✨🩷Parvati and Padma Patil at the Yule Ball🩵✨

This was by far the biggest challenge and the biggest fun to make. I wanted to do these girls justice, because as we all know, the film costumes were atrocious. BUT, I want to say that just because Parvati and Padma have Indian heritage, it does not mean they would wear a sari to the Yule Ball. In the books, they wore robes with gold bracelets (read: bangles). So, I explored different options for their dress robes. I imagined they received the dress robes in the post by their mum. And she had lovingly put the outfits together for her girls, passing on jewellery that had been in the family for generations, finding their new homes with the twins. Bangles and hair clips and necklaces and earrings. Gorgeous pieces they wore at the ball with pride.

My personal favourite design is 2. What are your thoughts?

Final note: hot pink and turquoise are not exactly my favourite colours to work with. So, that too, was a challenge. I’ll be happy to leave the pinks, purples and turquoises with lavender and the Patil twins for now :)

I just randomly remembered that Ron Weasley and Padma Patil's child in that AU Cursed Child timeline is named Panju Weasley 😭😭😭 PANJU WEASLEY. As if Parvati and Padma's horrendous Yule Ball dresses in the Goblet of Fire movie weren't bad enough, they had to introduce Panju Weasley. NO ONE NAMES THEIR CHILD PANJU IN INDIA. Haven't the British committed enough atrocities against us? They never stop 😭

No, seriously. What is this? The actresses probably had better clothes in their closets. I know because I definitely do.

let me explain the difference between forced and genuine inclusivity

(a rant)

Most of the time, even if there is a character who is brown they are so very wrongly represented, like Parvati and Padma Patil in Harry Potter: the clothes they were wearing were not just plain; they were a cultural trainwreck

Look at her dress.

The Ghagra or Lehngha (skirt), she is wearing had pleats in the front. These are usually worn in a sari which is a completely different dress. A ghagra is a very elaborate skirt, and has a gown-like fall

The blouse she's worn is practically a t-shirt, which doesn't quite resemble any of the Indian clothes. In a Kurti, the shirt-like top is much longer, and is anyway not worn with a lehnga. In a Ghagra Choli the top is a very short blouse.

Its like a *very bad* mix of like 2-3 Indian dresses

Also, Indian dresses are never so plain. Even day-to-day clothes have a pretty embroidery. My grandmom's tablecloth has better embroidery

Judging by the dress the costume designers were goin for, it should have looked like this

I understand why a costume designer in the UK would not understand the specifics of Indian clothing, but it is funny how all other clothes were well thought out and this is just - not even culturally accurate.

I do not find somebody talkin in my language or eating my food cultural appropriation; it is encouraged infact. Insulting and not portraying that culture properly is the real problem.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Ron: Good morning, pal

Ron: So, how long have you been a Slytherin headboy?

Harry internally: SHIET

yeah the way the Marauders fandom treats the girls is sad but have you seen how the Lightning fans treat those girls? Fleur Delacour, the Greengrasses, the Patils, Cho Chang, Pansy Parkinson, Nymphadora Tonks, Lavender Brown, Ginny Weasley, Luna Lovegood, are all constantly bullied and put down for literally no reason

[led-bloody-zeppelin]

not enough people take advantage of the fact that the golden trio era took place during the nineties for my liking. ginny would have had the rachel green haircut, exclusively worn sportswear, and blasted the spice girls on her cd player at every given opportunity. lavender and parvati would've slayed every single fashion trend that occurred throughout the decade. they watched clueless about a million times on the television set that they somehow managed to smuggle into their dorm. everybody assumes harry is grunge bc of his flannels, baggy jeans, and ratty converse but in reality it's just dudley's hand-me-downs. literally so many decade-accurate headcanons could be made but no one is stepping up and taking the opportunity smh

*Seamus texting the Gryffindor groupchat* Seamus: Hm...Guys...We have a problem Seamus: The toilet is smoking Seamus: Should I get Professor Minnie McG or...? Hermione: PARDON?! DID YOU SAY THE TOILET IS SMOKING?! AND YOU EVEN DARE TO ASK IF YOU SHOULD GET PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL?! YES, YOU SHOULD! Neville: Smoking? How did that hap-? You know, I don't even wanna know Dean: Did you set the toilet on fire or what? Ron: The toilet is smoking? How does that even happen? Harry: Smoking? Seamus, how the fuck did you manage to do something that not even Fred and George did?! Parvati: So that's where the smoke is coming from Lavender: And the smell Seamus: Where are you guys that you can see and smell the smoke? Parvati: Commom room Seamus: Can one of you get Professor Minnie McG then, please? Lavender: I'll go, I already had to leave to a date, so I might as well get Professor McG on my way to my date

One thing it hit me when I was scrolling through Harry Potter stuff and I was like, "Oh lord....how did they survive 7 years in Hogwarts" and it was "HOW THE FUCK did the Patil Twins and Cho Chang like not freak out at the fact that Hogwart's Food had no Rice or Noodles"

Like Hogwarts is British, the amount of Rice they are going to get would be from Welsh Rice Puddings, Irish Dunmurry Rice and low chance of Cornish Game Hens with Wild Rice Stuffing, but OH HELL NAW there are no Noodles.

Cho Chang and the Patil Twins must be screaming internally being like,

"Where the Fuck is my Briyani?"

"Where is my Mala Xiang guo when I NEED IT?"

"What do you mean there isn't Chongqing Mian?"

"They don't even have Tikka Masala? WTF?"

And so in Every Fibre of my being, my headcanon is that the Patil Twins and Cho Chang hang out at each other's Houses so they can finally get their Asian Food.

They also make Electricity or Steaming spells to run a Rice Cooker or just Steam a bowl of Rice they got from a bag of Rice and packets of Noodles they brought from home.

Imagine waking up in the Middle of the Night and it's just Cho Chang studying near the Fireplace while having a whole set of Guò Qiáo Mǐxiàn, like she got a platter of Quail Eggs, Ham Slices, Chicken Slices, Vegetables, Rice Vermicelli and a pot of Hot Boiling Soup from her Cauldron Levitating over the fire in the fireplace and just looks at you and be like, "Sup"

🌌✨Lavender at the Yule Ball✨🌌

There’s so much pink and purple in this, I think I might’ve gone colour blind… But it’s sweet and feminine and that’s what I wanted 🩷💜🩷

I like the shapes of the dresses. The whimsical, fullness of all options. I’m curious about your thoughts ;)

"Lavender really likes you, Ron. Can't you patch things up with her? She has been crying since the day you two broke up"

"I am sorry, Parvati. I know I treated your friend horribly. She deserves better than me"

"it's about Hermione Granger. Isn't it? You fancy her"

"bye, Parvati"

Okay, I'm so tired of people not appreciating dorms in Harry's time in school.

So much of the Marauders' lore is built around their time in the dorm, and I get that this is not the case with Harry's generation because there isn't much attention given to it in the books, but just imagine

They spent just as much time in their dorm as the Marauders/the Marauder era girls did. Best beleive so much of their friendship and so many memories were acquired and built in those rooms. It was similarly awkward in the first year for them. They similarly helped Harry with his nightmares. They probably all shared snacks, clothes, school supplies and argued on who took a shower so long that there was no more hot water left in the morning and they had to wait an another hour for it to heat up (I don't care that it's literally a wizard school, let me live my fantasy)

Hermione was probably more cautious in her dorm and then the girls helped her loosen up a little after the first year, and just imagine how many gossip/girl therapy sessions they had. And the first time that Hermione probably appreciated it fully is after the Yule ball, when the boys ruined her evening, and she was surprised to find how similar her thoughts and opinions were to the girls, and so they talked and ate sweets and made face masks the whole evening after that.

Come on you guys, appreciate the goddamn bonding tools that the dorms were
