jk rowling calls draco a bully and shames fans for romanticizing draco when she romanticized severus snape, the grossest and most disgusting character she ever created.
“I hesitate to say that I love [Snape]. [Audience member: I do]. You do? This is a very worrying thing.”
“It’s fun to write about Snape because he’s a deeply horrible person.“
“You shouldn’t think [Snape is] too nice.”
“Is [Snape] a hero? You see I don’t really see him as a hero. He’s spiteful, he’s a bully”
WAIT ACTUALLY ONE MORE THING. Calls him a bully?
“You know how I think they choose people for the Gryffindor team. It’s people they feel sorry for. See, there’s Potter, who’s got no parents, then there’s the Weasleys, who’ve got no money — you should be on the team, Longbottom, you’ve got no brains.”
“Five
because I don’t like you, Potter… Weasley, your shirt’s untucked, so
I’ll have another five for that… Oh yeah, I forgot, you’re a Mudblood,
Granger, so ten for that”
‘I’m surprised all the Mudbloods haven’t packed their bags by now,’ Malfoy went
on. ‘Bet you five Galleons the next one dies. Pity it wasn’t Granger…’
‘Hermione’s a witch!’ Harry snarled.
‘Have it your own way, Potter,’ said Malfoy,
grinning maliciously. ‘If you think they can’t spot a Mudblood, stay
where you are.’
‘And there’s the picture, Weasley!’ said Malfoy,
flipping the paper over and holding it up. ‘A picture of your parents
outside their house
– if you can call it a house! Your mother could do with losing
a bit of weight, couldn’t she?’
‘You’re
joking, Weasley?’ said Malfoy, behind them.
‘You’re not telling me someone’s asked that to the ball? Not
the long-molared Mudblood!’
‘Missing your half-breed pal?’ he
kept whispering to Harry, whenever there was
a teacher around, so that he was safe from Harry’s
retaliation. ‘Missing the elephant man?’
“Malfoy was
being absolutely foul to a first-year back there. I swear I’m going
to report him, he’s only had his badge three minutes and he’s using
it to bully people worse than ever…”
‘We wanted to write another couple of verses!’ Malfoy called,
as Katie and Alicia hugged Harry. ‘But we
couldn’t find rhymes for fat and ugly
– we wanted to sing about his mother, see –’
He is a bully.
