      That’s in the book. Grimmauld Place has the preserved heads of all the Black family elves hanging by the door. During book 7 when Harry and gang are hiding there, they put Santa hats and beards on the heads for Christmas.

      These are supposed to be the good guys.

        Yeah, there are parts of HP that are deeply fucked up, come to think of it. Thanks!

      Shaun has a takedown of the entire series on his channel, and this is one of my favorite parts:

      so our heroes decide to decorate their decapitated slave heads with little Christmas hats…

      now I’m gonna need to hit pause here, next to the Christmas slave heads, and ask: what is happening right now… why are the Harry Potter books like this

      not my absolute favorite quote either. long video but definitely recommend; even Shaun’s extremely dry delivery breaks at a couple points: https://youtu.be/-1iaJWSwUZs
