The Lockhart part has me laughing. Like who is doing the hiring of all these teachers?

miawallace, if I remember correctly, Lockhart is the only one who applied that year. But yeah, they rarely had a competent DADA professor

And Dumbledore put him there knowing that he wouldn't be loved. He totally molded Harry into someone useful to him.

I really wonder why people didn't transfer their children en masse. I'd have gone to homeschooling the second I heard about a TROLL wandering about the school.

Im always angry at the fact that basically the only person to give anything to Harry about his parents was Hagrid an the photo album. Like thats who he should have named his kid after. Im always sad when he doesnt get real recognition in fics. Its not a deal breaker but it hits me.
Albus knew them and he should have told Harry about them.

I have a Pinterest board devoted to hating on the Jedi council. I'm going to need to make one for Dumbledore hate now.

This thread is gold. Dumbledore was a manipulative asshole. whenever I reread the series as a parent I am struck by all the glossing over Dumbledore's shitty headmastering and lack of response by wizard parents.
And you know, I really did go through the 4 steps of Harry Potty denial.

I bawled my eyes out when Dumbledore died in HBP. I remember staying up all night reading it and at 22 (23?) it was so sad.
Now, whenever I reread it, I think that the minister wasn't wrong to replace Dumbledore in OotP. Umbridge sure as shit wasn't the right person, but Dumbledore didn't care about students at all.

You know Beauxbatons Academy of Magic didnt have to deal with the kind of fuckery that went down at Hogwarts.

Just saying there are better options than greaseball and dumblejerk. I personally wouldn't name a kid after my dead twin. It would be weird. But that's just me. Maybe a non twin sibling. Again, there were better options if that's what he was going for.

He could have had a James and a Sirius. And McGonagall would have cried.

Or Sirius, the guy who spent years in azkaban for trying to go after the guy who betrayed his parents. But also yes, a little originality would have sufficed over greaseball and dumblejerk 😂 miawallace I'm totally using your names now
