>Harry Potter's dad, James, died at age 21
>This is a 21 year old

The fuck?
>>
>>221213049
It isn't 21 years old. The adults in the movies are all older than their book counterparts because they really wanted to cast Alan Rickman as Snape, so they had to age up all of the characters from his Hogwarts class like Harry's parents and the Marauders.

>in lore
Yes, I'm well aware of how old Harry's dad was when he died in the books. Re-read what I wrote. In the books, Snape is supposed to be in his 30s. Alan Rickman is in his 50s playing Snape in the movies. They had to cast actors much older than their characters are in the books because it wouldn't have made since for Snape to look so much older than all of them.
>>
I don't think the author actually was thinking about the adult characters' ages much in respect to the timeline so later when somebody actually did the math they ended up younger than was probably intended.

they fucked the characters' ages by not deciding on a timeline.

the earlier films look fairly timeless. if they were set in 2001, more muggles would be talking on mobile phones, cars would look different, there'd be more charvas. it's all just terraced streets and woolly jumpers. it could be 1975, it could be 2005.

then in the 7th film they leave Hogwarts to run around London. all of a sudden it's modern Piccadilly Circus with (current) logos/advertisements/shops. a character is reading The Guardian and it has the 2010s logo, etc.

shit's weird, and the obvious solution was to just keep it timeless. surely by then, they knew they fucked up any references to actual dates/chronology...?

Daniel Radcliffe insisted that he get to “make a proppa film, in Lund’n Town. Nun’a this blooddy pixie dress op shite”! Then he headbutted the producer. His drunken outbursts were getting harder to contain at this point, so they had to sabotage their original artistic vision to contain them and get him over the line. Of course, as we all know, it didn’t work. The whole world knew how bad his mental state was after the disastrous premiere.

It's well known in the industry that Dan would hound and torment Warwick, subjecting him to strange and humiliating games. Some of these included using Warwick's head as a 'real-life' Quidditch post to deftly toss lead-weighted prop bludgers at while no one else was looking. Initially a light hearted romp, Rupert Grint and Alan Rickman had to begin physically restraining Radcliffe by the end of the Deathly Hallows Part 2 because Dan had begun to ardently believe he was 'so close to finally cracking that horrible little creature's bloated melon of a cranium' wide open once and for all. When Warwick complained to the producers that Radcliffe had been physically and verbally denigrating him for years, they initially yawned and tried to pretend like they couldn't see the frustrated imp stomping his feet in front of them. Finally, after rallying his midge union from the guild of allied ewoks and assembling a staircase made out of teapots, the producers conceded, but said that there wasn't anything that could be done about it because Radcliffe was Harry Potter, and Warwick was just some poxy dwarf they only invited on set because they thought he was an actual real-life house elf.

But that same situation is what makes people want to move quickly and get married and start families as quickly as possible. Nothing promotes basic human instincts like knowing you might not live to see tomorrow. There were plenty of babies born in concentration camps

They made the book characters older. It was a good call. 20 is way, way too young for a woman to have a child. Its kind of gross.

I don't think it was because of Rickman entirely, rather just that it looked better in film for Harry's parents to carry this idealised aura of comforting, unattainable maturity. Really emphasises the poor orphaned trope. Their debut is in the scene with the mirror, so it's essentially his mental image of what they would have looked like. Magic probably means the mirror could whisk up their actual appearances I guess as well.
Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think there's a moment prior to that where Harry actually saw what his parents looked like, but the film-makers decided to use that middle-aged look for the rest of the series, especially after Sirius Black's introduction.
Of course Harry eventually gets the scrapbook with the photographs from Hagrid at the end of the first book, but it could have made for an interesting contrast honestly if Harry's first glimpse at just how young his parents were when they died was meeting their ghosts right at the end.

Speaking of the Mirror of Erised, what if someone's greatest desire is genuinely a straightforward answer to a simple question? The mirror shows you your deepest desire, so if your innermost yearning is to know exactly how to construct an elaborate giant mousetrap game where Warwick Davis is forced to navigate obstacles, dodge swinging axes on balance beams over spike pits, and fend off gerbils with toothpicks, then what's stopping a person from simply staring into the mirror, extracting that knowledge, and then leaving? If Mulder stared into the mirror and learned that his sister was organ harvested and raped into a thousand pieces, then that basically makes the entirety of the X-Files pointless.
>>
>>221213049
Probably wanted to make Harry's parents look older so that they'd actually look like parents in order to avoid confusion from the children watching the movie.

Wait until you find out Lily, James, and Snape all went to Hogwarts during the worst years of The Troubles
>>
>>221219790
at a remote school implied to be in Scotland, i'm sure that affected them very deeply, anon.
>>
>>221220008

The Troubles regularly spilled over onto Mainland Europe anon. There were IRA cells cooperating with an international network of left-wing terrorists as far away as Japan. Also Hogwarts draws its students from all over the United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland and possibly even the Republic of Ireland, so The Troubles would have been VERY relevant.

The harsh realm of Scotland would have aged them prematurely regardless. We witness evidence of such in the climactic moments of the Half Blood Prince, when Ginny gave birth to Harry's third bairn at the same exact moment Dumbledore plunged to a grisly end in the courtyard of the Hogwarts tenements at the venerable old age of forty eight. Being completely blitzed on a mix of heroin and intense hatred towards his English relatives in Surrey, Harry of course was not present for the birth of his child, and instead spent the rest of the evening whinging in the rainy terrace of the Leaky Cauldron, drinking pumpkin juice (Irn-Bru) with Ron and Neville.

There's no way young Snape would have had trouble commanding puss
He had that alternative gothic aura in spades
A line of vacuous black-dyed bitches devout to his detached apathy tracing every brooding step
Something must have gone haywire during puberty, because from that timeline picture alone, he somehow transitioned from Edward Scissorhands Jr to a middle-aged conservative man experiencing a mid-life Cher-induced gender crisis all in the span of eight years
There's honestly a strong possible that Dumbledore may have, due to certain house biases, cheekily decided to completely fuck Snape's life up by dosing him with hormone replacement potions designed for mature witches from a young age
For the greater good, of course
