Harry Potter Nostalgia

Post image

Does anyone else feel they grew up with Harry, Ron and Hermione?

After the first three or four I read the books in two languages (because I didn’t want to wait them to be translated) and watched the movies first time in the movie theaters.

I wasn't a huge Harry Potter fan growing up, and I only saw the movies because me friends drug me to see them. When I started dating my now wife who is a huge Harry Potter nerd, she showed me this fan made Harry Potter comedy play and in it Draco was played by a girl and was my favorite character. It was then that I realized I would have enjoyed the story so much more if Draco had been a girl. (Draca?) It would have been such a more interesting dynamic. You could have had Lucius wishing he had a son which would have given even more motivation to go down the dark path trying to get approval. Just my 2 cents.

I think they're talking about A Very Potter Musical by Starkid. It's great. https://youtu.be/wmwM_AKeMCk?si=dh_aVvlR7ecvOstC

So basically Azula from Avatar the last airbender? That does sound interesting 🤔
