i hope harry took full advantage of being able 2 say he literally died and came back 2 life to save the wizarding world like *has to queue for ten minutes outside the ministry entrance to get into work* ‘i did not die for this’ *hermione is nagging him for some paper work* ‘i already literally died for the wizarding world hermione is that not enough’ *draco makes a smug comment in the corridor* ‘shut up malfoy i died for your sins’
harry james potter, saviour of the wizarding world:
think about it: petunia and vernon /hated/ james potter, made up stories about him “probably being unemployed” and they seemed to thoroughly dislike him for more than just the magic. how much d'you wanna bet me that their prejudice may have been on the racist side? they treated harry pretty awfully, even considering his magic. they hated that he looked like james as well.
plus, harry has “great skin” but no specified skin colour or tone or anything!
draw and write about east asian harry, south asian harry, black harry. draw harry potter in every single race there is.
poc!potter is not really a racebend bc it’s all within canon
like, aunt marge has no idea about magic or anything and she clearly hates harry, and seems to be able to make generalisations about ‘harry’s lot’ despite never having met his parents and not knowing anything about them.
it would make more sense as to why people keep commenting on him having his mother’s eyes and dark skin and green eyes are a rarer combination than light skin and green eyes.
harry’s grandad made the family rich by inventing a potion that straighten’s hair, the one hermione uses in book 4, that’s a product way more likely to be used by poc, especially black poc like hermione, and so is more likely to come from a poc who noticed the demand in the market as it was relevant to them,
it would explain why no muggle ever investigated harry, why his teachers and other adults were content to let him be bullied and abused, because the area where he grew up is clearly very right wing, (voted tory/ bnp likes the EDL kind of place) so a mixed race kid is way more likely to be ignored.
it also add’s an extra dimension to Harry’s love for the wizarding world, the way he overlooks a lot of it’s flaws, because not only is it the first place he is loved but it’s also the first place he doesn’t have to deal with racism (at first at least)
She had made her g’s the same way he did: he searched through the letter for every one of them, and each felt like a friendly little wave glimpsed from behind a veil. The letter was an incredible treasure, proof that Lily Potter had lived, really lived, that her warm hand had once moved across this parchment, tracing ink into these letters, these words, words about him, Harry, her son.
I thought for Harry’s birthday I’d draw a few of my favourite parts from the start of the Goblet of Fire around when his birthday is - I really loved the letter that Mrs. Weasley sent to the Dursleys, she must have put in so much effort to get it mailed! I also really loved how Harry was sent 5 huge cakes and a load of snacks from his friends when he told them about not being fed properly - I really hope the sizing turns out ok, please full view for a closer look!!
harry potter was such a pure child like he went to a ghosts death day party, he talked to myrtle bc she was lonely, he set a snake free bc it was unhappy, he genuinely was friends with luna even thought people thought she was weird, he attended aragog’s funeral, he met some lanky kid on the train and his immediate reaction was to buy the whole fucking trolly to share with him, and then when they got to hogwarts and malfoy was talkin shit about this kid he met a few hours ago he just went oh no u didnt ima protect this one
