honestly the harry potter fandom is so wild like we’ve all collectively refused to accept cursed child as canon but some college kids tell us hufflepuffs are particularly good finders and we don’t even question it

I didn’t truly get the whole “death of the author” paradigm until I watched the harry potter fandom collectively divorce JKR

I get where you’re coming from, and, like, I don’t disagree… but Hufflepuffs being good finders didn’t originate in A Very Potter Musical. Rowling said it in an interview wayyyyyy back when (I think around 2007-2008?). She was trying to claim that the HP series didn’t grossly favor Gryffindor over all the other houses.

AVPM (performed 2009) was 100% full of nerds that would have been aware of this and included it in the play to make fun of Rowling’s nonsense.
