Why don’t witches curl their hair by wrapping it around their wand and muttering a warming charm?

SLYTHERIN: “If you’ve a story, make sure it’s a whole one, with details close to hand. It’s the difference between a good lie and getting caught.“ –Tamora Pierce (Trickster’s Choice) 

SLYTHERIN: “Most humans think the appearance of quiet is quiet. They do not see that sometimes the enemy is as quiet as the serpent. Only when it has stolen all of their eggs will they know bad walks in the quiet as well as the noisy.” –Tamora Pierce (Trickster’s Choice) 

No, YOU’RE crying

If you just needed something nice today, here it is.

oh…my god this is so beautiful

There are animals in the world that have never seen a human.

Good for them

Do you ever think about how when Ron’s wand broke 2nd year, just using spell-o-tape wasn’t enough to fix it. It kept backfiring in ways that were really bad, like making himself eat slugs, or kinda just. being defective in general.

Hagrid’s wand was snapped his 3rd year. But he still uses it, disguised as an umbrella. And it works.

Like we know Ollivander didn’t fix it, since he was surprised to hear Hagrid had the pieces. Not to mention since Hagrid was expelled, it would be extremely illegal to fix it. Hogwarts works as a groundskeeper, and lives in a one room wooden hut that he made himself. He’s not going to have the money to ribe someone to fix it, and then there’s also the fact that because of his heritage, even if he could bribe someone to fix it, they probably wouldn’t. And sure, Dumbledore probably knows that Hagrid fixed his wand, there’s a certain level of deniability there. He wouldn’t have actually gotten involved with the wand mending process. Especially when Hagrid was just accused of killing a student.

So that means Hagrid would have put his wand back together himself.

The 3rd year transfiguration examination was to turn a teapot into a tortoise. Only inanimate objects into animals. Part of the reason animagi are so rare is because they’re human to animal transformations. The first time we meet Hagrid, he gives Dudley a tail, and correctly animates the boat he and Harry are on. Silently.

Harry and co. didn’t even attempt to learn silent casting until 6th year. Anything Hagrid learned after 3rd year would have been self taught.

Hagrid is one powerful wizard and holy shit combined with his resistance to magic with his giant heritage forget McGonagall holy shit Hagrid is terrifying

No wonder sixteen-year-old Voldemort was intimidated enough by thirteen-year-old Hagrid to pick him as the one to frame for murder.

Woulda been nice if the media had explored wordless magic more deeply, since the first spells we ever see use it.

Hagrid defeating Voldemort would have been one hell of a plot twist.

–Lin-Manuel Miranda (Alexander Hamilton: Hamilton: The Room Where It Happens)

Ron being okay with Harry and Draco being together, but being completely exasperated when they make eyes at each other across a room, and being entirely done when he hears them flirting, and swearing to all the gods that he will kill them both if he walks in on them kissing one more time, is basically what I live for

Ron finding out Harry is gay or bi and being mad, not because he’s gay/bi, but because Harry’d never hit on him-

“Never! You mean… never?!?” Ron exclaimed, Harry convulsing in laughter at Ron’s annoyance. “I mean, not once did you EVER find yourself being attracted to me? That’s SO offensive, Harry. To THINK that you had a crush on MALFOY, but never on ME?!?”

“What’s he got that I don’t?” Ron demanded.

“Ron, you’re my best mate, I don’t think of you like that,” Harry said, amused.

“That’s not the point,” Ron replied petulantly. “I can’t believe you would choose him over me.”

“I’m not choosing him over -”

“And he’s so DRAMATIC,” Ron cut in. “Merlin, how can you stand being around someone who is such a drama queen?”

Harry snorted. “I really have no idea.”
