      Films-wise, WB should stick with PG-13 as there is still such a massive younger audience for the show that keeps growing, and it would certainly limit the younger teens and kids who adore the franchise and everything to do with it from reaching new content. Like a darker series with a tv-ma rating sounds incredible for us who have grown up with the Wizarding World, but I don't really see WB doing a tv-ma if they want to play it safe. I hope that when they do the reboot show, which we know they're going to do, they make most of the episodes after Prisoner of Azkaban's season will be tv-14 or tv-ma.
      Side note: some cool series that WB could make in my opinion are
      1. The First Wizarding War (TV-14 & TV-MA)
      2. The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore (TV-14) _dumbledore's autobiography_
      3. After The Second Wizarding War (TV-14)

    21:30 missed opportunity to mention that the other reason Voldemort probably targetted Harry was that Neville was a pure-blood (which in itself might have been another reason he didn't go after the Longbottoms) while Harry was a half-blood. With Voldemort seeing himself as the most powerful wizard to ever live who also happened to be a half-blood, he would probably recognize the threat in Harry significantly more than in Neville.

    I don’t remember Snape being Voldemort’s most trusted DE during the first war. Bellatrix clearly was one because he entrusted her one of his horcruxes, taught her, and (most likely) told her about the prophecy and horcruxes. I assume that because she specifically went after the Longbottoms after his defeat and was absolutely calm at her trial & confident of Voldemort’s return.

    I think the only thing we could add is that during the 2nd Wizarding War we know that Voldemort used a Taboo Curse on his own name so that enemies bold enough to use his name out loud would attract his immediate attention resulting in a visit by Death Eaters. Harry, Hermione and Ron were genuinely surprised how quickly two Death Eaters found them when they had just escaped the wedding. We later find out about the Taboo because Ron overheard two snatchers talking about it in a Pub. It seems plausible that Voldemort had used the Taboo Curse either in, or previous to the First Wizarding War as a means for locating enemies as well, which would explain Witches and Wizards fearing to use him name dubbing him "He Who Must Not Be Named" or "You Know Who." I am sure he was widely feared without the Taboo Curse, but that curse would have truly cemented fear of using his name.

He only looked like a "grown up Gollum" in his second form because of the way he was resurrected through his horcruxes.

    I kind of disagree about the First Wizarding War being worse because it lasted longer, sure it lasted longer, but at least Voldemort was fighting AGAINST the establishment and the government.
    In the Second Wizarding War, Voldemort literally BECAME the establishment, he WAS the government for nearly a whole year.
    The first war, Voldemort didn't literally have control of Britain like he did during the second war, I think the totality of Voldemorts reign probably did more overall damage to the country as a whole than his slow burn uprising from the First war.

    There is an error in the dating. Voldemort disappeared around 1955 and returned around 1965, when Dumbledore became Headmaster of Hogwarts. In the years 1965-1971, Voldemort operated legally and had many supporters, preaching the ideas of pure-blood superiority and the subordination of Muggles. In 1971 he decided to achieve his goals by force and then the war began.

    I share this with you first because you're my favorite Harry Potter creator. Is it possible that Dumbledore foresaw the rise of Voldemort. Whether when he visits Voldemorts orphanage or when he created his first few horcrux's, Dumbledore decides to infuse faux with a charm that makes his shared wand core phoenix feather that makes it shape priore incantatum that saves harry from Voldemort not just in the goblet of fire but also during the first part of the deathly hallows. It also explains why Dumbledore is there when harry dies to separate himself from being Voldemort's final horcrux.

    Worth noting that Barry Crouch Jr might not have actually been involved in the torture of the Longbottoms! It’s left ambiguous in the books, which leaves open the possibility that he was innocent, but then became hardened in Azkaban after his father wouldn’t listen to him. Meaning Crouch Sr and the mob justice mentality of that trial were partially responsible for Voldemort ultimately coming back to power. Lots of cool thematic implications there!

      Barty Crouch was there, the biggest hint is there is room for him in Voldemort's inner circle. When he comes to the graveyard they leave space, and he comments how he is at Hogwarts. These Death Eaters haven't gathered since before the fall, so they wouldn't have a space for him, if he joined after.

    I don't think that Severus was Voldemort's favourite, close companion or anything in the 1st War, not yet, indeed he was reasonably high in ranks, Voldemort listened to his advise after all - regarding to the prophecy - but, never gave him a Horcrux for instance. I think Snape was still on probation at the time. Voldemort likely recognised his talent, lectured him in his free time or as a reward for successful missions, but did he really trust him??

They could use Lily/James as supporting cast members while Dumbledore, Voldemort, and Grindewald are the leads. Maybe even show Minerva too, though I'm not sure when she would have entered the equation or how vital she was to the war. I'd also like to see Nevel's parents and how they went from the people they were to what they became. IF I'm not mistaken, they weren't actually killed righ? They were just driven mad?

      Their goals were different and Grindlewald could have been a threat to Voldemort's own power. While Voldemort _pretended_ to be about pure blood supremacy, he was really mostly interested in furthering his own power and immortality. Pure blood supremacy was simply an ideal he agreed with that he was able to use to further his own goals.
      Grindlewald truly did believe in Wizard superiority over Muggles; he was *far* less extreme than Voldemort. While Voldemort saw value in only the lives of "pure bloods" (himself being the exception because he'd "purified" his own blood when he murdered his father and like most racists, he's a hypocrite). Grindelwald saw both wizards and muggles as worthy of life and likely didn't care if a wizard's parents were muggle, wizard, or mix. He saw muggles not as undeserving of life, but of deserving of the "benefit" wizard rule, thinking that all lives would be better if wizards were in charge.

Using people from the groups you’re targeting who has influence or similar view to you is a very important strategy.

He wasn't willing to take any chances at all when it came to his overall goals. Hence, his massive overreaction to the news of Harry's birth. Honestly, Voldemort wasn't defeated by Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix during the first Wizarding War, he was defeated by his own Paranoia.
      If he had simply ignored Snape and continued his campaign, he would have easily won the war; even Dumbledore couldn't have stopped him. (despite the books' frantic insistence to the contrary.) If Voldemort doesn't kill Lily Potter, Snape never turns on him; he remains a loyal death eater to the end of his days. Also, Peter Pettigrew's cover is never blown, so Voldemort could have used him to spy on the Order of the Phoenix from the inside, giving him an overwhelming tactical advantage in the war.
