Today, 11 Jewish people, my people, were shot dead by a man shouting “All Jews must die” simply because they were jewish and celebrating the birth of a child on their day of rest

Anti-semitism is always happening. High school boys drawing swastikas because they think it’s funny. People dressing up as Hitler for halloween. People profiling such as making fun of curly hair and large noses.

And when our own get blatantly murdered, I only see jewish people talking about it.

The leader of our country blames the synagogue for being attacked by an armed gunman.

People try to turn this into an anti-gun argument.

This was a hate crime that resulted in the loss of 11 human lives. Please acknowledge this. Please let this have some impact. Do not let this be forgotten or slip by unnoticed. This was a horrible event that should not be discarded

Okay so don’t laugh, but I spent the entire Harry Potter series thinking that a ‘jumper’ was one of those footie pajamas. It was not until I watched the movies that I realized oh shit they’re sweaters.

I READ ALL SEVEN HARRY POTTER BOOKS IMAGINING THE WEASLEYS AND HARRY RUNNING AROUND THE COMMON ROOM IN FUZZY, WOOLLY, FOOTIE PAJAMAS WITH THE FIRST LETTER OF THEIR NAMED STITCHED ON THE FRONT. AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU GUYS MUST BE REALLY RELAXED OVER THERE IN LONDON BECAUSE LOOK AT ALL THESE FUCKING PEOPLE WEARING GOSH DAMN FOOTIE PAJAMAS TO MEALS AND CLASSES, WOW IT MUST TAKE A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF ‘ATTRACTIVE’ TO PULL OFF FLIRTING IN FUCKING FOOTIE PAJAMAS HEY DIDN’T ONE OF THE TEACHERS WEAR A JUMPER TOO AT ONE POINT GOOD GOLLY I WISH PEOPLE RAN AROUND MY SCHOOL IN FOOTIES HOLY HELL I THINK DRACO WORE ONE OF THOSE FOOTIE PAJAMAS TOO, DID SNAPE EVER WEAR A JUMPER MAN I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE MOVIES

Please tell me there’s fanart of this…

I thought they were called ‘sweaters’ in the American editions.

are there any opinions you have about hp that have completely changed over time?

I thought Lavender was annoying, and that her relationship with Ron was gross. Now, I think that she’s actually alright, and that her relationship with Ron wasn’t unpleasant, just not what either of them emotionally needed. I now think that it would have made more sense for Luna to date Ron, since I think she had a crush on him in OOTP. 

I thought Hermione was perfect at emotions after POA. Now, I think that she was just as bad as she was before, if not worse (because she never physically attacked Ron in the early books). 

I thought Ron and Hermione were ridiculous for not realising how the other felt about them. Now, I think that they were both insecure about themselves, and refused to see it (Hermione thought Ron saw her as just a know-it-all friend, and Ron thought Hermione saw him as an idiot and that he didn’t deserve her). 

I thought Ginny and Harry’s relationship in HBP and DH made sense. Now, I think that it could have been built up a lot better. 

Thanks for the ask, anon!
