As a Romione shipper (and huge Ron stan) I do get mad at the way films treated my ship and favorite character but then I think about Hinny shippers and Ginny fans and I feel like I shouldn’t even complain…

Yeah movie Snape didn't get to be feral. No one did. Sirius didn't get to be feral, Bellatrix didn't get to lose it - not even in Deathly Hallows - and somehow Dumbledore, described as calm with blazing eyes at his angriest, got in a fully feral moment where there was no call for one. Harry never got to lose his shit, not even when it was literally in the script that Fred and George heard him yelling through the ceiling from another floor of the house in OoTP. The scene was literally:

Harry: (Quietly) You couldn't have put any of this in a letter, I suppose. (voice wavering) I've gone all summer without a scrap of news.

Ron: We wanted to write mate, really we did. Only...

Harry: (Soft, low voice) Only what?

Hermione: Only Dumbledore made us swear not to tell you anything.

Harry: (Softly) Dumbledore said that? But why would he want to keep me in the dark, maybe I can help. (Voice wavering like a betrayed heiress on All My Children) After all, I'm the one who saw Voldemort return, I'm the one who fought him, I'm the one who saw Cedric Diggory get killed.

Fred and George: (apparate in) Harry. Thought we heard your dulcet tones.

David Yates read "dulcet tones" in the script (direct quote from the book btw, and this was the one script written by Michael Goldenberg and not Steve Kloves), and he took it literally. Despite the sudden appearance of Fred and George and how inexplicable it's made if the reference to "dulcet tones" is literal and not sarcastic. Harry's lines in the book are written in ALL CAPS, he's described as shouting, Ron as stunned, and Hermione on the verge of tears, but the scene in the film couldn't move the needle on a sound meter even if it was at max volume in Dolby Stereo.

Snape didn't get to be feral but no one else did either. In PoA during the climactic scene in the Shrieking Shack, Harry also doesn't get to scream, not at Sirius, and not at Snape. Sirius also doesn't get to be feral when he confronts Pettigrew after twelve years. The films are afraid to show strong emotions and it hurts a lot of characters and how they're portrayed. Whenever I see a "Snape didn't get to be feral" take, I never see it followed with, "and as a result, Harry didn't get to be feral back at him either" when it's clearly written in the book that Snape's feral behavior triggers Harry too. I know the Snapedom loves El Blorbo but he doesn't exist in a vacuum.

I really wish people would understand that just because actors are the people you see on screen they aren't the only ones making decisions. Bad choices were made by directors, writers, even producers. At least blame the right people for them.

She might want to get a shield for the shield. Goldenberg is a puzzling choice. He is ideologically to the left of the current Democratic administration—of which Harris is vice president—which is a strange signal to send. He is also, more importantly, a man of poor judgment. He has made a very public show of his opposition to just about every move intended to help Israel over the past decade or so.

Goldenberg was against moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem in recognition of its Jewish significance or of Israeli sovereignty; he wanted, instead, for it to eventually be moved only when the Palestinians had lifted their veto and decided they had what they wanted. Speaking of Israeli sovereignty, he doesn’t like that the U.S. recognizes the Golan Heights in northern Israel. It is mighty strange to have a “Jewish liaison” who opposes Jewish sovereignty every time he’s asked.

In 2020, he was an adviser to the presidential campaign of Elizabeth Warren, one of Israel’s loudest and most ignorant critics in the Senate. He was a champion of the Iran nuclear deal, in which the Obama administration legitimized Iran’s drive for a bomb in return for Tehran delaying its nuclear breakout until after Obama was out of office.

There are other examples, but the key point is not that Goldenberg was wrong but how he was wrong. Moving the embassy would likely trigger a wave of regional violence, he predicted. (It didn’t.) Recognizing the Golan “damages Israeli security and undermines American interests in the Middle East and beyond, while stirring a hornet’s nest that didn’t need stirring,” he wrote. (It didn’t.) The Iran deal, he said, “will create a situation in which Iran will be deterred from ever pursuing a bomb.” (It didn’t.)

It seems as though Harris’s idea of a Jewish liaison is someone who will tell the Jewish community they’re wrong.

She has a slightly different idea of a liaison to the Arab/Muslim community (her campaign combines the two). Nasrina Bargzie, Harris’s choice for Arab/Muslim liaison, has worked for the vice president before. She also has a long record of defending the groups responsible for building up the anti-Semitism crisis on college campuses. One particular example stands out: In 2012, she and her coalition presented a report to the United Nations complaining about Jews on campus who objected to the anti-Semitic activism that has become so common.

The complaint went so far as to object to Jews having Title VI protections under civil-rights law—a debate that has come roaring back now that pro-Hamas encampments have been found to have unequivocally infringed on the basic rights of Jewish students. In other words, Harris’s Arab/Muslim liaison has spent years helping to bring the anti-Semitism crisis on campus to a boiling point.

"Working hard is important, but there's something that matters even more: believing in yourself. Think of it this way: every great wizard in history has started out as nothing more than we are now. Students. If they can do it, why not us?"

"John killed him, right? Didn't he?"

"I don't care if he murdered a hundred people. We're scientists, not moralists. You know that we're all expendable. John Kirby is the future. Because of him it's possible that millions of lives can be saved."

"Only if we could have perfected the process, but there's no time. I mean, nobody's going to give us the Nobel Prize for murder."

A dor dilacerante da saudade

"Você vai me deixar sozinha e desamparada?"

"Como assim sozinha e desamparada? Estou saindo só para ver minha mãe", reagiu meu marido, sem entender minha tristeza.

Eu também não entendi. Por que estava me sentindo tão sozinha e desamparada se adoro ficar em casa, lendo, estudando e escrevendo?

"Ato falho", pensei após 21 anos de análise.

Aí me lembrei de que, quando minha mãe saía de casa, eu perguntava chorando: "Você vai me abandonar e me deixar sozinha aqui em casa, só com o papai, com o Carlos, com o Paulo e com o Nelson (meus três irmãos)?".

Eu estava me sentindo a mesma menininha de 4 anos e logo compreendi o motivo. Eu estava com saudade do abraço da minha mãe.

Não senti vergonha de ser a mesma menininha de 4 anos, pois sabia que as lágrimas de saudade representavam o mais profundo amor que já senti em toda a minha vida. Deixei que as lágrimas corressem livremente, como no dia em que quase morri ao perder minha mãe.

É uma dor tão torturante e ao mesmo tempo tão bela; é uma tristeza tão triste e também a prova concreta da minha capacidade de amar e de ser amada. É o maior legado que minha mãe me deixou: o amor incondicional.

Hoje minha mãe teria 96 anos. Ela partiu aos 62. Já são 34 anos de uma saudade que ainda dói.

Ela sonhava ter uma menina, depois de ter tido dois filhos homens.

Eu nasci para realizar seu sonho.

Eu era grudada na minha mãe: ela foi minha única proteção em uma família de muita violência, ódio, gritos e brigas.

Tinha tanto pânico que não conseguia dormir. Esperava ouvir o ronco do meu pai para ir deitar agarrada na minha mãe. Minhas noites de insônia são ainda verdadeiras sessões de tortura. Não consigo dormir sem o abraço da minha mãe.

Choro sempre que me lembro da minha mãe se lamentando baixinho: "Ou vey iz mir! Ou vey iz mir!". Aprendi muito cedo que o lamento em iídiche que traduzia a profunda infelicidade da minha mãe significava: "Ai coitada de mim! Ai coitada de mim!". Choro só de me lembrar da sua voz triste repetindo "Ou vey iz mir! Ou vey iz mir!", sem qualquer migalha de esperança.

Só mais tarde descobri que minha mãe tentou se matar tomando um vidro inteiro de Valium misturado a outros remédios. Ela ficou de cama durante alguns meses, paralisada do lado esquerdo da face. Como eu era menina, me disseram que ela estava doente porque misturou manga com leite. Como posso parar de chorar?

Aos 16 anos, saí de casa, mas nunca abandonei minha mãe. Ela nunca me abandonou.

Ela descobriu um câncer já avançado, aos 60 anos, e larguei tudo para cuidar dela nos dois anos e meio da doença. Não sei como consegui ter força e coragem para cuidar da minha mãe até o seu último suspiro.

Tinha um único pensamento: como vou conseguir sobreviver sem o abraço da minha mãe?

Ainda sinto culpa por não ter conseguido salvar minha mãe daquele inferno familiar. Sinto culpa por não ter conseguido dar a ela tudo o que ela mais sonhava ter: um marido fiel e uma família feliz. Sinto culpa por não ter conseguido protegê-la de toda aquela tortura, dor e tristeza.

Sinto culpa por não ter escutado sua história, desde a infância na Polônia, depois em Curitiba e em Santos. É o meu maior arrependimento.

Queria tanto conhecer sua história, precisava tanto conhecer minha história.

As experiências traumáticas da minha infância; o sofrimento interminável da minha mãe; o alcoolismo, a violência e a infidelidade do meu pai; as brigas, gritos e espancamentos diários; foi a mistura explosiva que me fez decidir não ter filhos. Nunca me senti capaz de ser mãe, pois continuo sendo a filha que busca desesperadamente ser amada, cuidada, protegida e abraçada.

No Dia das Mães, chorei porque não podia mais dizer: "Mãe querida, eu te amo, muito obrigada por cuidar de mim".

Quando me pergunto como vou conseguir sobreviver sem o abraço da minha mãe, respondo para mim mesma: escrevendo, escrevendo, escrevendo... Aprendendo a transformar minha dor dilacerante em beleza, meu medo em coragem, minha tristeza em lágrimas e minha saudade em amor.
