About

Have you ever been reading Harry Potter and thought to yourself, "Well, Quidditch is good, but it could use more eyeliner"?

How about, "Draco might look nice in some ruffly panties" or "Ron Weasley just needs glitter"?

Does Snape wear silk, Harry have a pretty pink bow, and Lucius joyfully French Braid his hair? Do Hermione and Ginny eschew the traditional roles of women and wear tuxes to the Yule Ball?

If so, you've come to the right place. Welcome to Andropotterist, the place where androgynous Harry Potter characters rule all.[4]

The community originally posted bimonthly challenges,[5] including "Fishnets", "Boys in Eyeliner", and "So Goth It Hurts".
