Next Generation at Hogwarts

This post includes what I think the children of the Harry Potter characters were like and what happened to them at Hogwarts. Sorry if some things clash with canon. The ages are mostly made up.

James Potter: (Gryffindor) son of Harry Potter and Ginny Potter, age 12 in the epilogue
James is a lot like his namesake. He is very extroverted and enjoys playing pranks on people (especially his younger brother). He becomes friends with his cousin Fred Weasley and a boy named Tristan Ogden.The three boys call themselves The New Marauders. It is their mission to live up to the legacy of the Marauders and Fred and George. James falls in love with a girl called Violet Jacobson. They start dating in fifth year. James loves Quidditch. His dream is to be Gryffindor seeker like his father, but Violet gets the position instead. James becomes a Chaser in his fourth year.

Albus Potter (Gryffindor) son of Harry Potter and Ginny Potter, age 11 in the epilogue
Albus is quiet and kind and has very low self-esteem. He worries about his grades and that he isn't good enough for Hogwarts. He is uncomfortable with the popularity he automatically gets as Harry Potter's son. He becomes friends with a Gryffindor girl in his year. Her name is Helen Ogden. They remain friends throughout all their time at Hogwarts and start dating in seventh year. Albus is also good friends with his cousin Rose Weasley, Scorpius Malfoy, Gemma Bones and Emily Ling. Albus loves Quidditch, but he doesn't try out for the Gryffindor team because he doesn't believe he is good enough. Albus is a prefect.

Lily Potter (Gryffindor) daughter of Harry Potter and Ginny Potter, age 9 in the epilogue
Lily is a lot like her mother. She's fierce and determined to become a great witch. She does, however, find it hard to get along with people. She gets into a fight within the first week of school. Lily gets in trouble more than anyone else in her year. She is best friends with her cousin Hugo Weasley. In third year she becomes friends with Roxanne Weasley and Hermia Watson. Lily plays Quidditch and plays both Chaser and Seeker at different points during her time at Hogwarts. Lily comes out as bisexual in her fourth year and starts dating Hermia in sixth year.

Rose Weasley (Ravenclaw) daughter of Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, age 11 in the epilogue
Rose is intelligent like her mother, but unlike her mother, she doesn't do especially well in school. Rose finds school rather pointless and dull and she doesn't try very hard. She is exceptionally talented at Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts. Her best friends are Emily Ling, Gemma Bones and Scorpius Malfoy. Rose is also very good at Quidditch. She is Chaser for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team from second to seventh year. Rose thinks she is asexual and aromantic until she falls in love with Gemma Bones. They start dating in seventh year.

Hugo Weasley (Gryffindor) son of Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, age 9 in the epilogue
Hugo is the exact opposite of his best friend Lily. Quiet and shy, he doesn't think he belongs in Gryffindor, but the sorting hat insists. His favourite hobby is astronomy and it is his best Hogwarts subject. Hugo becomes friends with Roxanne Weasley and Hermia Watson in his third year. He has a crush on Hermia.

Fred Weasley (Gryffindor) son of George Weasley and Angelina Weasley, age 12  in the epilogue

Fred plays Beater on the Gryffindor Quidditch team in his fifth and seventh years. Fred is asexual.

Roxanne Weasley (Slytherin) daughter of George Weasley and Angelina Weasley, age 10 in the epilogue

Roxanne prides herself in being the best at Defense Against the Dark Arts in her year. She learns to cast a patronus in her third year. Roxanne's best friend is Hermia Watson.

Roxanne plays Seeker on the Slytherin Quidditch team.

Molly Weasley (Slytherin) daughter of Percy Weasley and Audrey Weasley, age 13 in the epilogue
Molly is kind and helpful. Everyone is very surprised when she is sorted into Slytherin. Molly is fiercely protective of her friends Dominique Weasley, Louis Weasley, Lorcan Scamander and Lysander Scamander and her little sister Lucy. Molly is bisexual. she dates many people at Hogwarts but stays with Lysander the longest. Molly occasionally plays Keeper on the Slytherin Quidditch team. She becomes a prefect and a head girl.

Lucy Weasley (Hufflepuff) daughter of Percy Weasley and Audrey Weasley, age 10 in the epilogue

Astrology and Stuff

This post is just me rambling about random stuff. Please ignore me.

Okay, so, I've never understood astrology. I looked into it a few years ago and it just sounds really stupid. How can anyone possibly think that the stars have any effect on people's personalities? It doesn't make any sense. I was talking to this guy a few days ago who liked astrology. He thought I would too, since I am slightly interested in the Enneagram. But I think it's the stupidest thing ever. Even if you ignore the whole stars and planets thing, the type descrpitons are just really random. You might find a type that describes you most, but what's the point? I won't say anything about you that you don't already know. It has no base. It's random. You might think your sign describes you well. Obviously, this will be true for some people. It's impossible that nobody would identify with their astrological sign. But their are many people whose signs don't describe them at all. Also, I have noticed that people tend to see themselves in a type description if they want to, and they don't see themselves in a description if they don't want to. For instance, a person I know has always thought of herself as an Enneagram type 5. We read the description and she thought it sounded a lot like her. I didn't think it did. I thought she was a type 9. So I read her type 9, but she didn't think it described her very well. The thing is, I think she saw herself in the type 5 description because she wanted to be a type 5. Perhaps it's the same with astrology.

I'm a Taurus. A bull. Lovely. According to a random site on the internet, Taurus people are dependable, persistent, loyal, patient, generous, stubborn, lazy, possessive, materialistic and self-indulging. Here is a list of these traits with notes about how much they describe me:

• Dependable: I think this describes me.
• Persistent: Definitely. I don't give up.
• Loyal: Ha ha, no.
• Patent: Depends. Do I get ice cream?
• Generous: Nooooo.
• Stubborn: Yesssssss.
• Lazy: Kind of.
• Possessive: Not at all.
• Materialistic: I am the exact opposite of this.
• Self-indulging: Not really.

 That's 4/10 traits that fit me (counting the traits that kind of fit me as 1/2)

So, as you can see, some things describe me and some things don't. Let me take a description of a random astrology sign. How about Libra.

• Analytical: Totally.
• Observant: Kind of.
• Helpful:  Definitely not.
• Reliable: Mostly.
• Precise: Depends.
• Skeptical: A bit.
• Fussy: Maybe.
• Inflexible: Yes.
• Cold: Sometimes.
• Interfering: Not really?

5 and 1/2

So, Libra describes me a bit better than Taurus does. Here, I'll do another random type. Leo.

• Confident: I act like it but not really.
• Ambitious: Sometimes.
• Generous: Nope.
• Loyal: I'm kind of like a Slytherin in this way.
• Encouraging: Not unless I have to be.
• Pretentious: Not really.
• Domineering: Well, okay, yes.
• Melodramatic: Not unless I'm angry, which really isn't often.
• Stubborn: Yes.
• Vain: Not at all.

3 and 1/2

Again, some things describe me, some things don't. Taurus describes me no more than any of the others. This is why I don't think Astrology is accurate.

Someone said to me "Well, astrology a lot more complicated than that." Sure, whatever, all I know is that it's based on stars, which I think is stupid. And, also, some people seem to think that if you make something more complicated, that somehow makes it more accurate. I have this problem with Myers Briggs, too. In all the experience I have had (which, I admit, is not very much), I have found that complicated things are not better than simple things but it is in fact the other way around. I think Einstein said it well. "If you can't explain it simply, you do not understand it well enough." I apply this principle to everything, science, math, people. Especially people.

If you like astrology, good for you. I just hope you don't think it's the answer to the universe. I also hope you don't think Enneagram is the answer to the universe, or even Myers Briggs. Every personality typing system is inaccurate. That is the beauty of people, they are too complicated to truly explain. Some people would say "so don't try", but I like to imagine that I understand things, though I never forget that I really don't. I like creating order in the universe. It's fun to look at something random and messy (like a human mind), and pretend that it is something infinitely simple. But it still isn't the truth. And so when I tell you that I am an INTJ, what I mean is not that those four letters completely and accurately describe every bit of my personality, what I mean is that those letters are a way I have found of looking at myself. It is not reality, it is a pair of glasses. I am looking at myself through the lens of Myers Briggs.

So, technically I have just argued against my own point (I do that a lot). I have pretty much said that astrology is just as good as Myers Briggs. Both are equally valid ways of looking at people (ignoring the bit about stars, again). It's just that I personally do not like astrology.

And I think  have successfully made my way back to the beginning of this post and probably also successfully confused you. Like I said, ignore me.

MBTI Character Edits

I made one of these for each type. You may notice that for some types I have included all male characters. I didn't want to do this, but some types just simply aren't often female in books.

Graceling

I just read a book called Graceling, and I really liked it. The characters are interesting and complex. The main character might make my favourite character list. Right now I'm reading the sort of sequel, Fire.
In Graceling, some people have eyes that are different colours. These people are called Gracelings, and each one has a special, unique talent that is sometimes magical and sometimes not. You can, for example have the grace of cooking or swimming but it could also be something like mind-reading. The main characters grace is killing. If I was a graceling, I would like my grace to be writing.

Sherlock Hogwarts Houses Edit

Since there aren't that many characters in Sherlock, I had to use some random side characters.

Percy Jackson Hogwarts Houses Edit

I put the names on in case the drawings aren't recognizable.
