I wish Harry Potter had an obvious flaw. Hermione can be rather scheming (at least in the books) and Ron is pigheaded and gluttonous, but Harry is “Just Harry”.

I think if he had like anger management issues, he’d be a better character.

We never hear about Hermione starting her period. I guess maybe she wouldn’t tell her “guy-friends” but she didn’t really have other friends.

Conclusions: afab witches don’t have periods (or maybe Rowling thought it WaSn’T aPpRoPriAtE FoR cHiLdReN)

Just learned that Snape isn’t canonically Draco’s godfather.

Harry Potter is a very unique fandom where the fans flushed out the story to the point certain things are basically canon

Top three weird ships:

Hermione x Bellatrix

- literally tortured her

-Hermione has the strongest morals

- No plausible redemption arc for Bella

- Pretty sure this one only exists because they are two stunning women

Theodore Nott x Reader/OC

- Is mentioned like twice

- no canonical personality

- huh?

Snaps x Harry

- a bit uncomfy

- Snape hates Harry

- It’s giving “YOU NICKNAMED MY BABY AFTER THE LOCH NESS MONSTER”

- lowkey read a decent amount of this one

Just saw a YouTube short about how JKR (bleh) doesn’t like that fans like Draco so much. Like wha? You gave him a redemption arc and an abusive household??? You thought people wouldn’t feel for a little abused boy??!!?! I think she’s just saying things to try and stay relevant at this point

I was in fact not prepared

Nice that it’s 2021 and all but no one is talking about how 2022 (twenty-twenty-too) is only a year away. We need to prepare

The jewelry trope in slytherin fics is so perfect. I can imagine in the olden days being kicked out of your family for accepting a gift of jewelry from an inappropriate suitor. Anyway, the ff community really made HP

I’ve now decided McGonagall had a secret cat room with anything they could ever dream of and she’d talk to them in her spare time. Her friends didn’t deserve neglect

Hogwarts did not need to let students keep pets, but they thought giving eleven year olds the responsibility of another living thing (I mean rats are simple but OWLS AND CATS) was a fantabulous idea. Like was hermione scooping crookshanks litter box... did crookshanks even have a litter box???

I’m honestly confused about the whereabouts of students trunks on the hogwarts express. Like in some films you can see them above on the shelf-things but then they magically appear in their dorms? Like wouldn’t it be easier to have them in a storage room? And how do they even get to the students rooms? Is it filch?

Dumbledore is definitely the manipulative bastard I thought he was. No way would first years be able to pass through tests set by TEACHERS unless Dumbledore told them to make it easy. He really risked these kids to play a little game... Dumbledore is Hisoka

JKR: I think it would be a good way to flush out the wizard if world if like students couldn’t do magic outside of school, it could be like a safety thing

JKR: *proceeds to write students continually performing magic outside of school without consequence except that one time

Nice that it’s 2021 and all but no one is talking about how 2022 (twenty-twenty-too) is only a year away. We need to prepare

I really wish there were fewer plot holes in Harry Potter. I honestly find that it makes it harder to appreciate.

I’m very glad Umbridge is dead. I don’t think I’d be able to handle a character arc for that insufferable tea caddy

[im-the-apple]

I’ve never understood why Voldemort laughs after saying Harry Potter is dead. Like I get cheering and stuff but I thought mouldy voldy was far too serious and scary to just « Nyeh Heh Heh »

No one:

Dumbledore: I guess Slytherin did win the house cup fair and square but I’m actually allergic to snakes. 482 POINTS TO GRYFFINDOR!!!

We never hear much about lunch at Hogwarts and I don’t know whether that means they don’t eat lunch or something truly bizarre happens. Like imagine everyone’s like ‘oh guess it’s time for lunch’ then Dumbledore starts to do his daily lunch dance
