What if instead of gilly weed Harry had showed up to the black lake challenge in muggle scuba gear like “like where’s your advanced magic now bitches? Got me a free fishing knife with this thing”
Honestly I just want an AU where Harry approached all his magical problems with muggle solutions. Nobody knows how to handle it because he’s supposed to be there learning magic but you know what, it fucking works.
Give me Harry Potter who is like fucking MacGuyver up in this shit, creating his own non-magical solutions to magical problems.
“Potter how did you get past the enchanted keys to the Sorcerer’s Stone?”
“I used a fucking net.”
“How did you get past the dragon?”
Harry shines a little red light on the wall “works on cats, why not a dragon”
“How did you get through the hedge maze?”
“Weed-b-gone, it’s like a pound. Nothing will ever grow there again”
It’s the final battle between Harry and Voldemort. The Dark Lord begins to prepare a spell to end Harry Potter’s life once and for all when….
Reblogging because this is funny and the gif is perfect.
This is how I imagine all the modern day muggleborns solve their problems, like they’re having a hard time with herbology, so they just head over to the room of requirement think “I really need a place where my damn cell phone is going to work” and the room makes it happen, then they go in, and call their gran and be like “hey can you send me like, a standard gardening kit? Thanks gran” they get it, and like all the various muggle science made things make herbology loads easier. A muggleborn kid decides they want to help Madame pomfrey in the hospital wing, and they notice she has to brew these really complex potions to help students with like, colds or allergies or whatever, they just write home and be like “hey, dad, can you send me like, 3 boxes of NyQuil and Claritin? Thanks” and then they show Madame pomfrey how the muggles fix illness.
a group of muggleborns all over the world start teaching the pure bloods at their various schools about the Internet and suddenly there are a bunch of Reddit threads called shit like r/potions and r/transfiguration where they’re all helping each other figure out how to do their homework and r/hogwartssecrets where they all start finding ways to screw with the stairs and create new secret passages and a special wizard version of ratemyprofessor pops up.
a small group of muggleborns who went home for Christmas all got those little BB-8 droids for Christmas and then used magic to make them sentient and repainted them to be unique and now there’s a bunch of witches and wizards walking around hogwarts with ball droid familiars
I suggest Harry Potter and the Methods of rationality tbh
