Whenever I see someone thinking Harry's and Ron's grades are average or the guys are a bit dumb, I know it's coming from someone very young and unfamiliar with the British grade system of the 80s. I've just seen people complaining that Hermione received one EE as if it is horrible. Not in this specific universe!
Rowling clearly based Hogwarts' grading system on O-levels and A-levels from the 1980s, when she went to school. At that time, there was no grade inflation yet (nowadays, almost half of the year receives an A, and they have even added an A* to better differentiate).
The number of A grades was restricted to 10% at most. Students even got into universities with BBC grades, and B used to be something to be proud of.
A, B, and C assured you that you could continue with the subject at A-levels reserved for university applicants. I've seen our transfer students freaking out because of a B even though it's exceeding the expected amount of knowledge.
Hermione not receiving one O is just her not outshining everyone else in a single subject. Harry and Ron receiving that many good passes while not even studying half as much as Hermione is a tremendous achievement.
Moreover, let's remember that grades are correlated with high executive functioning skills, not high intelligence or general ability. The grade distribution was not bell-shaped the way the IQ is, even in the 80s. And the canon is pretty clear that magical power, at least at the school level, isn't either. So, the Golden Trio is brilliant; it's not 2024; they are in the UK. Let's mind the context while analyzing old books.

I can't cry right now I'm passing an exam - why do you do this 😭
IM SO SAD ABOUT HARRY IM SO SO UPSET
he was so small and he didn’t ask for any of it and they starved him and put him in too big clothes and they all bullied him at school and almost everyone who was supposed to protect him either failed or exploited him and they made him seem dramatic they made him seem like just an angry teenager like he doesn’t have more right than anyone to go absolutely batshit and he cares so much and he’s so lovely and he hides so many things from people and protects everyone and then he doesn’t even get to escape he wins the war and becomes an auror so he has to keep fighting and keep working with the same ministry that abused him and called him a liar and he names his kid after two of the people who abused and exploited him he attaches himself to them he never ever lets himself let go because he doesn’t think he should get to. what is the chosen one supposed to do when he’s not needed anymore?? he was meant to be a sacrifice and he lived and what are you supposed to do after that??

Alright, I know some people think that Harry will be down bad/have a crush on Tom first or some thinks it'll be Tom; but I feel like it's neither? Hell, canonically, Harry is really emotionally stunted in that regard, and I just don't see him grovelling or reacting that way to anyone or not specifically to Tom? Especially not a Slytherin who is always busy with political climbing or things-that-don't-interest-Harry. I feel like they'll be so busy with their lives, that until and unless someone smack dabs them together (with their luck, let's be real something WILL smack dab them together) I do believe they'll be passing thoughts in each other's life.
Harry might end up thinking in the passing that Tom's really good looking because hell, I've done that; even when I'm not attracted to someone, I will always appreciate a face that I find pleasing. I don't think Harry will be that interested in Tom until and unless he does something that attracts him (ex: quidditch LMAO). And the same goes for Tom, for whom I have this headcanon; that it's not power or say, defiance that would attract him but something more. More visceral, more ground shaking. Something that will make him stop and think and learn. Because he doesn't seem like a person who would just get a crush out of nowhere (that doesn't mean I don't mind obsessed Tom fics, bc vee obsessing on harry is canon so who's to say he doesn't end up doing the same lmao).
And also the headcanon of Harry not realizing Tom is suspicious? Guys, this is Harry Potter; Mr I doubt everything and anything. Mr I fought of imperio because it felt too good to be true and my mind went sus alert. You think Harry wouldn't see Tom Riddle being so nice and so perfect and won't feel wait a second? Give my boy some credit, I beg. We've been shown his sixth sense being right, over and over again. And he has trust issues.
So, food for thought? Neither of them would do the grovelling and pining (they might in some specific circumstances but not in your average fics where they are doing their things without crossing paths), rather they are gonna do the falling once faith crash them together so hard; they end up getting a concussion (love).

Yes ! Read the books ! Those people are the same that would tell you that Harry is "oblivious" or "isn't clever" or "unobservant"...This fandom needs to do something to get out of their hatred and wrong assumptions of him perpetuated by Snape and Malfoy.
Stop trying to take out Harry's skill and stop trying to bypass the abuse he suffered. Just because Harry doesn't realise it, it doesn't mean we don't too.
It is funny to me how Harry Potter is literally the main character, yet people tend to go like he didn't suffer that much or he wasn't "abused"; Like, how can one misunderstand the literal main character of the damn franchise?
He wasn't abused; yes okay. He absolutely did not grow up inside a cupboard; the tiny place that is mostly reserved for brooms or cleaning supply. He absolutely was not treated inferior to the other child who lived in the same house. He was totally was not treated like a "freak" or a "stain" that his family was ashamed off. He grew up inside a cupboard while there was a literal unused bed in the same house. And you want to know what that screamed to a child, a baby — who slept inside a cupboard while there being a perfectly usable room right there? You are worth nothing and we don't love you and we are ashamed of what you are.
He wasn't starved, or at least he was fed; Yeah, no. We see it from the first book. How Vernon was no food for you and in the cupboard you go — and by the looks of it, that was like his most common punishment. And then, in the second book — you practically see it happen. He was locked, inside a room with only a can of soup that he shared with Hedwig. Now, tell me what it would do to a child — to be given food through a cat flap, and fun fact? Harry got to eat less than people on war rations; in short? He was starved, yes.
He wasn't abused physically so it's not abuse; As for people's thinks abuse isn't abuse until it's physical (which is inherently wrong because abuse isn't only physically, fyi); Harry has learned to dodge Vernon and he states that, very proudly when his uncle tries to grab him. He dodges a flying pan and states that fact, again very proudly as if it is the norm; do you know how heavy pans are? And do you know what would happen when one hits you? If you want an even clearer proof; Vernon Dursley strangles Harry in Ootp. There you go. Also, in the first book, we clearly see Vernon encouraging Dudley to hit Harry. Read between the lines and actually try to understand what that signifies.
And favourite part; When he wasn't treated like a prisoner, or a freak— he was their servant. And that is very much canonical. Tending Petunia's garden during summers and drinking from the water hose in the garden because of how hot it was? Having to wake up early so he can tend the kitchen and when he wasn't doing all that he is locked away. And it is all canon.
In conclusion, Harry— not only grew up to think that he was inhumane, undeserving of love, a freak that didn't even get to have his own bed because someone like him didn't deserve it, physically harmed enough times that he dodges them out of reflex and also the Dursleys' glorified servant; that is not even taking into account what Harry went through in Hogwarts. And after all that if someone tells me; this child, right here — didn't go through much then well, maybe read the books again?

I need a fic of this asap
Closeted Harry coming out to Ron after his breakup with Ginny and Ron just being like, “cool just don’t date one of my brothers”
Fred and George freezing and looking at Harry with nothing but absolute delight at the potential mischief.
Harry making eye contact with them, immediately understanding their intentions, and winking as he puts a finger to his lips, shushing them.
Ron following Harry’s line of sight and screaming “NO. NO. FUCK NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT.”
Harry and the twins platonically flirting in the most obnoxious ways imaginable.
Harry showing up to breakfast in the Great Hall late with a different twins sweater on, looking debauched. One or even both the twins give him a salacious once over. Ron wants to sink into the floor and die.
Ron eventually gets used to this but absolutely loses it when the rest of his brothers send him their sweaters and flirt with him at the Burrow.
The Weasley boys sending flirty howlers to Harry just to send Ron spiraling.
Ron being so relieved when Harry dates literally anyone who isn’t one of his older brothers.

Just realised the movies robbed us off of Harry with shoulder length hair during the battle of Hogwarts and their kidnapping to the Malfoy Manor.
I will never forgive them 😭 I crave a Fanart of him with jet black straight untidy hair with almond-shaped startling green eyes...

There is no way she didn't notice that 🤣 We are all drarry shippers in the end wether we like it or not 💀
I still cannot get over the fact that in book 6 Harry has a whole conversation about Draco interspersed with a song about a troubled love playing in the background.
I mean look at this. It has to be seen to be believed.

Book 6 is insane. JKR hates drarry but accidentally wrote a 160K word drarry fic.

I have a headcanon that Harry is good at tending to plants and flowers and creates beautiful garden.
And I love that we give him more recognition.
Can I just say, I still love the side talents that people give Harry?
Like the ability to play an instrument, or draw or sing or do whatever. Like something that could be magical but also isn't. I want to hear about how Harry got in trouble by Snape because he doodled on his essay but also Snape had to pause because "damn actually this is really good".
Maybe Harry is so naturally good with a broom/flying he can sort of? fly on his own. Maybe just hover a little by himself for reasons that have to do with childhood trauma or something idk. It's just cool

My poor love
Harry at the end of every book: "Looks like this summer is shaping up to be better than the last!"
The first sentence of the next book: "It had been a terrible summer on Privet Drive"

I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like Harry James Potter has a sleeper build, like he looks skinny and scrawny but is actually really strong. Anyone else?

Happy Birthday!!
I know. I’m terribly late. Sorry Ron !!! Anyway … Happy Birthday Ronald !! … it’s 12 days too late, but you forgive me… don’t you? :’)
(The tribute to Remus will come soon, who he had a birthday 3 days ago …)
“You’ve sort of made up for it tonight,’ said Harry. ‘Getting the sword. Finishing off the Horcux. Saving my life.’ ‘That makes me sound a lot cooler than I was,’ Ron mumbled. ‘Stuff like that always sounds cooler than it really was,’ said Harry. 'I’ve been trying to tell you that for years.’ Simultaneously they walked forwards and hugged, Harry gripping the still sopping back of Ron’s jacket.” ― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
