YOOO HAPPY BIRTH DAY OUR GOLDEN BOY 💥💥💥💥💥💥

I am in need of new songs to listen to when writing fight scenes! 😁🥰 pls send help!

You are. Absolutely right omg.

As a former AVID Harry Potter fan, I have no clue. Like I guess Dumbledore and Hermione could be the eye?? But that feels so lame. The Weasleys could totally be a spidery webby family though [?]

I was thinking about the lack of character development in the Harry Potter (as one does) and how bc of that it would be really hard to assign fears to these characters

Cuz like any other media you think of a character and you're like oh (insert fear or two) vibes

Even thinking in fanon standards it's kinda hard. Like you get an idea of what they would be but it feels forced dosen't it?

Anyone have good fic recs for fics based solely around Harry and Hermione being siblings/besties and just all the fluff and sweetness. No romance no bigger plot (though I wouldn't mind a good story with the fluff) just harry and Hermione (possibly even Ron) spending time tg and being little cuties.

AO3 only 💃🏻

Magical Theory (Pt 2 out of ?)

Another section of my ever-growing headcanon on magic.

---

Magic is split into three different categories: Light, Dark, and Regular

Light Magic is the most powerful form of magic on this list. It is used to cleanse and protect the soul, and consists of protection charms that can only be used against creatures of pure darkness, like the Patronus charm does with dementors, and some types of magic related to removing jinxes, hexes, and curses. This form of magic is extremely difficult to use as many spells require purity of the user and extremely delicate rituals (not unlike its dark counter-part). Unlike Dark Magic, however, Light Magic requires an intent desire to create joy, purity, and safety. Most Light Magic users are hardly ever spoken of anymore, as this type of magic is pretty much extinct except for a couple of spells, though many healers use magic that borders on being considered ‘Light’. According to legend, unicorns were the original users of light magic and passed on their magical knowledge to wizards of old (this has never been confirmed as truth however).

Note: This also may be the type of magic used by Lily Potter to protect her son right before Voldemort murdered her, though not all magic involving love can be considered ‘Light’.

Dark Magic is technically an umbrella term that covers two types of magic: unpredictable, mysterious, often dangerous magic and Black Magic. The unpredictable, mysterious magic in the section refers to magic involving things like the mind, emotion, life, and time just to name a few – all that fickle stuff you can’t mess with without risking severe consequences (like, reality-warping or life-altering consequences). Due to the lack of knowledge surrounding these topics and how dangerous manipulating these with magic can be, the use of this type of magic is prohibited without the knowledge and oversight of the Ministry of Magic. Time magic has the most relaxed oversight, as issues created can generally be fixed easily with a Time-Turner, which is why Professor McGonagall was able to keep a Time-Turner on her person and allow Hermione to use it (after some training, of course).

Black Magic is the most dangerous form of magic on this list. It is used specifically to inflict harm on others and unnaturally tamper with the soul. As stated by Adalbert Waffling, “Tamper with the deepest mysteries — the source of life, the essence of self — only if prepared for consequences of the most extreme and dangerous kind.” Each type of curse, potion, or what have you under this category has its own set of consequences, but they all corrupts its users – either just from the emotional and psychological toll of using it or through actually physically, mentally, of spiritually changing their being (which I'll talk about later).  This type of magic is strictly banned by the Ministry unless very specific circumstances arise (the most common being manhunts for dark wizards or war).

Regular magic is the daily stuff everyone can readily use – levitation charms, light-making spells, even fire-making spells. These spells require basic wand movements and some focus to perform, but anyone is technically capable of doing them without much trouble. This kind of magic can be practiced regularly and is acceptable to use at all times (except in the muggle world of course). It is considered a tool, which also means that it can be used for light of dark purposes (though this also depends on the spell or potion being used). Regular magic is also influenced by emotion – the more emotional the caster is, the stronger and more unpredictable their magic will become.

Magical Theory - Pt. 3 (Unforgivables Edition)

We back in it.

---

The Unforgivable Curses are the three most powerful (known) Dark Magic spells in the world. They fall under the category of Black Magic, due to one of their requirements for use being the full intent to cause harm and possess a particularly curious consequence: damage to the soul.

Imperio is considered the most lightly-sentenced of the unforgivables, meaning you’ll only get one life sentence for using it instead of multiple (however, this also depends on what exactly the caster made the target do – I can absolutely see people using this spell for the dumbest crap, think Karens-at-Walmart levels of stupid). This curse requires the caster to have the desire to completely enslave the target as well as knowing what exactly they want the target to do. This curse causes some damage to the soul and its tie to the caster’s body. It is also the easiest to cast of the three.

Crucio is considered by some to be the cruelest of the unforgivables. Multiple life sentences are generally given for using it; however, it is heavily rumored that officials within the Ministry of Magic have gotten away with using it for hundreds of years. The spell requires the caster to have the desire to cause pain and suffering. Hate, rage, and other strong negative emotions produce more potent magic, so this specific spell is extremely powerful and extremely dangerous to use as it can easily go out of control. This spell can have similar effects to those of Avada Kedavra if used often.

Avada Kedavra is the most dreaded of the three curses. Casters of this curse will receive more life sentences than those who have just cast Crucio, though the number of sentences is also affected by how many people the caster has killed with the spell as well. Reasons for this are the spell requirements and results; this specific spell requires the caster to have the unremitting desire to murder their target. Desiring the death of their target is not enough in this case for the spell to be successful. The spell itself will only react to the rage, hate, and/or desire for destruction that come with committing a murder. This spell essentially shatters the tie between the soul and body, much like how a dementor rips tis tie as it sucks a person’s soul out. As a result, the ties holding the caster’s soul to their body is loosened or broken slightly. The more often the caster uses Avada Kedavra, the more their soul will shatter. However, these pieces of their soul can be saved (with great difficulty and care) and placed into Horcruxes to give them (potentially) eternal life.

Two up, two down

We talk about Potter as a timeless series, as quills and parchment will never date, but there are a few key elements which are of their time, and I sometimes suspect that eventually, their original meaning may be lost.

Snape’s house in Spinner’s End is one of these.  If you visit Surrey, a house akin to Number 4 on Privet Drive can be found on hundreds of identical estates.  Indeed, the three-bedroom house with a garage, and both front and back gardens, situated on a private housing estate in leafy surburbia is one that most British people will have strolled through at some point.

But Snape’s house in Spinner’s End is the opposite of the Dursleys’ aspirational abode, and is somewhere that few modern readers will have seen in its original form with their own eyes.  Snape’s house in Spinner’s End is a traditional two up, two down through terraced house, mired deep in a maze of identical cobbled streets, overlooked by a looming mill chimney, and seemingly – by the 90s – entirely abandoned.

The difficulty that some may have in accurately picturing this scene is because these houses, in this state, no longer exist.  A large percentage of two up, two down terraces were demolished as part of slum clearance, which should tell you all that you need to know about the state of the houses.  

Those which remained have been extensively modified – usually knocking down the privy (outside toilet), and then building a two storey extension across the bulk of the yard to create a third room downstairs, and a bathroom upstairs.  Some houses only have a single extension; it is rather common in some areas of the Midlands to have a bathroom that leads off the kitchen downstairs – because the bathroom was the missing room, and it was cheaper to build one storey than two.

Pottermore had an article earlier in the year which explained how the filmmakers originally wanted to film on location, but could not, because the houses simply did not exist in their traditional state.

The houses were typically constructed with two rooms downstairs and two rooms upstairs with a tiny backyard entry leading to the outhouse. Craig actually considered shooting on location, but even though the buildings were intact, they had been brought into the modern era, with up-to-date kitchens and plastic extensions, so the set was built at the studio.

Throughout the 20th century, cobbled streets were routinely replaced by various other road surfaces, namely tarmac and asphalt – and, of course, the scarcity of cobblestones now means that such streets are aesthetically desirable.  However, the cobblestones in Spinner’s End are not an indication of affluence, but an indication of an area left behind. This is further illustrated by the rusted railings, the broken streetlights, and the boarded up windows.

These were workers houses, often funded by the owners of the mill, and therefore tied – meaning that rent was deducted from your wage before you received it.  There were benefits to being in tied accommodation, including being close to work and having a guaranteed landlord – but that was as much benefit to the mill owner as the worker.  Seeing great competition, some mill owners invested in their properties to entice workers – but Spinner’s End is not an example of this; Spinner’s End would’ve been regarded as little better than a slum even when fully occupied.

The narrow streets are indicative of when these houses were built, presumably in the late 1800s – cars were not a concern, and the attitude was to build as many houses on as small a piece of land as possible.

By the time the 90s roll around, and we see Narcissa and Bellatrix descend upon the street, Spinner’s End appears to be mostly deserted.  With the closure of traditional manual industries, families would be keen to relocate to where work could be found.  Estates which hadn’t already been cleared by the 60s would find themselves left to rack and ruin, their former occupants long gone – whether seeking a new life elsewhere, or having died.

For once, Bellatrix is not being anti-Muggle when she sneers at the Muggle dunghill; she is unnervingly accurate. It is a slum by her standards, but most importantly, it was a slum by everyone else’s standards as well.  By the time Severus was born, work should’ve been well under way to clear the area, or to renovate it.  This evidently did not occur – which itself explains how undesirable the area is; nobody wanted to spruce it up - they wanted to leave.  There were no jobs, no amenities, no services – and eventually, no people.

We often ponder why Snape remains at Spinner’s End, but perhaps there lies the answer; he wasn’t just hiding from the magical world, but he was also hiding from the Muggle world as well…

Hey, I have a art request, if you even take requests 😅. So, I don’t know if you ship it, but I’m a HUGE Drarry fan, like. Live of Drarry, and I would LOVE to see sum Drarry fanart in your art style. Btw I love your style! It’s so beautiful and inspirational! Don’t ever stop! ❤️❤️❤️

*scurries up to you and drops the harry potter meme redraws at your feet*

*scurries back into the art void until who knows when*

being in both atla fandom and hp one is... interesting. we talk a lot about morality in both, but it's weird because atla IS about morality - it's almost the central topic of almost every character's arc and IS undoubtedly the central topic of the overarching plot; while hp is just.... a mess of themes and plots and arcs, never making much sense. atla is so well crafted, curated, perfected to a tee. hp is stretched and morphed into something we want it to be by the fandom. of course it still blooms under our fingertips, but... it's fascinating to see the striking differences between two stories with immense potentials where one succeeded in reaching it in execution while the other didn't. so why do we - the hp fandom - still try to prove something to each other when it comes to shipping and loving certain characters? you know you can love despicable characters as much as good ones, right? the world is never black and white. stop trying to fit fictional worlds in that mold as well. they're never gonna fit.
