there are many, many reasons why i would’ve wanted Remus and Sirius to get custody of Harry but one of the most important ones is my need for Petunia and Vernon being confronted with the gay disaster that is Sirius Orion Black and Remus “Sass Master Extraordinaire” Lupin. Because they thought Lily (!) was terribly abnormal and scandalous and James was probably the worst man they could imagine so JUST THINK what meeting Remus and Sirius in combination would do to them
“You think wizards are weird? Friendo, I am a w e r e w o l f.”
As someone who headcanons Harry Potter to be of Indian descent it pleases me to think that his name is actually Hari, and that Aunt Petunia just Anglicized it because foreigners.
According to the interwebs, ‘Hari’ is a Sanskrit name meaning… Lion.
So yeah. Hari the mixed race savior of the Wizarding World.
Brown Hindu person here:
Hari is actually another name for Vishnu one of the three main gods in Hinduism. His job is protection. And he often comes down to Earth in different forms to save the world when the balance of good and evil is slipping.
Hari Puther, incarnation of Vishnu, protector of fucking everyone.
This is beautiful, and gives the whole thing new context. I love it.
I just read “Hufflepuff isn’t a house where you can stick people who don’t fit in the other houses”
But the thing is? It literally it is, Helga Hufflepuff said she would take the rest.
She preferred the loyal and hardworking for her house, but felt that everyone should have a chance. Not a Gryffindor, a Slytherin, or a Ravenclaw? Not a loyal, hardworking Hufflepuff either?
Well that’s okay. Helga Hufflepuff founded her house believing anyone should be given a chance at Hogwarts. Those four archetypes aren’t all that matter, and if you don’t fit any of them Hufflepuff will still welcome you.
Godric/Rowena/Salazar were perfectly happy to say “You don’t fit into our houses, you can’t come to Hogwarts” and it was only Helga who was willing to say “You might not fit my ideals of a student, but you can still be in my house”
Like. I think that’s super cool. I don’t like it when people shoehorn Hufflepuff into being one and the same like the rest of the houses, sure, loyalty, hardworking, kindness.. that’s the priority.. but it’s truly a place for everyone. And that’s where Hufflepuff’s kindness shines the most.
‘I’ll teach the lot And treat them just the same.’
‘Good Hufflepuff, she took the rest and taught them all she knew’
Hufflepuff’s pride as a house comes not only from loyalty, hardworking, toil, and kindness, but from diversity. Something the other founders did not realize the importance of.
I never really thought about this- but you are 100% right.
i’d just like to point out the fact that the first time harry produced a corporeal patronus was to take down malfoy & co at the quidditch game, not to fight off the dementors. james’s spirit rose from the dead to help harry kick the shit out of some 13 yr old slytherin fucks
