harry potter was so messed up guys

not the book series

the character

he was so messed up like he lived in a closet and was hungry and treated like crap and no one helped him escape that life for a decade and then he finally gets to know his heritage and his family and oops kiddo you’re kind of famous?? wizard jesus??? so deal with that without any kind of adult guidance whatsoever you’re eleven and grew up in a house without any kind of emotional support you’re mature enough to handle that and THEN he finds out that he’s actually got people in this world that want him and want to love him and he finds out that… this world… hates them???  like one’s a werewolf and the other is a “criminal” and this world that celebrates his life hates the people that want to genuinely love him and care for him??? and the family that also loves and protects him are treated like crap because they are poor?????? and aren’t racist??? 

then he grows up a bit more and then suddenly he’s got this fuckin’ genocidal war lord out for his head specifically and he’s killing people and shit and NO ONE BELIEVES HIM they literally look at him like YEAH RIGHT YOU ARE JUST THE LITTLE BABY THAT SURVIVED A BAD NIGHT YOU DON’T KNOW ANYTHING and Harry’s like WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

YOU KNOW WHAT NO FUCK YOU

and then he starts a club to teach kids… how to protect themselves?  Because he’s been let down by adults all his damn life so fuck them fuck them all he doesn’t need them they won’t listen to him so he’ll do what he can to protect these kids because the adults won’t do it it’s all on him he’s gotta do it he’s gotta

and then people that love him and want to protect him just for the sake of protecting a friend start dying one by one

and then he fuckin learns that all his fuckin life he’s been raised to be killed and he just

walks into the forest calmly 

and accepts it

WHAT THE FUCK 

#SOMEONE HUG THIS CHILD (via conjure-at-your-own-risk)

Amen.

And can we talk for a second, about how he actively let go of the one person in the entire world that makes him feel normal (and that he wants to be normal most out of anything else is a whole other essay), like he’s got a future, because he thinks he makes her a target, and not only that: if anything happened to her it would be HIS fault? Can we???

I mean, they obviously got their happy ending and all, but he walked away from the girl whose kisses had the same effect as firewhiskey on him, who has been described by him in poetic terms since he was twelve years old. Harry has been completely gone on this girl for months, like, he’s trying to find a way to have Ginny as a girlfriend and Ron as a best friend at the same time, even having seen Ron’s rather extreme reaction to her and Dean earlier in the year, that’s how much he loves likes Ginny. Then they get together and are blissfully happy, and he lets her go, because his upbringing pretty much ensured that he thought he, a teenager, had the responsibility to deal with a situation that has plagued multiple generations, and he wanted her to be safe. Meanwhile having little regard for his own safety.

I have no kind words for the Dursleys.
