For me HP is about how you always ended up with the red head in the end.

Redpilled by a fucking fantasy novel

Don't forget it taught us to be resistant to authoritarianism which is why kids/teens who read Harry Potter are less likely to vote Trump.

And sometimes the person you always thought was your worst enemy, turns out to have been protecting you the whole time.

Harry Potter just taught me that no matter how badass you are, when you come back to school the next year everyone will treat you like shit

And to never question why a guy named Peter is sleeping with your friend Ron.

What I've learned is death of a fictional owl can make even a grown redneck badass weep
SgtEziosRequiem
Tbh I cared more about that owl than Harry at some points. That owl never asked for this. She never wanted to be Harry's pet.

My favorite part about these books is how imperfect the hero's are, not just Harry but also dumbledore
lazerhosen
What did the hero or heroes possess that was imperfect?
TheMadArtificer
Both Harry and Dumbledore are profoundly flawed characters. Harry has anger, jealousy, and fear. Dumbledore can be arrogant and prideful 1/2
Their mistakes cost many lives. Still, they are both fundamentally good people, and they are still heroes. All HP heroes are human & flawed.
Ralpheroo
what about ron and hermione?
ThisBearSleeps
I reread the books once every 4-6 months, and each time something different strikes me. I just finished GoF yesterday, and for the first
Time, I realised what a great character Ron is. He's always seen as comic relief and Harry's sidekick, but GoF talked about his issues with
Being poor and constantly being in other people's shadows. He's so underrated. Harry would never have managed with Ron as his best friend
cujari
Ron gets jealous, not bookish, and mostly average but super loyal and brave. Hermione is intelligent and clever but narrow minded
how is hermione narrow minded?
How she reacts to trelawny and luna. She can also be accidentally cold when trying to be reasonable (like when lav's bunny died)

Or at least watch all the movies and read one book

Doesn't matter ^^ whoever reads one will read every other one :)

Professor Umbridge vs. some combination of Gilderoy Lockhart and Professor Slughorn. I do not find this choice particularly difficult.
LetsDeviledEggHisCar
I would say more a combo of Gilderoy Lockhart and Gellert Grindelwald
hearthstoneaccount3
Umbridge for sure. People always forget at just how awful gilderoy was
PaintedSlate
Lockhart is pretty good here. Why add Slughorn? Umbridge is probably the best match available, just more exaggerated than Lockhart.
Because Trump more finds a network of people to hire from instead of just stealing credit for other people's work. He does actually do stuff
1. Okay, yeah, I was taking Lockhart's version of getting stuff done, but Slughorn does add the notion of building a network of insiders.
3. ...Voldemort, because both are aggressive against enemies/internal disagreement, but they immediately reward those who join in.
2. He doesn't really use Slughorn's motivation or methods, but I agree with that point. That said, his version of network better follows...

I didn't need to have that image they suggested in my head for the rest of my natural life. I really didn't.
The one that makes no sense because when did that pregnancy happen and how did NOBODY notice?
More like their old, wrinkly legs intwined in the horizontal tango under Lucius Malfoy's sheets. *SHUDDER*
