Harry Potter Rewrite: Religion.
The original Harry Potter series was heavily influenced by the Christian religion. I never thought it made much sense, so I decided to make it so that the majority (especially purebloods and half-bloods) practice paganism. They’ll have their own traditions and festivals and holidays.
There will be other students who don’t practice paganism, but that enjoy some of their holidays. So far, some of the students (in the Marauders’ Era, since that’s what I’m working on at the moment) who aren’t Pagans are:
1. James Potter—Hinduism
2. Peter Pettigrew—Atheist
3. Severus Snape—Atheist, but has Catholic leanings due to his muggle father
4. Lily Evans—Atheist, family is Catholic
Of course, other religions such as Judaism, Islam, and many more, will be included. I’m just currently doing my research on these religions so that I can portray them well. Any help or suggestion is welcomed.
Any thoughts?
Have a new blog dedicated to my own mythical creatures that I have invented for the sake of enriching the worldbuilding in my HP rewrite. Please show some love 💕
Verosui.
[ veros: “genuine” (Greek); sui: “self” (Latin). ]
OFFICIAL NAME. Verosui
ALSO KNOWN AS. The Holy Messenger OR The Amender
SIZE. 14.5 in
DIET. They eat berries, but they also enjoy eating arthropods and small invertebrates such as spiders, scorpions, centipedes and such.
ABOUT THEM. There used to be an ancient ceremony where whenever someone announced that they were born in the wrong body, they would contact the Goddess via a song so that She would send her beloved pet, the Verosui, to right her wrong. The Amender would arrive a week after the song, to perform its magic. During this week, the village or family would gather around in prayer so that the Amender will show its holy compassion as a sign of compassion towards the sufferer.
Once the Amender arrives, they shall see if a person’s true self would be what they claim. If they deem it necessary, they shall begin the performance of sex reassignment, which really involves powerful magic being used while they fly in circles around their target. It is said that the experience is a mixture of thrilling and painful, so it would really depend on who the person is.
Unfortunately, this ceremony was banned in 1903 by the Minister of Magic at the time — K. Rowl. Ever since then, the wixes were forced to forget about this ceremony since they would be persecuted if they attempted to relieve a sufferer’s pain. Sufferers were soon scorned and mocked if they came out.

wait i don't understand - https://thesoftrainbows.tumblr.com/post/669930297514704896/you-really-do-be-putting-yourself-in-the-same
I’d be more than happy to explain, but can you specify what it is that you don’t understand?
Am I throwing whatever JKRoach wrote about werewolves out the window for the sake of my fic? Yes, yes I am.
Not the same anon but honestly feminists have the right to focus their movement on the rights of female people, it’s literally in the name. Trans activism is for trans people. A liberation movement needs to stay focused, or nothing will be accomplished.
That’s true. However, while the trans activism is made for all different genders within the community, these radfems are excluding a group of women simply because there was a glitch in nature for them.
I really don’t think including trans women is going to derail our purpose as feminists or anything of the sort. In fact, we seem to be doing quite fine with our fellow cis and trans women. A lot of our struggles as vagina-havers are different depending on our race, which country we are in, whether we’re disabled or not, and whether we even identify as women.
Wouldn’t it be absolutely beautiful to be one united front instead of pitting ourselves against other groups of women just because they’re different?
Beta-Readers Needed!
Before I publish the first few chapters of my rewrite series, I’m looking for at least five beta readers who’ll check my work for any inconsistencies, typos, and any other errors that might be found.
ੈ✩‧₊˚ If you are interested, you can message me so that I can ask you a couple of questions. If I feel that you may work well with me, I’ll ask for your email.
ੈ✩‧₊˚ If you are not interested, but know someone that might be, then you can either send them this post or tell me about them so that I can ask them myself. I’ll be asking a couple of simple questions and, if I feel we’d work well, then I’ll ask for their emails.
ੈ✩‧₊˚ REMEMBER! This part of the rewrite is centered around the Marauders & Co. (the romance is Wolfstar-focused, although romance isn’t the main theme). There’s going to be a lot of diversity in terms of race, gender, and disabilities. Also, Snape is going to be a complex, humanized character.
ੈ✩‧₊˚ If I can find someone who is Indian, Japanese, French, and/or Welsh to call me out in case I make any mistakes (I’ve been studying these cultures for years whenever I can, but I’m not perfect) that would be amazing.
ੈ✩‧₊˚ Finally, any and all Beta-Readers I end up picking will be credited each chapter I post.
Someone‘s preferred name is not debatable.
if someone asks you to call them a name
you call them by that fucking name
this is NOT debatable.
What made you guys first read Harry Potter?
I first read it because a girl I liked was a fan and I wanted to impress her 🙃 didn’t work, but now I’m stuck in this fandom heh
I’m gonna be really honest and say I don’t remember following you, but I’m also a masochist and I don’t want to unfollow.
1. James Potter
Steps:
Get a white sheet
Cut eyes and a mouth into it
Put it over your head
It should turn out a little bit like this:
Failing that, you could also buy a skeleton costume and wear that. You will still look like James Potter!
Also, probably the best thing about this costume, it will also work if you want to be one of the following characters:
Remus Lupin
Sirius Black
Regulus Black
Lily Evans
Cedric Diggory
Nymphadora Tonks
Marlene McKinnon
Dorcas Meadowes
Fred Weasley
Colin Creevey
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?
