I firmly believe that Fleur Delacour and Viktor Krum remained friends after the triwizard tournament and that one night while they were celebrating Fleur and Bills engagement a very drunk Fleur bet a not as drunk Viktor that she could catch a snitch before him and so they competed and he won and Fluer lost her end of the bet saying that she would name her first born after him
and that is why their kid is named Victoire and the only reason it isn’t spelled with a k is to annoy Viktor
i’m literally going to write out of spite a fantasy series focused on the relationship between two gay wizards in the 1920s who are driven apart due to one’s lust for power, ultimately leading to a final confrontation between the two to determine the fate of the world. and you know what??? jk can’t even sue me for it since she never actually incorporated it into her works, so boom i win.
i will never be over vernon dursley telling people at his wedding that james potter was some kind of amateur magician, implying that he wasn’t even that good
100% believe that if petunia hadn’t cut lily out of her life, james would have just rolled with it and learned muggle magic tricks and performed them at various family functions, like
try to wear the full magician costume to dudleys christening
“you can’t wear that james” “it’s the only way i’m going, lil” “fine but give me your wand” “my real one, or the fake one that shoots out flowers?” “both, and you’d better tidy the handkerchiefs are trailing out of your trouser leg before we leave”
“I’m not a magician, marge, i’m an illusionist.”
petunia walks in on james pretending to saw toddler dudley in half for toddle harry’s amusement
actually incorporating magic into the tricks and freaking the hell out of vernon’s extended family
standing up at christmas and saying that he’d like to perform a magic trick. and vernon and petunia are HORRIFIED and lily just pours more wine but marge says ‘let him do it’ so she can mock him?? and he tries/fails to ‘vanish’ the napkins 3-4 times and it doesn’t work, until the fourth time when it DOES and it freaks the hell out of vernon’s extended family
and that is probably when petunia cuts lily out of her life for Real
guys this is a very important post and i’ve been thinking about it all morning
Oh boy!!
– literally the funniest character in the entire series
– loyal as fuck
– one of my favourite things about him is that he is scared SO MUCH. I think true courage is being scared shitless and doing it anyway
– grew up poor in a large family, struggles with the insecurity that comes with this and yet manages to still be generous and welcoming with what he has
– can be a real dick at times. sometimes he’s lazy. sometimes he’s sleepy and bored and not interested. sometimes he’s really rude. out of all the characters he’s the most human
– a lot of the most pure moments of the series are just him and Harry messing around, they have a relationship where they genuinely enjoy each other’s company so much, they love and they like each other
– balances out Hermione, tries his hardest to protect her and make the world safe for people like her. he stands up for her against snape(unlike the garbage movies suggest). as he grows up in the last few books he definitely starts to value her a lot more and treat her a lot better, I love his character growth. he comforts her when she’s upset and loses his mind when she’s being tortured
– he’s a pureblood and risks his life again and again to help muggleborns
– he’s actually really smart, like he has a lot of good ideas and is very clever, again despite what the movies like us to believe
– he’s scared of spiders and I relate to that
– he swears a lot
– he brought a pet rat to school even though rats and death eaters aren’t on the allowed pets list
I like to think that Rita Skeeter totally lost whatever renown she had after the war and so Harry and Ginny and the others like to pick up her stories for fun without worrying about the effect it’ll have on their image? Like Harry just idly turns a page every morning and goes, “Oh, we’re getting a divorce.”
And Ginny yawns as she fetches two coffee mugs and says, “Is it because I’m snogging Neville?”
“No,” says Harry, “it’s because I’m snogging Neville.”
And Ginny slams down her mug and says, “Goddamnit, Harry, let me have my affair in peace, would you?”
They have this sort of conversation in public, sometimes. Especially in places (the Leaky Cauldron, the Three Broomsticks, etc) where they know that it’ll get back to Skeeter.
I like to imagine that the kids get in on it as well. Like Albus and Scorpius can be over heard in the Great Hall with the latest Potter Family gossip
“Did you hear that your dad is leaving your mum for my father?”
“I thought mum was leaving dad for your mum, Scorp?”
“No that was last week. Your mum is with your aunt Luna right now.”
“Ah, my mistake. Pass the pumpkin juice.”
Please tell me that the cursed child was just another bullshit story that the kids fed to her.
New head-canon: Rita Skeeter wrote The Cursed Child.
I’ve been ignoring this post in my notifs for ages but this is now the only explanation for the Cursed Child that I will accept.
