uh noT TO MENTION LOOK AT THAT LITTLE KISS HE BLOWS HER IN THE THIRD GIF LIKE HOW COULD YOU NOT LIKE HIM HE’S ADORABLE YOU HEAR ME
I was just awoken damn
*sighs LOUDLY*
Why are we all overlooking the best part of these gifs: the moment where Angelina, who has clearly been watching this exchange, comes over to Hermione like oHHh MY GOD LET ME sEEE
Sensibly Named Child: Dad, what if the hat puts me in Slytherin?
Neville: Then it means you really are a Slytherin. Do you have any idea how hard I begged to be a Hufflepuff? How hard I argued with the hat against Gryffindor? And you know what, it turns out the hat was right and I pulled the sword out of the hat and killed the snake. It’s a magical hat and you’re an eleven year old who thinks Axe works to attract girls. You know nothing, listen to the hat.
i wonder if harry was ever slightly embarrassed about the second task i mean they took cedric’s girlfriend and victor’s girlfriend…and then they took harry’s ron.
excuse u ron is the best ok don’t ever insult my son again
has anyone ever before been so comprehensively torn to shreds in their life tho
My favorite part about that line is that it implies that Gilderoy Lockhart was a more competent teacher than Dolores Umbridge. And that may be the biggest insult in the entire series.
Imagine twelve year old Harry not even knowing how awful his childhood with Dursleys had been until he gets to the Burrow.
Imagine him seeing Percy asleep with a book on his lap, and being baffled that a kid might feel comfortable enough in his own home to be so vulnerable in the living room.
Imagine Molly coming up to the attic to say goodnight to Ron and Harry, and Harry glancing at Ron when he hears her footsteps, trying to figure out what they had done wrong that day.
Imagine him asking George who does all the house chores, and thinking it’s a joke when George answers, “we all do.”
Imagine Ginny pestering Arthur with questions over the Daily Prophet, and Harry trying to shoot her warning looks to stop it! but then Mr. Weasley looks up and patiently answers every single one.
Imagine Bill popping in for a visit one evening and Harry being floored when Bill stops to chat with him.
Imagine Fred chasing after Harry in the yard, playfighting, but Harry actually begins to run for real fear of being hurt.
Imagine Molly burning something on the stove my accident and tossing it, imagine Harry mentioning to Ron, offhandedly, “she could’ve given that one to me, it’s what I eat at home when I mess up dinner” and not knowing why Ron is horrified.
Imagine Harry seeing what a normal, functioning family looks like, and realizing the absence of love in his own life.
yknow the more jk rowlings world falls apart in america (race relations, international history, population, etc) the more i like to think that america just straight up doesnt have the statute of secrecy. european countries are falling over themselves hiding magic but come to georgia and theres a drunk redneck wizard wingardium leviosa-ing the shit out of a tractor to the delight of his drunk redneck muggle buddies in a walmart parking lot.
wizard on muggle violence is prevented by virtue of there being like a 50/50 chance that muggle is packing heat. muggle on wizard violence is prevented by knowing that wizard can give you boils spelling LIL BITCH on your forehead if you try to start something.
america is the weird redheaded stepchild of the magic world.
im not gonna stop reblogging this until this is the next Hot Fanon
english muggles come back to england and suspicious wizards meet them at the airport.
‘did you witness any strange or inexplicable acts while you were in america?’ they demand.
the english muggles just laugh in their dumb fucking faces. mate, it’s america.
what’s the difference between a werewolf and an animagus?
english wizard: *two hour lecture on legal history*
american wizard: six beers
@jumpingjacktrash congrats ive read hundreds of comments on this dumpster fire of a headcanon and yours is the best
People of Color and Where to Find Them (aka Fantastic Beasts’s Severe Lack of Representation)
BONUS:
Actually, this didn’t bother me. I mean, it was AMERICA in the 1920′s. The only reason there were POC in the movie at all is because the American wizarding society had their segregation based on magical heritage rather than skin color. Still, POC would not have been able to mingle with white no-mags, and in a place like NYC, I’m guessing there wouldn’t have been a separate borough for wizards-only. So POC wizards probably could not have, for example, lived in Tina and Queenie’s apt complex, or used the front door at the bank, or gone skating at the park, or shopping in the bakery, or been seen basically anywhere except in the Magical Congress, which is where we saw them. Also, I appreciated that the non-human singer was also a non-white version. I’ve always thought there would be feature variations akin to race in non-humans, but aside from fanart, I’ve never seen, for example, a Tolkien elf who was less than lily-white. In HP, all the goblins and house-elves look the same, but surely there are genetic differences across the globe–unless house-elves and goblins only exist in the UK and America? (Unlikely).
oh, it didn’t bother you? you’re probably white.
this post isn’t for you. fuck off.
AMERICA. NYC. HARLEM. in the 1920′s looked like this:
the harlem speakeasy in the movie?
white as a toilet. spare a racially ambiguous elf singer. couldn’t even make it a black witch. we had celestina warbeck mentions in the books, why not have a black witch singer?
it’s lazy, it’s thoughtless, it’s myopic, and borderline racist.
so, i reiterate: fuck off.
I think snuggleswithmuggles needs to re-open a history book. Harlem was literally one of the biggest turning points for jazz in the 1920′s and it was a hotbed of music and culture. How could someone not know that? This was taught in schools.
This movie is whitewashed as FUCK. It’s not accurate even though it claims it’s trying to be
Also, segregation didn’t apply in speakeasys, which were illegal to start with. They allowed the races to mingle freely, including interracial couples, both het and same-sex. Big Harlem venues like The Cotton Club were white-only (except on stage, which was all Black), but speakeasys? Mostly Black, mixed with some white people. (Source: my g- grandmother and g-g aunt)
In the 1920s in New York, blackness was very much in vogue. It was cool. White people wanted to go to the Black part of town to experience the culture and soak it all in. So the white Harlem reimagining not only erases Black people, it erases the fact that white people were obsessed with Black culture back then, maybe even more than today.
The idea that everything was automatically segregated before the 1960s is false. My white rural grandmother taught both black and white children in a one room school house in Lancaster County Pennsylvania before she married in the ‘20s. Yeah, Amish country, where people to this day vacation to bask in a simpler whiter world that never was as simple or white as they fantasize.
