laksjdhfg09: “They let me take home my time turner, my wand, and my cloak. I chose the time turner because I always thought it was such a beautiful thing; it’s so intricate and detailed. The third film was my favorite, so that was particularly special for me. The cloak is something I’ve worn for all the films, and the wand is so symbolic of my character.” - Emma Watson

chocolatebearturk asked: Good GOD, do I love this Tumblr. I’ve been on board since about book two and I still can’t get enough of this ship. I’ve been reading through some of the questions asked recently and I saw someone talking about a certain person’s assertion that certain shippers are “delusional.”

To be honest, I was not an active, militant shipper at the time of...

hhr-katpeeta asked: Hi :) So I was reading the reasons we ship Harry/Hermione (which I agree to wholeheartedly by the way) and I read one that I didn't really get: "Because we actually ship Harry and Hermione despite Emma and Dan." I was wondering if you could explain. Thanks :)

===> I saw this on my dash. I need my fellow Harry/Hermione shippers to comment on the "problem" that is obviously there. I really don't want to go hating on other shippers but THIS PICTURE really ticked me off. Now I had to crop it and stuff because the person who reblogs this is one of my tumblr crushes and I love...

Authorial Intent vs. Critical Interpretation
Question: You’ve said before that you strive to use exact wording and precise metaphor in order to include as much hidden meaning in your books as English teachers and analysts claim there is. Do you think that this is the case with all authors? Can you give examples, including classic authors, such as those whom might be taught in schools?
John Green: Yes, this is the case with all authors, but it doesn’t matter. Whether an author intentionally put a metaphor in a book is completely irrelevant. The reason metaphors exist in books is not so that your English teachers can torture you by having you search for them but instead because reading critically and nonliterally is a huge part of being a person: It is through metaphor and symbolism that we enter into the life of someone else, and begin to ask their big questions as if they were our own.
It’s worth remembering here that language is itself a symbol (like, you are decoding these characters on your screen and turning them into ideas; if I were writing in Japanese, you wouldn’t be able to turn the characters into ideas) and so all reading is inherently critical. Metaphor and symbol is just another step in the same process, the process of sharing ideas among people who are separated by time and space and death and everything else. So the question of whether J.D. Salinger WANTED Holden’s questions about the ducks in the pond to be a metaphor for his own fears is not an interesting question. The interesting thing is how that metaphor gets inside of us and turns us into Holden, and gives us a way of thinking about our fears of growing up and growing old and losing what is magical about life. THAT is a really interesting thing, and it can only happen inside of us through metaphor. We owe it to ourselves to read critically not so that we can get good grades in English but so that we might have better ways to think about the big questions of our existence and the existence of others. Whether J.D. Salinger wanted us to be better at being human doesn’t really matter; even if he didn’t want to, he still gave us some nice tools to make us more aware and engaged.

H/Hr and Charges of Incest
I feel compelled to toss my two knuts into the recent discussion. Every once in a while I check back with this tumblr to see what’s been going on and I’ve noticed the discussion about the viability of H/Hr from some of your recent visitors.  Naturally you’re going to get many who agree with your point of view, but the vehemence of the objections by some of the R/Hr fans is really...

kamustana-deactivated20110508-d asked: I would just like to apologize if I was too critical of JK Rowling in my last post. I didn't mean to insult the way she wrote her books, I was just giving my interpretation of the way her characters interact. I love her writing and very grateful to her for what she created. This is actually the first time I joined in and commented in HP fandom, I didn't want to join in before because...

Harry/Hermione had a strong friendship and I'm pretty sure it could have gone that way. Just because they didn't end up together doesn't mean it's wrong to see them together in your mind. I follow this blog because I love their friendship more than words can speak, just like I love Ron/Hermione more than words can speak.

Reasons we ship Harry/Hermione
from @mistylehoang REASONS WHY WE SHIP HARRY AND HERMIONE Because Harry and Hermione are suited. Because they think on the same level. Because Harry and Hermione move instinctively together. Because these two admire each other. Because they actually respect one another. Because Harry and Hermione complement each other. Because they can communicate without words. Because Harry and Hermione...

princess-sonia-nevermind asked: Someone just posted an ask that at the end mentioned how people are always suspicious of Harry and Hermione. I never got how Ron and Hermione has all this sexual tension, but it was never ever noticed. Whereas Rita Skeeter, Viktor Krum and Cho (At the least) all thought that Harry and Hermione had something else going on. There were no such hints of any couple. I find it strange.
