possess any of them because it would be useful, and help him get to albus

he wants the wixen world to be free, for wix to stop hiding and build their own society, but from the beginning this is contingent on abuse. taking advantage of the abuse adult credence has faced. preparing to make the effects of abuse on the child he’s looking for useful. when it turns out credence is a rare adult obscurial, having survived past the age of ten to twenty-five or so, we see how quickly grindelwald continues grooming him. never knowing what he would have done if it had been modesty

This is his song/theme atp. Be it his ST, vampire ( @fangedmagick ), or his normal FB verse. I will not take criticism.

i was doing a lil bit of lore research and i suddenly realised i NEED an Aberforth Dumbledore adopting Harry as a grandson/son!!!!!!

I need Aberforth seeing Harry, realising smth was wrong with him ater his upbringing with the Dursleys, and then getting drawn along in Albus's manipulations.

I need Aberforth realising like he "failed" Credence, and here was another kid and like now wanting Harry to be drawn into everything as just a literal kid.

idk i think it would be cool for Aberforth to drag Harry off somewhere to relax and raise goats okay

Obscurus Question

Okay real talk guys why was Harry Potter not an Obscurial? He fits all of the boxes, he’s

Forced to repress his magic through physical AND psychological abuse (The Dursleys hated magic and wouldn’t talk about it, “THERES NO SUCH THING AS MAGIC”, they punished him by starving, isolating, and/or hurting him when he did any magic

He hurts other people with his accidental magic (setting a boa constrictor on the zoo, blowing up his Aunt). I can’t think of any other magic kid who did that, EXCEPT for Credence Barebone and Ariana Dumbledore, the most well documented Obscurials in the series, and Snape, whose a accidental magic seems like it wasn’t meant to actually kill anyone (he dropped a branch to hit Petunias shoulder), but idk. You really could kill someone by making them blow up or get but by a snake.

A key feature of the development of an Obscurus in a kid is feeling helpless against cruelty. Ariana was helpless when she was attacked by those Muggle boys, which led to the development of her obscurus, and Credence was helpless against his mother and the world to stop hurting him. Harry is helpless in almost every situation he’s in before the age of eleven, with the only exception I can think of being in outsmarting or running Dudley. But still, hes chased by Dudley’s gang so they can beat him up all the time, and that helplessness manifests in him accidentally apparating (seriously difficult magic) onto the roof! The Dursleys are cruel, and by the nature of being a child he’s with them, like, all the time, so he’s constantly helpless against cruelty.

His situation does not involve a kind/sympathetic person to help, not until Hogwarts. Not even Mrs. Figg, who doesn’t appear to talk to him or comfort him in any way even if she is watching over him. Credence and Ariana, on the other hand, both had a kind person. Credence’s was Tina, when she stepped in to help (I don’t know if he developed his Obscurus before or after that, though, so maybe he didn’t have anyone), and Ariana’s was Aberforth and Kendra. Harry doesn’t have anyone, not one person. In that way, he’s even more dangerous than the canon Obscurials.

He isn’t given any sign of what’s going on with him. Credence knows about magic a bit because of him being part of his mother’s witch hunting group— I’m not saying it’s healthy, but he does know about magic. Ariana knows plenty about magic, coming from a magical family in a magical town (Godric’s Hollow) with two older brothers at Hogwarts. Harry’s family won’t even discuss magic in jest, in the little ways that most Muggles do (it was like magic, the ‘magic word’ thing). This adds onto the helplessness, and multiplies the repression thing by like tenfold.

I don’t understand, by all means it seems to me like he should have been an Obscurial. Does anybody have any ideas of why he wasn’t, or if somehow he was this whole time? Am I missing something here? Maybe it’s just You-Know-Who’s worldbuilding holes striking again, but feels like it doesn’t match up.
