>harry potter's letter was addressed to "the cupboard under the stairs", so dumbledore would have known his living situation>hogwarts had to send hundreds of letters, so dumbledore would have known they were trying to prevent him from going to hogwarts >ms figg was a squib under dumbledore's employ, who would have seen their abuse of himso dumbledore knew about the dursleys abusing him. how will they explain that in the new tv show, where the first season will spend a lot more time on his pre-hogwarts life?
>>220517892Yes, he knew that they were nasty people. But they wouldn't have killed Harry or let him die. And that was enough. They provided a useful smokescreen against hostile wizards, despite being terrible people.
>>220518585>it's okay for harry to be abused and raised with no magical knowledge when there are dark wizards who will 100% want to hurt/kill himwas he retarded?
>>220518611Harry was simply a weapon against voldemort. Nothing mattered outside of using Harry to get rid of the horcruxes and then himself to kill voldemort for good.
Another inorganic thread by a reddit tourist that will necrobump it for 12+ hours
>>220517892Something about the aunt's blood protecting him or some bullshit. Realistically he couldn't have stayed with anyone else without Voldemort finding out.
Dumbledore almost became a paraplegic from excessive leg stretching. He simply was unable to walk all the way to Surrey
>>220517892harry potter is a vibes experience, the second you look closely and consciously rowling's shallow stupidity reveals itself constantlybest to just enjoy the magic of the first two movies
>>220517892It's whimsical!Haven't you had any whimsy in your life?
In the books Dumbledore having permitted the Dursleys to abuse Harry for years and making Harry go back there year after year was explained / retconned in one of the later books, I want to say Order or Half-Blood Prince.The gist is that the 'love spell' Harry's mum cast upon him unknowingly when she sacrificed herself to save baby Harry persists under the shared blood of Aunt Petunia, while Harry is still a child (legally). So the Dursley household was the safest place for Harry when not at Hogwarts.When Harry finally moves out of Privet Drive (I want to say to live at Sirius' old house?) Dumbledore personally visits the Dursleys and gives them a polite but stern bollocking for having been horrible to Harry and scares them with magic.
>>220517892Not only did Dumbledore know how poverty stricken Harry was (and didn't care), he threw in the 'Little Whinging' (not an actual place) to imply that Harry was a moaning little bitch who needed to stop complaining about his dead parents and instead just bend over and take it up the tailpipe like the filthy little child prostitute he was. As a wizened homosexual sorcerer with an exciting variety of sexually transmitted diseases, Dumbledore had a weakness for young boy's bottoms but he found Harry's relentless self-pity to be distasteful so after several bottles of brandy he set fire to the Dursleys house to teach young Potter a lesson. Harry awoke just in time to the terrifying sight of flames closing in around him on all sides. Fortunately this would not be a problem because at that exact moment the burning staircase collapsed in on top of him, killing him instantly.
>>220517892It's magic, I ain't gotta explain shit
>>220517892They are bongs, getting abused by authority figures is normal to them
>>220517892look Rowling was just some ESL teacher writing a dumb kids book to cash in, she never thought about these things until it took off unexpectedly
>>220517892Dumbledore needed to keep him safe until he was old enough to deal with the horcruxes. Unprotected any Voldemort follower could find him and use him to resurrect Voldemort which would be bad whilst all the horcruxes were all still intactShitty as his aunt and uncle were, the charm his mother placed on him kept him safe from magic users whilst housed with them and it was the safest place for him to be.It's heavily implied that Dumbledore never gave a shit about Harry, it was all about being able to make Voldemort mortal again and he knew at some point Harry would have to "die" for this to happen.
zogslop
FTR, Dumbledore likely knew, but the one in charge of sending the letters was McGonagall.
>>220518905DIE, POTTER!
>>220517892Good thing Harry didn't grow up to be a vindictive asshole
Little Whinging? Why? Fuck is Rowings problem
>>220519114>unexpectedlyIt actually only sold a grand total of 500ish copies before a WB producers(David Heyman) assistant recommended it and convinced him to buy the rights.Then Scholastic and WB gave it the jew pump and bank rolled Rowling for every book after 2You won't here about this anymore now that Rowling came out in favor of trannies again and they've already started pushing the fake marketing story jews came up for her again.
>>220518585Noone should have been surprised if harry had become psychopathic, depressed or a rabid wizard supremacist after the childhood he had. It was a serious gamble on dumbledores part that he would come out of that as a generally well adjusted and motivated person.Frankly, this sounds like material for a pretty interesting fan fiction.
>>220519325>Rowling came out in favor of trannies again?
Dumbledore was probably too busy having gay anal sex to worry about Harry's living conditions
>>220519402Giwtwm
>>220519280As a true British aristocrat and sadist of the noblest blood she instinctively sensed her inherent superiority to the unwashed masses long before she made her millions.
>>220519168schizo
>>220518676so dumbleore is evil
>>220518765>my first experience with HP was the second movie where he was dueling and talking to snakes and fighting a giant basiliski thought he was going to be so much more awesome than he ended up being
>>220517892Dumbledore is like Allah, he believes that suffering builds character
>>220517892Yes, yes, well done, baby Harry. You just survived a murder attempt and were left horribly scarred and your dear family is dead. Well done, baby Harry. HOWEVER
>>220517892>how will they explain that in the new tv showdumbledore knows about white slaveryhe will step down at end of 2nd episode to let black snape lead
>>220518905And he was a good friend.
>>220519891The Slithering are all kuffar, that's why he tortures them the most until they convert.
>>220519860Yes, the utilitarian kind. Anything to defeat a rival. Snape even called him out on it and was pissed Dumbledore was using his oneitus' spawn to kill voldemort.
>>220518727yeah, rowling did genuinely attempt to explain this even if it's a fairly garbage reason
>>220518803>>220520106Never mind the fact that Dumbledore could have shown up at their door at any time and threatened and frightened them with magic not to abuse Harry so badly, and he would have still had the same protection. He just shows up after they've already abused him for 17 years just to give them a "stern" lecture about it?
>>220517892Dumbledore doesn't care, he let Sirius rot in prison for 12 years without a trial. Wizards don't even have habeas corpus.
>>220520154Too much risk that they would have tried to get rid of Harry if they fully understood the situation I think.
I get that the magical family protection of being with the Dursleys prevents dark wizards from finding him or hurting him, but I still don't understand why Dumbledore waited FIVE FUCKING YEARS after Harry started Hogwarts to start giving him private lessons. If it's so important that he kill Voldemort shouldn't you be trying to turn him into a super wizard from the second he steps through the gates?Instead Dumbles just hides in his office jerking off to gay wizard porn or whatever he does in there
>>220520106>>220518727they explained the blood protection but not why dumbledore didn't walk in there and tell them to stop abusing himor why he/another teacher like mcgonnagal didn't teach him any magic before he started
>>220517892I like the idea of Dumbledore just winging the entire plan, because he's used to just brute forcing everything.
>>220519217Its german. He meant: The Bart, The.
>>220518905>Harry Potter if it was good
>>220519869I was waiting for a Wizard-Goku level of power. Ended up being a Wizard-Luke Skywalker level.
>>220517892>how will they explain that in the new tv show, where the first season will spend a lot more time on his pre-hogwarts life?It's their culture.
they fed him, cared for him, made him go to school, gave him a bed to sleep on. you can call it "abuse" that they were mean to him and clearly didn't like him as much as their actual son, but nothing they did rose to the level where even today's oversensitive child services would have done shit about it
>>220518803>>220520154It's 15 years, not 17, and Harry is 16. Other wizards also threaten the Dursleys before that, likely with Dumbledore's blessing. Each year he stays with the Dursleys his treatment improves after the 3rd book.>>220520193Dumbledore believed, like everyone else except for Sirius, Peter, the death eaters already imprisoned and Voldy himself, that Sirius was guilty. Though it is a bit stupid on Rowling's part I agree. >>220520576He wanted to protect Harry from his fate and thought (foolishly, by his own admittance), that he had more time. Voldy doesn't even come back until Harry is nearly 15.>>220519131>It's heavily implied that Dumbledore never gave a shit about HarryIt straight up said he tried not to but couldn't resist caring about him. That's why Dumbledore nearly fucks everything up.
>>220520576>>220520981To add on to this, Dumbledore couldn't give Harry private lessons in the fifth book because Voldemort would have used the connection with Harry to attack Dumbledore. It nearly happens once. The only thing that ends up saving Harry when this does eventually happen, and Voldemort tries to get Dumbledore to kill Harry in the hope of returning Voldy to horcrux form, is Harry's massive grief over Sirius's recent death.
>>220520822>starved him>emotionally abused him>made him their house elf
>>220521089>dumbledore can't teach harry because he thinks voldemort will use him to attack dumbledore>so instead he has the guy who harry hates the most in the world, and who is harry's second biggest hater, teach him insteadwow never thought that could blow up
He had the guy who was their secret double agent teaching the child whose thoughts were directly linked to their enemy
>>220522401The boy was trouble.
>>220520576He hadn't considered that Voldemort could get inside his head up until that point.I think he'd always assumed that he'd have more time before Voldemort was fully resurrected in general
>>220517892Yeah but Dumbledore was banking on Harry not working this out-which he didn't
>>220522431Yeah he even says his old age blinded him to the temperament of those younger.
>>220522401he had it coming. They even gave him Dudley's second room, just out of the goodness of their heart, when he deserved to rot in a shack for what he had done
>>220518611If you know that someone wants to hurt you, will you live without going crazy?
>>220523539he found out when he was 11 years old anyway and was wholly unprepared for itbetter for him to do training, even if he didn't understand why, from a younger age. though from the quality of education at hogwarts, maybe muggle schools were better
