what she says: I’m fine

what she means: so at the quidditch world cup, the veelas’ dancing brings harry and ron within an inch of diving to their deaths. is this pure luck (in which case, how many audience suicides went unreported at the event) or has the bulgarian ministry of magic overseen trials to determine the terminal mass of veela dancing required to induce suicide, and so planned the mascots’ show just so? but that seems much too ~lawful~ for veela, so what—

Zeus: ah yes paris he has the greatest judgment

Paris: *is immediately and successfully bribed*

Paris: *instigates a ten year long war*

Paris: *dies*

It’s really special that harry has to walk out into the forest to die.

DH begins with harry having to break the protective charm on the dursleys’ house, told he can never return. And, as hogwarts has always been established as Harry’s true home, his chosen family so to speak, jkr’s decision for his death to take place outside the castle is significant. Apart from all the other super powerful symbolism in “The Forest Again,” we see him leaving the bounds of this home, of his own will, to save those he loves. I don’t know that harry’s death could have been as powerful or “right” if it had occurred within the castle—certainly not without the measure of free will/bravery he has to summon. And—more ring theory we all know—hagrid carries him BACK INTO THE PROTECTION OF THIS HOME, whose inhabitants are still there to stand with and for him. (Proving for the last time, of course, that “hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.”)

odds are I prefer the scott bradlee’s post-modern jukebox version of a n y t h i n g

watching this on repeat + queen’s “who wants to live forever” = a very specific and pleasing aesthetic

sorry hun

honestly,

no fate is worse in all hp canon than that of helena ravenclaw. imagine being harassed, poss abused, and then murdered by the same man and then he follows you into the afterlife. for eternity.

alright y’all. so aberforth saved harry & friends two (2) times, three if you count fighting at the battle of hogwarts. I can only recall albus e v e r directly saving harry (much less ron or hermione) in the atrium of the ministry, and tbh he was saving harry in order to have him slaughtered later/enjoying a good dick measuring contest with voldy rather than engaging in a true altruistic rescue of harry. aberforth did not care for harry/harry’s cause or really have a horse in the race at all any more than your average alignment:good character/disenchanted order of the phoenix member. dumbledore, on the other hand, staked everything on harry and, further, purported that the “flaw in the plan” was how dearly he cared for harry. yet, a stranger to the plot and plight of harry acted against his endangerment to a far greater extent. thus, I would contend that dumbledore’s capacity for love, his greatest champion, was negligible at best, as well as thoroughly manipulative and, regardless of his espousal of/complicated relationship with the “greater good,” selfish at heart. in this essay I will,,,
