Malfoy: Oh please! You wouldn't hurt a fly.

Harry: You're right! Because a fly is an innocent creature that never knowingly did anything to anybody.

Harry: You, however, I would maim.

I love reading Slytherin harry fics

I can't remember which fic has the one snake familiar that is white.

I love good boy Harry, I do, but I hate it when people write him to be this absolute saint, who would never use any dark magic, or be vicious when need be.

He literally used Crucio on Bellatrix (albeit, it didn’t really work), and then he used it again, on somebody because they spat on McGonagall (and it did work that time).

He used Imperio on multiple people.

He strangled a guy.

And this all happened in canon.

can we talk about how harry james potter appreciates the finer things in life? if tom riddle is a magpie, harry potter is a niffler.

an hour into wee harry’s freedom from the dursleys’ clutches, his newfound riches barely warm in his pockets, and he’s decided on a solid gold cauldron

and what are all his riches good for if not treating himself and his new, first ever friend to every kind of sweet on the trolley?

third year, he ponders the wisdom of splashing out on a firebolt and solid gold gobstones, but very admirably chooses to be a responsible spender

harry spots shiny gleaming metal, and he makes a beeline for it. then he proceeds to shell out thirty galleons without blinking an eye because niffler he may be, he also has a heart of gold

it’s no wonder he never misses a tiny, fluttering gold sphere zooming through the air

people saying that harry is oblivious to the feelings of others is wild to me considering the fact that he and hedwig got into tiny couple’s arguments over her mood 

harry is sort of the sirius of the golden era though isn’t he. in my head at least. like his home life is shitty, he’s loyal to a fault, he gets basically taken in by his best mate’s parents but does go his own way. he inherits a good amount of gold from his decent family members (his parents and sirius). is spat on by society & the government over something that isn’t even his fault. bit of a bitch. a cheeky little fucker. has light eyes and dark hair. would probably kill for his codependent buds if absolutely necessary. probably also has the gal (and self-imposed guilt) to stay in azkaban for 12 years before escaping on willpower alone.

Do you have a favorite little quirk of Harrys or trait that he has?

Thank you so much for asking, I have several.

1. His cavity-inducing sweet tooth is something that can be tracked throughout the series, and it's something that I find overwhelmingly endearing ( if only because it's the one part of childhood he does cling to no matter what ). Harry's favorite food is treacle tart, unrivaled in its use of sugar.

2. While Harry is mostly touch adverse, conflating excessive touch with 'fuss' which he is known to hate. However, if he sees even a centimeter between Ron and Hermione you know he is going to wedge himself between it and make himself comfortable there. He does this so often and yet it makes my heart squeeze every time.

3. Owls in particular are treated for their utility within the story. Harry is often the only person that goes to visit his owl at the owlery, and he makes a habit of speaking conversationally to her in a way that we don't see anyone else ( save for Albus and Fawkes who we will lump in owl category for comparison's sake ). Hedwig is -- as he often points out -- his first friend and so he treats her as a friend first.

In general, if Harry sees an animal he's probably going to speak to it and there's also a chance he's going to pet it. I think that's neat.

Harry Potter growing up and becoming more confident and sassing the fuck out of adults that have abused their authority over him in the past gives me strength like the entire conversation he has with Vernon Dursely at the beginning of DH is incredible I mean:

“I’ve changed my mind,” he said. “What a surprise,” said Harry.

“Are you out of your mind?” demanded Harry. “A plot to get this house? Are you actually as stupid as you look?”

“Just in case you’ve forgotten,” said Harry, “I’ve already got a house my godfather left me one. So why would I want this one? All the happy memories?”

Uncle Vernon got dragged
