HP&WCh: “Maybe it’s Harry who calls Tom Peter Pan”
So I was looking what to work on and the first on the list is HP&WCh tomarry thing and I thought I need to figure out some details.
I don’t live in UK, hence googling.
Full-time education is compulsory for all children aged 5 to 18, either at school or otherwise, with a child beginning primary education during the school year they turn 5. Children between the ages of 3 and 5 are entitled to 600 hours per year of optional, state-funded, pre-school education.
I know I said Harry was seven but maybe not, I was basing it on my country’s ed system which starts at 7.
Petunia wouldn’t want neighbours to think smth improper, so she would probably want to dump Harry to primary at five. And tell them all how difficult a child he is.
And I’m thinking he “runs away” - disappears into his Neverland - before starting school, so it would be used by Dursleys later as an example of difficult behavior.
Maybe use a fanon bit of Harry being used to be called “Freak” and not knowing his name at the age of five.
And now that I said Neverland... I want to make Tom Riddle a sort of Peter Pan?
To be honest, his ability to fly, “angelic” looks. He could play Peter Pan. For Harry.
In Peter and Wendy, it is explained that Peter must forget his own adventures and what he learns about the world in order to stay childlike. 
Maybe it’s Harry who calls Tom Peter Pan. Because Tom can fly. Because Tom forgets forgets forgets so hard he is from an orphanage in the world without magic, where it’s all grey and dusty and cold, and food doesn’t grow on rainbows, and you don’t wake up to a world-saving missions.
Barrie states that although Neverland appears different to every child, the island "wakes up" when Peter returns from his trip to London.
It could be that The World called Tom to itself because he had magic. That the world needed magic to be healthy if the word can even be applied to such an entity. 
In the chapter "The Mermaids' Lagoon" in the book Peter and Wendy, Barrie writes that there is almost nothing that Peter cannot do. He is a skilled swordsman, rivalling even Captain Hook, whose hand he cut off in a duel. He has remarkably keen vision and hearing. He is skilled in mimicry, copying the voice of Hook and the ticking of the clock in the crocodile.
Peter has the ability to imagine things into existence and he is able to feel danger when it is near.
Do I need to reread the books about Peter Pan?..
I just love the concept of PeterPan!Tom. (Not literally, but parallels and details, in childhood, the concept that he could be. Could pretend. Could play.)
Of Tom being able to fly thinking happy thoughts: "lovely wonderful thoughts". Of Tom reading Peter Pan and being sure he could do it. Without fairy dust, or maybe he even tried to find some? 
Four years old, he tried and felt he levitated an inch from the ground. Tom needed to be higher, just raising into the air was too hard, he didn’t have enough happy thoughts - no wonder, he was left in this place since his mother died, other children avoided him, he rarely got new books to read. He climbed onto the roof of an orphanage and jumped. And can you imagine what he felt that day when he was able to fly?
Speaking of the abilities in the previous quote, I think Tom would have been able to do some of it. And his magic would flourish in the environment he could wield it in without constraints. Tom would use his magic every day just to survive, to fight for his world - and win.
Peter Pan was like a Young Demigod of the island, as far as I remember. If Tom get to feel that, no wonder he would get addicted to that level of power, felt he deserved it. It’s rather fitting, in a dark sad way, that he became a Dark Lord, with intentions of being as close to a god as he could get.
In the original play, Peter states that no one must ever touch him (though he does not know why).
could use it? at some point?
Pan, a minor deity of Greek mythology who plays pipes to nymphs and is part human and part goat
It is hinted that Wendy may have romantic feelings for Peter, but unrequited because of his inability to love.
👀 are you seeing what i am seeing?
In Barrie's novel Peter and Wendy (but not the original play Peter Pan), it is stated that Peter "thins them out" when they start to grow up. This is never fully explained, but it is implied that he either kills them or banishes them.
Oh my fucking god.
And now I need to google the dates for films. And books.
Peter Darling by Austin Chant (2017), a romance between an adult Peter Pan (who is a transgender man born as "Wendy") and Captain Hook.[31] Winner of the 2017 Rainbow Award for best cover and best transgender science fiction/fantasy.[32]  (c) Wiki, List of works based on Peter Pan
HOLY SHIT
Okay, back to the list. (copied from W)
1904 – Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up (play): Peter brings Wendy and her brothers to Neverland, where he has a showdown with his nemesis, Captain Hook. After the play was first staged in 1904, Barrie continued to make changes until the script was published officially in 1928.[1] This play was later adapted as a novel by Barrie.
1906 – Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens: an origin story where the infant Peter flies away from his home, takes up residence in Kensington Gardens and makes friends with the fairies. The story first appeared as a chapter in Barrie's The Little White Bird published in 1902.
1908 – When Wendy Grew Up – An Afterthought, a short sequel play first staged in 1908, but only published in book form in 1957.
1911 – Peter and Wendy (novel), later published as Peter Pan and Wendy, adapted as a novel from the play, it also incorporates events from When Wendy Grew Up – An Afterthought.
1928 - Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, the first publication of the script of the play.
Walt Disney's Peter Pan (released on 5 February 1953), an authorised animated adaptation. Disney licensed the film rights to the story in 1939 from Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. It featured music by Sammy Cahn, Frank Churchill, Sammy Fain, and Ted Sears. 15-year-old film actor Bobby Driscoll supplied the voice of Peter. This version contained little of the original dialogue from the play or its novelisation.
In the early 1930s, Edward Mason Eggleston painted a series of images for calendars that included Peter Pan, Indian princesses and pirates.
To the question of how Harry would know about Peter Pan, I think that The Very Proper daughter of the nearby family was obsessed with Peter Pan and jumped at the thought of introducing a new person to the book and film and everything. Someone she haven’t infodumped yet to! 
Then, of course, she was forbidden to talk to him by her parents because of the things Dursleys told them.

Saw a post on one of the pages I follow on Facebook that I thought seemed kind of fun. If you're bored, post a picture of your bookshelf and talk about each of the books that are on there. If you are in self quarantine and find yourself incredibly bored with nothing else to do feel free to comment. It will give you something to do for a little bit. If your bookshelf is to big, take a photo of one shelf or grab a few books that you love and comment about those! I'll put a 📚 to indicate that the book is on my tbr pile.
*Note it doesn't have to be books. If you have a shelf of movies or CD's/Records, feel free to comment about those!

2. The Five People you Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom
A new look on what it means to die and how our vision of heaven isn't what one would expect. I try to reread this one every year because it's a good reminder that even the little things we do could effect not only the people we know, but complete strangers.
3. The Next Person you Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom
A sequel to The Five People you Meet in Heaven and a great follow up!
4. Scythe by Neal Shusterman

I am Musical theater trash. I love this musical. The book gave me more of an insight to it beyond listening to the album on repeat.
12. The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
A teen novel about the black lives matter movement. Honestly, this book was so good. 100% reccomend even if you aren't a teen.

A book about how to make your life and home more comfortable to life in the Danish way.

Another book about life told by a dying man. This is a good read. Follows Randy Pausch, a Proffessor, as he has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and continues to teach and prepares for his last lecture.
18. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck

Gratitude Journal
Aunt Bar appreciation post
My Aunt Barbara (my dad's sister) has been my favorite aunt my whole life. She's just awesome.
My mom has bipolar, and also, at age 29, she had 3 kids 3 and under. Sometimes it was really hard for her.
So my aunt wanted to help, and offered to watch me and my two sisters once a week.
Aunt Barbara had the best collection of dress-up clothes in an old chest. She even had fake facial hair. We'd be princesses or pioneers, setting up in our covered wagon (dining room table) with our horses (two straight-backed dining chairs) pulling us along.
She made us custom paper dolls, each with different hair and all with unique styles. She made a paper dollhouse for them.
She had a collection of old dolls that she'd sent to a doll hospital when they got too worn down. We could play with them but we had to be very careful.
She made each of her nieces a cloth doll, and sewed dresses for them herself. They had straw hats and they had aprons and they had shoes.
Aunt Barbara took us to all of the best playgrounds in town, our favorite being Two Slides. (Not its real name, but we referred to the playgrounds by their best features.) We'd get on a carousel and she would explain centrifugal force. We rolled down Flag Pole Hill over and over.
We'd pick wildflowers and put them in baskets. We'd walk nature trails.
Aunt Barbara would turn her living room into a fort, with sheets covering the couches, and we'd huddle in and watch the Mary Martin Peter Pan. She always made sure we clapped to revive Tinkerbell.
She sustained us with Weenies 'n Wheels (wheel-shaped pasta with little hot dog rounds), and taught us some cooking basics.
Every year, Aunt Barbara took all six of her nieces (my sisters and cousins and I) shopping for Christmas dresses. In some of the early years we'd get matching dresses, but as we got older, our tastes changed and we got harder to shop for. And we'd also try on outrageous dresses (shoulder pads, pantsuits) and try to get a reaction or see if she'd say no. But no matter how many hours it took, we all came away with a new outfit, and on Christmas day we'd all pose together for a photo.
Aunt Barbara was married to a man named Mark. Mark died of cancer before I was born, and I grew up knowing her second husband, Uncle Jimmy (my godfather and favorite uncle, but that's a whole 'nother post). But she'd tell us about Mark sometimes. He gave her the Alice in Wonderland books with a poem he'd written inside the cover. She lent these books to me and I loved them, and one year for my birthday I asked for my own copies. Aunt Barbara gave me her copies, the poem included.
She always gave the best gifts. A couple of years we did a clothes shopping spree, and sometimes a book shopping spree. (She's the one who got me into Harry Potter. Whatever my relationship with the books now, I'll always be grateful for the introduction to a magical world and a wonderful fan community.)
In high school, my sister's boyfriend (now husband) referred to Aunt Barbara as Aunt Bar, insisting she told him to call her that. Not in the least true, but we so started using the nickname and she would even sign cards as "Aunt Bar."
She started collecting roadrunners. Her collection is selective, and she'll only collect roadrunners with correct feet: two toes forward, two toes back. None of this three-forward-one-back nonsense.
She took me to see Wicked the first time, paying for seats I would never have been able to afford on my own. We talked wistfully of going to New York, but that wasn't in the cards then.
In 2010, my Uncle Jimmy died of suicide three days before Christmas. I remember Aunt Barbara coming to my parents' house and saying tonelessly, "I'm a widow twice now."
But Aunt Bar kept on living. She took care of herself. She joined a grief group. She kept going.
She and I became closer after Jimmy's death. I had been his favorite, and we would get together and remember him and all the wonderful things about him.
And Aunt Bar tore up some carpet in her home and took down some curtains she'd always disliked. Jimmy had liked them, and it was initially his house, so she'd kept them, but now she got to reveal beautiful hardwood floors and redecorate.
She started traveling. Jimmy had been in the Air Force and had done enough traveling, being more of a homebody. But Aunt Bar went to Hawaii with a friend. She went to Africa. She went to Peru and Spain.
She retired from her banking job at 65, then started an encore career at Trader Joe's. She was employee of the month more than once. She likes being Helmsman best, a kind of greeter position. She calls it TJ's, and everyone loves her. A coworker personalized everyone's denim TJ's jacket, and Aunt Bar got a roadrunner painted on hers.
I got Aunt Bar into Hamilton, and in November of 2016, we went to New York City together to see it. In all her life, she'd never been to NYC, and now she was going with me. I said we were like Aunt March and Amy from Little Women, me being her traveling companion. It was glorious. We went to the Cloisters in the rain. We ate lavishly, we took the Staten Island Ferry, we visited the NYC Trader Joe's so she could get a local tote bag from their location. We saw an Off-Broadway show called "Puffs," a Harry Potter story from the point of view of the Hufflepuffs, and it was hilarious. We day-drank, we went to a rooftop bar, I got tired one day and retreated to the hotel room to read and she went off adventuring on her own, outwalking me at age 70. We saw Hamilton and it was everything we wanted it to be.
Aunt Barbara sings in three choirs (well, she did before Covid), including a barbershop choir where she's the only woman. She's dating one of the barbershop's lead soloists.
She did Zumba regularly before the pandemic hit, making sure she got her exercise.
I connected her to a virtual sourdough-making class led by a baker friend of mine, and now she makes sourdough every two weeks or so.
She's active and fun and full of love and energy and perseverance, and I love her so much.
Here's to you, Aunt Bar.
