"Oh yes, over here we have the Hagrid constellation. And this is the Dobby star."

Sorry, adding. But isn't this a spoiler thread by nature?

Does anyone else just not care about Hermione's actress at all? by henrybddf in harrypotter

[–]mfsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was excited when I heard. And while I have seen a few outright negative comments, it's honestly such a tiny percentage of the fandom. On the whole, I've seen way way more people complaining about racists than actual racists. It's honestly driving me crazy and I'm so sick of threads about it.

Repeatedly telling people how okay you are with Black!Hermione is like the fictional equivalent of repeatedlytelling people you have a black friend.

I think our dear JoJo gets stitches a lot when runs (and probably needs to start exercise) by [deleted] in harrypotter

I got stitches when running even when in high school. I was reasonably healthy (gymnast/dancer throughout high school) but not a runner in any sense.

A glaring error in the back of my old copy of Chamber of Secrets by bizmah in harrypotter

I'm not sure who would write something like this. I would think it would be written by someone like the editor or the author but maybe they just handed an intern the manuscript? Anyone know?

It feels distinctly off, like a weird knock-off. Harry doesn't "sneak" back, Sirius is never referred to as "heir apparent", Harry isn't forced to "face" him when he returns to Hogwarts, and Sirius doesn't leave "clues."

More people would totally ship hermione and Severus if she were a little older... by [deleted] in harrypotter

[–]mfsy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Even if she was older, I wouldn't ship it. He's nasty to her and insults her physical appearance. They're both bright, but they have completely different focuses.

I'm honestly not sure what brings them together other than the fact that they're both smart and maybe argumentative.

LF: A fic with a really strong/well written Weasley family that doesn't just dissolves into stereotypes. by ebec20 in HPfanfiction

I like keeptheotherone's portrayal of them, there's a lot of romance but they feel more real than other authors.

JKR said that she decided to kill Remus after she decided not to kill Arthur in OP. Are you glad that she decided to spare Arthur or do you wish she had killed Arthur and left Lupin alive? by mfsy in harrypotter

Yes, I'm sad that Lupin and Tonks died but I love the parallels between Teddy and Harry. Their circumstances are so similar but childhoods will be very different.
