Have you ever stopped to think about the friendship of Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes and how it relates to Harry Potter? Well I have so here is my thing.
Bucky Barnes is a sad character who can’t remember his best friend. But you know what he reminds me most of? Sirius Black. That’s right, I’m about to make the friendship between Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers even more upsetting.
When you look at the two of them, they’re childhood friends who needed each other when no one else could help them. They were always there for each other until they weren’t. So why do we love them so much? Because they are tragic in a way that James and Sirius were.
They were separated by something completely out of their hands and they’re trying to figure out their lives after it. In the case of Bucky and Cap, Steve thinks that Bucky is dead and has to grapple with that until his best friend comes back.
So maybe they’re actually a mix of James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Sirius Black. Just friends who go through a lot together and have to try and find ways of coping. Or maybe I just personally love boys being friends trying to figure out life together even when life is crazy.
And if that’s the case, then it definitely works with Bucky Barnes and Steve Rogers. And I like to think that if they existed in the same universe, these characters would all get along. But alas, we’ll just have to dream of what a scene with these random characters would be like. Just a bunch of friends who probably love each other a little too much.
