I love how every character from the marauders era has fans and antis but not Peter Pettigrew. I absolutely love how no matter whose side they're on every one unites and goes fuck tht guy, I hate him. If there r people who are sympathetic to him they're a very, very small minority. Lyk I'm not blaming this 20 yr old for not standing up against the darkest wizard of all time and not wanting to fight in a war, but he could hv just lived a normal life. Especially given his animagus form, he could have just gone and settled elsewhere if he was that terrified. He didn't hv to fucking betray ppl who trusted him, get his friends and (potentially) their infant son killed and frame his other friend so he's imprisoned for the rest of his life with creatures that make u relive ur worst memories and feed on ur soul.

Literally no one likes tht guy, it's kinda funny lmao

"The marauders should have been expelled for what they did to Snape 😤😤"

Tom riddle let a giant motherfucking snake that can kill just by looking on lose in a school full of kids to kill all the students of a particular blood status, and ended up actually killing a student

The most Albus 'the greatest wizard of all time' Dumbledore did was 'keeping an annoyingly close watch on him.' (it's also worth noting that tom learnt how to split his soul from books procured from the school library under said watch)

Lyk.....wtf did u expect, keep up!😂😂

#lmaooo #the lack of safety measures Hogwarts has in place is truly astounding #ik it wasn't done for the right purpose... but could Dumbledore REALLY complain when the ministry wanted to be involved!? #safest place in Britain my ass #harrry potter #severus snape #james potter #sirius black #marauders era #mauraders #tom marvolo riddle #tom riddle #moaning myrtle #anti dumbledore

soooo funny when people who ship wolfstar complain if they’re “toxic” like. why r u in the fandom centered around childhood friends who joined a war grew suspicious & stopped trusting each other one got framed for killing their best friend & went to prison for 13 years & the other fully believed he was guilty & then when they do reunite they immediately agree to kill their other childhood friend in front of a group of kids (including their dead friend’s son) & then when the guy gets away they join a war again and live in the same house until the one who went to prison dies. and then the other one marries a younger woman has a kid with her and dies immediately after as well. and ur getting mad at people for writing their relationship as “toxic”???? one has to laugh….

#i actually prefer the canon toxic version to whatever tf goes on nowadays 😭😭 #wolfstar #sirius black #remus lupin

Alan Rickman, David Thewlis, Gary Oldman and all those are iconic in their roles in Harry Potter, but I’ll always be a bit sad about that casting, because having that ‘Marauders era’ cast be age appropriate would’ve just been so much better for the story.

Sirius wasn’t this old man who spent 12 years in Azkaban, no he got locked up at 21. He spent almost third of his life in a cell. He wasn’t this wise father figure to Harry, he was a reckless thirty-something who never really got the chance to mature past 21.

Remus was an exhausted, bone deep tired man carrying both physical and mental scars from the suffering he went through. Because he’s a werewolf, because of the war, because he lost all of his friends. And he’s only 33 when first introduced.

And Snape. Snape wasn’t an old bitter man who just hated everyone and enjoyed being antagonistic. He was 31 in Harry’s first year. He began to work for Voldemort as a teen, and as a double agent at 20. He’s a thirty-something bitter man, who never got to really live or make real connections. From Harry’s perspective he’s scary and intimidating, but really he’s just kinda…sad and pathetic. And then especially that scene where Snape is begging Dumbledore to help save Lily, and promising anything in return. (Because apparently Dumbledore needs something in return…for saving people.) He’s twenty. Barely out of his teens. Rickman was good in that scene, but having someone who actually looks twenty, would better show how scared, young, guilty and just desperate he was. That might not put Dumbledore in such a good light, though.

And then, the characters I think would’ve been the most important to cast age appropriately. And most people probably already agree and know who I’m talking about. James and Lily. They were 21 when they died. When Harry sees them in the mirror of Erised, they’re 10 years older than him. That’s the age difference Ron has with Bill. In that scene I might understand somewhat them being in their thirties, because that’s what Harry wants. He wants his life with his parents, he wants to have been raised by them. Though, I don’t know if the mirror could know what they might’ve looked like in their thirties, since they didn’t live that long. But then, in the cemetery when Voldemort’s wand spits the last spells cast, we see Lily and James as they were. 21. They’re telling their son to hold on just a moment longer. And they are 7 years older than him. In Deathly Hallows, Harry sees Voldemort kill them. They’re not this happy couple who’s got to love each other for a long time, only to have that happiness torn from them, no they started at Hogwarts ten years ago. They’re 21, and they’ve barely tasted that happiness. At the end of the book Harry talks to his parents. They comfort him and promise to stay with him, as he goes to die. Harry’s seventeen. James and Lily are four years older than him.

It wouldn’t have felt as nice. Harry being comforted by someone who looks almost his age. But it wasn’t nice. It was pretty tragic. Casting people who look 21, would’ve really made it land on the audience. It was a tragedy. They were barely adults.

Sirius isn't a manchild that only saw Harry as James. But there is a character in canon that is like that, and that character is Snape.

“‘Gryffindor, where dwell the brave at heart!’ Like my dad.” Snape made a small, disparaging noise. James turned on him. “Got a problem with that?” “No,” said Snape, though his slight sneer said otherwise. “If you’d rather be brawny than brainy – ” “Where’re you hoping to go, seeing as you’re neither?” interjected Sirius.

Sirius, James and Severus in The Deathly Hallows.

“Think my name’s funny, do you? No need to ask who you are. My father told me all the Weasleys have red hair, freckles, and more children than they can afford.” He turned back to Harry. “You’ll soon find out some wizarding families are much better than others, Potter. You don’t want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there.” He held out his hand to shake Harry’s, but Harry didn’t take it. “I think I can tell who the wrong sort are for myself, thanks,” he said coolly.

Harry, Ron and Draco in The Philosopher's Stone.

The parallels between Harry and Sirius are both beautiful and heartbreaking. As are the differences.

Love as powerful as your mother's for you leaves it's own mark. To have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection forever.
