Rule #63 also applies to the Marauders.

Cool girl Harry Potter gang

OH MA GOOOOOOOOSH!! THIS IS WORTHY OF 🤩x♾

Glad you like it :)

Whoa. That's so weird, it's cool.

Yup! Rule 63.... The meme in which all males become females and vice versa... I got more from the Potter world, and more franchises... I didn't draw this myself though.... I like the nasty look of the female James... Scares the crap outta me ;)

I like the names. Did you make them yourself?

Yeah, I made the female versions of the names myself. Which was hard as there are no real female versions of Rhemus and Sirius. Jamie was an open door to James, and Petra is the original feminine version of Petrus of which Peter is derived. Since I have a cousin called Petra, I should know.

Nice job! They all are really good. Serena was a good improvisation. I like Petra the best. It's very unique.

I guess Serena was the closest I could come up with... I mean "Siria" reminds too much of a certain country, eh? Yeah, Petra sounds pretty unique. In the Netherlands it's pretty common girl's name. Like I said, my cousin is called Petra, and I know a few more women with that name. I guess "Petrus" (from which "Peter" comes) is a very common name in my family. It's my middle name, and there are many men with the name Petrus, and as such I guess a woman with the name Petra was to be expected.

I also have this one of the trio. I didn't name these, as the artist named them themselves, and there I must say that "Herman" for Hermione was pretty brilliant.

With it comes to Harriet, that the English version of the French name Henriette, which is also my grandmother's name. ;)

Awesome! Yeah, my grandfather is from Germany, and my uncles, aunts, cousins, siblings, and I have Germanic names, like Gisela, Andrianna, and Christian. The picture above is rather ingenious. Herman was a very smart name for Hermione. I'll bet if Viktor Krum had a kid, he'd name him Herman after Hermione. I like the name Harriet too. The "play-on-words" technique was especially creative.

Yeah, where Henriette is the name of my maternal grandmother, Adriana is the name of my paternal grandmother. Since I'm Dutch and German is pretty close to Dutch, not to mention that Germany and the Netherlands are neighboring countries there are a lot of German names common in the Netherlands as well.

Oh yeah, and how do you like this picture of a female Harry and a female Draco? I really think I found the work of an artist here :)

That's wicked awesome. The coldness of Draco (maybe Drakaina which also means dragon) is enchanting, and you can see how they're personalities reflect on each other.

I think European names are the most prettiest names in the world. They all have a certain meaning that is something special to that person. My name means "God is my oath" which I think rather suits me.

My name "Jeroen" comes from the French "Jêrome" which in turn came from the Greek Jeronimus which in turn came from Heronimus. And Heronimus means "The Holy Name". My middle name "Petrus" means "Rock" and it is said that Jesus named his first follower that (in English known as St. Peter) as he would be the rock to support him. Now for me the name "Petrus" is more a memento of my paternal grandfather who died only a few years before I was born, so my middle name always made me wonder about a man I've never known. Of course, European names are not unique in having meanings. In Asian cultures people's names also have meanings. I've once heard about a political leader whose name meant "little bottle", and when he got controversial, people protested against him by breaking little bottles. And of course I've once looked up some names Native Americans use for some characters in my own stories who were loosely based on Native Americans and there too I could find some wonderful sometimes even honorable meanings. Of course Europe may have a lot of names, since Germanic, Romanic and Slavic languages are spoken here, and each group has brought forth names. And now that the European Union is being formed allowing more free travel among European countries you can see the names of the different groups pop up in other areas. There are now Russians named "Guus", which is a typical Dutch name... This was because the Russian Soccer team was once made great by the Dutch coach Guus Hiddink, and the Russians were so happy they named their children after him. Funny how things can go, eh?

So you're named after a Marauder and the brightest witch of the age? (kidding)

My first name comes from Elizabeth which, as I said earlier, means "God is my oath." My middle name, Mae, means pearl and my last name means blacksmith in German which is a little odd, but kind of cool. My siblings will call me "Mae Mae" sometimes which means sweet little sister in Mandarin.

The "little bottle" is fascinating. The man probably always knew when someone was mocking him! ;) The coolest thing about names is they all have a story, like your "Guus" tale. I was almost named Edeltraud after my great-grandmother, but my parents thought I would get teased a lot.

Hehehe... I was not named after the Marauders for sure, since I'm older than the HP franchise, plus, unlike me, my parents hate the HP franchise. Of course, they knew when to find me when a cross-word puzzle asked who "He-who-shall-not-be-named" was (In Dutch "Hij die niet genoemd mag worden"). Now that I think of Peter Pettigrew being a traitor and the relation between me and my old man... Okay, forget I said that 😜😁. I never linked Heronimus with Hermione, but now that you mention that... Hermione is in my top 5 of characters I recognized myself in.

Don't worry. I'm not associating you with a traitor! Yeah, I also relate to Hermione because sometimes, I too, feel like i'm surrounded by idiots (jk), but she is also determined to achieve her goals, and she'll whatever it takes to accomplish them.

Yeah, well in my case I too can sometimes be a walking encyclopedia... Just like Hermione.

I also really like book Ginny (not movie Ginny) because she was a rebel and she never took rubbish from anyone. One of the only perks of having older brothers!

Being the youngest kid out of 7 and also being the only girl can do that. The movie Ginny did show this a bit (as when she successfully commanded a Quidditch team to be quiet where Harry failed to do so), not to mention how she got the Half-Blood Prince book out of Harry's hands, but indeed the book version did show these traits much more. The book version did also show she shared a lot of traits with Fred and George, although Molly always failed to notice. She did often team up with the twins against Ron, very much to his chagrin, something we rarely see her do in the movies (except for joining Fred and George in their love song about Krum to mock Ron, even saying "think you are in love, Ron?")
And let's not forget how she stood up for Harry in the second movie when Malfoy tried to mock him in the bookshop. Also making Malfoy's reply (Look, Potter. You got yourself a girl-friend) pretty ironic, when you realize that Ginny would eventually be Harry's wife.

In the books I liked how she constantly spoke bad of Fleur (until the moment Fleur showed she was not all-beauty and actually a girl with a more pure heart than you could have imagined) calling her "phlegm". Of course, the moment Harry actually kissed Ginny in the books was much more spectecular (in the books Ginny replaced Harry as seeker because Harry couldn't play as Snape put him in detention for the rest of the year after the Sectumsempra curse on Malfoy, and Ginny caught the snitch making Gryffindor champion causing Harry to kiss her in front of everybody. In the movie they kissed in the Room of Requirement after Ginny hid the Half Blood Prince Book in there).

Ginny does indeed not take any shit from anybody, and yet her insecurity is still shown when Tom Riddle reveals what she all wrote in his diary (at that point unaware she was actually talking to Voldemort). I guess that is one of the woes of having to shorten stories for movies...

Yeah, Draco could tell the future better than Professor Trelawney could!

In the books, it was nice that they kissed in the common room with all the other Gryffindors because it was like they got back at Ron for being with Lavender. In the movie, their kiss seemed out of the ordinary, and there was no real justice targeted toward Ron. Ginny was extremely underestimated, and I guess that's why I like her a lot.

Fleur was another character that the movies really watered down. In the books, she did start out as a bit of a pain, but she proved herself to the Weasleys later in the series. On the other hand, in the movies, she stayed the same "Phlegm" as everyone knew her to be. I do understand that they had to shorten some stories for the movies, but they did extinguish some major subplots.

Fleur is indeed not really worked out in the movies. During the Tri-Wizard tournament Fleur seems a bit arrogant, but maybe she had to be. But Fleur is easily misunderstood. When a girl gets too much attention from boys she can become a bit rude as a means of self-protection. Krum seemed more able to deal with all the attention from the girls, although it's clear he didn't like it either. It seems like a dream getting all attention from the opposite sex, but it can be a curse rather than a blessing, as you never know who is willing to go for it with you for real. Also Fleur had to deal with a language barrier as the novels made her clear that her mastery over the English language was poor at best (she was French after all). Me having a native language that is very hard to learn (trust me), have seen a lot that people can then come in as arrogant and rude when they don't mean to be. Since the little English Fleur could speak was heavily French accented, you got all the recipe to be prejudiced about her. Also given that the girls could easily get jealous for all the males' attention and boom. Since Bill looked very very extremely cool, I gotta give him that, (the movies did not do that cool look justice, but the anime picture did) it was easy to assume she only went for Bill's cool looks. After Bill was attacked by a werewolf Fleur finally got the chance to show her true colors in a way nobody could refute anymore.

Fleur was just desperate in trying to win the trust of Molly and Ginny, but her language barrier was a bit in the way. She was actually pretty insecure.

True. I bet we'd all feel weird having to go someplace entirely new, and barely knowing enough of that language. I have two friends who exchanged from China last year, and they seem a little odd at first, but they are very sweet and they love to learn and cook.

I feel bad for Fleur because all she wants is to show herself to the Weasleys and to everyone, and she doesn't want to be judged by her character or background. She is willing to change for others to gain their approval of her. Krum as well. In the books, maybe not the movies, he was described as shy and intelligent which was why Hermione was so drawn to him. I suspect that he was constantly teased by his classmates for his calm nature, and put his name in the Goblet of Fire to prove that he could be like a typical Durmstrang student; brave and daring. He also was willing to change for his peers and teachers. These people are the ultimate "Don't judge a book by it's cover."

"Miss Delacour is as much of a fairy princess as I am! As for Krum, his head may be filled with sawdust, but Karkaroff's is not!" (Fake-Moody in the movie)
It was described in the book that Krum was not really anything special, it was just as soon as he entered a Quidditch pitch he was "God". Which is a bit to say for many stars in professional sports. What Fake-Moody said about Fleur is also true. She is as much of a fairy princess as he is, even though she has the looks, unlike (Fake)Moody. Krum suffered even more from the language barrier than Fleur, as his English was by far worse. Why Krum came most of all to Hermione was simply because she was one of the few girls who did not walk after him all the time like a brainless bimbo, and that does indeed show that he's not a fool. He wanted a girl, who'd like Viktor the person, and not Viktor the Quidditch player. Viktor shows most of all a kind of the shadow side of fame. He only wanted to get the best out of himself in the Quidditch pitch because, that's what a sportsman does... He didn't really ask to be revered because of that.
I won't hold against Krum (omitted in the movies) that he mistakenly thought the mark of the Deathly Hallows was a dark mark (since Gellert Grindelwald used to draw that mark a lot), as there was probably know way he could have known why Grindelwald did so (after all not all actions an evil person does, are evil).
The book did state Krum had trouble walking in a straight line, implying he is rather clumsy, count the language barrier to that, and you easily get the wrong picture. It indeed shows you should judge people too soon.

But this can also work the other way around. The two on the picture just look like a completely innocent couple having nothing better to do than being in love with each other. Truth is, those two are the most infamous couple the U.S. has ever seen: Bonnie and Clyde. Now deeming these two evil is too easy for judgment, but they were wanted for a very long list of terrible crimes nonetheless.

You're right. Everyone loved Krum "the Quidditch player" and not Krum himself. He just wanted a girl who understood him, and loved him for who he is and not for his popularity or looks. And he probably also suffered learning English like Fleur. Especially in the Goblet of Fire when he was trying to pronounce Hermione's name! Did you know that J.K. Rowling did that so people would know how to say Hermione's name? That was a subtle, but clever move. Krum was right that the Deathly Hallows sign was dangerous because, if used for evil, it is death itself.

A friend of mine did an English essay on Bonnie and Clyde. They were amazing in a wicked sort of way.

Oh, but there are more differences. The night in the forest where Harry saw Quirrel drinking unicorn blood for Voldemort, it was Neville who went with them and not Ron. In the movies it was Snape who caught Harry and Ron after stealing the flying car and not Filch. In the novel Snape discovered Harry's map as Harry was seen in Hogsmeade, but in the movies Snape caught Harry in the corridor at night. In the novels it was Dobby who provided Harry with Gillyweed, in the movies it was Neville. In the novels it was Hagrid who explained Thestrals to Harry, in the movies it was Luna.

Now that I am reading novel #4 I wonder where Ludo Bagman and Winky went in the movie, while Winky in particular plays a very important role. Not to mention that they messed up the story behind fake Mad-Eye Moody in the movies, big deal. I did read somewhere though that Rowling originally planned Peter Pettigrew to be the fake Mad-Eye Moody, but decided later somebody else would fill the bill better. I guess Fudge would also not have been able to be so dismissive is Pettrigrew was found after the unmasking. Funny how things change, eh... Well being a writer myself I can say too that you sometimes change many ideas along the way.

There were a lot of differences from transitioning the books to the movies, and it makes me wonder why change it? It didn't provide anything more than critiques from die-hard HP fans. One detail I hated the most was the Goblet of Fire when they portrayed Barty Crouch Jr. as guilty and accepting his role as a follower of Voldemort when Harry first sees him in the Pensieve. It didn't add anything to the story except that his father was right to send him to Azkaban. I feel it would be a more emotional and important scene if Barty Crouch Jr. was innocent and screaming at his father. It would have made much more sense for his character and why he plotted revenge against his father. The absence of Winky and Mr. Bagman was weird too. It would only be a slight change to add them, but it would make a big difference.

I think it's cool that your a writer. ;) What kind of books do you write?

Fantasy... I write in Dutch though, although if you like I can link you to a few quick translations of chapters I wrote. I write in POV style about a world called Phantasar. A world where humans live along Elves, Gnomes, Befindos and many other races and where magic is quite common. Each novel focuses on an important chapter of the history of that world and the people who played part in it. I shall look up some quick translations for you and send them to you later ;)

Now I do understand why they had to shorten things, but change entirely, like indeed the attitude Barthy Crouch Jr. shows when Karkarov reveals him to be a Death Eater (which didn't happen in the novels as he was there arrested and brought to trial along with Bellatrix and Redolphus Lestrange). Also Crouch Sr. had a different attitude in the books. In the movies Dumbledore says "Destroyed Barthy to do it, but he had no choice, the evidence was overwhelming". In the books none of Dumbledore's statements I just quoted were true. Barthy took great pride in sending his own son to Azkaban showing that he had no mercy on death eaters, not even his own son, and the evidence was far from overwhelming in the books, and although he was guilty, the evidence was not enough to get him condemnend, Barthy only did it to put an example to the wizarding world.
Now I can imagine they removed Bagman to save time... Winky was however by far more important, and played vital key roles. Also the movie suggests Crouch sr. didn't know his son was out of Azkaban, in the novels he helped him escape by pressure of his wife and Winky. The fate of Mrs. Crouch is not even discussed in the movies. And Crouch jr, was not there when Voldemort killed Frank Bryce, as Voldemort and Wormtail released him out of Crouch's house later, as Voldemort deemed him more capable of doing the job (impostoring Moody leading Harry to the graveyard).
Now the movies also didn't explain why Harry's wand connected with Voldemort's causing the priori incantatum (Dumbledore only mentions the name of that phenomenon) showing Harry's parents, Cedric and Frank Bryce (in the novels a woman also appears, but she was omitted in the movies).

Dang! And another thread end.... Yeah, Rowling received many questions about how to pronounce Herione's name... One of the characters in my own work is called Aziëlla, and it confused a lot of people in how to pronounce that name. Dutch people would pronounce it right... Az-yell-lah.

Hmm... Death is not necessarily dark. And in the end, if you show Harry in the end used all three Deathly Hallows wisely (the cloak loads of times, the stone only to get conforming from his loved ones before sacrificing himself, and the Elder Wand only to repair his first wand, which Hermione broke when escaping Nagini).... It's just that the Deathly Hallows attracted Dark Wizards that makes it easy to take them for something dark, but none of them could use the Hallows wisely or understood their true nature.

Yeah, Bonnie and Clyde is a story that always got me. But it was rather I showed that picture as misjudging can also mean you see people for good, while they may not be as good as you think. Bonnie and Clyde, did a low of awful things you cannot justify. I have however heard some stories about Clyde in particular that makes that you shouldn't judge him so harshly as his crime record may make you do.

In a certain way Harry suffered the same way as Krum. Harry was revered, even exalted as "the boy who lived". But how many people KNEW the boy who lived? In Harry's case, his fame even worked against him when he chose Dumbledore's side when Fudge denied Voldemort's return (which was in Harry's case only an obvious thing to do, since he saw what Fudge denied). The "two trio's" (Harry, Ron, Hermione as the primary trio and Ginny, Neville and Luna as the secondary trio) actually knew the boy and could therefore foster friendship with him. None of them treated Harry as a celebrity. Maybe this also enabled Hermione to take Krum for what he was... She already befriended a celebrity after all... Although she was not so proper in her judgment about Gilderoy Lockheart, as she kept defending him, until the very moment he was exposed for a fraud (while it was obvious from the start he was).

Of course, the biggest lesson Rowling has taught us about judging people may be Severus Snape.

"Prejudice is the child of ignorance."-William Hazlitt.

The premise of the Deathly Hallows comes from dark beginnings, but it is the manner they are used that really counts. Voldemort wanted to use the Hallows for evil therefore of course they would be regarded as wicked! But Harry, the Chosen One, used them to save the Wizarding World from destruction, like you said. And it did catch the attention of many cruel wizards, like Grindelwald and Voldemort.

Yes, both Harry and Krum ran into the same problem of fame, and in the Goblet of Fire, they have a chat right before Barty Crouch, and I think it hints that they have more in common than they think. I would like to see a story revealing Krum's background, and what Durmstrang had been like for him. You're right, Harry and Krum both undergo similar affliction during the books. And Harry's friends were the most help during his suffering. Ron, Hermione, Luna, Neville, and Ginny were all there to help him. Even when Harry wanted to face his problems alone, his best friends wouldn't let him fight by himself. At times in the book, I would be frustrated at Harry because he would lament how they all didn't know his pain, and he wouldn't want to let them die for him. Harry would have died in all seven books if one of his friends hadn't helped him.

Snape is definitely one of those characters who you can't love and you can't hate. He died for Harry and the greater good, but he would constantly abuse his students and was a jerk. the message is clear though: You can't judge a book by it's cover."

Harry was to Snape nothing more than the living reminder that the only woman he truly loved chose another man, and not just any man, but the man he loathed most of all men. And yet, it cannot be said he completely was without feelings for Harry. When he found out Harry had to be killed by Voldemort when the time came, he was angry with Dumbledore and felt himself betrayed. Maybe he did sense a bit of Lily in Harry after all. Of course his last words were "Look at me". This was because Harry had Lily's eyes and Snape wanted to see those one more time before passing away. "Sometimes I think we are too quick with sorting people in their houses"... Snape did show himself the man Gryffindor would have been proud of to have in his house. Snape is the kind of character that makes me doubt my own writing skills as Rowling did pull off quite a masterpiece of a character there. Of course, I should not compare my work to hers.

Speaking of judging too soon.... We haven't yet mentioned loony.. I mean Luna Lovegood. I love that girl... really!

In some way, I feel bad for Snape. He lost everything and everyone he loved, and even when he would try to make things right, people would still loathe him. Snape was like every house morphed into one person. He was quick-witted in desperate times, he was brave in the face of danger, he was loyal to Lily, and, most of all, he was ambitious to prove himself to those he loved the most: his family, friends, and Lily. J. K. Rowling said that the real reason Voldemort was vanquished trying to kill Harry was partially Lily's sacrifice, but also a vow that Snape had taken with Voldemort not to kill Lily. Sure he could kill James, but not Lily. But when Voldemort killed her, when he tried to kill Harry, the vow came back to him, and he was defeated, for that time at least.

I love Luna. She's absolutely amazing, and she's so kind. She never judges you for who your parents are or where you came from, but she wants to be friends with you. I liked in the Deathly Hallows, Harry was heading up to the tower alone, not listening to what his friends said about it until Luna spoke up. He was very surprised and even a little afraid of her at that moment.

Luna was more intelligent than you would credit her for (well the Sorting Hat obviously did, since she was sorted in Ravenclaw). It was also amusing how Dobby came to like her, because she addressed him as "sir". And it was absolutely heartwarming to see how Olivander didn't lose his mind simply because he was locked up with Luna who managed to cheer him up. And indeed she's very loyal to her friends and even more socially skilled than you would initially think. And indeed, whoever is nice to her will get her friendship in return, making her perhaps one of the wisest characters of the franchise. Luna does show the courage of a Gryffindor, the loyalty of a Hufflepuff and the intelligence of a Ravenclaw. Slytherin is the only house I can't fit her in. Of course of the two trios, she's the only one who was not sorted in Gryffindor. She was also the only still living person to give her name to one of Harry and Ginny's children (Lily Luna Potter), which clearly shows the impression she left on Harry and Ginny.

A funny thing about Luna to note is that when I saw The Half Blood Prince in the theatre I noticed people in the audience laughing at Harry when he attended to one of Slughorn's parties with Luna as his date who had to suffice as "someone cool". Actually for me it was not something to laugh about. I think Luna fits the bill for "someone cool". I like people who dare to be different and who do not care about what others thinks about it, and given the rest of Luna's personality, yeah, she's cool! Definitely.

There was no way the Sorting Hat could put her in Slytherin! She did have attributes from all the houses though, not regarding Slytherin. When I watched the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 the first time, I couldn't help smiling when she called Dobby "sir." And Luna saved Ollivander from madness, like you said. As time takes its toll, all of Harry's friends begin to lose hope except for Luna. She always believed that they would conquer the darkness. She, who had been bullied all her life for being different, believed that they would stand up to those who steal your happiness and joy and make you feel like you don't matter. Aside from Dumbledore, yes, she is one of the smartest people in HP. And Luna is very cool! Why should Harry lie to himself, and bring someone not as cool as Luna? Why blend in when you were born to stand out?-Dr. Seuss

Indeed... If I met a woman like Luna for real, yes, I'd date her and hope she could be my girl-friend... I mean what more could I want from a girl. Friendly, loyal, courageous and bright, and extremely supportive when you need it. And her looks ain't so bad either. She always means well...

And indeed why blend in when you were born to stand out? Words I also live by myself :)

I love that quote. It's one of my favorites!

Yeah, if had to date someone from Harry Potter, I'd have to do a bit of a mash-up of people because there are certain attributes I like in a guy that some men in HP, but others I actually like don't have those traits. I would want a guy who looks like Cedric, but has the character of Oliver Wood and the nobility of Neville. (Neville is definitely one of those underrated characters.)

Neville is surely underrated. He did show himself a true Gryffindor when he dared to confront Voldemort. It's not that odd he stood out so well in the "secondary trio" (along with Luna and Ginny). Now I don't remember him saying it in the novels, but how he said to the Death Eaters in the Hogwarts express: "Hey, losers! He ain't here!" was worth a million. I can relate to Neville in many ways though. And I ain't surprised he eventually became the Herbology Professor at Hogwarts.

I like how J.K. Rowling gave him the Herbology job. It adds to his character.

Although, some things said by some people in the books were said by other people in the movies. Like in the Order of the Phoenix. Ron found the prophecy in the Department of Mysteries in the book and pointed it out to Harry, but in the movie, Neville found it. I'm not dissing Neville about anything, but since Ron is Harry's best friend, it would only seem right if he found the prophecy that would help his friend learn who he is. And in the Prisoner of Azkaban, the line "If you want to kill Harry, you'll have to kill us too" was originally Ron's line, but they gave it to Hermione in the movies. It made Ron more of a cheerleader than Harry's best friend, and it made Hermione more perfect than she was.

Umm...
Not for mee

Oh dang my eyes

Well perhaps you should see a ophthalmologist?

Stop that is not Ok
