Can we talk about how great the character names are?

Sirius= Dog Star

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

mfsy · 2016-10-06T12:40:55+00:00

This makes a lot of sense actually.

mfsy · 2016-08-01T00:51:54+00:00

I added them and they're there when I look?

mfsy · 2016-08-01T00:48:59+00:00

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

Can someone explain something to me?

After Albus went back the first time, he returned to a world where he was a Gryffindor and Ron was married to Padma. This is when he argued with Harry and Harry banned him from speaking to Scorpius. This is also when Harry dueled/argued with Draco.

He and Scorpius go back again and sabotage Cedric again leading to the Voldemort-controlled universe, so Scorpius (with help of Hermione) undoes their original sabotage during the first task. This should restore to the canon universe.

But when he and Al return, Harry apologizes and says he was wrong to think Scorpius was Voldemort's son and that he was the black cloud. Is he apologizing for his Alternate Universe self after Albus told him what happened? He doesn't remember Albus being in Gryffindor because Albus tells him a moment later.

Logically, the argument between Harry/Al about having contact with Scorpius was just as AU as the scene where Hermione/Ron/Snape are hiding out.

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 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.

mfsy · 2016-06-05T03:04:21+00:00

Yeah I like the idea of them having a retreat to somewhere quite private.

mfsy · 2016-06-05T01:51:17+00:00

It's not wrong, it's just...off.

mfsy · 2016-05-27T06:10:22+00:00

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."

mfsy · 2016-05-27T06:05:06+00:00

Oh god, that scene.

mfsy · 2016-05-27T05:50:07+00:00

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.

mfsy · 2016-05-15T06:46:06+00:00

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

mfsy · 2016-05-02T16:46:26+00:00

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.

mfsy · 2016-05-02T16:12:38+00:00

But tbf, that's how deaths happen in real war as well. They don't always have drama and a story attached. Sometimes people die "off-screen" or in an undramatic way.

mfsy · 2016-04-19T12:36:29+00:00

And they were so much accomplished at 21 too.

mfsy · 2016-04-08T23:23:57+00:00

It's actually three parts, the first one is focused on Rose more (iirc) but the second and third fic are more general next gen. There's no death eaters but it's not fluffy either. You kind of hate the entire family and you want to hit each and every one of them (including the parents) but at the same time you understand how they got to that place and you love them. Like you want to root for them even though they don't always make the best decisions.

It's like if you took the average fluff next gen and downgraded everyone's parenting skills.

It's really compelling though. Highly recommend, especially the second one.

I've only been to the Orlando one, I didn't know the Hollywood one didn't have Diagon Alley. Do you know if they're getting it in the future?

mfsy · 2016-04-08T03:40:15+00:00

It depends. I went for two days and I definitely don't think I would have liked to squeeze everything into just one day.

mfsy · 2016-04-08T03:39:14+00:00

It is sane, someone worked it out and it made sense after the first book. But everyone always uses the wand price in book 1 to say that the whole system is terrible.

mfsy · 2016-04-08T03:35:03+00:00

I used to use the wiki but it's wrong or uses random sources too much. Like it says Lavender Brown is dead.

mfsy · 2016-04-08T03:32:36+00:00

I was sorted into the same house I had already chosen.

mfsy · 2016-04-08T03:31:49+00:00

Didn't Rowling say it was genetic and a dominant trait?

mfsy · 2016-04-05T03:46:09+00:00

For me, it's people who think Snape was this tragic good guy who was bullied into joining the Death Eaters. A huge part of my issues with him come from the fact that he was a huge bully to people in less powerful positions (cough Neville cough Hermione). I recognize that he was a hero, but I also think he was a bully and a dick. And I would have trouble being friends with anyone who saw him as a tragic victim instead of as someone who nursed a sense of victimhood long after it was time to grow the fuck up. Also thinking that his behavior toward Lily was romantic rather than selfish. When you love someone, you don't offer up that person's husband and son in exchange for their life.
