POTTER COLOURS hiatus update.
Hello again! This is just a brief update regarding POTTER COLOURS’ hiatus — since the last announcement, I’ve run into laptop issues that are going to require replacing the thing entirely, but that won’t happen for another two weeks at least. In the meantime, I still have access to a netbook that I can borrow at times, but it’s not especially conducive to tumblr-ing...

POTTER COLOURS is on hiatus!
Hey, everyone! I’m really sorry about not getting around to posting an announcement about this until now when I should have done it much earlier, but POTTER COLOURS will be on hiatus from now until most likely after the holidays. We’re definitely not even close to exhausting a lot of material we have lined up and ready to go, and I’ll see if I can get a queue going possibly, but...

Really? Someone put that Zayn kid from One...
draconispotter:
I can see quite clearly what other black Harry Potter fans are saying when they think whitewashing is occurring. I looked it up and it says Zayn is of Pakistani descent. It was a nice attempt, but I would still prefer if people would stop picking white/super light skinned actors with straight black hair and thinking that makes them look like a child of African descent.
I’ve...

“The mother, Kendra, had jet black hair pulled into a high bun. Her face had a...”
– Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 11 (The Bribe)
While there is no confirmation as to whether Kendra Dumbledore is Native American/First Nations/indigenous or not, we are posting this excerpt due to the recent discussion regarding her race, ethnicity, and ancestry, and if anyone wanted...

GlossyCanon: Helga Hufflepuff
glossylalia:
Hailing from a small village on the Gower Peninsula, Helga Hufflepuff was the pureblood daughter of farmers, though she wasn’t born there; her parents had come to the Gower by way of a Roman founded market village in the eastern part of the country. They felt it best to move Helga and her sister, because, as the town grew, so did the anti-wizard sentiment, they and other...

The Nubian Witch: Kendra Dumbledore was an... →
msqueenly:
I agree with the commentary herein but I still have issues with JKR’s portrayal of Kendra through Aberforth and Rita Skeeter, which in my opinion promotes the idea that indigenous women are deceitful traitors and all have secrets, like it is talked about Sherman Alexie’s poem “How to Write the Great American Indian Novel”:
If the hero is an Indian woman, she is beautiful. She must be...

toneyspeaksloud:
zorawitch:
I do believe this. Why? Harry thought she looked like it, and it explicitly mentioned “Native American” and we all know Jo never mentions a physical qualifier without there being a reason for it. Perhaps Kendra was half Indigenous half European. Still Indigenous. Indigenous genes are strong like that. Strong enough to the point where Harry thought she was full-blown...

I'm Irritated By The Lack of Diversity In Role...
dahlpengee:
I’ve gone through eight Harry Potter Role Playing Tumblrs so far. And out of those eight Tumblrs that have at least ten to twenty characters, making between 80 - 160 characters total…I’ve seen twelve Black characters and about a handful of minorities. Nine of those Black characters come from the same tumblr.
I understand that certain canon characters (Godric, Rowena, James,...

I’m not trying to be racist or anything it’s just a fact. At the time there was not a substantial enough population of any ethnicity other than white ones at the time in England. Not to mention GO LOOK AT THE PICTURE THAT’S AT THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRYPOTTER! SHE’S WHITE
You may not trying to be racist...

If you can write fic about Draco being a cat person. Then I can write fic about Helga being a Black person.

More Founders headcanon
ouiser-boudreaux:
So I was thinking it over and I’ve got some headcanon images of the Founders, because WHO DOESN’T THESE DAYS.
Godric Gryffindor:
Yes, ASkar is pretty as hell, but he looks like he could fuck your shit up with a goblin-made sword and Won’t Give A Fuck.
Helga Hufflepuff:
If you don’t think this is perfect, and the PERFECT image, then you crazy. Angel Coulby plays warmth...

George and Angelina
guardyoulikeahorcrux:
The way I see it, Angelina and Fred went as friends to the Yule Ball. They were friends from Quidditch, they got along… She loved both of them as friends.
But after Fred died, she was grieving the loss of one of her best friends. And she knew that his twin was hurting too. George was her friend as well- she worried about him and wanted him to be alright. So she comforted...
