This moment when Lupin watches Harry catch the snitch really gets to me because I imagine he’s thinking of James.
Lupin had pulled out a book and was reading (…) James was still playing with the Snitch, letting it zoom further and further away, almost escaping but always grabbed at the last second.
Getting a little nostalgic now. I’m so grateful that I’ve been able to do so many weird and wonderful things in the Harry Potter fandom. I’ll never forget the time Nat Tena told me that she’s a cunt. I’ll miss it all
“Steve turned to me while food was being ordered and said quietly, “You know who my favorite character is?” I looked at him, red hair included, and I thought: You’re going to say Ron. Please, please don’t say Ron–Ron’s so easy to love. And he said: “Hermione.” At which point, under my standoffish, mistrusting exterior, I just melted, because if he got Hermione, he got the books. He also, to a large extent, got me.” — J.K.Rowling discussing her relationship with Steve Kloves
Red Vines, what the hell can’t they do?
“It was probably around the time of the fourth film when I kind of started to realise that I was Harry.” —
And on that day the previous four years of Daniel Radcliffe’s life finally made sense to him.
The very first time I saw you Harry, I recognized you immediately. Not by your scar, by your eyes. They’re your mother; Lily’s. Yes, I knew her. You mother was there for me at a time when no one else was. Not only was she a singularly gifted witch, she was also an uncommonly kind woman. She had a way of seeing the beauty in others, even, and perhaps most especially, when that person couldn’t see it in themselves. Your father, James, however, had a certain, shall we say, talent for trouble. A talent, rumor has it, he passed onto you. You’re more like them than you know, Harry. In time you’ll come to see just how much.
- Remus Lupin.
