Why did you use spoiler tags?

For organizational purposes.

Dumbledore has glasses in the books, right? Plus Myrtle. And Rita Skeeter. But I can't remember if they also had glasses in the movies. Myrtle's a goddamn ghost, though - your eyesight really carries over to that?

It's been a while, but weren't Rita's glasses enchanted and not actually for correcting vision?

I don't recall any mention of her glasses being anything special, no.

Trelawney wears absolutely massive coke bottle glasses in the movies.

Edit: now realizing the meme says "student"

[–] Plastic_Ramses@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Alright yall.

Myrtle is the only "student" who wears glasses in the movies. But shes also not currently a student as shes been sucking dirt for a long while now.

What about the "Didn't know you could read" line?
