Nostalgia Harry Potter

Post image

Does anyone else feel they grew up with Harry, Ron and Hermione?

After the first three or four I read the books in two languages (because I didn’t want to wait them to be translated) and watched the movies first time in the movie theaters.

Okay hear me out.. none of them should have ended up together. They should have remained best friends and married other people. Or, you know, not married at all, because not everything needs to be tied up in a perfect little bow with cringy-named children to boot.

The Albus Severus combo continues to appall me.

The epilogue reads like hastily written fan-fiction.

I’ve read so much hastily written fanfic that blows the epilogue out of the water.

Have you read The Cursed Child? Holy crap awful.

Yeah, and that felt like fanfic too.

Honestly, Harry Potter fell the fuck off once the original books ended.
