HOW I READ HP

lukeylupin:

Rowling’s Harry Potter was straight, white, and cis. 

In other words, boring and heteronormative as fuck.

Here is how I read the characters in Harry Potter, regardless of authorial intent.

Harry - bi-racial (White/Arabic), bisexual, cis, hair that knows no bounds

Hermione - bi-racial (White/Black)  (i read her mom as black and dad as white like Lena from the Fosters??) cis and straight (ROMIONE hello)

Ron - straight cis white dude, but i still love him

Ginny - bisexual ginger chick with a badass short hair cut

Neville - white (but is open to any skin color really), asexual chubby guy with crooked teeth

Luna - pansexual white girl with huge eyes and actual dirty blonde hair

Draco - white cis gay guy, what else?

Remus - cis gay man, white, very skinny and scarred

Sirius - bisexual, mixed race (maybe some asian decent in the family), cis

Tonks - Non-Binary Queer person who HATES Nymphadora since its too gendered for them, usually dons boy clothes and THATS why Remus was into them after Sirius’s death

McGonagall - badass black lesbian lady who is secretly married to Madam Hooch, another amazing lesbian

Dumbledore - cis gay male, despite Rowling’s FUCKED UP reading and writing of his character

Dean and Seamus - totally gay, totally in love, and totally the best couple in the series

Charlie Weasley - queer guy who falls in love with beautiful black man and they raise baby dragons together

The Black Family - I like the read them as having some Asian decent in the family, as I said before, but more in Sirius’ immediate family and less in Narcissa’s side

White is NOT the default

Straight is NOT the default

Cis is NOT the default
