🔥 Rupert Grint

He should be considered one of the greatest actors of his generation. He was also the best actor out of the three HP leads (even Dan and Emma admitted it), and yet most people don’t even realise how amazing he is. It’s infuriating.

🔥 Snape

He may have been on the good side all along, but that doesn’t make him a good person. His bullying attitude towards Neville, Hermione and Harry is especially horrifying. None of them had ever done anything to him, but he treated them horribly.

What do you think about Victor Krum in general and about Victor x Hermione in particular?

Viktor Krum is framed as a gentlemen by the narrative, despite the fact that much of his behaviour comes across as worrying and borderline-grooming. The age gap between him and Hermione was bad enough, but his interest in the fifteen-year-old Ginny Weasley when he himself was in his early-twenties makes me suspect that he actually has a thing for underage girls. 

Also, in DH, his attitude comes across as incredibly entitled, as if he thought his status as a Quidditch player entitled him to all the good-looking women around him. 

I don’t like Viktor x Hermione at all. When you re-read the series as an adult, his attitude towards her comes across as very creepy. Especially when he confronted Harry in the dark Hogwarts grounds because he felt threatened by the fourteen-year-old boy Hermione was best friends with.

🔥 Daniel, Rupert and Emma

Dan is a decent actor but I don’t know if I could hand around him for long (he seems very hyperactive in interviews)

Rupert is…. criminally underrated as an actor, and should not be ignored as much as he is. Also, most people think he’s been unemployed since HP, which is ironic considering he’s probably got the largest IMDb page out of all the young former HP cast members. 

Emma isn’t flat-out terrible, but her acting hasn’t improved since POA (if anything, it’s actually got worse). There’s a reason she’s often referred to as ‘eyebrows’. I have yet to understand why so many people think she’s such a good actor.

🔥 hp canon ships

  • Romione is a wonderful ship (how is this even an unpopular opinion in the first place?)
  • Hinny is fine but it’s build-up could have been a little more obvious
  • Molly x Arthur is awesome, and a great example of a strong, loving, married couple
  • Jily is wonderful and shows how much people can mature and change
  • I personally would have thought it more interesting from a character perspective if Ron had dated Luna instead of Lavender in HBP, but I’m not sure Rowling could have done it justice

🔥 Hermione (everything you think about her and you feels like it’s unpopular)

  • That she has flaws, and isn’t a perfect person
  • She should have gotten some form of punishment for her bird attack on Ron (or at least shown remorse for it afterwards)
  • That it wasn’t right of her to accuse Ron of being emotionally-stunted when she was easily as bad as he was (if not much worse) about emotions
  • Her way of dealing with traitors in the DA was incredibly short-sighted. What if Ginny or someone-else had been given truth-potion, and ended up scared for life (which would have also immediately shown Umbridge that the DA existed). 
  • Ron is far more of a catch than she is (there, I said it)
  • Despite her negative traits, she is still a good person.

🔥 Daniel, Rupert and Emma

ronandhappiness:

  • dan: his acting in gof was horrendous. “he’s bayk. voldemort. he’s bayk.” dan ily but stop
  • emma: her eyebrows don’t bother me as much as those gasps of air she takes before delivering her lines.
  • rupert: he’s,,,,,,,,very attractive??? why is this an unpopular opinion????? fuck ya’ll

Only Rupert could pull off that hairstyle he was given for GOF. Having said that, I am glad the film-makers decided to make his hair shorter for OOTP. Blasphemy, I know…

To be fair to Dan, his acting did get much better in OOTP. That scene where Harry cries over Sirius had to be muted because Dan’s scream was so heart-wrenching. 

But I agree with you on Emma’s acting. Did she really need to do some much heavy breathing? And the eyebrows don’t exactly help matters.
