you laugh until you cry, you cry until you laugh

[perilous]

I would so happily read Outtakes From Harry Potter: Pointless Scenes of Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, and Hermione Granger Arguing, Joking Around, and Generally Being Adorable Best Friends.

Which is to say that I finished rereading Deathly Hallows yesterday afternoon and have mildly stunned even myself with just how desperately overinvested in the trio I am. Is this an unpopular opinion? I am unsure. But I love them so much. I totally cried, which is a bit weird since I don't remember crying at all the first time I read that book, except maybe when Hedwig died. This time around I probably cried at least a little every hundred pages.

Instead of doing anything productive with my life, this will be my cue to listen to Stephen Fry's audiobooks of the series. And also to pick up with reading a fuckload of fanfiction. How can I not want to find out why Draco Malfoy fled to San Francisco to become a stereotypically effeminate gay barista with a pierced ear and dyed hair?

idthink being overinvested in the trio is an unpopular opinion? I mean obvs it depends on the corner of fandom you're in, but. trio! ♥ I don't remember crying at all when I read it, but I was reading it with my friend and she sobbed through the last hundred pages or so? It was kind of uncomfortable, lolol.

I cried SO HARD at the end of Deathly Hallows, and I do it every single time. I'm left just curled up with it and crying. I'm over invested in the trio, yes, but...my heart utterly broke for Severus Snape. Like, I've pretty much been a Snape fan from the beginning, and ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS adored him, even when the 6th book came out.

And...then this. I cried so hard that I had to take a break when I was reading it the first time.

I'm not going to lie, I think that Deathly Hallows was a perfect end to the series, despite wanting a MILLION more stories, LOL

Mmm, yay fanfiction. Also, JK has my eternal love for totally supporting fanfiction and how they deal with the aftermath. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥



Man. I forgot how much I loved Harry Potter.

I found being overinvested in Hermione to be particularly easy.

i always thought i was the weird one for not being overly invested in the trio. they are by no means my favorites. i was always more interested in hearing about snape and draco lol. i'm definitely more a fan of the side characters than anyone else.

i've been itching to reread dh lately, because i've only read it once, and that was the night i bought it and read it straight through into the next morning, so most of my memories of what actually happens in the book are reaaaaally fuzzy lmao.

I keep trying to reread DH and stopping because I know if I keep going more people are going to die. I am so, so not over Hedwig or Dobby. ;___;

Also I very strongly feel that you should provide a link to this punk barista!Draco Malfoy fic.
