RIP Helen McCrory (1968-2021)

I don’t think I’ve ever been interested in any play about the happy, successful, lighter moments of life. I think that’s a very modern, pervasive idea in our entertainment, whether it’s on Instagram or in fiction, to show only the good and the perfect side of yourself. It’s just a lie and it’s very dull, and it’s nothing that anyone should even strive for.

“Professor R. J. Lupin,” whispered Hermione at once. “How d'you know that?” “It’s on his case,” she replied, pointing at the luggage rack over the man’s head, where there was a small, battered case held together with a large quantity of neatly knotted string. The name Professor R. J. Lupin was stamped across one corner in peeling letters.

Dumbledore turned and walked back down the street. On the corner he stopped and took out the silver Put-Outer… he could make out a tabby cat slinking around the corner at the other end of the street. He could just see the bundle of blankets on the step of number four. “Good luck, Harry,” he murmured.

So, a house elf shows up in my bedroom, we can’t get through the barrier to platform nine and three-quarters, we almost get killed by a tree… clearly someone doesn’t want me here this year.

pansy parkinson → harry potter series

then a figure rose from the slytherin table and he recognised pansy parkinson as she raised a shaking arm and screamed, “but he’s there! potter’s there! someone grab him!” before harry could speak, there was a massive movement. the gryffindors in front of him had risen and stood facing, not harry, but the slytherins. then the hufflepuffs stood, and almost at the same moment, the ravenclaws, all of them with their backs to harry, all of them looking toward pansy instead, and harry, awestruck and overwhelmed, saw wands emerging everywhere, pulled from beneath cloaks and from under sleeves.

The wand of Draco Malfoy

Hawthorn wood wands are particularly common among wizards with a conflicted nature or are passing through a period of turmoil. Full of contradictions, these wands are good at performing both healing magic and curses. 

Unicorn hair core wands are faithful and consistent, yet prone to melancholy. They are the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts.

The world isn’t split into good people and death eaters. We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.
