yo treasure planet was literally the best 2d disney film ever made like the setting? the colors? the flawless transition? the gorgeous world building? the three dimensional characters? a main character who’s never pressured to get into anything remotely close to romance? complex relationships? an antagonist who has layers to his character? the soundtrack? i could go the FUCK on,
PLUS THIS SCENE?
AND THIS????
We’re all just suckers for lonely heroes accidentally acquiring a dad.
remember in goblet of fire when minerva says ‘potter’s a boy, not a piece of meat!’
imagine harry telling her everything after the battle of hogwarts, telling her about how dumbledore raised him like a pig for slaughter, and how he had to die and mcgonagall gets so goddamned mad
she loses control for the first time that harry’s EVER seen and she’s actually yelling, she’s so pissed that harry was seventeen and he had to accept death and dumbledore KNEW he would have to die and NEVER TOLD HIM
and harry’s about to cry because yeah his friends would be devastated if he was gone but NO ONE got this damn pissed that dumbledore had raised him so that he could die at the right time and mcgonagall’s in the middle of a rant and he just shoots up and hugs her and she’s stunned into silence but after a moment she hugs back and it’s great
and then she goes up to her office and starts screaming at dumbledore’s portrait because ‘i don’t care if it had to happen, albus, he is a CHILD-’
This is the Minerva McGonagall content we deserve, and make no mistake, we were robbed
I still think it is telling that when we first meet Minerva, she:
Was waiting all day out in the cold for the mere chance of knowing Harry might be alive
Has been crying because James and Lily are dead and she loved her students, while the rest of the wizarding world is celebrating.
Tells Dumbledore not to leave Harry with the Dursleys. in fact she’s even shocked he would suggest it.
So in just a few lines of dialogue we see Dumbledore is eating candy, asking McGonagall why she isn’t celebrating and saying Harry can’t be with another family because the ‘fame’ would get to his head?
while McGonagall is waiting as a cat against a cold wall all day, hoping to get some information that her dead student’s child is ok. she’s going through shock and grief. And Hagrid arrives, sobbing for Harry too. Minerva is actually very emotionally tied to Harry. Which is why she cries when he and Ron visit Hermione in the hospital. She loves her students.
