I’m sorry but if you try to tell me there are only three wizard schools in the ENTIRE magical world I will fight you.
I wanna see Indian wizardry schools
Japanese magic schools where the house ghosts have shrines
Schools hidden in sand dunes and enchanted to look like mirages
American schools hidden in Roswell and Salem
Public magical schools for kids that don’t want to leave home for seven years
GIVE ME ALL THE WIZARD SCHOOL HEAD CANONS!
In Prisoner of Azkaban, Lupin tells Harry the dementors affect him worse than the others because he has horrors in his past that others haven’t got. But why would his worst experience be the night his parents died, something he doesn’t actually witness, remember, or understand? Surely that’s nothing compared to the encounter with the giant-ass snake that nearly killed him in the Chamber of Secrets.
But what if, as a horcrux, he’s experiencing the effects from Voldemort’s perspective? Riddle’s worst fear is death. The night he tried to kill Harry, he very nearly died, was ripped from his body, and lost all his power. Not only is it Riddle’s worst memory, it’s also much worse than anything Harry’s ever experienced, so it’s what the dementors latch on to. He collapses under the combined pressure of Riddle’s horror and his own shock at having the them tap into the other soul co-existing in his body.
Harry Potter AU in which Fred and George are in different houses and they steal and wear each others ties whilst doing stupid things in hope of the others house losing points
Slytherin!Harry AU (x)
#no but slytherin harry would have been the ultimate choice from an authorial perspective#like the chosen one coming out of a house disgraced by racism and the dark arts#a living testament to the fact that slytherin house is the fast track to greatness and that good or evil is a CHOICE#also harry already had a brush with slytherin during his sorting and can speak parseltounge and all that awesome stuff#because lets be real harry is brave as hell but hes also cunning, determined to survive#a little duplicitious#and thrives on praise#slytherin harry could be besties with ron AND close to Draco#he could break down interhouse prejudice and be the bright light in a noble house that has fallen into darkness#he could put an end to the honestly awful Griffyndor/Slytherin bullying the GOES BOTH WAYS because screw this idea that you have to choose a side, that you have to compete with people who are different than you#and he could struggle with his inner demons the whole time#because characters that could easily go bad who get up every day choosing to be good will always be more important to me than inhernetly good ones
woah j.k. you da bomb.
A really cool analysis of Latin’s role in Harry Potter spells!
People don’t appreciate enough that Hogwarts had a giant squid in the lake. Not another magical beast. Not even a normal squid with magical properties. They just had a straight up giant squid in the lake and everyone was cool about it.
I’m sure its name’s something cutesy like ‘Cuddlebert’ because Hagrid raised it from a teensy little blob with teensy little tentacles and it still remembers him as its ‘Mum’. Now and then Hagrid goes down to the lake when no one’s around with an enormous barrel of fish and feeds Cuddlebert, who hugs him with its enormous tentacles, nearly squishing Hagrid while almost drowning him, and yet Hagrid sloshes back to his little house on the grounds with the biggest, soppiest grin on his hairy face.
