Gryffindor common room! With Lee, Neville, Ginny, Fred, George, Harry and Hermione chilling by the fire while Ron is tellling some very exciting story. Belinda and Parvati gossiping in the background. Click for better quality!
Fitted more characters in this one than in every other Harry Potter piece I’ve ever done so I’m proud of myself!
Among the other major plot holes/inconsistencies with Crimes of Grindlewald, this one is important too. McGonagall made a cameo appearance as a professor…… which makes NO SENSE BECAUSE THE MOVIE TOOK PLACE IN 1927 AND SHE WASN’T BORN UNTIL 1935
So I know this is such a small thing and quite a few people might disagree but I don’t like the lack of wizarding robes.
It’s pretty established that Harry is oblivious but one of the few things that is mentioned several times in the books is that most wizards are horrible at blending in with the muggles. To the point where during the Quiditch World Cup there’s a scene that Harry and Hermione both react to.
And now all these years earlier everyone’s wearing very nice suits and dresses. It’s such a little thing but it bugs me SO MUCH!!
Just give me my flowing robes of green and gold!! My overly floppy witches hats!! My clueless magical fashion babies!!
ARTHUR WEASLEY IS ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED CHARACTERS IN THE SERIES AND CERTAINLY THE MOST UNDERRATED OF HARRY’S FATHER FIGURES ok this man:
is so passionate about his job and supporting muggle rights that he doesn’t give two shits abt his reputation as a blood traitor even tho it’s apparently the reason he never got promoted at the ministry
wrote the book on why u should not enchant muggle objects and literally has a shed full of flying vehicles and shit that he hopes his wife doesn’t find out about??? lmao what a rebel?? i love this guy
was concerned about harry before he even met him because ron was worried that he wasn’t responding to letters and when harry came to stay he totally could have been like ‘shit another mouth to feed’ but was really really happy that harry was there and safe??? ‘pls sit next to me at dinner, child, i need to ask you ten thousand questions about muggles’
like he was actually the first adult ever besides maybe hagrid to sit there and ask for harry’s opinions and recognize that he had knowledge and thoughts to offer im crying
fixed harry’s glasses for him after they broke in the floo ;-;
gave zero fucks about what everyone else thought should be done and told harry about sirius black bc he wanted this kid to be aware and safe as possible??
dragged the dursleys for not treating their nephew like a human being (and destroyed their living room what a great moment tbh)
gives advice that harry remembers years later bc he respects this kind ginger man so much ‘don’t trust something that can think for itself if u can’t see where it keeps its brain’
(lol remember that one time molly was upset about death eaters at the quidditch world cup and he made her some tea and then was like ‘i think this needs some whiskey too trust me i’m a doctor’)
agreed that harry should be told certain things about the resistance because he knew harry was competent and intelligent enough to handle it but like also kept in mind that harry was a kid in the middle of a war
took harry to work with him and made sure he got to his hearing on time and distracted him and ‘smiled at him encouragingly’ when he knew he was nervous im dying this was so sweet
was part of the group who threatened the dursleys to keep their hands and shitty attitudes away from harry and he was so ‘light’ and ‘pleasant’ abt it omg this dude was throwing so much shade
was ready to fight scrimgeour with remus when the minister wanted to get harry alone and harry had to be like ‘omfg stand down pls’
‘am i about to discover where you, ron, and hermione disappeared to while you were supposed to be in the back room of fred and george’s shop?’ … ‘how did you-?’ … ‘harry, please. you’re talking to the man who raised fred and george’
never raised his voice except for that one time he told a fully trained auror to back the hell off and get out of his way so he could see his injured son and harry literally thought ‘holy shit’ it says so right there in the book u can check
fought in the battle of hogwarts and after fred and harry had been killed he went into full on rage mode and teamed up with percy to fuck up the minister for magic
owns chickens
bonus:
‘madame delacour glided forward and stooped to kiss mrs. weasley too. “enchanteé,” she said. “your ‘usband ‘as been telling us such amusing stories!” mr. weasley gave a maniacal laugh; mrs. weasley threw him a look, upon which he became immediately silent and assumed an expression appropriate to the sickbed of a close friend.’
Bonus
Still doesn’t understand the function of a rubber duck
Is totally capable of going off on his boys but understands that two parents yelling at them is one too many
He’s a sweet, hardworking family man who will fuck you up and spit on your grave if you put any child in danger
Hermione is a not so great in the kitchen. When she cooks something and it is not really umm “yummy”… Ron always eats it and says she has a talent for the kitchen. Until Hermione tries herself the food and shakes her head, feeling so lucky to have him
I have always had the same headcanon!
So in my head she is not a “disaster in the kitchen”™
– she can make food. It’s just… adequate. It’s one of those things where when she cooks the chicken is always a tiny bit dry and under-seasoned. A lot of it is her precise nature. She will always follow the recipe exactly. And let’s face it– in cooking that doesn’t really mean good food. Great cooking requires adaptation, a willingness to go with the flow, the ability to improvise and change on the fly. Having an innate sense of ‘well the recipe SAYS to do this- but I know that would make it watery, too salty, or dry out the meat- so I’ll just tweak it’ is not in Hermione’s wheelhouse. Hermione does not tweak recipes.
She always follows the recipe to a t- so she’s more successful at baking than cooking- but there’s so much less ‘need’ to bake than cook. You need to cook every day, but baking? You can never bake and have your needs met. Cooking turns into a stressful event for her because she never seems to get it right, and is a perfectionist who hates failure.
Ron on the other hand I see as being great in the kitchen, and it annoys the sh!t out of Hermione sometimes. He’s very good at adapting in the moment, has instincts that help him think 4 or 5 steps in advance, and better at keeping up with a lot of stuff happening at once, and is definitely willing and able to change up something if it works better. He has a good palette, his mum as a font of information to help him out, and he starts to play with things.
He’s the sort who can look at a recipe, not really exactly measure anything, and it turns out great. He can and does improvise a lot in the kitchen. When he’s younger he’s still pretty traditional in his tastes and what he cooks, but over the years, especially when he’s no longer an Auror, he basically becomes a non-uptight foodie, who likes to try different ingredients and dishes. (Let’s face it, a lot of foodies are uptight snobs about food.) Ron is definitely not a food snob. He hates how so much of the weird interesting restaurants are snooty, because he is not a very formal guy and does not enjoy that atmosphere much at all. He just likes trying new stuff to inspire him later. I can see him going into a restaurant and being like ‘Oy! Mate, what’s IN this?! I love it!’ so getting more and more weird crap in the kitchen over the years.
Plus, I imagine there are wizard spells you can do to certain foods to make them less rancid to a kid’s palette.) He likes getting the kids to help out with the cooking at times, and that is when Hermione actually enjoys cooking. She likes helping out, but not actually being responsible for the end result.
‘All Ron does is complain and feel sorry for himself’
11yo Ron avoids going to the hospital wing for as long as possible after getting bit by a dragon since he was scared of getting Hagrid in to trouble. And I mean literally until he has to. Not when his hand had swelled to double the size, no. Not until it was also green. Then he lied his ass off to Pomfrey to avoid getting Hagrid in to trouble.
