PBS Is Asking Questions About Ronbledore -The Toast

Well, I guess…I guess it’s time to call it. PBS – the Public Broadcasting Service – just filmed a video investigating Ronbledore.

Is Ron Dumbledore?

I don’t need to watch it. I know my truth. But the people – the people are causing change.

Thanks to Connor for watching the skies.

Gaahhhhhhh this is the best.

Apropos of nothing, because I know this is a thread dedicated to Ronbledore and NOTHING ELSE, for which I apologize in advance, this also came across my screen today:

I can't watch because what if they get it ALL WRONG and don't acknowledge basic tenets of this truth, such as handedness and sexuality changing with time travel, my heart would be shattered.

(I'll be honest: it has become such a basic part of my understanding of time travel that if I were to ever write a story or make an illustration involving time travel, I would have to include the change to handedness and sexuality, because otherwise it would be WRONG.)

You folks might want to start offering higher wages to your photoshop monkeys? Just a thought?

So I watched the video, and in addition to confirming that Ron is definitely Dumbledore, it featured a screenshot of a tweet from Rowling stating "I've never seen that one before. Draco definitely isn't a werewolf (and Snape's not a vampire)."

Which of course confirms that Draco is a vampire and Snape is a werewolf. Though I'm not sure that we really needed confirmation, both those things seem pretty obvious.

I need to break out my Ronbledore shirt again.

Can that be one of the new tote bags? I want to spread the gospel about the truth of Ronbledore to everyone.

*pounds fist on table* death of the author death of the author DEATH OF THE AUTHOR

(In all seriousness, this video was pretty good, very thorough and well reasoned. Aside from missing the obvious truth that is Ronbledore.)

I've discovered a newer truth: Ronbledore is a Sith Lord.

This guy speaks so much like John and Hank Green – is this the new "explaining things on YouTube" voice?

OK, OK, OK. I made it about 5 minutes in. Which, I mean, I'm pretty proud of myself actually.

I have a weird, nit-picky thing to add. "False theory." I have never heard anyone, scientifically speaking, actually use the word "false" to describe "theory." (I'm getting some weird internet-y mojo going!) Theories can be proved to be not true, I guess? Or rather, it can be said that there is no evidence to support a theory. Can they be proved to be false? Does anyone else smell something fishy here? There is a difference, though, right? False is not the same as untrue? I had a random idea and I'm sticking with it.

I feel like I've thought about Ronbldore a lot now and it's kinda weird. Maybe it's my age, but I do not understand so much about the last 3 HP books and honestly do not give an f, and my kids are reading and watching and I have so many questions, but again, do not give an actual f. I'm in a weird HP place is what I'm saying.

Long live Ronbledore, though.

It's happening. You know They're worried when They try to debunk something. RONBLEDORE IS REAL and definitely staged the moon landing.

What's the opposite of worlds colliding? I assumed everyone here would be watching Idea Channel already :/ Mike is one of my Millennial All-Stars, along with Mallory and Ezra Klein :3

Watching this video, was anyone else kind of fascinated by the influence Jay Smooth has had on vlog delivery style?

Surely if Dumbledore is actually Ron, then McGonagall is Hermione: Hermione is the best at magic, it is easy for Hermione to use a timeturner because she has done it before, both think Trelawney is a fraud, Hermione knows everything (the excuse "I read it in a book" is just too handy), Hermione is a sucker for the rules, and, lest we forget, both sat with the sorting hat on their heads as they waited for it to decide between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, ultimately deciding on Gryffindor.
