#comforting and praising a bird as he’s dying so it doesnt feel bad #how do people hate you bb
People who hate Harry Potter missed the a giant part of the story. Despite being abused by his aunt, uncle and cousin his whole life Harry was kind, compassionate, loyal, protective and honest. He defended those who needed it and stood up to those who deserved it. He didn’t become bitter or hateful. And he spent his life trying to protect others. You can’t hate him because people chose to stand by him even if it meant they’d die. He didn’t want that, he wanted everyone to live even if it meant he couldn’t anymore.
It’s because he suffered PTSD in book 5 and was mistaken for a whinny angsty teen.
#do not even get me started#i will defend harry until the end of time#but like the angsty teen thing#he had PTSD#but he was ALSO a whiny angsty teen#and the fact that people even use that as a reason to dislike him makes me so mad#because WE were all whiny angsty teens#and who was there through that?#these guys#harry ron hermione all of them with their angsty teen bullshit#but they were whiny angsty teens who were also amazing individuals#who proved that just because you have the capability to be an asshole doesn't mean you are one#or that you have to be defined by it#and people literally turn that around on harry and be all 'he a lil bitch'#no#shut the fuck up#he is a flawed character#and if you don't like your characters flawed then you are not deserving of good storytelling#because good storytelling should only contained characters who are flawed in some respect#you know#like ACTUAL FUCKING PEOPLE#hp#harry potter
