I don’t want to write Albus as this angst riddled teenager. Now its all dooming that he’s sorted into Slytherin. His godfather is Neville Longbottom for goodness sake. That his relationship is so strained with his family. Albus and James are not Sirius and Regulus Black.
James, Albus, and Lily are not Albus, Abeforth, and Ariana Dumbledore.
Sirius: Distract them!
Regulus: How?!?
Sirius: I don’t know, make small talk.
Regulus: I’m terrible at small talk! Last time I tried to make small talk, it was with mum and I asked her what her maiden name was!
It’s supposed to be so awesome that Remus Lupin got to go to Hogwarts rather than being home-schooled, but when you think about it, it’s a pretty messed up situation to drop a kid into.
“Congrats, Remus, you are going to Hogwarts! Don’t forget to keep quiet about who you really are because the other kids won’t like you if they find out the truth, and they kinda have a point, now don’t they?
No, you can’t have your own room, so just come up with an elaborate lie once a month, and hopefully your roommates aren’t that bright and won’t be amongst the 90% of wizards who are prejudiced against werewolves and will probably beat your ass when they figure it out, because if that happens, it’s you that’s getting expelled. Not like it matters, cuz you ain’t getting no job anyway, not in this werewolf-phobic economy.
Also, we were considering changing your name to Kevin, but you know what, let’s stick with that Wolfy McWolf name you’ve got, just to keep things interesting.”
I never thought of it that way, but it is messed up
that Harry James Potter, an orphan child, who grew up in an abusive house hold, would ever, EVER, tell his son, quote: ‘Well, there are times I wish you weren’t my son.’
He would never. He of all people, who felt unwanted for several years of his life, would never tell his son that. No matter what.
This.
I refuse to believe that happened. Yes Harry sometimes had a temper. Yes sometimes his mouth was smarter than his brain. No he couldn’t have said that. No matter how he angry he was.
I get it he might fight with Albus a lot and say some bad things but not that, never that.
Not in a million years, not even in some half assed AU, I’m sorry but not Harry Potter
fandom please I implore you all to talk about Dean Thomas more
literally yelling for a red card during a Quidditch match
painting a potter for president banner for his friend HOW CUTE
offering to forge a signature so that same friend could go to the village with the rest of them
actually he paints banners supporting Harry on two separate occasions four years apart
is it weirder that he keeps doing that or that Harry keeps getting himself into situations where he requires banners
good with a quill be still my beating heart the boy is an artist
literally not giving a single fuck that their teacher was a “dangerous half-breed” because he respected the hell out of him as a person and educator
IF YOU MEAN PROFESSOR LUPIN, HE WAS THE BEST WE EVER –
and he grew up as a muggle so he had already been exposed to werewolf folklore and he had every excuse to be afraid or prejudiced and instead decided to judge him on a human level, even without the familiarity the trio etc. had to him
standing up for that same teacher time and time again
including to a ministry official who he just generally gave the sass to anyway
never losing his faith in Harry even when his very best friend in the whole world and approximately 89% of the wizarding community basically thought the bloke was a nutjob
convincing his best mate to join DA
there was a fair bit of an anti-dean sentiment in HBP best to ignore that then
never having any animosity towards his friend for getting together with his ex-girlfriend so soon
completely supporting and defending Harry while on the run because OBVIOUSLY why stop now after seven years of doing literally that at every single opportunity
being completely bemused by but always kind towards Luna
helping to dig the grave on the beach
running out into the final battle without a fucking wand
evidently winning one at some point
everything to do with him and Seamus however you want to view their relationship but frankly I could do a whole other post on that
1) james potter is alive what are you talking about
2) absolutely. these two nerds broke several wizard piracy laws watching rajini movies together. rajini fight scenes are an essential component of tamil father-son bonding.
ahhhhhhh i really really love this???? and do u
know why? not just because it’s my babies. not just because the coloring of ron’s
hair is on fucking point. not just because of harry’s lil hand in his pocket or his sad serious expression. not just because of hermione’s adorable purple
cardigan. IT’S BECAUSE HARRY AND RON ARE HOLDING HANDS. i mean not even in a ‘they’re
a thing’ way. although lbr i’m all about some harry/ron on the side. but i
always ALWAYS see hermione put in the middle. bc boys must not touch no. harry
and ron cannot be that close they must separate. which I KNOW – british and all
that. there’s that thing about physical affection, and harry’s doubly unsure
about physical affection bc abuse. but it’s just really nice to see them
arranged differently. it’s so rare (for me) to see ron in the middle, or even harry for
that matter, when they’re being this close at least. and it’s not that hermione
CAN’T be in the middle. i mean they’re her boys and that’s beautiful and she’s
just as important to the group as they are. but it seems like the films went a
long way in distorting fandom’s view of the trio, and when hermione is constantly
providing a barrier between the boys in fan art i feel like it’s symptomatic
of how thoroughly all three of their characters were destroyed in the movies.
everyone forgets that ron and harry are CLOSE. they’re best friends, they’re
brothers, THEY’RE FAMILY. they cheer each other up and protect each other and
love each other. THEY’RE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO ONE ANOTHER FOR GOD’S
SAKE. THEY CANNOT FUNCTION WHEN THEY ARE APART WE HAVE SEEN THIS. i just. ugh.
harry and ron being #1 bros. ron protecting and defending harry and hermione. hermione
doing whatever it takes to stand beside harry and ron. harry letting these
people, his best friends, help him in ways he never let anyone else help
before. THE TRIO BEING THE COHESIVE FAMILY UNIT THEY WERE MEANT TO BE.
oh my god THANK YOU! this was exactly what i was going for- it was deliberate that ron was in the middle. for all the attributes of harry and hermione, ron doesn’t get enough credit for being the glue that really holds the group together. i mean, when he leaves in the seventh book, harry and hermione are super depressed and you realize how much of a disadvantage it is not to have ron with them. not to take anything away from the other two- i love them all equally- but ron, for me, is really the heart of the trio. he’s what makes their dynamic work. (and you’re right, the depth of ron and harry’s relationship is totally glossed over in the films)
