Relating to the Dursley trauma thing, I think that he was raised on the belief that his emotions were taboo and he couldn't express them because Vernon and Petunia were so afraid of his magic. That led to him never learning how to express his emotions, which is viewed as an "angry teenager."

I know Sirius wasn't the best traditional parental figure, but he's the one that works best for Harry. Harry tended not to trust authority/adults due to his years of abuse. Like for example I'm sure he loved Molly (and she was very good for him and was a huge positive influence in his life), but she wasn't the one he was writing to about his scar hurting, and obviously had trouble talking about personal things with Dumbledore (eg. OoP). Since Sirius is kinda immature, but also an adult figure, he feels comfortable telling him things because he doesn't coddle and at the same time feels like an adult who will care for him. So Harry really needed someone like Sirius to be his go-to-person. If he didn't have Sirius, he'd have just never confided in anyone except his friends. In general, different kids need different types of parental figures. There is no one answer.

I do agree Rupert Grint was the best actor in the trio. The others are great but Rupert has the most consistent acting quality through the whole series. I wish they hadn't given a lot of his moments to Hermione because some of them would have been really strong in the films. I'm imagine Rupert delivering the line in PoA where he gets up on his injured leg to sheild Harry and says "If you want to kill Harry you'll have to kill us too!" It would give chills and would be such an iconic moment.

It kinda fit Dumbledore’s character, particularly in the 5th and 6th books where he was plunged into the action more frequently. He became more rough around the edges when he needed to be, asserted his power. Like how he rushed into the Department of Mysteries battle with a furious expression and solo’d 9 Death Eaters before toying with Voldemort. Or how he was pretty stern with Harry for not getting the memory from Slughorn. Dumbledore knew what was important and would put his foot down when he needed to. And Gambon did great on that scene in OotP, but I wish they kept in one line: the one where Dumbledore said (I’m paraphrasing): I could go to Azkaban and break out, but quite frankly that would be needlessly tedious and a waste of my time, so no, I will not be coming with you.” It was such a crazy flex that Dumbledore knew how easily he could escape Azkaban even after telling the authorities he would.

If Lily's parents truly are secret wizards then they probably were just killed by Death Eaters. Which kind of explains why Harry had to go to his horrible uncle and aunt instead of his grandparents who loved magic and also would've given Harry blood protection which was the sole reason Dumbledore gave Harry to Petunia

30:24 The malfoys only turned against voldemort at the end because they lost all of their power and respect after the end of the 5th book. voldemort was punishing them by giving draco the task of killing dumbledore which would like get him killed, he took over their home, took lucius’ wand which humiliated him, and he forced them all to stay inside their house after letting harry escape. THAT IS THE ONLY REASON THAT THEY DIDNT CARE IF VOLDEMORT WON
@EltaninMalfoy 9 ай бұрын
To me, the Malfoys always seemed to be very very down-to-earth and rational family in comparison to let’s say Blacks. For them, it’s what song is popular today, they’ll sing along. Grindie last month, Voldie yesterday, Dumbie today, Harry tomorrow- whatever. The song will change, the Manor’s almost a thousand and still standing. And that’s important for the family. My own headcanon is that Voldie has always hated Lucius and the Malfoys in general because he needed them much more than they needed him. Cause let’s face it, he may be so talented and what not, but who’s paying for his champagne? He’s got nothing, literally. So yes, the Malfoys will be all talk about pure blood and blah blah blah but only because it favoured them. But who’s Lucius real friend? Snape, a half-blood (I’m pretty sure that was not a secret between the two)

Quite frankly the Malfoys were horrible people who only were held back by being complete and incompetent cowards.

That said, I think half the students in hogwarts could have been continuously tourtured out in the great hall, and she would have been happy about it, so if it were not in her interest to stay law-abiding, she could have been as bad as voldemort. In many ways, she has some of the Hitler vibe with the whole "half breeds" thing. Her and the death eaters are very alike, it is just that their way of achieving things create very different limitations.

My biggest problem with Hermione and SPEW was the stupid hat knitting thing she did in book 5. For someone who is suppose to be smart and logical as she stated in book 1 about most wizards not having much logic compared to muggles. She really thought making clothes for them and hiding them around would set them free. If thats how it worked every elf would be set free just by doing their masters laundry. Also, the fact that only the Head master can set any of them and they have to give them clothes with no intention of keeping it. Which is how Dobby utilized the loophole when Lucius threw the sock in Dobby's direction and he caught it. She also really thought she was successfully freeing elves every night despite something like that would be noticeable if the working elves numbers dropped so low but just assumed she was freeing them and kept making more.

Yeah in that same way I feel like Ron was severely underused in the series in general and I wonder in the movies changed anything tbh. I know it doesn’t work like that, but setting up the whole chess thing, I feel like he could’ve been given more stuff that he excelled in and be more of a strategists but they didn’t really do anything with him that could’ve added way more. I do like Ron working in WWW though; but not because that he quits because he’s tired of the fighting or it’s not for him or whatever, but I see it as his character to maybe see that George is struggling and decides to help him instead because that’s who he is.

Family is the most important thing to Ron. And showing the children, that their emotional stability is more important than the greater good and Ron's own job shows the importance of sacrifice and Ron as an overall character. I keep thinking back to the short story Rowling wrote about the world cup and how so many people still don't understand the importance of the scene where Ron saves Al and all Skeeter can do is look on in disgust because she can't comprehend that Harry trusts Ron with the life of his son, completely and totally. That he doesn't even bat an eye when he is in danger because he knows RON is watching over him. Love is the most undervalued and underestimated thing in our society today. And Ron embodies that.

Also, I think her only having a 4 year quidditch career goes against her character somewhat. I’m more inclined to believe that she would have wanted to make sure she was one of the best players in the world, determined to win many trophies and break records. Rowling should have given her a long and successful career for both the Holyhead Harpies and England, with either her having kids a lot later than she actually did, or having her make a comeback following a period of maternity leave. Her post series actions were quite lazily created imo.

Although with the first part, I’m not as bothered because I don’t think should’ve necessarily been closer to the trio than she was.

24:19 to be fair for Sirius, he was basically a child fighting a war against Voldemort and one of his best friends betrayed the others getting them killed, which he was then framed for. He spent the next 10+ years in prison, fighting a battle of wits with dementors only to escape, thinking he’ll be able to clear his name, just to have to go back into hiding. Plus, he grew up in an awful family that showed him no love because he didn’t share their values and he was disowned. He had no time to grow up and learn how to be a good parental figure because he really didn’t get to experience adulthood or get a chance to even TRY with Harry. He had so much to battle through and had no time to do it because he was thrust right back into the thick of the war (even if he was cooped up). He wanted to be his best for everyone to prove himself I feel like he could have been a better parental figure if he would’ve been around or if he would’ve had time to work through his issues.

I agree, he was pulled into a war just after he graduated from Hogwarts. He didn't get as much time to grow up then. And when he was 21, his best friend and the closest thing he had to a family died and he was blamed for it. He was put in Azkaban, to relive his worst moments over and over for 12 years. He didn't really have time to mature. He was basically a traumatized 21 year old in the body of a 33 year old. And if he had more time with Harry, he would have learned and had the potential to be a great parental figure to Harry.

The one about Slytherins being loyal to their own is actually a Slytherin trait. Hufflepuffs are loyal to their friends. I am a Slytherin and looked into all the traits, not just cunning and ambition. A big Slytherin trait if fraternity. This basically means a strong brotherhood/sisterhood, loyalty to their own. So that take was correct.

I’d even go on to say it’s the triad of loyalty, community and respect for traditions. The questions are, of course, loyally to whom and what kind of community and traditions. It’s never written anywhere, but if you look at all the Slytherins, they all show these traits. The Blacks are a great example

The worst thing she did was when she almost used the Cruciatus Curse on Harry. Pretty terrible thing for sure, but you have to put it in perspective. Greyback was biting children to ruin their lives/kill them, of which he did not care what happened. He said Hermione looked “delicious.” Even other Death Eaters were disgusted by him. And Voldemort killed/attempted to kill babies with no remorse, including Harry himself. He murdered countless people and tortured them too, including using the Cruciatus Curse probably 5-6 times on Harry. Bellatrix and Crouch Jr tortured parents of a newborn until they became human vegetables. Umbridge does not compare to that level of evil.

Dolores isn't the worst villain in the sense that she's the most evil; she's the worst in the sense that she's _real_ . Dolores Umbridge is the sadistic, cruel, incompetent teacher most of us have had. She's the authority figure who abuses authority. She's the imposter who puts on a polite façade in front of superiors and only shows her true colors to subordinates. She's a character grounded in reality. She's relatable. Evil in a sense that most of us have probably encountered in our lives. Unlike Voldemort, who's evil on a grander scale, Umbridge is more personal. _That's_ what her makes the worst villain on the franchise.

Book 5 she was probably at Grimmauld Place most if not all of the summer but for winter break she was with her parents for about a week before going to Grimmauld Place. Book 6 she spent the 1st couple of weeks with her parents then went to the Burrow. Book 7 we don't know how long she was at the Burrow. We just know it was before they got Harry late July, but we also know she went home to alter her parents minds. We just don't know if she spent time with them 1st.

Looking back on Book Three, I think there was a minor missed opportunity. When Harry runs away from the Dursleys, fearing expulsion, I feel that he should've gone to Hermione's place via the Knight Bus instead of the Leaky Cauldron. There, he could've spent some time with the Grangers similar with the Weasleys in Book Two, and the Grangers would have had more time to be properly fleshed out. Furthermore, he could've had a back-and-forth with Hermione about what to do, etc, and this would have foreshadowed that he and Hermione would spend more time together as we see in the third act of both the book and the movie, similar to how Harry's time with Ron in the first act of book two foreshadowed how they would have more time together in the third act. A minor nitpick, but it could have more storytelling potential.

The comment about Snape going after the Resurrection Stone is so galaxy brained because when we learn of the Deathly Hallows in the tale, we can see right out that each artifact had a person trying to get what happened in the past.

Harry had the cloak, which in time showed that he was willing to great Death without fear, just like the youngest.

He would also be a very nice teacher and since he has such inconsistent ones it’s him giving kids what he didn’t have, it would also allow him to keep working with Neville, imagine kids talking about them “omg they saved the WIZARDING world” then they are just so cute and nice and are big softies, and they compete to be the best teacher and they talk shit about snape together and how it’s not that hard not to emotionally and verbally abuse children!

one of my biggest fears in middle school was my history teacher. I'd be losing sleep, have nightmares, and shake when entering his classroom... he ended up being one of my favorites and highly respected teachers a couple years down. It was a mix of terrible social skills, lack of confidence, and shyness in me and a strict sometimes standoffish teacher... I think its why I love Snape so much, I see so much of that teacher in him

in a 7 book continuing series there is bound to be some dry required reading . Details and spells that were introduced 2 books before hand were used in the later action filled episodes. Just like the follow on webpages and books that explained back stories histories and details filled in what was missing from the original . The first book was a children's story. You wouldn't expect to find quantum physics level instruction inside it . Story telling after Deathly Hallows can focus on adult to near adult subject themes

In the movies, yes; there’s an aversion to exploring Harry’s dynamic with the Weasleys and the Harry/Hermione relationship is heavily forced. In the books, Harry loves this family and wants to be a part of it, but Ginny really struggles with expressing herself around Harry (ergo why Hermione suggests she date other guys to build her confidence). Their relationship is meant to be a satisfying end to their arcs; Harry wanting a place to belong and Ginny finding she can be herself around the man she loves.

I think if JKR could have wrote their relationship better, no one would be questioning their relationship as much as they do. The movies do not help in that regard, as you have much less of them. But still, she could have given them a bit more time before Dumbledore's death, maybe stretching it into OotP, and I don't think there would be anywhere near as many people upset by it.

My hot take is that Hedwig's death doesn't make any sense in the movie. Harry was so irresponsable for letting her out in the first place when the Death Eaters perfectly know how Harry's owl look like. The real Harry would've never done that. And it doesn't make sense that she appears in the middle of the battle, how did she know there would be a fight? And how did Hedwig know who was the real Harry she had to protect? There were seven Harrys in the air, there's no way she knew who was the real one. The book version makes much more sense.

And that also during a war and when his enemies fully aware of Hedwig.

@StevenTLawson 9 ай бұрын
That why I hated Cursed Chud, because in the 7 books it is said that you can't use a time turner to go back more than five hours. This would be a perfectly good explanation why people didn't use them because unless they were getting information in real time it would take too long to learn of something, figure out when and where it happened and then ensure you had a plan to act on was just not feasible. CC deciding you can go back decades just shits all over the conflict
@filip_aleksander_moen 9 ай бұрын
The problem is the way time travel works in the Harry Potter series. If you go back and change something, then that thing has already happened. It is very confusing, but basically that means that if Voldemort would have returned, and you knew that to be true, there was no way you would succeed. Since it hadn't happened in your current existence. We see this in the Patronus scene btw, if you didn't quite remember.

I absolutely LOVE Snape. But as in how brilliantly that (very bad indeed) character was portrayed by Alan Rickman. Ron comes from a *fiery redhead!* family and is used to his still very much loving parents bickering all the time, so to him that must seem normal. That's what he has with Hermione too. For some people and couples that is just their way. Some even say that this kind of relationship is the most passionate one! So it doesn't mean they don't belong together. In fact I think it shows they are similar within relationships, so they DO fit together very well. I agree that *THE STORIES* got darker with each book as the characters and readers got older. But... My biggest pet peeve with the movies is that they made the movies *themselves* look darker and darker and with less and less colour. That took away the "magical" feeling the first two movies had. I mean, with all the bad and horrible things happening in the world today, we still see colours and light as normal, don't we? So why make the later films so dark you could hardly even see what was happening anymore, and big parts of the last one are just totally black & white! :(
@corywalker8551 9 ай бұрын
I love this type of video! Thank you! This is a lot of fun :-) I like that you touched on how Ron's family treated a they were a good and loving family, for sure, but they did treat Ron kind of bad and second-hand so they were not perfect. And Molly shouted a lot which isn't great. The weasleys were dynamic rather than perfect. The elder one is definitely more relevant for a significance rather than how it was used. I love that the one actual major feet of magic we see it do is a super simple first-year spell where Harry repairs his wand.
@sawanna508 7 ай бұрын
I guess parents with so many children can't be perfect, because even parents with three or four children are sometimes over whelmed and make mistakes. And they have mostly boys and the age gabs between them are pretty small. Twins are always a challange too. So Molly had to take care of four toddlers all at once for most of the time when they were younger.

The way I look at the roles of books in the series are these: Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone: Introduces the series Chamber of Secrets: Sets up things that are important in the series later on (ex. Dobby, Polyjuice potion, the horcruxes, Ginny, the dark tone, etc.) Prisoner of Azkaban: Shifts the series into a darker tone plus expands upon things like more classes and the Quidditch Cup Goblet of Fire: Lots of worldbuilding (ex. house elves, other schools, three unforgiveable curses, etc.) and also sets up plots (ex. Fred and George's joke shop, Dobby being at Hogwarts, Fleur and Bill, Rita Skeeter, etc.) Order of the Phoenix: Character focused (ex. Harry's trauma, Harry teaching what he's learned to other students, Luna introduced, Neville's willingness to fight, Ginny's determination, McGonagall's dedication to Hogwarts and lack of fear of Umbridge, Sirius's past with his old home and his family and his treatment of Kreacher, etc.) Half Blood Prince: Establishes the dark times, sets up or further explores relationships, goes into the origin of Voldemort and how he rose to power and how to beat him, explores Snape and Draco Deathly Hallows: Tests the main trio, reveals Dumbledore's scarring past and him not always being depicted as good, explores Snape's past, ends the Wizarding War and the series with the final battle

22:30 Sirius yelled indeed "I would have died rather than to betray my friends", and yes, he's the kind of guy who can make me believe he would. I think that made Sirius actually the worst choice to be the Secret Keeper. The Fidelius Charm has a weakness. When the Secret Keeper dies, everybody who knows the secret becomes the new Secret Keeper. It would have been all to easy for Voldemort to find somebody who could betray the secret after Sirius had been killed. This is also shown in The Deathly Hallows. Dumbledore was the Secret keeper of Sirius' house, but with him gone, and Snape knowing the secret too, and everybody believing him to be on Voldemort's side, it was no longer a safe place to HQ The Order Of The Phoenix. This was also the reason why Mad-Eye Moody took the trouble to set up a spell to repel Snape should he ever turn up there.
