THE MAGIC BEGINS: A character you feel the need to defend → Severus Snape
“Have you ever considered that you ask too much, that you take too much for granted? Has it ever crossed your brilliant mind that I don’t want to do this anymore?”
THE RHYTHM OF THE WAR DRUMS • {listen} • A fanmix for the Battle of Hogwarts, 2 May, 1998.
I’ll join you when Hell freezes over!
Well, you split your soul, you see, and hide part of it in an object outside the body. Then, even if one’s body is attacked or destroyed, one cannot die, for part of the soul remains earthbound and undamaged. But, of course, existence in such a form…few would want it, Tom, very few. Death would be preferable.
“We’re the only ones who can end it!”
My life.

i cannot.

Okay, I’m having a moment. Let me have a minute to get over this video. Shit I mean … This nearly killed me. I often type into my tags that I’m crying but this time I really mean it. Hp has been over for a year now and I still think that it’s the best damn thing that ever happened to me. And it will never truly end for me. Because I’m sitting here crying over these characters, over this fantastic series which gave me so much. Harry Potter was the first book I’ve ever read and it changed me. I guess I’ll never find the right words to explain my love for these books and movies … But I just wanna say one thing: Joanne K. Rowling … THANK YOU SO, I OWE YOU SO MUCH. Just thank you FOR MAKING MY CHILDHOOD A BETTER AND MAGICAL TIME.
Really though. Wow.
00:34.
00:34 is how far I got in the video when I felt hot tears streaming down my face. Being a part of the Potter generation is like nothing I have ever experienced since. It was the book that taught me to read by myself, it was the story that I clung too in the darkest most depressing hours of my childhood, and it gave me the morals that I still hold close to my heart today as I enter adulthood. It gave me hope to believe in the idea that there is more than meets the eye in our world - and that kind of hope, when you’re a child, is everything. It was a secret world and escape to us as children, but as adults/older teenagers the tale of love and courage, friends and bravery is as relevant as ever.
I opened Philosopher’s Stone when I was seven.
I am nineteen now.
And I now and always will consider the story one of my greatest teachers.
I think I got something in my eye. I swear!
*actually cries*
I cried everywhere during this whole thing. Harry Potter was my escape. When my parents fought, and my brother yelled, I would hide in my room and read Harry Potter until my vision blurred. I got teased in middle school because I insisted clutching the books to my chest as I walked down the halls. Despite that, I always ran to them. To the Golden Trio. To the Weasley’s. To Dumbledore. To Hogwarts. I’m so in love with the universe that is Harry Potter. It has been and always will be my safe haven.
Because Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.

WHY WAS THIS DELETED

The battle of Hogwarts (May 2, 1998)
Never forget
Wave upon wave of crimson supporters was pouring over the barriers into the field. Hands were raining down on their backs. Harry had a confused impression of noise and bodies pressing in on him. Then he, and the rest of the team, were hoisted onto the shoulders of the crowd. Thrust into the light, he saw Hagrid, plastered with crimson rosettes – “Yeh beat ‘em, Harry, yeh beat ‘em! Wait till I tell Buckbeak!” There was Percy, jumping up and down, like maniac, all dignity forgotten. Professor McGonagall was sobbing harder even than Wood, wiping her eyes with an enormous Gryffindor flag; and there, fighting their way toward Harry, were Ron and Hermione. Words failed them. They simply beamed as Harry was borne towards the stands, where Dumbledore stood waiting with the enormous Quidditch Cup.

“You do care,” said Dumbledore. “You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.”
