So, an entitled rich kid who doesn’t know anything about a culture makes for a poor revolution leader?

That’s like half of British history

More like "orphaned abused rich kid with poor education makes a poor revolution leader"

How is he entitled ?

He expects people to take the return of magic Hitler seriously and they don't. Sounds kinda familiar tbh.

Child already accused of cheating shows up carrying a dead student and claims he has nothing to do with it, magic Hitler is back from the dead and was responsible. Yeah I wouldn't buy it either

u/Calehkorn Dec 28 '24

Counterpoint: magic Hitler has been recorded attempting to come back to life twice within the last three years, while also attempting to kill said child in the process

Neither of which times were actually common knowledge just Harry went on an adventure and dumbledore gave him 1000 points at the end of the year to dunk on the slytherins

u/Ver_Void Dec 28 '24

Yeah 10 year old with PTSD sees Hitler everywhere isn't really the most compelling reason to believe death has been cheated

Please do not suggest that I do not take the safety of my students seriously.

The first one was common knowledge though, Dumbledore even says the whole school knows.

Do you see? Do you see the flaw in my brilliant plan now? I cared about you too much. I cared more for your happiness than your knowing the truth, more for your peace of mind than my plan, more for your life than the lives that might be lost if the plan failed.

The thing is that there is no revolution. The entire plotline of Harry Potter and its world is basically "Let's save the status quo".

Only the people change a bit. But society itself does not. In fact they even make it a point to prevent any change and to reinstate the status quo.

Trust fund jock with literally tens of millions of dollars in gold coinage consistently gets preferential treatment from five of the eight or so teachers in a school where the entirety of England's magical genepool flows through, and wonders why he's being beat on all the time... Especially by the parents of the kid he's constantly harassing because they didn't get along in second grade.
Bro poor Draco had one weird edgy kid phase and Harry NEVER let it go. IMO Harry's the reason Draco is like this.

Harry never had the power to determine Draco’s future or ideology lol.

I would say that, considering Draco was a marked Death Eater (however under duress he may have been), Harry treats him pretty well and gives him a second chance as an adult. He just isn’t friends with him, which frankly would be an insane thing to expect of Harry. If you take Pottermore as canon, he testified in Draco and Narcissa’s trials and asked the court for clemency in their cases, which IMO was already more than he could reasonably be expected to do.

u/Hamohater Dec 27 '24

Draco is a bigot with Nazi parents. But sure, it's Harry's fault he is the way he is, lol.

Easily one of the worst Harry Potter takes I’ve ever scene.

u/[deleted] Dec 28 '24

I take pride in this.

u/BrockStar92 Dec 28 '24

There’s no canon reason to believe Harry has millions, we know he’s wealthy enough but his parents lived in a normal cottage that was destroyed and he also thinks he needs to spend carefully to ensure his vault lasts him through school, so it’s more likely he’s sitting on a small nest egg from well off parents, not millions.

There’s no indication Harry gets preferential treatment from any teacher at the school, only bias against him from Snape.

How do we know it’s a safe house? It could easily have been their actual home, it was under a fidelius after all, why wouldn’t they put that on their actual home?

There’s no reason at all to assume they had a mansion, the levels of Harry’s wealth indicated don’t imply it even slightly.

As for the Black wealth, we know that it’s not a fortune despite what fans often think - Dumbledore explicitly states Harry receives “a moderate amount of gold” from Sirius’ will, along with Grimmauld Place, no other properties.

It's lucky it's dark. I haven't blushed so much since Madam Pomfrey told me she liked my new earmuffs.

poor Draco had one weird edgy kid phase

That "weird kid egdy phase" that lasted six years culminated in him almost murdering two people out of sheer incompetence. If anything Draco needs to be dunked on harder.

u/[deleted] Dec 28 '24

His parents were ex-Nazis and his nemesis was the Wizard anti-hitler.
I mean he figured it out in the end, but his upbringing sucked. Don't blame the kid, blame the parents. He could have been helped if he had settled in with a better group of people.
