araceil:
It always baffles me when people peg Harry Potter as a brainy nerd. Like, no, no that’s you, the writer, who is a brainy nerd (love you).
Harry Potter was a jock.
Not one of those stereotypical dumb as doorknobs arrogant jerks you see on TV shows and teen-cartoons (because animators were all the brainy kids that got picked on and thus only remember their experiences with jocks negatively). No I mean, Harry was the school’s ACTUAL golden boy jock. Star of his house team, genuinely nice, intelligent, a little thick when it comes to girls and feelings but genuinely well meaning, wasn’t all that interested in books or studying and would rather hang out and have a laugh with mates than do homework. Seriously, Harry Potter was a jock who had a brain, and a heart of gold. Don’t try to tell me otherwise.
