Something I Still Don’t Get Is How The Entire Wizarding World Knew To Identify Harry By His Scar. It

Something I still don’t get is how the entire wizarding world knew to identify Harry by his scar. It seems a little counterproductive to have a distinctive mark of a person supposedly kept from the wizarding world be common knowledge.

Nobody should even suspect there would be a mark - Avada Kedavra famously leaves no trace. And since Harry’s location is a guarded secret, chances are slim that some wizard/witch recognizes him on the streets (because he looks like James maybe), sees the scar, and promptly spreads the word. So that is probably not how the scar gained it’s notoriety.

That leaves the magical people who saw him on November first and second-Hagrid, McGonagall, and Dumbledore. Sirius might have gotten close enough to spot the wound, but Hagrid was the one to get him out, so Sirius likely didn’t know about the scar. He is also out as the one having spread the word because, well, Azkaban.

Hagrid and McGonagall are unlikely to be questioned directly about the events of Halloween or Harry Potter and both heed Dumbledore’s orders to keep mum about Harry’s whereabouts. That leaves one person knowing about the scar and having access to the wizarding world.

...Dumbledore explain.

And then they do it again with Umbridge

We get so many beautiful moments from the teachers to spite Umbridge. So much sass from McGonagall, malicious compliance from Flitwick, Sprout giving Umbridge’s least favourites housepoints left and right. Even Trelawney gets in on it.

How did Umbridge last until June?

One of my favorite scenes in all the books is the one where literally all the teachers ban together to just fucking slay Lockhart like “oh you were just telling me about the chamber of secrets” and “oh didn’t you say you wanted to take a crack at it”, it’s so great

games that i think would be great, but no one will ever make:

lord of the ring ‘farming’ sims

like, the ring has been destroyed, peace has been achieved

sadly, the whole war has left ithilien, the shire, moria, minas morgul, the mirkwood, osgiliath, and tons of other places all across middle earth a dreadful mess

which is the perfect setting for having a random unimportant character go ‘fuck it, now that all the big warriors and heroes have done their job, i’m gonna do mine and plant some fucking flowers here’

and like. rebuild all of the things, and repair stuff, and plant flowers, and just. make all those places the story shows only in ruins be proper, real communities again

Instead of playing “Never Have I Ever”.... do you think the clones play “Never Has My Jedi Ever”?

Cody and Rex end up so drunk every time.

Fox enjoys having played the system.

What would happen if in the Goblet of Fire Cedric believed Harry that he did not enter his name? And one after another all champions came together in secrecy to protect each other in a rigged and manipulated tournament with a known death count?

What would happen if it wasn’t two scared and confused boys ending up in the graveyard, but the very best and brightest of three renowned schools, who had been waiting for something to go not according to plan?
