#Do they ignore that acab includes Auror Harry?

I am so so so picky about fic one time I closed a fic because someone said “muggle jeans” instead of just jeans okay they wear jeans in canon so how are muggle jeans different 🤨
#Are they too soft? Are they too mean?#Are they too American??#Are they flippant about house elves?#Do they ignore that acab includes Auror Harry?#Do they play up the Dursley’s abuse? Bc it’s already bad enough and sometimes it feels like ppl don’t take child abuse seriously#One time I closed a fic because Hagrid called Harry ‘my boy’#Hagrid would NEVER call him that#Slughorn calls him that but Hagrid doesn’t#Is the prose clunky and overwritten with everyone explaining themselves in very clear and precise detail?#Do they treat Draco like their perfect golden delicate beautiful elf prince#While Harry is just a coat rack on which to hang fantasies of perfect love?#Anyway my toxic trait is that I like maaaaaaybe 5% of the fics I ever open

notes for when i rewrite the entirety of harry potter. note: many of these are inspired by my favorite headcanons and fan arts, this is a rewrite for the people.
harry is gay and poc
harry does not become an auror, he has a music career
harry is 100% a skater boy with a group of punk muggle friends. he’s acab and anarchy all the way
his friends include a pan genderfluid, an asexual transboy, and a latina nb.
harry is rebellious because the dursley’s were so strict- he 100% dyes his hair abright color with walmart hair dye
draco has internalized homophobia but ends up with harry after his arc
hermione is a black trans lesbian and has the ultimate bromance with ron
hermione is single by the end of the book but it is implied that she and the lesbian in harry’s band get together
luna is an nb lesbian, 100% the type to wear the magical equivalent of lesbian earrings
ron starts off ignorant and lowkey homophobic but learns to be accepting and strives to educate others about accepting stuff (and also that he’s asexual ahem)
harry and ron go to the yule ball as bros
ginny is bi and starts off crushing on harry but ends up with luna
ginnys hair gets progressively shorter as the series goes on
the dursley’s are homophobic but dudly learns to be accepting despite that
werewolf’s are not actually bad and do not join wizard h*tler. fenrir greyback accidentally infected lupin and feels bad for it
wolf star canon
dumbledor’s morally grey nature is acknowledged and explored
house elves are paid, because fuck slavery. they are underpaid though, and hermione advocates a livable wage. she is not treated like a maniac for this.
goblins aren’t portrayed as greedy assholes, because why the fuck not.
hijab mcgonnagal? hijab mcgonnagal. (i haven’t researched this enough to make actual points, sorry >-<)
hagrid isn’t stupid, because he deserves better
voldemort is hot, because a) we shouldn’t villanise ugliness and b) charisma gets more people to join
adding religious and racial trauma! when voldemort says purebloods he means straight white christian purebloods!
harry is good at math, scarily good.
harry smuggles pens and pencils into school to write with. fred and george start a black market for them.
harry’s dad 100% dated at least one dude
no snape redemption arc, also umbridge fucking dies
sirius is a chaotic good, a better person than in the original books, and doesn’t die (wolf star reunion!)
less of harry jumping into conclusions and more of him just going with things because everything just gets weirder and weirder and there’s nothing he can do about it
ron is a hella good strategist and negotiator
dumbledores will is fixed. i don’t know how but it is.
dumbeldore isn’t gay, his sexuality is not discussed because he is an old man, that is in the past, and his morality is much more interesting.
harry isn’t a twink.
