>murders his defense against the dark arts teacher in his 1st year by burning him alive with his handshow did he get away with this?
>>221589724I had to get it on
>>221589724That fucking Dumbledore
>in goblet Dumbledore okays the use of students as bait in the underwater challenge where if the champion fails they all dieHas any headmaster ever been as reckless with student lives as Albus?
>>221589811I'd never send my kid to Hogwarts. Dumbledore was a madman.
>>221589724Hogwarts is a stand-your-ground school. Plus, Quirrell was wearing a turban.
>>221589889Not when he died
>>221589749FUCK.Entered this thread to say this. I'm spending too much time here.
>>221589724it was self defense
>Hires a chud with the Voldy parasite, a werewolf, a pathological liar coward, and a girl HR boss as defense against the dark arts teachers>literally raised Harry in such a way so he could be killed at the right time>never apologized for any of it
>>221589831You never had a choice. The magic chooses YOU.
Did anyone else find it weird that moaning myrtle always hung around in the boys bathroom? She admittedly watched Cedric bathe.
>>221589831He was the only man who could truly rid Hogwarts of DARK wizardry. He just needed a bit more time.
>Harry PotterbergDon't ask stupid questions, OP
>>221589811There is no way those kids were going to die. They were probably under spells to keep them safe underwater until they could be brought back if their champion failed. The champions of course didn't know that, otherwise they wouldn't risk it all to save them.
>>221589724*point at the scar*DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?I'M THE CHOSEN ONE, HALF THE GOLD IN GRINGOTTS IS MINE YOU LITTLE BITCH
>>221589982The werewolf was the only competent of the bunch, aside from perhaps the actual Moody who never had the chance to teach. Ironically, Crouch didn't do it that bad.
>>221589811The bait students were never in any danger. The books do a much better job of explaining this.The merpeople were working for Dumbledore. Anyone who wasn't recovered in the challenge would be returned by them at the end.Harry was the only person who took the threat seriously and tried to save the others. Especially considering 2 of them were his best friends and a 3rd was his love interest. They didn't even tell him which of the 3 he was meant to rescue.He felt like an idiot afterwords for not realizing the threat was fake and Dumbledore would never let anything happen to a student.
>yes potter i'm the half blood princeUh OK and? That means nothingWas this explained better in the book?
>>221590021She was about 13 when she died, she died as an hormonal teen and she's never growing out of it.
>>221590125Yes. His mom's last name was Prince. His dad was a muggle so I guess he identified better with her and gladly could have used her name.
>>221590124ThisAlthough he’s partially right. Accidents can always happen and it reinforces his valorous characterization that he would never let anything happen to those he cares about, even accidentally.
>>221590124I'm sure the others didn't know either. Fleur freaked out when she couldn't save her sister.
>>221590176Perhaps I could comfort her, in bed
I still don't get what happened in the last few filmsSo Harry is a Horcrux of Voldemort, but then why did Dumbledore raise Harry, what was all that shit about
>>221590215Sacrifice and the ultimate trump card in the worst case.
>>221589982The job was cursed and everyone knew it. No teacher could last longer than a year. So the only people he could get to teach it were either trying to take advantage of him or owed him a personal debt. In the case of Moody it was both.Snape would have taken the job at any time, but Snape was an important asset against Voldemort that Dumbledore couldn't afford to lose to the curse.It's like how he kept Trelawney employed just in case she made another prediction.He was waging a war the whole series. Playing 5D chess that ultimately paid off. This is how you write a smart character.
>alright students just expose your deepest darkest fears to the class
>>221590173>Accidents can always happenSure, but the merpeople were there to protect the students from anything else in the lake.
>>221590215Dumbledore raised Harry so he could be killed by Voledemort, ideally killing the last horcrux. This would make Voldemort mortal and weak. DD also made sure Harry had the resurrection stone so he'd have the option to come back after being killed. This, along with the Elder wand never truly answering to Voldy, is why Harry won.
>>221590215I understand it as, because Harry was a horcrux, that part of him couldn't be destroyed by anyone but Voldemort himself, meaning that the only way to defeat Voldemort was for him to first kill Harry. All Horcruxes had to be destroyed and Harry was one of them and nobody else but Voldemort could do it.Dumbledore knew Voldemort would go after Harry so he prepared him to be the one fighting him as well.
>>221590234>It's like how he kept Trelawney employed just in case she made another prediction.More like to protect her. Snape knew she made the prediction, someone else could have and that put her in danger.
>>221590315More like to protect the full contents of the prediction from being discovered. Voldemort wasted a whole year trying to do that.
>>221589982He didn't hire the girl, she was forced on him. He only likes dudes.
>>221590301> that part of him couldn't be destroyed by anyone but Voldemort himselfOr by a basilisk's venom? Or fiendfyre? Even Hermione outright says that a horcrux should be able to be destroyed by anything that causes so much damage it outdoes the horcruxes ability to repair itself.
I thought Harry would've had to kill himself and Voldemort at the same time judging from the Whorecrux rules
>>221590483>Or by a basilisk's venom?Funny thing is Harry DID get infected with basilisk venom but it didn't destroy him because Rowling hadn't thought of that plot point yet.
>>221589889Kek
>>221589724Because he is a beautiful animal, he is the destroyer of worlds, he is Harry Fucking Potter!
>>221590301Nah, anyone could have killed Harry. But Harry had a special connection with Voldemort that could let him survive an attack from him. Destroying the horcrux without killing Harry.Dumbledore gave him the resurrection stone to give him the courage to sacrifice himself for the others.And by willingly dying to save them, he conferred on them the same protection Lily gave him.So the final horcrux destroyed, Harry possibly still alive, and all his friends with protection against Voldemort who was now mortal. That was Dumbledore's plan.Oh, and he planned to give ownership of the Elder Wand to Snape. But then Draco disarmed him and he knew it was the perfect accident to throw Voldemort off balance. All he had to do was die.
Why was Snape in love with Lily? From his perspective this was some chick that cucked him with his bully
>>221590502> it didn't destroy him Because Fawkes healed him? If he had died to the venom there I assume the horcrux bit would've died too.
>>221590568Because she was nice to him when they were kids (and he was a gloomy loner so he never gained social skills/other women friends) so he basically imprinted on her forever.
>>221590568it's written by a woman, cucking the men who love you doesn't matter because they should always love you forever no matter what and never move on
>>221590598Wow that's sad and pathetic, no man would do that IRL
>>221590124>“You misunderstand officer, the threat was never real. I only told the champions that their siblings, best friends or girlfriends would die if they didn’t save them. But that was just to motivate them to compete harder. I didn’t actually mean it. In fact, I had my fingers crossed behind my back. Now, it’s not in any way my fault that Fleur misinterpreted me, got in too deep and drowned in the Lake.” said Dumbledore calmly, his eyes twinkling behind his half moon spectacles. >Fudge was shaking with apoplectic fury. He was tired of covering up Dumbledore’s particular mad brand of catastrophes. He’d have his headmaster’s badge and his wand today for sure! But then, shockingly, Kingsley Shacklebolt began to speak, in his deep, reassuring voice.>“Minister, he’s correct. There’s nothing we can charge him with. He gave those children a choice. It was her choice to drown.”>Fudge swore loudly and stretched his legs furiously, storming off, and Dumbledore simply shrugged, then winked at Kingsley, and stretched his own legs away, muttering to himself.>“What’s next? Perhaps a hedge maze of death, you know, one that makes you go crazy, filled with all kinds of obstacles! Yes, surely that won’t go wrong.”>Kingsley shook his head in gentle disapproval as he watched his good friend stretching his legs in the sunset. >“I wish my boss had that much style” he muttered to himself.
>>221590276>DD also made sure Harry had the resurrection stone so he'd have the option to come back after being killed.The resurrection stone didn't have anything to do with it, Harry could have passed on when Voldemort killed the horcrux in him but he chose to go back and finish the job.
>>221590125I don't remember the details but it was a much bigger plot in the book and the movie pushed it aside to focus on romance
>>221589724That's nepotism for ya
>>221590573Living horcruxes need to die before the soul is exposed. Whereas when a soul Is attached to a book, the soul is the only living thing and dies first. Yes that’s retarded but I’m sorry, it’s also cannon.
>>221590568she was like his best friend when they were younger. the fact she ended up fucking the jock of the school who bullied him really says something about JK Rowling and women in general desu.
>>221590125Harry was kinda obsessed with the potions book written by the half blood prince. Even after he tried one of the spells and almost murdered Draco, he defended the half blood prince to his friends. It was one of the big mysteries of that book.And then he finds out the half blood prince was Snape, directly after Snape killed Dumbledore. It doubled the feeling of betrayal for Harry.
>>221590667Yeah the resurrection stone doesn't even do that. Nor did Harry have it on his person at the time.The stone just lets you talk to dead people. Harry left it in the woods before he went to surrender himself to Voldemort.
>>221590200who, fleur or her sister?
>>221590668The movie was awful. They even put a brownish tint on everything to double down on it being complete shit.
>>221589724Harry was a hard cunt, a real desperate man. A lot of things happened that first year that we don't talk about. Let's just say there's a reason it was renamed philosopher's stone in the UK.
>>221590744To be fair he became an incel death eater who called her a slur, too.
>>221589982cursed job, only shit people would consider getting it or people who were forced into itin the case of the werewolf, perhaps dumbledore thought he having his own curse would protect him from another curse? like a maximum of 1 curse at a time per person or something.
Harry Potter and The Half-Erect Incel.
>>221590215Dumbledore was a groomer and it was just a coincidence Harry was a horcrux
>>221590568because he fell in love with her? he was never "cucked" as he was never in a relationship with her, he did, like most retards, fuck things up by revealing his power level and antagonizing the girl, even then, he never had the courage to confess to her, he was just a dude who fell in love, never stopped loving and then felt responsible for her death
Any good Harry Potter fanfic?
>>221591184pshh, that minor involvement he had in planning an executing her death was nothing
>>221591206Plus he only begged Voldy to spare Lily, no care towards her innocent child.Snape was a horrible person, really.
>>221591557Dindu nuffin. Give him a department chair position for life

>>221591200he was never a magician, he just made up all this inside his head because was sexually abused and lived under the stairs
>>221590656>>“I wish my boss had that much style”Fucking kek
>>221590301>Harry was a horcrux, that part of him couldn't be destroyed by anyone but Voldemort himself,Why? All the others were destroyed fairly handily by means of magical sword and monster teeth. He'll one was destroyed basically accidentally by one of malfoy's goons
>>221592370because the act of killing breaks ones soul, anonvoldermont killed harry thus breaking the part of the soul he had in harry maybe
>>221589724>Kills a guy with his bare hands>Can't see thestrals until he sees pattinson bite it.
>>221592370The basilisk venom + fiendfyre are the only named options to destroy a horcrux otherwise. Even the sword could only destroy them later because it absorbed the basilisk venom
>>221589724every wand is essentially a semiautomatic rifle. Of course Hogwarts has firm stance on self defense
>>221592395I'm not sure if Quirrel counts at that point since he's clearly not really.. human, anymore.
>>221592395Don't forget he saw his parents die too
>>221590483>>221590565Dumbledore didn't want Harry to die. The point is that if Voldemort, who has a link to Harry, AKs him, it was meant to bounce due to his mother's protective spell being now inside or V after he used Harry's blood in the spell to bring him back. At the end, V sends the spell, kills the horcrux, but Harry ain't entirely dead because of his mom's protection. He only kills the horcrux. Maybe, if someone else killed Harry, Harry dies but his body is still a vessel for the horcrux.
>>221590568They were friends since they were little and Lily could have loved him back if he didn't take stupid decisions such as join Voldemort.
What was up with that weird subplot where the goblin wanted the sword, then trapped Harry in the vault? What was the plan there
>>221592582>Maybe, if someone else killed Harry, Harry dies but his body is still a vessel for the horcrux.would make a good premise for a fanfic
>>221590656This is funny but Fleur, Cedric, and Krum were adults.
>>221591200There was one very good about Remus' years before being a teacher. The author removed it after she fixed the story into something original.
>>221591557The movie even shows him basically stepping over James' dead body.
>>221592594He wanted the sword back because it was apparently of goblin make and stolen by the Gryffindor guy. He made a deal with them for it in exchange for helping with the heist thing, but he distrusts humans in general and figured they'd go back on their word, so he just betrayed them first. Dunno if he had plans to get away after that, but the bank theft reported to Voldy so the goblin guy got caught anyway + with the sword in his possession which is pretty damning.
>>221590656Heh
>>221592395In the book Harry passes out before Quirrel dies. He's filled in on what happened afterwards by Dumbledore.
>>221592594The sword was made by goblins, and goblins have a weird concept of ownership where you only own the stuff you make yourself. Everything else is rented and has to be given back to the creator when you die. So the goblins have been trying to get the sword back from wizards for centuries.The goblins basically consider the sword stolen property.
>>221589724End of Book 1>the whole school knows that Harry saved the Philosopher's Stone in his first year>they know Ron and Hermione helped him get to the finish line>they know Harry killed a teacher in the process>and they're all cool with it because everyone also knows Quirrell was possessed by Voldemort (???)Book 5>half of the school refuses to believe Voldemort is back and decides Harry is a madman for trying to claim he is (?????)>Ministry of Magic never brings up the fact Harry killed a teacher nor why he did it (?????)
>>221593203Did they know all the details though? I wasn't aware that they knew about the voldemort bit. Just that Harry had been attacked over the stone by Quirrel and survived.
Dumbledore and his complete disregard for the very lives of the students was based.>hired a guy who had been infused with the spirit of magic Hitler and his face on the back of his head>"Something is petrifying students? Not my problem, let some second year kids deal with this. Also the guy I hired is a fucking fraud this time around so the kids learn nothing">"Yes, I want the soul sucking demons on school property!">"Guess what, this year it's a potentially deadly wizard tournament!">Literally nothing of note happened on school property once Umbridge is in charge
>>221592607Yes but that’s irrelevant. Fudge wanted to stop Dumbledore killing anyone, regardless of age. The thing is Dumbledore didn’t kill her. She could have sent up red sparks and he’d have saved her. It was her choice not to send up red sparks.
>>221590234>>221591066Why didn't he simply cancel defense against the dark arts classes and make a new class like "magical self defense" to avoid letting innocent people get cursed?
>>221593783Umbridge was RAPED by demonic centaurs, Dumbledores final jape
>>221590124>Dumbledore would never let anything happen to a student.Like 20 students got killed during his reign and he did nothing.
>>221589724He wasn’t the only child at Hogwarts exploring really Dark Magic:>I was in online the other day, on the dark web, and I read something rather odd about a bit of rare magic. It's called, as I understand it... MGTOW.>I beg your pardon?>MGTOW. I came across the term while reading and I didn't fully understand it.>I'm not sure what image boards you were browsing, Tom, but this is very dark stuff. Very dark indeed.>Which is why I came to you.>A MGTOW is a wizard, usually one with a weak jawline, who has foregone sexual relations with women. In exchange he gets to convince himself he is radically increasing his magical potential.>But I don't understand how that works, Sir. He would still have sexual needs, wouldn’t he?>One watches increasingly bizarre pornography, and in doing so, splits one’s soul. Generally it has to be very off colour stuff. Usually animated, from Japan.>Animated?>A dark muggle magic. Moving images. Normally with women being attacked on the train, often by tentacle monsters. That way, you never climax to a real woman and lose any of your mana to her.>Do the animated women have to be biologically accurate? For instance, couldn’t they have penises…>Penises?! Merlin's beard, Tom! Isn't it bad enough to consider actually searching for cartoon footage of a woman being raped by an octopus? To rip at your soul by giving her a throbbing erection as well?!. This is all hypothetical, isn't it, Tom? All academic?>Of course, sir. It'll be our little secret.
>>221590893literal succubus
>>221590090Imagine what Kreacher would say to Harry Potterberg under his breath?
>>221590893They’re both walled now.
>>221590923I'm still seething over them cutting kino scenes of Voldemort's family backstory, Snape's defense against dark arts lessons, the explanation of non-verbal spells, the politicking with Scrimgeour trying to recruit Harry, the hints about Tonks and Lupin, Lupin's story about being beaten by Fenrir, Lupin infiltrating the werewolf underground, Percy breaking off from his family, Fleur being a cunt to Ginny/Molly and vice versa and them all reconciling after Bill gets bitten, the reveal that Snape told Voldemort about prophecy, the battle with Death Eaters at the end etc.
>>221595853Oh and apparition lessons, those were important.
>>221595853This is what the tv show is for. The Goblet of fire was basically reduced by half in terms of story and the lack of Tom Riddle lore was ridiculous
>>221589982Why would he apologize? He did what he had to do, if he wasn't so practical they'd never have a chance
>>221595853>about being beaten*bitten, i mean.
>>221593136So how the fuck do the run a bank with a belief system like that?
>>221592477>he's not really human because Voldemort's soul is inside himJust like Harry?
>>221596914Harry is a horcrux while quirrel is physically attached to Voldemort. Very different
>>221592802And in the book all the goblins in the bank got executed by Voldy anyway. Moreover, Griphook was already on the run before, so why the fuck did he expect to get away with it?

>>221597890Well all Harry ever really wanted was a family, so he got that. He also kinda wanted to be an Auror, so he got to be Auror, and eventually the chief law enforcement official of the Wizarding world in UK. He was never a particularly ambitious person, even when people belittled him it was not about so much about him wanting to be recognized as being infuriated about people denying things he knew were true.
>>221597782 kiwifarms tfranny
>>221592642Wouldn't you want to step over your school bully's dead body?
>>221597337He was executed in the film as well. I decided to re-marathon the films recently, I hate all of them except for the first two.
>>221597337Well, I'm assuming he figured he'd have more time before the heist was reported so he could scarper off and hide somewhere.
>>221598026i meant he should've died, not get everything what he wanted
>>221598026This, he got over the fame of being who he was pretty quick, especially since it mostly just brought him trouble and danger. Even from the first book the mirror thing didn't even show any big schooltime ambitions like it did with Ron, it just showed him his desire for his family.
>>221598310I agree the first two are the only good ones, but I like 4 in a "so bad it's good" way
>>221598310>I hate all of them except for the first two.Same, I even hate 3 more than 4.Only Colombus had the magic touch. Shame his career went down the tubes after.

>>221589724Damn, I remember now that I was doing a reread of the series last year, and somehow lost momentum by the end of the order of the phoenix. I've been pretty caught up in the story in the past so it was a slightly hollow feeling that came with dropping it before the end. But here's hoping it isn't permanent, a longer wait between reads ought to help for this and any books that people are fond of.Blogpost over.
>>221590215in the movie dumbledork literally says that Harry must be killed by bad guy. i know because i watched some clips yesterday

I love Harry Potter as it was part of my childhood, and the books being so bad that it spawns insane theories is amusing now that I'm a grown up.My favourite is "Hagrid is a deatheater"
>>221599431I did a recent reread too, which petered out towards the end of Deathly Hallows. Finally got back to it yesterday
i didn't even understand why there was a bad guy sports team. trying to follow the logic of these movies is impossible
>>221599431>>221599965I'm lucky that the translation of the books in my native tongue is superior to the English original. I've been a fan since I was 11 (grandpa bought me the first book since the movie hype was everywhere) but didn't read them in the original until I was 23. Night and day difference.

I love how she wrote about governments banning spells and trying to keep children from having access to them as an analog to what conservative governments were doing by banning tranny books. Do you think she ever found the irony in it? She did a complete 180 and poisoned the minds of millions of readers and then a decade later started realizing her books negatively affected western culture.
>>221601790Her books are harmless slop unless I'm missing something.
Flipendo
>>221591200Harry potter and the nightmares of future past. Better than the original books.
>>221602061He's blaming her for the actions of publishers.Harry Potter indirectly devastated a vast swathe of the fantasy/sci-fi genre, because during its run publishers realised that while young boys tended to read material aimed at them and slowly move on as they aged, young girls would more often stick with what they started with and only advance as much as the specific series did.Twilight and later Hunger Games confirmed this observation, which caused a complete restructuring of how books were sold to children. Instead of having a market aimed separately at children, then teens, then adults, it instead became aimed at young girls, teenagers and adult women simultaneously. This lead to the fantasy genre being massively dumbed down to cater to a new audience of womanchildren, while also aggressively gatekeeping out authors catering to men who weren't already established enough to have their own connections. It also exposed children to themes they weren't ready to handle, while also being explained very poorly due to the decreasing competence of the authors writing them.TL;DR - Harry Potter's success caused the industry to cater to the type of people that don't read anything other than Harry Potter
>>221589724I recently rewatched these movies.In hindsight, they and the story in general is pretty shit. It's really clear that she was phoning them in after Goblet of Fire.
>>221602370Harry potter didn't killed any sci fi books or series.Sci fi is predominately a male niche.Harry Potter did nothing to the sci fi genre.The lack of sci fi, did If anyhing, the Lord of The Rings movies being a fantasy 10/10 masterpiece, overshadowing the great Matrix 8/10 series did more damage to sci fi than Harry Potter
>>221602468Fantasy/sci-fi are bundled as the same thing in the industry. What impacts one will hit the other, which in this case was the authors who wanted to write just not being allowed. People like Reynolds can still be grudgingly allowed due to not being able to stop them, but they aren’t prolific enough to hold the genre on their back without new blood.Fantasy’s murder is a lot easier to see due to it being far easier to shit out a generic script and flood the market with romantasy crap, but both died for the same reason.
>>221602370>>221602647That's sad. I wonder if a single book or industry plant could be good enough to reverse that trend, or if men just inherently prefer games. It's hard to blame the industry if women are throwing money at them and men aren't.
>>221602738One of the big problems is that the publishing industry is essentially immune to poor sales, since a few reliables like Tolkien will always sell and support literally hundreds of forced authors that never even hit triple digit sales. This means they can keep playing the lottery while hoping for another breakout trend indefinitely.Imo it will only start to reverse once the booktok fags being catered to get bullied more often, which I think is slowly starting to happen. The key question is if they move on to something even worse or try crawling back to universal appeal.Self publishing might be an absolute mire of slop, but there are enough male targeted hits to prove men still do read more than the classics if catered to, so despite the constant cope that the industry changed because women read more, men still make up a significant market to be tapped.
I've been playing around with an AU where Snape is Harry's dad. Snape renounces magic racism for Lily, becomes a double agent from the start, the two get together and have Harry. Their relationship is kept secret to maintain Snape's deep cover. Maybe Harry in this scenario gets sorted into Slytherin and befriends Draco, but also still becomes friends with Ron and Hermione too.
>>221598653>Apart from the massive snake that lived in his schoolNobody knew about that. McGonagall said they looked for something for years and nothing was found.>Or the dementors he used as securityThe Ministry sent them, it wasn't Dumbledore's choice, many times he said he was against it.>Or employeeing Voldemort reincarnated as a teacherQuirrel was previously a teacher, Dumbledore had no reason to suspect him.
>>221601790She's a leftie. In book 5, the government slandered both Dumbledore and Harry because the Ministry didn't want to believe Voldemort was back as that would threaten his own power. You'd think she would believe that the lesson is not to believe the government blindly and always being sceptical when the government says something like: "this dude is literally Hitler and he kills puppies!"Yeah, nah. She ate the entire "Drumphhhhgggrr is bad!" narrative in one single bite.
>>221602370HP also popularized the trend of factions and created tribalism among young people. HP, Percy J, Divergent, HG, and I'm sure there are more have all "houses" type of segregation, which helps marketing a lot at the time to buy merch.The problem with this is how these became also a societal issue. I'm sure this is one of the (many) reasons all sexualities and gender have their own flag.
>>221600056The Spanish translation of at least books 4 and 5 was terrible. It was made in Spain and Spain uses some words that are swearing in Latin America. So, there was at least one scene when Harry says "mierda".
>>221599962>Hagrid is a deatheaterhow the fuck would that work ever
>>221606964Hagrid was first on the scene to pick up Harry after Voldemort exploded the house.And he got there BEFORE even Sirius get there with his bike, supposedly, under Dumbledore's orders... but Dumbledore shouldn't be able to know where the Potter safe house was. Nobody knew, only Pettigrew.Sirius might suspect it and that's how he went there on his own, but Hagrid? How did Hagrid knew? It's because he was a deadheater and was outside when Voldemort died.Someone also took Voldemort's wand, and it wasn't Pettigrew, that wasn't in the scene, nor Snape that came later nor the ministry, it has to be a deatheater
>>221596485Yeah, haha there's no way an organized religion could have such double standards.
>>221602370A+ analysis, we have been incredibly stagnant for 20 years due to this.
>>221589724It wasn't murder. It was a lawful killing by any sort of legal authority. He didn't know it would happen so it was unintentional and it was obviously in self-defense.
>>221604838That's not how genetics work. You're weird and I highly suggest you never mention this to anyone outside of the Internet and your field of anonymity.
>>221608238I dunno lad, I kinda like the fanfic that Luna's mother was a centaur
>>221608238what
>>221589811The viewer experience in goblet of fire must have been so garbage aside from the dragon challenge>Watch the champions jump into the lake>Have to stare at the water surface for an hour until the damsel return >Champions enter the hedge labyrinth >Send them off in celebration but we have screens or anything and wait yet again until the victor returns >There is a corpse now, how did that happen?
>>221600026Have you never watched a sports movie ever? There's always a bad guy team.
>>221606843tribalism is human nature
>>221589724>how did he get away with this?he's jewish
the cctvs don't work in hogwarts after they installed magic
"i'm a pot of coffee by day, bottle of wine by night kind of guy" Ronnie said. "Triple that and you've got me" replied Harry Fucking Potter
>>221606843>HP popularized a millions of years long trend that's embedded throughout all of contemporary society
>>221608887How is that different to rally or whatever where people stand there waiting to see a car for 3 seconds.
>>221612293Booze, or lack thereof.
Just post hermoine

>>221590483>basilisk's venomI found it funny how NOBODY, did anything about the basilisk's corpse rotting in the sewer for 5 years
>>221590656Literally Government Sanctioned EventThe Ministry made the taskThey made the rulesIt just happened at Dumbledore's schoolEven more than thatIt wss ICW approvedBasically the Wizard UN signed off on it tooNiggers want to bitch about the series not making sense, but have never read the books>Dude jurassic park sucks, dinosaurs are extinct there's no way they could be back. 0/10 film doesnt understand history
>>221594360Moaning Myrtle is the only student who died at Hogwarts while he was alive.He was also only the Deputy Headmaster, Armando Dippet was in charge.Students only died at Hogwarts after his deathCedric dies outside of Hogwarts, beyond where Dumbledore has authority
>>221590568They were childhood friend (guess in the muggle world since Lily was muggleborn and Snape is halfblood)Then, when he became a teenager Snape was a bit edgy and fan of magic Hitler, aka a man who want pureblood to reign, so Lily fucked the jock
>>221614490Dumbledore thought leaving a giant stinky rotting corpse in the walls near slytherin dorm was funny.
>>221591200Any Harry x femdraco ?
>>221614499Hello friend! You seem to be having problems understanding subtext, no doubt related to your autistic spectrum disorder. Let me fill you in. That post? I made it as a joke. A humorous little made up anecdote. I didn’t mean it literally. I know Dumbledore didn’t plan the event. All of us Dumbledore posters have read, and thoroughly enjoyed the books. HOWEVER. a) I didn’t want to let a long lore tirade get in the way of having some fun (like you did)b) I was enjoying taking part in some board culture.If you are able to pull that stick out of your arse, and partake in some bants youself, maybe you’ll fit in better. Otherwise? You know where to go.He said calmly.
>>221589831To be fair, if you have the choice of sending your kids to a regular British school where you get molested, or a magic one where you might die...I'd choose the magic school
>>221589724>dark artsWhat is that?
>>221607153He also sabotaged Dumbledore’s attempts at allying with giants
>>221616379>gets raped in a broom closet and obliviated
>>221616379>Mr and Mrs Granger sat absolutely bemused in their living room.>Dumbledore, who had come to offer their daughter a place at his school, was talking a mile a minute.>“Yes Hogwarts is the finest magical school on the planet. We know this as a fact because whenever we force our students into death tournaments against the other schools our students usually don’t end up dying. Less than the continentals, anyway. So yes, your daughter will get the finest education available. Oh no, no literacy or numeracy. But she will learn potions and lotions, hexes, cursed and jinxes galore, and how to transmogrify a small mammal into a silver drinking goblet, forcing it to live out the rest of it’s days in abstract horror!” he said calmly, his eyes twinkling behind his half moon glasses.>“And what about extracurriculars? Like sports or music” said Mrs Granger, shakily.>“Ah music. A magic beyond anything we do at Hogwarts. But as for sports, she can always sign up to the quidditch team.” >“What’s Quidditch?” asked Mr Granger.>“Why, it’s a wonderful sport! The children fly around on enchanted brooms, hundreds of feet in the air. Then, sentient cannonballs try to knock them off!”>The Grangers looked sickened.>“Oh don’t worry! Normally I can catch them with my magic before they hit the ground. And we can regrow bones. Teeth too.”>This staggering realisation of the complete and utter irrelevance of their professions absolutely stumped the Grangers. A long silence followed.>Finally, Mr Granger spoke, in a hushed voice, as though he was afraid of being overheard. >“Are there any immigrants at your school. We’ve been watching the news. We heard a lot about Pakistanis.”
>>221617330>Dumbledore leaned forward, smirking.>“Enough beating about the bush I see? No, I do not allow such filth in my school. Nor can they find us. Why, once your daughter is in my school, even if told you the exact location, you would never be able to see the entrance. Even if it was right in front of your face. What’s more, I will make her strong.”>“I took a jaunt on the underground to meet you here today, and a couple of undesirables started up with their darkie malarkey against me. ME! Because of what I was wearing! Can you believe such a thing?” (The Grangers could indeed believe it, neither of them had ever met such an eccentrically dressed man.) >“Well anyway, they’ll never hurt anyone again. I made damn sure of that! And let me tell you, a poor elderly man myself, I couldn’t have defended myself against a pair of such strong bucks with my feeble arthritic old hands.” >Dumbledore reached into his pocket and pulled out a plain wooden rod, a little like a conductor’s baton. He pointed it directly between Mr Granger’s eyes, who flinched nervously on instinct.>“Using this, I can control a man’s mind. Make him hurt others. Make him hurt himself. I could make you eat your wive’s eyes out of her head if I wanted. I can inflict great pain on a man without touching him. I can make him experience ten thousand cuts without leaving a single scratch of evidence. I can transfigure his body into a nightmare assortment of incorrect parts. Or I can make it a living prison - rendering him permanently into what you muggles call ‘locked in syndrome’. I can cut off all brain activity, killing him on the spot. But my personal favourite is the built in lynching spell. Dangle him upside down from the trees, with a fork stuck up his arse. My community doesn’t have to look back to fifty years ago with envy. My people never stopped the pogroms.”>The Grangers were trembling like dear in the headlights as the old man pocketed his wand.
>>221617363>“Well, do we have a deal? Or shall I remove your memories of her, and take her anyway?”>The old sorcerer’s cracked lips slithered into a truly awful, reptilian rictus grin. As they drew back, they exposed stained, worn cracked teeth. Yet, as precarious as the receded gums hold one them was, they still seemed sharp. Predatory. Dumbledore had dropped all grandfatherly pretensions. His eyes were a lifeless void. This time around , he had the Grangers right where he wanted them. There would be no more memory charms. No more dry runs. This was it. This time, they would surrender their daughter. The rules of magick dictated they must give her up willingly. But it didn’t say they’d need to be happy about it. Their fear would guarantee her place on his chessboard. He could smell it. He wouldn’t need to obliviate them and start over. Everything was proceeding according to his plan. >It was good to be the Headmaster. >>221614499Hey, autist. Here is fun example. I am enough of a lore enthusiast to know that it was actually McGonagall who talked to Hermione’s parents. But I thought this was funnier. Suck my dick.
>>221591200Blood Crest by Cauchy is light-years ahead of anything else>>221614589Dodging Prison and Stealing Witches eventually has a fake twin sister of Draco called Virgo, who was trying to seduce Harry's brother when I ran out of free chapters
>>221596485They own the banks. And the entire British wizard banking system. All of it is kept in their vaults. They never truly let it go except for transactions which are then deposited right back into the bank.
>>221614490Harry was the only parseltongue. Ron was the only one creative enough to do racist snake mimicking. Nobody else could open the chamber.
