Harry Potter losing all FOUR grandparents before he turned 11 is one of the strangest unexplained details in the entire series.
James and Lily died in their early twenties. That means their parents could realistically have been in their 40s or 50s when Harry became an orphan.
And the Potters were a wealthy wizarding family whose ancestors lived unusually long lives.
So where were Harry’s grandparents? Why was there nobody from either side of his family who could take him in?
I know the Dursleys were chosen because of Lily’s protection, but that doesn’t explain why ALL FOUR grandparents were already dead.
JK Rowling really left Harry without a single living grandparent, and the books barely explain how that happened.
people always eat it up because it’s something they can feel smart about but it immediately tells me that artist has no original thoughts or anything interesting to say
one of my songwriting pet peeves is when i can point at the exact tiktok trend/online conversation that served as inspiration for the song. i can name a couple of examples where this works well, but most of the time it’s a big no for me
the concept of petunia and snape canonically knowing each other... like... it just feels so weird... i mean imagine if harry found out about it before he actually did... idk this shit is hilarious to me
poa is my favorite movie of the series but two things i can’t forgive is 1. lack of explaining who the marauders were and 2. removing the “prongs” line harry whispers when his stag bows its head and he realizes what his dad’s animagus form was and that james is still with him
kim is just a workaholic who can't stand relaxing, doesn't make the others lazy. I saw a clip of her telling kourtney, who just had a baby 2 months prior, that she was being a lazy bitch and she needed to get her ass back to work because she didn't work while pregnant 💀
THIS. he is NOT the careless “fun” parent some of yall want him to be, that is a grown man with responsibilities who loves his son to death. do you guys deadass think he’d let harry run around carefree in a dangerous situation? he’d be livid.
editing this made me think about the storyline too much. i’m like OVERLY annoyed that james wanted sirius as a secret keeper for symbolic reasons and that sirius wanted peter because he’s so weak that it’s ironic. and i’m even MORE annoyed by the fact that both are in character.
I’m a reverse hypochondriac. I assume all symptoms are psychosomatic until proven otherwise and I never go to the dr cuz it’s probably in my head anyway
wizards are a dying species because they only have ONE CHILD. magic is clearly a dominant trait considering it randomly shows up in muggles. if they wanted to keep pureblood lineage they should’ve been fucking like the weasleys
