I totally agree. I love every version of these nerds, even when they get treated like shit by their creative medium. Fanfic and RP are how we fix this anyways. And we will always have the books <3

I actually use Harry as a Slytherin in my personal canon for certain roleplays, bc I think it hammers home the "choice over fate" theme more and deals with that obnoxious Gryffindor bias in the books. I also love Cassius Warrington as the Hogwarts champion jn the Triwizard Tournament. I love Cedric, don't get me wrong, but HNGHHHH IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO COOL *.*
