>>188458NTA
The Riddle grooming was the only interesting thing about her (I recommended a
nonnie here a great fic about it before /m/ got purged). by which I mean - Rowling fucked up older Ginny. No trauma, no depth, just a generic Mary Sue with no information how she grew into one despite having low self esteem as a child (facilitated by her parents not really giving a fuck about her) and going through horrific abuse. She just shows up to be a trophy gf for the protagonist
No. 188462
>>188458The diary part was indeed interesting. After that I feel like she has no dept and is very mary sueish, very boring. What annoys me the most is her relationship with harry, why the hell would he be so over the moon for her when we saw all the other girls he met. Literally any of them would be better.
Anyway I just remembered that girlfriend ron had and how he treated her and also how he treated hermione during the goblet of fire and I guess I'm annoyed now with all the weasleys.

I used to read a lot of Blackcest fanfic and got teased for liking it instead of Remus/Sirius (lame) but I still stand by it and also enjoy Sirius/James because Sirius is just so creepily obsessed with James who he also supposedly views as a replacement brother except in a gay way where they take off Snape's pants together.

I posted this on the celbricows thread sometime back but it fits better here
I was looking up the careers of the main cast of Harry Potter, its kinda interesting how most of them chose to peruse their future when they had everything going for them
Emma Watson is the most successful out of all them, she's been in big budget Oscar bait films, done a lot of public activist work that has helped with her image
Daniel Radcliffe seems to do whatever interests him(probably wants to get away from the Harry Potter image) and so takes a lot of daring roles, such as a guy who fucks a horse, undercover white supremacist, gay poet, magical farting corpse e.t.c
Rupert Grint did a couple films after Harry Potter but stopped cause they weren't that successful and he understood he wasn't really leading man material, he seems happy with his money and royalties
Tom Felton does mostly independent films, the only real blockbuster film that he's done since Harry Potter was a small role in Planet of the apes
other then them all the actors who weren't already established like Robert Pattison or Helena Bonham Carter e.t.c, seemed to have been doomed for roles in mediocre British films, usually forgettable romcoms

Parts that stuck with me was that flying pig statue which I was a bit scared when I first played (though I replayed years ago and it was so easy to defeat it) then we have the lava forest which was weird but I actually liked, the dungeons with the eyes, oh and the dungeons where you have to rescue some kid's tiny cat. Gringots was my least favorite part because it was hard when I was a kid but when I replayed it was my favorite, super fun and I loved be out of Hogwarts, always wanted to explore these parts.
The second game my favorite part was the duels and the secret passages/chest/collectables.
Also I completely forgot about Peeves, annoying mofo grew on me, can't unhear his stupid laughter.
I hope I can make a better looking character in the new game and actually explore other parts of the wizard world (whatever they throw us), not expecting much besides that, the trailer showed more than I expected so I'm happy.

He decides to muster out for fear of becoming brainwashed (yet misses the Army occasionally), choosing instead to become a private detective.>His biological father, Jonny Rokeby, is a renowned rock star who had an affair with model and 'super groupie' Leda Strike, which led to Cormoran becoming his illegitimate son; Cormoran has almost no relationship to speak of with his father, apparently meeting just twice. The only one of his half-siblings to whom he is close is Lucy,>At the start of the first novel, he meets Robin. Their relationship is complicated; he clearly finds her very attractive, but is extremely reluctant to admit this even to himself, trying to maintain a professional distance between them. This is a task that becomes progressively harder to fulfill as time passes, and is exacerbated by the fact that he has a number of unsatisfying relationships following his split from Charlotte. He values many of Robin's personal and professional qualities very highly.>Strike is described as a physically imposing man, at least 6'3" in height, heavily build. He is hairy, and has dark wiry, curly hair, leading to some calling him 'pubehead'. His nose was twice broken during his military boxing career, then is broken again in the third novel. Although described as being 'not conventionally handsome', he seems to be attractive to a number of different women.

where the hell do you even get that, she was basically a non character. we have absolutely no idea what she was like after school. and when we see her from the little scenes we get we see her insulting james, telling snape to fuck off for hurting her sister, so she seemed have enough sense to tell males to shove it when needed. her role in the story was basically to be admired by everyone, that's it, so calling her especially evil or pick me is just head canon. sure you could call her a bitch for marrying the guy who bullied her childhood best friend but she and snape were growing apart for a long time like we see when she tells snape that she always has to explain her behavior to her other friends. sure it could have been explored more what exactly did she fall in love with in james, but aside from that acting like she was some evil harlot is dumb because she is basically nobody.
james yeah was a pisshead bully, but he was also some old money kid so snobbery was maybe pretty much given, thinking about how the old families with wealth act in harry potter in general. again it could be explored more how he grew and changed.
honestly they never got time to mature and that's one of the weirdest things about this story, that you have all these old actual adult wizards and witches waxing poetics about what a great man james and great woman lily was when they never even grew up to be proper man or woman since they died at 21. wouldn't 100 year old wizards have met braver people during their lifetime, i don't know. though i guess them being so young and still brave enough to fight in a war is something you can respect, but james and lily etc being at least bit older at least would make more sense.
then it just comes to personal taste that i don't like too kiddy story type of writing where we have to spend time and make the readers learn when the characters are being naughty and readers are given some life lessons over how we should behave. it's fiction, we can have some assholes around without having disclaimers around every single time about it.
though james was called out, his friends were called out, it s in the narrative that his friends also were most likely very biased over their pal. it is there already. and it was basically snape's whole character to be the asshole guy who was on the good side after all, it was his job in the narrative basically so using that character arc too much with every other character would have taken away from him.

Anyway I agree with your points on Lily and James, though at the same time I dislike them (as much as possible with how flat they are). The glorification of Potter's parents is exhausting, I'm glad that at least we got to see the shitty side of James (and Marauders in general).

Did anyone else find it disturbing that Voldemort’s mom roofied his dad and the books didn’t make her seem like the bad guy?
also seen some people weirdly romanticize their relationship and say Tom Sr was the bad guy for leaving poor merope and I don't understand that, cause she roofied him and kept him against his will
No. 191283
>>191273>>191276I felt the same about how Merope has been portrayed. Her relationship with Tom Gaunt was written as sad and wrong, I interpreted Voldemort being the rape baby half the reason why he doesn't know love and is fucked in the head. Rowling being capable of writing nuanced shit made Dumbledore show sympathy about Merope's life full of abuse and loneliness.
What is weirder is Wesley's selling date rape drinks and the comedic plot with Ron drinking one. Kinda doesn't match, the other shoe never dropped with "hey that's fucked for good characters to facilitate date rape". Rowling must have been kinda aware of the implications since she made a scrote go through it and not a female character.
No. 191298
>>191296She kind of hasn't though, with Merope and Ron. What I meant is that Weasleys' really shouldn't be selling love potions in their store with magical tricks.
Weird fact: there's been a Winx Club comic about date rape under the guise of a love potion.
No. 191311
>>191305now that i think about it, harry could probably had died if he had taken the love potion instead of ron. because it was harry who thought to use the bezoar while slughorn was too panicked, if it had been harry instead of ron who got sick ron wouldn't have known to use it most likely.
anyway, while it was shitty how ron's love potioning was handled, narratively speaking it was that what put him in a situation where he almost lost his life so love potions are connected with bad consequences narratively speaking. and his brothers also were responsible for it in a way since they sold the love potion. of course it could have been a happy coincidence and jkr didn't think much of it but like the scene going from "haha look he is love potioned" to "jesus he's fucking dying" feels like intentional "you thought this was funny, what? see what happens if you fuck around with this stuff" moment but i could be reading too much into it
honestly one of the biggest problems i have with love potion stuff is the "rape babies are unable to love" allegory because that is honestly rather shitty thing to do, like imagine people born from rape reading that stuff

The cover designer of the first book, the Icelandic translation.

Though Rowling has been gunning for 'you reap what you sow' anyway, a result of evil (magical rape) cannot be anything but evil itself.

>>191472Have you missed that's how the love potions work, pretty much? Except they force infatuation rather than rape on the
victim, which is an adequate way of talking about the problem in a book for young(ish) readers. Some children's media have Very Special Episodes on the topic. IDK how many, but the Winx comic is an example. The wiki sucks, so I need to go by the scanned comics one by one, but I can post the link to it if anyone cares.
And anyway, the later books were YA rather than children's books and tackled more serious issues (although in a way that wouldn't be inappropriate if a younger reader read them). It's very common in fiction to show real issues by representing them by magical/unrealistic plot devices (especially if it can soften the blow), and I honestly think it's one of those cases.

James was literally an arrogant, trust-fund frat bro, it's cringe to pretend that he'd be concerned with modern notions of "allyship" or other bs
Honestly I like Sirius too and I'm way more willing to forgive him for being an occasional dick than I am with James. Sirius was an actual character we got to see interacting with the main cast and expressing his personality, whereas James was literally just a plot device to (1) give the protagonist a dead dad and (2) provide Snape's tragic backstory. James had next to no presence throughout the story and almost zero importance to the overarching plot, I just can't see why people find that interesting.

She started this way in the books but turned into her own thing and ended up just becoming the stereotypical cringy girly teen who loves new-age shit like Divination, gossips, cackles loudly and is generally annoying but has a good heart.

>haven't ever read J/L fic because I don't read Remus/Sirius eitherOh, that probably explains it; literally the most popular Wolfstar fic on AO3 (All The Young Dudes) is a great example of how James woobifying gets amped up to 11 by fanfic writers. In ATYD, all of the students James bullies are portrayed as having been bigoted in some way so that readers will believe they ostensibly deserved it. Like the author unironically wrote Snape and all of the Slytherins to be homophobic/transphobic just to make them even less sympathetic than they already are (and ofc James is the perfect ally of BIPOC and trans rights in the story).
Somehow I doubt that the actual canon Snape, as horrible as he was, had any strong opinion on trans/gay ppl.

If you wanna write about a specific race, read a fucking book about them and participate in that fandom instead. If you're not willing to do that, then clearly you're more interested in the brownie points a big fandom will give you than representation or diversity.

>>193489TBH i never really understood what Rowling intended with Snape's whole persona. There's this massive contrast between how his appearance and his dialogue are presented.
In every book, Snape is described as being physically hideous - he has crooked teeth, greasy hair, and a bony physique. The narration constantly reinforces how "ugly" he is! At the same time though, Rowling always describes his voice as being "silky", "smooth", "velvety"… which are usually ways people describe the voices of attractive male characters.
Like, do you think Rowling intended readers to find Snape attractive??? Does SHE find Snape attractive? Why'd she keep emphasizing how gross he looks if she gave him this whole romantic backstory and writes his dialogue in a vaguely seductive way?

I want to know what idiot started the SJW-headcanon that Harry (and subsequently James's side) is Indian. I don't really care about skintone, Harry's skin can be blue but I hate how those pandering fanfics authors are so smug with how much they shove it in their fics. "Ooooh, Harry's THICK, nothing-less-than-mahogany chicken-tikka-masala-scented skin glistened in the sun" FUCK OFF.
It's like they take ethnicities and put them on characters like socks because they think it'll make their basic-ass jeans and t-shirt combo quirky and special. I actually respect authors that give fewer physical descriptions of their characters because it's easier for a reader to immerse and imagine their own version. The hoops these people jump through to try to be the most 'progressive inclusive race godmother,' I s2G.
These hot takes on Harry bother me much more than stuff about Hermione per se because how is the Potter family supposed to be an ancient wizarding family if apparently they're pretty ethnically Indian? And have remained so over hundreds of years in lily-white British Isles? Bye.
No. 193522
>>193512i think the descriptions are so unflattering because they're filtered through harry's perspective.
harry's PoV really focuses on physical defects of people he doesn't like (malfoy's pointed chin etc) but it's biased
so maybe to other people, snape isn't as gross as harry sees him

>>193421I actually think if people had any honesty they'd be celebrating the series for being really specifically anti-classist. The Weasleys aren't some jolly little poor but happy clan, their poverty weighs on them in really overt ways throughout the whole series. There's a moment that really stayed w/ me in particular, think it was in GoF, where Ron just suddenly explodes about how much he hates being poor and having hand-me-down crap and feeling embarrassed when he can't afford things his friends can. It was the most honest expression of that anger I'd ever encountered when I first read it as a kid, and it's STILL one of the most open portrayals of that I've ever seen in anything aimed at kids. Tbh I think the Weasleys are some of the only not-bullshitty poor characters in YA fiction, and you can absolutely tell it's b/c JKR has been poor. The constant grind of it is so present – like in OotP, when Ron dares to ask for a broom for getting prefect, and he hedges it with "but it doesn't have to be a really nice one!!!" and there's a description of Molly's face falling and then her hauling it back up…they love each other, and yeah, that means they can be happy, but the anxiety is always there.
There are a million other ways I think the series really specifically addresses class that, if JKR were fandom's darling, everyone would be celebrating as genuinely huge: The fact that Snape and Lily are so specifically from a shit industrial town and end up being two of the biggest heroes, the ways the Dursleys are portrayed as being awful through denigrating striking workers and people who don't drive the right cars and shit and being like "obviously James was a worthless unemployed drunk," etc. But above all, the entire goddamn series can be boiled down to "our hero has to defeat the bigot-y assholes who have lots and lots of money and power." Like she did not accidentally make the bad guys the upper class twits who have mansions, box seats with the minister, gobs of treasure, and a big fat hand in the way the wizarding world is run. The books could literally not be more clear that the Malfoys/Lestranges/etc's power is tied to their ideals and wealth and the centuries they've had all these ideals and wealth, and that it all basically allows them to run the government and press. It takes a huge, huge commitment to hating JKR to ignore this. It's not subtle.
No. 193741
>>193566What a massive improvement over Depp, I didn't even know until I saw the trailer the other day.
I have to admit… I'm sad both Jude Law and Mads are past their prime lookswise. They would've been a genuinely hot pair a few decades ago and I would have shipped it.
No. 193749
>>193723here's the thing though; faux-progressivism and tumblr brain rot have become so widespread that all of the messages about class inequality fly over people's heads. There are people who even insist that JKR wasn't progressive ENOUGH because she writes about poor people who also happened to be white.
>The fact that Snape and Lily are so specifically from a shit industrial town and end up being two of the biggest heroesregarding this part - some parts of the fandom turned on Snape so fast that the tiktok fanbase doesn't even consider him to be a "hero" at all. Like "oh well he was a bigoted wizard Nahtzee so he deserved to be poor and shit!!!" And JKR specifically wanted to address things such as child neglect and
abusive parents in his narrative, but of course idiotic tiktok fans will handwave those themes away by saying rubbish like "well, Harry was abused too and he didn't end up being a dick like Snape"
In other words, people just ignore how the books covered many progressive themes just because they applied to characters they didn't like. It's easier for them to pretend that JKR was an "incel sympathizer" or some shit rather than acknowledge how she explored social problems in her work
No. 193755
>>193749Yeah. What drives me nuts about the Snape discussion especially is like…..people are constantly criticizing JKR for stuff THEY brought into the conversation. She/the books never say that being poor cancels out the shitty things he does, or that the shitty things he does cancel out the heroism, or that he's Actually Hot or Actually Ugly or that what he did to Lily is justified or unjustified. Harry comes to feel he's a hero, but I've always felt that this is very much his character's choice. I just looked up an interview she had on the Today show years ago, and she's actually more forthright about it than I remembered: "Is he a hero? You see, I don't see him really as a hero. He's spiteful, he's a bully – all of these things are still true of Snape, even at the end of this book."
She literally just presents a very believable character arc that's pretty representative of what war and hardship does to some people. I absolutely buy that he'd latch onto the Death Eaters, and that the fact that this is understandable doesn't mean it's okay. And then I completely buy that he'd dedicate his life to undoing what he did, but that he'd still be petty and awful to a fucking kid. The truth is that she created a really complex character, and people can't deal with it, and also everyone always needs to assume female creators either unthinkingly stumble onto whatever successes they have, or their work MUST be dumber than people think it is. Even before the
terf thing, this was always present in the fandom.
The way people are scraping to shit on the series for anything is ridiculous. What gets me especially is like….there are plenty of examples of ACTUAL children's literature that ACTUALLY, actively, promotes shitty stuff. Not like, "this book was written by a clearly left-wing white woman in the '90s" stuff, which is mostly just "eh, there could've been some more brown kids around." ACTIVELY BAD stuff. Roald Dahl literally verbatim declared himself an anti-semite and wrote an entire short story collection about rape by deception, and The Witches is about big-nosed foreigners with no homeland who eat blue-eyed children who also happen to be unmarried women who LIEEEEE to men with makeup and wigs. When shit is bad, it's not subtle. But my local independent bookstore is only considering adding "FYI THIS PERSON IS A BIGOT" shelf talkers to one of those authors' books, and it isn't Dahl. It's the woman who made one of her most prominent characters gay at a time when NO ONE was doing that.

>>193728i hate how people think that harry not offering his wealth to the weasleys at like 12 years old is a shitty character choice and indicative of rowling’s bad politics or whatever. no adult in their right mind would accept charity from a random kid and furthermore i don’t think any kid would have the idea to give their wealth to adults because kids don’t really understand money like that. it just wouldn’t have made sense for harry to do that and would have infringed upon the weasley’s pride if they did accept money from him.
personally i do think that harry having that massive inheritance from his parents wasn’t a good storytelling decision. i think rowling wanted harry to have his cinderella moment in the first book but didn’t fully think through how it would affect the rest of the narrative. it would have been much more interesting for example, if harry had the inheritance but due to some law he couldn’t access it until he was 18. then it would be like at the end of the war and the battle with voldemort he suddenly has access to his inheritance but it’s kind of bittersweet because of all he lost along the way. but these are just my thoughts

However, because of JK's recent anti-trans tendencies, they also have to disavow her - the very creator of the series they can't move on from - since it's the trendy woke thing to do.
also anecdotal but it's common for mentally ill tumblrcels to claim Hufflepuff as well since it's the "uwu WHOLESOME" house which fits their "smol bean" aesthetic or whatever.

The Regulus love is also ironic since the Marauders fandom is one of the worst places for purity culture and cringe social policing. People constantly hate on Snape because "uhm, he voluntarily hung around Magic Nazis at school" but suddenly they love Regulus? Who actually JOINED the Death Eaters during his school years? Sure, he worked against Voldemort in the end, but there's no proof that he actually stopped believing in pure blood supremacy or any of that stuff.

>>195013Dramione is wildly popular but at the same time it's also very controversial within the fandom. It's popular with millennial women and there are fanfics (e.g. Manacled) which have over 2 million hits, making them some of the most viewed fanfics of all time on AO3.
However, Dramione also receives a lot of backlash from zoomers and the tiktok fanbase, usually for reasons related to modern politics. A lot of the hate for it is based on reasoning like "omg how can you ship an oppressed person with their oppressor" and people project modern day racial politics onto the ship. So anti-Dramione ppl view it as a "
toxic" relationship involving what basically amounts to a white supremacist kkk member dating a black woman (lmao).
I personally find Dramione a little bit cringey because it leans so hard into wish fulfillment tropes - like a plain, nerdy good girl dating a suave, tortured bad boy? An ordinary heroine who ends up with a billionaire heir from a prestigious family? It kind of evokes rubbish like 50 shades of gray, et cetera. At the same time though, I find the people who are vehemently against the ship even worse since it's annoying when people scream and whine about FICTIONAL things that are "bigoted" and "
problematic"

problematic, fetishizing, and racist ship by TikTok zoomers. Because Draco and the DE's are perceived as the oppressors of muggleborns like Hermione, its weird

>>195989Thank you for reminding me how gay this movie is. I know that I sound like a twitterfag retard, but I mean it. As the Secrets of the Dumbledore should be, as they deal with 3 characters with homosexual entanglements. Beyond the obvious pair, there is also Credence whose relationship with Grindelwald in the first movie had been framed like a teenager groomed by a degenerate pedophile
which really makes me think of Credence as a bootleg Kylo Ren, even though that part of his story hasnt been properly explored in the trilogy. There is a lot of hurt feelings and tension between them, and Credence is one of the characters possessively touched by Grindelwald.
I was sure that Queenie meant that she hasn't been telling Grindelwald that Credence both loves and hates him or something like that, but it may have been about the Dumbledores tooThere is A LOT of Ezra Miller in that movie, looking unkempt due to his characters' illness which I would buy had Ezra wasn't looking like that IRL too. Try not to think about Rwanda when you see his face or you will make it hard for yourself to feel bad for Credence (and I like his character a lot, too bad that Ezra is an ass).

TBH I never found the Goldstein sisters working as characters. Queenie should have either been less of a Marilyn Monroe skinwalker or not a miscast.

>>197229Based on the discourse about Yuri on Ice when it was airing, if two male characters are very heavilt implied to be in love with each others and it's confirmed in later episodes or movies, it doesn't count as long as they're not french kissing on screen with their tongues visibly touching for at least one minute. Dumbledore and Grindewald were very obviously implied to have a deep, non-platonic relationship in the last volume of HP because of people talking about them and their personal lives at the beginning and the end of the novel? Doesn't count because they're dead by then and thus can't make out in front of Harry. JKR confirms that Dumbledore is gay soon after the novel is released? Doesn't count, it's too random and not in the actual book and she's a retarded SJW !!1! A prequel movie later confirms everything, yet again? Doesn't count, the characters look handsome

Saw this in the previous MTF thread and had to repost as I don't want to argue there…
I'm the most casual HP fan and yet, I remember from the books that Harry definitely didn't want to own Kreacher, who was mindfucked enough to obsess over the nazi wizard family that owned him. Harry couldn't free him because he would blab everything to the Lestranges and Malfoys, which is what happened anyway.
>Sirius told him to get out of the kitchen. Kreacher took this to mean that he was allowed to leave the house and went to the Malfoy family, who were close relatives of the Blacks, and told Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange about Harry and Sirius' close relationship.
>Later, when Harry Potter used the Floo Network to ask if Sirius was there, Kreacher lied. This convinced Harry that his vision of Sirius being tortured in the Department of Mysteries was real, and led him and his friends to attempt to rescue him. This resulted in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries in which Sirius was murdered by Bellatrix.
Sirius Black was the cunt who was purposefully an ass to the deranged humanoid that was his slave. Fittingly, this is a quote used on his wiki page:
>Kreacher is what he has been made by wizards, Harry. Yes, he is to be pitied. His existence has been as miserable as your friend Dobby's. He was forced to do Sirius's bidding, because Sirius was the last of the family to which he was enslaved, but he felt no true loyalty to him. And whatever Kreacher's faults, it must be admitted that Sirius did nothing to make Kreacher's lot easier.
Based Hermione:
>Harry, Kreacher doesn't think like that. He's a slave; house-elves are used to bad, even brutal treatment; what Voldemort did to Kreacher wasn't that far out of the common way. What do wizard wars mean to an elf like Kreacher? He's loyal to people who are kind to him… I've said all along that wizards would pay for how they treat house-elves. Well, Voldemort did… and so did Sirius.
Sorry to spam with quotes, but my memory isn't so good. I KNEW that the tranny is warping the narrative to make Jo look bad. It's true that Harry could have freed Kreacher after the Battle of Hogwarts, but to be honest we don't know if he did or did not as it wasn't important to the plot at the point. I suspect Kreacher was one of those elves that would be offended at the mere thought of being free (like Winky).

>>197972I've already said this but I also noticed the subtext long before the interview where JKR confirms that Dumbledore is gay and that's despite me having memory issues due to some medical issues at the time
I'm doing way better now but that's another topic and while I wasn't a turbo retard let's just say I wasn't even able to remember and recognize my teachers and classmates' faces and voices for years despite me seeing them everyday and it ruined my grades at some point so if I could notice the very obvious subtext, other people have no excuse. But it's been so long and I read the last book in two days only as soon as it got released so I wouldn't be able to give you concrete examples or quotes. I do remember some characters shit talking him during the wedding at the beginning of the book and trying to explain he was very, veryyyy close to Grindelwald despite Grindelwald being a psycho, to the point where he wasn't making rational decisions anymore, before fighting him. I can't imagine something like that with a deep friendship. Maybe with family members or lovers but not "mere" best friends. And then there's his brother/the bartender explaining some family drama right before the Hogwart battle. I think to new movie is all about that, right?
I have a feeling that reading manga by CLAMP all my childhood and teenage years helped me spot subtext easily kek I really want to watch the new movie but I haven't see the first two Fantastic Beasts movies and can't find it online, in my country it seems it's only on Amazon Prime and then after getting the subscription I'll have to pay both movies.

Here are some tips to get you on the right track of reducing your addictions

>>198057Your perception of slash shipping as solely fetishistic is very scrote-y, anon. If it was just about sex, absurdly long "slow burn" fics wouldn't be as popular and common as they are.
Slash shipping is partially the product of media in patriarchal cultures often failing to sufficiently flesh out female characters. Why ship your favorite character with a blandly written one when his male best friend is more fully realized? There's also the simple fact that some shippers just find both characters hot/cute and like them together for that reason.
It's honestly sad that you consider heterosexual women looking at cute guys kissing to be on par with scrotes who have foot fetishes. Like one is just people being attracted to the opposite sex, and the other is getting boners over toes because your brain is broken.

I don't watch porn, and I usually only read sfw fanfic. I understand that as a male you can't comprehend the idea that women aren't a hivemind, but each of us have different reasons for shipping what we ship. Sure, some people are TIF coomers, but others of us just like the damn characters together.
Maybe instead of assuming we're the problem, you should look into why you have such a visceral, angry response to seeing same-sex couples and/or unchaste women. Seems like you have some issues of your own.

Ok so now that I've seen the first two Fantastic Beasts movies: the first one is fun but I watched it with horrible quality and while doing housework so I'll definitely rewatch it later. The second one is weird, not bad but it feels incomplete, there's so much going on at the same time it feels like it should have been longer for everything to seem more coherent. I also have no idea if I was supposed to give a fuck about Leta and Yusuf or not, it feels like their backstories would have made more sense if this were a TV show and they had their own dedicated episodes, no idea if I'm making sense here. I didn't know Ezra Miller before that, so everytime he was on screen with his ugly haircuts I couldn't help but picture him assaulting Hawaiians in bars and yelling about Rwanda. I'm planning on watching the next one with friends. No idea if that's spoilers but why am I seeing several big twitter accounts saying that there's a cut scene where Mads kisses Jude on the neck? Is it real or is it just bullshit invented by Mads' and Jude's crazy fangirls? Please no spoilers!

>>197846The thing is that most people calling themselves Harry Potter fans are way more familiar with the movies than with the books and don't know shit about additional info from outside of the height movies. And that's including the person who made that tumblr post. Maybe at best they read the books long ago and don't remember all the details because they didn't reread them later, which is normal, but in that case you can't just say that something happens in the story when that's a lie not a huge exaggeration. It's the same thing as when people treat Ron like a turbo retard and say that without Hermione everyone would have died in the first volume when it only applied to the movies.
Speaking of fans who only watched some of the movies long ago and don't know much besides that, I just started seeing tweets about how shocked some people are that Dumbledore was made gay in the latest movie and how it's ruined their childhood, as if it weren't revealed like over a decade ago and as if it weren't obvious enough in the last novel kek. I've also seen zoomers still shitting in their diapers in the mid-2000s saying that Dumbledore was revealed to be gay by JKR at a poor attempts to appeal to SJWs very soon after she said people could headcanon Hermione as black if they wanted, I have no idea how these are so bad at math and try to talk about things they never witnessed themselves and don't understand but ok.

>Why do wizards think a muggle did a terrorist attack with a wand?

>Newt's crab dance
>Ezra is there, waving in the background and writing on mirrors

>>200013Look up what a qilin is, it's exactly how that works in Chinese myths. Read or watch the 12 kingdoms to see how that works in more details, it's not a creature invented by JKR and she pictured it accurately.
At least Dumbledore didn't get fucking kidnapped by a qilin disguised as a sexy blond man at the end of the movie like Yoko is at the beginning of the 12 kingdoms. Grindelwald is a retarded liar who just hates muggles because he sees them aw inferior but that's the whole point of his character. Ezra has daddy issues and communicates with his bio dad with a magic mirror somehow supposedly there's a cut scene in the castle when he talks to Dumbledore so maybe that's what would have explained how he can do this. Hogwarts is so fucked up that a muggle terrorist is the least of their issues kek, the whole school is some demonic place where you can die just from taking the wrong stairs.

No. 210940
>>210890Sirius was ok imo, you could blame his questionable teenage behaviour on his shit family life.
James is insufferable, I remember him being so cocky in this scene, constantly ruffling his hair to look like he just rode a broom and playing with a golden snitch that he stole. I know that JKR probably was trying to showcase how no one is truly good/evil through his character but it just fell flat
No. 210975
>>210890does it really matter what she thinks about the marauders? i think it's very clear that they're a good example for how group mentality and being very young can lead you to do bad stuff, but you can still redeem yourself. not saying that we really see how james became a better person, but sirius ended up in prison for years, and remus basically lost his entire support system and had to deal with the hatred against werewolves all by himself, without the support of his friends. still, they did their best to fight back against voldemort and to do the right thing by supporting harry, joining the order, etc.
but i also feel that snape is a good example for how bullying can affect someone for the rest of your life and just because you're an adult you can still harbor grudges and feel the pain of being tormented as a kid.
not saying that james/lily is such a perfect couple or that snape's crush on lily is sooo cute and admirable. but i like how jkr hardly ever writes perfectly morally good or bad characters, except for voldemort maybe.

Second movie was odd and the main plot twist made me laugh out loud, but I think I'm one of the rare person who prefered it over the first one.
Third one is my fav (still mediocre) but it felt so long and dragging, the constant lore inconsistencies/revision that were already present in the first two movies are next level in this one.

I don't know why JKR made it so hard to like them honestly when it does seems she really wants you to like them.

Objectively they are shit, the marauders+Lily seemed the kind of people who are self righteous and hypocrite about their beliefs and who think not being a literal nazi automatically makes them good people and justifies whatever nasty shit they do, kinda like wokies and leftiecows behave nowadays ironically kek. (watching Sirius and Remus try to justify the shitty things they did to Snape to Harry in OotP makes my skin crawl, they are adults in there and won't just admit they fucked up many years ago in front of the 15 year old, why do people even like them? I remember reading OotP as a kid and finding really hard to like Sirius in particular, he was a
toxic asshole. Didn't he also beat his elf up while preaching that only cowards abuse those under them? lmao).
But from the quotes from JK i've read talking about them, she does seem to think they were good people and that you are supposed to like them?? Personally I think that she has a bad case of cognitive dissonance going on, she probably is big into bad boys like someone pointed out earlier in the thread and tbh? Despite her terfy views she oozes a bit of pickme energy tbh, it was way worse back when she wrote the books (her female characters are mostly written like shit). She seems the kind of girl who finds shitty behavior from "her" boys cute and quirky while condemns it when it comes from strangers. Idk Jily is a redflag shitfest only naïve teen girls seem to be into and JK seemed to think they are super cute and uwu together, with stellar quotes on places the wiki like "they are true love and meant for each other". I truly don't get it, it may be just because they are the protag's parents and she is not allowed to talk shit about them for marketing reasons or something.

I hate james/lily but not because of either character specifically but rather because the idea of getting married to your highschool sweetheart and having kids literally days after graduation is cringe to me.

Do you think a book series will ever have the same enormous impact as Harry Potter did? I'm talking about tens of thousands of people queuing up for midnight releases outside bookstores, millions of copies sold in 24 hours, a massive worldwide phenomena? This is the kind of thing which is usually associated with movies, maybe even music, imo it's still pretty unheard of to see the entire world go absolutely crazy for a book series, not just book lovers and fantasy readers and kids. It truly was something anyone from anywhere could enjoy. I really doubt its success will be repeated.

The YA book market has become so saturated since HP, to the point there's nothing unique about it anymore. This applies to fantasy in general tbh. Twilight was the closest thing to HP craze and even it wasn't nearly as big. I thought the Grisha Trilogy would have a similar worldwide craze but it didn't happen, it seems like fantasy bildungsromans have been milked way too much these the past decades
No. 214184
>>214122I actually think that the Hunger Games and maybe the Percy Jackon/Heroes of Olympus series were probably the last big craze, everything else comes and goes really quickly that a long standing community just won't happen. There's something different about fandoms today compared to fandoms from the 2000-2010s and that's probably due to the platforms we have nowadays.
>>214134>I think a urban fantasy with teenage protagonists would be treated as some kind of Harry Potter plagiarismI think a story has to do a bit more in order ot get slapped with the HP ripoff label, the story has to take place in a boarding magic/wizard/witch school eg: Little Witch Academia. Other stories did urban fantasy before HP.
Does a YA need a movie adaptation in order to have the same influence HP had? I remember a lot of people would actually read the books (or at least the first 2) and took pride in doing so. The movies were a cherry on top for the most part.

Some nonna here made me ship Severus with James and now I kinda ship Severus with anyone really, but I think the biggest gay was Sirius simply because I reread the books and guy is fucking obsessed with James and has no meaningful interactions with any woman ever (unless I missed something but I don't think I did). Remus is alright, I think he was very entertaining in book 3 (I really like his looks in the movie) and I like his interactions with Snape too, but Sirius and Snape in book 5 was amazing, I like the contrast.. ugly, the guy no one likes, in comparison with Sirius who is good looking (which harry noticed a bunch of times, like, get a grip harry) and very liked by others.
Too bad that looking out for fics you have to filter a bunch of bullshit and nasty stuff, and when you deal with that there is random indian James. I don't really mind racebending some characters, but I just can't wrap my head around indian James, and definitely not around uwu soft James defensor of the oppressed, which is my biggest complaint about fics, how ooc they are prone to make the marauders or Snape (and also Draco in drarry fics, to the point he is a completely different character). I like when the authors show how bad James and his group can be but many times you get fics that do this and completely change the snarky asshole Snape is and he becomes this uwu soft timid guy that do nothing wrong, gimme a break, I'm saying this as someone who really liked how insufferable he was in the books. It's like people can't write grey characters, they really need to bash one side or the other and that takes all the fun of the story imo. I mean, if I needed that clear division between good and evil I would watch some Lion King or something
I already said that but I really like adult Sirius and Lupin and Snape interactions. It really shows how Snape and Sirius never really grew up, they're stuck forever in that teen/young adult mentality. Snape comes across more as a manchild because of the amount of times we see him losing his temper (that part in book 3 where the minister says he is "quite unbalanced" comes to mind, even Pomfrey told him to calm down lmao, and him bitterly outing Lupin's werewolf condition not much later) but I'd say Sirius definitely never had a chance to grow past his teen self, reading him talking to Snape (Grimmauld Place) is like he is still a dumb kid, but without his little group to help him, only Harry to keep them from fighting, which highlights how pathetic and childish this whole thing is.
Also I know Snape is supposed to be ugly but all I can see is Alan Rickman even when I read the books that have little illustrations, my mind completely ignores them. I can even hear the guy.

I like how Rowling wrote a lot of characters with fun descriptions that didn't just focus on describing how attractive the character was unless they were actually meant to be beautiful. If you compare the actors in the movies to the book descriptions they are obviously more attractive, but even here I still think they did a better job at making the actors look just normal attractive and not instagram-like as in most movies that come out nowadays starring teenagers and young adults. Their clothes and everything look natural on them and not like costumes, much like how I imagined while reading the books. Just something I appreciate whenever I rewatch the movies. Kind of like how the old LotR movies as well managed to have a more natural feel to them despite being in a fantasty setting.

Anticipating having a few conversations like "Rowling said transphobic things, oh no I didn't know, SHOW me EXACTLY what she said. Huh what's transphobic about saying cis and trans are biologically different idgi?? Here she says she loves and supports trans people, why did you cut that out…?" I'm so ready.

abusive household into another nightmare, losing the only true friend/family she had. Realising later in life that maybe what she’d felt was love and that now she’ll never know because that part of her has being locked away because of all the death eater shit.

>>251421I would love to read a fic like that too. I like one sided snape/lily relationship but if he was female that would be absolutely amazing, I'd love to see more about their friendship in a female perspective instead of the retarded incel one, and especially if the author didn't try to sugarcoat snape's bitterness and temper and all the shit he's done. God only knows how many fics I've read where he is suddenly turned good guy all along while james and his group are almost little voldemorts themselves, no nuance at all. Anyway, I just love "
problematic" female characters, snape would be so interesting as a woman.
Speaking of james' friends, the amount of fics that completely ignore peter's existence are astonishing. Worse are the ones he is there but he is obviously so evil that makes snape look like the paragon of virtue. How would these people be friends with peter if he was so obviously not trustworthy? Come on, I don't need peter's sad backstory or some great plot explaining why he became a death eater to feel bad about him, I just want him to not be written so badly.

>>251440Female snape would be really interesting, especially with all the short comings and temper. If I was a better writer I’d write a fic, it’d be mega tragic.
I know that Peter wasn’t picked up by the audience for redemption because ugly (big fan of petunia redemption fics, sad there aren’t more) but he seems like he could be an interesting character to explore. Why was he so cowardly? When all the other marauders acted like brothers why was Peter the one that betrayed them? Was he only part of the marauders because he bunked with them? Was he their target when snape wasn’t around? Why was he so bitter, being ugly seems like a petty reason especially given that magic exists (glamours and such)? He seems like an easily moldable single dimensional character with a lot of exploration potential. Does anyone have any fic recs for Peter, I’d be curious what some writers have come up with that isn’t just treating him like he doesn’t exist?
No. 251483
>>251477Yeah that’s what I remembered but wasn’t 100%. I wonder if there’s a fic where everyone lives and Peter is held accountable for his betrayal (how did he feel with that resentment eating at him but James trusting him with his families safety. Was James just desperate and settled for Peter and Peter realised or had James grown enough to truly trust Peter just as much if not more then Sirius?). I’m in a really fanfic mood, I love redemption stories and stories where someone has to answer for the things they’ve done, good cathartic stuff.
>>251480I could only find one in my bookmarks,
https://archiveofourown.org/works/3073562 No. 251512
>>251474I see Peter as someone who lacks confidence. Some fics like to make him utterly stupid I think because he is said to be not very talented and Voldemort calls him stupid in the books and during the marauders era he was just the "fat little boy that followed james and sirius around". I don't think he is the smart one but he seems far from actually stupid, especially when you remember him trying to manipulate his way out of the accusations in PoA. Also Harry imagine him looking like Neville kek.
If I were to write a fic, I would make confidence a big factor for him breaking allegiances, the wanting to feel valued, and the fact Voldemort's side could potentially be the winning side. I guess he would rather be on the winning side. I mean, he is kinda like Lupin when it comes to bullying Snape. Unless I'm misremembering, he wasn't the one doing anything, these were Sirius and James, and all he would do was laugh (and I imagine give support when asked to), that's pretty much him being on the winning side. Lupin doesn't laugh but he also does not intervine, yet his spineless ass gets redemption that is often explained in fics as lack of confidence and fear of being ostracized by his friends. I think Peter could be similar, except Peter also likes winning and he doesn't have many options because he doesn't have the confidence to stand on his own, know what I mean? I think there was a part in the books where Voldemort says Peter wouldn't be there with him if he had anywhere else to go, like he kinda regrets his choices and now he is stuck with the side that is losing and that doesn't value nor trust him at all, but he can't simply leave, he always comes back because he needs to be part of something.
I don't really want a redemption arc for Peter like he is a poor little guy who was forced into doing terrible shit. Peter might like being a bully himself, I don't think he needs to be written like Remus, who tends to regret not doing the right thing in the fics (don't remember if he says something about not intervining in the books) I just wish there was some nice fic that is less black and white when it comes to the marauders vs Snape. Like what led them to the paths they ultimately have chosen?
I like that James is an arrogant bully, he is the complete opposite of Harry and I like that Sirius and Snape keep projecting this image of James onto Harry because he physically resembles his dad (remember that part of the book where Harry seemed to be more upset that his dad was showing off and messing with his hair than when he bullied Snape, kekk, priorities I guess! I wonder if that's because Harry gets compared to his dad all the time and seeing that he is like "wtf, I'm not that retarded, is that how they see me?"). I think there is a part in the books where someone tells Snape that Harry is not at all like James (Dumbledore probably) and Sirius begins to see it. Harry seems to be a lot more like his mom. Anyway, James is much more interesting that way, I'm tired of goody two shoes James but I'm also not into James the complete monster.
>>251483Ooh I wanna read a fic like that, guy has a lot of potential to be an interesting character and make the fics angsty. People keep passing it up cus he is ugly and unshippable.

>>251483> Was James just desperate and settled for PeterI read a fic where the reason James made Peter their secret keeper was because no one would expect it. Maybe that was how it went in the books as well? I've only seen the movies.
In the fic Sirius was suspecting Remus bc of reasons specific to the fic and by the time he'd done awful shit to Remus as revenge for the betrayal along with something else he misguidedly blamed Remus for and figured out it was Peter it was much too late, the scene where Sirius arrives at the Potter residence is heartbreaking. No. 251634
>>251627It is true, that's how it goes on the books.
Taken straight out of PoA:
>“Harry . . . I as good as killed them,” he croaked. “I persuaded Lily and James to change to Peter at the last moment, persuaded them to use him as Secret-Keeper instead of me. . . . I’m to blame, I know it. . . ."Also
>“Lily and James only made you Secret-Keeper because I suggested it,” Black hissed, so venomously that Pettigrew took a step backward. “I thought it was the perfect plan . . . a bluff. . . . Voldemort would be sure to come after me, would never dream they’d use a weak, talentless thing like you. . . . It must have been the finest moment of your miserable life, telling Voldemort you could hand him the Potters.”Dunno how I forgot about that part, Sirius doesn't seem like he respected Peter much even before all that, so, yeah, I can see why peter would betray them.
No. 251645
>>251634Damn, that’s cold but also well deserved. So I guess Peter wasn’t really a friend so much as “just around” and Remus’ kindness in including him. Makes more sense why he had no sense of loyalty to them, he was just a hanger on as well as probably being treated with hostility from potentially both James and Sirius.
Someone needs to give that kid some actual friends. What would have to change for Peter to actually become a friend without necessarily breaking the whole coward/follower character traits?
It’s a shame Remus, Lilly, Peter and Severus didn’t create their own little friendship group, I feel like Lilly would’ve had a riot with them putting James and Sirius in their place and any Slytherins trying to get in severus’ face about hanging out with a bunch of Gryffindors. Not to mention the intellect between them (maybe not necessarily Peter but I don’t think he’d be treated unkindly for it and the others could help).

No. 251871
>>251849Nta but even though I do like Harry I think anon has a point, some of the "good" characters are really up their own moral high horse, and at the same time, for how self righteous they are they only seem capable of seeing things in stark black and white.
Like, teen Snape seemed like a lonely kid going through his edgy phase and wasn't nearly as much of an asshole as adult Snape, yet Lily would rather have him have no friends than have friends she didn't approve of, even though later on she had no problem becoming friends with the biggest school bullies herself.
Ginny was ~oNe oF tHe bOyS uwu~ and she had this disproportionate rage boner against Fleur for not fitting her moral standards (even calling her "phlegm"), even though Fleur is fucking based (I actually really love Fleur cause she seems like one the few female characters that isn't desperately trying to be liked, she just delivers it like it is, and her casual pettiness is funnier than Ginny's male pandering humor could ever hope to be).
Harry is the least unidimensional of these three obviously, but he still seems unable to consider different perspectives than light=good dark=evil.
Like for example, muggles used to hunt and attemp to kill witches and wizards in the past, and now wizards are forced to live in hiding, to the point that if a muggle as much as sees them doing magic they risk being sent to a prison where they're mentally tortured to the point most people end up going mad. Harry never once considers why some people would be upset about this, he automatically marks them all as evil.
Another example, there's probably so much dark magic that can be used for good and that could be useful for people, like Avada Kedavra delivers painless death, it could actually be extremely useful as a means of painless euthanasia. But Harry automatically marks dark magic as evil and thinks that anyone interested in it is evil too.
So yeah I agree these characters are stuck up and entitled, we're supposed to see them as good but they're also very prejudiced.

>>252008Sure, as long as you don't question the wizarding status quo.
If you find it a bit weird that your society revolves around hiding from muggles then you're a racist bigot. If you voice interest in the dark arts you're evil too, nevermind the fact that Hagrid literally crossbred manticores illegally, effectively making him a dark wizard by definition, but since he didn't call himself one it doesn't count huh.
I'm just saying some characters would have been more interesting if they had been more open minded. The good characters already have moral flaws (which is good) but still act self righteous as hell.
I think that's why a big chunk of the fandom is more into the "morally gray" characters.

And isn't that his main thing? His fascination with dark creatures and other dangerous beasts? Not only did he crossbred manticores with other creatures, he singlehandedly bred an entire colony of acromantulas too.
Don't get me wrong, Hagrid is based but the others are big hypocrites, any other character that shows interest in any form of the dark arts gets negative remarks.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/17607899This fic is so amazing, it’s the best HP fic I’ve read. It has past rape and torture in it (not between snupin) and it’s just such a brilliant hurt/comfort healing fic. Remus’ 5yo son is sooo adorable and Snape is surprisingly good w him while still being in character. There’s very detailed segments of potion brewing which is so realistic (for the HP universe I mean) and it’s so so interesting to read.

Crossing Lines
https://m.fanfiction.net/s/11993367/1/Crossing-LinesFred and George go back in time to the marauders era. Silly fun mostly. No pairings unless you're counting future James/Lily and one sided Snape/Lily. The focus is the twins and their limited knowledge of the future. I would've liked to see it developed further and the repercussions of their dumbassery but it was a fun ride either way.
The Peace Not Promised (snily)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/34943608/chapters/87019792Long ass peggy sue fic. Nice characterization but what I like about this one are the little details, the author does a good job incorporating everything she can from the books and movies, there are some silly parts here and there like you expect in a HP book. Lily has a personality and friends besides James' friends. There is a random tif but not the main characters nor the marauders, it was honestly written in such a normie way it doesn't bother much. I also like Snape & Dumbledore relationship. And speaking of terrible names like Albus Severus
Snape's son is called Albus Harry kek.

Just going to autistically rant but arthur weasley was bitten by nagini in the ministry of magic and laid there for several hours bleeding out before being rescued, and survived. meanwhile the potions master who has intimate knowledge of voldemort's pet snake and knows that as a spy he could be found out and killed any day, somehow can't survive the same, even though he probably has a bezoar in his pocket and can stitch up draco as he's bleeding out from 100 cuts with a custom healing spell. she killed snape off just because she couldn't write an ending with him alive, which also took away what would have been interesting, the characters realizing he was actually on their side the whole time. it's like she was too afraid of such an emotionally stimulating scenario that she took the coward's route and killed the character off rather than utilize the setup. i'll never not be angry, it ruined the entire series.

>>254956Guess thats why I'm not getting enough results, I always exclude snape/student ships, these pairings instantly turn me off. I don't mind if snape gets shipped with any other adults but I wish people would focus a bit less on shipping in this case. I'd like to see more snape & minerva too.
I don't remember much of the memories in the movie, been a while, gonna have to watch it again.. I like the memories in the book, they're really sweet, I think the prince's tale is my favorite chapter of the last book.
I like how jkr writes children. Most kid characters I've seen in other media act a bit too much like adults, or the complete opposite, like innocent little babies incapable of hurting a fly. I never had a problem with the kids in hp, they feel like kids imo. I can see the dumb boys I've met in sirius and james. I can see a bit of myself and my sister in young petunia and lily, like that part where petunia is envious of lily for being a witch and calls her a freak, reminds me of my sister and I fighting about stupid shit that doesn't matter anymore. I really like these tidbits, it puts these characters in a different light and they feel human. I mean, I know how petunia treats harry but I guess being an adult now I can see why she would turn like she did. And snape and sirius. All these kids letting bitterness consume them, not letting go of the past, growing up into messed up adults.. reading hp as an adult is a completely different experience and I relate and sympathize much more to the adult characters now, I just can't see them anymore as just good or evil like I used to when I was a kid. I also like that harry doesn't end up like them, that even when he does stupid shit and go through all that bad stuff, he doesn't end completely broken, bitter and messed up. I know people like writing fics where harry is a bit nutty and broken because of the war, but I've seen it already with the other adult characters and I like that harry tries staying positive and grows up and learns to forgive. It's a childrens book after all and I think harry is a good character the way he is, I didn't use to think so when I was a kid though.
Also while I like snily very much, I can't really fault lily for not staying with snape, even though I can make sense of why he chose what he did, he really made james seem like husband material when he walked that path. If he was a real guy, anyone here would be telling lily "drop him". He refused to change until he realized he could lose her forever.

I love him in the books, every interaction with harry is hilarious. I think the third book takes the cake, when draco tells him he saw harry's floating head in hogsmeade and he confronts "famous harry potter" and tells him his head is not allowed in hogsmeade, "no part of your body has permission to be in hogsmeade". And when he tries to open the map after threatening to burn it and lupin lies to his face about it. And when he is screaming that "THIS. HAS. SOMETHING. TO DO. WITH. POTTER!" when sirius escapes, "you don't know Potter! He did it, I know he did it".
Also this exchange in hbp:
“Do you remember me telling you we are practicing nonverbal spells, Potter?”
“Yes,” said Harry stiffly.
“Yes, sir.”
“There’s no need to call me ‘sir,’ Professor.”

"Professor Snape is out of his fucking mind" and Crouch Jr is sees it all how it is like this is my former death eater buddy

>>255055Can't believe I forgot about that, it's probably one of the funniest scenes of the books. And filch trying to prove peeves is stealing too and not wanting to give the egg he was holding:
“Now, Filch, if you’ll just give me that egg —”
“No!” said Filch, clutching the egg as though it were his firstborn son. “Professor Moody, this is evidence of Peeves’ treachery!”
I dunno why that makes me cackle, wish this were in the movie.

>>255027We get hints about Snape's childhood, we know that he was a very neglected child, that his muggle father hated magic and was
abusive. I think it's somewhat implied that Snape joined Voldemort because he thought it would give him the power to save his mother and himself from the abuse that the current system had allowed. If wizards had ruled the world then he and his mother would have never been abused by a muggle.
Also iirc the kiddos that joined Voldemort at the very beginning (like Snape and Regulus) didn't know that the guy was willing to torture and murder people, they joined because it seemed glamorous and because they agreed that wizards were entitled to be at the top of the totem pole. But shit got real for him when Lily was first targeted. Which btw she wasn't targeted for being muggleborn anyway, Voldemort was even willing to spare her life.
Anyway Snape spent the rest of his life atoning for his sins. He went above and beyond to protect his students, not only Harry, he risked his cover to try to protect George and he also protected Draco from Voldemort's wrath after Lucius had given his own son to Voldemort on a silver plate.
Snape did have an unlikable personality, he was bitter, petty, childish and mentally ill, but ultimately he wasn't really a bad person.

>Also iirc the kiddos that joined Voldemort at the very beginningWhat do you mean at the beginning? Death Eaters had long been established when Snape joined, I think his first followers were his classmates at Hogwarts and he was like 70 years when the books took place. Snape was what? early 30s?

No. 255463
>>255405Nta but I get she means it like how boys get excited for war. Everyone knows what is up with war, but it only gets real when you're there.
I guess I can see Snape and Regulus a bit like that too. Regulus was a fan of Voldemort before joining the death eaters if I remember correctly, so he must've known their activities, and probably Snape too. No way he was smart like that to figure Harry is running around the castle with his invibility cloak after seeing that map a year before and didn't put two and two together to understand how Voldemort and his group would rise to power. But knowing torture and death isn't always enough to dissuade boys from war.
Now we don't know much about Regulus. He probably believed all that crap but maybe didn't like how Voldemort was operating and got disilluded, dunno, not much in the books to tell me so it is conjecture, but Snape didn't seem to care at all if people were going to die. I honestly got the impression he hates the pure bloods as much as the muggles because he can't be one of them. So he is the type of guy that joins a bad group because he can be someone, I don't think his beliefs are 100% aligned with the pure blood friends of his. But that's not to say he is a poor baby that didn't know any better, before you start.
>Snape was what? early 30s?He joined probably early after graduation, no exact age given but he was 20 or 21 when he went to beg Dumbledore to save Lily, so he was death eater before that. In his 30's while bullying Harry.
>He, a grown ass adult man, bullied Harry, an innocent orphan who never even knew his parents, because he didn't like his father and wanted to bone his mother.We know he is petty and bitter and stuck in the past, Sirius, calm down.
No. 255522
>>255405But it's canon that people didn't expect Voldemort to be capable of all that shit. Sirius says it when he talks about Regulus, he says something like Voldemort only showed his true colors later. And Regulus was younger than Snape so presumably he joined Voldemort even later than Snape. Regulus was born in 1961 and died in 1979 so he was either 17 or 18 when he died.
I think it was mentioned that many people would join Voldemort as soon as they left Hogwarts, but it's never specified exactly when Snape joined, though as other anon mentions he was 20 or 21 when he left the dark side.
Also the light side was racist regardless, that's something Voldemort took advantage of to get oppressed communities on his side, like werewolves and giants. At least Voldemort could disguise his shit as standing up to the "dominant class", as it's wizards who had to hide from muggles and who had been persecuted by them in the past.

No. 255810
Maybe it’s because a lot of lolcows demographic skews young but falling into fanatical groups is very easy. It’s why churches exist, political parties (US in particular) and cults. People want to belong, we are social creatures by design. It’s easy to tip someone’s balance of normal especially when they’re vulnerable.
We see this in real life, people cutting off healthy body parts, people dehumanizing others. It reminds me a lot of the whole “if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything”. Except a lot of people have convinced themselves that the thing they stand for isn’t the thing they fell for.
Now onto the sperg about snape for any nonnies that enjoy this kind of thing.
So from the start I imagine snape glommed onto Lilly because she was like him! She could understand what it was being a magical child in a muggle world, except she couldn’t. Her parents loved her, so what was wrong with him that his didnt? What was wrong with him that his only friend couldn’t see how cruel muggles truly were? That having magic doesn’t protect you from cruelty, it just opens you up to a different kind? She was happy at hogwarts without him but he was in hell and it didn’t make sense. What was wrong with him? Why couldn’t he be happy (why did no one want him)?
Then he calls Lilly a mudblood, doesn’t matter the reasons, he knows that, he regrets it instantly. But suddenly he’s a real Slytherin! All the people around him in his immediate circle of influence think it’s wonderful, he sure showed that uppity mudblood! They know muggles are cruel, they know wizards are too but what are they if not those same cruel wizards? Now he has a community, he has understanding! He is truly not alone for the first time and this time it’s REAL! This time he’s found people that understand him, think he’s valuable. Want him.
Slowly though, he sees through the thrill of belonging. He questions constantly his rejection of Lilly, he’s blind cruelty towards her. He gets older and the hate he’s supposed to have is now to include violence and war and terror. In trying to gain control he’s lost it completely and handed it to people he thought he trusted but with age and perspective he realizes he cant. He doesn’t even know them! And they don’t know him. All they do is parrot the right words, repeat the same lines at each other, just for each individuals pursuit of power, control or community.
The reason doesn’t matter any more, just the outcome. Just the looming consequences, which to his great shame and guilt, I imagine, fall on Lilly and her child (and to a lesser concern James and his ilk). He can never fix it, never make amends, never be better. All he could truly do to make it up is die.
He’s vulnerable, alone, but someone comes along and tells him “I can give you control, I can fix this with you! You can make amends! I’ll tell you how, just trust me. We really need you.” And it doesn’t matter what he has to suffer (he’s always suffered, this isn’t that different, he’d suffer a thousand lifetimes if he could just makes things right), even if he has to see Lilly’s child who he orphaned. Has to be faced with the consequences of what he participated in every day in the faces of innocent children (that was once him, how many would walk his path? How many would walk Lilly’s?). It doesn’t matter though, the only thing that does is fixing his past mistakes, is making things better. He may never truly find belonging but at this point he doesn’t deserve it.
In the end though he dies, disgraced, hated, alone. He even dies in a way he should know how to overcome and I can’t help but wonder if that wasn’t intentionally. That he decided he was done and nothing more he could do would ever make up for his past.
Anyway, just because people find catharsis in a character doing tremendous evil and trying to make amends doesn’t mean theyre apologizing for Nazis or saying they were right or whatever. Sometimes people do small insignificant wrongs that they feel they can never set right and seeing a character who has done quantifiable evil and then trying to fix it and make amends brings a kind of peace. It makes it easier to believe that the small things we do wrong don’t have to be our defining feature. That if we strive for reconciliation with those we’ve wronged we might one day succeed in earning their forgiveness or at the very least be able to make peace with our failures.
If you’ve made this far and you’re a fan of seeking redemption snape fics rec me your faves!
