Also my face, with a little Chrissy Teigan grimace thrown in there.

This thread is amazing, and I'm sad it took me so long to find it. But I have a question (with no snark) as someone who has never read any kind of fan fiction, how does something not written by the author give one closure? Is it because it ends in a better way? Or because it's written by fans in ways they believe is better/more accurate then what actually happened? I'm genuinely curious, it's just something I've never understood. If this is out of line, I'm sorry.

Or because it's written by fans in ways they believe is better/more accurate then what actually happened? I'm genuinely curious, it's just something I've never understood. If this is out of line, I'm sorry. It's not out of line! I think it's a good question. For me, closure by means of fan fiction looks like the author saving Fred Weasley (because he's a part of one of my ships), a character exploration (a la Draco malfoy redemption arcs) or plot expansion (marauders era, "extra" scenes, etc). This applies to all fic I read, not just Harry Potter. Part of me agrees with you that I think some fic writers tell it better than what actually happened. Some of the questions I have as a fan can be answered by fanfic, like what happens to Bucky Barnes after CA:Civil War? I know none of it is canon but personally I truly enjoy the creativity and cleverness I see in many (not all) fanfiction writers. I also read it because I love the story and want to see more of it, not just for closure.

What I want to know is if Hagrid was cleared for the monster thing and got his wand back and was able to finish his schooling. Yes he did and no one can convince me otherwise!

H and I were discussing the other schools the other day, and we got to arguing about how Rowling parsed up places. Like Africa has 1 school. 1! Largest continent and there's only one school, where Europe has at least 3. Plus Russia has one, which is technically in Asia, but most of the Russian population lives on the European side, so it's like another European school.
I know there are smaller schools that aren't recognized, but come on. There should be more than one school for Africa.
I didn't know where else to put this.

That line in the previews bugs the shit out of me. Most powerful wizard in Britain or a magizoologist. Which would you send? More proof that Dumbledore is chickenshit. (Also, dear god, why didn't they dye Jude Law's hair red? Dumbledore is a redhead. It's known)

I just now realized my last two posts were supposed to go in the meme thread. This is what happens when I don’t sleep enough.
Anyway, speaking of Harry Potter, I think I would like to see a movie or book about McGonagalls life. I read the stuff on pottermore but I want more.

I mean I guarantee there is a well written amazing fanfic out there about McGonagall. I’m sure there is. I am still having trouble committing to fanfic. I remember when I used to read it and I got so absorbed in it. I just don’t have the time to dedicate to it like I want to. I have read more sailor moon fanfic than I care to admit.
