Personally I would say Rupert, Tom and Daniel are the best actors of the HP fame. Rupert and Tom have always been good and Dan got better with age.The girls are either bad (Emma), was not given much to work with (Katie) or just not really into acting that much (Bonnie). Evanna is good, the best of the girls.

Fair enough. Broadly speaking, I agree with all of that. 

Rupert, Tom and Daniel are all very good as actors, as is Evanna. 

Bonnie’s more into directing and charity-work nowadays, so the “actor” categorisation doesn’t really apply to her so much anymore. Apparently, her directing work is really good. 

Katie definitely had very little to work with; I find it difficult to remember any personality traits of film!Cho other than a) she’s nice and b) she’s Harry’s crush. Katie’s good in other stuff I’ve seen her in, so I don’t think there’s any problem with her acting.  

And you all know my opinion on Emma’s acting already… 

Thanks for the message, anon!

What about Tom?

I KNEW I FORGOT SOMEONE! Let me just go back and edit him in….

I’ve put him between Bonnie and Matthew in terms of acting ability and talent. He’s great in everything I’ve seen him in, but some people I know refer to him as ‘desperate’ when it comes to his publicity. But, purely as an actor, I think he’s good at what he does. 

Thanks for the reminder, anon (I can’t believe I forgot Tom Felton on my list)…

If you can rate the HP cast (the young ones) according to their acting talent (not just their performance in hp, in general), how would you? Who’s the best and who’s the worst in your opinion?

Oooh, I’m gonna anger a lot of people with this answer…

With 1st being best;

  1. Rupert Grint (great in everything I’ve seen him in, very versatile actor with a huge range. No complaints whatsoever. Have yet to understand why he’s not more recognised for his talents)
  2. Evanna Lynch (great in everything I’ve seen her in)
  3. Bonnie Wright (same again. Wish she’d been given more to do in HP. She was virtually wasted until the last three films)
  4. Tom Felton (great in everything I’m seen him in, no problems with him as an actor. People I know have referred to him as ‘desperate’ in his publicity appearances, but his acting I have no problems with.)
  5. Matthew Lewis (great in ‘Ripper Street’ especially)
  6. Daniel Radcliffe (somewhat bland in early HP, but good in a lot of other projects. Works better on stage than on film, in my opinion. Very good at ‘unusual’ roles that make him think outside the box)
  7. James and Oliver Phelps (good in everything I’ve seen them in)
  8. Jessie Cave (good in HP and in other projects)
  9. Alfred Enoch (apparently, he’s very good on stage)
  10. Devon Murray (doing very well as an actor; no complaints)
  11. Katie Leung (haven’t really seen her in much else, but was good in what I did see her in. I think the HP films didn’t give her much to work with, which is a real shame)
  12. Emma Watson (I’m still not sure why she got so much hype during HP when her acting-especially in the last 4 films- was so lacklustre most of the time)

Thanks for the ask, anon!

P*rcico: the one PJO ship I can’t stand

kataruhh:

Why?

Shipping Nico with Percy denies Nico his character development.

The Nico who had a crush on Percy isn’t the Nico he is now. The Nico who had a crush on Percy hated himself, had no idea what his place in the world was, had a warped sense of justice and right and wrong, constantly went through inner turmoil, and alienated anyone and everyone who could possibly help him because of said inner turmoil.

Though it takes a great deal of strength, and even intervention by outside parties, Nico becomes stronger by getting over Percy; by putting that part of his life behind him and moving forward as a person who is mindful of his sexuality – embracing it, even.

I don’t even ship Solangelo (it just felt too rushed to me and I don’t think they have any chemistry also jasico), but who am I to deny Nico a healthy relationship within canon?

To ship Nico and Percy is to disregard the progression Nico goes through over the span of PJO and HOO and trap Nico in the past.

How can one learn from the past if they are trapped in it?

@headcanonsandmore Thoughts?

I’m hesitant to weigh into this debate. I’m not really into the PJ/HOO fandom, although I did read both series in the past. 

Personally, I was completely blind-sided by the reveal of Nico’s crush on Percy. Because the PJ series was from Percy’s POV, I thought (as Percy did) that Nico had a crush on Annabeth (and possibly Juniper, but that might just be my own reading of it). The revelation didn’t anger me, of course, but I was blind-sided by it.

I personally don’t ship Percy and Nico. My feelings on it are that Nico’s emotional baggage would make a relationship with Percy very difficult, not to mention the fact that Percy (in-canon) sees Nico as a friend. I don’t really ship any couples in PJ/HOO other than the canon ones because I’m just not that deep into the fandom (unlike with HP, where I ship non-canon pairings all the time). 

I’d also like to clarify that these are just my own personal opinions, and I have no interest in offending anyone’s ship.

imagine believing that the golden trio are all straight in this, almost the year 2019

Imagine believing any of the golden trio are straight

Harry and Ron being non-straight? Yes. Although I’m not sure about Hermione. Maybe she’s on the ace spectrum but with a preference for men over women? 

Harry and Ron are Bi and Hermione’s sexuality is Ron Weasley.

Agreed. Hermione is Ron-sexual Ron-romantic.

In which case that would make Hermione decidedly Ace Spectrum: Grey-Romantic Demisexual (with some toss in for an unrealized sapiosexual – but not intelligence but emotional intelligence.)

I’ll go ‘round and Round on Ron (my problem, no one else’s.) but…. I’ve been writing Hermione as Ace Spectrum from the start.

How is Hermione’s sacrifice to let her family behind greater than Ron’s?. Her parents are muggles, she changed her memories and sent them to Australia where they were safe. That’s a great sacrifice that costed her deeply, of course, there’s no point trying to diminish that, but how is it a bigger sacrifice than Ron’s?

Ron’s family is fighting in this war for the greater good, even when they are not part of the underdog group. Being in the good side is the reason why they are poor in the first place, because the other privileged pure blood wizards thought they didn’t have the proper “wizard pride” so they didn’t let Arthur Weasley have a better job in the ministry. They already lost family in the first war against Voldemort, both Molly’s brothers were killed because they belonged to the original order of the phoenix.

When Ron left his family to join Harry in the search of the horcruxes his brother Bill was already injured by death eaters. His brother George had already lost his ear. His father and brothers had to go to work every single day to the ministry of magic and other very traceable places. His sister had to go back to Hogwarts. The Weasleys weren’t hidden like Hermione’s parents or the Dursleys. They were in the middle of the battle with a big fat target in all of them. He knew that it was mandatory for him to come back to Hogwarts, so he created a fake Ron to pretend he was sick. If the trick hadn’t worked the Weasleys would have been imprisoned or killed.

So illuminate me. As great as Hermione’s sacrifice was (and of course it was great) how in the world is bigger than Ron’s?. 

Yo. When Ron and Hermione are telling Harry about the precautions they’ve taken to protect their families, he’s touched and impressed by both of them.

You know why we make less of Ron’s sacrifice? Because Hermione cries in that scene and Ron comforts her. Because Ron shows less evidence of being upset by the choice he’s making, we assume it’s not a big deal. And then later, when the Horcrux pushes him into revealing how much he is afraid for him, he isn’t crying, he’s shouting, so we blame him again.

Ron’s sacrifices get downplayed because Ron downplays them. He doesn’t want Harry to know how much being Harry’s friend costs him. Because that’s who he is. How could you not like this guy?

why would you do this to me i’m crying rn i stg at this point the only thing i hate about ron weasley is how much he downplays his sacrifices fuck u ron weasley

He wouldn’t be Ron Weasley if he didn’t downplay his own sacrifices.

Hugo: mom, can you help with this homework about the second wizarding war? Dad was helping me, but I left because I am tired of listen how soft were your lips when you kissed him

Bold of you to assume Hermione wouldn’t go into excessive detail about Ron’s lips when he kissed her. 

Minutes later

Hermione: and he literally swept me off my feet! He really has strong arms… it’s useful when it’s cold because he keeps you warm and… oh I’m rambling.

Return back on the facts… facts about the war not about all the hidden freckles I was able to see being so near to him, and his eyes… oh his eyes…

Hugo: … maybe I will ask uncle Harry
