I FINALLY BOUGHT ALL THE FUCKING HARRY POTTER BOOKS.

THIS IS THE HAPPIEST MOMENT IN MY LIFE AND WILL ALWAYS BE. I CAN'T BELIEVE I AM THIS LUCKY. OH GOD, HE REALLY IS BLESSING ME RIGHT NOW.

As a new Potterhead, this is one of the biggest achievement I've got since I'm in this fandom. Now I can read the books after watching the movies way too much. And now I can compare the scenes from the books and the movies. And I'm pretty much sure the books are better than movies. But I don't really know because I just read few chapters on the first book.

So, I just wanna say thanks to my mom because buying me these books. It was expensive at my place. So, thank you so much mom for these. Love you 😘

Okay now I'm gonna read all the books and I'm so excited to read the sixth book because they said this book is that time when Harry is obsessed with Draco. And you know me love some Drarry actions. 😉😏

I have a fic rec for Harry Potter

Warning: This fic is incomplete and posted anonymously.

With that out of the way, this is one of my top 5 favorite fanfics of all time, ever. It’s the only Harry Potter fic there.

The character that changes the most here is Draco (and Pansy), but everyone else is slight enough to be believable. It’s their choices and relations that change the story. (Like most good fanfics)

Now, there are no ships, but if you’re a fan of Dramione or Pansmione or Drarry or even Ronmione, you could definitely read it with those in mind. All the characters have very interesting dynamics with each other.

The houses thing: You won’t be able to unsee it.

Without further ado: Harry Potter and The Year That Four 1st Years Solved The Inter-House Unity Problem

Or Part 1 of A Ravenclaw, a Hufflepuff, a Gryffindor, and a Slytherin walk into a bar....

(I was on Reddit, someone asked for Harry Potter must reads, so I commented this. Thought I’d share.)

It always pissed me off that Ron didn’t believe Harry didn’t enter himself into the Triwizard Tournament. I mean, this is the guy who defended him from Malfoy in the Express, who fought a troll and smuggled a dragon with him, who shared what he saw in the Mirror of Erised with him, went through the challenges to save the Philosopher’s Stone from Quirrel and that’s just in first year! And that little shit had the gall to turn to him and call him an attention seeking liar and a glory hound? I still can’t believe Harry forgave him. That kid has no self-esteem. If it was me, I would have kick Ron in the balls and refused to even look at him again.

I have been analysing some of Snape’s scenes recently and when I was looking at his very first line in the books, I noticed something that I never really seem to see people point out.

“What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?” - The Philosopher’s Stone, The Potions Master

We all know that this scene can be interpreted as “I bitterly regret Lily’s death” but let’s focus more on asphodel.

In the past, asphodel was said to be used as a remedy for venomous snake bites.

What was Snape killed by again? Ah yes, a venomous snake bite. His death was foreshadowed all the back in his very first line of dialogue.

Snape could’ve survived Nagini’s bite if he simply had some asphodel but…

His Lily died a long time ago.
