- fleamont potter making money through potions after coming from india as a first gen. immigrant
- fleamont potter made hair potions which was really just charmed coconut oil
- people would notice harry’s green eyes all the time if he was half desi
- when harry has visions through voldemorts eyes that he always distances himself using voldemort’s whiteness or how pale the hand was or something to that effect
- unlikely couple james and lily potter prophesied to have a world-saving baby is literally the motif of the indian epic kumarasambhava
- harry flying on buckbeak is god vishnu on garuda iconography
- i am indian
- and i like harry potter
- he’s my sweet sunflower child
