I can think of...

  • Albus Dumbledore
  • Minerva McGonagall
  • Percy Weasley
  • Myrtle Warren

Any others?

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct :)

She's dead. Coincidence?

[-] Lemjukes@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

I mean two of those aren’t students in the film series and I can’t remember Percy’s face with glasses. Agree on Myrtle for sure.

[-] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

He does specify student, but still certainly not the only one wearing glasses.

Man this thread is not a strong showing for the reading comprehension skills of the community.

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Especially since the source material are books written for young adults.

Of which the original crop would be not-so-young adults by now.

It's clearly because there's a common spell that corrects vision but everybody thinks Harry's just making a statement or they're too embarrassed to point it out.

[-] Maultasche@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

That's what happens if you remove Percy's glasses.

[-] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

One of my glasses wearing friends noticed the same thing at a 45000 people festival in Amsterdam. He was the only one.

Drugs make eyes go vroom?

!Trelawney!<

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

His eyes were probably damaged in the same attack where he sustained that cool scar.

filius flitwick and minerva mcgonagoll

you're right, so here is a possible quick-thought solution:

his muggle parents wouldn't have known that its possible to fix eyesight with magic (you can regrow bones or suddently make them vanish, right?) so he was the only student with limited eyesight who "needed" glasses. later he got used to it and didn't even ask (not sure if that was discussed once) and maybe the teachers wear them for the effect only, but thats weird as glasses should be muggle artefacts - or not?

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Harry never had muggle parents. They went to Hogwarts.

[-] smb@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

i'm sorry to have used the wrong word, i just happen to not know the english phrase and didnt look it up either before sending. i meant the "family" where he grew up.

[-] TwentySeven@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

He was raised by muggles though

[-] smb@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

i think she didn't wear them often, but here it is

[-] Lemjukes@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago
[-] x4740N@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Well technically she's an past student if she went to hogwarts in the past

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago

A past student is different from a student obviously. If you want to pull the "technically..." thing, you've got to go for something like "she's a student of life."
