    There's a lot that's not fair in this video.
    Going by year
    1. I always imagined Hagrid was carrying Harry in a pocket of his coat, which would be the size of a crib for harry.
    Fluffy is SUPPOSED to be a dangerous creature that would harm students. Dumbledore warns the school beforehand.
    2. Aragog wasnt just a friend, it was the only way to clear his name and start to figure out the MURDERS including their very good friend who was a target.
    Starting after year 2 the relationship between the trio and Hagrid leans way more into them being genuine friends rather than just mentor mentee or student teacher. This gets stronger in book 4.
    3. Buckbeak wasnt getting a fair trial due to Malfoy, so hermione and ron decided to help by doing research, something the barely literate Hagrid couldnt do.
    4. While the B.E.S. were dangerous to the students during the year, they are SUPPOSED to be during the last trial. He also helps Harry learn what dangerous creature hed be fighting. He doesnt just show harry dangerous stuff for the fun of it, he also teaches him how to be safe and careful around the creatures.
    Regarding Ritas story, it wasnt just an embarrasing secret. It was a life shattering one. It changed how his colleague's viewed him. It couldve Lost him his job and driven from hogwarts. It dragged his and his dads name through the mud. It put off so many of hia students. Dumbledore himself was okay with him feeling depressed. But not only does blood purity not mean anything to harry, he actively despises it. Hagrid is hagrid no matter who his mom was.
    5. Hagrid went to them about grawp because he was a friend and he once again thought he would be driven out of hogwarts. Hagrid has no secrets from harry and doesnt think he shouldbe been protected from info. So he clearly would tell him about his mission.
    6. Harry went to Hagrids after dark where teachers are allowed to drink .He was also mourning his oldest friend. None of that is Hagrids fault.
    Hagrid was an amazing friend and i will not hear him besmirched he made many mistakes and was over zealous with some dangerous things but then again so was every single class in that school.

      Ok but why did Hagrid let little Harry & Ron venture into the nest of thousands of giant spiders ALONE & to bother the giant master who, like his children, has a taste for flesh… and those poor boys didn’t even know what they were getting into, just follow the itsy bitsy spiders!🤷‍♀️ if Hagrid knew they needed information why didn’t he personally go to HIS friend & ask, much less accompany the boys. That’s by far his worst crime in my opinion, there’s no excuse for that

    I am almost through the second book, for the 1000th time. And I just thought of something I would love your take on, I don’t think you’ve ever mentioned it on your channel. So the basilisk kills when looking into the victims eyes, and petrified if you look at it through something. But what would happen if Harry was under the invisibility cloak and looked at the basilisk? Would he be petrified, or would nothing happen, since the basilisk wouldn’t be able to see him?
    We know that moody can look through the cloak, but that is the only time we ever know someone to be able to look through the cloak…except for maybe mrs. Norris? We never get confirmation whether she is able to look through the cloak? Maybe this is also true for other animals?

      Hagrid likes to drink, the books are pretty honest about that. On top of that, he tends to lean towards the more dangerous creatures because he wants to prove they "aren't bad." He also forgets that as a half giant, he can handle these creatures far more than an average wizard much kess a kid. So I don't think he was under a curse, I think he decided that he got away with it Aragog and Mosag (and their extended family) so why not try again? Only, it was the trio who suffered the consequences, not Hagrid.

    Who to make a scathing review of?:
    - Cornelius Fudge (Just every act, decision or action as minister for magic) Truelly the worst person for a position of power. Easily manipulated, and very fearfull of loosing his seat of power by people finding out how unintelligent or unworthy for leadership he trully is.
    - Harry Potter (Never truelly trusts Dumbledore with his findings or visions)
    - Dumbledore (Always explain crucial information at the end of every year, instead of sharing bits ever so often.)
    - McGonagall (When does she actually show/teach the Gryffindor traits/vertues?) Why does she always take points of gryffindor students? She does not at any point explain why and then teaches how to act instead.
    - Snape (Why does he hate Hermione and Neville so much?) For someone Harry views as the most curages person, he is very pityfull and fearfull. He yearns for approval from Slytherine students, and never disciplines their foul behaviour. Like with Malfoy calling other students "mud blods", but as soon as students from the other houses says or does something out of line from his perspective the get points taken from and/or gives them detentionen.
    - All in the wizarding world (Why don't they use more usefull muggle inventions like the telephone for communication instead of leathers, the television for broadcasts/entertainment? But use radio's for dissaperience updates) Transportation the muggles have lost, I mean fluepowder or disapparate spell can't beat that. But what is up with brooms for flying? I mean sure witches have been depicted to fly on brooms for hundreds of years. But there should be some newer/smarter inventions to make flying more comfortable or safer.
    - Magic in the wizarding world (By definition making something out of nothing is magic. Then why is magic in the wizarding world limited to only be able to duplicate an existing thing or changing something from one thing to something els?) I mean there is a lot of cool magic in the wizarding world, but why restraints on magic? Then it's not magic then it's the "magic or science" from "the Sorceress Apprentice" movie from 2010.
    - Schools in the wizarding world (I haven't heard of language "english/french/bulgarian" classes, that teaches reading/wrighting/speaking or maths/geometry? Are there schools for magical children before the age of 11?) Also getting sorted into four different "houses" in one school is strange. But then the students are not separated in the classrooms? Seems like it's only in quidditch and house points.

They're about 15 minutes long, there's over 20 of them and they're all about the difficulties of this father of 2 kids: 1 like Harry Potter and the other like the girl from Twilight. He has lots of conversations with the school about just how unsafe the Forbidden Forest and stuff are. It's a very interesting and funny one man show. I highly recommend it to those interested in such things.

    Just because Hagrid said that Harry could fit in one hand doesn't mean he carried him like that, Harrid was merely saying how small Harry was.
    And I was always under the belief that Hagrid's breeding of blast ended skrewt was at the request of the Ministry for the final task in the tournament. This is because 1) they were used in the task and 2) there was no investigate or action taken against Hagrid by the Ministry after Rita published he had been breeding them. If they were that illegal people at the ministry or connected to the ministry (Malfoy perhaps) would have pushed for punishment.

    Also, also Dumbledore needs a scathing review. I know you guys are pro Dumbledore, but… he leaves Harry in an abusive home and does nothing about it because abuse victims are easier to control. He’s raising child soldiers to fight this war. He’s raising Harry as a pig for slaughter (I’m not giving him credit for the glint of triumph.). And let’s not forget that he didn’t actually properly prepare Harry for the mission he was given. At the end of Goblet he tells Fudge a laundry list of things he needs to do now that Voldemort is back, but it’s too late to do anything except remove the dementors. He had 13 years to befriend giants and werewolves to sway them to his side and did nothing. Also, also look at how he treats Sirius. My theory is that he left Sirius in Azkaban so that he couldn’t interfere with Dumbledore’s plans for Harry. It would be much harder if Harry had a parental figure in his life. He also lets Sirius starve in a cave for a year during Goblet. Does he achieve the greater good? Sure. Does he do some evil things to get there. Most definitely.

    • @bruhdon4748
      @bruhdon4748 Місяць тому +2

He never knew Sirius was innocent until PoA so of course he was fine with Sirius being in Azkaban, it has nothing to do with his plans for Harry. As for how Sirius languished in a cave starving and alone for the entirety of GoF, well Dumbledore simply had no knowledge of this, so there's nothing he could have done.

    • @KudaKeileon
      @KudaKeileon Місяць тому +5

      Most of your points have an incorrect premise.
      Him leaving Harry with the Dursleys has nothing to do with abuse victims being easier to control and everything to do with the Bond of Blood.
      Teaching children how to perform magic in a society where you teach children how to perform magic is not raising child soldiers.
      Third point is correct.
      He very much tried to properly prepare Harry, but a lot happened that he couldn't have foreseen.
      It's not too late for Fudge to do anything, Fudge just won't listen.
      Werewolves aren't a consolidated society (and are often secretive about their nature) and yeah he probably could have sent Hagrid to the giants early. Alone. Yeah.
      Dumbledore had no idea Sirius was innocent until the end of Prisoner, after he'd already broken out. It has nothing to do with controlling Harry. It was about keeping Harry safe from a convicted murderer.
      I don't even remember what Sirius is up to in Goblet so I have no opinion on that.

By the time anyone else shows up the dead is done. And yet the entire wizarding world knows about an event from which no one is available to give witness. My personal theory is that Hagrid took baby Harry down to the Leaky Cauldron and presented him like some kind of pries while telling everyone he'd survived the killing curse. It's the only thing that makes Harry's sudden climb to fame make sense.

Like if in the last book Hagrid would have been a death eater, it wouldn't have surprised me. He's like the opposite of Snape. Where with Snape, we always kind of think he's a bad guy, but the more we learn about him, we start to question whether he really is or isn't by his actions (always giving Harry subtle hints etc) then we find out he isn't.
