what fucks me over most about James Potter is how he felt about Peters betrayal like we don’t know what James thought, he could have 100% just instantly assumed that they tortured or killed Peter for information because we know James would never even think about one of his friends betraying him, James might have felt guilty for putting Peter through that, James might have been begging Peter for forgiveness in his final moments
‘If the Secret Keeper wishes to do so, they may divulge the information at any time (although the secret cannot be forced, bewitched or tortured out of a Secret Keeper who does not wish to give up their secret; it must be given voluntarily’ -JK Rowling on Pottermore
Lowkey one of the most heart wrenching things posted on Pottermore imo, because James and Lily knew. I’m sure James’s mind scrambled for an excuse or reason or alternate explanation as to why one of his best friends would voluntarily gave up their whereabouts, because thats just in his nature, but I honestly think that deep down he had to have known the truth. That there was no other explanation other than Peter, his best friend and fellow marauder, who he had grown up with and joked with and pulled pranks with sat through hundred of detentions with and teased and comforted and trusted with his life had, for whatever reason, wanted to divulge their location. And I think it makes James Potter’s final moments 1000x sadder.
It just didn’t say because Harry is very unobservant.
Dude, not even. Someone did a tally of how many times Harry comments on the attractiveness of a male character (Tom Riddle and Cedric mostly) vs. Ginny or Cho, his purported love interests. It’s not even close. He’s very observant. I’ll put money on “Harry grew up in a bigoted household and legit doesn’t have vocabulary for what his emotions keep doing when he sees pretty boys.”
In CoS when they try to sneak into Myrtle’s bathroom to ask her about her death, McGonagall catches them and Harry makes up the excuse that they wanted to see Hermione in the hospital wing and Minnie doesn’t give them detention and then comes this and since we all know Harry’s dumbest excuse, here’s the official suggestion to rate all of Harry’s excuses on a scale from
to
Harry Potter oscillates from 100% effort to coasting on a wave of apathy.
I don’t ship Drarry but with that being said, I will accept no other Drarry prompt than them stubbornly competing to outdo the other for the sheer drama.
It starts off when they’re still enemies in the Goblet of Fire. Draco makes a taunt about who Harry’s going to ask to the Yule Ball and how they must be from the worst of the worst lot and Harry rolls his eyes and says, “Well, fitting you say that, Malfoy, because I was going to ask you.” A perfect zing, Harry. 10/10.
But now the ball’s in Draco’s court and obviously he’s not going to pass up on the chance to humiliate the scarhead so he takes the most logical route of humiliation and calls out his bluff: “Fine, Potter, I reckon we’re going.”
But do you think Harry James Potter is just going to back down? That stubborn teenager is going to stare Draco down and say, “Reckon we are.”
Ron’s confused and Hermione’s confused and literally the entire castle is confused but Harry’s satisfied because he called out a bluffer’s counterbluff with a bluff of his own. And they just keep it up.
“I suppose you don’t even know how to dance, Potter?”
The furious teenager who spent years having to watch soapbox dramas with Mrs. Figg just glares at him in his stupid dress robes. “I know some things.”
“Prove it.”
“Fine.”
It’s like that for days until Draco makes the ultimate power move by inviting Harry to the Malfoy’s Annual New Years Eve Ball, taking out a Daily Prophet ad no less, because oh, oh, he’s got Potter now. He’ll never accept and he’ll be humiliated in front of the entire wizarding world. And do you think Harry’s just going to go down without a fight? God, no, he’s going to win whatever the hell this is because he’s Harry Potter, Draco better be worried, oh boy.
They’re still going at it six months later.
“Err—Malfoy?” Crabbe says. “Potter just sent you a dozen roses?”
“That son of a bitch! Send a box of chocolates. That’ll show him.”
what happened to the tiny little dragon pals that the triwizard champions drew from that bag????? harry mentions it being in the boys dorm later but never mentions it again like ??? if I had a tiny dragon companion i could carry around on my shoulder like a weird, spiky little bird i would literally never let it out of my sight
Harry, Hermione, and Ron are killed early in their search for Horcruxes. Voldemort orders a full invasion of Hogwarts to find the remaining ones. In a panic, Hogwarts is evacuated. One student slept through the evacuation order: 4th year American transfer student Kevin McCallister.
I would like to go on the record as saying….i hate this…….
He’d win
That is part of why….I hate it……bc I genuinely to the core of my being believe that Macaulay Culkin could probably have finished Voldemort faster than the golden trio & Dumbledore combined…………this kid could play a fake recording of Dumbledore saying “Merry Christmas ya filthy animal” with the sound of spells being fired off from the Room of Requirement and Tom Riddle would be tf out of there so fast & slip on a Portable Swamp and fall down a changing staircase…………..
I love how Voldemort dies so soon after he switches from his yew wand to the Elder Wand, because the symbolism totally matches up.
The yew tree is associated with longevity, rebirth, and immortality, because while the tree may appear to die sometimes, it can sprout again and live for thousands of years. Voldemort’s yew wand is yewsed to create Horcruxes and cheat death, and is there for him to use when he gets a new body.
And then, 3 books later, he swaps it out for the Death Wand™.
dont think i didnt see that fucking pun
nice job
@willcraftapple11 you are awesome and I think your soul and wit should be preserved for all time
