If you ever feel sad just remember that Snape had to teach Luna potions too

#Harry Potter#oh my god this must have been DELECTABLE#cuz everything just rolls of her back#he wouldn’t have been able to break her like he did so many others#and you know she would have interrupted him every few minutes with weird things#‘professor I think we need to be more careful of the flibbertijibbets’#‘they’re attracted to the beetle barbs we’re using and they could cause an itching epidemic in everyone’s left nostril’#‘miss Lovegood flibbertijibbets do not exist’#‘much like your final grade if you do not cease this foolishness’#‘if you say so professor’#‘but I think my left nostril is already starting to itch’#and because talking about itching makes itching happen#(or maybe flibbertijibbets do exist who am I to say)#everyone’s left nostril starts itching#panic spreads slowly through the classroom#what are flibbertijibbets??#are they dangerous???#Snape loses control of the class#and eventually comes to realize he has to play along with Luna’s concerns#or else every class will dissolve into chaos#‘miss Lovegood it is impossible for flibbertijibbets to enter this classroom’#‘I have set up a number of wards’#‘oh alright professor…but did you hang the rosemary on the lintel?’#‘it’s really the only way to distract them sufficiently’#and then he realizes he has to actually figure out what she expects so he can counter it and keep control of the class#he has to start reading the Quibbler#he accidentally ends up legitimizing everything Luna believes in#SO THERE’S A NEW FAVOURITE HEADCANON#sorry if I made you itchy#ChimaWrita (x)

Thank you for all of this

I love this. I love Luna. I love Luna innocently driving Snape mental

he had it in him all along.

I have this theory that Neville is supposed to represent everything that Peter could have been. You know, both of them were the weak link in the friend group, the guy easily influenced. But instead, Rowling made Neville weak to prove the two paths an individual could take. How each of our weaknesses manifest in different ways. Peter’s weakness made him a villain, ultimately worse than Voldemort because he betrayed his friends, while Neville’s weakness made him work harder and in the end made him Harry’s strongest ally.

Harry = James, Ron = Sirius, Hermione = Remus, Neville = Peter, Ginny = Lily, Luna = Snape. 

You will notice that none of the six from the old generation survived. The kids each have traits from the old generation but they’re here to fix the past, and thus must survive the series to metaphorically right the past. Some may raise their eyebrows at Luna as Snape, but just as Harry represents James (the popular kid who was good at quidditch, but didn’t become arrogant like his father) or like Peter and Neville (two people who could have been cowards, but Neville rises to life’s challenges) Luna mirrors Snape in being mocked, a pariah, Looney Lovegood and Snivellus. Instead of being resentful, she rose above it, and loved herself regardless. 

If you went with Harry to the Ministry of Magic in book 5, you mattered beyond just backing him up against Voldemort. This core six represented the loss and failure of the Marauders generation, and the hopes of a post-Voldemort future.  

Holy shit

WAIT!

Might I suggest every single thing from the above except

Harry = Sirius

Ron = James

Harry was the boy who grew up in an unloved house that was neglectful at best, abusive at worst, but eventually went to Hogwarts, was sorted into Gryffindor despite the odds of being in Slytherin, and found a new family in a group of friends.

Ron was the brave adventurous boy who grew up in a loving household (that was pureblood but quirky/uninterested in social norms), a boy who took in this raggedy abused kid as his brother, a boy whose family accepted said brother as one of their own without hesitation. (And on the ‘foil’ side, Ron represents the opposite of James as well, being a self-conscious poor kid compared to James’ arrogant rich side. Two sides of the same coin.)

ONE MORE THING

Might I also suggest:

Hermione = Lily

Ginny = Remus

Hermione is the smart, intelligent, quick witted girl from a Muggle family that the most bigoted of the purebloods look down on and ridicule because of race and outright jealousy. She’s the brightest witch in her generation, despite more ‘humble’ beginnings and is able to win the admiration of all her teachers without letting it change who she is as a person. She’s also the social crusader (S.P.E.W. anyone?) and drawn to outsiders because of her own feeling of not belonging due to how her intelligence and muggle birth sets her apart. She sees value in those from non-traditional households and backgrounds because she herself fits into that category.  

Ginny is the girl from a loving family whose father worked at the ministry of magic and due to that connection, came in contact with an evil power that psychologically and physically damaged her in a way that made her an outcast among her peers and severely hindered her ability to form friendships while under it’s influence. The effects of such contact last her lifetime (the trauma of sharing Voldemort’s mind? HUGE), even if the narrative doesn’t focus on them the way it does with Remus. In fact, her experience of being an outcast leads her to reach out to the one person who is even more marginalized than her (Luna) in a way that Remus was unable to do because Severus wouldn’t let him in (which intersects with Luna being what Severs was not).

Aaaand, the diaporama of them all together. My aim was to draw some of my favorite HP caracters doing something relaxing, that they enjoy. Because they have so many dangerous adventures… i wanted to see them having a rest. So now it’s over -for now- and I’m returning to my work. XD (work is a comic about a love adventure King Francis of France had… Not nearly as fascinating as HP related stuff, but well… at least I turned King Francis into a pretty young man x3)

The Harry Potter movies added many scenes that I disagree with.

This is not one of them.

I love how Harry just genuinely likes Luna. Not in a romantic way, but in a “I don’t know how or why but I get you and you get me and I’d be honored to call you a friend and if anyone messes with you I’ll wallop them” kind of a way. I think he just marvels at her level of don’t give a fuck and her absolute sense of self. And then he and Ginny partially name their daughter after her (Lily Luna) and that to me is just fucking precious.

You have to at least ship their friendship.

This is one of the most inspirational stories ever.

Oh. My. God.

Is this a true story??

It is indeed. (x) And she’s written a fantastic piece about body image. (x)

EDIT: This is the specific article from which the above story is taken.

This is the best thing ever.

Yes RDJ is Tony Stark but not to the degree that EVANNA LYNCH IS LUNA LOVEGOOD.

Let’s not forget the fact that she embodied the character so much that J.K. Rowling made Luna more like Evanna Lynch.

Incredible.
