#*dies of emotion* #but what if molly was his companion once #and now he stops by for breakfast #and keeps commenting because it seems like every time #there’s another ginger kid #adn when he sees harry it’s like ha! #i knew they couldn’t all be ginger! #and molly doesn’t bother telling the doctor that harry isn’t hers #because he is after all one of her boys #and she loves him just as though he was a weasley (via dwcompanion)

those tags broke me a little inside 

#Molly Weasley turned Daleks into actual pepperpots, because, honestly, she doesn’t have time for their nonsense.

Harry Potter & I Might Get Along ⚡️

so if in the soulmate au the very first words your soulmate ever says to you are tattooed somewhere on your body since the day you are born imagine having something like ‘man I cant believe dumbledore died’ tattooed on you. imagine being spoiled for a book series that doesnt even exist yet. imagine worrying about this dumbledore guy your whole childhood while not knowing who he is. imagine knowing dumbledore dies before jk rowling even thinks about it.

Everybody go home, this is my favorite soulmate au

So you finally find your soulmate. After years of knowing that dumbledore dies and the entire franchise being ruined, you find him. You’re in the theatre, dumbledore is dead and you hear it. ‘Man I can’t believe dumbledore died’ by a guy walking right by you and in you’re rage you shout ‘You! You’re the one!’ The guy stops, looks at you, his own arm to read the words, then back at you and he says, “That’s not really how I imagined that being said”

It got better

With this I always imagine the person taking the dude to meet his family and of course everyone in the family knows what the words are so the entire family also got Harry Potter spoiled for them before it existed all because of this one guy

This is fantastic. Imagine having the ending of Game of Thrones spoiled for you. Or what if you knew Trump would one day be president? Maybe you'd try and find a way to stop him. And then if you did, would that create a paradox? There's so much to think about with this one. The possibilities are ENDLESS.

“Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.”  - J.K. Rowling

what year were you born in?

None of the above, but when the first book came out I was 11 years old, so I - quite literally - grew up with Harry Potter.❤

i can’t believe friday, september 1, 2017, is nineteen years later. the last scene in the harry potter books.

this is it.

@geniewithwifi

for whatever reason tumblr won’t let me reblog your post.

 Phew okay lol.  I didn’t just write him as Gryffindor cause it was the more popular house. I actually thought about it for a long time and was on the fence for a while but ultimately decided to put him in Gryffindor. I agree with your points, he does have all the traits you’ve listed but for what it’s worth, I’m sure if I looked at all the traits for the other houses I’d see lots of crossover. I think that’s just kind of true for most people.

I put him in Gryffindor because in my opinion, at his very core, he’s just Gryffindor. I think he’s the exact kind of bleeding heart think-before-doing chivalrous dude who does impulsive, but brave things, to the point of recklessness (off the top of my head, crashing a plane with himself in it to save others) for the sake of the greater good. I feel like a few of the things in Slytherin might have been a result of what the island brought out in him (not necessarily in a bad way, but just in a way that experience forge personality differently) but in my story, there is no island, so I stuck to who I believe he is in his core.

Hope that makes sense, but it’s always cool to agree to disagree :)))

!!!!!

Seconding that!👆 I've been back and forth on my headcanon of Oliver's house for awhile, and the above reasoning is how I eventually decided on Gryffindor. The hat takes your feelings into account, and I think Oliver, like Harry, would ask for Gryffindor placement because he desperately wants to emulate the Gryffindor qualities (bravery, courage, etc) - more than he wants to emulate any other house's qualities. I think he'd be a hatstall (tbh I think ALL of OTA would be) but in the end he'd ask the hat for Gryffindor. Everyone's allowed to their own headcanons, of course, but that's just mine.

The Magic Begins! ⚡️

Happy 20th to Harry Potter books. Thank you, JK Rowling, for bringing that magical world into my life. I will always be grateful. ⚡️

Happy Anniversary, Harry Potter! Thank you for 20 years of magic ⚡️

I WILL NEVER NOT REBLOG THIS.

THIS WILL NEVER GET OLD

#i’m not even in the fandom and i think this is great

excuse me but

HOW CAN YOU NOT BE IN THE FANDOM

Everybody is in this fandom idfc who you are.

I THOUGHT EVERYONE ON TUMBLR WAS IN THE HARRY POTTER FANDOM WHAT ARE YOU TELLING ME

YOU’RE NOT IN THE HARRY POTTER FANDOM?!

THIS JUST MAKE MY DAY BETTER

Hatstalls, from JKR via Pottermore

Okay but the Hat was just like, “Sure kid whatever” when Harry requested against Slytherin.  What kind of conversation was this?

NO NEVILLE I CAN’T DO THAT YOU HAVE THE HEART OF A LION

THE WIZARD OF OZ WILL GIVE YOU COURAGE NEVILLE

HAKUNA MATATA NEVILLE

DO NOT RECITE THE DEEP MAGIC TO ME NEVILLE I WAS THERE WHEN IT WAS WRITTEN

Okay, I’ve seen this post a couple of times & something just occurred to me. 

Harry was pretty 50/50 Gryffindor/Slytherin from what I remember the hat saying (and according to the wiki blurb on hatstalls having a fairly equal split of traits from more than one house is the common cause of them) so when he asked not to be put into Slytherin the hat was fine with taking that preference into account and put him in Gryffindor. (Also the fact that the hat said he could be great and powerful in Slytherin and Harry’s response was pretty much no I don’t want that pretty clearly demonstrates non-Slytherin traits.)

On the other hand, the above doesn’t mention the hat being at all indecisive about where to put Neville. The hat wasn’t going “hmmm this is tough you’re pretty Gryffindor but you’re kind of Hufflepuff too”. It was probably more like “Yep! Gryffindor for sure!” Followed by Neville being all “No I’m totally a Hufflepuff!” and then proceeding to argue with the hat about it for almost 5 minutes. (Which when you think about it is a super Gryffindor thing to do.) By the end the hat was probably like oh my god kid you’re so Gryffindor you’re practically Godric’s heir shut up and get sorted there already!

“You’re practically Godric’s heir!”

As Neville pulls the sword of Gryffindor from the depths of the hat seven years later, the hat must have been so fucking smug. Like “oh yeah kid, this is such a Hufflepuff thing to do. Charge in with a blade and the bare basics of a plan that basically boils down to ‘I trust Harry, kill the snake.’ Helga would TOTALLY have done that. Oh wait! Did I say Helga? I MEANT GRYFFINDOR!”

“Hakuna Matata Neville”

AU where McGonagall puts her foot down and says ‘you’re going to give Lily and James and Sirius and Remus and Peter’s boy to WHO?’ and proceeds to destroy every argument Albus has by saying ‘you don’t want him raised so he’s revered and pampered? Fine, give him to me, I’ll raise him.’

She would be strict and firm but Harry would never doubt that he was loved and important; just no more than anyone else.

Mama McGonagall AU 2k15

I’m crying?

Baby Harry growing up on the Hogwarts grounds.

The paintings on Baby Watch when he learns how to crawl.

The ghosts watching him during naptime.

All the teachers reorganizing their class schedules so someone can watch Harry.

Baby Harry and Hagrid.

They’d have to refit the charms on the school when he hits his terrible two’s because he somehow can get the stairs to move at his whim, and he once stranded a group of 5th year Ravenclaws on a landing for two hours.

Four year old Harry *loving* Professor Flitwick and his charms, floating fairy lights and flower fish.

Two year old Harry babbling in Parseltongue and accidentally finding the Chamber of Secrets.

The Quidditch teams argue over who gets to teach Harry how to fly only for McGonagall to find out one day and give ALL of them detention.

Harry catching a big and being miserable and McGonagall shifting into ac cat and curling up and purring next to him to settle him down.

Harry getting to meet Remus.

Harry and PEEVES.

Summer vacations to Scotland, Harry knowing every inch of Hogwarts like the back of his hand, Harry growing up as keeper of Hogwarts from the start.

Harry being utterly destroyed by the idea that when he *really* gets to go to Hogwarts (nevermind he’s been sitting in classes since he was five) he’ll have to choose a House.

Harry at 11, standing in the Great Hall, vehemently denying the Sorting Hat’s attempts to put him anywhere.

I’m not certain, but I’m guessing that Slytherin was the only dorm left undamaged after the battle of hogwarts seeing as it’s in a hard-to-get-to place, being under the lake and all.

can you imagine all these little first year Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors and Ravenclaws all crashing in the Slyth common room because they have no where else to go. Sure, the majority would have been evacuated before or during the battle so as not to get injured or in the way, but it’s unlikely that all would have been able to leave on such short notice.

imagine them all sitting huddled together because they’re afraid of these people who are supposed to be evil, who most of the school are apparently fighting a war against.

imagine the older Slytherins keeping their distance because they k n o w that the kids don’t trust them, but still sorting out beds for them, making sure that they’re all hydrated and fed, casting spells to make little floating candles that change colour like a nightlight for the kids who are scared of the dark. the more experienced kids casting silencing charms around the first years so that they can’t hear what is happening outside.

these tiny first year kids from different housing wondering how these people can be ‘evil’ at all.

I LOVE SHIT LIKE THIS

Oh man oh man oh man

The older Slytherins sitting up through the night to try and hear what’s happening outside

Slytherins taking up guard positions in the common room without quite realizing they’re doing it. Still in their pajamas, wands in their hands, looking up sharply every time they hear something explode

Slytherins hearing unforgiveable curses flying, mixed with the screams of their fellow students, realizing that the Death Eaters (family friends? their own relatives?) aren’t showing mercy to children

Slytherins knowing that any moment now they could be the only ones protecting these innocent little kids, as the sounds of battle get closer and closer

Slytherins rolling up their sleeves, gritting their teeth, throwing themselves into the battle for the sake of these poor tiny kids who didn’t ask for this shit
