Ok, but the Potter kids call Andromeda, Nandromeda and you can't change my mind. Because Teddy calls her Nan, and Harry and Ginny call her Andromeda, so little James gets confused and it sticks.

Opinion on the names of the Potter children

{RANT}

So, I hate the original names for Harry and Ginny's children, Jk Rowling really fucked up with the names (she fucked up a lot of things). So, I want to show the changes I would make to the names and why. Please note, I'm not really a Harry Potter fan of any sort, I've never really been a part of this fandom, so take everything I say with a grain of salt.

James Sirius Potter - Altair Sirius Potter - - - I don't have any qualms with his middle name being Sirius, as it is obvious that Harry and Sirius were close and Harry would obviously want to honour his godfather. However, I'm not a fan of his first name being James, due to the fact that Harry's middle name is already James, so his father has already been honoured through Harry himself. Also, I'm not a fan of children's first names being the names of other relatives, as it takes away their individuality as a person and in this case, makes the character less recognizable, as you have to say the middle name for people to recognize who you are talking about. So, I've chosen to name him Altair, because Altair is the name of a constellation and means "flying eagle", suggesting he is free spirited, already giving the audience an image of his character. It also further honours Sirius as his name is also a constellation.

Lily Luna Potter - Diana Lily Potter - - - Let's start with her middle name. Luna, nothing wrong with the name. I've heard people say it is supposed to represent Remus, due to the moon association, which I think is sweet, but has some issues with it. There is already a character called Luna, and when I first read the book I thought that is who the child was named after. Also, again, same thing as before with her first name, I get Harry wanting to honour his mother, but I don't think it should be her first name. I think Lily should be her middle name instead, so Harry still gets to honour his mother while also not taking the child's individuality as a character. I've chosen her first name to be Diana for several reasons: Diana means divine and was the name of a Roman goddess of many areas, one being the moon. So, we still have that moon correlation for Remus while also giving the child a unique name to represent her to the audience.

Albus Severus Potter - Anthony ???? Potter - - - This one is a lot, which is why I left it for last. This kid's name has a lot of problems. Both his first name and middle name are the names of other people. Also, why would Harry and Ginny ever give their child the middle name Severus? What, because he was secretly protecting Harry? Ignoring the fact that he was an absolute prick to Harry every time he had the chance, along with mistreating and basically bullying many of Harry's classmates (eg. Neville). He was unnecessarily cruel to literal children due to his own issues, and despite his last minute sacrifice, I don't believe he deserves to have a child named after him. Also, Albus. While the name itself is nice, I know a lot of the fandom hates Dumbledore due to how he withholds things that could have assisted in ending both Wizarding wars faster and because of the way he used the people around him for his own gain. However, we should take into consideration that Harry probably wouldn't realise this, and Albus' mistreatment is nowhere near as outward as Severus' was, so maybe Harry would want to respect and honour the greatest wizard of his time by naming his child after him. So, the child's name, first name I chose to be Anthony because it means "priceless one", which I think helps build up this child to be of importance to the audience for when he becomes the next main character in Cursed child (I know nothing about cursed child, mind you). Also, again, it makes him stand out by having his own unique name, which is important for characters, especially a main character. However, I'm unsure of his middle name. On one hand, it could just be Albus, as I have said before that Harry would most likely want to honour the greatest wizard who he most likely thought was like a mentor to him, someone to look up to during his time at Hogwarts. However, I also would like to remind you that Ginny is also the mother of this child, wouldn't she maybe want to also honour someone she holds close herself. Like, maybe her own father (I know he's not dead)? I would say her brother Fred, but I think there is already a child named after Fred, the child of George, although I am not sure. Or do you think that she would agree to the name Albus, since she most likely also saw Dumbledore as a powerful wizard who protected them and was worthy of respect. Maybe there are other people that Harry and Ginny held close that they would want to respect, friends or family they've lost over the years.

I would say name him after Remus, but along with their daughter's name being a correlation to him, I would imagine Harry would want to keep this name to Teddy Jr, since Remus had been his father.

Do you have any suggestions or opinions? Maybe different ideas for names of these characters?

As a children's librarian, people who harass fans of Harry Potter indiscriminately really worry me.

Here's why.

1. The majority of Harry Potter fans are children.

I've had people call me disgusting and scum and an embarrassment to my disabled community. I've been suicide baited and have received death threats. All of this can be heavy enough stuff for an adult to deal with.

And then I think of how most of my 700+ elementary-aged students are huge Harry Potter fans. Because, you know, Harry Potter is a children's series. And they also have access to the internet and social media like TikTok and YouTube.

Now imagine the stuff that's been said to me being said to a kid. Because Harry Potter's main audience are KIDS.

2. This black-and-white mentality isn't healthy.

Very few things in life are cut-and-dry good vs bad. And if you employ this kind of thinking in one area of your life, odds are you'll apply it to other areas too(more on that in a moment).

And people who go out of their way to harass people who like Harry Potter don't seem to particularly care about any context beyond "If you like Harry Potter in any way whatsoever you're scum".

It hasn't mattered when I've pointed out that I absolutely and unequivocally think Rowling's TERF views are awful and scummy and wrong. It hasn't mattered that I try my best to consume the content only in ways that won't monetarily support her, (which kids typically can't do, btw). It hasn't mattered that it's literally in my job description to keep up with children's media to procure content for my patrons as well as to be able to hold conversations with them.

3. Saying "You're not allowed to read this without being harassed" is no different from saying a book should be banned.

This is ironic, seeing as the people doing the harassing are also often up in arms about queerphobic and racist book bans (as they should be) while demanding book bans of their own.

Because in their all-or-nothing way of thinking, book bans are only bad when the "bad" people do it.

No. Book bans are always bad, no exceptions.

Book bans aren't bad because they're banning the "good" books, they're bad because banning access to different ideas is always bad. Because every book has a lesson to teach us (perhaps not the lesson intended by the author, but a lesson nonetheless).

I am so sick of fic writers making 10-year-olds talk like babies.

I work with children and have taken numerous classes on adolescent development. Here's some of what I learned because I might actually kill someone if I read another fic where an older child is essentially a four-year-old. (No hate to anyone in particular. Children are confusing.)

(Slight trigger warning for 13 & 14 year-olds. Puberty/sex mentioned)

(Most info is from Chip Wood's Yardsticks: Child and Adolescent Development Ages 4-14)

Joy glowed from her

Don’t get your hopes up, this is the happiest I will probably manage to draw Severus Snape. Someone mentioned to me here ‘feral Lily and Severus’ and it reminded me of being a dirty, scuffed-knee little kid always collecting worms in jars and picking flowers (weeds) to bring inside.

After all this years, I think the reason I still love the Harry Potter series is because, ultimately, it's just about various abused boys doing the best they can with the opportunities and support they are given, and majorly fucking up in most cases.

The reason I love Harry Potter fanfiction even more, is that it gives those boys the chance to do better, or even just to do it differently.

Also, the porn is good.

What if! The Black Brothers and Rosier Twins were friends growing up. Regulus and Pandora have always been close, but Evan and Sirius use to be close, cause they were the older of the siblings (I headcanon Evan to be the older twin, and that their birthday is before Regulus's), and other reasons, but mostly that. What if a few days before Sirius left for Hogwarts, the Rosiers spent the night, and while Reg and Dora were asleep, Sirius made Evan promise to watch over Reggie while he was gone. What if Sirius told Evan that it was his responsibility to watch over Dora and Reg now that he was gone at school, just like how Bellatrix told Andromeda, who told Narcissa, who told Sirius. What if that's why Evan and Reggie, initially, became best friends? They were obviously friends before, but they weren't super close until Sirius left. What if Evan was just as devastated as Reg when Sirius came back for Christmas holiday and realized he had changed? What if that made him resent Sirius a little, what if seeing Regulus be hurt by it as well made him resent him even more? What if, despite Evan resenting Sirius a bit, he still tried to be his friend (cause I believe they were each others first best friend that weren't their siblings)? What if Evan convinced Regulus and Pandora to find Sirius on their first train ride to Hogwarts, because he wanted to sit with him? What if when they found him, he was already sitting with his Gryffindor friends and was mad that they had come to find him so he took them out of the compartment and told them, in French, that they weren't kids anymore and they don't have to follow him everywhere he goes, that he has his own friends now and doesn't need them pestering him, what if that's the first time Evan thought he hated Sirius? But what if, despite hating Sirius, he still followed his orders of taking care of Reg and Dora? What if that's (part of) the reason why he joined the Death Eaters in the first place, so he could take care of Regulus? What if Regulus saw Evan more like a big brother than Sirius after Sirius left him? What if that made Sirius hate Evan? What if they both died hating their first friend?
