I’m not the biggest Harry Potter fan but I have to give them credit for one thing, when time came for the movies they hired real life 11 year olds and stuck with them, there was no hiring older teenagers or 20 somethings to play kids, nope, they were kids.
Imagine other films had done that, like Percy Jackson for example, in the first book he’s 12 years old, but in the movie he’s played by Logan Lerman (who was 18 at the time)
um here’s a what a 12 year old Percy would have really looked like
can we stop casting 20 and 30 year olds to play teenagers and 18 year olds to play middle schoolers? (both Annebeth and Glover were played by people in their 20s) kids deserve heroes as much (and maybe more) than any one, heroes who you know, look like them.
Yes!!! I think this is why children have such a critical eye on their own bodies and what they perceive as normal. They see themselves as what a 20 yr old looks like. I’m tired of older people playing children. It’s tiresome!
Idk, maybe it’s because they’re all MINORS?? most of whom aren’t even 16?? And the target audience is even YOUNGER?? Jesus Christ use your brain
Who the hell cares, Laci? Also, there are 11 YEAR OLDS IN THAT CASTLE.
We don’t need to know the sex lives of all of the students and/or faculty.
JK Rowling has a story to tell and if she doesn’t feel like including sex then by God she does not need to.
Also several characters have children in the end. I think you’re smart enough to put two and two together.
I’d also like to point out thateven if there were certain relations going on in Hogwarts, the story doesn’t need to cover it.
I mean, I’m pretty sure all the characters had to take a shit at some point too but we didn’t need to have that written down.
Why are they sexualising HARRY POTTER WHAT THE FUCK?? ITS A BOOK WITH MINORS AS THE TARGET AUDIENCE, LEAVE IT ALONE.
The books and films are for kids, you dumb shit. Yes, minors have sex with each other, but we don’t show that to a bunch of 10 year old’s.
Wouldn’t it have also been illegal in some countries, since it could be caught up in sexual abuse/pedophilia laws?
I mean Albus is apparently gay, which is illegal in some of the countries that have the book, so it wouldn’t surprise me if/when she tries to make the next gen HP it’s included.
Book about minors for minors doesn’t cover sex and is given shit for being unrealistic because of that
“I’m disgusted,” said Professor McGonagall. “Four students out of bed in
one night! I’ve never heard of such a thing before!”
(from the philosopher’s stone)
minerva you fucking liar
so ok i bet minerva’s spent like the last thirty years pretending to students that their transgressions are totally unique new crimes just to really shame them
sneaking off to the astronomy tower to make out? she’s never heard of such a thing before. sneaking into the herbology greenhouses to find something to get high on? she’s never heard of such a thing before. sneaking off to the forbidden forest to make out and get high? she’s never heard of such a thing before. sneaking off to the kitchens for midnight snack parties (while high and making out)? she’s never heard of such a thing before. trying to sneak back into the tower via flying a broom through an outside window after a previously successful night of misdoing? she’s never heard of such a thing before and neither has the pink lady.
not since she was in school and doing all that herself, anyway.
This is literally what teachers do.
They have to make it seem like every misbehaviour is new and shocking because if they just went “damn son that’s nothing, when I was your age I jumped off the school roof and yelled fuck all the way down” it would be impossible to give them detention for throwing a pen across the room.
I was once in a lesson during my teacher training where a kid left a drawing of a dick on the teacher’s chair and she acted like the kid had killed her puppy in front of her. After the lesson we both laughed our asses off about it, she wasn’t insulted in the least, it just wasn’t acceptable behaviour.
Tl;dr Minerva is being a great teacher, and she’s probably got a poll going with the other staff at Hogwarts as to what crazy shit Harry and Co. will do next.
yes i love this. she probably got back to the staff room and was like ‘ALRIGHT, LET’S MARK IT DOWN, I JUST CAUGHT POTTER THE SEQUEL SNEAKING OUT ON A MISADVENTURE WITH HIS LITTLE FRIENDS,’ and everyone groans and rummages in their pockets to settle their bets.
reasons the harry potter universe is fucked up #82932: there is the ghost of a murdered child in the bathroom and everyone treats it like a minor inconvenience
If I was Voldemort and I had to pick six horcruxes (written at 12:45 AM):
The ocean. I mean h-how do you kill it? It’s the ocean. Like just imagine little Harry Potter trying to punch an ocean. Hilarious.
The moon. Same concept. You can’t exactly kill the moon no matter how much a certain professor with a furry little problem may want to.
Hogwarts. Like the actual building. I mean I know you can easily destroy it but come on do you know how psychologically scarring it would be for Harry and thousands of other witches/wizards to have to blow their castle to smithereens?
Ron Weasley. Bwahahaha can you imagine? The only way Harry would be able to defeat me is if he killed his best friend? Classic.
Hermione Granger. See: Ron Weasley.
The universe. Can I do that? Who says I can’t? I’m Lord MF Voldemort.
Q “Why is a raven like a writing desk?” A “You shouldn’t shove either up your arse.” “…Technically, yes.”
Imagine it, a poor First Year is waiting outside the common room, they can’t answer the riddle in a way to appease the eagle and must wait until someone else to answer it for them. It’s getting late, they’re starting to resign themselves to having to spend the night here.
Suddenly, their saviour comes! It’s a seventh year! Back from a night finishing off their Araithmancy essay in the Library. They look angry, but our poor little first year squares their shoulders, waiting to see what will happen, and hope that they’ll keep the door open for them.
The Seventh Year bangs the handle against the wall, and a slightly disgruntled voice asks the question again: “What is the truth?”
The Student Replies, “The Truth is that I am so fucking sick of all these mother fucking questions about stupid fucking topics like this you bloody fuck-witted bastard. Who in the name of Merlin’s saggy left testicle gives a fucking damn about all this shit anyway? I’ve been working my arse off in the library for the last seven hours now let me the fuck in or, truthfully, I’ll blast my way in and take you with me.”
The eagle knocker tutts, but allows the student entry anyway, and our little first year enters, eyes wide and in shock. They watch the seventh year go up to their bedroom, awe all over their face at their new hero. They did, indeed, learn something that day by waiting for someone to arrive, they learnt that swearing has a magic all of it’s fucking own, and that sometimes it is big and clever to use it.
