so i know that the point in prisoner of azkaban is that harry isn’t really seeing the grim its just sirius but honestly that doesnt change the facts like 1. sirius’s animagus form just happens to look exactly like the grim 2. the first time harry sees him he nearly gets merked by a triple decker bus 3. the second time harry sees him he falls 50 ft from the air 4. sirius’s friends and family are all dead by the end of the series.
not sayin my man is accidentally an omen of death but he kinda is, which tbh totally works for his brand
Alright, but HERES THE BEST PART: in folklore, a grim is the spirit of the first person to be buried in a graveyard. It stays on earth and helps guide spirits to the other side where they can rest. Why is it a dog you ask? Great question. Because not a lot of people were willing to let their loved ones become the grim, thus it became tradition for a graveyard to be started with a dog that would loyally send people to their afterlife. You know, KINDA LIKE SIRIUS DID WHEN HARRY WAS KILLED BY VOLDEMORT. It also connects well to Sirius’ own death connecting him to the veil THE SAME WAY AN ACTUAL GRIM WOULD BE. Like, the concept of Sirius as a grim not only fits, but actually seems pretty well thought out.
In fact, I might even go so far as to say that Sirius’ animagus wasn’t a dog, his animal form was a GRIM THE WHOLE TIME. After all, it’s the people who loved him who died suggesting that he was gently guiding those he cared for towards a more peaceful afterlife without even realizing it.
Well, I didn’t need my heart today…
