    I propose the idea that in Book 5, when Voldy tries to possess Harry, the pain he feels is not searing, burning pain, but that, for a moment, he feels all the pain Harry feels in his heart, with the death of Sirius just minutes ago, the pain of never knowing his parents because they were killed, of seeing Cedric die, the fear of losing his friends in the Department of Mysteries, and in that moment, Voldemort is at the precipice of remorse.

      Or Voldemort feels all the good things and love in Harrys heart, which in turn sends him into a sedering pain and it is but the love he can not feel, when he feels it causes him the most pain and suffering 😮

    Hermione says it in book 1:
    "I'm going to bed before either of you comes up with another clever idea to get us killed, or worse, expelled."
    Then Dumbledore clarifies in book 7: "The Master of Death does not seek to escape it. He accepts that he must die, and understands that there are far worse things in this world than death."

      The Gaunts are made into near royalty due to being Slytherin's Heirs and replace Muggle royalty. Marvolo is moved into the Riddle's estate and the Riddles are made the Gaunt's servants. Tom Riddle is treated the worst but Merope heals his injuries and can at times grant him a reprieve from Morfin and Marvolo's torment. Tom and Merope fall in love but Morfin finds out and a grand dramatic event occurs during which Tom's parents are put to sleep forever. The happening causes a great disturbance among Muggles which are helped along by Albus Dumbledore. Seeing the treatment of the new Magical royals to the Muggle servants who used to own their home, leads to a near mass rebellion. A few conflicts arise but Grindelwald steps in and publicly tries Morfin in court and sends him to Azkaban. Morfin is forced to remove Tom from his service and take on a team of House Elfs instead as servers and butlers. Grindelwald also takes Merope and Tom into his inner circle and begins to use them and their budding union to settle the Muggle public's fears and wrath. Quietly, he has Marvolo taken away. But to Nurmengard instead of Azkaban. He falsely announces that Marvolo has passed away and there is a public funeral procession. Merope and Tom are initially unwilling to attend but Grindelwald convinces them to make an appearance in the end. Tom is then publicly given lordship of his family estate once more and also with the announcement of Tom and Merope's engagement, he is made a magical royal. Many of Dumbledore's Muggle resistance comrades come to view him as nothing more than a violent upstart and abandon him. Accepting Tom and Merope as their king and queen and Grindelwald as their Prime Minister. Some months after, Merope is pregnant and Grindelwald immediately begins to set to giving the soon-to-be parents lessons on how to raise young Tom Marvolo Riddle. Who will grow up as the Crown Prince of both Muggles and Magical folk.
      Meanwhile, Dumbledore passively resists Grindelwald's rule. But eventually still becomes Headmaster of Hogwarts and is under constant scrutiny. Perhaps Ariana is still alive in this timeline too. Since mayhaps Dumbledore's conviction to ultimately confront Grindelwald mostly had to do with his sister's untimely end- incidentally if not potentially caused by Grindelwald. I think Petunia should by a witch instead of Lily as well. There's no good reason related to the rest of this plot. I just think it would be interesting since she would obviously be much more likely than Lily to stay friends with Severus despite his dabbling in Dark Arts. And with a Lord Voldemort that is able to love, it's also poetic that Professor Snape also finds love. Although, Grindelwald trying to bind young Tom Riddle Jr. into an arranged marriage will cause him to experience difficulties with love regardless.

  • @stevenbalcaitis101
    @stevenbalcaitis101 11 месяцев назад +9

    Don't forget another key element... Choices. This whole series is filled with choices that a person can make in many different scenarios. Dumbledore even states that it is Harry's choice to not be in Slytherin that made the Sorting Hat to select Gryffindor. Harry rounds this out at the end of the series by telling his young son that he can choose which house he can join, something that he didn't do with the his other son.
    Harry still chooses to be good even when he can be evil. Sometimes his choices aren't the best one, like choosing to not open Sirius' gift to him. Running off to the Ministry to save Sirius and ultimately putting Sirius in the position to die. There are so many other examples throughout the whole series of choices that are made. Like Snape choosing to request that Voldemort spare Lilly, Voldemort agreeing to do so and then actually attempt to grant Lily her life. Lily choosing to stand in opposition instead of saving herself and Voldemort choosing to kill her after granting her 3 chances. Then Voldemort choosing to try and kill Harry after Lily's sacrifice.

    A very relatable quote for this i think is "I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time." Harry's "horcruxes" and in that way, his legacy was the bonds he made with the people around him. Whether he was there or not, those who he changed through their hearts, he will always be with them

    • @OkayYaraman
      @OkayYaraman 11 месяцев назад +4

      Good point, although the same could be said about Voldemort in a way. With all the terrible ("but great") things he did, his legacy will stick with people whose lives have been affected by it too. Then again, he was so terrible that people didn't want to say his name for years, so his legacy kinda backfired on him much like the killing curse.

  • @SgtSupaman
    @SgtSupaman 11 месяцев назад +50

    I feel like you missed a huge theme of the series which is free will. We are who we are because of what we chose to be. Even a prophecy about the future only really came true because Voldemort chose to make it true. And Voldemort's final defeat came because Harry chose to die. This theme is even outright stated by Dumbledore when Harry is unsure about the Sorting Hat.

      @Yvanehtnioj2000 11 месяцев назад +1

      Harry didn’t choose to die he accepted his fate after he saw Dumbledore saying Voldemort had to kill him. That always confused me. He didn’t sacrifice himself for everyone, he was going to meet his fate. He felt he didn’t *have* a choice. Harry didn’t have a choice to not fight Voldemort, it was his fate to battle Voldemort. Voldemort didn’t have a *CHANCE* as he was born sociopathic and without the ability to love or care for others because his mom magic roofied his dad and conceived him, what chances of being a good person did he really have? he book contradicts its message so much. All JK had to do was leave the part about Voldemort being affected by the love potion, so that he *CHOSE* not to love or care for others…but no, he was born that way lol

      Like the more financially settled Longbottoms, with Neville being next to his twin in age I imagine Dumbledore would approve. And of-course, they primarily live with only his grandmother, so it is far easier to hide and run (she also fenced off death eaters during the war)

    To go a touch further with "seeing the good in everyone", I don't know if that idea was explored as well as it could have been in this video, such as looking at Peter Pettigrew, someone that Harry knows was directly involved in the death of his parents, but he still prevents Lupin and Sirius from killing him, he says it's to prevent them from becoming murderers, but I also think he had a twinge of hope., whether misplaced or not. Despite hating Malfoy for 7 years and knowing that he had intended to kill Dumbledore (and only through his machinations, succeeded in drawing that right situation out), he still chose to risk his life to save Malfoy as the Room of Requirements burned down all around them.

    I think the main theme is turning away from power. This is interesting because, what is in my mind a high related series, Naruto, tackles many of the same conflicts, and the main idea that it wants the audience to walk away with is that power is actually good, especially power that we derive from defending those we care about. That said, it sets up a lot of corollaries (power alone is not enough, it's better to work on a team than to work alone, learn to understand other's pain, and learn to forgive those that wronged us).

    “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” is Matthew 6:21. And I would say the theme, or point, of the whole story is that Love conquers Death, which is also a very Christian idea. It’s so weird that some Christians have an issue with the story when there are so many parallels to Jesus. 🤷🏻‍♀️

      I personally love HP and everything about it, but understand if people feel that way. For some people it’s just too much witchcraft and they can’t combine it with their faith.
      I just love to see exactly these points, all the parallels to the Bible. And I love to talk about exactly that with Christian’s and oftentimes they haven’t even read HP or seen the movies. Mostly they are surprised :)

    • @h.n.4060
      @h.n.4060 11 месяцев назад +2

      I don't think those are Christian ideas though. The main principles behind Christianity is that we live in a damaged world due to original sin, and the nature of this cursed world means that it's inevitable we'll "sin" against each other. So a good Christian tries to minimize his sin while also learning to forgive those who sin against him. The problem is that I think foreignness and mercy (probably the chief virtue within Christianity) are fairly absent within Harry Potter. Few if any villains are given a chance to redeem themselves. Instead all that matters in Harry Potter is that we have "love", something that we can somehow be born with or without, and which either makes us good or evil, which is definitely not a Christian virtue, as Christians generally believe that we all have the potential to achieve a state of grace.
      But also, the a small number of Christians overall who disliked Harry Potter was because of "magic", which itself is silly because magic isn't a sin (at least not exactly). Alchemy is largely considered to be a form of magic today, and it was widely practiced in Europe at the same time the church had maximum influence over Europe. The issue with magic was that it was seen either as a way to deceive others (basically lying, which, hey, turns out that's what most real alchemists were doing), or as a way to turn Christians away from God.

    • @ProjectBEAR
      @ProjectBEAR 11 месяцев назад +3

      @@h.n.4060 the overall idea and belief in Christianity is that love (God) defeated death. A story doesn’t have to parallel every single aspect of something in order for people to compare the two. And I understand they don’t like the ‘magic’ or ‘witchcraft’ but anyone who has a problem with it in HP should also have a problem with Disney and almost any kids story. I mean, there’s literally magic in Narnia and they don’t have a problem with Narnia.

  • @VincentWeasleyPotter

    For Me the points of Harry Potter are:

    2. Life and the Magic of it
    3. Friendship and finding your tribe
    4. Love
    5. Fate
    Within J.K has installed all the most important keys one should learn upon this journey e g the importance of sacrifice, accepting one another and protecting those in need.
    It is after-all a modern retelling if the birth and story of Christ and so this video could also have been called what is the point of Jesus

    I thought Hermione nailed it in the first book: "There are more important things - friendship and bravery...". Harry's love for his parents is hollow; he knew of them but he didn't know them as people. It's like hero worship. But it's his friendship with Hagrid, Ron, and Hermione are what drives Harry to do everything else.
    I believe his willingness to sacrifice himself at the end of book 1 is way more meaningful than at the end of book 7. An 11-year-old Harry is fully ready to die when he barely knows magic and has no plan for how to stop Quirell or get the stone. True bravery is doing the right thing regardless of how bleak the outcomes may be.

We tend to look at it as bad in the western world but not so much in other cultures. I think I love the story because I have experienced so much loss in my life too.

    @neonjinn 11 месяцев назад +1

    Only problem with your assessment that 'Harry sees the good in everyone' (& so can accept everyone) is that I'm pretty sure he didn't do that for the Malfoys, or Snape, or Voldemort, or even Scrimgeour; & he definitely didn't see good in Umbridge, so I don't know if he could "accept" her being who she was. I know that it's probably just as well because it is a very human thing to accept some people but not even try to see if there's good in others, which makes him more believable as a character/person. However, I felt the need to say something about Harry's ability to see good in everyone, cause if that were the case he probably would have tried getting along with others even more than he did.

    A small idea but what happens after Voldemort destroys the horocroux in Harry? Does Harry still know parseltounge. Is he better at occulemency. What else did he lose or gain from having a full complete soul.

    • @riluna3695
      @riluna3695 11 месяцев назад

      He does lose parseltongue, we know that for sure. And while the lightning bolt scar doesn't disappear, it does fade and it never hurts him again. I don't think his failure at occlumency had anything to do with the connection, unless you count the fact that some part of him wanted to keep it. Even then, I suspect he'd still fail at it, although there's a lot to be said for someone far less antagonistic trying to teach it to him. Snape was a horrible choice, but they didn't really have any better options, all things considered.

  • @Sully5443
    @Sully5443 11 месяцев назад +1

    My own read on the Potter franchise is the following
    - It is okay to be weird and different. You will stick out. You will feel isolated and alone. But one day, it may not be today or tomorrow or even 10 years from now, but one day nonetheless: you will find YOUR people. One day, your “Hagrid” will arrive. It may be in the form of an opportunity to jump at something new and exciting. It might be someone who sees themselves in you. But one day you will find your fellow “weird” people. Be patient. They’re out there.
    - But just because you find your people, be careful not to divide among them. As much as we love fitting into a “House” at Hogwarts, we must be careful to not let these cliques divide us. Despite all being “weird” people, the students of Hogwarts live as if truly divided and those divisions lead to many of the problems we see in the story! Take that as a cautionary tale!
    - Magic can’t solve everything. The rich will still profit and get richer. There will still be bigotries and hatreds. There will be oppression between the Haves and Have Nots. A lot of folks complain that the situation surrounding the House Elves and Centaurs and Goblins was never fixed or changed. That’s the point. Even with the power to create things out of thin air or endlessly multiply food or transport to distant lands: it still doesn’t make these problems go away.
    - But there is something SO much more powerful than magic and CAN solve those things if the proper effort is put into place: LOVE. It is more powerful than any magical feat one can perform. It is not the knowledge of the magical person or their innate magical strength that makes them powerful: it is their capacity for love. And not just any love but TRUE love. Selfless and Self sacrificial love. This is what changes the world, not magic. And even then: *it will take time to undo all the harm that has been done*! Even with the most powerful form of magic (Love) these institutions cannot go away overnight. That’s just the way the world works!
    - The power of our choices matters deeply. People are not born good and evil. Rather, it is their choices which define them and most of all their choices to live with or without Love.

    @nishatsompura 11 месяцев назад

    The best theory I've heard of is below -
    In the book Tale of Three Brothers, the veil represents Death and the bridge (referenced in the book) refers to the pathway between Life and Death. The three brothers create the hallows to safely use beyond the veil - the invisibility cloak will let the user to safely pass through the veil and navigate whatever is beyond the veil, the elder wand is the only wand powerful enough to use on the other side of the veil, and the resurrection stone is the only way to safely recall the person who entered the veil, to be brought back to our world.
    The three brothers were very powerful Wizards who found a way to safely go beyond the veil and also use the Deathly Hallows in our world as well.

    🤔From the Serpent’s Venom comes the Anti Venom. Seeing death as an enemy instead of an old friend is why Voldemort is different from the rest of other Slytherin. We Slytherin believe in balance and embracing nature, we understand our place in the circle of life, Voldemort is different from us Slytherin in that his goal was to go against Human nature by becoming immortal, which is an ambition worthy of Slytherin house but the means in which immortality is attained is important because once a slytherin stops using their venom to create anti venom; and choose our own ambitions over the safety of the world you become the kind of evil person Voldemort was ultimately.
