He didn’t actually want to be a part of this but he got swept up and it was too late. When bellatrix is destroying the great hall toms facial expression is also great.

    I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this, but Snape's nickname has a bit deeper meaning. "Half-Blood" is the obvious one, Snape is half wizard, half muggle. However, "Prince" is honestly the bigger part imo. Prince was Snape's mother's maiden name. Eileen Prince was her name, and Snape loved her way more than his father. Also, she was the side Snape got his magical blood from, his father was the muggle.

    Something to know, as well, about when Harry takes the Liquid Luck (In the book!):
    1) He only takes a few drops, and there is a big fight scene at the end with all the Death Eaters. He shares around as much of the remainder with those defending Hogwarts as is possible to do so while still maintaining its efficacy.
    2) When he takes it, he leaves the Gryffindor common room and immediately barrels through two people by 'accident'; Dean Thomas and Ginny. From the bumping, Dean and Ginny end up getting into an argument that breaks up their relationship, and ends up cascading some other stars to align for Harry and Ginny to get together.

    Draco’s Mother Narcissa never liked Voldemort and NEVER wore the dark mark nor was she the same as her family, she just was smarter; always protecting Draco, was very powerful in her own right. Making sure the death eaters don’t hurt him any way shape or form. She knew the ways of the court since a young age so she knows the “lay of the land” let’s just say! Keep a an eye out. ;)❤❤❤❤
    Narcissa is at the same level when it comes to oclumancy. And she never took the dark mark and just learned how to survive in certain environments since she was young and was quite like her relative Sirius but knew how to walk the fine line. It’s the same skills she used when accompanying Draco to any death eater meeting of any sort so they wouldn’t harm him or take his innocence away. She’s truly mighty and Harry was saved by a mothers love three times.

    One cool little bit that you would miss on the first viewing is when Harry attacks Draco with the Sectumsempra curse... Snape is super suspicious, not just because it's dark magic, but because it's a spell HE invented himself and only recorded in his potions book. So there's no other way Harry could have known the spell, which is revealed at the end when Snape blocks the spell and responds with "you dare use MY OWN SPELL against me?". Also, one major difference between Dumbledore and Voldemort is their fear of death (or lack of). Voldemort's worst fear has always been death, and as a result, he made Horcruxes to prevent his untimely death. Dumbledore wasn't scared of dying, he viewed it as the end of one journey and the start of a new one; he wouldn't kill to keep from dying - which is a requirement to make Horcruxes: you kill, which fragments your soul, then you hide a piece in an object, the Horcrux.

    Fun fact: The scene where Ginny ties Harry's shoe laces it was added in because Daniel can't tie his shoes because he has dyspraxia which is a common disorder that affects movement and co-ordination, sometimes making it difficult to complete everyday tasks, such as tying a shoe. Daniel lives with a mild case of dyspraxia.

Like people were literally selling t-shirts that summed up the heart breaking moment in three words and included a footnote that gave the page reference. I'm happy that we've come a long way since then as evidence by the remarkable courtesy of Marvel fans (except for someone whose name rhymes with hom tolland cough cough) by their silence about huge movie events.

    Professor Dumbledore's death was one of the most traumatic for Harry to witness. Right alongside his parents' murder at the hands of Voldemort when he was a year-old toddler, Cedric at the hands of Wormtail during the last task of the Triwizard Tournament in that graveyard, and Sirius dying by falling into the Veil in the Ministry of Magic. Also, for some convoluded reason, they ommited an explanation of what a bezoar is in the movies: Bezoars are stones taken from the stomachs of goats.

    On “blood types” it gets kinda complex but the general idea is that pure bloods don’t have any “non-magical” blood aka muggle ancestry (which a lot of them lie about), muggleborns aka “mudbloods” Don’t have any traceable magical ancestry, and half blood is usually a term used for anyone with mixed magical ancestry but usually implies one magic and one muggle or muggleborn parent. Ron’s pure blood, Hermione is muggle born, and Harry is half blood bc his dad was pure blood and his mom was muggle born. Like Hagrid said “most wizards are half bloods now” and that includes Dumbledore and Voldemort two of the most powerful wizards. Hagrid would be considered half-breed since he’s half giant.

    one of my favorite book -> movie tidbits for this one: you can continuously see how frustrated Hermione is with her less than perfect potion making in comparison to Harry. this is particularly vexing seeing as she has been perfect the past few years. this is because when Snape taught potions, he would always put his own instructions on the chalkboard for them to use instead of a textbook. therefore, when Hermione refuses to use the HBP’s instructions (unknowingly Snape’s), she has poorer results

    Tom Riddle was born from a muggle father under a love potion of Amortentia but when he sobered up after months and months or years he abandoned his mother in a cruel way so this is where he gets his hatter for muggles. I’ll also tell you that this birth made him super attractive to everyone in a very supernatural way which is nobody at school could refuse him and he could weasel his way through everything to get what he wants. Everyone fell for him. Especially the teachers but also the great historian Bathilda Bagshot. His aunty or great aunt. He wasn’t easy to resist.
    He quite literally openly despised muggles for what his muggle father did to her beyond breaking her heart like that potion sure but Rowling went into either in the books or the rest of the story was put on the original pottermore website etc

    Just think of the meaning and the power behind that simple statement: murder rips the soul apart, it's a violation against nature!
    Also, if you'll ever read the books (which i STRONGLY recommend, otherwise some of the events that follow in the next movies will utterly confuse you), you'll understand that Dumbledore would never do something to evade death. In fact this, the way we relate to death is pretty much a principal motif in the story. Imagine fearing death so much that you're prepared to kill repeatedly to avoid it!

    Draco Malfoy's Mother, Nymphadora Tonks Mother and Belatrix La strange are sisters correct so that means Draco and Sirius were 2nd cousins, Draco and Tonks were cousins, The Weasley Family are a Distant relation to the Black family and if you go back far enough so are the Potters and Voldermort so everyone are technically distant relations to each other
