it is canon that Hagrid is a bachelor his whole life, but does Hagrid gently caress? he goes on some dates with that huge alilison janney lady but I never got the impression that he scored.

I'm surprised Rowling didn't come up with something like witches using a spell based on the bag of holding on their vaginas to accommodate Hagrid's hog.

I haven't seen Cursed Child but I want to imagine that Harry was just over seeing his parents die by that point

"Y'know, after Voldemort died and the threat had ended, I had a couple of weird months. I was up, I was down, back up, way down, afraid for my life all over again...Then I spent, like, a sliver of my inheritance on a few months of therapy, and I'm in a much better place now.

My parents' death? That's in the past. Literally. Because that's where we are now. The past.

...oh and also this was magic therapy, where they explained to me that you can't alter the past, no matter how hard you try. Big, big step towards acceptance."

In book 2 JK goes out of her way to mention everyone’s getting flus and Madam Pomfrey is fixing them instantly with a potion. And then goes out of her way to mention that Filch is sick with the flu. They won’t even cure him.

Filch may be a nasty man who wants to bring back medieval torture methods on wizard kid, but no one really treats him with common decency. I don't know if it was in book 4 or later, but one of the house elves let slip that while they could easily keep the castle clean by themselves, they've got orders from Dumbledore to leave behind some messes for Filch to clean. It would've been more merciful to fire him and rather than stick him with fake work.

While it doesn't go into full detail, this review confirms it. gently caress you, Rowling.

It’s canon that squibs get treated like poo poo by wizards so it’s not really surprising that Filch hated everyone at Hogwarts. He gets painted as spineless when Umbridge takes over and he happily starts working for her but she actually gives him real work to do as security. He probably liked the government hardass who treated him like a low-level employee better than all the supposedly enlightened ‘nice’ wizards who treated him like a lovely house elf. Except house elfs have super powerful magic so even they get more respect from the world and from Rowling than those garbage squibs.

Even the "good" wizards are lovely about squibs, IIRC theres an offhand comment at one point by Ron that he has an aunt who's a squib, and he goes "I think she's an accountant or something? I don't know nobody in the family really talks to her at all."

Filch is actually really sweet to the nice hufflepuff kids. All the torture talk is just to gently caress with little shits like Harry and Draco.

Strength and speed, that's why you're a special agent.
Based on Neville's story I assume most squibs are killed by their parents because Wizard parents would rather have their kids die trying to provoke magic than just let them live happily as muggles.

is the wizarding world just a cult.

the muggle world is maligned to discourage wizards from leaving. half the wizards are cops to prevent interactions with muggles.

everyone is under educated and taught no skills so they are unable to survive in the muggle world if they do decide to leave.

New canon: There’s actually like 200 million wizards in the world, most of whom live in regular communities and hold down regular jobs and enjoy modern technology and society, but they use magic to gain every advantage and get ahead in life and their lives are pretty chill and comfortable

Harry just was unlucky enough to get inducted into some bizarre LARPing subcommunity of wizards that has its own rules and customs and a bunch of their leaders are masquerading as a pseudo government who hide the existence of the normal wizarding world from the movement’s followers. Harry has no idea he’s caught up in a weird backwards cult that 95% of the world’s wizards look at uneasily but don’t quite know what they should do about
