Toonie me!

The preceding thread had originally been published on #Twitter at xcancel.com/shot_hand/st...

Firstly, #Enid had beaten up Tyler near the end of season 1, while in the end of season 2, she dug up #Wednesday from the Skull Tree.

That is how good a friend she is!

Enid, however, is very different from Tyler, in that whereas Tyler is a (literal and figurative) monster who tries to kill Wednesday, Enid is a kind person and an excellent friend to Wednesday.

Heck, just as Harry had rescued Ginny from the Chamber, so too had Enid saved Wednesday's life... twice!

...they both have strained relationships with their parents; and as many of you, including @employedhamster.bsky.social noted, Enid and Tyler even *injured* themselves in similar ways during their fight at the climax of the season 1 finale.

By contrast, we have #EnidSinclair.

She has her own "strange likenesses" with Tyler: both can transform into large creatures; both are very closely involved with #wednesdayaddams, to the point that both are widely considered to have or have had potentials to be *love interests*...

By the way, even the fact that Gates was motivated to attack Nevermore because of Crackstone's anti-outcast history is similar to Riddle's motivation to attack the Muggle-borns: prejudices held by the villains' ancestors!

...yet just as Riddle's diary memory needed to possess Ginny, then attempt to suck out her life force to gain a physical form, so too did Tyler need to manipulate Wednesday so that Laurel Gates could use her blood to resurrect Crackstone.

Tyler and Wednesday.

This moral lesson on choices can easily be applied to #wednesdaynetflix, since season 1 of this show is very similar to CoS: #WednesdayAddams, like Ginny, spends her first year being pulled into a plot against her classmates.

She trusted #TylerGalpin, just as Ginny had trusted Tom Riddle...

The Sword of Gryffindor.

The fact that the Sorting Hat had provided Harry with the Sword of Gryffindor in order to slay the Slytherin basilisk proves that Harry belongs to Gryffindor House, since the Sword only appears to worthy Gryffindors.

The same page as above, zoomed in.

Despite having "resourcefulness, determination, a certain disregard for rules", and other Slytherin characteristics, Harry's *choices* make him different from Tom Riddle.

Recall that Harry *told* the Hat to put him in Gryffindor.

Pages 352-353 of "Chamber of Secrets". Pay attention to the lines I underlined.

Even after destroying the diary and rescuing Ginny, Harry was so disturbed by this comment on "likenesses" that he conversed with Albus Dumbledore on this.

His response? Yes, he *does* have some characteristics worthy of Slytherin House, but he is *different*, too.

The same page as above, zoomed in.

After a few minutes of gloating, Riddle's diary memory then says something interesting: he and Harry have "strange likenesses": they are "Both half-bloods, orphans, raised by Muggles", they are both Parselmouths, and they even *look* similar.

Pages 316-317 of CoS.

These parallels ultimately come to a head when Harry seeks to rescue #GinnyWeasley from the Heir of Slytherin... who turns out to be the "memory" of a younger Tom Riddle, aka Voldemort, in a diary that had been manipulating, then mind-controlling Ginny.

The same page as above, zoomed in.

Even Harry himself, despite knowing full well that he didn't attack anyone, is left disturbed by the idea that he could be descended from Salazar Slytherin, especially since he cannot prove he *wasn't*.

Harry also remembered what the Sorting Hat had said a year prior.

Pages 196-197 of "Chamber of Secrets"

Likewise, #ChamberofSecrets has many examples of such parallels.

When it is discovered that Harry is a Parselmouth (one who talks to snakes; usually used by Dark wizards), his classmates speculate that he is the "Heir of Slytherin" that had been attacking Muggle-borns.

Page 121 of "Philosopher's Stone"

...because Harry's wand happened to have a feather from the same phoenix that provided the core to Voldemort's wand.

Likewise, the Sorting Hat tells Harry that "could be great" in Slytherin House.

After Harry tells the Hat "not Slytherin", he gets sorted into Gryffindor.

Page 85 of "Philosopher's Stone"

Throughout the first two #HarryPotter books, various characters have repeatedly drawn parallels between Harry and his arch-enemy, Lord Voldemort.

Already, when Harry bought his wand from Mr. Ollivander, he enthusiastically proclaimed that Harry will do "great things"...

Hello!

Recently, my #Twitter mutual @Wenclair007LFC shared this Dumbledore quote from " #HarryPotter and the Chamber of Secrets ":

"It is our choices [...] that show what we truly are".

On that note, I decided to write about how this quote explains #wednesdaynetflix... 🧵

#wenclair #hinny

Since MSM isn't hammering this message daily... I will:
