Harry was just thinking that all he needed was for Dumbledore’s pet bird to die while he was alone in the office with it, when the bird burst into flames.
okay so the first time I read the harry potter books, my mom read them to me out loud in spanish. you know the part where harry puts the snitch Dumbledore left him in his mouth to reveal the words “I open at the close?” well, I remember being SO confused because the spanish translation of “I open at the close” in the books is “me abro al cierre.” Makes sense, right? Well I, a certified dumbass, thought my mom was saying “me abro EL cierre.” which is all fine and dandy except this roughly translates to “I unzip my pants” which is definitely not the same thing

It’s the year 2030. They’re making a Harry Potter remake, not a modern adaptation but set in the original era. And it’s fucking indulgent in 90s nostalgia. Someone’s got a butterfly clip, Ron is wearing a choker, there’s muggles playing with pogs, Spice Girls is playing in the background. Voldemort is wearing a crop top.
It’s simultaneously the worst and fucking best thing you’ve ever seen.
