These Bataar Jr. feels remind me of how much I love Percy Weasley.

(Let’s be honest, they are similar characters.)

You have Charlie, who works with freaking dragons! You have Bill, who wears his hair long and has a fang earring and dragonhide boots and is just ultimately the cool rebel. You have Fred and George who everyone loves for being the mischievous twins. You have Ron, who’s Harry Potter’s best friend! And you have Ginny, who’s the youngest child and the only daughter and so of course everyone adores her.

And then you have Percy.

Percy, the boy who desperately tried to follow the rules and get good grades to make his parents happy.

Percy, who was made both Prefect and Head Boy but every time he brought these accomplishments up, his siblings mocked him. The “Oh, are you a Prefect, Percy?” scene and the scenes where they bewitched his badges to say Pinhead and Bighead Boy come to mind.

Percy, who followed in his father’s footsteps and worked at the Ministry.

Percy, whose boss couldn’t even remember his name. Seriously, when I was a kid, I always laughed at the “Wetherby” scene but now, it’s just devastating. 

Percy, who worked hard and kept getting promoted.

Percy, whose family disregarded his promotions as Fudge wanting to use him as a spy for the family.

Percy, who was so upset that he ends up breaking ties his family.

Percy, who might have been misguided but he still did what he thought was right and what he thought would make his family proud…until he realized that they would never be proud of him…

I have many Percy Weasley feels, okay?

Why doesn’t anyone talk about Hagrid’s flaws?

In fact, I’m a bit nervous to be making this post because I know that I’m going to get hate because Hagrid is evidently untouchable.

But why?

I mean, he’s a great character.

A really great character.

But he has some serious flaws.

Like alcoholism.

And recklessness.

And an occasional violent temper.

I’m not saying we should bash his character.

Far from it.

But we should still acknowledge these flaws.

“But you don’t understand! I’m a pureblood from a rich (albeit dysfunctional) family who was sorted into Slytherin and was convinced by my family to join the Death Eaters where I wanted to help Voldemort with a special mission but I ultimately realized that it wasn’t as glorious as I had thought and I had a change of heart so I subtly figured out a way to try and help the good side and why are you staring at me like that?”

– Draco Malfoy to Regulus Black probably

Which is why I can’t be the only one working on a story about the two of them come on guys think of the possibilities!

fdith:

I just finished outlining the entire rest of FDitH. It was… interesting. I wrote down the four most important plot lines and the events that needed to happen in each one, then I drew a path through all these events, moving from one plotline to another (because the plotlines all come together at some point). 

I’ll admit that when I started writing FDitH, I imagined it being just Harry and Regulus on their own, but then I realized how terribly lonely and difficult that would be for them. I’m glad I changed my mind. Not only because it gives Harry and Regulus to form better relationships with their families and new friendships beyond that, but because I’m really interested in writing this quest as a group effort and getting into an actual war with Voldemort. 

Like, canon already did hunting horcruxes in a lonely group and camping in the woods while on the run from everyone. At this point in time, Voldemort is nearly at the height of his power and there’s the original Order of the Phoenix doing their best to fight his followers and save lives. There’s so much potential there for a completely different war experience than the last one Harry did. (There’s Harry’s memories to deal with, then I think we’re overdue for a proper conversation between Sirius and Regulus, but after that I think we’re shortly going to be meeting another member of the Order of the Phoenix.) 

The four most important plot lines (not the characters’ personal development arcs or anything, but actual series of events), if anyone is curious, go: 1) Hunting Horcruxes, 2) The War with Voldemort, 3) The McKinnon Mystery, and 4) How Harry Ended Up Back in Time. (Yes, all of these mix together at certain points.)

I know some people might not agree with the directions I’ve gone in the latest chapter of FDitH, according to some of my headcanons for The Deathly Hallows, but honestly… though Chapter 34: “The Forest Again” reads as extremely heartfelt and brave and tragic, I think it’s also one of the creepiest chapters in the book series. Not only is Harry interacting with these (might-be-real-might-not-be) shades of his lost loved ones (who aren’t protesting his sacrifice at all, after doing so much for him to live), but the way Harry is thinking as he walks to his death is freaky as all heck and it sets off alarms in my head. 

Even if Harry would have decided to sacrifice his life for everyone without that massive pile of manipulation (because he probably would have, out of love and with his saving people thing), even if there was nothing magically manipulative about the memories Snape gave him (which is up to interpretation, I think), the manipulation is there in simply how Dumbledore has (through Snape) set up and framed everything (and nurtured Harry’s saving people thing). The manipulation is dripping off the pages of that chapter and it breaks my damn heart.

things about the harry potter movies that bother the fans

• movie hermione having all of ron’s good traits
• movie ginny showing less emotion than a brick
• harry casting the lumos spell in privet drive
• peeves not being in any of the movies
• hermione’s dress in goblet of fire being pink and not blue like in the book
• ‘’calmly’‘

i love how everyone just knows what “calmly” means
