What's everyone's favorite Dumbledore moment? For me it was when he came face to face with Voldy at the ministry of magic and called him by his real name - Tom... I don't understand exactly why, but that moment just stuck with me for some reason..
He calls him Tom because he's always known him as Tom. Can't say much more than that but know Dumbledore is not afraid of a name. (Remember in chamber of secrets when Hermione said "Fear of a name....)
@@KaiSean1206 yeah that must be it. The fact everyone is afraid of the dark lord, they won’t even dare to say his name. They are all so fearful. But Dumbledore still calls his Tom because that’s who Voldermort will always be to him. You gotta love it 🪄
Fav Dumbledore moment: When him and Harry are on the Astronomy Tower before they go find the locket. He tells Harry "Being me has it's privileges." ***Spoiler if u haven't read the books*** At the Yule Ball he tells Harry and everyone at their table how he wakes up to use the bathroom and sometimes this random room appears with about 500 toilets and he's serious while everyone thinks he's mad. Guess what room it is... Yes, the Room of Requirement. I think that's why Ron asks Hermione about it in the movie. They left that out of Goblet of Fire.
Yes, in the book it makes sense. Book Ginny is next level. A great quidditch player, confident, fun, kind, good looking. And she was possessed by Voldy in book two. That's not a usual thing to have in common. 🙃 It's such a shame Bonnie Wright didn't get That to work with. She would have nailed it, if given a chance.
the twins decided to bail on school. this isn't shown in the movies but harry wins a lot of $ from technically winning the triwizard tournament but clearly doesn't feel great about having it, so he gives it to the twins to start their shop. great to see another reaction captain!
Ginny was embarrassed in the second movie when Harry was having breakfast with the Weasleys and Ron said she’d been talking about him all summer- and in the Order of the Phoenix she looked upset when Hermione told Harry that Cho couldn’t take her eyes off him, and also when Harry hung back after class to speak to (smooch with) Cho- but yeah the Harry/Ginny thing is a billion times better developed in the books lol in the movies it’s very awkward Also-I’ve said it before I’ll say it again- I feel sorry for Draco in this movie. His father was ordered by Voldemort himself to retrieve the prophecy, but he not only failed, he also got himself caught and locked up in Azkaban, and that made Voldemort very mad- so, he gave Draco the task of killing Dumbledore. Of course Draco was proud to have been chosen by the Dark Lord himself, at first (let’s be real look at how he was raised, didn’t have the best people to look up to, he was mistreated and took his anger out on others-and Hogwarts didn’t exactly have therapy sessions literally everyone in that school needed. Anyways he was taught that being chosen for a task by Voldemort would be a high honour), but that swiftly changed to pure fear and panic because at the heart of it he’s literally just a 16 year old kid and he’s been tasked to kill the most powerful wizard of all time, and if he fails he and his family would be killed! But, circling back, how was this punishment for Lucius? Voldemort tasked Draco with killing Dumbledore because he KNEW that he would fail. Snape making the Unbreakable Vow was a lucky loophole for Draco and his family really, otherwise they’d all be dead and Lucius would be rotting in his cell alone day after day just waiting for Voldemort to come for him next- cause you know his dramatic self would have made him wait for maximum effect A hint that Snape was the Half Blood Prince was that Hermione was suddenly terrible at potions- In Slughorn’s class they read from the textbook, but I believe Snape had the instructions with his edits already added on the board for everyone to follow. Also Snape’s father was a muggle, abusive, and his mother’s surname was Prince, hence the name Half Blood Prince Sorry for the stupid long comment I have no life 😃
When it comes to Harry and Ginny, the movies didn’t do their relationship justice. Kudos to your detective skills when it came to the vanishing cabinet. No one that I’ve watched figured that out. With the love portion it was meant for Harry from Romelda but Ron ate the candy.
And I'm tired of people pretending the books did it justice, either. H&G was just badly written period, and the movies actually did their best. It's basically Ginny showing up in book 2 (where she's 99% off-screen) as this 11 yo kid with an unhealthy juvenile crush (that she gets over by the end). Then in book 6 she's suddenly like "I never gave up on you Harry! She's barely even a character, only there so that Harry can pick a gf who's an mc and not Hermione.
@@whade62000exactly!! I can't understand how people don't realize this. And if you disagree with them, they instantly assume you haven't read the books.
Ginny got a crush on Harry in the first film, when Harry was 11 and Ginny was 10. The next year Ron & the Twins brought Harry back from where Uncle Vernon had Harry imprisoned in his room, and Ginny had been talking about Harry all summer; her backing away from Harry in horror (at breakfast, where we meet Mr Weasley) is not fear, it's mortification over her crush seeing her inappropriately dressed and not at her best. Later that year, he saves her life in the Chamber of Secrets, which for her seals the deal. By Harry's 4th year age 14 and Ginny's 3rd year at age 13, Ginny has begun to give up on Harry reciprocating her affection, so she went to the Yule Ball with Neville. In Harry's 5th year at age 15 and Ginny's 4th at age 14, Ginny is still hoping to get Harry's attention, but Harry has developed an interest in Cho. All you have to do is see Ginny's reaction when Hermione announces to the group that Harry taking on teaching defensive magic has left Cho not being able to keep her eyes off Harry; Ginny's face falls hearing that. And when the defensive magic 'class' pauses for Christmas break, Ginny hangs back as the other students file out of the Room of Requirement. Ginny hangs back until she realizes Harry is attending Cho, then crestfallen she leaves the Room as the mistletoe forms over Cho's head. And once Harry can't find forgiveness or trust in Cho after Cho was forced by veritus potion to tell on the group, he's free to reconsider his options. Harry's so caught up in grief and PTSD after Sirius dies, that he drops the romantic ball again, and Ginny likely feels abandoned. Now we're in Harry's 6th year, Ginny's 5th. Ginny's given up at the start of the year, so goes out with Dean. It's not a happy match. Meanwhile, Harry finds his interest actually is in Ginny (recall Harry standing when Ginny enters the room late for Slughorn's dinner party), but feels weird having feelings for his best friend's little sister. He has that weird talk at bedtime with Ron, who all this time has been CLUELESS about his own feelings about Hermione. Once Ginny breaks up with Dean, she realizes she finally has a chance with Harry. Then Ginny almost kisses Harry at her parents' house when Bellatrix and the other Death eaters attack; notice Ginny follows behind Harry through a wall of flame in her bare feet, to defend him and keep him safe. They finally get that kiss in the Room of Requirement, when they get rid of the Half-Blood Prince's potions book. And here we are. So Ginny had her sights on Harry from the moment they met. Hermione had her sights on Ron sometime early in their first year, likely sealed by his accepting her tutorage to levitate the Troll's club and save her life. Ron's just enormously un-self-aware; he's just confused by emotions, even his own. Subconsciously he knows, but not consciously. Subconsciously, because remember in their 2nd year Ron was just as embarrassed about embracing Hermione after Hermione de-petrified as she was; the handshake was mutual. And remember in their 3rd year Ron was the only person to notice Hermione suddenly showing up; that was another romantic interest 'tell'.
If you read the books the beginning of this one is vastly different from the movie. I knew about the Harry/Ginny relationship because I read the book before I saw the movie. The movies did it so poorly and mangled Ginny's character so much that I'm not surprised it confuses people who have only seen the movies. Just to make sure things are clear. Voldemort wanted to split his soul in 7. One part (no matter how small) stays inside him then there are 6 horcruxes. Harry destroyed the diary horcrux in COS. Dumbledore destroyed the ring. The real locket horcrux and 3 more horcruxes need to be found and destroyed.
In book version Dumbledore try to stunt Harry under invisible cloak, on that fiction of second Dreco disarm Dumbledore. Also Dumbledore know about Voldemort Hucroxes but dont know how many. He gave harry ideas what will be other hucroxes.
The only thing that would have made Professor Dumbledore's death more tragic than it was is if Richard Harris was around to continue playing the character to that point. But sadly, he passed after they wrapped Chamber Of Secrets.
There is a film only theory for Ginny and Harry. That she slipped him a love potion when she fed him that tart at Christmas. "Don't you trust me" takes on a very sinister tone with that theory. Lol I kinda like that tbh. Makes more sense than their non chemistry in the movies 😂. BTW. This has been a great background series while I work on my new Fallout 4 mod list. Might watch another of your series watch alongs while I mod TF out of cyberpunk
You have to remember that though Ron is more confident at the start of year 6 than as a 1st year, he still deep down has an inferiority complex. Due to his older brothers all being amazing in 1 way or another & knowing how he wouldn't even have been born if his parents weren't trying for a girl after having 5 boys, he sometimes thinks even his parents don't love him as much as their baby girl & older boys. He isn't letting himself even conciously think he could possibly be good enough & smart enough that Hermione would see him romantically. He's getting better but not over it yet. Also, the books build up the Ginny & Harry match much better. The movies had to cut much of their interaction for time.
In the books you definitely see that Harry begins to have feelings for Ginny since it’s from his pov. It’s built up a lot more. But, if you go re-watch the movies and pay attention to Ginny, especially from movie 5 on, it gives you subtle hints. Most people miss them due to focusing on other things.
Ron wasn't in relation with that girl beacuse of love potion. That relation just happened. Ron was drugged with love potion by Romilda (the girl in library who Hermione said had a crush on harry) Remember Hermione said to harry that romilda is trying to smuggle him some love potion? She did that by sending harry chocolates.. but ron being a foodie ate those chocolate.. ig you missed the part where harry found romilda's letter addressed to him with chocolate wrappers on ron's bed.. i would recommend you to pause the movie when you want to talk about something. So u won't miss anything So yeah at that time ron was talking about romilda.. not the other girl who kissed him
That's the thing with the movies. If you haven't read the books it's very easy to miss the hints, the wink wink's, because they are often short and subtle. That's not usually the case with a movie, but with Harry Potter it's often hard to really grasp what's going on with only the information the movie provides. In my opinion they should have made the movies slightly longer, and dropped the directors own extra story that didn't even take place in the book and is illogical. (The Burrow on fire. The Burrow was protected by the Ministry while Harry, The Chosen One, was there. The Deatheaters couldn't have entered.)
To answer your question: Lucius Malfoy has a high position in the Ministry of Magic and is on the board for Hogwarts. No problems to keep Draco in school.
Half-Blood is probably my least favourite HP film (or a tie with Goblet) due to the film looking almost pitch-black but also them leaving more memories of Voldemorts family history out in favour of the really awkward romance scenes between Harry/Ginny (honestly better portrayed in the books), also Snape is called the Half-Blood Prince because he's a Half-Blood as his Dad (Snape) was a muggle but to be in good standing with Death Eaters when he joined he took his witch mothers maiden name (Prince) and started writing that name in his text books, again another thing not explained in film lol.
people often wonder why draco still goes to hogwarts. but since when do you get to expell a teen from school just because his parent was convicted of a crime? that would be too messed up even for the wizarding world.
I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility to expel him because of that. I mean he tried to curse dumbledore twice and attempt to kill Him at the end. Also letting the death eaters in the school. And that’s all just in the most recent year. He’s always been a bad egg, every year he just bullies and abuses others. I think even without his fathers convictions it wouldn’t be unreasonable to not invite him back to hogwarts in fear of potential danger to other students. Let me know what you think
@@CaptainTinny Dumbledore always believes that a person will come good, if given the right environment and encouragement - it's why he tried to help Tom Riddle, and why he tried to talk Draco out of doing Voldy's bidding. He would never take the path of using a parent's crime as reason to punish a child 💓
Yeah it definitely blind-sided me. Like we hardly see Ginny in the previous films and all of a sudden she’s kissing Harry. Bizarre stuff. Still a phenomenal movie tho
@@CaptainTinny the movies are great, but there is so much more in the books - I recommend reading them, or do what I did, get the audio books - I didn't have the time to read them but I was able to listen to them while I did other things, but it is worth having both.
This is Draco's movie. This is the film where Draco's character begins to transform. Draco comes into this film still having very little identity apart from his father. His closest school chums are the sons of his father's fellow Death eaters (Crabbe, Goyle, and McNabb, who were with Lucius in the Riddle graveyard in film 4). He parrots his father's disparagements & condemnations of others. He carries himself with exaggerated privilege. And he remembers every slight. Draco does everything he can to appeal to his father, who does not reciprocate. If anything, he demands a great deal of Draco and likely could never please his father enough. So by this film, "The Half-Blood Prince", Draco's world has been turned upside down. Previously, the Malfoy family name has been secure and elevated (almost like royalty) in the Wizarding World, due to wealth, blood purity, and connections; this includes Lucius sitting on the Hogwarts School Board and having the ear of the Minister of Magic. Lucius has social position and influence. But after it's proven Voldemort is back and Lucius was involved in bringing him back, Lucius is kicked off the School Board, tried, and sent to Azkaban. The Malfoy name has been shamed, the position and influence is gone, and the family has become pariahs. So Draco begins this film enraged at what has been lost, and just as Lucius always blamed others, so Draco blames Harry. Additionally, Draco is talked into becoming a Death eater, joining Voldemort's supporters. Initially, it gives Draco a way to seek revenge and regain a kind of honor (being chosen for important tasks by Voldemort himself), but soon the enormity of what this asks of him begins to hit. -He has to repair a vanishing cabinet, allowing other Death eaters to get past the magical barriers that keep them out of Hogwarts. -He has to kill Dumbledore. -If he fails, Voldemort will kill him. This is where Draco starts to see how he differs from his father. Lucius would absolutely do it. But Draco returning to Hogwarts realizes what Dumbledore means to him. Then he sees how his attempts to curse/poison Dumbledore does to the schoolmates he's grown up with: Katie hospitalized and near death, Ron hospitalized and near death, Harry and Professor Slughorn almost ending up like Ron. It's a wakeup call for Draco, who can't figure out how to get out of it. It all suddenly hits home for Draco as he watches Harry talking with Katie, fresh from the school hospital. Draco leaves the Dining Hall before Harry can catch him. It strikes me that this is the most white Draco wears in any film of the series, and then he pulls off the sweater vest in the Boys Lavatory, exposing even MORE white. And CRIES. Draco is agonizing over the regret for his actions and what they've done to others. This is a pivotal moment for Draco. Imagine if Harry had entered the lavatory and responded to Draco crying; what would have happened? But Harry bursts in, in a blind rage, and a wand fight ensues. And Harry in righteous anger blasts Draco with an ill-considered spell that would have KILLED Draco, if Snape had not shown up and recognized it for what it was. Snape saves Draco's life. The thing that remains with Draco is that he's doing a wrong thing. He's being forced to do something he KNOWS is wrong. And he does not want to do it. And this is what makes him his own man, separated from his father. It makes him question his father, his father's character, his father's beliefs. Draco is coming to grips with the small man his father really is. And he will never go back. This is the beginning of a process of Draco seeing his father for who he is, not the image his father was projecting. This is growth. And it's both poignant and beautiful.
10:25 Eh, I wouldn’t say they’re bad eggs, because at that age, Voldy is hardly an egg heh. Many people’s personalities form when they’re very young. It doesn’t mean they are “beyond help,” but they start to solidly ways to deal with the world well before adulthood. And Voldy’s childhood *wasn’t great.* And Dumbeldore hasn’t given Harry the support he likely would have needed considering his trauma lol, so it’s certain he wouldn’t have given Tom the amount of attention and intervention he would have needed, which would be a challenge even if he did. Hogwarts is also er a pretty dangerous environment where one quarter or so are often duplicitous and/or subscribe to a violently bigoted wizard ideology. There are also supernatural reasons for Voldemort’s twisted psyche, and obviously I’m taking some of the tropes that are fun or where you suspend disbelief seriously. But it is interesting how the books show that Voldemort is a mixture of several things, including his family history and upbringing. Which I consider to be fairly realistic.
You're confusing Lavender with Romilda Vane. Hermione warned Harry in the library about Romilda (who was sitting far back behind them) about her trying to give him a love potion (because Harry is the 'Chosen One'). Romilda left love potion spiked chocolates on Harry's bed. Ron, who will eat anything he can get his hands on, eats a number of the chocolates and 'falls in love' with Romilda even though he's never knowingly met her. Lavender, the girl who jumped on Ron after his success at Quidditch, never used a love potion on Ron. He just liked the attention, but soon grew bored with Lavender and didn't know how to get rid of her. Six horcruxes. Tom Riddle broke his soul into seven pieces; six pieces were placed in six different horcruxes and one piece had to remain in his own body to keep him alive.
Awesome video keep up the good work & this movie is my favorite movie ever & seeing harry smile & enjoying his six year in Hogwarts & have a good night sleep without getting bad dream tonight it is all worth it no matter what & I get very emotional so easily from Harry tell his godfather sirius black about his nightmare in the last movie dang it got me so hard & seeing him cry so hard in the fourth movie it hit me very hard & I really want to hug him as a little sister & tell him that everything is going to be alright & I know that sirius black is still watching over him in his heart & in heaven no matter what
Yeah it honestly got me pretty emotional as well man. The kid just keeps on taking hits and we finally got a little bit of peace and saw some smiles before his world got turned upside down again. The blokes got the world on his shoulders
I'm glad you're enjoying them so much! People keep lying in the comments (of every HP video) that Ginny's better in the books, she's not. In fact the movies do their best to give her screentime, considering the books barely gave her any.
You getting increasingly annoyed with Ron(aldo) throughout this series is hilarious! They really did Ron dirty in the movies, they turned him into the comedy relief and have a lot of his moments/lines from the books to Hermione instead. In the books his friendship with Harry is so much richer and he is very smart and helps teach Harry and Hermione about the wizarding world. As for Ginny, she is my biggest gripe with the franchise. They turned her character into the absolute opposite of who she is in the book. They cut all the best moments of their crushes on each other and interactions in the book and unfortunately there was pretty much no on screen chemistry between the two actors but book Ginny was a boss!! She was the coolest girl, so smart, fiery, extroverted, a star quidditch player, very popular and incredibly funny. She and Harry actually had a beautiful friendship to relationship arch and they really compliment and even each other out. Book Ginny was so good with Harry. They didn’t do them justice in the movies.
It was in the video originally, however RUclips kept taking down the video because it was too long and showed too much of the movie so I was forced to remove multiple scenes, the horcrux one included. Sorry mate it was out of my hands

She would have nailed it, if given a chance.
I love the book describing Harry's feeling as "the beast in his chest"
the twins decided to bail on school. this isn't shown in the movies but harry wins a lot of $ from technically winning the triwizard tournament but clearly doesn't feel great about having it, so he gives it to the twins to start their shop. great to see another reaction captain!
I think there was a condition that they also use the money to buy Ron new dress robes, too

Just a little bit of trivia for you Captain. Young Tom Riddle at the orphanage was played by the nephew of old no nose himself, Ralph Fiennes.
“Old no nose” lmaooo!!

wow it’s crazy that you guessed voldy was looking for a wand this early on no one ever picks up on that!
The love potion ron took wasn’t send by his gf at the moment. It was meant for harry. Remember hermione told harry about romilda vane
I totally missed it 😩 please forgive me
2 horcruxes destroted.. diary and Voldemort's mother's ring... they found the 3rd one only to realize it's a fake copy
You have to remember that though Ron is more confident at the start of year 6 than as a 1st year, he still deep down has an inferiority complex. Due to his older brothers all being amazing in 1 way or another & knowing how he wouldn't even have been born if his parents weren't trying for a girl after having 5 boys, he sometimes thinks even his parents don't love him as much as their baby girl & older boys.

Ron actually ate chocolate that were meant for Harry that were laced with Love Potion. And that was after the Quidditch match
Ron wasn't in relation with that girl beacuse of love potion. That relation just happened. Ron was drugged with love potion by Romilda (the girl in library who Hermione said had a crush on harry) Remember Hermione said to harry that romilda is trying to smuggle him some love potion? She did that by sending harry chocolates.. but ron being a foodie ate those chocolate.. ig you missed the part where harry found romilda's letter addressed to him with chocolate wrappers on ron's bed.. i would recommend you to pause the movie when you want to talk about something. So u won't miss anything
So yeah at that time ron was talking about romilda.. not the other girl who kissed him
That's the thing with the movies. If you haven't read the books it's very easy to miss the hints, the wink wink's, because they are often short and subtle.
That's not usually the case with a movie, but with Harry Potter it's often hard to really grasp what's going on with only the information the movie provides.
In my opinion they should have made the movies slightly longer, and dropped the directors own extra story that didn't even take place in the book and is illogical. (The Burrow on fire. The Burrow was protected by the Ministry while Harry, The Chosen One, was there. The Deatheaters couldn't have entered.)
@@flugsven there are many such scenes in these movies that could've been explained better

To answer your question: Lucius Malfoy has a high position in the Ministry of Magic and is on the board for Hogwarts. No problems to keep Draco in school.
Half-Blood is probably my least favourite HP film (or a tie with Goblet) due to the film looking almost pitch-black but also them leaving more memories of Voldemorts family history out in favour of the really awkward romance scenes between Harry/Ginny (honestly better portrayed in the books), also Snape is called the Half-Blood Prince because he's a Half-Blood as his Dad (Snape) was a muggle but to be in good standing with Death Eaters when he joined he took his witch mothers maiden name (Prince) and started writing that name in his text books, again another thing not explained in film lol.
These last 3 movies will just destroy you
My body is ready
people often wonder why draco still goes to hogwarts. but since when do you get to expell a teen from school just because his parent was convicted of a crime? that would be too messed up even for the wizarding world.
I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility to expel him because of that. I mean he tried to curse dumbledore twice and attempt to kill
Him at the end. Also letting the death eaters in the school. And that’s all just in the most recent year. He’s always been a bad egg, every year he just bullies and abuses others. I think even without his fathers convictions it wouldn’t be unreasonable to not invite him back to hogwarts in fear of potential danger to other students. Let me know what you think
@@CaptainTinny Dumbledore always believes that a person will come good, if given the right environment and encouragement - it's why he tried to help Tom Riddle, and why he tried to talk Draco out of doing Voldy's bidding. He would never take the path of using a parent's crime as reason to punish a child 💓
Funny to think of : Death cant find Harry - meanwhile Luna 😎
That potion chocolate thing was meant for Harry From Remilda...
Harry and Ginny is a lot clearer if you read the books - the movies just don't have the time to deal with it.
Yeah it definitely blind-sided me. Like we hardly see Ginny in the previous films and all of a sudden she’s kissing Harry. Bizarre stuff. Still a phenomenal movie tho
@@CaptainTinny the movies are great, but there is so much more in the books - I recommend reading them, or do what I did, get the audio books - I didn't have the time to read them but I was able to listen to them while I did other things, but it is worth having both.
This is Draco's movie.
This is the film where Draco's character begins to transform.
Draco comes into this film still having very little identity apart from his father.
His closest school chums are the sons of his father's fellow Death eaters (Crabbe, Goyle, and McNabb, who were with Lucius in the Riddle graveyard in film 4).
He parrots his father's disparagements & condemnations of others.
He carries himself with exaggerated privilege.
And he remembers every slight.
Draco does everything he can to appeal to his father, who does not reciprocate. If anything, he demands a great deal of Draco and likely could never please his father enough.
So by this film, "The Half-Blood Prince", Draco's world has been turned upside down.
Previously, the Malfoy family name has been secure and elevated (almost like royalty) in the Wizarding World, due to wealth, blood purity, and connections; this includes Lucius sitting on the Hogwarts School Board and having the ear of the Minister of Magic. Lucius has social position and influence.
But after it's proven Voldemort is back and Lucius was involved in bringing him back, Lucius is kicked off the School Board, tried, and sent to Azkaban.
The Malfoy name has been shamed, the position and influence is gone, and the family has become pariahs.
So Draco begins this film enraged at what has been lost, and just as Lucius always blamed others, so Draco blames Harry.
Additionally, Draco is talked into becoming a Death eater, joining Voldemort's supporters.
Initially, it gives Draco a way to seek revenge and regain a kind of honor (being chosen for important tasks by Voldemort himself), but soon the enormity of what this asks of him begins to hit.
-He has to repair a vanishing cabinet, allowing other Death eaters to get past the magical barriers that keep them out of Hogwarts.
-He has to kill Dumbledore.
-If he fails, Voldemort will kill him.
This is where Draco starts to see how he differs from his father.
Lucius would absolutely do it.
But Draco returning to Hogwarts realizes what Dumbledore means to him.
Then he sees how his attempts to curse/poison Dumbledore does to the schoolmates he's grown up with: Katie hospitalized and near death, Ron hospitalized and near death, Harry and Professor Slughorn almost ending up like Ron.
It's a wakeup call for Draco, who can't figure out how to get out of it.
It all suddenly hits home for Draco as he watches Harry talking with Katie, fresh from the school hospital.
Draco leaves the Dining Hall before Harry can catch him. It strikes me that this is the most white Draco wears in any film of the series, and then he pulls off the sweater vest in the Boys Lavatory, exposing even MORE white. And CRIES.
Draco is agonizing over the regret for his actions and what they've done to others. This is a pivotal moment for Draco. Imagine if Harry had entered the lavatory and responded to Draco crying; what would have happened?
But Harry bursts in, in a blind rage, and a wand fight ensues. And Harry in righteous anger blasts Draco with an ill-considered spell that would have KILLED Draco, if Snape had not shown up and recognized it for what it was. Snape saves Draco's life.
The thing that remains with Draco is that he's doing a wrong thing. He's being forced to do something he KNOWS is wrong. And he does not want to do it.
And this is what makes him his own man, separated from his father. It makes him question his father, his father's character, his father's beliefs. Draco is coming to grips with the small man his father really is. And he will never go back.
This is the beginning of a process of Draco seeing his father for who he is, not the image his father was projecting. This is growth. And it's both poignant and beautiful.
10:25 Eh, I wouldn’t say they’re bad eggs, because at that age, Voldy is hardly an egg heh. Many people’s personalities form when they’re very young. It doesn’t mean they are “beyond help,” but they start to solidly ways to deal with the world well before adulthood. And Voldy’s childhood *wasn’t great.*
And Dumbeldore hasn’t given Harry the support he likely would have needed considering his trauma lol, so it’s certain he wouldn’t have given Tom the amount of attention and intervention he would have needed, which would be a challenge even if he did. Hogwarts is also er a pretty dangerous environment where one quarter or so are often duplicitous and/or subscribe to a violently bigoted wizard ideology.
There are also supernatural reasons for Voldemort’s twisted psyche, and obviously I’m taking some of the tropes that are fun or where you suspend disbelief seriously. But it is interesting how the books show that Voldemort is a mixture of several things, including his family history and upbringing. Which I consider to be fairly realistic.
4:45 THIS IS SO ME !!!
You're confusing Lavender with Romilda Vane.
Hermione warned Harry in the library about Romilda (who was sitting far back behind them) about her trying to give him a love potion (because Harry is the 'Chosen One'). Romilda left love potion spiked chocolates on Harry's bed. Ron, who will eat anything he can get his hands on, eats a number of the chocolates and 'falls in love' with Romilda even though he's never knowingly met her.
Lavender, the girl who jumped on Ron after his success at Quidditch, never used a love potion on Ron. He just liked the attention, but soon grew bored with Lavender and didn't know how to get rid of her.
Six horcruxes.
Tom Riddle broke his soul into seven pieces; six pieces were placed in six different horcruxes and one piece had to remain in his own body to keep him alive.
technically there are 7 horcruxes- mouldy voldy intended to make six but he accidentally made harry a horcrux too the night he tried to kill him!
Awesome video keep up the good work & this movie is my favorite movie ever & seeing harry smile & enjoying his six year in Hogwarts & have a good night sleep without getting bad dream tonight it is all worth it no matter what & I get very emotional so easily from Harry tell his godfather sirius black about his nightmare in the last movie dang it got me so hard & seeing him cry so hard in the fourth movie it hit me very hard & I really want to hug him as a little sister & tell him that everything is going to be alright & I know that sirius black is still watching over him in his heart & in heaven no matter what
Yeah it honestly got me pretty emotional as well man. The kid just keeps on taking hits and we finally got a little bit of peace and saw some smiles before his world got turned upside down again. The blokes got the world on his shoulders
I'm glad you're enjoying them so much!
People keep lying in the comments (of every HP video) that Ginny's better in the books, she's not.
In fact the movies do their best to give her screentime, considering the books barely gave her any.
You getting increasingly annoyed with Ron(aldo) throughout this series is hilarious! They really did Ron dirty in the movies, they turned him into the comedy relief and have a lot of his moments/lines from the books to Hermione instead. In the books his friendship with Harry is so much richer and he is very smart and helps teach Harry and Hermione about the wizarding world.
As for Ginny, she is my biggest gripe with the franchise. They turned her character into the absolute opposite of who she is in the book. They cut all the best moments of their crushes on each other and interactions in the book and unfortunately there was pretty much no on screen chemistry between the two actors but book Ginny was a boss!! She was the coolest girl, so smart, fiery, extroverted, a star quidditch player, very popular and incredibly funny. She and Harry actually had a beautiful friendship to relationship arch and they really compliment and even each other out. Book Ginny was so good with Harry. They didn’t do them justice in the movies.
Really skipped over the entire trip harry and dumbledore took to get the horcrux like wtf
It was in the video originally, however RUclips kept taking down the video because it was too long and showed too much of the movie so I was forced to remove multiple scenes, the horcrux one included. Sorry mate it was out of my hands
