Whenever you feel sad,

just remember Lupin’s wise words:

Eat, you’ll feel better.

[dmbledores]

[disneyprinceronweasley]

So not only have they got Dumbledore doing a copy cat class of Lupin’s in a subject he didn’t even teach

They had Mcormac say ‘he’s the best teacher we’ve got’ to the ministry officials.

Where have we heard almost the exact same line about a DADA teacher before

I just.....was there anything original in the film?

[ggadtomarry]

A thing I really enjoy about HP is the use of unreliable narrators.

I really enjoy the clash of different accounts, especially if they are presented as trustworthy.

Thing is, many characters who should know better lie in HP. And Harry, and us with him, doesn't have other choice than believe them... Until we discover another point of view, of course.

Petunia lying about Harry's parents and his identity is just the beginning.

Albus not telling Harry about the prophecy and the horcrux is another famous one.

But my fave one is Remus on Severus just before the climax of PoA. Why? Because Remus straight on tells Harry that Sirius tried to kill Severus through him, and Sirius laughs about it. So, they told the truth, right? Technically yes, but they presented it in such a way that we readers and Harry can't know the truth: which is, Severus was the usual victim of their vicious cruel bullying. It wasn't a prank gone too far, it wasn't even the worst of what they did to Severus.

If Sirius is still an unknown entity, Remus should be a trustful adult, isn't he? So calm, so quiet, full of euphemisms. This is only one of the numerous pieces where he's evident he's vicious af.

“It served him right,” he sneered. “Sneaking around, trying to find out what we were up to . . . hoping he could get us expelled. . . .”

“Severus was very interested in where I went every month,” Lupin told Harry, Ron, and Hermione. “We were in the same year, you know, and we — er — didn’t like each other very much. He especially disliked James. Jealous, I think, of James’s talent on the Quidditch field . . . "

Wow, Remus, thank you for this lesson in how to manipulate the truth. My other fave Remus is ruthless bit is him criticising Harry for his use of expelliarmus (his signature spell, taught by Severus).

You have the right to your head canon, but we never see any proof of Severus being jealous of James being good at Quidditch. Never we see jealous of him at all. If only James would have let him alone, Severus wouldn't have cared about him at all. Their issues were completely on another dimension.

So when Harry sees the other side of the story via a source which can't lie (the memories of Severus himself), he's understandably shocked. And the readers with him. Not only the pedestal on which Harry had put his father and his friends is breaking, but he's deeply upset because of the lies. And he's right.

In many chapters we read things that later we discover not being true. Or there is another interpretation of these facts, at least.

So yes, I find HP's relation with truth, lie and opinion very interesting. It makes us wonder about the other hidden truths of HP. For example, not counting FB because it is another artistic project, I tend to disregard Aberforth's account of GGAD's summer of love and their breakup. I mean, there is some truth on it, but not the whole truth. Aberforth strongly dislikes his brother and completely hates Gellert, why should he be truthful?

And Voldemort calling the Death Eaters his family, he's mocking the concept of family, he genuinely views them as his family (let's remember he killed his blood relatives) or he's lying to Harry and/or himself?

And what about the house of Slytherin? A nest of wannabe fanatic serial killers or misunderstood miscellaneous misfits?

Fascinating.

[mrs-dr-reid]

Because I’m bored, imma give y’all a basic rundown of all of my OCs that I actively write for. There’s 15 of them, so this is probably gonna be in two parts, because I have face claims for all of them, and I’d like to provide visual aid for each one (and tumblr limits the images on a post to 9). We’re also gonna go by fandom because that makes it easier for me.

1. Elaina Granger is the very first OC I ever made so many years ago I honestly don’t remember when I made her up. Her full name is Elaina Marie Granger-Potter as of the end of the series, and she’s the younger sister of Hermione Granger by about 10 months. As one can probably tell based on context, she eventually ends up with Harry Potter. I rewrote the ending of the series out of spite, so Ginny ends up with Dean and I renamed two of Harry’s kids (James Sirius was a good name, the other two needed to be changed for my own sanity). My face claim for her is Emilia Clarke.

2. Rose Fletcher is from the Marauders Era, and she came to be because I got really addicted to Marauder POVs on TikTok, and wanted to make a character for that time period. Her full name is Rosalind Artemis Fletcher, and she eventually ends up with Remus Lupin (the very popular Andrew Garfield fancast applies here). Continuing with me rewriting the series out of spite, Remus doesn’t die in Deathly Hallows and they grow old together and become kick-ass grandparents when their son and daughter start families of their own (unfortunately Teddy does not exist in this universe, but I think I replaced him with a grandson from either their son or their daughter). My face claim for her is Sarah Bolger.

3. Gemma Silversmith is from the Fantastic Beasts era, and I thought her up way back when the first FB movie came out because I fell in love with Eddie Redmayne’s cute little face the second I laid eyes on him. Her full name is Gemmadine Florence Silversmith, and she eventually ends up with Newt Scamander. She went to Hogwarts for the first 2 years of her education, but then her dad got a better paying job at MACUSA, so she transferred to Ilvermorny in her third year and became friends with the Goldstein gals. She meets Newt when he brings his animal shenanigans to New York, and during the war they dance around their feelings like the world’s worst mating dance, then once the war is over they get married and start a family. My face claim for her is Lilly James, but imagine her with borderline silvery blonde hair.

4. Adri Carmichael is in the Criminal Minds universe, and I created her because I too quickly became obsessed with Dr. Spencer Reid and his stupid perfect face. Her full name is Dr. Adrienne Ember Reagan Carmichael, and she’s a member of the BAU alongside her eventual husband Spencer Reid. I decided when I was developing her to make her a slightly smarter female version of Spencer, so she has a Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (which is slightly better than eidetic), she can read 20,500 words per minute, and she’s 10 months older than Spencer so she graduated high school at 12-ish as well. She also has 3 PhDs and 2 BAs, and the whole team (aka Derek) always jokes that she’s a female Spencer but with better hair. They eventually have a daughter and a son together, but the daughter is born around the middle of season 11 and is about a year old when Spencer gets sent to prison, and the son isn’t born until after the events of the season 15 finale. My face claim for her is Amanda Seyfriend.

5. Liddy McCormick is in the 9-1-1 universe, and I made her because Evan Buckley stole my heart WAY too fast. Her full name is Lydia Pearl McCormick, and as previous statements would lead you to assume, she eventually ends up with Evan Buckley. She works at station 118 as a paramedic, and she learned everything she knows from Chimney and Hen because they instantly adopted her as their work child on her first day. Her and Buck start dating in the aftermath of his lawsuit and all that drama, so Taylor remains just a friend, and the whole “I kissed Lucy, Taylor move in with me” thing turns into “Lucy keeps flirting with me when you’re standing right there, wth” and it gets sorted out. My face claim for her is Chloe Grace Möretz.

6. Mal Byers is the first of three OCs in the Stranger Things universe, and I thought her up because Dustin Henderson stole my heart with his precious face. Her full name is Mallory Kay Byers, she’s the youngest Byers kid and Will’s younger twin sister, and as one can ascertain from context clues, she’s the girlfriend of Dustin Henderson. They start dating while Dustin is away at Camp Know Where, and she helps him and Suzie with Cerebro from Hawkins. She gives him Planck’s Constant instead of Suzie after he sings Never Ending Story for her to help her calm down from the barrage of information she gets thrown at her, because I decided she’s kinda missing in action for most of Season 3 because she gets a nasty stomach bug right before Dustin gets home and she’s stuck in bed the whole time the gang is running around dealing with the Upside Down shit. My face claim for her is Raffey Cassidy.

7. Carrie Brown is my second ST OC, and I came up with her because my Joe Keery obsession was reignited full force after I watched Free Guy. Her full name is Carrie Beatrice Brown, and she ends up with Steve Harrington. She’s the go-to babysitter for the Party, and she’s best friends with Nancy. She’s kind of the third wheel around her and Steve all the time until they break up. She gets stuck staying with the kids and Steve when the Byers’ and Nancy go to get the Mind Flayer out of Will, then after their group goes to torch the Demodog tunnels, Steve asks her out, and they start dating. The whole bathroom confession in ST3 with Robin changes to him admitting that he thought he was in love with Nancy, but he’s actually in love with Carrie, and he’s terrified that once she goes off to college, they’ll be done for. But she only ends up going to a school half an hour away from Hawkins, so she comes home on weekends and for holiday breaks, so their whole plot line in ST4 pans out as Steve trying his damndest to figure out how to tell her he loves her, and while he still tells Nancy about his “six kids in an RV” dream, Carrie is the person he imagines as Mama Harrington and there’s no weird “will they won’t they” thing with Nance. My face claim for her is Olivia Cooke.

8. Kim Anderson is my final ST OC, and I thought her up because I fell in love with Eddie Munson’s stupid perfect face WAY too quickly. Her full name is Kimberly Jillian Anderson, and as one could ascertain, she’s in a relationship with Eddie Munson. I decided I wanted her to be the polar opposite of Eddie so their relationship wouldn’t make much sense to anyone outside of their friend group, so she plays soccer, her family is on the more affluent side, she’s blonde, she’s popular, and she’s top of her class. She’s a normal senior while Eddie’s on his second do-over, so she’s 18-19 while he’s 20-21. And because the ending of ST4 pissed me off, I’m rewriting it out of spite so both Eddie and Kim go into the Upside Down to distract the Demobats, but Kim employs a trick Carrie shows her, and turns multiple cans of Aquanet hairspray and a lighter into a redneck flamethrower. They still get nibbled a little bit when the Aquanet runs out, but not bad enough that they both die, so they both make it out and hole up in Kim’s family’s cabin on the outskirts of town until Hopper shows up and exonerates Eddie. So the conversation Dustin has with Eddie’s uncle changes to him being told that Eddie is still alive, he’s just laying low until the chaos dials back a little. My face claim for her is Lili Reinhart.

9. Christine Frampton is an OC I made for the Bridgerton universe because I fell in love with Benedict Bridgerton’s stupid beautiful face way too fast even though Simon and Anthony were right there. As one can probably guess, she ends up with Benedict Bridgerton. She returns from France with her family after the events of season two after being there for the last 4 years for her father’s job, meaning she missed her social debut by a few years (she’s 25). She grew up next door to the Bridgerton family, so she was very close with Daphne and Eloise as well as the eldest Bridgerton brothers, especially Benedict. When she returns, her mother decides that she’ll be making up for her missed debut that season, and Benedict has no idea what to do with himself because according to him she grew even more beautiful while she was gone. Both of them slowly fall in love over the course of the season, but both of them are oblivious to the other’s feelings because duh. They finally get their acts together at the end of the season and get married. My face claim for her is Ellise Chapell.

Cookies🍪 -> I'll ship you with someone! Just tell me some facts about you, gender preference, and fandom! Same fandoms as above! - I'm pan (bit more of preference for men) have black hair with brown highlights and brown eyes (ik, ik, I'm plain LMAO), Favourite HP creature is either a niffler or bowtruckle, and I play hockey (: I'm currently into the Harry Potter (Marauders and Fantastic Beasts, more on the FB side tho!!) and Dream SMP fandom (bit of Marvel too)

I'd say Remus Lupin!

Idk know why but just ✨vibes✨ yk?

[make-me-imagine]

Uhhh.... If you want me to retype my personality in DMs, I will! Could I get a ship for the Tenth Doctor and Newt Scamander?

[[Info taken from DMs: My favorite hobbies are painting, sketching, writing, and sometimes singing. My greatest fear is being alone due to my personality. I wanted to be a pilot as a child but I have a fear of falling. I love traveling as long as the trip is safe or I'm with someone I trust. My favorite superhero is Batman. I'm a sucker for Detective types. My favorite Novel is Ella Enchanted. My favorite TV show is Bones (Fox). A mistake I regret is not choosing my middle school friends more carefully. My favorite movie is the Princess Bride. I’m a night owl. I hate getting up in the morning. I like vanilla ice cream and I usually go with the simplest answer when presented with multiple options. I hate repeating myself. I prefer swipe typing to tapping. My biggest pet peeve at the moment is when someone is yelling at another person for not wearing a mask even though they have their nose out. (Wear a mask.) ]]

Fixed Fandom Request: Doctor Who and HP/FB. 

I hope you like them :)

Doctor Who: 

I actually do ship you with Ten lol. 

I think you to would be a fun pair and get on well together. He is very encouraging and kind and would always make you feel wanted and needed. Sometimes he can get on your nerves due to his wishy-washy and sarcastic attitude, but you can dish it out too. Most of your travels end up not being exactly “safe”, but he will always keep you safe. 

What you did for your first date: 

Ten being who he is, would take you to a really beautiful distant planet.

You would walk through the town and he would explain where you were, and all about the culture of the people who live there. 

You would eat the unique food and buy some of their handmade clothes and jewelry/accessories. 

At the end of the day you would watch the local yearly festival (which is why he brought you in the first place). 

Once it was over you sat on a hill near the Tardis and watched the stars come out until you grew tired. 

Ways he shows you he loves you without words: 

Taking you anywhere you want to go, on Earth or anywhere else in the universe. 

Taking you out t get ice-cream whenever you say you are craving it. 

Letting you sleep for as long as you want, and waking you up slowly and gently.

Whenever you sketch or paint something, you will later find it encased in a frame or plastic slip to keep it from getting dirty or ruined.

Best Friend: 

I think you would get along best with Amy. She is sassy but kind and I think you would get along really well. She would love the same movies as you, so you two would sometimes have movie nights (which the Doctor would of course attend as well). 

- Other Ship Below Cut - 

HP/FB: 

I actually ship you with Remus Lupin (Marauders Era+)

I feel like you and Remus would get along very well. He is patient and kind and would appreciate your needs and wants more than most others. He loves that you are artistic and shares you love for the same type of movies, shows ans books. I just think you two would be one of the best and cutest couples as hogwarts. 

How you met and his first impression of you: 

You met at Hogwarts, obviously. 

You had seen him around campus, and he had seen you, but you had not met until your third year. 

It was in potions class, and you were seating next to each other for the year. 

After introduced, you were able to have some casual talk and got to know each other a bit. 

His first impression was that you came off a bit shy and uneasy at first, but he was the same way. 

By the time class was over, he thought you were really nice, witty and pretty cool.

He was really glad that you were his new seating partner. 

How he describes you to his friends/family: 

When Sirius and James figured out he had a crush on someone, and asked about you, Remus tried to describe you as to not give you away to easily. 

He would describe you as beautiful, creative, smart, funny, and overall pretty neat.

Remus would start listing some little habits you do in class, like the way you fiddle with your pencil, or how you doodle in your notebook. 

He would get lost in his thoughts about you and start describing you in more detail to the point where is was obvious he was talking about you.

(Andrew Garfield and young Remus Lupin fc)

Best Friend: 

In another time-line, I think your best friend would be Luna. She is very quiet, and does not often hang out with many people. But you get along really well even though you are quite different. You study together and talk about art and books, often practicing your sketching and painting skills together.

[stylesclashed]

001 | Send me a fandom and I will tell you my: Harry Potter for @you-said-forever

Favorite character: Just one? No way. Remus, Severus, Luna, Harry, Newt

Least Favorite character: James. Ginny. Sirius (sometimes/most of the time), low-key: Hermione. & all the obvious ones: Voldermort, Umbridge lol

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Rabastan Lestrange/Andromeda Black (Tonks), Marcus Flint/Katie Bell, Harry Potter/Luna Lovegood, Remus Lupin/Nymphadora Tonks, Bill Weasley/Fleur Delacour.

Character I find most attractive: Not so sure about this one, in my head, when reading the books - Total Remus girl…. For the movies: Newt probably. :) (I know it’s FB)...

Character I would marry: Remus, Newt, or Charlie.

Character I would be best friends with: Not sure, Newt. Charlie, Neville, Luna, Hagrid. Hard to say!

a random thought: There had to be more than 5 boys and 5 girls in each house per year, and it always annoys me when people stick to that set up. The sorting wouldn’t work plus there are parts of the book where JKR implies that there are more students in each house…

An unpopular opinion: Harry & Ginny ending up together was a horrible decision.

my canon OTP: probably Remus/Tonks, Bill/Fleur or Molly/Arthur.

Non-canon OTP: Rabastan/Andromeda.

most badass character: Probably Harry!

pairing I am not a fan of: Remus/Sirius, Harry/Ginny, Draco/Hermione, Harry/Hermione. Student/teacher pairings (these are really popular in hp for some reason).

character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): I actually don’t have many complaints about the actual HP story. For as long & complex as it was and the time it was written, I think the story is wonderful. I would say killing off certain characters (Hedwig, Dobby, etc) or some of the end-game pairings. I strongly disagree with some of those.

favourite friendship: Harry&Ron.

character I want to adopt or be adopted by: I would go back in time and adopt Severus so he could be happier :) (then the story would fall apart but, whatever lol). Honestly, I don’t know.

[champagneandliterature]

I’m doing an art challenge in a FB group. Figured I could post some of it here.

[uthseikoashx-inflamedme]

Why are the Weasleys poor? (eng&fr) (theories about pure-blood families, inheritance, etc)

(really sorry for the mistakes, I’m not a native speaker!)

There are two answers, but the first one’s in English, and the second one’s in French (initially, I wrote it in French in the comments of a video). The text is sometimes a bit different but it’s the same idea.

disclaimer: it’s theories, not the truth, I’m obviously not an expert (at all) about things like inheritance, how aristocracy worked during the last centuries) and things like that, I also probably do not have the same eye on it as a French person, and I probably forgot many things, and I’m quite unclear at several occasions, but good luck! (and also, I hope I’m not indelicate or something like that)

                    - e n g l i s h -

Of course, the main reason is: M. Weasley is the only one who works in the family and Molly and him have 7 children (I do not consider that Bill, Charlie, Percy or the twins as “people who work” in the family, even if they probably give a part of their salary to help). But the Weasleys are also pure-blood: and most of the pure-blood families we know are rich, for different reasons – they are at least never poor.

So the real question I will try to answer here is: why, despite the inheritance the Weasleys should have (because they are pure-blood), are they poor?

(Before we continue: I’m aware that the Weasley family is the only poor family in the HP universe (Remus Lupin is the other poor character, but it’s not in the same context). Here, their true wealth is their love, the way they support each other, their braveness and ethics actions and convictions – and all of this is built in opposite of the Malfoy family (even if the fact they care for the others is the most important thing in the Malfoy family, but it’s not the subject here). However, it’s a “narrative” explanation (?) – I mean by that that JKR chose to have a poor Weasley family to carry a message. Here, I wonder why, in the world of HP, in the lore, the Weasleys are poor (so what are the logical and canon-compliant reasons to their poverty).)

(abbreviations: W = (the) Weasleys pbf = pure-blood families)

1. A bit of context: the other pure-blood families

Most of the pbf we meet in the saga have a huge capital inherited from their ancestors (the Malfoys, the Blacks or the Longbottoms for example). The other pbf (Bones, Abbot, Parkinson, etc.) doesn’t seem to be poor. Besides, we know that the Weasleys are related to the Blacks and the Malfoys, due to Molly's Prewett origins AND Arthur’s origins (if I remember correctly?).

We can think that the wealth is kept by the pbf, because they are all related. So how could Molly and Arthur have no money, no inheritance? It's can be quite surprising. It seems to me that there is no clear answer to that in the books, but there are clues and all. It's theories, it's up to you to say what you think!

(To be honest, there are exceptions to the rule “pbf = aristocracy = they have the money”: the Gaunts and the Potters. However, the Gaunts are quite particular – they ostracised themselves, so they do not belong anymore to the society and abandon their status of noble family. On the other hand, the Potters seems to belong to the bourgeoisie and not the nobility, because they are rich since only a few decades at the beginning of HP1 thanks an invention of an Harry’s ancestor. Like the bourgoisie and the bosses during the 19th century, they became rich with industry – they are not noble. (Besides, the Potters are not in the 28 sacred and some of them (Henry Potter, who lived at the beginning of the 20th century) seemed to be against the power of the pbf, if I remember correctly what I read on Pottermore (he was at least against the power and the Ministry sometimes).) My point is: perhaps the pbf are not all that rich, perhaps I’m biased by what we see in HP series with Malfoy and Sirius… Consequently, all the analysis is maybe a bit crappy and useless. But let’s consider the other pbf are rich and noble and the poverty of the W have to be explain.)

2.     Arthur's side

·         Muriel is alive

First, we know that Aunt Muriel has a large house, she owns objects of great value (the diadem of Fleur's wedding), and she is quite old (107 years old). So perhaps she has a lot of money and she owns all of the capital of the W family. Because she’s still alive, the other members of the family – Arthur for example – have no inheritance, she is keeping all of the money. That insufferable old bat is capable of that, fight me.

·         Arthur is disinherited?

It could also be because of a will. Arthur is definitely a non-conformist person: with his passion for Muggles and his unconditional love and tolerance, he could have been able to attract the wrath of few members of his family and to be disinherited. It is however quite unlikely in my opinion, because we know that the W family, at the difference of many pbf, did not in any case wanted to be counted among the "28 sacred families" (those listed by an ancestor of Nott as being the real pbf). In the W family, progressivism does not seem to be Arthur's exclusivity, because (from memory) the book on the 28 families appeared many decades before Arthur's birth, so Arthur’s ancestors were already non-conformist.

3.     Molly's side

·         sexist inheritance rights?

Similarly, why did Molly not inherit money? Again, there are several possibilities: perhaps the inheritance among the pbf is reserved for male descendants, as among the Blacks with Sirius. Bellatrix's chest is Lestrange’s, not Black’s. Maybe there is a tradition of this kind in a conservative part of the 28 pbf: after marrying Arthur, Molly quitted the Prewett family and consequently, abandon her inheritance rights.

·         Molly is (really) disinherited?

Sirius' uncle Alphard did make sure that his nephew had money though, so why would no one give anything to Molly? Perhaps, again, the fact that she is marrying a "blood traitor": she is anti-conformist, etc. However, we know that Molly’s brothers Gideon and Fabian fought in the first Order of the Phoenix, so were really the Prewetts such conservative? It is also possible that the Prewett family is tore apart: most of its members could have joined other families and dispersing the inheritance, so Molly didn’t received a lot of money.

4.     Other reasons

·         more powerful families than others (or… “siphon-families”)?

There is also the assumption that because of alliances and inheritance issues, the money ends up going to the same families. We can see in OotP that the Black family is extremely large: and that it integrated several other families within hers (Crabbe, Rosier, Bulstrode… ). So perhaps some families have arranged, or ended up by chance, to see a large part of the capital of the more pureblood families converge towards them (I hope I’m clear?). However, maybe we think that the Black family is central in the pbf because we only know the genealogy of the Black family (so we are biased, etc).

·         the aristocracy close to power?

In addition, certain pbf could have retained advantages by remaining close of the power or by seeking to obtain prestigious positions (director of Hogwarts (P. Black) or high-official (R. Scrimgeour, L. Malfoy, etc), which the W. family didn’t try (here, it is less a question of W’s poverty than a more or less unjustified wealth of other pbf).

·         they had money, but they spent it before HP1?

It is also possible that Molly and Arthur inherited something, but that they used it for various things: to acquire the land of the Burrow as well as to finance the construction of their house - what the Malfoys or the Blacks didn't need to do, for example. Or I can imagine them, when the Order of the Phoenix was first formed, to give funds. Nevertheless were neither Molly nor Arthur member of the first Order (Remus Lupin said it after the Molly’s Boggart scene of OotP), but Fabian and Gideon were.

·         bad luck

Finally, as with aristocrats, one can imagine that some families have simply lost a lot of money over the centuries, for reasons of laws, circumstances, etc. Well, that theory is not quite interesting, so that’s why I put it at the end, but it’s possible, so…

     Conclusion:

Honestly, I’m not quite sure that the pbf should be considered as aristocracy, even several members of pbf acts like we should. After all, Hannah Abbot, Ernie McMillan of Neville Longbottom don’t act like they are nobles. But there is discrimination in the wizarding world due to the witches’ and wizards’ blood-status (this is a fact); pbf have much more power than other families (that’s another fact); and people with power are generally also the one with wealth (at least in the Muggle world, and probably also in the Magic world, because it’s clearly not the people with special magic abilities who run the Ministry in HP)(that’s a third fact). So the pbf represent maybe a conservative aristocracy after all. Maybe.

(Frankly, I don’t know how to conclude. But all of this were theories, maybe we are going to learn more things with FB, etc. Anyway, thanks for reading!)

                    - f r a n ç a i s -

(bonjour les francophones)

Évidemment, la principale raison est que M. Weasley est le seul de la famille qui a un emploi, et Molly et lui ont 7 enfants (je ne compte pas Bill, Charlie, Percy et les jumeaux comme des membres de la famille qui travaillent, même s’ils le font (tout du moins le long d’une partie des bouquins) et qu’ils donnent probablement une part de leur salaire pour aider le reste de la famille).

Mais ce qui est étonnant dans la pauvreté de la famille Weasley, c'est qu'ils sont une famille de sang-pur – et les sang-purs qu’on rencontre ne sont jamais pauvres.

Avant de continuer: je suis consciente que la famille Weasley est la seule famille pauvre de l’univers d’HP (et Lupin, le seul autre personnage pauvre, l’est pour des raisons et dans un contexte différents). Leur vraie richesse, c’est l’amour et le soutien qu’ils s’apportent mutuellement, leur courage, leurs actions morales et leurs convictions – à l’inverse de la famille Malefoy (même si les liens familiaux restent la chose la plus importante chez les Malefoy, mais on diverge). Néanmoins, c’est une explication « narrative » : je veux dire par là qu’ils sont pauvre car JKR l’a choisi dans le but de transmettre un certain message. Notre objectif à nous, c’est de savoir les raisons de la pauvreté des Weasleys à partir du lore, de l’univers – et donc selon les règles et le canon – d’HP.

(abréviations : W = (les) Weasley fsp = familles de Sang-Pur)

1.     Un peu de contexte : les autres familles de Sang-Pur

La plupart des familles de Sang-Pur que l'on croise dans la saga possède un sacré capital hérité de leurs ancêtres (les Malefoy, les Black ou les Longdubat par exemple), et les autres familles (Bones, Abbot, Parkinson, etc) ne semblent pas du tout être dans le besoin. D'ailleurs, on sait que les Weasleys sont parents avec les Blacks et les Malefoy, du fait des origines Prewett de Molly (si mes souvenirs sont bons ?).

Donc comment ça se fait qu'ils n'aient pas d'argent, pas d'héritage, qu'ils n'obtiennent pas des sommes à minima non-négligeables alors qu'une grande partie des richesses des sorciers reste confinée au sein de ces familles ? C'est assez étonnant pour que ça interpelle. Il me semble qu'on n'a pas de réponse claire à ça, dans les bouquins, mais il y a des schémas, des pistes et des indices. C'est des théories, à vous de dire ce que vous en pensez!

(Pour être honnête, il existe des exceptions à la règle « fsp = aristocratie = ils ont de l'argent »: les Gaunt et les Potter. Cependant, les Gaunt sont assez particuliers - ils se sont ostracisés, donc ils n'appartiennent plus à la société et ont abandonné leur statut de famille noble. D'un autre côté, les Potter semblent appartenir à la bourgeoisie et non à la noblesse, car ils sont riches depuis seulement quelques décennies au début de HP1 (grâce à une invention d'un ancêtre de Harry). Comme la bourgeoisie et les patrons au XIXe siècle, ils se sont enrichis grâce à une industrie, donc ils ne sont pas nobles. (En outre, les Potter ne font pas partie des 28 familles, et certains membres (Henry Potter, qui a vécu début XXe) semblaient être contre le pouvoir des fps, si je me souviens bien de ce que j'ai lu sur Pottermore (ce qui est sûr, c’est qu’il s’est embrouillé avec le Ministère)). Ce que je veux dire, c’est que peut-être que les fsp ne sont pas toutes si riches, peut-être que je suis biaisé par ce qu’on voit dans la série HP avec Malfoy et Sirius… Par conséquent, toute l'analyse est peut-être pas ouf et inutile. Mais considérons que les autres fsp sont riches et nobles et que, de ce fait, la pauvreté des W doit être expliquée.)

2.     Du côté d’Arthur

·         Muriel ne mange toujours pas les pissenlits par la racine

D'abord, on sait que la tante Muriel a une grande maison, des objets de grande valeur (le diadème du mariage de Fleur), et qu'elle est très vieille. Donc peut-être qu'elle n'a pas encore eu l'occasion, en passant l'arme à gauche, de transmettre ces richesses que détient la famille Weasley au sens large – ou n’a pas voulu le faire. Cette vieille chauve-souris en est capable, j’en suis absolument certaine.

·         Arthur déshérité ?

Aussi, on n'est pas à l'abri d'une question de testament. Arthur est définitivement anticonformiste : avec sa passion pour les moldus et son amour et sa tolérance inconditionnels, il a donc pu s'attirer les foudres de certains membres de sa famille et se faire déshériter. C'est quand même peu probable, car on sait que la famille Weasley, à la différence de beaucoup de familles, ne voulaient en aucun cas être comptée parmi les "28 familles", celles recensées à par un ancêtre de Nott comme étant les vraies familles de Sang-Pur. Chez la famille Weasley, le progressisme semble ne pas être l'exclusivité d'Arthur, car de mémoire, le bouquin sur les 28 familles est paru bien des décennies avant la naissance d'Arthur.

3.     Du côté de Molly

·         des droits de successions sexistes ?

De la même manière, pourquoi Molly n'a-t-elle pas hérité d'argent ? Plusieurs solutions là encore : peut-être que l’héritage, chez les Sang-Pur, est réservé aux descendants mâles, comme chez les Blacks avec Sirius. Le coffre de Bellatrix c'est celui des Lestrange, pas des Black, donc celui de son mari. On n’est pas à l'abri qu'il y ait une tradition du genre chez une certaine partie, conservatrice, des 28 familles, qui aurait donc fait que Molly, en se mariant à Arthur, quitte les Prewett et renonce à des droits de succession.

·         personne ne lui aurait légué quelque chose ?

L’oncle de Sirius, Alphard, a pourtant bien fait en sorte que son neveu ait de l'argent - donc pourquoi personne n'aurait légué quoique ce soit à Molly ? Peut-être, encore une fois, du fait qu'elle se marie avec un "traître à son sang" (et qu’elle soit donc anticonformiste, etc). Après, on sait que Gideon et Fabian, les frères de Molly, étaient engagés aux côtés de l’Ordre du Phénix – est-ce que les Prewett peuvent vraiment être une famille conservative, contre les anticonformistes (entendons nous, « anticonformistes » veut dire ici tolérants, humains, etc) et autres joyeusetés ? C’est aussi possible que la famille Prewell était alors déjà éclatée, dans le sens où la plupart de ses membres ont rejoint d'autres familles en dispersant l'héritage – donc Molly est susceptible de ne pas avoir reçu beaucoup d’argent en héritage à cause de ça.

4.     Autres raisons

·         des familles plus puissantes que d’autres (ou les... familles-siphons ?) ?

Il y a aussi l'hypothèse que du fait des alliances et des questions d'héritage, l'argent finisse par se diriger vers les mêmes familles : on voit bien dans OotP que la famille Black est extrêmement étendue, et qu'elle a intégré plusieurs autres familles au sein de la sienne (Crabbe, Rosier, Bulstrode…). Donc peut-être que certaines familles se sont arrangées, ou ont fini un peu par hasard, à voir converger vers elles une vaste partie des capitaux des familles de Sang-Pur plus mineures (j’espère que c’est clair ?). Après, on est peut-être biaisés par le fait qu’on ne connaisse que la généalogie des Blacks, du point de vue des Blacks, et par conséquent, on a l’impression que la famille Black est plus importante que les autres (un peu une famille clef, nœud).

·         l’aristocratie proche du pouvoir ?

De plus, certaines familles ont conservé des avantages en se mettant dans la poche le Ministère ou en restant proches du pouvoir, en cherchant à obtenir des postes prestigieux (directeur de Poudlard ou haut-fonctionnaire), ce que n'a pas fait la famille Weasley (ici, c'est moins une question de pauvreté des Weasleys que de richesse plus ou moins injustifiée chez les autres).

·         ils ont eu de l’argent, mais ils l’ont dépensé avant HP1 ?

C'est aussi possible que Molly et Arthur aient hérité de quelque chose, mais qu'ils s'en soient servi pour diverses choses : faire l'acquisition du terrain du Terrier ainsi que pour financer les travaux de leur maison - ce que les Malefoy ou les Black n'ont pas eu besoin de faire, par exemple. Ou je les imagine bien, lorsque l'Ordre s'est formé la première fois, donner des fonds. Ni Molly ni Arthur n’en étaient alors membres (on le sait car Remus Lupin le dit après la scène de l’Épouvantard de Molly pendant OotP), mais c'était bien le cas de Gideon et Fabian.

·         la faute à pas de chance

Enfin, comme chez les aristocrates, on peut imaginer que certaines familles aient simplement perdu beaucoup d'argent au fil des siècles, pour des raisons de lois, de circonstances, etc. On ne va pas se mentir, c’est pas très intéressant comme théorie, mais c’est techniquement possible, donc bon, voilà.

    Conclusion :

Honnêtement, je ne suis pas sûr que les fsp doivent être considérées comme l'aristocratie magique, même si plusieurs membres de ces mêmes familles agissent comme si nous le devrions (après tout, Hannah Abbot, Ernie McMillan et Neville Longdubat n'agissent pas comme des nobles). Mais il y a une discrimination dans le monde sorcier en raison du statut de sang des sorcières et des sorciers (c'est un fait); les fsp ont beaucoup plus de pouvoir que les autres familles (c'est un autre fait); et les gens avec pouvoir sont généralement aussi ceux qui ont de la richesse (au moins dans le monde moldu, et probablement aussi dans le monde magique, car ce ne sont clairement pas les gens particulièrement doués en magie qui dirigent le ministère dans HP) (c'est un troisième fait). Donc bon, peut-être que les sang-purs sont représentatifs d’une élite noble et conservative quand même, en définitive.

(Franchement, je ne sais pas comment conclure. Mais tout ça c’est des théories, nous allons sûrement apprendre plus de choses avec FB, etc. Bref, merci d'avoir lu !)

Newt Scamander art!

Hope you like this!!

Newt is definitely my favorite character from all the FB serie, and also by favorite Wizarding Works character along with Remus Lupin.

Anyway, Eddie Redmayne does such a brilliant job at playing Newt!
