Lol the book's murderer had a guy wearing a coat and hat that made it hard to tell who he was/what gender he was. There was literally nothing about him crossdressing or being trans. Maybe you should actually research stuff before parroting the crowd.
I found this link that I think you might benefit from it. It shows that racism and transphobia are very much present in the Strike series.
Also, someone else pointed out in a comment on my previous post (the link to their profile) another terrible fact: JK Rowling’s pen name for her newer books, Robert Galbraith, is actually the name of a man who pioneered Gay Conversion Therapies.
Upon hearing about this, I immediately looked it up and found that it was true. I picked this article because I thought it explained beautifully just how harmful Gay Conversion Therapies really were. While the author of the article seemed to be willing to chalk it up to a very unfortunate coincidence, I will not for the following reasons:
Let’s say she didn’t know Robert Galbraith was a real person, it was still JK Rowling’s responsibility to check whether her desired pen name was a real person or not.
After she “found out” about who this monster was, her only reaction was to claim she didn’t know and then continue using the pen name as if nothing. This is disgusting.
Is this enough research for you?
Don’t be deaf 😔 there’s tons of sounds 😊 hear them ❤️
I think Arthur would be everyone’s favorite grandpa. His own grandchildren would probably cringe a bit, but the muggle kids would feel SO proud to have impressed such an adorable old man. I think they’d bring him some of their favorite, most mundane muggle objects just because Arthur would understand the hype and geek out about it together. It’s not what Arthur intended, but once he realized how good it made these kids feel, he just allowed everyone to call him grandpa. Everyone is his grandchild now.
Me, writing a Genderfluid Sirius Black, and a trans woman Marlene:
i don’t get people in this fandom that get mad or frustrated by other fans who for example think that sirius dressed both feminine and masculine because “it’s not realistic he lived in the 70s” BRUH he’s literally a fictional wizard and basically everything about him is fan made and you want to talk about what’s “realistic” ????
Can you please give us more Luna in the rewrite? I think her story is very fun, and considering Pandora and Xenophelius existed roughly in the Maurderer Era, it could be cool to see how them and the Potters (and Longbottoms) got along
I can definitely try to work that in! I know that Pandora and Xenophilius will show up in my Marauders fic (which is part of the rewrite).
One thing is, Luna’s role in the story depends on what Hari’s childhood looks like, which is something I am yet to decide. I ask about it here. Please let me know what you think!
And you got a new follower for you rewrite !!
Thank you! First chapter has been posted already, and the second should be published by Friday (hopefully before then).
I think Percy was a quite child - I love the older two, but I don't connect with their stories as much - because of the war. And nobody minded. Being quiet meant he could hide, being quiet meant he wasn't a liability. But then the war ended, and people saw him as weird.
Honestly, I agree. Being quiet isn’t a flaw or a liability. However, from what I understand, Percy was already thought of as weird since way before the war. There’s a lot of moments in the books where people mock him (mostly the twins). I think it wasn’t until after the war that people started trying to understand him.
This could have been so perfect🥲 Does anyone know what happened to the OP or if they have another account where I can find them?
So I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan. However whilst reading the series, one thing struck me above everything else - the way Hogwarts and the greater Wizarding World is seemingly set up just doesn’t make logical sense! Only one teacher per subject? With JKR telling us that there are approximately 1000 students at Hogwarts at any given time? 493 knuts per galleon? No Wizarding primary schools or higher education? So, me being the autistic Ravenclaw that I am, this took away from my enjoyment of the series. I needed it to make mathematical sense!
So I fixed it.
I have spend two years on and off coming up with a detailed overview of the school, from the number of total students and the male/female ratio, the number of students in every house, in every year, and how many could reasonably fit in one class at a time. Then I started on my class timetables. I had to appropriately plan every student’s schedule to make sure that no one had any overlapping classes, this ended up meaning manually writing down which subjects every student took and then sorting them alphabetically into classes based on the fact that I didn’t want more than 30 kids per class.
That still wasn’t enough though. I then had to figure out how we would get 1000 kids to school safely and efficiently, how we would sort them without making the entire school sit there for 3+ hours, how many professors would have to live at the school in order to provide adequate supervision for 1000 kids, a comprehensive list of school rules, an actual system of how many house points one would gain/lose…… I really dug myself into a hole and I couldn’t stop. In fact I’m still not done and I still can’t stop. There are SO many holes in this world.
Beyond this I have a whole alternate timeline that this whole thing is based on. Long story short, in my headcanon, the war ‘officially’ began with The Battle of the Department of Mysteries (which I have modernised to take place in June 2018) and ended in January 2020 with The Battle of Hogwarts, and then all students were required to repeat whatever year they were in during the war, because holy shit, the fact that they didn’t make any of them repeat a year after that mess is ridiculous. I’m surprised any of them even passed DADA with Umbridge!! Or that anyone accomplished anything the year Voldemort was literally in control of the school. Now I realise that modernising this story is probably an unpopular take - however I must stress how much I’m mainly doing this for myself so I can live out my Harry Potter fantasies in a relatable way lol. Feel free to ignore the modern times and just take my numbers to the original 90’s timeline if you’d rather do that than put yourself into the story like I do.
Also let it be known that I am in my 20’s and a mother of two… but my therapist knows about this and says it’s a HEALTY COPING MECHANISM…. soooooooo, guess I’m gonna just keep writing out this timeline and imaging what life would be like if I was 16 again woo! Anyway… Harry’s year would have to repeat Sixth Year. And believe me when I say the level of intricate detail in my alternate timeline is just wild. If you think I’m crazy for doing just this ‘Logical Hogwarts’ thing….. you don’t even want to see my alternate timeline. It’s wild. I’m way too invested in this. I’ve written over 30k words so far and I’m not stopping.
Also in my headcanon Hogwarts, everyone I like just lives because I’m doing this to escape my depression not to become even more depressed thank you very much! Snape, Lupin and Sirius Black all live and are put in a position where they have to run the DADA department together because, um, IMAGINE THE HILARITY!? Them hating each other, then eventually having to figure out how to work together? Reluctant forgiveness turned sincere apologies turned genuine friendship?? Also Remus and Sirius are so gay and Harry lives with them. Tonks has a different husband, they still both die and Teddy still exists. Harry is still Teddy’s godfather because of the genuine friendship he formed with Tonks. Dumbledore still dies. Originally he wasn’t going to but he just has to, I realised the story doesn’t work if he lives.
So, here we are. The second wave of Logical Hogwarts, re-vamped, rewritten in some parts, lots more added on! Two years and one more kid later! Feel free to take this for personal use or fanfiction or whatever, tag me or message me if you do I want to see your class timetable! Or if you want me to make you a class timetable I’ll do it!
(Disclaimer; I still look after my kids I promise. I just don’t sleep which is how I have time for this ;))
I’ve tried to make this as easy to read and navigate as I possibly can, so I’ve created a seperate page for every different aspect of this world. I didn’t like the look of the master post and scrolling for so long was overwhelming. So, here it goes…
Hogwarts student body (the numbers)
Hogwarts student body (the names) Hogwarts dormitories
Hogwarts prefects and head boy & girl Hogwarts staff & faculty Hogwarts School Rules (this was THE MOST fun to write) The Hogwarts Express (but it makes sense now)
The Sorting Ceremony (but it doesn’t suck now)
I’m coming back very briefly after being gone for a while to say that the marauders would’ve absolutely loved the Twilight series. It would be a whole thing.
Remus would try to focus on how toxic the whole thing is, but no one’s gonna listen to him because they’ll be busy fighting anyone who says they’re team Edward because “werewolves are clearly superior and if you don’t think so, you’re stupid and tasteless”.
Like nobody really cares about the series itself, but they’ll be damned if they let a person be a team Edward in peace.
Imagine Sirius Black singing Lover by T.S. to Remus Lupin.
