I hate the way Voldemort is portrayed in fanon as some retarded evil guy who casts crucio on all his followers and then duels with bloody 4th year curses. I hate fanon Voldemort in allmost all cases bar a few (Renegade Cause)

Mrs Weasley is someone I would never be able to put up with, if I met in real life, simply because she's the sort of person who looks down upon those who enjoy indepdence, and enjoys those who are submissive(*CoughHarryCough*). Simply said, she needs to be offed via baby-spoon.

 

You do realize that fiftee-year-olds are NOT ready to battle a dark lord. I don't care what kinda upbringing you have, you're not ready to do that shit.

At that age, you think you're mature enough to drink, smoke, go and do shit, but you're not.

True enough, Mrs Weasley is a tad annoying at times, but would you want YOUR underage children to go to fucking war?

 

I've been reading some Albus Severus Potter fics. Everyone one of them has him in Slytherin, he is bullied by everyone even the teachers especially by James Potter 2, everyone calls him Alpus Snivellus, His Weasley family hates him because he is in Slytherin, Ginny is Molly Weasley 2 she doesn't care about him and takes James side. Only Harry likes him and when he tries to stand up to him he is whipped by Ginny. So Albus Severus Potter vows to show everyone he is better than them secretly he is a magical prodigy. He becomes friends with Scorpius Malfoy. He gets on the quidditch team and he uses his fathers firebolt unlike James who has the latest model, he is top of his class. Whole through the year he is bullied and everyone says he is disappointment, James says he is a disgrace to the Potter house. But in the end he catches the snitch vs James and wins the quidditch cup and takes it up his arse from Scorpius Malfoy. So yeah.

 

Hmm, I've read quite a lot of Next-Gen stuff and I can honestly say I've never seen most of those.

 

I might have said it before but it's grown to the point where it is an instant close tab- fics where Harry is slightly polite to a goblin and they are so shocked at politeness that they are speechless and incredibly helpful. The last couple I have just closed the tab at the point of speechlessness.

Similarly, the goblins in charge of inheritance, inheriting huge amounts of money and especially Gringotts credit cards. Or trying to "bring the Wizarding World up to date" by implementing paper money. Its Galleons, Sickles and Knuts or nothing!

You know what I'd like to see? A fic where for Wizards the very idea of interest is taboo. Where paper money is a contract of debt, and between Wizards there is a magical limitation that to trade any debts, you need three people together in person- the owner of the debt, the person owing the debt, and the one buying the debt. Just like the Unbreakable Vow needs three people, the one making the vow, the one receiving, and the witness. (I also hate fics where it is possible for someone to vow on their magic and be instantly believed)

With this, theres no such thing as Gringotts paper money or credit cards, and one reason Magicals look down on Muggles is that they trade with debts instead of things with value.

It adds character to the world, makes Gringotts different to current day banks, integrates well with the historical aspect of Judaism, Christianity and Islam all completely forbidding interest on debts and gives a reason for fics to stay in the Wizarding world and not go into the Muggle world for financial parts of the story.

 

I've always seen Gringotts as a corporation with the bank being just one of its businesses. I mean we already know that they have curse breakers so it's not that big a stretch of the imagination to think about them being involved in other stuff.

Pet Peeve: I'm over will readings at Gringotts.

 

Harry and/or Hermione bitching about the injustice of letting purebloods practice magic during the summer while it's forbidden to muggleborn.

I know that it is a bit of a fanon construct, but there are some threads in canon that support this (Fred and George's experiments, crabbe's fiendfyre, malfoy's snake trick etc.). But even if we take it at face value and it is only muggleborn/raised that are forbidden from practicing magic in the summer it makes perfect sense. Muggleborn don't have anyone to fix their fuckups while wizarding households do.

I know this has probably been mentioned before, but I ran into to two fics back to back where this is used as the definitive proof that the Wizarding world is so prejudiced that they all deserve to die.

 

Allegedly, wizarding parents are supposed to enforce the no-magic-out-of-school rule while the Ministry handles Muggleborn or raised wizards.

Lawl.

 

That also kinda makes sense though. Muggles lack the knowledge to evaluate what is safe and what is not when it comes to magic, so the government has to step in and ensure safety.

 

They're kids and they've discovered magic and all its wonders until they go back home and have to deal with the mundane muggle world and also acting like your normal when infact you're special. Am surprised a lot of the teenage muggleborns actually suppress the desire to show off.

 

They don't, HP is a fairy story anything that wasn't immediately essential to it wasn't considered.

 

... Or maybe they'd rather stay enrolled at Hogwarts than show off their sweet new levitating charm to their friends?

 

Think about it this way, would your average teenager who can do magic really sit there and take shit from someone like Dudley? When they know that there are dozens of ways he can put the fear of god into them

 

If they knew that there was no way they could even get off a cleaning charm without a hard slap to the face or worse? Hell yeah they would.

 

It kind of makes sense, but are wizards really enforcing that rule at home during the summer?

I'd say it's probably unlikely given the number of ways kids have to sneak off and do exactly what it is they aren't supposed to, especially in the magical world. That, and they only have their parents to deal with, not some ridiculous Trace that makes sure no muggleborn wizard ever gets to have magical fun outside Hogwarts, since there's some Ministry system that detects every single case of muggleborn wizardry because they're the only wizards in their area (with a penalty of expulsion, which equates to Hagrid before O.W.L.s).

It's such a shitty double-standard that they don't even tell kids that's the case because there'd be no excuse for putting muggleborns at such a disadvantage.

 

I see no problems with double standards that oppress muggleborns.

 

Always wondered what Expulsion would do, sure they could snap your wand, but you could just get another one if you wanted to.

 

I imagine getting expelled would make it pretty hard to find a good job in the Wizarding World. It always seemed to me like Hagrid lucked out with his position as groundskeeper.

 

The fact that snapping someone's wand is a very serious punishment suggests that simply buying another one is not as simple as it sounds. No reason for this is given in the story, but it's not terribly hard to think of some.

 

I agree. I think it was JKR's idea to have a punishment as hard as exile was for the ancient greeks. But in a fairy tale, it's difficult to believe; especially in these modern days. You still have your magic, you know? And if you have some level of intelligence, you will find a way to survive.

Expulsion from first year to fifth equals wand snapping, but if you sat your OWLs you keep the wand.
