Tumblr Post Harry Potter Was Good at the Dark Arts
Information technology will come as no surprise to anyone that has known me longer than 10 minutes to find out that the easiest mode to make me happy is to mention anything surrounding the topic of Harry Potter. Since I first was introduced to the films back in 2001, I have institute myself utterly obsessed with every single aspect of the series, universe, lore, and characters. No matter how many times I lookout the films, reread the books, or consume the plays and other adaptations, the series never seems to grow old or tired on me. And I think that many other Potterheads out there, in the earth, can relate to this. For some reason, everytime that yous pick up those novels, you lot tin discover something new about the serial, the lore, or the characters that you never noticed before.
One of the greatest aspects of being involved in the Harry Potter fandom is the fact that the internet is only brimming with similar-minded fans who spend hours and hours decoding, breaking down, and exposing certain aspects of the series that other people might not have noticed. Information technology's so fascinating and listen-blowing to find yourself existence forced to expect at something that you know equally well as the dorsum of your manus through brand new eyes and from a brand new perspective. So, without further ado, here are 25 mind-blowing things that Harry Potter fans accept revealed, theorized, and uncovered nigh the serial over the years.
24 If Only She Had Known...
Oh yeah, become set to cry because this next post is going to rip yous open up and prepare your soul on burn. I know that the envelopes which contained Harry Potter'south credence letter to Hogwarts were addressed to the cupboard under the stairs, just let's pretend that these envelopes were addressed by a specialized spell which knew the exact location in which each and every educatee resided due to the fact that there are thousands of children who require these letters every September and penning each address by hand would take far also long. What if McGonagall never knew that Harry spent the bulk of his young life living in a cupboard underneath the stairs in his Aunt and Uncle'southward home? Now, nosotros all know that she loves that boy like he was her ain son and that she would practise anything she could to protect him.
Imagine how she would react to this heartbreaking news.
When Dumbledore first wanted to exit Harry with the Dursley's, McGonagall was irate. I can guarantee that, had she known of the manner that Harry was existence raised, she would accept kicked down the Dursley's door and fought both Vernon and Petunia with her bare hands. Magic exist darned.
23 The Greatest Enemy Of All
Anyone who claims that they are not afraid of spiders is either a liar or a descendant of Steve Irwin. Though I practice appreciate the ways in which spiders control the problems population, no outcome in my life will ever compare to the night when a spider dropped downwardly from the ceiling and landed on my sleeping body. I nevertheless browse the ceiling for any petty spiders (or other creepy crawlies) before I become to sleep at night. And then I wholeheartedly understand if Salazar Slytherin decided to create a huge chamber beneath the Hogwarts castle in order to house a monstrous snake whose sole duty was to scare away the Spiders that lingered in those hallowed halls. I do not blame him one bit because, if I was able to exercise something similar I would do and then in a heartbeat. At present, my one bedroom flat is barely big enough for my bookshelves so I do not think that a full sized Basilisk would fit inside the flat.
I wonder if there are pocket-size Basilisks that could get the job done.
Possibly I could pop on down to the local pet store, purchase a tank and some accoutrements, and then brand a nice little dwelling for my mini-Basilisk. I wonder what would happen if you made middle contact with a tiny Basilisk. Instead of perishing, maybe yous would just fall into a overnice, deep, and peaceful sleep for a few hours. I tin can encounter literally no downside to this programme.
22 A Boggart In Muggles Clothing
I genuinely recall that the man that is Rubeus Hagrid would prove absolute kindness towards every single creature that found a home in Hogwarts and its surrounding grounds. Even those creatures that are mostly reviled and ostracized past the residue of the wizarding population. This kindness would even extend towards creatures regarded and treated as monsters, like the boggart. I guarantee that Hagrid would find some way to emphasize with the creatures and would evidence them unfailing kindness. He would take them in, firm them, feed them (on a side notation- what in the earth practise you think that a Boggart would eat), and brand them feel loved.
I wonder if a boggart has even been shown any form of kindness by a sorcerer. Fear makes people do intense things; things that they wouldn't commonly practise. People lash out and I think that they take out their fear on the boggart. And possibly, the boggart didn't mean to scare them. I mean, it is the just thing that they know how to do. Maybe, if we all showed boggarts true kindness they would exist able to reveal their truthful form to us and no longer feel the need to scare the life out of the states. I bet Hagrid has seen a boggart in their true form. And I bet that he wouldn't tell anyone what that course looked like, out of respect for the boggart that revealed itself to him, of course.
21 The Monster Of Malfoy Manor
Remember that scene in the third movie where the residual of Lupin'south course happily engaged in the act of facing off with the concrete manifestation of their greatest fears while Malfoy sneered in derision? But why was Draco so irritated by the thought of performing this spell in front of his classmates? Surely, someone equally not bad as Malfoy thinks he is would revel in the hazard to show off his amazing magical skills to his classmates? Maybe he just didn't retrieve he was skillful enough to perform the spell properly and was terrified of failing and embarrassing himself in front of his peers. Or mayhap he was too proud to allow his classmates know what his biggest fear was.
Maybe Draco did not want to engage in this classroom activeness because he knew that the sight of a tall, blonde, sneering man staring him down in front end of his peers would cause a flurry of unwanted attending. How would Lupin react to finding out that a kid's greatest fear is their ain parent? What is the protocol for this sort of thing? What if the reason that Draco threatens his classmates with the words "my father volition hear about this" is that, to him, Lucius Malfoy is the scariest affair in the entire wizarding world?
20 But Some other Weasley
At present this theory is one that puts a big one-time smile on my confront. The thought of Harry feeling so comfortable, safe, and loved with the Weasley's that he accidentally calls Molly "Mum" is 1 of the most beautiful things that I can imagine. God bless whoever came up to this theory. I wonder how the situation felt to Harry. Since his parents passed away earlier he could speak, I don't think he had ever called someone "mum" earlier that moment. No, that can't be true. I believe that a toddler-sized version of Harry, who was in the midst of learning how to speak, referred to Petunia every bit "mum" before he was speedily and strongly corrected. He never did and so once again.
When the word slipped out of his rima oris at the Burrow, his eyes flashed to Molly's figure in a panic.
He was worried that she would have the same reaction every bit his Aunt did. Blind panic coursed through his body for a hot second. But Molly accepted the term and showed him nothing but honey and affection in render. That was the moment when Harry finally felt like he truly had become a fellow member of the Weasley family rather than just being a lone visitor looking in on this happy families peaceful domestic life.
19 The Day They All Feared
Man, what I wouldn't give to watch a long-form adaptation that detailed the Marauders life and their fourth dimension at school. Certain, I would love to see how they handled dramatic and serious topics like Tom Riddle'south rise to power and the trials and tribulations that surrounded Remus and his transformations. Nevertheless, my focus would exist on the calm, every day, happy moments that existed between dramatic storylines. The moments that detailed the grouping enjoying the little moments that brand upwards life like the carefree teens that they were. I would beloved to run into James' numerous failed attempts to woo Lily.
But I call up that the best part of this series would be the episodes that centered around the pranks that the boys pulled and their constantly escalating mischievous endeavors (besides as their attempts to remain unpunished throughout their pranking escapades). What would happen if the Marauders e'er decided to engage in a prank state of war? Would people bet on who they thought would win the title of "ultimate prankster?" Who ended upward winning or did they call a truce when the entire student body became terrified to leave their beds in the morning? Would the teachers intervene or would they be glad that the boys were directing their pranks towards each other rather than the rest of the school?
18 Those Long, Lonely Nights
Very few things are known about Lupin's time every bit a werewolf. Nosotros know that his friends mastered the fine art of transforming themselves into animals in order to continue him (and themselves) safe and that he had to stay in the Shrieking Shack during those moon filled nights during his time at Hogwarts. And we know that, if taken correctly, his special potion can prevent his transformation from taking its price. However, what did Remus practice on those lone human nights that he spent in that shack waiting for the lord's day to rise? I tin can't imagine that consuming that potion could be anything shut to pleasant.
So did these nights consist of Remus convulsing on the floor in pain until the dominicus rose?
And what did he do to occupy himself (or rather distract himself) until the morning came and he was free to go? The above theory suggests that he surrounded himself with polaroids of his friends in order to remind himself that he wasn't the beast that he thought he was and that people truly did love him. I like to think that other items fabricated their style into this monthly routine over time. I recall that Sirius would include a walkman that played his favorite punk jam, Peter would lend Remus some books that he held about and dear to his eye, and James would accept made a little photo album for Remus and so that he could hands leaf through those polaroids that he cherished.
17 Brutally Honest... In The Best Style
Have you e'er noticed that Luna Lovegood has this uncanny power to tell everyone exactly what they demand to hear at whatever given moment? When Harry wanted to be left alone at the nuptials, she wandered off in a way that fabricated sure that he did not feel that she had been insulted just also left him lone with his thoughts. When Harry was struggling with his anger in his fifth year and plant himself wanting to separate himself from his friends to prevent them from meeting the aforementioned fate as Cedric, Luna knew how to gently convince him to find comfort in those he loved rather than fear.
Some people suggest that her intelligence and unique style of thinking allows her to see through everyone pretenses and become to the meat of their interactions. But I (too as the Tumblr user who created the in a higher place theory) don't remember that that theory truly covers it. This user is suggesting that, like Queenie Goldstein, Luna is a legilimens (i.e. a wizard that tin can read the heed and thoughts of those around her.) Though information technology is possible that even Luna herself was non aware of her powers. But I recall that this theory perfectly explains Luna's uncanny ability to know exactly what everyone around her is thinking and needs to hear.
16 Every Cat's Worst Dream
Ah, Mrs. Norris; the blight of every single educatee, ghost, and professor to e'er nourish Hogwarts. I can guarantee that every single pupil, ghost, and professor has considered punting that little furball downwards the lengthy Hogwarts corridor at some bespeak. Don't become me wrong, I dear animals and would not wish harm fall upon any cat in the entire galaxy.
Yet, even I would find myself growing chop-chop sick of having my every action watched and judged by that feline monstrosity. I wonder how the Marauders dealt with Mrs. Norris. I am willing to wager that none of them were too excited to observe themselves trapped under her watchful eye and tin imagine that each and every ane of those boys went to some extreme lengths in society to avoid crossing her path. Though none of them e'er dared to damage her while they were in their human forms (out of fearfulness of inciting Filch's rage), Sirius just couldn't help himself when he was in his dog class.
I would pay an insane corporeality of money to see that black domestic dog chasing that true cat through the halls of Hogwarts. I can also guarantee that McGonagall knew exactly who was behind that furry mask. She knew that Sirius was the "darn domestic dog" that Filch kept muttering most to Dumbledore about.
xv Erudite Sensibilities
For some reason, our society has decided that the heart and the heed are doomed to remain separate. People who article of clothing their heart on their sleeve and allow their deepest passions to determine their course of actions are seen as naive, unproblematic, and dimwitted. And those who dedicate their lives to the pursuit of noesis are seen as dry out, emotionless, and nigh robotic. (Hence stereotypes surrounding both the Hufflepuff and the Ravenclaw houses.) But it doesn't take to exist that fashion.
People who let every emotion radiate through their every pore can be intelligent and well spoken.
And people who fill their minds with knowledge tin fill their hearts with love. The 2 do not have to exist mutually exclusive. 1 of the best examples of this duality (aside from Luna Lovegood) exists with Rowena Ravenclaw herself. In life, Rowena accomplished many things just falling in beloved was never on her to-do list; yet it ended up defining her life (or at least, the style it ended.) And I think that having the adult female who literally created that house that values wit above all other things perish from a broken middle actually drives that elusive (at to the lowest degree in fiction) duality domicile.
14 Science Helps Us Empathize
These kind of theories are the precise reason why I dearest the cyberspace and the online Harry Potter fandom. Since J.M. Rowling seems determined to provide us with a flurry of content surrounding things that nosotros take never expressed curiosity towards instead of answering some of our burning questions referencing all things that occurred earlier the events of the offset novel took identify, the internet has decided to step up and answer these questions for the rest of u.s.a.. One affair I have ever been curious about was every single thing that happened subsequently James and Lily graduated from Hogwarts.
How soon after their graduation did they marry each other? Was Harry planned or was he a happy trivial accident? Judging from their age, one would assume that he was an blow. If he was, how did Lily react when she found out she was carrying her get-go child? How did she break the news to James and how did he react? How did they break the news to the rest of the gang? My middle breaks every fourth dimension that I realize that in that location will, most likely, never be an official answer to any of my questions. Can nosotros return the Cursed Kid and become something (anything) about the Marauders instead? Delight? Pretty Please?
13 ...But How Practice You Feed it?
Maybe this is the biggest show to support the fact that I was properly sorted into the Hufflepuff house. Not my kind heart nor my dedication to fairness or unwavering loyalty. Just my unproblematic obsession with the thing of how to care for these textbooks. How would 1 treat the Monster Volume of Monsters? Is information technology like a pet that needs to be groomed, fed, walked, and cared for?
Or is it merely an enchanted object whose aggressive acts are goose egg more than a parlor trick?
Now, I'k not going to lie. That book scared the absolute bejesus out of me when I first saw the tertiary Harry Potter film in theatres. Just could information technology actually injure me? It looked like it had absolutely torn Neville to pieces; however, could information technology actually pose a serious adventure to anyone or is it simply a silly little enchanted object? But seriously, what would we feed that thing? It seems to take a liking to shoes but I don't know if I want to sacrifice my all-time footwear in gild to feed a textbook that my instructor required me to purchase. And if it is live, would having these pets on campus pause the established accepted pet rules enforced at Hogwarts.
12 Dreams And Neglect
One of the saddest aspects of the Harry Potter franchise is the subject of Harry's upbringing. Sure, things were wonderful before his parents passed away and his life becomes a billion times improve once Hagrid whisks him away to Hogwarts and takes him on the balance of his magical chance. But what about those 10 years in between those two joy-filled periods? Both the books and the films effort to practice their all-time to skip over that part entirely so that audiences don't spend any time because all of those terrible years that Harry spent with a family that did not love him… or even care well-nigh him about all.
Simply I wanted to think nearly both Harry's babyhood and the consequences of that sort of loveless upbringing. Since he was so used to affection from his birth parents, exercise you think that Harry tried to testify (and receive) that same level of affection from his Aunt and Uncle? When did he realize that he was never going to receive that affection? When did he requite up and become the slightly jaded Harry that nosotros see in the Philosopher's Stone? And, since he got used to the lack of affection, how did he react when his own children came to him in moments of joy or need?
11 Rules Were Meant To Be Ignored
I've always wondered how Professor McGonagall felt about the Marauders. There is a common joke that floats around the Potterhead customs which suggests that she may accept quit the very day that she found out that a young boy named James Sirius Potter would make his debut at Hogwarts.
Withal, I have always felt that McGonagall loved those boys with her entire center.
And that she as well respected the good for you claiming that their mischievous tendencies presented her with. She was well-nigh likely impressed with their magical abilities and decision rather than disappointed or angered when she discovered all of their antics. I honestly believe that, like this theory suggests, she stopped punishing them for breaking everyday rules (like punctuality, passing notes, or compatible infractions) because they could be breaking much bigger rules if they fix their minds to it. Also, I believe that later on the Marauders left Hogwarts, McGonagall was bored out of her heed until the Weasley twins showed up. She was probably over the moon when Fred and George figured out the ins and outs of Hogwarts and began getting upwards to all kinds of freshman mischief. Finally, a real challenge after all of these unamusing years.
10 Who Let The Dog Out?
These are the all-time Harry Potter theories. They don't make you want to weep until you run out of tears or hurt you until yous can't feel anything anymore. They are but dainty little theories that warm your heart. And this theory has me thinking about all the ways in which attempts to keep Sirius in hiding could have gone wrong. Just hear me out for a moment. I know that Sirius knows that he has to stay incognito for his own safety; however, we all know that Sirius thinks that he is above the law (i.e. he thinks he tin can outsmart literally everyone else around him).
So, the question that needs answering, is how was Remus able to convince Sirius to stay in hiding? Did the Order have to take turns taking him for walks so that he could become out of his parents' horrible house every now and then? Who walked Sirius? Would Moody do it? The mental image of Moody angrily walking a smug Sirius is honestly the about hilarious thing that I have ever pictured in my entire life. I guarantee you that Sirius would get out a large, warm, chocolate surprise for Moody on the sidewalk that he, reluctantly, had to make clean up. They never spoke of it once more. Sirius tried, but Moody convinced him not to ever bring it up again. Threats may have been issued.
9 A Female parent's Love
Oh, come on. You didn't truly think that I could write an entire article almost Harry Potter theories without including at least i heartbreaking reminder that Lily and James have perished and that Harry was a sad and lone orphan for nigh of his life, did you? At present, this is a theory that made me weep my little eyes out. The only theory that hurts me more than this i is the 1 where Lily takes it upon herself to have Fred nether her ghostly limb after he finds himself in the afterlife afterwards the Battle of Hogwarts reached its cease. My heart swells when I think nearly the means in which Molly forced (lovingly, of course) Harry to become a member of her family.
By the third yr of Ron and Harry's friendship, Harry has essentially become the eighth child in the Weasley family.
It's but so touching how Molly accepts him into her family unit, no questions asked. She never complains about having another mouth to feed or child to house. She simply loved and cared for him like he was her own child without a single 2d idea. I like to call back that James' female parent treated Sirius the aforementioned way that Molly treats Harry. Mothers looking after each other'due south children. Ow, my heart.
8 No, You're Crying
Sometimes the internet likes to hurt us. And sometimes, we allow the hurt to happen because information technology is a beautiful kind of pain. This is 1 of those times. This theory has a sort of melancholic beauty to it. The idea of the Marauders raising Harry as a grouping is a lovely one. I love the idea of Sirius and Remus taking little baby Harry to the park or fighting over who had to alter him or breast-stroke him (I like to think that Harry was 1 of those babies that threw absolute meltdown fashion tantrums when it was bathroom time).
And the thought of them handing off the job of caring for that little bundle of love is such a warm idea. I honey the thought of Harry existing as this beacon of promise and joy while the wizarding earth threatened to crumble around them. This little piece of peace and happiness in a world filled with darkness.
And then the theory just has to take a turn for the heartbreaking and soul-crushing with the mention of Sirius' final moments. But I will admit that bringing back that light-hearted game of tag in his terminal moments is both bittersweet and the verbal sort of thing that Sirius would do. I don't know whether I should cry or grinning after reading upwardly on this theory, and then I have decided to do both.
7 Weasley Means Family
I know I practise not have the potency to do and so but I practise not care anymore. I, with the imaginary ability I take bestowed upon myself, hereby declare this theory catechism. Imagine how crestfallen he was when he spent his commencement year equally a teacher and saw all of the children who sabbatum, alone and giftless, in the bully hall on Christmas morning.
With their faces contorted into piffling frowns which screamed: "When volition this day be over?"
I imagine that Neville wrote to Harry most this and Harry mentioned that Molly used to send him intendance packages during his time at Hogwarts. So Harry and Neville fabricated the programme and got to work. Naught brings a bigger smile to my face than the thought of Neville going into the headmasters' role, checking the school roster to run into which children had stated that they were staying at Hogwarts throughout the Vacation flavor, and making note of which children seemed to collapse or shudder when the Vacation was mentioned. He made a list of all the children who did not share the same joy that their classmates did and sent that list directly to Molly who got busy making sure that no child would ever spend another Christmas at Hogwarts feeling unloved, unwanted, or unappreciated.
half dozen Reading Between The Lines
Now, I desire to make it very clear that I wholeheartedly believe that Snape is a sniveling, slimy, and vile person who spent his grown-up life mocking children for his own amusement because twenty or so years before, a girl he had a crush on didn't want to go out with him. However, this theory was too cool to ignore simply due to personal opinions; therefore, I had to include it. This theory states that the key to the reason why Snape and Lily could never be together lies in their names. Evans (Lily'due south maiden name) and Snape are remarkably similar names. When read backward, Lily's maiden name reads "Snave."
The 2 messages which preclude the names from existence identical is a V and a P.
The V referring to Voldemort and the P referring to Potter. Snape'south love for the dark side and his eagerness to commit himself to Tom Riddle kept him from ever being the one for Lily. He would have to renounce that entire aspect of himself in club to be with her and that was the one thing that he could never practice. And Potter kept Lily from being with Severus. He was her true other half and denying his beloved would deny her own centre. Then, as long every bit Snape answered the sirens call of the night arts and Lily loved Potter, they could never be together.
5 It'due south The Little Things
I have always enjoyed comfortable silences shared betwixt two people. There is no reason to fill every single moment with conversation. Don't get me wrong, I love a good deep conversation that allows two people to connect, express themselves, and interact in a style that they never have with some other human being being earlier. But sometimes the well-nigh intimate moments betwixt ii people can stem from them existing in their own petty worlds, side past side. Similar the above Tumblr user, I truly believe that Ron and Hermione would have relished in those quiet moments together.
Hermione would find herself engrossed in some sort of novel, periodical, watercolor, or other placidity and solitary activity while Ron watched her. He loved the way that her brow creased when she reached a particularly troubling function of her volume or painting and how relief flooded her confront when she overcame that hard passage. But Ron's favorite affair that Hermione did while reading was the fact that she could remain silent and motionless for and so long that you would think she was a statue. Once, he swore that she did not move a muscle for over six hours. I like the idea of 2 people but enjoying each other'southward simultaneous existence. It's peaceful.
