    Does anyone have any headcanons for Harry Potter, specifically LGBT+ related? I'd love to hear them!

    Any Harry Potter LGBT+ fanfiction recommendations would be great too!

    I personally love the idea of bi trans boy Hermione! :slight_smile:

    (BTW, if this isn't the right chatroom to put this on, i'll happily remove it and put it somewhere more appropriate!)

    Mine is that Draco is bi and had a persistent crush on Harry. He had no means nor even an idea of how to handle this, so continued being a horrible douche until finally making amends years later.

    I think I'd have to write a sprawling series from Draco's perspective to cover the whole arc, but I'm not at all feeling up to it at the moment. O.O

    Yeah, that's a popular headcanon!! There are so may Drarry fanfics out there, I wish there were a few on trans Hermione TBH.

    I really like the idea of bi Draco though!

    Dean and Seamus got married when Ireland voted ''yes'' to same sex marriage. On the basis that there's no reason mentioned in Harry Potter books to suggest their relationship wouldn't work and the actor who played Seamus announced it.

    I also think that Albus and Scorpius will eventually date/get married or reveal past feelings for each other based on the way they were with each other in CC. This is the reason why I don't ship Drarry, although I think Draco had some feelings for Harry, but I don't think it would happen back then on the way Draco treated Harry and his friends, and I don't think they'd do it now if Scorbus got together.

    There is quite a bit on how the school protects trans and NB students. Creating spells, bedrooms/bathrooms, clothing swaps, using polyjuice potions. Hagrid telling others to be respectful when a unicorn feels safe around transgirls.

    But what I'd like to know is if these protections were around when Harry was at the school, or if they paralleled muggle LGBT right progressions?

    Definitely Dean and Seamus.

    I also headcanoned Dumbledore as asexual (and still do) long before Rowling made the announcement that he was gay.

    I'll always believe that Scorpius and Albus are in love. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:ride:

    I would die for genderfluid Tonks. You can't fight me on this, Tonks is my NB child.

    As for my other headcanons...
    - Harry is bi
    - Ginny is a lesbian
    - So is Luna
    - Draco is gay
    - So is Lupin
    - Sirius is pan
    - Zabini is also pan
    - Ace Neville
    - Bi Fleur
    - Trans Bill Weasley, trans Bill Weasley, trans Bill Weasley (FtM)!

    (Please notice how I'm ignoring several canon pairings; that is totally intentional.)

    Obviously shipping Sirius and Lupin ( although I really like Tonks).

    There are just too many jokes about puppy love lost on that pairing to let it slide.

    There's the whole thing about Dumbledore marrying Gandalf, but I don't know if that necessarily counts, considering Gandalf and all. :lol:

    The joy of this picture is that the house that they are standing in front of is in front of the Westboro Baptist Church :lol:

    I'm here for these headcanons, and honestly, being a secret Drarry shipper has made me hold out for bi/pan Draco and Harry.

    Maybe Sirius being asexual, and Scorpius and Albus seem like they'd be a cute couple.

    My character perceptions have obviously been too influenced by fanfiction and my own incapabilities to understand sex and romance, but here are my headcanons (with entirely too much ace/aro hcs):

    Aro ace Charlie Weasley
    Aro ace Draco Malfoy
    Hetro ace Harry Potter
    Bi Dean Thomas
    Gay Seamus Finnegan (and they're dating)
    Alternatively, Dean and Seamus are in a QPR.


    Biro ace Remus Lupin
    Panro Bi Sirius Black (who had a crush on James, the tragically het guy. Is also in a celibate romantic relationship with Remus :grin:)
    Gay Peter Pettigrew (legit don't ask me why this is my weirdest headcanon I have no idea why I hc'ed him gay)
    Gay Regulus Black
    Gay Kingsley Shacklebolt (it was the earring, obviously)
    Totally agree with above about bi Tonks

    I actually like to think about Remus and Sirius.

    Drarry I ship them!

    I also like to think about Luna and Ginny (I found a picture on Pinterest and loved it!).
    And I also agree with Tonks being bi ^^

    I saw a post the other day which said something along the lines of "I love Drarry shippers. Not the ship itself, just the shippers and the jokes they come up with"

    That's pretty much exactly how I feel about that xD

    Otherwise, Sirius and Lupin for sure! I am also inclined to see Tonks as some form of non binary, and Luna as ace.

    I have a lot of headcanons but one I'll throw out there is bi, trans guy Remus Lupin.
