the sixth year gryffindor boys dorms must have been so awkward like imagine being in a situation where you’re bunking with a girl’s ex boyfriend, current boyfriend, and older brother at the same time
slkdjflkdf like IMAGINE!!!! oh my god…like harry comes in with seconds to spare before curfew or whatever and ron like wants to know where he was and gets halfway through asking and then just trails off awkwardly and harry tries to laugh out of answering and dean’s just like unabashedly sulking/glaring and whoever else is in there just watching the whole thing wanting to crawl out the window
I would like to point out that the other person in their room was seamus who had a massive crush on dean so it was worse
sorcerer’s/philosopher’s stone: i’ll be a knight, literally sacrifices himself for harry and hermione 10/10 chamber of secrets: in like chapter two he FLIES a car to save harry from his abusive relatives already 10/10 prisoner of azkaban: stood on his broken leg to try and defend harry from a supposed mass murderer he’d been scared of most of his freaking life 10/10 goblet of fire: ron’s indignation on his behalf was worth about a hundred points to him – also the thing harry missed most 10/10 order of the phoenix: weasley is our king 10/10 half-blood prince: In spite of the feeling of dread that had just swept through him his spirits could not help but lift at the sight of it. Ron was in there 10/10 deathly hallows: ron breaking the silencing charm to shout at voldermort that harry beat him 10/10
Honestly during the battle of Hogwarts I feel immensely cheated at not having more Peeves v. Voldemort time because Peeves can’t die and is a complete asshole and I just really want that interaction in my soul of how furious Voldemort would be with Peeves for just existing. Voldemort can’t banish or kill Peeves so he would be trying to direct his Death Eater troops with Peeves floating three feet to the left repeating everything Voldemort says in a mocking high-pitched voice.
is just too big a stretch for my suspension of disbelief. Magic, unicorns, childhood trauma manifesting as a physical representation of destruction- that’s all cool.
But don’t try to make me believe that Jude Dumbledore Law wanted to grind on Coleslaw Head up there.
honestly the harry potter fandom is so wild like we’ve all collectively refused to accept cursed child as canon but some college kids tell us hufflepuffs are particularly good finders and we don’t even question it
according to JKR, lockhart was born in 1964, which would make him 28 at the time of “chamber of secrets”
do you realize what this means
most of lockhart’s coworkers, who all hated him so much, may have had to teach him at one point.
snape would’ve been in school with him, albeit a few years ahead.
imagine teaching/going to school this raging narcissistic dumbass, and then he graduates and from then on, no matter how bad life gets, you think, “at least i’ll never have to deal with gilderoy fucking lockhart ever again”
and then
he gets famous
he’s hailed as a hero
your students and your mum all have crushes on him
and then
he gets hired at your place of work
tl;dr: lockhart is lucky no one in the staffroom stabbed him by midterm season
anyway, harry potter Concept where down the road the boy who lived thing becomes less relevant and most people know him from the pictures of when he was a teenager, so by the time he’s middle aged all of harry’s interactions play out exactly like that tony hawk tweet
if it happened at all, it happened like that
