12+ Things We Noticed About 'Harry Potter' As Adults

I mean, they enter Hogwarts as 11-year-olds, don't you think you want to teach them some, like, math or something? No? Just gonna learn how to float a feather and turn your pet into a cup, huh? Sure, practical.

This is probably more apparent in the earlier stories than the later ones, but Harry would've been long dead if it weren't for the genius of Hermoine and the "idgaf" attitude of Ron. I think that troll would probably have just clubbed him to dust.

Roll call! Okay, we've got Godric Gryffindor — brilliant. Rowena Ravenclaw, oh, very smart, wonderful! Helga Hufflepuff, so full of love, this is great! And you, sir, in the dark cowl that's billowing black smoke and surrounded in snakes...you're in too! Now let's go teach some kids.

I mean, this dude Remus was a straight-up werewolf! I get accidentally letting some guy in who has the dark lord of all evil attached to the back of his head — we all make mistakes — but a werewolf? Okay.

Don't tell me that her seductively picking food out of Hagrid's beard doesn't get hotter and weirder as time goes on. I'm just glad they cut the scene short.

There's just something about love potions that doesn't seem, I dunno, consensual?! It's not a "fun little prank," ya gross ol' Weasley boys.

According to Pottermore, J.K. Rowling said that Ron's character would definitely swear, but of course, this is a kids' series. The example is from The Prisoner OfAzkaban when "he called Snape something that made Hermione say 'Ron!'" instead of just blatantly calling him a [also redacted by Diply's editor].

He's a villain and all, but hiding out in an 11-year-old boy's pocket is next-level creepy. Plus, he apparently showed up on the Marauder's Map, so why didn't Fred or George catch on to this skeezebag?

Capital punishment is one thing, but this just seems cruel and unusual. Oh well, might as well have them patrol the school with a ton of young kids attending. What could go wrong?

I know that most of it comes from the bad guys doin' their thing, but they really don't want to pause school much for anything, huh? I bet the poor kids don't even get snow days.

Sure, it's mostly the antagonists of the story who own house elves, but the fact that slavery isn't just abolished across the board is way messed up.

Harry, you're going to be the savior of the world and will one day need to sacrifice yourself to stop Voldemort — it won't be easy. In the meantime, we'll drop you off with your abusive, magic-hating family for the summers...uh, enjoy!

Forget cameras and doublespeak, the ministry just uses magic to keep tabs on everyone and sentence them as soon as they break a rule.

I'm sure I'm not the first to point this out, but it seems like Hufflepuff is a house dedicated to gettin' it on like Tommy Chong. Majoring in Herbology? Bet.

Being sad in your own bathroom is one thing, but actively jumping into a tub someone else is bathing in or popping out randomly in an occupied toilet — cool your jets, ya thirsty ghost!

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I'm sure Arthur Weasley has a Muggle gun that he doesn't use or know what it does — just borrow that and bam! Roll credits.
