Here's an updated /slightly more realistic version of my Ginny because I am suffering from an art block and this is the only thing that turned out okayy

I find it very interesting that Voldemort is often described with a soft tone of voice or with soft, delicate movements. I believe that this further emphasizes his being a Lord also and, above all, in his ways. He is elegant, calm and charming by nature, an excellent conversationalist (for example I think of the Goblet of Fire when he talks to Harry before the Death Eaters arrive). He's not a madman (at least not a total madman) like he appears in some scenes in the films and I really regret that they forced Raplh to play him this way, because he is phenomenal at playing calm but terrifying villains.

what do you think of harry joined the ministry as an auror after the war? It doesnt quite sit right with me after all the things he went through—it felt like a damage control move from the ministry with how shitty they were handling the war as in “look he’s one of us!”. i always think that the better fit for harry is to become philanthropist

So, does it make sense for Harry to dedicate himself to hunting dark wizards? Yes.

Do I like seeing the protagonist end up becoming an active part of the establishment and, on top of that, essentially the magical equivalent of an MI5 agent? No. Because ACAB. Because the Ministry of Magic is a corrupt piece of garbage. Because working as the government’s lapdog seems pathetic to me, and to top it off, it leaves a very neoliberal message of “everything changes so everything can stay the same.” There’s no social progress—just killing the big bad villain, but the structure of society and the pillars upholding it remain untouched. They’ve replaced the aristocracy with the upper bourgeoisie, but the working classes? They can still go screw themselves.

I mean, it doesn’t surprise me because Rowling is like that—she’s a bourgeois masquerading as a progressive, but within a framework of neoliberal social democracy leaning conservative. So the end of her saga is a reflection of that.

Harry is bourgeois too—disgustingly rich, without any sense of social or class consciousness. He doesn’t fight Voldemort because Voldemort is an oppressor but because he’s bad, because he killed his parents, because he threatens him and his loved ones. There’s no ideological background to his personal fight. He doesn’t care about those things. The only one who cares even a little about how discriminatory structures in the Wizarding World are built is Hermione with the whole house-elf thing, and even she comes across as nauseatingly paternalistic about it. Very much a “white savior” type.

So yeah, the fact that Harry ends up being a magical cop and everyone else just becomes obedient sheep, neatly integrated into a society that’s still woefully behind in terms of civil, labor, and social rights compared to Muggle society—even in the ’90s—doesn’t surprise me either. They’re all privileged enough not to care about real problems. And those who aren’t privileged to start with end up becoming privileged by association or marriage (the Weasleys). So, yeah, it’s all fine.

Honestly, I can’t see Harry doing anything that wasn’t super bourgeois because, frankly, that’s what suits him. Being a war hero, spending his money, not giving much thought to how they might want to restructure society from the ground up given that it’s basically stuck in the Middle Ages… I don’t know, lol.

so I wanted to write fanfic about loki ( myths loki , not the Marvel one ) born again as draco in Harry Potter Fandom , it doesn't have much thought in it , and I will do it so I practice and ublock my art block

[silvermoon-1998]

I'm 100% sure Voldemort groomed Bellatrix.

Of course it might have been just a crush at the beginning on Bellatrix's part but I know Voldemort would milk anything to control his followers esp if one is talented in dark arts and duelling.

Caradoc Dearborn "canon" House

A friend sent me this screenshot the other day, I don't have Twitter (X) and I had never seen this.

What do you think? Do we consider the author's tweets canonical? Can we say that Caradoc was Slytherin in canon? (Can I scream with joy?)

Growing up is actually just enjoying the exact same things you enjoyed at 14 years old, but in a more gay way

Ginny Weasley 

We’re not talking about how long this took me to make ;-; 

[capriddle]

‘It was my word against Hagrid’s, Harry. Well, you can imagine how it looked to old Armando Dippet. On the one hand, Tom Riddle, poor but brilliant, parentless but so brave, school Prefect, model student; on the other hand, big, blundering Hagrid, in trouble every other week, trying to raise werewolf cubs under his bed, sneaking off to the Forbidden Forest to wrestle trolls.-

Harry Potter and the Chamber of the Secters, Chapter 17

Arrogant

“However, I do not deny that her information was invaluable. Without it, I could never have formed our plan, and for that, you will have your reward, Wormtail. I will allow you to perform an essential task for me, one that many of my followers would give their right hands to perform. . . .”

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Chapter 1

Use black humor

“I’d like to see them try,” sneered Riddle.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Chapter 13

Cheeky

For the first time, Voldemort smiled. It was a taut leer, an evil thing, more threatening than a look of rage. “The old argument,” he said softly. “But nothing I have seen in the world has supported your famous pronouncements that love is more powerful than my kind of magic, Dumbledore.”

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Chapter 20

Sarcastic

“No higher pleasure,” repeated Voldemort, his head tilted a little to one side as he considered Bellatrix. “That means a great deal, Bellatrix, from you.”

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 1

Sexual double meaning

“What say you, Draco?” asked Voldemort, and though his voice was quiet, it carried clearly through the catcalls and jeers. “Will you babysit the cubs?”

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 1

Sardonic

Ladies and Gentlemen, Lord Voldemort. And then they say it's flat or boring, but it's literally a blast!🤭😂😏

[mogomoago]

I had idea for fanfic , and I wanted some other people opinion , so imagine some Magel boy , accidentally saw the wizards and the magic really made him curious that the boy search all his life about wizard and magic and use his brain and knowledge to use magic and even though he doesn't have magic he can use and control it , some kinda like merlin , because merlin I don't think was at first a wizard , the boy have a mad scientist , funny , sassy , character , and imagine other just looked shocked frome him
