    I loved the ending in the book; it wasn't just the students who fought the death eaters, the townspeople, parents and the house elves from the castle all joined in. There was much more to the ending than in the movie.

      @@NeevTHM It was them realizing they were wrong, which is cool. They were testy for seven years because they foresaw in the stars that Harry would 'die' in the forest, only Firenze intervened in year one. When Harry got hit by Voldemort's curse, the centaurs knew they had misread the stars and were off to amend that. Total redemption.

    In Chamber of Secrets when Lucius and Arthur butted heads at Flourish and Blotts, in the book they ended up having a fist fight after Lucius pushed one too many of Arthur's buttons. They ended up knocking down many books from nearby shelves and the manager had to plead with them to stop. This also gave Lucius the opportunity to slip Ginny Tom Riddle's diary. In the movie their intense fight was omitted and the two just stared down at each other while trading barbs.
    EDIT: Also in Chamber of Secrets, when Ron and Harry were disguised as Crabb and Goyle, they pretended to not remember the password as they went to the Slytherin common room, which was "Purebloods". And during their conversation they discussed where their fathers kept their dark magic artifacts which are contraband. Ron later gives this information to his dad who promptly confiscates Lucius's collection.

    #7 - Also, Harry uses the Elder Wand to repair his own wand before returning it to Dumbledore's grave. That's another pretty important detail. In the movie version of the HP universe, presumably he keeps using Draco's old wand, or maybe he returns that and gets Ollivander to make him another wand like he did with Luna? Might be something on Pottermore about that, I dunno.
    #8 - Cho also defends Marietta, even though her supposed friend sold out Cho too in the process. It's yet another reason why Harry and Cho fail to work out.
    #9 - Not only did the skip the Quidditch World Cup which had the spectacle of the Veela featured as the Bulgarian mascots (presumably Veela are native to Bulgaria, or at least are prominent there), but there was the whole bit with Fleur's father and half-Veela mother who come to help with the wedding arrangements. That's a pretty big aside to have cut out. I recall that he lore is that Veela are actually warm and affectionate sorts, but very passionate, in the sense that they can be quite vindictive when scorned (as they they were by the Irish mascots, the Leprechauns). It's not that unusual for Veela to get into a relationship with a human male and they don't care much about appearance, but more about character. Fleur's father was a charming and friendly sort of fellow but a bit pot-bellied and not particularly good looking, or something to that effect.
    #10 - That was a great little scene. _"He spat at you."_ Harry is just absolutely _livid_ over such disrespect. Someone, somewhere, pointed out that whilst Mrs. Weasley was the warm, affectionate, and forgiving sort of mother-substitute for Harry, McGonagall was like a mother in the sense that she provided guidance and approval when he did well, and chastised him when he misbehaved, and had a side to her that was warm, caring, and had a bit of humour to it that Harry appreciated. Molly was the open warmth he wanted and needed, and McGonagall was a guide to keep him from getting away with things even if sometimes he was doing the right thing. The embodiments of Love and Respect, if you will. Both have it for and from Harry, but they both are far greater examples of one or the other.
    #11 - Skeeter is also one of the first hints that The Daily Prophet isn't always a reliable publication. We see this clearly in the 5th book, that it's subject to outside influence, but the fact that they allow Skeeter as a prominent reporter/columnist when any reasonable person can see that she has heavily slanted writing and makes things up when it suits her. Even when she reports things that are essentially true she always chooses to frame it in a way that suggests something awful is going on. Before the 4th book The Daily Prophet is more or less implied to be a good publication that is fairly reliable and quick to find and report on the news. The Evening Prophet managed to report on the mysterious flying car before Harry and Ron even reached the school. That's some quick work, since they'd not only have to have gathered the reports and eyewitness testimony, but been able to add it to the printing before it was actually rushed to production. That shows a high degree of competency. But this apparently competent publication was perfectly willing to let Skeeter write for their paper when any respectable muggle publication wouldn't stand for her tabloid-like shenanigans. They know she sells papers and that matters more to them, in the end. The thing that's absurd is that The Daily Prophet doesn't really seem to have any sort of competition in the UK anyway? If people don't buy their paper they probably either don't care about the paper much anyway, or they go with more obscure or odd publishers like The Quibbler anyway. I supposed in aroundabout way that could explain their willingness to let standards slide in some areas, just to appeal to the tabloid-loving types.

    I've never agreed with the "love potion" argument. For one thing, Dumbledore always speaks to (and about) Voldy as someone who constantly made bad choices. He would have been the first person to tell Harry not to judge him too harshly, and readers would have had no choice but to feel sorry for the jerk. Pity was never indicated, but "this guy was always bad" was. Also, that the whole "love potion theory" was only Dumbledore's guess. I think Harry's original thought that Merope used the imperius curse made much more sense, as she likely saw her dad and brother use it whenever they got bored or mad. They may have even used it on her! Since no one in the family had formal education, she probably never heard it was "unforgivable" to use.

    I have 3 things I’d like to see a video on. All of them (I think) tough to explain:
    1) Why don’t they use the truth serum for people going to Azkaban? I.E. Sirius black could’ve been freed early by being forced to tell the truth.
    2) Why don’t people more often use the time turner? I.E. someone goes the night of Lily and James Potter’s death and tells them to flee. Seems it could be done right without crossing paths with yourself since it’s unlikely in a private home. And lots of other situations.
    3. Why wouldn’t everyone drink the Luck Potion before every battle. I know it’s difficult to brew but obviously you could have Slughorn make it over and over. Seems like a good thing to have on hand for huge battles. Like the big battle of Hogwarts.

    The one thing I was hoping would be on this list is the one change that created, quite possibly, the most talked about loophole in the Harry Potter Movieverse. I'm assuming @Harry Potter Theory missed it though. I'm talking, of course, about The Marauders' Map. In the movie, when The Weasley Twins give the Map to Harry, they tell him how to use it and what it does. ALL of what it does. That, of course, spawned the often asked question: How the Hell did the Weasley Twins never notice Peter Pettigrew around their brother Ron while at Hogwarts?
    For the answer to that, we must turn to the books. You see, in the books, The Weasley Twins didn't know that The Marauders' Map showed people. As far as they knew, it just showed all the secret passages built into Hogwarts. Before people say it, no, that's not outright stated in the books. However, it is heavily implied. In the book, when The Weasley Twins give the Map to Harry, they tell him about the map showing all the secret passages. They never mention the showing people feature. They do mention it's the secret to their success, just like in the movie. When Harry asks why they're giving it to him if they need it for their success, they answer with this: "Because we've memorized the entire map." That one statement, in my opinion, is the confirmation that The Weasley Twins never knew about the Map's Secondary Feature of showing everyone in Hogwarts. You can't memorize a feature that updates in real time. And if they knew about that feature, like they did in the movie, they wouldn't have given up the map.
    In fact, the first time we see the map spawn people is when it's in Harry's hands and Harry is alone with the Map. And the only two people that we ever see properly use the Map to its fullest potential are Harry and Lupin. And what do they have in common? Both James Potter, Harry's Father, and Remus Lupin were two of The Marauders. They made the Map. My theory here is that only The Marauders and their direct bloodline can fully use The Marauders' Map. And that's why The Weasley Twins were never able to access the "track everyone" feature of the Map. And if this is the case, then by the end of the book, there are only a small handful of people that can actually use the Map to its fullest potential: Harry's Children and Teddy Lupin. Neither Sirius Black nor Peter Pettigrew had children before they died.

    My introduction to Harry Potter was hodgepodged between the books and the films. I had not read the books or seen the movies at all. The first 5 movies were already out and I watched those on DVD first. Of course after seeing the 5th movie I had to read the remaining books to see how it ended which I did. I then watched the remaining movies at the theater when they came out. After all that I read the first 5 books which I had not yet read. I haven't done it yet, but I want to read all the books through again and then binge watch all the movies. Harry Potter never gets old because there is always something new to discover. Harry Potter Theory proves that.

    Topic to cover:
    What other uses can some well known spells perform other than the main function seen in films? For instance, the patronus charm, other than repelling dementors, what else could it do?

    • @Sharon-pb7so

      You can send messages with a patronus. Kingsley Shackelbolt sent one to Bill and Fleurs wedding announcing the ministry had fallen and Mr. Weasley sent a message that ended up at Grimwald Place to Harry, Ron and Hermione when they were hiding out from Voldemort's followers after encountering 2 at the cafe in London.

  • @toodlescae
    @toodlescae 2 года назад

    I watched the 1st movie with my young great-niece at her demand. Lol. However, I liked it very much and her mother explained that it was based on the first in a series of books. Luckily, they had copies of the first 2 books so I started reading. As soon as I read the first book I was hooked so I went to the library to get the rest that had been published at that time. That was around 2004 so I had to wait a year to read the final book.
    It was while I was waiting for Deathly Hallows to be published that I watched all of the movies that were out at the time. By the time Deathly Hallows Part 1 came out in theaters all of my great-nieces were watching them with me so we all went to see Deathly Hallows 1 & 2 together at the theater as they came out.
    We had to wait until I could afford matinee prices so the youngest was 4 when we saw DH Part 1 at the theater in early 2011 then Part 2 later that year. Before we went to see Part 1 we all binge watched the other movies on dvd. I can still remember the 4 year old looking at me at the part where Dumbledore dies and practically begging me to tell her that "Dumdore" wasn't dead. Her heartbreak when I had to tell her yes he was dead nearly broke my heart. But I can remember the funny stuff too like her telling my sister not to worry that she'd tell her when Nagini was gone so she could open her eyes because she knew my sister has a phobia about snakes.

    I think this might be a challenge but is it possible to make a top 10 list of movie making choices that influenced future books? for example Cho Chang being Scottish in the books coz the actor was Scottish in real life (I never read the books but i heard that's what happened)

    • @TheFrecklish
      @TheFrecklish 2 года назад +1

      Nothing of the sort has happened as the books came out long before the movies. Cho is never mentioned to be Scottish anywhere, not in the books, in any interview or on pottermore. Cho was introduced in the 3rd book which came out in 1999. She starts dating Harry in the 5th book which came out in 2003. She was mentioned once in the 6th book and had a very little role in the 7th. In the movies she was introduced in the 4th which came out in 2005, 2 years after Cho’s major role in the books. There’s only one hint at Cho’s POSSIBLE nationality and that’s her rooting for the Tutshill Tornadoes. This might suggest that she lives near Tutshill, England. But only might.

    • @mjb6442

    I always thought this to be a bit weard. harry told the potrtet of dumbledor that he placed the wand in the grave and then ask when i die it wont have no owner no more and that be the end of it. Something like that. The potret seems to agree. Yet we learned from olivander that the wand chooses the owner so could not if it got in the future taken from the grave and back in the world simply choose a new owner?

    • @thesimslover82884
      @thesimslover82884 2 года назад

      It has to be won, Voldemort took it from the grave, but he wasn't the master of the Elder Wand. The problem is really Harry became an auror, which almost guarantees he'll be disarmed, and the wand will switch masters.

    Tom Elvis Jedusor
    « Je suis voldemort »

    Tom sorvolo ryddle
    “Soy lord voldemort!”
