If I'm honest I think the way the Deathly Hallows were made into a theme in the HP books is much more interesting than the whole Christ allegory, especially since it's a bit more original. I mean, sure, the Tale of the Three Brothers borrows heavily from the European storytelling tradition as filtered through the homogenized lens of the Grimm Brothers - the number three, the two older brothers being rash and unthinking and the youngest being wise, the outwitting of a dangerous foe, the lesson that brute force and bending nature's order will only end badly, etc. But there's still something interesting and original there, and I find that much more exciting than pinpointing how Christian tropes manifest in a children's story that follows them without building on them or raising questions.

What I find particularly fascinating about the Hallows theme is the way it connects to the characters, and how the three brothers and the objects they represent come to be reflected in three of the most key characters in HP:

Harry, Voldemort, and Snape are so inextricably connected, but even though the only moment they're all in the same place is when Snape is killed, it feels like Snape's the one whose journey to that moment is the most clearly laid out. It's the third time we know him to be in the Shrieking Shack: the first, when he's nearly killed by Lupin-turned-werewolf but escapes unscathed, and the second, when he corners Lupin and Black in PoA and is knocked unconscious sustaining a head wound. With each visit to the Shrieking Shack he inches closer to his own death metaphorically.

It's no secret that each Hallow is connected to or representative of one of these characters.

The Deathstick/Elder Wand is Voldemort: he's its penultimate wielder and even before possessing it, his own wand might as well be a death stick. He kills with impunity and without remorse. It's said several times in the series that ultimately all the death and destruction Harry, Ron, and Hermione fight against comes down to Voldemort; even the Death Eaters do what they do in his service. (And, while I take issue with the simplistic and naive perspective it conveys, the story makes it clear that as soon as Voldemort dies, the chaos he has wrought on the wizarding world is already beginning to be set right again.) Harry meets Voldemort in the forest at the end of DH in order to meet his death because it's Voldemort who brings it about.

The Resurrection Stone is Snape: we find out in DH that he has spent the entire septology haunted by the heartbreak and regret losing a loved one caused, and everything he's done has been in service of her. Though he never possesses the Resurrection Stone, he might as well - we see through his patronus that the memory of Lily is with him "always." Interestingly, it's also the Resurrection Stone that sets him on his final path - it's the stone in the ring that curses Dumbledore's hand, leading to Snape agreeing to kill him, and to him making the Unbreakable Vow. Killing Dumbledore draws him into Voldemort's trust even more, but also puts a target on his back. So, like the second Peverell brother, Snape's main drive is a departed loved one, his devotion to whom ultimately dooms him. The more he tries to keep her alive and honor her memory, the more she draws him to his death.

As in the Tale of the Three Brothers, death claims both the first and second brother.

It's the third brother who escapes death and meets him on his own terms through his use of the Invisibility Cloak. Harry literally wears it into the forest at the end of DH and throws it off to meet his death. Harry starts the story having escaped Death and working his way towards it on his own terms. When he dies, it's because he is ready and he chooses to - and once again, he escapes it. Harry is also closely connected to the youngest Peverell brother, being descended from him, and as per the Beadle the Bard's story, the cloak gets handed down from parent to child so Harry is its rightful owner.

Finally, there's the character of Death, whose parallel is, reluctantly but determinedly, Dumbledore. There's an irony in his ownership of the Elder Wand, in that he learned from the mistakes of his youth and understands and eschews its capacity for death and destruction. Even so, he becomes a character who plays a key role in the death of several other characters, not least of whom are Snape, Harry, and Voldemort. His main goal throughout the series is to bring about Voldemort's death. In the process, he sacrifices both Harry and Snape (not to mention countless others). Dumbledore is also the person who gives all three Hallows to their ultimate owner, Harry. In the process, it's from Dumbledore that Voldemort takes the Elder Wand, and it's through Dumbledore's actions that Snape is doomed by the Resurrection Stone, not to mention he's the one to give the Invisibility Cloak to Harry. When Harry escapes death as a baby, it's Dumbledore who leaves him with the Dursley knowing he will return for him later (or will do so through a proxy), sort of - but not quite - foreshadowing that death will come for Harry when the time is right. When Harry is killed by Voldemort, it's Dumbledore who meets him in Kings Cross limbo.

Interestingly, of these four characters it's only Voldemort who is not connected to all three hallows. Dumbledore has, at some point, had each in his possession, and at the end of the story Harry possesses all three and is the only person who knows where the Resurrection Stone is in the forest. Snape is the only person we see use the Invisibility Cloak without an invitation to do so from Harry (in the Shrieking Shack in PoA), and he's the only one aside from Dumbledore and Harry to be connected with the Resurrection Stone. Though he never does so, he was meant by Dumbledore to possess the Elder Wand, and it's the direct reason he's killed. There's an interesting parallel there, based on what Dumbledore says to Harry in King's Cross Limbo:

Harry is obviously the Specialest Boy™️ because he's the protagonist, so he's fit to unite the Hallows (which he never quite does - he uses the Resurrection Stone while wearing the Cloak, but drops the stone well before he physically takes possession of the Elder Wand and wields it). Dumbledore nevertheless has the Cloak for a decade between James' death and giving it to Harry, by which point he has had the Elder Wand for much longer. He takes possession of the Stone when he takes Marvolo's ring, and in the process experiences a parallel to the second brother's story (similar to Snape) as his efforts to reconnect to a deceased loved one instead sets him on the path towards his death. Snape, as stated above, is similarly connected to all three Hallows at one point or other.

As interesting as I find all this, I feel like these parallels and, really, this theme, could have been worked out more throughout the septology and been dealt with in richer, more wide-reaching ways. Maybe it didn't occur to Rowling (boo, hssss) until she was well into writing the series, whereas the Horcruxes clearly had, since Voldemort's inability to die is established in PS and the first Horcrux crops up in CoS. There's a clumsiness in the way Hallows vs. Horcruxes becomes the great dilemma in DH, and if the themes each represents had been established early on and been an undercurrent through the whole series it would have been more powerful.

That's not to say that the themes connected to each Hallow - death, loss, choosing wisdom over power - aren't overarching ones on their own. But Harry's contending with them against Voldemort's focus on that power and his fear of death alongside his cavalier implementation of it ends up being a bit flat, because Harry doesn't waver. It's one of the things Dumbledore points out when they discuss the prophecy, that because Voldemort killed his parents, Harry was never at risk of being seduced by all that Voldemort represents. So even though the themes are there, the tensions between them aren't really present in Harry - again, the protagonist - until the second half of the last book. Not until HBP do we start to see Voldemort's past and understand the parallels between him and Harry, and not until the Prince's Tale chapter in DH do we really see how Snape fits into this trio of "abandoned boys." The fleshing out of his character was sacrificed for the sake of the big reveal of his motivations and I think it would have been more interesting to have moments throughout the series that turned out to be foreshadowing along the theme of the Hallows, and not just ones that clarify his allegiances through the insight into his life.

#death #deathly hallows #interesting #hp #i agree #Specially since i don't like when stories are... Basically religious alegories #I don't like when religion is central to the plot #or the main theme #If i wanted to read a story with religious themes i would read the bible

Clearing up misconceptions

So a lot of people seem to believe that Abraxas Malfoy married Druella Rosier, however...

Druella Black[4] (née Rosier) (fl. 1951-1955) was a pure-blood witch who married Cygnus Black III. The couple had three daughters: Bellatrix, Andromeda, and Narcissa Black. " (Harry Potter Wiki)

So who did Abraxas marry? Honestly.... We don't know. All we know is that however it is, they are definitely not a Rosier. Perhaps he married an Avery, Macnair or Mulciber.... Or someone from a different pureblood family entirely.

Another common misconception, constantly being perpetuated by fanfiction cause people just LOVE the idea of a Teeny Tiny Wizarding world :

Dorea and Charlus Potter are James Potters parents.

They are not, as you can see right here:

"James Potter I (27 March 1960 - 31 October 1981),[1] also known as Prongs, was an English pure-blood[3][4] wizard and the only son of Fleamont and Euphemia Potter.[12]" (Harry Potter Wiki)

So what Charlus and Dorea are of James? Well, either They are his grandparents or, my own personal take, his Aunt and Uncle.

Ofc, you are free to write them as his parents if you want but not only you will be essencially erasing and/or flat out ignoring the freaking inventor of Sleekeazy's Hair Potion but also systematically destroying every chance Progstar/Starbucks, Jegulus, Sirry, Drary and whatever the heck the oficial ship name for Regulus Black/Harry Potter is (Regarry? Hagulus? Hargulus???) ever had of happening.

Look, i get why someone would want to destroy Sirry and Regulus Black/Harry Potter and as much as i love progstar, it is not that popular so it's not that surprising that someone would want to kill it. But Do you seriously want to obliterate two of the three most popular crack ships on this fandom, just so you can pretend the wizarding world is even more inbreed than it already is?

Wich, if you want to avoid incest, would leave you with the following options for partners for Harry :

Fred Weasley

George Weasley

Charlie Weasley

Bill Weasley

Cedric Diggory

Cho Chang

Neville Longbottom

Ron Weasley

Hermione Granger

Ginny Weasley

Marcus Flint

Oliver Wood

Dean Thomas

Theodore Nott

Blaise Zabini

Astoria Greengrass

Daphne Greengrass

Pansy Parkinson

Susan Bones

Hanah Abbot

Fleur Delacour

Gabrielle Delacour

Victor Krum

Luna Lovegood

An Oc

Remus lupin

Albus Dumbledore

Severus Snape

Tom Riddle

Minerva McGonagall

Amelia Bones

Alastor Moody

Evan Rosier

Barty crouch jr

Mulciber Jr

Avery Jr

Fenrir Greyback

Xenophilus Lovegood

Rubeus Hagrid

..... Or Cargo of any kind

Not as big of a selection as you would have by just leaving things as it is, but it may still please somebody so, whatever.

I guess the choice is up to you

Just remember that this is not canon.

What was so funny about Mulciber attacking Mary Macdonald with Dark Magic that Snape described it as "just a laugh"?

"Let’s make something as clear as possible. We have no idea if Snape and Lily were even present when whatever happened to Mary Macdonald happened. That is how little information we have available. The only two people in the series that discuss it. And we don’t even know if they were there at the time. Let that sink in for a moment.

Snape says it was just a laugh. Lily says it was Dark Magic. And states thatJames and the Marauders do not use Dark Magic when Snape tries to compare what they do with what was done to Mary. She also considers Mulcibers sense of humour sick. There are a few ways to interpret this.

Snape was there and is lying/does consider it just a laugh when someone that isn’t him is being bullied. Lily was also there and finds what was done to Mary worse than what James does in SWM.

2. Snape wasn’t there and has heard secondhand that it was just a laugh or bit of fun that got out of hand. He appears to believe said account. Lily was there and knows it was worse than SWM.

3. Snape was there and considers it just a laugh. Lily wasn’t there and from what other people have told her about it considers it to be Dark Magic and worse than SWM.

4. Neither Snape not Lily we’re there. And both of their assessments come from secondhand information from people who either sided with Mary or Mulciber. People who could quite easily have lied to one or both of them.

One is the most unlikely possibility. Since Lily doesn’t argue that Snape let his friend Mulciber do xyz to Mary Three is likewise unlikely.

As Snape being there would have likely been mentioned to Lily if she heard the news secondhand and she’d make the same argument as above.

Snape being friends with someone doing evil stuff behind his back makes sense given the arguments she makes in canon. Not Snape already being aware of what his friend is doing and letting it happen.

That leaves two and four. And personally I tend towards four.

Given Lily does not say something like “I was there Severus it definitely wasn’t “just a laugh”” But as you’ll notice I’m talking probability not certainty when I say I find it most likely neither of them were present for what happened.

We have a fairly wide disparity of reactions but if we assume that what Mulciber did was Dark Magic and both Snape and Lily’s friends told the truth here’s what I think happened; Mulciber cast the Imperius Curse on Mary under his breath. And forced her to do relatively harmless but embarrassing and humiliating things for his and some mates amusement.

If we assume they’re prejudiced and cruel let’s say kissing the hem of their robes, calling herself a filthy Mudblood and things to that effect. If confronted by Mary’s friends or a teacher he lies and insists it was just a powerful Confundus. Or outright denies it was him.

As no one can prove it was Dark Magic/ that Mulciber did it he gets away with it. Facing light punishment at worst. Snape’s friends tell him of the stuff they forced Mary to do in a way that he finds amusing in the telling. He is convinced they were just having a laugh and it wasn’t as bad as what James has done to him. Lily’s friends tell her they’re sure Mulciber used the Imperius Curse. And she gets told how Mulciber wasn’t even punished properly for it. How upset Mary was etc. She believes it’s considerably worse than what she’s seen James do. Because she saw what it did to the person afterwards.

Now for a mature adult it’s pretty obvious this kind of mental violation is deadly serious even if no physical lasting harm was done. But a teenager hungry for acceptance could relatively easily not linger on that form of harm. And think “they weren’t actually hurt so where’s the harm?”.

If my scenario is accurate and Snape was told outright that it was Imperius not Confundus they used. He should not have found it funny. He ought to have considered it a significant violation of another person. But we can say exactly the same of everyone in the crowd during SWM. Remus and Lily are the only people outside that have any issue with what Snape was being subjected to. SWM was slightly less severe (provides my scenario is accurate and everything that Mulciber did was cruel but petty) but the people there actively witnessed someone being hurt and tormented. No secondhand accounts. No distance from someone else being upset and hurt. Yet they laughed and found it amusing.

Should we consider the people in the crowd psychopaths or as empathic as Death Eaters? Snape is a teenager. The people in the crowd are teenagers. Teenagers can be very s**tty under the right circumstances. (...) Snape is wrong to find it amusing yes. Just as the crowd is to find his humiliation amusing. But it doesn’t make him abnormal, sub-human, evil etc. He did choose a pretty dark path and took time to turn back from it as much as he did. But people like Remus who know it’s not cool to laugh at someone else’s suffering. But who don’t do anything to help/stop other people laughing are a bit depressingly rare at secondary school. People like Lily who for whatever reason can tell when things go too far and actively try to stop it even more so. " (Analysis by Alex Forbes)

It’s time to talk about Harry and Ron.

You may hear the canon shippers and antis shit on Harry and Hermione’s relationship and say things like “Harry and Ron would make more sense” or “are more compatible together than Harry and Hermione are”, when in actuality, they’d be pretty terrible together. And I almost have to say that it’d be worse than Ron and Hermione.

And a large part of this is Harry unhealthy reliance on Ron. Take Goblet of Fire for example. When Harry and Ron are no longer talking, Harry missed him a lot. And I cannot account that Ron missed the same amount as Harry did, but he was at least socializing with his peers, while Harry was just moping around.

There’s also a severe lack of “balance” in their relationship. Throughout the series. Ron can be accounted for saving Harry at least twice (sacrificing himself in the 1st and saving Harry in DH, in the frozen pond). He also saved him from the Dursleys a couple times. He also remained by his side when Harry was having a bad time in OOTP. But Harry? The best thing he does for Ron is motivating him on his quidditch abilities. That’s it.

And then. One could assume that, since Ron does all these things, Harry feels indebted to Ron and his family, that’s why he’s close to being a doormat to him (mostly agreeing with him and being instantly forgoving). And that’s not a good thing. Being a doormat means you’ve got no self-respect for yourself.

And lastly, are they truly best friends, ones that can change and inspire as they grow up together? Do they really understand each other? Being best friends for 4 years and still not understanding a friend’s main problem is kinda telling. And then, 2-3 years later, he has a hard time empathizing that his best friend still has family out there that could die. Do they give advice to each other when one of them has something on their mind? The only advice given that I recall, is Ron giving Harry the “12 Ways to Charm Witches” book (yes, he gave Harry this book, even though Harry didn’t have a problem asking out Parvati and Padma, who were known to be “really pretty”, to the Yule Ball).

“oh no, my audience has begun to guess the big twists of my story and are accurately predicting what will happen!”

incorrect response: write the rest of the story to be as twisty, shocking and counter to expectations as possible, regardless of whether this is a logical or satisfying way for the plot to go

correct response:

Why did Snape hate Hermione?

"The assumption of this question is wrong. Snape never hated Hermione. But there is one thing to be noted though. While Minerva or Pomona awards points to Gryffindor when Hermione answers their questions but Snape is being mean to Hermione. Have you ever noticed why ?

“An answer copied almost word for word from The Standard Book of Spells, Grade Six,” said Snape dismissively -Severus in DADA class, HBP This is Snape’s problem with her.

Hermione is a bright witch, there is no denying that. But she never opens her mind. I am not saying this to make her look bad - it’s perfectly fine to know the course book cover to cover. But that doesn’t mean Snape should be a fan of that.

“How are you doing that?” demanded Hermione, who was red-faced and whose hair was growing bushier and bushier in the fumes from her cauldron; her potion was still resolutely purple.

“Add a clockwise stir —” “No, no, the book says counterclockwise!” she snapped.

She is seeing with her very eyes that Harry’s potion is doing better and still reluctant to take his advice. Maybe Severus is the kind of teacher who expects more from his students, who likes to push their boundaries. And that’s why he’s being mean when Hermione answers his questions from the books. And to confirm this, remember Harry’s occlumency lesson in OOtP ? He appreciated when Harry improvised by using shield charm against Snape.

“Well, Potter . . . that was certainly an improvement . . .” Panting slightly, Snape straightened the Pensieve in which he had again stored some of his thoughts before starting the lesson, almost as though checking that they were still there. “I don’t remember telling you to use a Shield Charm . . . but there is no doubt that it was effective . . .” (analysis from Reddit)

Why was Peter Pettigrew friends with the marauders though he never did anything?

"He became an unregistered Animagi and helped them break the rules in secret. He tacitly and explicitly supported James’ bullying - whereas Sirius and Remus are shown to represent one or the other but not necessarily both simultaneously. He hero-worshipped James and Sirius. He kept James’ secrets about the unregistered Animagi faithfully even after joining the Death Eaters. He kept James’/Sirius’ secret about Sirius nearly fatally attacking a fellow student, for a fun joke. He helped them sneak around at night, break the rules, steal food from the kitchens, and roam around Hogsmeade. He kept their secrets about endangering innocents and stayed faithful no matter how many innocent people were nearly hurt, infected or killed - there were apparently many “near misses” according to Remus. Indeed, his devoutly loyal, submissive side is in evidence as a teenager in the bullying scene - and even, differently, in the climactic scene of “Prisoner of Azkaban”. He cheered on James as he attacked his victims. He applauded him breathlessly for his athletic accomplishments. He put himself down and denigrated himself to make his friends sound, look, and feel even better.

He made them feel and look like heroes and made them believe he saw them as heroic figures who really could do no wrong. He helped others see them as glamorous chivalrous knights who had all the answers rather than the complicated band of law-breaking bullies they were. He promoted the myth of James’ pure shining heroism and that he couldn’t do wrong no matter what he actually did. His hero-worshipping attitude to his friends helped spread the myth they could do no wrong. He did a lot for his friends. He covered for them and shared the risk for their misdeeds. He kept their secrets no matter what they did. He kept the Animagus secret (until the fifth book at least, and then possibly under compulsion) from both Dumbledore and Riddle, two of the greatest mind-readers in the magical society ever. He protected them from opprobrium. He protected them from the consequences of their own actions. He helped them bully people they disliked.

He participated in the bullying himself when they thought it was fun or needed him. He supported them no matter what they did. He defended them whatever they did. He protected them whatever they did. He kept their secrets no matter how dark. He protected them from the anger of their victims or the possibility of comeuppance. He helped make the Map. He helped make prefects like Lily who might enforce the rules and ruin their fun look silly with his tacit or explicit continued support of James no matter how bad or relentless the abuses or corruption committed. He supported their goals and plans. He supported their creativity. He added his own creativity and innovative ideas to theirs. He believed in their aspirations. He became an Animagus for them when it can be dangerous to get incorrect and he couldn’t tell anyone, risking his position and safety for their sake. He did a lot for his friends. Even as an adult he admits he doesn’t deserve Harry’s mercy as he is begging him for it. He clearly felt a loyalty to his friends. He cared about them. He idealized and adored them. He may even have loved them.

He just also betrayed them. Peter was a talented wizard whose friends underestimated him. Even Lily, who knew him indirectly through her husband, apparently believed his innocence and trusted him unquestioningly to the end - his dread and seemingly inexplicable agitation never make her wonder if he, not Remus, was passing information. Rather she assumes he is upset about the McKinnons, even as she is bothered enough by it to mention it in passing to Sirius in a letter that could easily be captured or read or censored by the enemy. Peter was good at fooling and manipulating people. He was not bad at being a Death Eater; Voldemort psychologically tortures and lays into him for deserting, not for incompetence. Tom correctly notices Peter’s cowardice, but not incompetence, in his humiliation of him. (He does make comments about what he sees as Peter’s incompetence at other moments in Goblet of Fire, but he’s not singling Peter out here, but rather blowing off steam and/or trying to guilt, mock, or intimidate the man. And anyone would seem incompetent when you’re relying on the person for recovery of your body and soul after twelve years of torturous semi-existence, worse in its way than Sirius’ solitary confinement.) And Tom being Tom is going to choose the most accurate words of criticism, because that is most likely to sting and hurt. Pettigrew, who they, in a slightly patronizing way, James and Sirius at least, who they allowed to hang round with them, it turned out that he was a better wizard than they knew. Turned out he was better at hiding secrets than they knew.

MuggleNet interview Emerson Spartz and Melissa Anelli – “The MuggleNet and Leaky Cauldron Interview Joanne Kathleen Rowling: Part 2” BY MUGGLENET · PUBLISHED JULY 16, 2005 · UPDATED JANUARY 8, 2018 EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND

Peter seems incompetent, and it’s true he’s a bit anxious and awkward, but he’s actually a very competent and physically courageous guy. He’s not a good guy, but he is a very effective and capable warrior and spy. He out-maneuvers the character whom we are told is one of the top Occlumens (mind-concealers) in magical society. He returns Voldemort to life and sets in motion the second civil war. He fools his friends, talented and capable though they were. He fools Severus in the first civil war. He makes Severus look like an idiot for parts of the second (Prisoner of Azkaban). He sets Remus up as a suspect for treason, then frames Sirius for his violent crimes (14 Muggles murdered). He tears apart friendships during the first war and his information keeps the Potter family isolated, vulnerable and alone. And of course, ultimately kills all but one of them. He persuades Harry to grant him mercy. He persuades Sirius and Remus to accept Harry’s final word. He gets a public reward - a silver hand! - out of Tom Riddle of all people. He gets much of what he wants. He’s a skilled manipulator who is good at making others do his will. His timidity makes him seem helpless or weak, but in reality his vulnerability is in part a veneer and part weapon which he uses carefully to specific effect. True, he’s desperate, fearful, and full of confusion and rage, but he’s NOT AN INCOMPETENT CHARACTER.

He comes out winning many of the power struggles in which he engages, excepting those with Tom. His sinister personality and underlying rage and complexity do not make him incompetent. He’s as tortured and tragic a character in his way as Severus or Sirius. Of course, he’s not quite as tragic as they because is a bad guy - casually murderous, working for devious political ends, and treasonous. But he’s not incompetent. His friends and McGonagall assumed he was.

Even Severus never suspected his devious talents and capacity for deceit. He regards the suggestion he was the spy as ridiculous and sees the mere mention of this theory as evidence of sinister brainwashing. And Tom and Peter successfully collaborated to prevent Severus from realizing Peter’s true loyalty, though this accomplishment is as much - maybe more - Peter’s as Tom’s. Peter fools the people around him - everyone around him - into believing what he wants them to believe. He often appears a nice and harmless fellow, like “honest Iago” whom everyone trusts. He seems mild-mannered and timid, so it’s hard for people to accept him as a threat.

But like Neville, Peter had hidden talents and a surface of awkwardness that concealed inner control and strength. And like Snape, he became an excellent and highly subtle warrior and spy. Unlike Neville, or Snape, he chose to use his talents for evil rather than good. What’s extra poignant about his choice is that the Order accepted him - albeit with some condescension, to be sure. Unlike Snape, he had an opportunity to go back on youthful bad choices but chose instead to keep justifying and re-committing them. He’s not the deferential, mild-mannered image he likes to project. Far from it, hard as that is for those surrounding him to accept or believe. His Animagus abilities help with this, but his skill in espionage is more than magical talent. He’s genuinely good at manipulating, reading, subtly or not so subtly influencing, and persuading others, and hides his true character and emotions successfully behind a facade. Peter’s not incompetent. He’s angry and complicated, and he conceals his true power behind a facade of self-abasing or - denigrating weakness. He might have a masochistic or sadomasochistic streak, and he appears to value his survival above all else.

He also seems to prefer the back seat or at least an enabling role to being in the driver’s seat of power, though he enjoys proximity to it. But he’s not incompetent. Rather, he uses what seems to be weakness to obtain his own ends - whether that be protection, support, belonging, validation, vindication, survival, influence or power. From the perspective of seeking protection or power at any cost, he manages to get a lot done. He’s the only Death Eater to be given a public (and very unique and special) reward - Tom’s usual rewards for service are Azkaban, abandonment, or torture. Peter manages to get public praise and a beautiful reward out of Tom, albeit leavened with humiliation and some heavy psychological abuse. That’s the closest Tom Riddle comes to giving followers hugs. It’s hard to imagine Tom offering public praise, or any praise, even to someone like Lucius who is more politically powerful and equally loyal - indeed he never does. Another person he thought of as his loyal servant he brutally murders at the scene of his worst nightmares for gain.

Peter is skilled at achieving a range of objectives and capable of varying his tactics intelligently according to situation. Peter is one of the savviest, toughest manipulators in the series and a skilled wizard to boot. Any reading of the character that departs from those facts is bound to get him wrong. Even Severus doesn’t beat him solely from superior power but rather because He Loved Lily - the edge to his Occlumency which Voldemort Knew Not. Peter, in short, is a talented dark wizard. In some ways his dark side is scarier for the way it is slowly revealed and built over the course of the books.

Though his dangerous side is revealed slowly, he’s behind the rise of Voldemort in the first war as well as the regeneration of him in the second. His role in the Ministry fiasco - telling the DEs Sirius was an Animagus, so Sirius had to be imprisoned again - helped kill Sirius. Admittedly, this was probably not his intent or goal; Sirius had shown him mercy albeit at Harry’s demand a year before. He just wanted to keep Tom happy with him. Still, he is, on the whole a rather ruthless character. But he was not incompetent. That is others’ assumptions but not his reality. No, that’s just a mask he finds convenient, or that he started wearing until it hardened into what even he believes is his true personality or role. Underneath remains a hard simmering core of fury, fragility, and fear. When Severus tries to warn Harry about Sirius, he’s right that James and Lily were disastrously mistaken to trust a friend. He’s right that Harry is echoing their mistake in blindly trusting those same friends. He’s wrong that Harry’s mistake echoes his father’s in precisely the parallel he is making. Neither were wrong to trust in Sirius. But he’s correct that they were wrong to trust in one of the Marauders even if he doesn’t know which, and that this led to their death. Harry wasn’t ignoring danger from Sirius, since that didn’t exist or not in the sense Severus assumed.

Later in the fifth book Harry will rush into danger heedlessly and ignore danger from Tom and Umbridge. So the theme of ignoring relevant dangers repeats itself, and as in the case of the Marauders’ mixup the results are disastrous and a wartime death of a loyal soldier, along with the endangerment of other(s) is the result. It’s interesting that Severus - and through him the narration - was correct to draw a parallel between James and Harry here even if he got the precise nature of the parallel wrong. Peter really was a threat - and the pattern of recklessness and misplaced trust repeated itself through the generations. At any rate Peter was, indeed, more complicated than he seemed. The others were wrong to underestimate him - disastrously so. He wasn’t incompetent. He was just ruthless and dangerous, and willing to betray his friends for his enthrallment with Voldemort.

He was not a nice guy. He was actually a pretty terrifying character. In some ways made more terrifying for the nuanced and layered revelation of that character throughout the series. But anyone mistaking the facade for the brave and rebellious bully underneath is simply not relating textual interpretation to the facts. Peter was more similar to his teenage friends than he initially seemed. And rather more capable of violence. " (analysis from quora)

A semi headcanon of mine that really good wizards, especially animagi, can turn without needing a wand. It's not like a werewolf that can't control it—actual animagi can. They're like very skilled wizards but about their animagus' form. It's an act of a will and a skill.

So in my fics Sirius can always, always turn without needing a wand and sometimes without making a noise. It's just something I accepted for myself at some point and it's very convenient.

My explanation to Pettigrew needing a wand to turn is basically because a) he spent too many years as a rat without turning b) he's not a very skilled animagus and not even a very skilled wizard. Sure, he taught himself with the rest of the boys, but he always needed a wand to do that. The boys helped him. He wasn't good at it. I think it fits his personal treats and his character very well. He's shitty in almost every aspect.

Now that I think about that, maybe I'm forgetting, but when Remus started turning in Prisoner of Azkaban (movie, i forgot the details of the book), Sirius threw himself at him to protect the kids. And when Remus threw Sirius aside, he got up and turned but I don't remember him using a wand. Whilst Pettigrew definitely stole a wand in order to turn (and Harry had to Expelliarmus him).

Later, when Padfoot is thrown aside and werewolf!Remus ran towards the howl, Sirius turned again with a slight pop sound while not having any wand. He whined as a dog and collapsed as a human. Only Harry had a wand when he ran after Sirius.

So I guess it's not exactly a headcanon but an actual canon? It's just that in every fic I always read and still read how one needs a wand to turn, but in my version (and to my understanding) Sirius definitely doesn't need one. He's just that good (because really, he taught himself how to be one and he isn't a registered animagus, but he is damn good at it!). He was and still is a natural.

I just love that little fact.

An Analysis of Percy Weasley

"Percy Weasley was the third of Arthur and Molly’s seven children.

He was not only the middle child but also the loneliest.

Bill and Charlie are two years apart. A unit.

Percy is closer in age to the Twins.

But the twins are a unit by themselves.

Ron and Ginny are the babies and a unit.

Poor Percy only had his rat.

No seriously, Percy had his siblings alright, but the dynamics where not the same, he was a little too young to be part of Bill and Charlie adventures, and soon they left for Hogwarts.

He could never be as close to Fred and George, who were soulmates, and liked to tease him a little too much.

Ginny and Ron were too young to play with him, then he was off to Hogwarts, himself.

It means that Percy was the closest to Molly.

Molly was more protective of Percy because she saw how all his siblings paired up and he was left alone.

In return, Percy listened and did everything Molly asked him too.

He was the Perfect Boy. The Prefect Boy and the HeadBoy.

He took it to heart and rigidly followed her advices.

He was extremely well behaved, he kept to the rules as if his life depended on it, worked himself to the extreme to get his 12 Newts.

What do we want to be Prefects for?’ said George, looking revolted at the very idea. ‘It’d take all the fun out of life.’ Ginny giggled. ‘You want to set a better example to your sister!’ snapped Mrs Weasley. ‘Ginny’s got other brothers to set her an example, Mother,’ said Percy loftily. ‘I’m going up to change for dinner …’ He disappeared and George heaved a sigh. ‘We tried to shut him in a pyramid,’ he told Harry. ‘But Mum spotted us.’ * Dinner

J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Harry Potter #3)

He forsook most of the fun and Quidditch and adventure his siblings had, especially, the twins.

He then got the most boring and safest job in the Ministry of Magic, like Molly wanted.

He stayed home, unlike his siblings, who couldn’t wait to go to adventure, one moving away to another continent.

None of the children stayed at the Borrow, apart from Percy.

So when his father and mother told him that he was wrong to do exactly what they taught him, “follow the rules Percy”, “be a good boy Percy”, “work hard and you will get rewarded Percy”.

Percy Weasley finally snapped.

I think Percy leaving the Burrow and cutting out his parents was hugely caused by the feelings of resentment and anger at his family, and mother in particular.

Percy was also hurt.

Percy needed that time apart to sort out his feelings and accept that while his mother’s advices where sound, sometimes, breaking the rules and being a bad boy is necessary, especially when Voldemort had taken over, he is the one dictating the rules.

So no Percy, was right to put some distance with his family, otherwise I believe things would have escalated worse. As their tempers exploded.

Thought, he was wrong for saying untrue and cruel things to his father and wrong to cut all ties with his mother.

And also wrong to believe anything Cornelius Fudge said, when he was so thoroughly inside Lucius Malfoy’s Pockets.

But when he did come to term with those feelings and accepted his wrongs, he was brave and devoted enough to come back and apologize and admitted how much of an idiot he was.

“I was a fool!' Percy roared, so loudly that Lupin nearly dropped his photograph 'I was an idiot, I was a pompous prat, I was a - a -' 'Ministry - loving, family - disowning, power - hungry moron,' said Fred. Percy swallowed. 'Yes I was!” J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter, #7) " (analysis Taken from Quora)

Snape didn't Hate Harry Potter

"Yes, yes, I can hear the jeers.

He just could never reconcile the two extremes that he saw in Harry and, the Boy-Who-Lived didn’t make matters any easier for him.

Severus Snape’s character is complex. What makes it inconsistent is Rowling’s post-series revisionism and to some extent, her inability to realistically configure multiple shades in a relationship.

Snape never loved Harry. He didn’t like him either.

Harry’s general attitude towards education made matters worse. If Harry’s appearance alone wasn’t enough to remind Sev of James (and by extension the Marauders), Harry’s aloofness towards education and academic slouching sure did. If only Harry had ever shown the academic conviction of his mother, Snape wouldn’t be as disappointed in Harry as he was. Yes, it was a lethal dose of Potter’s son meeting the criteria of a disappointing student and that pushed Snape over the edge.

Mediocre, arrogant as his father, a determined rule-breaker, delighted to find himself famous, attention-seeking and impertinent.. That’s how Snape describes Harry to Dumbledore.

Tell me, which of the above is false? Harry didn’t want to be famous and that aside, most of Snape’s remarks are true.

In comparison to Snape, Lily, James, and Sirius, Harry was indeed mediocre. Harsh judgment, yes. Did he break rules? He reveled at it. Imagine yourself risking life every time to save the boy, and he’s busy roaming around the castle and beyond at night. Snape was rather restrained. If it were Minerva McGonagall in place of him, Harry would have been sent back packing to Privet Drive.

Did Harry seek attention? The way I see it, he did. It was subtle and understandable because he never received any when he lived with the Dursleys. At Hogwarts, he did.

He didn’t like the fact that he was famous because of his parents’ sacrifice. But that’s another thing, isn’t it? Whenever Harry was moved to sidelines, he’d be irky, cynical, and passively aggressive. Precisely why Harry was good at activities that required chivalry and daring - more action, less thinking - and actions that usually provided immediate gratification over slow, subtle activities that required patience and introspection. Harry was in James territory there, not Lily. And, Snape would be the first to see that.

Was Harry impertinent? He knew that Snape saved his life at the end of book one. Did he go and thank Snape for it? He didn’t. Sure, Snape would have scoffed him off, but such a gesture would no doubt have made Snape felt good. James’ son thanking Snape, and while looking at Harry, he’d see Lily’s eyes too, those words coming from those eyes would have pleased Snape very much. Harry didn’t know about this of course and he didn’t care. It wasn’t in Harry’s nature to care about other’s emotions, especially someone whom he hated.

Here’s a hilarious bit: what happens next? Snape catches Harry and Ron wishing that Snape had left or been sacked. Yes, that’s how you pay him back for saving your life. Not for one moment did Harry consider that this man saved his life. That’s very inconsiderate, even for a 12-year-old.

At the end of book three, the trio attack Snape instead. That would have resulted in immediate expulsion if Snape had wished so. But Harry was there enjoying Snape’s head getting bumped on the roof on their way out of the Shrieking Shack. And, why was Snape even there? The man who had saved Harry’s life before had come rushing to save Harry, Ron, and Hermione again. For all he knew, Sirius was this insane mass murderer and he didn’t care once before leaping to their rescue.

The raw deal is that Severus Snape hated the James he saw inside Harry. And, Harry wouldn’t budge either. Rather than negotiating with Snape, or introspecting about it, even talking to Dumbledore, Harry played fire with fire. Just like Snape was a special case for James; he had become a special case for Harry, and Harry enjoyed it no bits whenever he could humiliate Snape.

One benefit we have to award Harry is his age. It is understandable for a pre-teen boy to react that way. However, as he grew up, he showed no sign of growth as a person. He didn’t stop to think about how Snape’s actions and behavior didn’t intersect. By book four or five, you’d think Harry would have developed enough critical thinking and boldness to tackle the issue head-on. No way.

During the Occlumency lessons, Snape didn’t bully Harry like he used to. In fact, he was rather polite for his usual standards. It was Harry who was trying to instigate Snape, if anything.

We experience the story through Harry’s perspective and this is one of the key cases of third-person-limited narrative bias. Harry Potter isn’t a reliable narrator of emotions. The same as Hagrid wasn’t a reliable judge of character. Harry’s hatred for Snape—Harry hated Snape more than Snape hated Harry—veiled his judgment. During their years as pupils, both Snape and Lily were excellent students. From what we know, that year produced brilliant students.

Snape, Lily, James, and Sirius were in some ways prodigies in their own rights.

Snape and Lily were more into the finer elements of magic, while James and Sirius were superstar students, all-rounders.

As an academician, Snape was a traditional teacher. He had rigid philosophies and set high standards for his students. Snape values diligence, determination, and single-pointed vision. While biased towards Slytherins, Snape was also strict in his evaluation of Hermione. Hermione was a diligent and bright student, but she rarely showed innovation or inventiveness. Her knowledge was bookish, which she admitted. Snape didn’t appreciate this trait as much as other teachers. So, that was his way of pushing Hermione to go beyond what’s there in front of her, beyond the safety and security of books. At the end of the series, she did, did she not?

That’s not to say Snape’s teaching methodologies were correct. As with Snape, his intention is almost always faultless, his actions always faulty. It’s not a surprise because Snape didn’t form close relationships with anyone after Lily. He didn’t have good mentors. It doesn’t help that Snape was closer in age to Harry than he was to McGonagall—who was herself a rather cold and distant teacher. But that’s a discussion for another day.

Snape and Harry shared a complex relationship. Neither liked the other. Snape wasn’t particularly fair to Harry and as was the case with James, Snape seemed like the only one who stood up against the two. While everyone was praising the Boy-Who-Lived, Snape started harassing him from day one. That must have rattled Harry and reminded him of a certain Vernon Dursley. With his newly equipped powers this time around, Harry wouldn’t take it lying down. And, there began a relationship that was doomed from the beginning. It didn’t help that Snape was a vindictive bully, or Harry the reckless agitator. This is Snape and Harry, in a nutshell, or how I’d like to think. "

Snape wasn’t obsessed with Lily.

Here are some signs of obsession, and there is no canon evidence iirc to support these signs.

Obsessive Love Disorder: Behavior, Symptoms & Treatment

Needing constant reassurance from the person they are obsessed with due to low self-esteem

According to Joanne, Snape was interested in joining the death eaters partially because he was insecure. It wasn’t Lily he turned to to help him with his self-esteem issues, it was the proto death eaters.

Obsessively talking about their loved object

I hardly ever see Snape talking about Lily in the books.

Making repeated calls, texts, and/or faxes to the love object

Replace this with making repeated owls to Lily. I don’t see any proof of Snape doing that.

Unwanted intensive attention to the love object

There is nothing in the books to suggest Snape didn’t want to feel what he did towards Lily.

A tendency to have extremely good or bad (not balanced) feelings about someone

There is no proof in the books either way of this. We don’t know if Snape recognized Lily’s flaws but chose to dismiss it as ‘nobody’s perfect’ or if he thought she was perfect in every way.

Trouble focusing on work, recreation, socializing, or other aspects of their lives outside of the object of their affection

Snape was able to keep up with the demands of being a head of house and a professor of potions with many different students from many different year groups. He was able to keep up with the demands of being a spy and protecting innocent people (only those whom I could not save). Had Snape been focusing too much on Lily , it would have been difficult for him to focus on work.

Even as a teenager Snape’s recreational activities were improving potions and learning about the dark arts, as well as creating his own spells. If he was obsessed with Lily it wasn’t severe enough to distract him from other recreational interests and responsibilities he had.

Attempts to monitor or otherwise control their love object's life and activities

A lot of people think Snape’s unfinished sentence ‘I won’t let you-’ is proof of controlling behaviour. They jump to the assumption that Snape was going to say ‘I won’t let you spend time with James Potter.’

Personally, I theorize based on the context that Snape was going to say ‘I won’t let you defend him to me!’

I mean if someone was defending the person who hurt you for years, it wouldn’t be wrong for you to react the way Snape did.

Why do I think that was the ending of the sentence?

Because I believe context matters and right before Snape said ‘I won’t let you-’ Lily was telling him off for not feeling a certain way and was in a way defending James Potter.

Besides that flimsy ‘I won’t let you-’ that people use as evidence for Snape supposedly being a controlling person, there is no evidence that points to Snape trying to monitor or control Lily’s life.

Excessive joy, to the point of relief, when able to get in touch with or be with their love object

Excessive joy was not what I saw Snape feel for Lily. Most of the time Snape seemed to feel content around Lily. We see that in their childhood. When he and Lily had an argument he felt annoyed and bitter around her. But never have I seen Snape feel excessive joy around her.

So if Snape wasn’t obsessed with her, did he love her?

The ancient Greeks believed that there are eight different types of love. Love isn’t always a good thing, it depends what kind of love the person feels for you. It’s like mushrooms. Not all mushrooms are equal, not all mushrooms are good. Not all kinds of love are equal, not all kinds of love are good.

Most of Snape’s love for Lily is what the greeks call philautia.

Philautia is “self-love”. Because Snape only understood Lily in terms of how she made him feel and not necessarily how he made her feel.

That’s why I call it philautia because Snape was focused on himself.

Otherwise he wouldn’t have been calling people mudblood behind her back.

Philautia is necessary for a healthy relationship. Both partners must love and respect themselves enough to recognize when their partner doesn’t make them feel good, and when communication/counselling/finding a more compatible partner might be necessary.

But healthy relationships balance self-love (how they feel) with love towards their partner and recognizing how their partner feels.

Snape’s love for Lily was mostly philautia and a love based too much on how somebody feels and not enough on how their partner feels isn’t a healthy one.

Why did Snape do bad things to Lily if he loved her?

Snape wasn’t only about his love for Lily. Snape had other emotions towards other things/people that contradicted his love for Lily.

Snape loved Lily, but he hated James, and his hatred of James was a contributing factor in bullying James’ son Harry. His hatred for James fought with his love for Lily.

Snape loved Lily the idea of being part of what he saw as a great and powerful group (the de’s) which also contradicted his love for Lily.

Well, that is Snape’s tragedy. Given his time over again he would not have become a Death Eater, but like many insecure, vulnerable people (like Wormtail) he craved membership of something big and powerful, something impressive. - Joanne Rowling

Think of it this way, you are a professional driver but somebody puts diesel in your car when your car needs the other type of petrol.

It doesn’t matter how good you are at driving if your petrol is not compatible with the car your driving, you’re going to have problems.

It’s the same with Snape’s love for Lily. It doesn’t matter how “good” Snape’s love for Lily was, if he had other “loves” and emotions that contradicted his love for Lily then his love for Lily would be problematic.

Snape’s love for Lily is impressive relative to the kind of person he is and the environment he grew up in. Also, Snape’s love for Lily improved a lot. It wasn’t the healthy love James had for Lily, but it was a huge improvement.

Snape’s only experiences with love was neglect (implied in text but not outright stated) a dysfunctional family home, and at worse a victim of his father’s abuse and at best a victim of having to witness it.

Snape’s other experiences with love is Lily being a kind person to him.

Snape found it difficult to emulate Lily’s goodness and the kind of love Lily had for people, and Snape’s childhood makes that understandable.

But despite it all Snape dedicated his life to protecting a child he hated, gave his life to help that child defeat Voldemort, saved innocent lives that had nothing to do with Lily, and risked his life as a spy to help in the war against Voldemort, saved Remus Lupin’s life and checked to see if Sirius was okay (despite hating them and believing they tried to kill him) partially to honour Lily’s memory and partially because he’d become a better person. Twenty-one year old Snape probably wouldn’t have saved lives (only those whom I could not save) in fact he joined a group that took innocent lives.

Snape improved a lot as a person and his love for Lily was the domino effect that led to that change. I said the domino effect. I don’t think it was the ONLY thing that led to Snape changing for the better.

Snape still wasn’t a great person. He abused children as an adult, but thirty something year old Snape was much better than his twenty one year old self, in my opinion.

I said most of Snape’s love for Lily was philautia what about the rest of it?

I think Snape had quite a bit of philia love for Lily. Nothing in the books suggests that Snape was sexually attracted to Lily. People assume that because when they think love they think romantic/sexual; without realizing aromantic and asexual individuals exist. Also, that male and female friends can love each other in only a platonic way.

Snape had too much philautia love and it made him not care too much about how Lily felt, and the consequences of that were joining a muggle and muggleborn hate group (even though Lily was a muggleborn).

But Snape had enough philia love to protect Harry, spy on Voldemort, save innocent lives, and give his life for Harry; all things he did partially because of his philia love for Lily and honouring her memory.

philia = platonic love

(analysis by Kaira Aitken. taken from Quora)

If you're a snater, then... Fine, you can say a lot of bad things about him but there's two things you CAN'T say :

No one in the Harry Potter Fandom likes him (and yes, lili_la from Ao3 i'm talking about you)

Snape was obsessed with Lily

'cause none of the two states above are true

Help me find a fict

Ok so... I tried relentlessly to find this fic but.... Nope, thus i wanna know if someone can help me :

So MC likes to read and review BL fanficts.... Ony he is a complete asshole to the authors, criticizing everything in the fics and being a literal jackass from no reason.

Then he gets transmigrated to a system where he becomes the villain in all of the Bl fics he criticized and has to not only save himself but find love in the process and his suitors follow him from one fic to another.

He starts in an A/B/O fic where he falls for the fics MC who originally was an omega but, due to the actions of the Transmigrated Troll (the Mc of THIS fict, not the A/B/O one), becomes an Alpha.

Then he goes to a fic set in a high school where the Alpha becomes the popular guy who was supposed to fall for the MC of the high school fic ( who likes to draw) and the transmigrated troll gets the heart of a dude who makes a tatto in homage of him

Then he goes to a prision fic

It was poted on whatpad and the author liked to add songs to the story and trough it, i discovered Temporary Bliss by The Cab & Be Somebody by Thousand Foot Krutch

I remember this story had like.... A frog in a black background on the cover.

Ideas for Hp problematic ship names Part 1: Weasleycest

Hi guys. So, this is simmilar to my post "Ideas for Hp ship names" but with the more problematic ships (ie Incest ships, huge age gap ships,etc). Now before we start i would like to clarify something: this is a post to give ideas of ship names to the weasleycest comunity, not a post for anyone to bash on this ships or even start a debate of why no one should ship them so if anyone wants to express their negative opinions about these ships and/or the people who ship them, then do us all a favor and...

Seriously. Wanna debate these ships? then go ahead and make your own post to debate these ships with other people.

"Chhaang or chhyang (Tibetan: ཆང་, Wylie: chang, Nepali: छ्याङ, Newar: थो:) is a Nepalese and Tibetan alcoholic beverage also popular in parts of the eastern Himalayas, Yakkha, Limbu, Dura, Newar, Sunuwar, Rai, Gurung, Magar, Sherpa, Tamang and Lepcha communities. " (from Wikipedia) & " Gin (/dʒɪn/) is a distilled alcoholic drink that derives its flavour from juniper berries and other botanical ingredients." (from Wikipedia). It also happens that Ginny can be shortened to Gin and Chhaang could also be a misspelling of Cho's last name so it kinda works out.
