I have to say, in my own blog, sometimes I think fans don't really like Harry (even if they ship him and create content with him), so they basically reinvent his entire character.
Some takes are just so doctored it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
For example, Tomarry. If you're looking for a young man who worships the ground LV walks in, despises Dumbledore, despises the corruption of muggle born (despite being an half-blood), is fascinated by purebloods' gold, etc...
why do you not ship LV with one of his death eater?
Also the tendency to exaggerate Harry's less than perfect traits is frankly boring. Ohhh, Harry crucrioed Bellatrix after she killed Sirius! This shows that Harry is B A D and loves using unforgivables!!
No, it shows that Harry is human, he has capacity for evil like everyone, he just decides not to use it, as exemplified by him never using an unforgivable in DH.
While I admit I don't think Harry is the most intriguing character of HP, I think he's interesting and very impressive on his own. I adore his compassion for Albus, Severus, and even Tom.
I adore his quiet nobility and full metal moral compass.
😂
6'6" Voldemort pissing a 5'6" harry off simply because of all the looming he does, so harry ends up sitting on Ron's shoulders everytime he is in the presence of the dark lord. it always takes an awkward amount of time to get up there but it's worth it to be taller than the guy and prevent him from looming so much
THIS IS SO FRICKING AMAZING
Lord Voldemort takes good care of his...😄💦
By the way, I love that tropes Voldemort appears at the Privet Drive. It feels like something surreal invades the normal life🥰
Mafia AU:
For many years now, the Order of the Phoenix has been fighting against the Death Eaters mafia clan, which established a dictatorship throughout almost all of Great Britain. Led by the ruthless Tom Riddle, they turned the country into a nightmare where fear and violence became the norm. Finally, after many years, Harry got the chance to end this tyranny.
On a cold autumn night, Harry took up a position on the roof of a nearby building, his trusty sniper rifle in his hands. The hands did not tremble, and the mind was extremely clear. One shot and the problem will be over.
He waited patiently, watching through the windows of the skyscraper. And then, finally, he saw Riddle - a tall, thin man. Harry aimed his gun at his head, preparing to take the fatal shot.
But something went wrong. The man on the other side looked straight at him, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips. Harry realized it was a trap.
Riddle knew.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
Ah yes, definitely unhealthy possessiveness. Especially for precious or shiny trinkets? like a magpie?
So... guess what i thought?
Blame Dumbledore. He started this Magpie Tom things.
Out of context, it looks very bad, doesn't it?
