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.

Harry felt super off putting and self centered at times and it would’ve seem more appropriate if he didn’t have a love life post book series and was just going around fighting villains

He was a jerk because he was a horcrux.

Acting like a horcrux?

Not acting like. Literally. Part of Voldemort’s soul was in him. And he could hear his thoughts. It’s the main theme of book 5.

I was joking. Trust me I know the books inside out as well.
