McGonagall: now class, what is the difference between an animagus and a werewolf?
Sirius: *raises hand*
McGongall: yes Mr. Black?
Sirius: an animagus has better hair
Remus: *raises hand* well werewolves are taller
Remus: generally speaking
Sirius: *raises hand* WELL animagi have better bodies!
James: *raises hand* I second that and I also second that they have better hair
Remus: *raises hand* well werewolves don’t have the time or energy to style their hair for 20 minutes, particularly around the full moon!
Peter: *raises hand* plus, werewolves don’t sing obnoxiously in the shower
Class:……
Sirius: animagi are sexier
James: yeah!
McGonagall: …..while I appreciate the compliments, those were not the answers I was looking for
i used to think that a foot of parchment was a lot and feel bad when harry potter characters were assigned to write that much
but then i realized the paper i write on is 8.5 by 11 inches.
so a foot of parchment is the equivalent of like, a page and a half of paper.
they complained SO MUCH about essays that were like
a page and a half
wtf guys
get your shit together
No wonder Hermione always got onto the boys for not doing their homework.
it’s honestly not even a foot and a half it’s just one sheet of paper. a foot is 12 inches. like dang if i had to only write one page long essays in school about cool magic shit then i would have been ecstatic.
also 12pt times new roman— the standard assigned size and font for a lot of essay assignments— produces significantlysmaller text than a muggleborn teenageer with a pen and ink quill would be able to manage on the regular, no matter how dedicated she was. ron and harry are frequently noted to be using large handwriting on unlined paper. their homework would have been about three short paragraphs if they were feeling studious.
no wonder hermione was so fucking exasperated! muggle students their age would have strangled them.
my favorite thing about the spanish harry potter translation is that instead of calling voldemort “the dark lord,” they call him señor tenebroso, which basically means “mr. spooky”
First Auror Potter I have ever painted was on his birthday, July 31st, in 2016, and it’s the first of this collection. I think that’s why I started to think of him as an +20 yo auror. Somehow, it’s like he’s growing with me in real time. My vision of Harry Potter has matured over the years. He’s no longer a young boy in my mind as I’m no longer a child or teenager. What motivates me is to think he’s got wiser and more serious and all shit he’s been through since he was a kid made him even more sarcastic then he was. “No need to call me sir, professor” would turn into something like “You need to call me sir”.
