i can has an equality?
Yes…yes you can…
In math class.
Sorry.
Cedric can also stop being Edward any time now…
Something tells me can’t and never will.
*kneels in front of the Cullenist shrine* you’ll find better actors and do a better remake in the next 20 years, right? …. Right? 0_0
When Cedric was killed he was bitten by a vampire and changed his name to Edward so that he could play it incognito; unfortunately for him, throngs of teenages girls still thought he was hot and followed him more then ever.
i agree… can someone take him out, as a personal fafor?
Don’t forget about Cho Chang. The resident Asian.
Incidentally, that accent wasn’t put on. Katy Leung is from Greenock.
I mean her character, not the actress who plays her. I would love nothing more than to punch Cho Chang in the face.
Since she’s from Greenock, she’d probably be able to punch you right back.
Oh, you meant Cho, not Katy. Fairynuff.
I don’t know Katy Leung very well, so I won’t judge her physical capabilities, but I doubt Cho Chang would do me much harm, unless Timmy’s theory about hereditary Kung-Fu in Asians is true,
Dunno about Asians, but I believe the theory of hereditary fighing in Greenock is true.
Yep, and with that accent, there is no way that Cho is not from Greenock (or possibly Port Glasgow, but the only way to tell the difference is to look for the boundary signs).
It’s true, it runs in the blood.
not to mention Angelina Johnson (it mentions in the books that she has cornrows, not that that is a *nessacarily* black thing, but it is mostly) and in the movies Dean Thomas, only it never says its one way or another in the books
Actually it mentions Dean Thomas being a black Londoner in the first British book…but the American editors had her take it out
Who even notices dumb stuff like that? Maybe you should see people as people, not as their ethnicity…….
Thank god someone rode in on their high horse to shun us all for noticing the token minorities placed in the Harry Potter films.
You’re telling me you don’t see even the littlest bit of irony in the caption? The lack of ethnic diversity didn’t bother me in the books because 1) it’s England–almost 90% of the people are white [link] 2) not all characters were white and lines of good and evil weren’t drawn up between races 3) non-white characters weren’t identified by their race and didn’t act like stereotypes of their race and 4) there wasn’t any racial tension between the characters. The tension came from bloodlines. Race wasn’t really an issue.
So there’s a long answer to a stupid comment. And I didn’t say using the word black is racist. Nobody even used that word, anyway.
shut up. im not reading that because it’s boring
I got bored writing it.
i also noticed your pic thingie has a monicle lol.
MONICLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Dumb stuff”… oh is that what they call then these days? ^^
Believe it or not, they deliberately put ethnic diversity in the US (not UK) books by stating that Dean Thomas is black, making him “the token black guy” and completely missing the fact that Lee Jordan is black.
I’d say that insisting you stick the word “black” in there is actually racist, since you’re insisting on pointing out the guy is black. If it didn’t matter, you wouldn’t mention it.
The movies didn’t skip over that fact. Lee Jordan has dreds. And Angelina Johnson is white in the movies.
I’m pretty sure Rowling meant for Dean to be Black; and in fact, later versions of the book say so.
And, no, Angelina’s not White in the films. Watch GoF; the girl that Fred asks to dance with him (to show Ron How It’s Done) is Angelina, and she’s definitely not White.
You Unnecessarily Capitalize way too many Words.
Black and white are not proper nouns.
And neither is “unnecessarily”, “capitalize” or “words”.
I believe that is what is termed as sarcasm!! (Or Irony, or something else ending in y
)
Wow.
That is one helluva Duh.
*Crosses fingers that someone corrects capital “Duh”*
*corrects
MONICLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and he started a sentence with “And”.
Angelina was black in the fourth movie
That’s dumb. Pointing out someone is black isn’t racist, it’s descriptive.
TOKEN!
You know I’ve always been to busy picking on Harry and Cedward to ever notice the people in the background… Dude’s wearing blue that means he’s in Ravenclaw right? Sweet.
Well, we all know how racist Slytherins are…
Slytherin: The New Aryan Race
does that make Voldemort the new Hitler?
wow best thread ever
Actually, my friends and I call Slytherin “Hitler Youth”. And in Deathly Hallows when [SPOILER ALERT] Voldemort takes over Hogwarts, he is basically training the students in a way that’s similar to Hitler.
wow soooo many people replying
ya i guess its kinda like Hitler what Voldemort does, except he’s fighting BLOOD not RACE. There’s a difference
The real Downtrodden in PK’s world are the Hufflepuffites. Because anyone who’s interested in cooperation is a loser, right? And it of course makes sense they could never put together a winning Quidditch team, for instance.
“Things I will not do at Hogwarts: I will not poke Hufflepuffs with spoons. Nor will I insist that their House colors indicate that they are ‘covered in bees’.”
I think the Hufflepuffs are downtrodden because they’re the ones that don’t really go anywhere else. In the sorting hat’s song about the four founders in Book 5, it said that Helga Hufflepuff said that she’d “take the rest” while all the other founders wanted something specific.
Therefore, they are the misfits.
Misfits rock.
And if Hufflepuff was for all the weirdos, explain Luna Lovegood. She was the most magnificently weird character and she was in Ravenclaw.
I always thought Hufflepuff was for the ‘moderate’ kids that have some aspects of each of the other three. It is:
Gryffindor: Brave and selfless
Slytherin: Cunning and Ambitious
Ravenclaw: Clever and Curious (I think ingenuity is also in here)
Hufflepuff: Hard working and -insert everyone who is not one of the above-
Luna was a Ravenclaw because she was very curious and she was ingenious- she made a lot of stuff.
Hermione almost was a Ravenclaw, but the hat had her choose and she chose Gryffindor.
“Dude, so let me get this straight….you SPARKLE now?”
“…..Shut up…”
Cedders is so much cuter than Edders.
Cedric: So Voldemort’s minion is going to kill me and then they will concoct an evil plan to reincarnate me as an annoying, whiny, sparkling, genre defying, romanticised, unwashed looking, skid mark of a vampire?
Harry: YES! Just don’t go touching any Triwizard Cups, that’s how the whole horrible thing gets started. And don’t go thinking that the fangirls are a good thing; they’re usually fat, spotty, repulsive teenagers without two braincells to rub together. Or they are pretty airheads who will ruin the sex for you by going “eeeeeeee!” every two seconds.
Cedric: How awful…
Harry: Don’t worry, me and JK are down with it. We’re talking rewrites. You may still be saved.
Cedric: My hero! Let’s go make out.
Harry: Sorry. I’ve already got Malfoy waiting for me in the Room of Requirement.
Cedric: I’m thinking… menage a trois?
Harry: As long as Ron doesn’t find out. You know how jealous he gets…
Cedric: Well just invite him too, and if this doesnt win back the fans to our side then I dont know what will!
Harry: Maybe we can get Hermione and Cho, too. But we’ll have to try and hide the fact that CHO CHANG IS A MAN!!
Cedric: Oh, Hermione’s going to be so upset. You know how she likes the girl-on-girl stuff…
Harry: That’s where Ginny comes in.
Ron: Hey guys, sup. What’s that about Ginny?
*crickets*
That was potentially the weirdest thing I’ve ever read. And I LOVED it.
Yooooouu juuuust freeeeeaking RUINED IT!
::cries:: It was going so well too. I love when a story evolves like that, everyone putting their thought in. Why must people ruin things?
Because people are evil.
O.o
WTF was this thread for?
The same thing this website is for.
Which is?
Let’s resume the story:
Cedric: *elbows Harry* Say something.
Harry: Er…we were just talking about…Quidditch…
Cedric: Yeah, remember that time when I beat you, Harry?
Harry: Yeah. That was some game. I couldn’t walk straight afterward.
Harry: *creepy eyebrow wiggle*
Ron: Dude… you should like be in an advert or something with those crazy eyebrows
Ron, don’t you have some…gingering or something to do?! I’m sick of your dreadful, speckled mug!
[Sorry, that was Harry.]
Ron:…. why must you hurt me in this way Harry?
[Hermione] Yeah, what’s your problem, Harry?
[Cedric] … Where the hell did you come from?
Harry: My parents are dead , my life sucks , I can’t hold down a girlfriend , and I’m surrounded by f*cking goblins and sh*t all the time! I mean what the f*ck?!
Cedric: No seriously, where the hell did you suddenly come from Hermione?
Ron: But it’s magic, Harry! The goblins are MAGICAL!
But there’s plenty of ethnic diversity in Harry Potter…o.O Fred and George’s friend Lee, Angelina, Parvati and Padma, and Cho are the ones that leap to mind first.
In fact, in the books they rarely mention anyone’s race, unless they specifically say “red hair” or “blue eyes” and such. You could fill in with whatever race you want. White doesn’t have to be the default.
Don’t forget Dean Thomas!
Ron Weasley is a racist. He didn’t like Ginny going out with dean because he was black.
DEAN WAS BLACK? :V
only in the movies, he was. *shrugs* It never occured to me that it was Dean when he was speaking in the movies, because I just imagined Dean a Brit like everyone else XP
Point of order guys; they’re all British! It just never occurred to me that Cho was from Greenock because well, why specifically would it?
Actually, Dean was black in the books, too. When he was sorted, he was described as “a tall black boy”.
Two black actors once referred to this as “blackground.”
That is going to be my new word of the week.
They didn’t want to make a film about black magic, I guess.
*snort*
hahahahaha.
How do you guys start arguments over these things?
Like this: Person 1: “You’re racist for pointing out racism.” Person 2: “You’re racist for accusing me of racsim, racist.” Person 3: “MORON you spelled “RACISM” rong!” Person 4: You’re a retard. Person 1: “Don’t say retard!”
And the cycle continues.
Person 5 [me]: “This is a completely incorrect description of the Harry Potter series. Burn the Blasphemer!!”
Person 6: “OMGeeee HP SUXX Twilight foreverrrrrr!!!1!!one!!!11!!!eleventy!!!
Person 2: “Sparkling, gay vampires…blahblahblah…”
Person 1: “Don’t say gay!”
More like Blackround! AMIRITE!?!?
NOURNOT! Read the above comments.
This is gonna sound racist AND n3rdc0r3…but am I the only person who finds it hilarious that in ‘Prisoner of Azkaban’, they are sitting around at lunch, talking about Serius Black (sp?) escaping from Azkaban, the ONLY black student in the group pops up out of nowhere and says, “Yeah, Black could be anywhere’
You mean like…..right where you are sitting?!
Hahah, this comment is a win.
And your Harry Potter nerdiness is fabulous.
[Sirius Black. You're welcome.]
Even worse because it’s the only. line. he has buring the movie.
Actually, he also has another line in the Divinations classroom.
“What’s the grim?”
Token Philosophical Black Kid: “It’s one of the darkest omens of our world. It’s an omen…of death.”
also in that scene you’re talking about, he says the most hilarious line ever: “It’s like trying to catch smoke….like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands.”
*nerdnerd*
I lol’d!
I haven’t read or watched, but that sounds hilarious.
I had a LOL moment when I saw this… I can relate to it well… I’m Asian doing theatre and musical theatre and I sometimes get that feeling that I’m in just to look ethnic….
“…he hath reserved under darkness in everlasting chains, unto the judgement of the great day.
As Sodom and Gomorrha and the neighboring cities, in like manner, having given themselves to FORNICATION and going after OTHER FLESH, were made an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.” Jude, paragraphs 6 and 7.
“But before they went to bed, the men of the CITY beset the house both YOUNG AND OLD, ALL the PEOPLE together.
And they called Lot, and said to him: where are the men that came in to thee at night? Bring them out hither that we may know them.” (This is from Genesis 19, paragraphs 4 and 5 regarding the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha)
There are several references in the Old and New Testaments about the evils of the ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrha. The two referenced above clearly demonstrate that in those cities evils spoken of were not just homosexuality but immoral sexual lusts of several natures. St. Jude mentions fornication (as the type of heterosexual copulation between a man and a woman which is against God’s Law) and going after other flesh. Other flesh is homosexuality, likely pedophilia, and possibly beastiality. In Genesis it is mentioned that Lot’s house was beset by the men of the city, both YOUNG and OLD, ALL the people together. God destroyed the entire city because all of the people were guilty of horrible sexual sin and all of the people included men, women, and children.
Therefore, it is very obvious that where one sin begins, a similar sin of like nature often follows. For example, in a marital conflict, if a man becomes constantly very angry at his wife, this anger can lead to violence and repeated violence can lead to serious violence and serious violence to possibly murder. Immoral sin of the flesh is no different. As humans, we are never completely sexually satisfied and when we over-ride our moral consciouces, we may experiment with immoral sexual practices. Since we are never sexually satisfied, once the “new thrill” wears off, we may again go more beyond our moral consciouces and try even more deviant sex (pedophilia, sadomasachism, beastiality, etc.) This is a twisted psychological state. And unless you are willfully blinded, it is clear in Luke and Genesis that in Sodom and Gomorrha; the people of those cities, at a minimum, were committing acts of fornication, homosexuality, and pedophilia.
In summary, at this time, the world is teaching us and our innocent children that homosexuality should be considered normal, acceptable, and commedable. Soon, unless we all speak up, there will be laws that carry severe punishment for anyone who mentions that acts like homosexuality are morally wrong. Unless we speak up NOW, pedophilia will be deemed, by law, an acceptable lifestyle. We all need to protect our children and if we do not speak up, we will be guilty and responsible for what happens to us as a society and for what happens to our chil
I’m not even going to read all that.
Just stfu.
WTF!
but homosexuality isn’t morally wrong…. Pedophilia is morally wrong and there are cases of priests being pedophiles. Plus, you breed hate which leads to death and murder which is against your faith anyway, so whats the point of this thread? And although I know posting this is stupid because the act of writing it means that you are too close minded to take anything I just said into account… I’m going to post it anyway. *sigh* PLUS there are more cases of straight men having sex with beasts than gay men. Why would a gay man have sex with an animal when he has other men that are willing; seeing as men have a stronger sex drive than women. (there are always aceptions, please don’t burn me because of the last part of this sentence)
if you don’t believe in God, what then are the REAL standards for what’s morally wrong and what isn’t? Beastiality will soon be on the rise of what’s acceptable. *shrugs*
to make a more general statement, I’d say “mankind breeds hate”. No worldview is without its extremists who try to hate those who have differing worldviews, whether Fundamental Islamics, Christians, Athiests…
So you’re saying the only way to maintain order in society is to believe in god? That if we don’t believe in god, we have no idea of the difference between wrong and right?
Thats why I say hate everyone without discerning them from one another. Why complicate the issue with reasons.
I agree with whatever you were getting at, but you ran outta comment room, and I don’t know who brought up the topic XD
so… to sum up what you were saying… “If God does not condemn America he owes Sodom and Gommorrah an apology”, right?
I got to ‘he hath’ and fell asleep.
DUMBLEDORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Snape, Snape, Severus Snape.
what is wrong with you?????? what are you anita bryant??????
Who really cares where willing adults stick willing adults. Pedophiles should be subjected to beastiality on the bottom with a horse.
By the way. You are a douche nozzle!
I had a chrush on him!!!!
I dream about him
every night!
OK, that’s just creepy…
He’s a fictional character, you know. He never did exist.
Haha, this is so true of so many movies and shows! It would have been funnier if it was on a Sesame Street picture. Have you noticed that in a group of kids, they always have to have a black kid, an Asian kid, a white kid with glasses, and one kid in a wheelchair, as they learn sign language, and now they learn Spanish from a sheep… =.= XD
HAHAHA i totally notice the kid in a wheelchair EVERYWHERE! it cracks me up! they feel like if they dont put someone in a wheel chair then they are offending handicapped people or something. WHAT A JOKE.
Not Offending Excluding. To teach our children acceptance of differences, And Tolerence of ethnic diversity every one must be represented. The Fact you notice the child in a chair means two things one your watching sesame street still and your watching sesame street and posting about it online. If you dont have a toddler put down the bong and step away from the television.
What A Fail.
Sure, the movies have Dean… but he doesn’t seem to have a personality at all. Maybe he did in the books, but the movies apparently left that one out.
But he’s in every single movie, but doing absolutely nothing, for -ahem- the obvious reason.
Why is everyone in Hogwarts middle-class?
Find me one character in the films with a regional accent who isn’t a baddie.
Did you actually read the comments before posting this?
I’m actually from a town a few miles from Katy Leung (Cho Chang), and she speaks with her normal accent.
Blaise Zabini (slytherin) and Kingsley Shacklebolt who became the Minister of Magic were also black..
i love how in the movie they make him all tribal african wtf…
does anyone wanna continue the conversation between harry and cedric?
hermione: god cedric do you have to ask that every 2 seconds????? i aparated. yeeeeesh.
cedric: but i thought you couldnt apparate in hogwarts
Snape: What is all this… RUMPUS?!
Dumbledore: Oh, Snape, let the children have their flapdoodle!
Ron: Heh. Flapdoodle.
Hermione: *rolls eyes*
wats rumpus???
Please go away. You’re ruining this. How old are you? Ten?
*sighs* is anyone else sick of straight christian white leads?
Anyway, hysterical and realistic, a bit sad but funny.
i wonder if this was after drugs or before? but hes still hot im srry
Rob Pattinson never did drugs, as far as I’m aware. And, no. He isn’t still hot. He looks like a hobo.
Rob can’t act. O_____________o
WOW!!! EDWARD WAS A WIZARD BEFORE HE WAS A VAMPIRE?!?!?!?!?!how come that was out of the books?
(worst series everrr)
hmm? which series? T or HP? I hate (HATE!!) Hp! I LOVE TWILIGHT!
Which series? Twilight? I hope you mean Twilight.
*takes a deep sigh* Wow I wonder what Rob pattinson looks like shirtless…? MAN HE IS SEXY AS HELL!
Just look on the internet. He looks awful.
No. True, we all go for different people, but just… no.
too bad SOME people like to RUIN hilarious conversations!!!!!
Ron: God hermione! why do you have to be such a know it all!!!!
scratch that.
Ron: God hermione!! why do you have to be so mature!!
there better.
thank you for this information. I hope u ll go on helping us to learn this kind of important issues Eğlence ve hüznün bir arada yaşandığı bir dünya.!!!
accurate caption.
Dang people, I don’t know how, but the content of the comments here somehow has the sidebar ads now recommending gay dating sites for me. How did you get here from ethnic diversity?
And yeah, never really thought about ethnicity when reading the books, I was too focused on the magic ^_^
It’s called sarcasm
Dean Thomas only seems to be black in the US books.
SARCASM DOESN’T WORK ON TEH INTARWEBS!
MONICLE!!!!!!!!!
I think you mean “and neither are.”
