b-but… that antisemetic propaganda funding the destruction of transgender rights… has my favowite brand name on it!!!!!! 🥺🥺🥺

i think the problem that a lot of people who refuse to let go of harry potter have is that they think you expect them to have known it was shit from the start because people talk a lot about how it has been criticzed since its release which obviously is a response to people claiming that its now just trendy to hate on things we used to like and that includes harry potter. like no one expects you to have known it was shit when you were 10. those books were one of the first things i actually read and i loved them bc i was a dyslexic child with no friends and they were easy to read and i read some of them over 10 times in one year and i read all the weird nazi wizard bullshit and the antisemitic depictions of goblins and the racist caricatures and i still loved those books because i was Eight Years Of Age. and then later when i found out about jkrs transphobia and i read people talking about her other bigotry i realized in hindsight how bigoted those books were and now i dont like them because im a normal person who changes his opinions based on new information

"didn't you used to like hp"

yes cuz i was a child and it was a huge phenomenon that gave me an easy sense of wonder and companionship shared with my peers and i was unaware of many evils of the world

i am now an adult and able to see how hateful its creator is and what kind of messages she spreads and i don't want that in my life ✌️ she finds my existence "tragic" and "unfortunate" and is funding legislation that kills people, she can suck my entire ass

good lord

i don’t understand a single sentence in this and i’m ok with that

I haven’t stopped saying “it’s called quantum jumping, babe”

Good Backwards World Building: In the Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery mobile game, your player character must learn the charm Silencio, which causes the target to temporarily be unable to make any sound, during their fifth year at Hogwarts. During the class, it is revealed that one of the side effects of a failed Silencio charm is for the target of the spell to begin to swell uncontrollably. For players who are clever and remember the books, this will ring a bell- it was never explained why Aunt Marge in The Prisoner of Azkaban started swelling up when Harry got angry, only that he accidentally did magic. This reveal shows that in anger, his subconscious was likely trying to “shut her up”, causing a mis-cast Silencio charm, and therefore the side-effect of swelling. The reveal doesn’t change anything about the characters or their motivations, or add anything in particular to the plot. It’s just a neat bit of trivia.

Bad Backwards World Building: JKR tweets that [x] was part of [x minority group], even though there was no indication of such in the text, simply because it adds representation in hindsight.  

Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory.

i still can’t get over the fact that you don’t need parental permission to be in the triwizard tournament, but you do to go into the next town

Anyway Order of The Phoenix is the Sirius/Remus bible

I always laugh when somebody declares James Potter on the verge of expulsion for his pranks in fic because Malfoy was literally a Death Eater trying to kill the Headmaster and Dumbledore was like “Let’s just see if we can gently guide him away from this” I’m pretty sure the only thing that gets you expelled at Hogwarts is if you have already straight up murdered someone

Tom Riddle: *straight up murdered someone*

Dumbledore: *keeps an annoyingly close eye on*

hagrid got expelled for keeping one (1) spider under his bed

Hagrid got expelled because his spider was blamed for one (1) murder

Hagrid got expelled because he was half giant and they found a convenient excuse.

If Sirius and Remus raised Harry

a list of things remus lupin is good at:

ur headcanon about children confused me but also gave me this mental image which is 100% canon.

I JUST SCREAMED OH MYOGGDO WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY PERFECT REMUS LUPIN YOU DREW

I’m going to cry because this is the most accurate drawing/headcanon of Remus Lupin I’ve ever seen

“Don’t be like your father.”

Can we all take a moment for Molly Weasley who knew her family so fucking well, she had “prison” as one of the options on her clock that told her where everyone was.

Well to be fair to Molly: Arthur, regularly tinkered with enchanting muggle things, against the law Bill, curse breaker and tomb raider for private (goblin run) corporation. Almost certainly has raided tombs that the Egyptian MoM and muggle government weren’t happy about. Charlie: illegal dragon smuggler with buddies on the weekends, apparently. Fred and George. Enough said. Ron is best friends with Harry Potter. Harry is always on some Bull Shit. Ginny idolized the Twins growing up. Literally the only person who she doesn’t have to worry about getting arrested on a daily basis is Percy. Who commits treason in the 7th book.

Also, to be fair - 

Molly Weasley, who literally razed the ground beneath her feet in a duel to the death with Voldemort’s most devoted lieutenant. 

Molly Prewett, a Gryffindor who knew enough about potions to have brewed illicit love potions on the sly during school. 

Molly Prewett, who grew up with two older, clever twin brothers prone to getting into trouble - and who, on at least one occasion, slipped by the teachers to sneak back into her dorm at 4 in the morning when her boyfriend, Arthur Weasley, got caught out. 

Forget the rest of the family - Molly knows herself. The kids don’t get all that trouble-making from just their father.
