>Harry Potter's dad, James, died at age 21>This is a 21 year oldThe fuck?
>>221213049It 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.
using lots of sex and goon spells ages you
>>221213049as a kid this is what 21 year olds looked like to me
>>221213080nah harry's dad died 21 years old in lorehttps://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/James_Potter_(I)
He's a bong.
>>221213049he aged like 15 years between 16 and 20
>>221213096 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.
>>221213096>in loreYes, 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.
>>221213107>Harry Potter is a period pieceHuh. I did not know this.
>>221213049Bong genetics
>>221213484...What period in history took place in a magical school for wizards?
>>221213049unrealistic that he still has that much hair left to be desu with you
>>221213635The early 90s aparently.
>>221213049What the fuck, I was watching a video today that mentioned the same thing
>>221213698>die at 21 at the hands of some gay hall monitor motherfucker>stuck forever in the afterlife as a middle aged bongwew
>>221213096I miss when this place wasn't full of 80iq brownoids, please kys
>>221213049I would have infinitely preferred an in-depth TV prequel about Harry's parents over a fucking remake of the movies.
>>221213107What the fuck britbongs?
>>221213049maybe they aged in heaven.or chose to appear older to actually have a parental appearance to harry.
>>221213096Nigger he just told you why he isn't.
>>221213130Nah, you see, in the lore, he’s 21
>>221214734He is though. He’s 21 when he dies.
>>221213635Harry Potter is set from 1991 to 1998.Harry was born in 1980.
>>221214741Ah thank you for clarifying. He looks old for 21
>>221214799...Ok and?John Wick is set in 2020WHOA PERIOD PIECE
>>221214845Yeah it was a weird casting mistake. The lore was very clear about his age.
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...?
>>221213049> be brittishoh
>>221213049He's British Pic Related is 16 year old British boy
>21 year old>had a child>intentionallydon't get me wrong, my siblings had children when they were all 16-19. but we're working-class scum, so it wasn't on purpose (and it ruined their lives).to a posho middle-class bloke in the Wizarding World, isn't this equivalent to>just graduated uni!>well, time to buy a house + pop out a sprog :)?
>>221215857Daniel 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.
OP is a zoomer.picrel is a 25-year-old woman working on her first children's novel. it's called smoking, OP. it was quite fashionable in the 1990s.
>>221215876He finally got to marry the girl he'd been obsessing over for 7 years, who never gave him the time of day. By the time she said yes he had already been fantasizing about the 10 sons he would pump into her for ages. He just couldn't wait to breed that ginger, simple as
>>221215876He was living in hiding, confined to his house with an attractive 21 year old redhead wife, and the knowledge that with every stroke, he was further cucking his favourite childhood bullying victim. The accidental conception of Harry was absolutely guaranteed.
>>221215902Me on the left reading me paper
>>221215894Please tell me he also butted Warwick Davis.

>>221215931Why use birth control when you're a rich pureblood wizard and can just have the house elves change the diapers?
>>221215930Yes, but I am far too tired to write the green text. You’re all ungrateful and never give me enough (you)s anyway. Someone else can shoulder my burden.

>>221215857>it's all just terraced streets and woolly jumpers
>>221214712It's because Harry's wish was to have his parents the way they currently would be if they weren't dead
>>221215814I'm glad that you're not just posting on /tv/, you're guarding the lore!

>>221216222good morning
>>221213107I mean he is growing up during war time so...
>>221215930It'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.
>>221216413But 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.
>>221216641>Rupert Grint and Alan Rickman had to begin physically restraining Radcliffeto their great discredit. I'll never look at either of them the same way
>>221216641>they initially yawned and tried to pretend like they couldn't see the frustrated imp stomping his feet in front of them
>>221215919Are you sure? The guy on the right looks like a faggot who'd post here.
>>221216641This anon has a way with words
>>221213107>Cold war eraWhat did the wizards and witches thought of the ussr? Were there any russian/slavic equivalent of hogwarts? What do they think about ICBMs potentially destroying everything???
>>221213107recently got pretty deep tan

>>221216413It's alright, the camps have maternity wards
>>221213049Bongs age like shit
so by book 5, this guy and Harry could have been working together on a job site or something.weird.
Marwan al-Shehhi, one of the hijackers during the sepember 11 attacks, was only 23 when this photo was taken

>>221213049thats the power of no smoking, no alcohol, no smart devices...and the 80s
>>221217286why did he need glasses if he was only 23?
>>221213049>here's that 19 year old teen I was telling you about
>>221213107He got off lightly. He could've been a white woman.

>>221215876>houseHe was rich from potions and shit that his family madeAlso he was living during wartime, hiding with his 20 years old wife, cucking the guy he bullied in school, no shit he impregnated her asap
>>221214799Why does this surprise people? She started writing the books around 1991.
>>221214757Did you had breakfast this morning?
>>221218686>Did you hadDid you, saar?
>>221213080I 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.
>>221213049Probably 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.
>>221216972Wait until you find out Lily, James, and Snape all went to Hogwarts during the worst years of The Troubles
>>221219790at a remote school implied to be in Scotland, i'm sure that affected them very deeply, anon.
>>221220008The 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.
>>221215902Smoking and no sunscreen I reckonI work in rural Australia and see 59 year old faces on 24 year old bodies everyday lol
>>221220008The 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.
>>221213107Sad! Many such cases (but mostly among women)
>>221220152i was alive then. my uncle was injured in an IRA bombing, while he was down south (in London) for work.>The Troubles would have been VERY relevant.lol would it fuck. all we ever got was some Irish jokes. they fought on the border and attacked hotels in London. they didn't bother going up to fucking, i don't know, Middlesbrough or Dundee.

>>221221585There's no way young Snape would have had trouble commanding pussHe had that alternative gothic aura in spadesA line of vacuous black-dyed bitches devout to his detached apathy tracing every brooding stepSomething 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 yearsThere'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 ageFor the greater good, of course
Well he is British
>>221213107snape... had a hard life
