So, how did Harry manage to keep his grades up, pass his exams and manage to remain at Hogwarts for so long when all he does is messing around at Hogwarts?

White privilege

this... hogwarts is a pigpen for wh*tes... smdh

>go to a literal magic school where they teach you the coolest magic shit
>spend your time fucking around and having """adventures""" instead of learning to be the coolest wiznigga around
Harry was terminally retarded

It doesn't take that much effort just to pass, especially when you're everyone's golden boy who can get some free points here and there when you need to

he was talented and coasted by, without excelling.

like lots of smart but lazy kids do irl.

This is exactly what bothered me about the movies. I would be studying like a motherfucker to be the best wizard I could be. Fuck all that drama.

But what about Ron Weasley?

>tfw dumb with smart friends

because JK Rowling is a hack

Why are you even trying to find logic in a childrens series bassd off of one the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises? Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

This. If I got to learn magic I would be studying my ass off. You can argue that the other kids don't want to study because magic is part of their daily lives at home but Harry had 11 shitty Muggle years.

In the first book this was actually the case because it's mentioned he read some of the textbooks before leaving for school and they were all interesting, but in the last two books Rowling is like
>only Hermione read textbooks because she was weird that way

already bored with spamming threads about game of thrones, numale?

Harry, like his father, was arrogant and lazy and weak

Prisoner of Azkaban's Emma Watson was her absolute peak in hotness. Whoever disagrees is a retarded faggot.

Advancing at hogwarts is easy when the chairman has a boner for your boipusy
>Well done everyone, HOWEVER

that was some top-tier petty behavior from the fucking headmaster of the school himself

Dumbledore was a piece of shit for backing up Gryffindor. Even smiling at Harry as he fucks over Slytherin

Can't argue with that. She really leveled up her hotness in the second movie though. I remember watching the movie in the theater for the first time with my mom and she was like "was Hermione that cute in the first movie?"

>doesn't realize the adventure is the lesson
>probably think people go to Uni to study

LOL

When you think about it there should be a massive disparity between the Wizardborn and Muggleborn students; for the former it's just school, for the latter it's an amazing world they never knew existed absolutely packed with miracles where they have godlike powers that can be enhanced exponentially by following a boarding school curriculum. They would tear the
Wizardborn to shreds.

When did she peak?

How do Asian kids manage to get good grades while studying karate, piano, violin, 2 languages, kumon on the side, and still manage to have fun? You forget just how much free time you had in school, trust me, go back and you'd laugh at how short the days are and how low the workload is.

>They would tear the Wizardborn to shreds
Maybe that's what the Death Eaters really feared; Mudbloods becoming better wizards than them because of more motivation.

Top 4 are great, bottom 4 are pig disgusting. Top row second from left is probably the best.

...

Everything becomes mundane as you get used to it. Take a guy from the 19th century and he'd say that about our technology, but we get bored reading about it.

So did he become an Auror just because he finished Voldy off. Didn't all three technically drop out of their last year.

fucking pedos

Where did Harry masturbate? He was sleeping next to Ron and other students

He was based. Get cucked slythercucks

Hermione went back. Harry and Ron became Aurors because of some bullshit rule that allowed people who fought Voldemort to go right into training even without a 7th year of school.

Canon says Hermione went back and did her seventh year. The whole school must have fucking worshiped her.

The bathroom with Moaning Myrtle

Why do you think he learned the Muffliato charm?

That's what the bed curtains are for

In the bathroom getting off to the moaning of jenny

Classic example of experience beating a degree any day
>Yes well you may have defeated the Dark Lord in single combat, but you only got an "Exceeds Expectations" on your O.W.L exam
>We'll let you know

Obviously they were all masturbating and kept quiet about it. Mutual respect you know.

>The whole school must have fucking worshiped her

Why? Because she was the sidekick of Wizard Jesus?

He used to cum on Ron's face while he was asleep. JKR confirmed this in an interview.

Based on the amount of studying, Hermione should've been the only one graduating

Harry was the son of two of the most intelligent students Hogwarts ever had, if anything he should have been better at school stuff.

Why are you still posting the dullest copypasta in the history of copypastas. Seriously each thread about the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains is now indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy rhetoric, the pasta’s only consistency has been its lack of humor and ineffective use of repetition, all to make trolling unfunny, to make shitposting seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when anons vetoed the idea of using a different image each time: they made sure the pasta would never be remixed or worked upon? just ridiculously profitable cross-thread pandering for (You)s. The Harry Potter copypasta might be anti-kino (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-Banepost in its refusal of innovation, applicability and funniness. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>b-but it's board culture though

"No!"

The writing is dreadful; the pasta is terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time it is posted, the user merely changes the first sentence. I began marking on the back of an envelope every time this was the only attempt made to contextualize it to the topic of the thread. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Sup Forums's mind is so governed by cliches and stale memes that it has no other style of shitposting. Later I read a lavish, loving review of the Harry Potter copypasta by a Redditor. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these anons are shitposting about Harry Potter on Sup Forums, then when they get older they will go on to make memes on Reddit. And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you use the "Harry Potter" copypasta you are, in fact, being trained to make Reddit memes.

Why not ask her on twitter?

Well, she was traveling around with him with the entire wizarding community hunting them, she and the other two broke into Gringotts and got away with it, and I imagine Harry told everyone about the Horcruxes.

No he was super lucky in that one. He was incompetent and knew only 3 pathetic spells. If he faced any other competent bad guy he'd be toast

Hi Severus! who let you out of the cuckshed?

>implying you need to study much at all in school to get good grades in public school

This isn't university, this is middleschool/highschool. Show up, pay attention, do your homework. Congrats you passed.

At that one Owl place where he met Cho

Technically Harry didn't even have to do anything to beat Voldy. He let himself die, and then found out that the Elder Wand was his so it wasn't even a real fight. Apparently beating Voldy is as easy as disarming Draco

What a cutie :)

so what would your reaction be if Rowling disclosed that Hermione was a trans boy the entire time? Basically a Hismione.

How much would that alter your view of the entire franchise?

Not to mention that, since Voldemort had cursed the Defense Against the Dark Arts teaching position, Hogwarts students hadn't been getting a good education in the field. The only teachers Harry had worth a damn were Lupin and a Death Eater in disguise. That's the reason everyone pressured him into starting the DA in the first place.

So Harry and probably knew more about fighting dark wizards that anyone else who had attended Hogwarts in years.

>if anything he should have been better at school stuff
He was actually a great student, he was one of the 12 students who advanced to NEWT Potions

>legendary criminals who murdered entire families and skilled duelists
>get beaten by a kid who learned a bunch of spells for the Triwiard Tournament

That would mean that the stairs wouldn't let her go to the girls' dormitories

Maybe the stairs are not as bigoted as you are

Perhaps it's because Rowling's magic world has no place for the numinous. It is written for people whose imaginative lives are confined to TV cartoons, and the exaggerated (more exciting, not threatening) mirror-worlds of soaps, reality TV and celebrity gossip. Its values, and everything in it, are, as Gatsby said of his own world when the light had gone out of his dream, ''only personal.'' Nobody is trying to save or destroy anything beyond Harry Potter and his friends and family.

Anime logic, not to mention those fags partaking in that competition in the fourth film didn't have to study all year

Because JK is a libtard quack who sells shit stories to numales.

Harry was a closet homo. That's why he married the disgusting pig Ginny at the end, her only purpose was to be his beard.

That's the thing though, bring a Victorian to our time and I'm convinced there's a good chance that within a decade he'd be a master programmer just because he'd be so amazed by computers.

My reaction would be to fap to the huge influx of Hermione trap porn it would cause

They were made by medieval wizards so they definitely were

>Hermione as anything but how JK saw herself as a child

She'd be the last to be retconned trans

Welp she already said that she should have ended up with Harry which im cool with

but then she said that Hermione is black which im on the fence about

She was a fucking babe in the books to be fair. Tall, leggy, drop dead gorgeous. Miscast as heck.

Avatar? Fucking Avatar? That's not even the best James Cameron movie!

Then why did he get so hard every time he looked at Cho?

>she said that Hermione is black
No she didn't. She said Hermione's race was never specified so it's no big deal for there to be a black hermione in some irrelevant musical.

>That's why he married the disgusting pig Ginny at the end
No it's because the series was poorly written and extremely cliche. This was done to appease critics of the series

do you think emma had a little bush going, or was she still bald down there?

>Miscast as heck.
They cast her when she was 10, nobody can predict how bong puberty is going to go

>expecting good writing from the biggest hack in existence

legit looks like ron in a wig

>it's a random anons prove themselves to be better worldbuilders than rowling episode

love this rerun!

Aging should be illegal

Absolute upper-class beauty. The only difference between Emma and Hermione is that Hermione is from a middle-class family.

t. Eliezer Yudkowsky

She looks breedable in every pic apart from the white/black top one.

Indeed

indeed...

there's totally nothing creepy about a middle-aged woman musing publicly about high school masturbation sessions

>he already said that she should have ended up with Harry which im cool with
No she didn't. She said that she might have put Ron and Hermoine together as wish fullfillment, so the pairing might not have happened for the right literary reason (in her mind). She never said that Hermoine should have been with Harry. In the books, it would have made absolutely no sense, since they have no chemistry and didn't even hang out very much without Ron around.

Someone already addressed your other point.

PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS REAL

if your a fucking wizard, why go to some fag school who gives a shit about grades, just look up the spells in a book or something

So why wasn't Hermione the most sought after girl is school? Did other houses also dislike "mud bloods" or did they just find her annoying/teachers pet?

or was it just excellent casting of Emma Watson

Because if you want a respectable position, you have to be able to show you can follow the rules, know all the basics, and can excel and standardized testing.

Harry should have ended up with her, if not Hermione.

JK Rowling actually admitted to Emma Watson being miscast as Hermione. Since Hermione was supposed to be this geeky ''ugly duckling'' girl; but after talking to her, she decided to let her have the part anyway.

>be at institution that is filled with experts at their respective fields
>spend all time getting wasted and getting STDs
"But its about the experience bruh! I learned about LIFE"

More like how did he keep his grades up with a rod in his trousers, right guys? At a coed school with dormitories on sight, how was there not a little "hey-nanny-nanny" going on? How did he not knock her up as soon as she started bleeding?

>wanting to fuck the super annoying, nosy, know-it-all

To be fair, by the time she started growing out of it, she was heavily desired by the men of the school. Pic related was a tall, handsome, popular guy who wanted to fuck her brains out.

Fuck why did I open this

>not Luna

Their scenes together were the best part of the second half of the series

kill yourself

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODS

Eh, there's no universe where this would end up looking good when older.

Better than an overweight tumblr roastie

Cho was a pretty huge cunt.

She threw a tantrum in the middle of a crowded coffee shop just because she thought that Harry wanted to fuck Hermione.

>Implying you don't want left on your lap more
