Marauders era fancast
Ravenclaw Edition
- Surname between () means its their Husbands surname.
- If between** means its not a canon name/surname
Pandora Lovegood & Xenophilius Lovegood
Fc: Elle Fanning and Kathryn Newton for Panda, Harry for Xeno.
- Regardless of wheter you think Panda is a light blonde or a dirty blonde you have both version in both fancast. Also, regardless of wheter you think she's a rosier, a malfoy, a lestrange, an ollivander, a muggleborn, a pureblood, a halfblood, you can agree, she is a lovegood. Same with her husband.
- i prefer Elle Fanning is she's a Malfoy or a Rosier and Kathryn if she's an Ollivander, a halfblood or a muggleborn. I dont really enjoy Lestrange Panda as much as the others (and in truth, i only tolerate Rosier Panda cuz Elle Fanning Panda and Lucas Lynggaard Tønnesen Evans is a damn good casting).
- Panda is not a Luna copy, put some respect on that mad cientist woman name and respect her fathers whimsy. If one of the two was going to be a cassandra nightmare procecies ridden it would be Xeno. Panda would be the one to hear them and record them. But no, Xeno is far far away from being a prophetress maiden with tears on his lashes and long shiny hair. No, that position is already filled by Panda's roomate (OMG THEY WERE ROOMMATES) Sybill Trelawney. Talk about the devil and she shall appear:
Sybill Trelawney & Greta Catchlove
Fc: Sammi Hanratty and Juno Temple for Sybill and Isla Fished for Greta.
- Sybill got left in the altar by her long term *cheating* boyfriend Jonathan Higglebottom. Only she would manage to not only get in love but also LEFT and cheated on by a man with the last name HIGGLEBOTTOM. He claims it was bcs she refused to change her last name (her millenary legacy btw) but that's just an excuse (although it did bother him), he was mostly scared at first that she was crazy when she started to get more heavy talking about prophecies and when he saw "shit, she's an actual prophet" he got even more scared, specially bcs she got targeted by the death eaters (not that they ever managed to tell voldy the prophet was SYBILL, they just got tasked with finding the prophet and got killed before managing to do or say anything.
- He "escaped" Sybill with the help of a close female friend, whether he actually cheated or it was another lie is supposed to be vague on purpose, you never know wheter he actually did it or not to add to the injury. He did love Sybill though and also had a crush on his friend at the same time, and if not for her (and him) being targeted personally by the DE, even if still in war, he would have married her and taken her name, yes, he got upset, yes, they had bad fights, yes, he said stuff he shouldnt have but in the end he would have PROPERLY apologized and would have long happy marriage.
Aurora Sinistra & Concordia Rowle
Fc: Lovie Simone & Jodie Turner-Smith for Aurora, Kaitlyn Dever, Bella Ramsey & Zoey Deutch for Rowle
- Both Hogwarts profesors at last. Concordia is from Harry Potter: Magic Awakened and in the official wiki says: "Concordia was born into the Rowle family before or during the 20th century" so i added her.
- there is also other Rowles but i imagine all of them being cousins rather than siblings. Funny how Concordia is a Ravenclaw and yet the founders namesake, Rowena Rowle is not.
Bertham Aubrey & Gilderoy Lockhart
Fc: Brian Lackey from Mysterious Skin (2004) & Leo Woodall in One Day as Dexter Mayhew for Lockhart.
- ik canonically Lockfart is 2 years younger and the same year as Barty Crouch Jr. but since most people make him the same age (or just a prodigy that skipped years) i thought it would be funny to do the same with Lockedfart who's just bullshitting his way through life and has no fucking idea how exactly he managed to skip TWO YEARS of his education par on with fucking Crouch prodigy that has 12 OWLs on his sleeve by graduation (a feat only Voldy & Hermione have done aside from him i think).
- Barty found it funny at first when he kept acing the test considering he's just a fraud but when the veredict was dome that they both would be transfered to an higher class he started panicking, bcs wdym the court jester actually made it? WDYM. Hates Lochness now. Who thrives with his little comments by making him appear as just a jealous little guy. Barty officially became the Lex Luthor to Gilded Locks fake ass fraud superman's self and everyone just eats it up. Those who dont just enjoy seeing Barty get a lick of his own mediciny comsjdering he annoys everyone
Barty:
Dedalus Diggle & Benjamin Fenwick
Fc: Kit Young, Jeremy Allen Lip & Gene Wilder fof Diggle & Xoli Mariduena for Benjy
- i was tempted to put tomato chamey as diggle for giggles and shit but i resisted. Ive also seen Dylan O'brien as him but as much as Kit Young and the other actors have their charm i am not thinking "wow Dylan O'brien" everytime i think of the character. I think that Dedalus is a mix of Willy Wonka & The mad hatter but there was not way i was putting Johnny Deep in here.
Wendy Slinkhard & Primrose (Jorkins)
Fc: Eleanor Tomlinsom, Ciara Baxendale, Emma Stone for Wendy. Madeline Cline & Willow Shields for Primrose.
- Since Eleanor is also a Lily Fancast & Ciara is also the fancast for another character i decided to add Emma Stone, who usually i feel has a face too modern but honestly after seeing her pictures for hours i think it works its just the styling thats usually more modern. Same for Madeline. I was there for when she was in stranger things and i think it can work, i added Willow from the hunger games cuz i coudnt resist.
Davey Gudgeon & M. Mina
Fc: Evan Mitchells for Davey & Minnie Mills
- This Miraphora is the wizarding duellist & ministry Runes & Symbols employee, the namesake is the gryffindor student. The namesake has a sister named Ruth.
- I know i added Minnie Mills as one of the Emmeline Vance fancast but i also said it was only so the people who see the post know other fancast. To me, Minnie Mills has never been Emmeline.
- And yes, that is the Devil from The Bible™ *cough cough* i mean, Aemond from hotd. Love Evans though, great actor, truly made me hate the character when i love him in other stuff. And yea, he looks 35 for a teenager, im trying my best, the only character witj a scar close to the eye that was not freaking Tony Montana or Nick Fury or a freaking Bond Villain was the mister mogger3000 from mixte. Im TRYING (and failing) to not fill the class with supermodels
- In my mind his hair is dark blonde but the stress from the treatment & healing + the big ass scare and seeing the scarring made him go grey (or rather, silver), early, it pretty much happened very fast cuz magic accelerated the process, probs also has a some bald spots. Didnt lose his eye but his sight was very damaged only sees shapes and colours, prefers using a patch. The accident happened around 4-5th year to me. Not too old but also not in 1 or 2 year cuz that would be to young, they are just knowing each other amd its horrible seeing a child so young go through that but people woukd have morr time to get accustomed to it bcs they barely saw him before, its more of a shock if they knew him normally for a few years before the almost death/losing an eye. People would also be harsher cuz he's more of a "young man" than a young child in their eyes and he "shouldve known betten and tought it up bcs he didnt actually lose his eye or his life"
- i like to think it was one of the marauders who saved his life, either Sirius or Remus himself, prolly both. Bcs of it was James or Peter, remus would have mentioned it at the time, James & Peter were considered self sacrificing heros, but his "dad's killer"? No way he's telling Harry, and not to mention himself, remus would never. After it was just not worth mentioning.
- And yes, Leo Ashton for a Younger Davey cuz mutherfucker Mitchells looks thirty five. They even share the same fuck ass dirty blonde bowl cut on some pics 🥲 it makes me sentimental
Kim Jena [Ye-Na] (Ms. Chang) & Lilith Molesby
Fc: Yerin Ha & Britt Robertson
- Bringing the big old guns for Lilith's face claim
- Tecnically her name is Ye-Na but since the pronunciation is pretty similar it gets translated into the "Je" sound, Cho is also often romanized as Jo so she gets called K.J by in the sport scene, bcs she's a quidditch girl, uh-huh. She's a Beater.
- She is inspired by Choi Yena from Iz*One may one of the best 4th gen girl group rest in peace, we will forever miss your bangers. She is also inspired by the character "I-Na/E-Na" from Nine Puzzles the kdrama, its super good, if you like detective stories and sherlock-watson dynamics, its a mystery crime thriller. It follows Yoon Ina whos a criminal profiler for the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's criminal analysis team who gets acussed of being a serial killer. Ina is portrayed by the incredible Kim Da-Mi who's known for Itaweon Class (Drama) and The Witch Pt.1 & Pt.2 (action/horror), another great medie.
- Her name, Kim E-Na is a tribute to the character, Yena's name and Kim Dami's surname while also being the older sister to Kim Jae from the games, and daughter of inmigrants.
- KJ is the type to be the sweetest pie to her close friends (all of her friends are close friends, she does not do casual, not in frienship not in romance, what normally would be considered an aquantaince is just a stranger she has to be polite with) and really serious with everyone else, she cannot be cracked with bad jokes, not even the marauders managed it, only her husband. This does not mean she is a "biach" like most would say, ppl simply like to say that about her because she does not bow to the custom that women have to bent over backwards and be always the smiling perfect maid. She is perfectly polite and nothing more.
- You see that little face? Yeah, she's a beast in quidditch, people genuienly almost shit their pants when she looks at them with that cutie cockatiel face.
- Played after graduation for a few years in minor leagues but retired pretty soon cuz although she loves it, it wasnt her true passion. She just had an obsession for a while. Loves training other people though, and she's very good at it.
Older Ravenclaws
- Millicent was in her 7th hear when the marauders where in their 1st year (she cant be their age or she woukd have been elected for minister as soon as she was out of hogwart, no amount of glaze to ravenclaw will make me do that in my hc)
- Septima Vector & Bathsheda Babbling were 2 years older than the marauders & had a rivalry going on in my hc.
- Irma Pince had just graduated before the marauders started. Becomes the librarian apprendice right after graduation (she was already learning when she wss in hogwarts) & replaces the old librarian in the marauders 4th year. Just before they become animsgus, it was a very stressful year for Irma.
Notes
*(Hc unless stated its canon)
- Primrose married into the Jorkins family to Albert Jorkins (canon). Said Albert is Bertha's older brother, Stamford is their daddy, who btw is pretty similar to Stan from Gravity falls. He's just bullshittimg his way through life and honestly? Slay
- Mr. Chang is CHINESE, ok? Ms. Chang is Korean. She & her husband liked the name Qiu for their child and Mr. Chang though the similarities to "cho" was funny. He likes really bad jokes, Ms. Chang was not very amused but in the end she liked the meaning of the name so it stayed.
Marauders Era Fancast Hufflepuff Edition
I cannot believe that there isn't a yellow Option for colors 😞
I was going to do Ravenclaw first but then I realized that I have more Hufflepuffs first!
EDIT: I just realized i put Mary Elizabeth Cattlemore as a Hufflepuff rather than a Ravenclaw 🫠🫠
Anyways, it shall stay that way for now, maune ill edit it in the future.
Anything between ** means it's not canon, whether its just the last name or just the first name.
Hestia Jones, Amelia Bones & Edgar Bones
Fc: Lucy Hale, Anna Kendrick, Shane Harper.
- yes, that is the dude from Good luck Charlie... It came to me while watching a short in TikTok of that episode where Teddy discovers he is cheating on her with Skyler.
Doris Purrkiss & Sturgis Podmore
Fc: Abigail Breslin & Louis Hoffman
- This but imagine Doris has lighter hair, kinda like in little miss sunshine but a little more reddish and straight. The girls are something she only decides when there's little time left until graduation. Her hair is kinda not quite red/ginger and not kide dirty blonde, so moths of the time it ends up looking like light brown.
Daisy Hookum & Tilden Toots
1. I added other fan cast outside of Karen cuz ik she is a famous Lily Evans fc & MEW is also one of my Mary Cattlemore fc, also because I mostly see Daisy as a mix of those three rather than just one. fc: Karen Gillan, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Leslie Rose. And, Yes, that is the dude from Dead poets society, Josh Charles.
2. Fun fact: I picture older Daisy Hookum looking s lot like Hurrem 😞. Just imagine the FC hair is a little lighter
Reginald "Reg" Cattermole & Charity Burbage
Fc: Simon Woods (Mr. Bingley ❤️), both Zoe Colleti & Kristine Froseth for Charity.
Ludo Bagman & Otto Bagman
Fc: Edvin Ryding & Bob Reynolds
- yes, I am aware bob looks older.
Adrian Carpenter & Olivia Gleaves
Fc: Austin Butler & Ruby Stokes
Piper Pepperdine & Quirinus Quirrell
Fc: Luna Steeple & Sophia Wylie, Alex Lawther & Angus Imrie
Jonathan Higglebottom & Florence *Taylor*
Fc: Miles Teller & Florence Pugh
Ludovic Stebbins & Mary Elizabeth (Cattlemore)
Fc: James Spader & Anamaria Vartolomei
- I did not include Mary Elizabeth Winstead bcs I already mentioned that she's one of my Mary Cattlemore Fancast.
- I also picture the model Jackie Maginnis when I think of Mary Cattlemore.
Older ppl in Hufflepuff
Mundungus Fletcher, Ted Tonks & Jordana Bodiment
Fc: Seth Green, James McAvoy, Rachel Redford.
- Ted is the same graduation class as Andromeda
- Mundungus Fletcher was in the same graduation class as Narcissa
- Jordana was in her 3th year when the marauders were in their 1st year
Marauders era fancast Gryffindor Edition
Alice Fortescue
Face Claims: Carey Mulligan
I see her as having blonde short hair in once she is in the order!! Her long hair is only for Hogwarts. And she would have cut her hair a few months after graduation. I think the girl from Furiosa would make a good young Alice (or Tonk now that I think about it)
Frank Longbottom
Face claim: Jim Sturgess
Nothing to say here, he just looks like a Frank.
Fabian Prewett
Face Claim: Sam Heughan, Taylor Hanson.
Now this is a controversial choice because he's also one of the fancast I put forward for Lily Evans father, however I just like it for both. I do think that he fits more Fabian Prewett to me. A ver this is an easy fix for those who want them to look different, I have other fan at for both, you can see Lily's father other fancast in my The Evans Family Posts and for Fabian I've also seen Ruairi O'Connor and I think it's a good fit.
Gideon Prewett
Face Claim: Linus Wondemann, Taylor Hanson.
I like to think that these two looked alike more when they were younger and they started to look more different as they aged but still look similar. This is why both share the last fancast
Molly Prewett
Face claim: Emerald Fennel
I also seen people put Karen Gillian forward as a fan cast for Molly and personally she gives me more Lily Evans Vibes she'll always be Lily Evans to me first, however I do think that she would fit as an even younger version of this Fan cast.
Arthur Weasley
Face Claim: Caleb Landry Jones
Imagine my shocking horror when I realized that my Gideon and Arthur where the same fucking person...
Yea. The same one, bcs i realized that both Arthur and Linus have sight butt chin and I thought "Destiny!" until I realized the horror.
Nevermind that, Linus is also my Percy W. Fancast... And I wanted to make Percy the one that looks more like his dad. But alas, as much as Molly has Black Blood in her veins I do not want to think of her choosing a man that looks exactly like her brother as the father of her seven children. In the end, I settled for Caleb who is also my Ron fancast, daddy and father looking like twins, at least Harry can share that with his friend.
And onto the Actual Marauders!
James Potter
Face Claims: Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Nick Green, Suraj Sharma.
The first fancast comes to my mind when I think of James is definitely Aaron, at least for Movie James. But I do also really like the indian and latino James so here you have it. Also, I've had some really conflicting feeling towards Aaron lately after I was told what he did to Sandra Echeverría as a "prank" with one of his co-workers a few years ago, which unfortunately, is somewhat in character but still gives me a horrible visceral feeling ma disgust whenever I'm reminded of it (meaning: whenever I see him), he still has a handsome face (in movies like Nowhere boy or Anna Katerina, bcs every time I see him in more recent pics he looks like that painting of a very inbred man, idk why, must be the rose tinted glasses I still have somewhat).
Sirius Black
Face claims: Louis Partridge, Lee Williams, Ben Barnes, Louis Saffron.
Now, there a hundred million fancast more accurate out there, but for me, the only one that comes close to "having the vibe" is Ben Barnes, I'm sorry. Ben Barnes has beautiful big brown eyes that are NEVER going to be Sirius silver gray (this actually corrected into "gay" when I was writing this LMAO DONT CLOCK HIM LIKE THAT ) ones. Also, he's way tanner. Sirius is supposed to burn in the sun almost vampiric pale (I think). But still. That's the closest I believe. There are a few other fancast that I like but I just don't think that their face is the right amount of Siriusness...
The only other fantastic that I think fit are Louis P. and Lee, like come on and just look at him or one of those photos with him on a leather jacket and there you have Sirius. It's a mix of them to me. Also I don't particularly see Louis S. as Sirius and I actually don't like that Fancast too much but I do see a faint resemblance between him and the other Louis, so if I had the necessary drawing skills I would definitely try to make a fanart that is a mix of those.
Remus Lupin
Face claims: Charlie Rowe, David Thewlis.
I do not know who the last guy is, sorry. I just found him when I was looking through Pinterest fan arts and fancast of Remus and thought he was a great fit. The first fancast is only for 1 and 2st year Remus to me, maybe even 3 if you stretch it. However I don't see him as an older Remus. Also, I just have to mention that whenever I picture Remus in my mind I think of there three mixed with Andrew Garfield (but not him on Spider man, I think he looks to happy in that movie to be Remus, even a young one, Remus can be happy but he has a perpetual sad look on his eyes to me, and also he should be a little more awkward think Tick Tick Boom —which btw I think it's perfect Remus x Mary rekindling their hogwarts fling for only a little while until they realize that it'll never work— or other of his works).
Peter Pettigrew
Face claims: Blake Cooper, Cooper Hoffman, Jeremy Dozier, Lewis Capadi.
Blake Cooper is young petter to me, just give him a blonde wig. As for the other three, I don't think I can choose bcs they all have a certain feature that make me think "Peter" whenever I see them, I like all three of them for Peter.
Any recs for a Kingsley shacklebolt fancast?? I can't seem to find anyone that has his very unique swag 😞
Mary McDonald and Mary Cattermole are NAWT the same person to ME!
Gryffindor Girls: The Runaways Fancast
Also called, nowhere girls.
I have them my own name cuz I didn't like Valkyries, sorry, I just don't think they would call themselves that and also I just didn't like the name for them, but the runaways fits with the facts that it's the 70's and they are rebellious promising muggleborn / halfblood teenage girls, sue me.
I also fits to bcs to me the girls didn't become actually close in until their fourth and fifth year. Before that they had very on an off friendship, like a toxic boyfriend that keeps coming back worse that cat pee smell. And Lily kept isolating herself and making herself not very nice to be around by making excuses and hanging out with basically only Severus.
I will not include Alice bcs like a said in another post, I think she's not part of the group but more like individually friends with the girls, also, she's older and probably graduated / about to when they are in the 4-5th year. I will not include Pandora because to me they do not know each other more than in passing, except for Dorcas, she is friends with Dorcas, and knows Emmeline, cause, duh, they're in the same house, probably same dorm. But not close. Hermione & Lavender typa relationship (without a ron bcs Emmeline is NAWT interested in Panda's magic weed reeking boyfriend)
So, the girls are: Lily Evans, Marlene McKinnon, Mary McDonald, Dorcas Meadows & Emmeline Vance.
Originally I was going to include one of my oc who in my hp word is the fifth Gryffindor roommate who's Frank little sister who died in pretty early on the FWW, but I thought it was better to only include canon character (even if we barely know anything about them) & also, she is not even that close to them lol, it's a bit of a Marauders + Kingsley minding his own business kind of relationship, so here we are.
Each one of the girls are running away and most importantly to something.
Lily Evans (yes, it was hard to choose from the many great fancast but I love me a good AnnaLily :)
What if I say she is autistic and her special interest are 1. Magic in general, 2. Charms, 3. Potions. Hates and loves transfiguration at the same time. Is genuinely impressed and irked that James is so good at it. He thought it was because Lily couldn't possibly fathom anyone being better at something than her, never mind him but then realized she was just genuinely impressed with his sharp wit and transfiguration talents a long with his potions knowledge from his da. They had a lot of screaming matches, pranks, tears, apologies (half hearted and true ones), scoldings from McGonagall and detentions (Lily is supervising, no way she got more than one (1) detention in her record, and even that is stretching it) before they saw each other truly without anyone else in the way. No Severus, no Sirius, not any friends or old grudges and past impressions clouding the person before them.
Fancast: Sophie Skelton, Annalise Basso, Laura Berlin.
- Hates quidditch as far as James is aware. Actually just doesn't care much for this sport, think muggle sports are better but everyone think she just dislikes sport. Mind you she was the only girl in her soccer team in primary school, she kicked ass. But if you ask her she will tell you about the one ™ knee injury.
- Loves flying on the other hand, drives James mad. OG ragebaiter, makes him rant for hours about how could someone so talented for seeker could be so bullheaded and shortsighted and boring. Lily finds his dispair the joy in her life.
- Eats white chocolate only. Hates any other kind.
- Petunia used to make her pancakes on special occasions only, like birthdays or when she was feeling down. Loves and hates her comfort food, makes her cry but also happy.
- Cried for her sister a lot specially during her first 4 years at Hogwarts, each year added more reasons to what used to be simple homesickness, childish pettiness and jealousy.
- Pretends to be the magical fairy godmother to her friends when they are feeling down, only Mary gets it (at least until Marlene saw the movies and boasted about it to the others who couldn't understand the reference that she was built different, and that they just didn't get it).
- Had a magical rat pet for a week until it disappeared. Will not admit that she cried a little bit after. Her Cinderella moment gone. Guess who it was and who choked the life out of poor peter.
- Will not listen to anyone about stop making notes for Remus when he is sick. Even when his excuses are extremely poor. Took her an embarassing long time to actually believe he wasn't just sick. Smart but was pretty naive for someone very smart, genuinely believed what Remus told her (even if she was skeptical of anything that came out his friends mouths).
- Had practically no friends on her house. Bit of Harry Situation, everyone flocked to the smart beauty one second and then avoided her the other. They found the most ridiculous ways to turn on her for the smallest mistakes or just over a whole load of nothing. Stopped caring after fifth year when she finally had a group of friends that had her back like Ron and Hermione had Harry's.
- Bit of a people pleaser. Very strange, will not care anything but her own bullheaded single mindness one second and then start looking around for answer on the other. Very confident but also insecure? And on the weirdest of things (on everyone else perspective)
- Goody two shoes who's a troublemakers rule-breaker, walking riddle.
- Drives everyone mad, Sirius, Remus, Emmeline, Dorcas, Marlene, Mary but especially James.
- You either love or hate her, most love her, she's a very difficult person to hate. Feel annoyed at? Very easy. Dislike? Pretty common. But hate? Genuinely impossible unless you are the devil™.
- She's like that annoying younger sister that you dislike as you grow apart but will never stop loving (yes petunia I'm looking at you)
Marlene McKinnon
I wanted to include at least 2 of each Marlene Fancast, one with blonde hair and one as a brunette. I love hair turning darker and duller as a metaphor for loosing yourself, which is funny because I love brunette/dark hair. But the point for the characters that have this going on (Lily's da, Petunia, Marlene, and some others Im still not sure about) is that this is not who they are, even Marlene, who was always a brunette in my head and not a blonde hair turned darker, is more like true self when her hair is lighter. But while for petunia and Mr. Evans their hair darkening is about losing their whimsy, true aspirations or dream, the magic of childhood if you will, with it them losing the gold parts of themselves and leaving only the boring, nice but not good or just outright horrible part of themselves, Marlene's change was about pretending to be something, someone she was not and in admist wearing and tinkering with this mask, this armor if you will (I love Knight-Marlene), she unexpectedly found true raw parts of herself that she could show anyone before the 'mask' and so she need to lose herself all over again (going brunette) and learning to find herself in this past too, or at least find something worth loving even if she is not longer that (or discovered she never was on the first place) to be able to truly live with her self, free of limitations, masks and the dilemma of "who is the true me?" The answer is somewhere in between.
Usually Marlene's fate in my AU's depends on whether she can make this change, by embracing the old parts of herself that she hated, hid and was repulsed by while still rejecting the conformity, norms and limitations that come with this past. If she can do it, then she lives and sometimes, maybe she can even save her family. If not, well, bye bye Marlene. We never truly knew you.
All the other girls go true a similar journey and I think that the only ones that survive both in canon and in most of my au's are Emmeline and Mary.
Her and Mary are the closest of the girls for a very long time, they were the toxic couple before the group became one, they bonded over similar interests, make up, clothes boys, their love and problems with their family, their difficulties learning and keeping up with the rest, especially their exasperation, annoyance and at first, bregruding affection for Lily, whom they thought was uppity, with a stick up her ass, and looking down on them for being not as smart as her. Until they actually had proper conversations that did not involve Severus (the actual stick up their asses) and yelling.
Fancast: Sophie Thatcher, Lily James, Alicia Vikander.
- Middle siblings of a big family. First girl after 3 sons. Loves her family to death but also feels suffocated by them. Like they will never let her be her own person. She will always be what they want her to be.
- Her family follows a magical brach of Christianity. You would be surprised at how common it is, especially in halfblood families.
- Middle Class, they used to be upper middle class but during whole deal with Grindelwald they kinda got on a debt and they payed but haven't recovered yet. Her mother married up into the family and wants the same for all of her children, specially the girls. Pushes them to the ministry, to the blind dates with boy. Is sometimes too bold and not political savvy enough and has been made a mockery by others. Marlene hates it but also cannot stop being boy centered and chase after them and validation which is kinda the only way to get validation from her mother.
- Her da means we'll and loves her but is also a bit of a pushover. Being the second son and not the heir to the McKinnons, never had to worry about it that much. They do not live at the mercy of their uncle per se but also they kinda do. Not entirely, but he helps them. A lot.
- Is a Chaser in the Gryffindor team. Actually wanted to be a beater. They didn't accept her cuz they thought the first time that she was doing it only because Sirius as reserve at that point. Which, rude. That's was in third year, grow up.
- Will get that Beater position. Even if she has to put someone in the infirmary for year to get her way. For the sake of not going to Azkaban this is a joke.
- Big Quidditch rivalry with Dorcas, toned down a bit after started being in the same friend group but the tension were still very high. Became only a bit better after they became "friend' (nobody actually knows what the fuck is going on, not even them, Merlin save these girls)
- Hops from one life destroying homoerotic friendship to another like it's her life mission. GIRL. CHILL OUT. You fon ot need to prove you loyalty and utter devotioness at your super smart friends by kneeling in form of them and swearing an oath of loyalty like a knight. NO. BAD MARLENE. THAT WAS NOT AN IDEA.
- Would probably do the 10 things I hate about you/Descendants songs in the middle of the whole school thing. If she was out. Would probably still do it and then realized that it was not as platonic and she thought it was in her head and then pretend it was for Sirius in embarrassment for three whole months until everyone forgets about it when James (bless his soul and curse him) one ups her doing the same for Lily after they became somewhat okay at not going after each other's throats (spoilers, it didn't work, Lily though he did it as a prank but in the end she didn't kill him)
- Had a magical makeup artist phase where she would just, make art on someone's face. Super talented. Got talked down of it by everyone who thought it was stupid and too girly and wouldn't make money during her whole third year, finally quit in November of 4th year. One of the few things that made her feel feminine and it didn't feel forced :/ nobody took it seriously bcs of her constant hobby jumping. During 7th years the girls realized that it was actually serious and felt really bad. Started paying Marlene to to their make up professionally which she didn't understand cuz she wasn't a professional but whatever, cash is cash, right?
- It took moths of coaxing and convincing but she got one of her passions back. With the support of her friends this time. Is not her full time job of course but it's nice to have it back.
- Likes singing out loud, not super good voice but also not bad, just does it to enjoy the song better.
Mary McDonald
Same as the other girls, Mary's dilemma is that of belonging or more like never truly doing so. For the muggles, she is a black woman, which comes with its own set of prejudices and troubles along with culture and the feeling of wanting to belong to it rather than be in the outskirts of it by being the daughter of an immigrant and never having set a foot or knowing much not even the language of her bloodline. While in the wizarding world, she is muggleborn, basically a muggle, since despite being brilliant, she struggled with studies for most of her time on Hogwarts and merely pretended to not care and that this was on purpose cause she cared more about boys or parties. Because it was better than being seen as a gossip boy-crazy party-loving dimwit that didn't care about school and barely passed because of it, than admiting that no matter how much she studied, how much she tried, she was always behind others. At least that way she had control. Control of being sent as dim only because she did not care rather than because she could not be better despite trying so hard.
Having dyslexia in the 70's is not for the weak. Never mind all of her other personal issues.
Fancasts: Sophia Bryant, Taylor Russell, Alexandra Shipp.
Dorcas Meadows
Fancast: Sophie okonedo, Savannah Lee Smith, Precious Mustapha.
The fancast are a few shades lighter than what I imagine Dorcas to be except for Miss Mustapha but the actitude is nailed if you've seen them. Not an actress (as far as I'm aware) but miss @/Marsthecowboys on insta is THE Dorcas Meadows ❤️🩹
For a more young Dorcas I love Leah Sava Jeffries. I think she would do magnificent job.
Dorcas is a young pureblood woman from inmigrants parents and is looked down upon due to her having foreigner parents even if they've lived more than half of their lives on Magical England and she was born and raised there, she need to find a husband that does not mind that her family are "outsiders". She comes from kind loving and ambitious parents and Dorcas is a kind loving and ambitious daughter, she wants better for herself and for her parents she must be the best, with or without a man.
Emmeline Vance
Fancast: Nhung hong, Minnie mills, Andrea Chaparro
I've actually only ever seen as Nhung Hong as Emmeline ever since I entered the fandom, before seeing her on a random search for a fancast i never truly had a face for Emmeline in my head. The other two fancast, Shayla from tsitp and Gertrudis from Como agua para Chocolate (Like Water for Chocolate, great show btw, love the magic realism totally a watch) I included only bcs I've seen lots of people have them as a fancast and I wanted to share them in here even if they are not how I see Emmeline ❤️
In my HP, there is a "system" to kinda keep track of families, how many times they have "sullied" (🤦🏻♀️) their blood line and what draws the murky line between a half-blood and a pureblood. I kinda made this up while pulling an all nighter so sorry for any spelling mistakes or weird stuff that doesn't make sense.
So, I've always wondered, where does a half-blood stop being a halfblood? Let's say I'm your regular wizard guy, wixen, whatever you call them. And the last time someone in my bloodline married a half-blood was over 20 generations ago and the last time someone married a muggle/muggleborn is even before that, does that mean I'm a half-blood ? Or I'm I considered a pureblood now?
So since wizards are silly (very nice word), I decided that they made a silly system that regulates who is and who isn't a pureblood, they they would absolutely do someshit like that. Only people who haven't had their bloodline sullied by 9 generations can call themselves pureblood. And very loosely. Since the taint has been "washed out" by then. Nobody truly actually recognize these people as purebloods but it gives them a bit of a higher social standing, because it's basically just a tool to control the people scare / bribe the people to stop bringing new blood into the wizarding world, if the muggleborn bred which each other that's on them, but not which the "pure". People want to be recognized as pure bloods to they do everything in their power to "discourage" the mixing and the children are keep watched at all times so that they don't mix with the unbefitting.
Emmeline comes from a 8th generation halfblood family, it's on her to get a good pureblooded man to marry her and so their family is on good standing once again with the uppity upper class (even though they know they will never see them as clean, some choose to blind themselves to the truth and some just what the higher pay that comes with belonging to a pureblood family once again, even if they will never stop being a halfblood, if the children have purebloods spawn, their lives get better), and so that's how they control the breeding of the population in such a chaotic society that is the wizarding world.
Not very developed idea but I hope I make my point understood on how and why Emmeline is also in that "in-between" like the other girls.
THE EVANS FAMILY PT4 FT. THE ROSIERS (?)
In this version Narcissa and the Evans are related by their mothers, Narcissa's mom is a Rosier, Ms. Evans from a squib or bastard line of the rosiers. With this Fancast I wanted to make sure that the Evans girls looked like they might be related to Narcissa but not to Andy or Bella. I think I did a decent job. In the end, I switched up who was going to be ms. Evans with who was going to be Lily bcs of the micro bangs, no matter how cool might Ms. Evans be, there is no way she has that sailor moon whimsy. Nevermind Petunia or Narcissa. That's reserved Miss Lily 'saved the world by loving my baby too much' Evans. Let's not even bring up the parents of Ms. Evans & Druella, I don't think I can find another actress or actor that looks like they could be their parent. I still haven't decided whether Druella and Ms. Evans are full sister and ms. Evans was just a discarded squib am that a mother/father couldn't kill despite their shame and disgust or half-sisters, and Ms. Evans is a dirty little secret born out of an affair instead but I am leaning more towards the squib thing.
Also, I just realized Phoebe doesn't have the micro bangs in the pics I choose but just look them up if you haven't seen them, I get reminded of my sailor moon obsession everytime I see them. I love it.
Matt Smith as Mr. Robert Evans
Deborah Ann Woll as Ms. Dahlia Evans.
Phoebe Dynevor as Lily Evans
Vanessa Kirby as Petunia Evans (again lol)
Sarah Gaddon as Narcissa Malfoy neé Black
Lili Reinhart as Young Druella Rosier
Her father expected Druella to be a male and had the babe be brought immediately to him to name it, he was disappointed when he discovered a girl but since he was with friends (ehem ehem) at the time he thought expressing disappointed in front of guest was unbecoming so he named her a similar name to his own mother, Drusilla.
Amber Heard as Ms. 'Angelica' Rosier 'neé Parkinson'
For Druella's mother I wanted stop choose a name that had that soft angelic meaning but I also wanted a flower name, since, in my headcanon, Druella didn't get one only because his father was tired of flower names both in his family and in his wife's family. So he named her instead. He didn't mind to do this with Dahlia because she was the second born, so he let his wife have her way. Angelica roots are a potion ingredient and it means "angelic" or "messenger of God," derived from the Greek angelos. Very obvious.
Shame the so-expected child, especially the one that favored her father's and grandmother's weasley/prewett looks turned to be a filthy no magic squib. Because yes, to me Mr. Rosier has a prewett/Weasley mother. Prolly Prewett 'cause I think the Weasley were already poor at this point, or you can keep it Weasley and let his birth be a scandal lol. I think Harry and Ron being connected by blood is cute if you ignore the homoerotic tension between those two.
Angelica couldn't bring herself to order the elves to kill her child or to kill do it herself, do instead she ordered her to be left in some no-name orphanage with just her name in a locket and her clothes, any memories wiped out. Idk about ages, if you think about it, it is possible that some paranoid blood purist had some ritual or method to see if a child had magic or not very early, and by that I mean around toddler age, i think younger than that would be too risky. Or we can go with the Neville route and have Dahlia be older and an "amnesiac" (obliviate) and almost or just Hogwarts age.
But leaving the Rosiers behind, let's bring some more Doctor Who nostalgia with the most classic Lily Evans Fancast!
Karen Gillan!!!!
