I still say the most unrealistic part of Harry Potter was that there wasn’t a scene where Hermione found 16 year old Harry in a shopping cart on top of the Astronomy Tower while 16 year old Ron stood by with Colin’s camera because if the prophecy says that he has to die via Voldemort then that means nothing else can kill him ergo there’s no way this could possibly go wrong…

1. Hermione does not need the extra stress, she’s already a frazzled mess from her academics, poor kid.

2. Suddenly I realize how very much JKR (and, admittedly, a lot of the rest of us) have forgotten about being teenagers.

But, we all know Slytherins get involved too. Mainly because Draco has the mindset of “anything potter can do, I can do better!” (he can’t) 

But, I’ll it would take is for Harry to say is “scared Malfoy?” 

and there Draco is in a shopping cart next to Potter ready to race down the astronomy tower 

“DRACO EVEN IF HARRY IS RIGHT IN HIS ABSOLUTELY DAFT INTERPRETATION OF PROPHECY, THE PROPHECY DOESN’T COVER YOU”

“LEAVE IT, Granger, I’m DOING this”

“HE’S DOING THIS HERMIONE”

Y E S

THESE ARE THE QUALITY ADDITIONS I WANT ON MY POSTS!

Hermione is desperately trying to remind them that “can’t die” doesn’t mean “Can’t break every bone in your body!” but the carts are already rolling.

They’re halfway down the tower before she thinks to wonder where they got the shopping trolleys.

Well… I attended Juilliard… I’m a graduate of the Harvard business
school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and
had a pretty good time during that. I’ve seen the EXORCIST ABOUT A
HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE
TIME I SEE IT… NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU’RE TALKING TO A DEAD
GUY… NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK? You think I’m qualified?

its really weird to see all these articles about how people who have ADHD have sleeping problems but the issue I have is that if you look at it as a matter of your circadian rythym being out of sync? of COURSE you’re not going to be able to sleep. we don’t say people who can’t fall asleep at 4 pm and sleep 8 hours have insomnia, because that’s not a normally agreed upon time to sleep and its not your bodies time to sleep. if you tell someone to go to bed at 10 and they can’t sleep till 3 am sometimes in just not insomnia. people with ADHD are often wired to sleep from 4 am to 12 pm ish because of the delayed onset of melatonin but if you let us go to bed at the time we need? most of us actually sleep pretty well and consistently.

wAIT THIS IS AN ACTUAL THING THAT EXISTS

“For most adults the onset of melatonin is around 9.30 pm; in ADHD children compared to controls this occurs at least 45 minutes later, and in adults with ADHD even 90 minutes (van der Heijden ea, 2005; van Veen ea 2010). After melatonin onset, it normally takes 2 hours to fall asleep, but in adults with ADHD it takes at least 3 hours (Bijlenga et al, 2013).”

Look at me awake at 1:47 am and reblogging this post.

So I’m actually trained in therapy for addressing insomnia and one of the things we learned is that a good chunk of sleep problems are societal disorders – as in they WOULDN’T EXIST as problems if society didn’t assume everyone was on the same circadian rhythm and that being up and working 9-5 was mandatory/normal. Blew my mind and made so much sense. You are not the problem, society is literally the problem.
