Draco should have been a girl

>>24480486 (OP)

Would've made everything 10x hotter. Just imagine the rule 34

>>24480486 (OP)
No

>>24480486 (OP)
you're right

>>24480486 (OP)
I actually have a theory this was a thing at some point, along with girl Ronald Weasley. The editor said children would not enjoy a love triangle and Rowling had Harry end up with an underdeveloped female version of Ronal

>>24480486 (OP)
There is a lot of subtext in the story that would make girl Draco a problem. Harry stalks him, rips him open in the bathroom, has obsessive dreams and thoughts about him, sneaks into his room, and otherwise does a lot of creepy things

>>24480662
Ron Weasley is intensely male-coded however. He is the goofy Bart Simpson wingman where Hermione is the studious Lisa Simpson wingwoman.
You may be right about Draco however. There's always been a mean girl femininity to him. He doesn't fight like a man.

>>24480670
You're just a fag, anon. Stop sexualizing kids.

>>24480486 (OP)
If Harry Potter was written today, Draco would have been a girl and Harry's love interest would've been her. The enemies-to-lovers cliche is very popular in YA right now.

>>24480486 (OP)
I prefer Daphne Greengrass

>>24480677
He is mommy's sweetest boy and his father is typically absent. Makes sense to me.

>>24480486 (OP)
ngl the enemies to lovers storyline would've been peak, and it would've given the slytherin house the much needed character and development that it lacks in the main story. imagine femdraco and harry infiltrating the ranks of voldemort and the death eaters, rebelling against umbridge and so on in a more effective manner since the slytherins are helping them, as well as co-operating with snape sooner. also would've made a more morally grey story than what we got

>>24480486 (OP)
I agree, although I am very glad he wasn't. It would have awakened negative tendencies in my burgening sexuality

Draco should've been a transgirl

based

>>24481157
It would have been better than Harry marrying the school bicycle

>>24480677
Maybe it was a gay thing then. She wanted Dumbles with a blond-haired dark wizard but it was only after the books were over that she was allowed to make an announcement that would haemorrhage money
>>24482123
What's up with Draco and people finding him sexy

>>24480677
Ginny is a hot-tempered Quidditch tomboy in theory but barely a personality in practice; she seemed like a proxy for Harry marrying Ron. I think there is an early version where they were the same character
Draco could have been the femme fatal that tries to steal fem-Ron's man

>>24480486 (OP)
I prefer to stay away from the world of shippers but "Harmony" fangirls and "Drarry" fangirls were partially right. Both pairings have their backings

>>24480702
Rowling herself once said that the reason Draco has blond hair and Ron has red is that she finds rare hair colors attractive. Make of it what you will

>Malfoy stood on one side, the sunlight gleaming on his white-blond head. He caught Harry’s eye and smirked
>'We’d better get our robes on.’(Draco said) Harry was so busy staring at Malfoy he did not notice Goyle reaching up for his trunk
This is what Rowling wrote. If she switched Draco's gender it would be obvious

>>24482692
>'Don’t kill him! DON’T KILL HIM!’ Malfoy yelled at Crabbe and Goyle, who were both aiming at Harry.
The cliche of the big, possibly abusive brutish boyfriend with the hot girlfriend or wife. Think of what she usually screams when a nerd flirts with her and the boyfriend notices.
There is an early draft where Malfoy is a girl, mark my words

>>24482707
It was just a children's story at the start.

>>24482713
Malfoy was likely a girl in some early draft of the children's book too, he just is coded a bossy girl
>Tattle tale
>Gossip
>"Drawls" all the time

>>24482692
>>24482707
what
the
fuck
._.

>>24482740
I just genuinely believe she changed him to a boy or an editor did. I am not the biggest fan of HP but I always believe this
>“Potter, precious Potter, obviously he wanted a look at ’the Chosen One,’” sneered Malfoy, but that Weasley girl! What’s so special about her?”
>"A lot of boys like her,“ said Pansy, watching Malfoy out of the corner of her eyes for his reaction.

>>24482747
hahahaha
I think you might be right
But they needed to insert the not so subtle natze references, so a boy it was

>>24482740
The first one is the worst one. Harry is so busy gawking at Malfoy getting dressed he misses being hit on the head

>>24482753
Either that or she wanted him to be the gay temptation that Harry overcomes because of some kind of Christian anti-LGBT agenda but the editor told her she would get cancelled

>>24482753
Keep in mind Indiana Jones and a lot of the contemporary stories to when HP was coming out features a beautiful evil Nazi woman as a femme fatal to the protagonist
Harry Potter is very much a 90s series

>>24482765
Although Spielberg had already done the evil male nazis in the first one (and their French collaborator)

>>24482779
Yeah, Dr Elsa from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was the one I was thinking of, Draco even shares some subtle characteristics

The tickling spell scene would obviously be flirty

>>24482740
Some other shit that suggests possibly fem!Malfoy early on
>First person Harry dreams of
>Loves clothes, especially fancy ones
>Stalks Malfoy on the marauders map
>Unicorn hair wand which is usually associated with maidens
>Malfoy wand works for Harry even though wands are supposed to be connected to the wizard
>Harry mentions that Narcissa is a good-looking woman, and that Malfoy has her bone structure (shouldn't he look like his father considering he is daddy's boy )

>>24482848
>And he saw them: Malfoy with his arms around the unconscious Goyle, the pair of them perched on a fragile tower of char red desks, and Harry dived. Malfoy saw him coming and raised one arm, but even as Harry grasped it he knew at once that it was no good. Goyle was too heavy and Malfoy’s hand, covered in sweat, slid instantly out of Harry’s –

>>24480486 (OP)
All characters in fiction should be cute girls. Why would I want to read about boys and men?

that's kinda hot

Harry Potter is intensely and yet very subtlely white supremacist coded.

>>24482674
how is that sexual?

You look like this by the way

I hope you all know that this is going to be on Youtube in 3 months and some major Youtuber is going to make a video about it and his top comment is going to be someone with a trans flag pfp talking about heckin' wholesome Harry Potterino if it wasnt for that "miserable transphobe" (they will use this exact phrasing) Rowling!

they should have given picrel a bigger role and become draco for Hermione.

>>24484138
Girl villain for Hermione would have been kino. Someone ought to write a similar series without the flaws or escapist faggotry.

>What's up with Draco and people finding him sexy
the actor is hot? retard...

imagine the hot steamy hatesex

>>24484151
Most stories fall apart when you give the villains someone actually competent to work with. Even Voldemort lost because he acted like a literal retard several times.

>>24482629
>she seemed like a proxy for Harry marrying Ron.
If you're desperate to see homosexuality in everything you could accurately argue this point.
The reason she paired harry with Ginny is that she wanted harry to have a massive loving family as a happy ending, in stark contrast to his time with the Dursleys after being orphaned. Ginny has a crush on Harry from the very first book so Rowling planned it from the start, Ginny wasn't a stand in beard for a Harry and Ron shipping. I would like to see what Ginny content Rowling had to cut from the books because she's supposed to be a fiery, strong willed, funny, popular, magically talented, super sexy red head that can naturally deal with all of the fame and danger that comes along with being the girl friend of The Boy Who Lived. Except that we don't really get to see much of it in the books and nearly zero of it in the films. In the books Rowling does way more telling than showing when it comes to Ginny. I think a better fan theory would have been Ron and Ginny being the Weasley twins, instead of Fred and George, and that would have made it easier for Harry and Ginny to have a developed romance and for Ginny's personality to actually show, but Rowling wanted her self insert, Hermione to be a main character, and making Ginny incredibly smart and studious, on top of being a star quidditch player, hot, tough, competent duelist, who is both witty and funny would have come off as Mary Sue or manic pixie dream girl material.

>>24484895
>she's supposed to be a fiery, strong willed, funny, popular, magically talented, super sexy red head
Yeah I can see why she cut it..

>>24484902
All of that's still in the book, we just don't get shown much of it. Rowling just tells us that Ginny are those things. She mostly just spends time around Harry blushing, later on her personality comes out, but they are in different years, and don't spend any time around each other.

>>24484935
Spending too much time around a character like that get boring. No one is really like that irl, so it'd come off unrealistic and 'try-hard.' Leaving the "idea" of Ginny was better if she didn't want to spend a lot of pages deconstructing it and essentially turning the series into romance. In any case, femMalfoy would have been a better one anyway.

>>24484941
Yes that's that point I was making, hence the Mary Sue/MPDG statement, Ginny is basically the "I grew up with three older brothers, so I can do anything" trope. I don't really care for girl Malfoy though lol. I think making his rival / second mortal enemy a boy was much better idea.

>>24484952
>I think making his rival / second mortal enemy a boy was much better idea.
Malfoy is barely a rival. He's more of a joke character that gets a bit of development near the end.

>>24484955
Rivals in Quidditch, rivals in influence, rivals in wizard world ideology, Draco activity siding with, and enforcing, authoritarianism and Harry fighting against it. Harry killed his parent's leader, Voldemort, and Draco tries to kill Harry's leader, Dumbledore, in return. There are multiple fights between Draco and Harry, and Harry nearly kills Malfoy in one of them. Draco isn't a gag or joke character.

>>24483948
Not really about race but it is certainly romanticizing old timey British upper class public schools. It's basically 1910 Eton with magic on top.
In reality half the boys there would be buggered by teachers or students two grades older as a rite of passage, told it's a good thing that builds character and feel superior to the peasants (sorry mudbloods) that didn't go through it.

>>24485053
Can't remember what she exactly said, but Rowling did comment on the boarding school worship. Said she didn't like that people tried to use the books as a way to defend or promote boarding schools. So she's definitely aware of the bad history those schools have.

>>24482087
Sounds like some boring shit. Slytherin as an irredeemable house of cunts is kino and Draco's conflict in the last two books is much better when he's not strictly on the good guys side.

Goddamnit, why are the intense male relationships so often written as the faggiest shit ever be it Naruto and Sasuke, Frodo and Sam (in movies) or Draco and Harry? What is their authors problem?

>>24480486 (OP)
I should've been a girl

>>24485053
>buggered by teachers or students two grades older
I begged my father to send me to an all-boys boarding school so I could focus on my studies and not be "distracted by girls". The things I could have done to get my GPA up...

>teaching the young chud women are the enemy
based, but also would never happen with Rowling at the helm.

Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle in an alternate universe:

>>24487827
Holy shit SAUCE??

>>24487827
Three power girls like these used to bully me in 6th grade

>>24487845

>>24487827
I went through that phase too though not the kind where some hot chick bully spit on your thong .it was an abusive relation between my highschool crush and me.She beat me up almost weekly. Slapped my face, smacked my head with textbooks or her wrists, condemned me if anyone so much as glanced our way or near my own friends. Her insults were so vicious that even my own enemies would pity me, sometimes pulling me from her grip. And I never fought back,never spilled a tear. Maybe I was a moron who put women on a pedestal, or just a coward who couldn’t throw a punch in a time where i had to save my dignity.with every hit, my rage grew, yet I remained passive a loser trapped in his own silence. All because a very "good friend" had shared my private confession about her.
awful highschool memory. this webm has only ruined my mood.

>>24482674
That's not sexual, retard.

>>24486536
I know nothing about Naruto and I never found Sam and Frodo homoerotic but in Draco Malfoy's case I think it has something to do with the writer being female and using the female gaze to describe him. She really dropped the ball with Harry looking at him while he was changing.
Alternatively, there could have been an early draft where Draco was a femme fatale villain and it was scrapped so that it could be PG. However, because the author originally conceived him as a girl she kept some of the personality and Harry's behaviour towards Draco sometimes show a ghost of the early draft (like how GRRM wanted incest in Game of Thrones between the Stark siblings at first and Jon sometimes describes Arya as beautiful in his POV).
This last one always made sense because Rowling's other main characters are largely easy to read as male

>>24486536
>>24488148
>Tfw early draft femme fatale Draco actually kind of makes sense
I swear, I could write an essay that proves that Draco was changed from a girl to a boy. Even his behaviour post-canon sometimes seems kind of feminine coded. He stays at home to raise his kid and he gets angry at Harry for suggesting he has aged.

>>24487827
Poor Longbottom

>>24488154
I don't think he was ever a girl. Draco is just a pampered aristocrat. Rowling seems to have opinions on spoiled wealthy people. None of them are depicted as nice people even when they are the good guys, and that included James Potter. She's denied receiving a peerage multiple times irl, she does not want to become nobility because she hates them apparently lol. But that's completely in line with her politics. I think the only reason she didn't do something like move to the states and become American is that she feels like she owes it to the Scottish government for supporting her through welfare and grants while she wrote the book as a single mom.

>>24488215
Some Scottish guys portray English aristocrats as effeminate as a put down so that could be it, but looking through it and noticing some small details it sometimes seems like Draco makes better sense as a girl for th narrative. If it was just how he behaved and the boys called him a fag I would understand but Harry sometimes reacts to him as if he were a woman

The other houses should have had a purpose.
Now its gryffindor:good, slytherin:bad or neutral(slughorn) and the other two are 404 not found.

>>24488227
I want to read what you've gathered.
The previous reasons aren't really selling it to me.
Love of clothes isn't exclusive to girls. Again Draco is a pampered rich kid. Harry stalking him, is because he pretty much instantly hated him on their very first meeting because Draco let it be known he's a wizard supremacist aligned or associated with Voldemort.
Unicorn themselves prefer witches over wizards but it means nothing for unicorn hair wand cores. I think most of the people with unicorn hair wands in the books are men and boys.
iirc there are a few wand swaps throughout the book, people losing their own wands and picking up other's dropped wands in duels. They work well enough for most people.
Sometimes boys look like their moms, sometimes girls look like their dads. I don't agree that it would be an indication that Draco was meant to be Drāca.

>said end has a quiet girl who I make friends with
>turns out to be the most terrifying person I have ever met in my life
>obsessively wants to know my secrets, then uses them as blackmail against me, then she proceeds to viciously bully me, was somehow a worse sadist at 8-9 years old than anybody I've known

>mind gets traumatized and I go from reserved extrovert to full-blown introvert, which I still am today
>teachers notice again, and make me sit in a corner of the class that is far away from my former bullies and actually watch me this time
>I end up sitting next to a girl who used to know me in kindergarten
>Is a sweet soul who liked and listened to me, often comforting me and massaging the marks on my body that were the result of bullying
>sticks by my side even when other friends ditch me under the influence of my former bullies or when teachers take their side as the bullies had clout
>we like each other and even have a case of puppy love going
>unfortunately she leaves the school shortly after 3rd grade ends
>I do well after in school, though the scars remain
>still remember her today, without her I'd be in a much worse place

>>24488358
I kind of want to comply it into a longer doc but off the top of my head
>A word count comparison suggests that Draco is often given adjectives like "glittering eyes" and "sleek" and "shiny"
>similar words are used to describe Fleur, Ginny, and Cho
>Very rarely is it used to describe male characters
>Draco uses mostly clichey feminine bullying, I almost can't imagine him giving a kid a wedgie
>Only time he beats Harry up is when Harry spies on him dressing
>In Prisoner of Azkaban Draco goads Harry into wanting to kill Sirius
>It's needed by the narrative but a bit odd considering Draco is Harry's rival and nemesis, why would Harry listen to him?
>Might make more sense if Draco was a Regina George and Harry was posturing for her considering that's when he enters teens
Addition someone pointed out:
>Draco is given the post-canon ending of taking care of a terminally ill spouse
>British men are notorious for leaving their spouses when they are terminally ill and quickly marrying again while British women are more likely to stay
>JK is a feminist and very aware of sex stats
