It has to do with the fact that Draco's parents literally INDOCTRINATED him with the idea that pure-blood families (such as theirs) are superior and the others must be treated as skum. They even had a say in his choice of friends: He was only allowed to befriend pure-bloods such as Crabbe and Goyle. They influenced every aspect of his life. Still think he's a genuine bad guy? I sure don't.

    I think one of the reasons that the trio are not in the top tiers is just because we have closely read about most of their actions or emotions, we have seen the good and the bas sides (which is the case for most people, well, except umbridge) I feel. Characters like ginny and others are truly side characters so we mostly see figments of their personalities (plus given that the book is from Harry's POV, ginny is obviously gonna look better).

    This is my hot take… but I think Ron was in the right when it comes the the whole scabbers and crookshanks thing, like yeah because we found it scabbers was Peter pettigrew then it was fine but they didn’t know that. And Hermione to me was being careless and didn’t bother about making sure crookshanks was away from scabbers and wouldn’t listen to Ron when he was concerned about his pet being killed. Yeah Ron might have took it too far, but I think he wasn’t in the wrong if you don’t think of him as Peter pettigrew, it’s normal to be upset.

    • @joeyjerry1586
      @joeyjerry1586 2 роки тому +174

      I completely agree. The worst part is Hermione is perfectly aware that cats chase rats and so is perfectly aware of what she’s doing when she has Crookshanks around when Scabbers is also around and dismisses any sort of near murder of Scabbers as natural. If that’s the case, why the fuck would she bring crookshanks around.

    • @clover2739
      @clover2739 2 роки тому +116

      @@joeyjerry1586 exactly… like Ron has his moments of being mean for stupid reasons because he’s an angsty jealous teenager. But his feelings with the scabbers situation are completely justified, and if it was the other way around and it was Hermione’s pet and Ron was being dismissive about it. I 100% bet people would be on Hermione’s side and Ron will be seen as the bad guy. Like didn’t Hermione also bring crookshanks to the boys dormitory? And all Ron wanted was Hermione to apologise or actually do something about crookshanks to stop him going for his pet. The fact that scabbers was Peter pettigrew makes people go like ‘well Ron was in the wrong!’ But that doesn’t change anything for the actual argument. Hermione didn’t know anything like that she was just allowing her cat to do what he wants without consequences and didn’t care about Ron’s feelings. Plus Hermione that same book put down lavender’s pets death just because she doesn’t like divination. She’s a grey character but she wasn’t the nicest in that book either.

    I usually side with the books but there are times when I have to admit the movies did something better. In particular from watching this video, I think Sirius Black is an example. In the movie he was a better godfather to Harry, and I was pretty happy with his line, "You're *not* a bad person. You're a good person that bad things have happened to."

    • @clover2739

      I disagree, I get movie Sirius was more like a godfather but it makes less sense for his character. Book Sirius was traumatised and more realistic and his flaws made sense. A man spending all those years since his early 20’s locked up in prison after losing his best friend being surrounded by dementors… I don’t think he’s going to suddenly be better and more wise and mature afterwards

    Yeah, Alot of people like Draco in teh films because of Tom Felton but another reason is that Draco's just more redeemable in the films in my opinion. They cut out a lot of awful things he did such as laughing at Cedrics death and instead made him look sad while Dumbledore was acknowledging Cedric. They also show him being depressed from the start of the 6th film while in the start fo the 6th book he was bragging about his task and he was rarely shown bullying other students. The movies make him seem more sympathetic to me.

    I think part of why Harry is just an "okay" character is because he is also the audience surrogate. He knows as much about the Wizarding world as we do. So he's in since ways forced into the hero role, but also the info sponge for us. He's not as void of character or personality as many "every man" types can be, but he is definitely surrounded by bigger personalities - like Slughorn or Luna

      He tried to tell Neville, Luna and Ginny not to come with him to the Department of Mysteries, and he tried to tell Ron and Hermione not to join him on the horcrux hunt.
      He even successfully stopped Lupin from joining in on the horcrux hunt too.
      If anything, these people only got themselves in danger because they forced themselves into it.

      What pissed me off about Dumbledore was how secretive he was about everything up until the end. Why? did he think noone except him would understand or what? The fact that everything happened to work out in the end was pretty lucky. Like imagine if Snape died before Harry took the memory and never learnt that he had to sacrifice himself, or literally anything in 7th book failed during their quest to uncover what the hell Dumbledore wanted. Harry, Snape and most of his other friends proved themselves as capable and loyal time and time again and Dumbledore still acted like they just met him, and didnt deserve any meaningful insight. I would understand if maybe he was betrayed somehow before. But I dont recall anything of the sort. Pettigrew betrayal was betrayal of his friend group, not Dumbledore. Other people like Grindelwald seemed more like a value disagreement than betrayal. So if he didnt have any experience with big betrayals and his supporters proved to be loyal and competent, then only other option is a god complex to me. That he really just naturally felt like he had a big plan and people around just wouldnt understand, they could only get some pieces and be slowly lead to correct actions.
      On the other hand, he was a great character. I wouldnt place him to bad tier either, but I agree that he had flaws that were just frustrating to read. Like jesus, when I read the 5th book. Why not explain to Harry why he needs to learn oclumancy at the beginning.
      "You see Harry, when you had a vision with Mr Weasley, that was actually view of Voldemort possessing a snake, so you saw into his mind. We fear that this is a 2 way tunnel. For now he is probably not aware of this connection but soon he might try accessing your mind, or give you visions that are not real, torturing someone else you like, to trick you. So please, you have to learn to close your mind, and any time you have a vision just bring it up to me or any other order member like Professor Snape or McGonagal"
      There. It would save tons of mental problems that Harry had and maybe even Sirius.

    I think a majority of his bad actions came from a place of hurt ( again not and excuse, just an explaination ). His abusive upbringing, bullying, having hardly any friends. Lily was the only one EVER to really care for him.

He always made the hard choices even if he didn't want to do it (and I believe he felt terrible for Harry and hated himself for it).
    Dumbledore feels like a tragic character to me, he thinks he deserves to be punished and would always burden himself and letting others out, and when someone found out they would hate Dumbledore, just as Dumbledore himself thinks he deserves.

    Luna goes in the best: Harry even named his daughter Lily Luna Potter. He named her after Luna because:
    In Order of the Phoenix, Luna is one of only a small handful of people who support Harry and believe Harry when he tells the truth about Voldemort’s return.
    Luna fought with Harry and his friends in the Department of Mysteries, showing her bravery and loyalty.
    After Sirius dies, Luna is calm and comfort Harry at least a bit when even Hermione can’t. Harry learns Luna lost her mom when she was 9 and at this point Harry and Luna become kindred spirits who can understand and relate to each other because of their common experience of loss. Harry actually remembers now that Luna can also see thestrals.
    In Half Blood Prince, Luna is of the very few D.A. members who actually responds to Hermione’s summons on the night Dumbledore dies, again showing her loyalty.
    In Deathly Hallows, for as long she can, restarts the D.A. with Ginny and Neville and becomes one of it’s leaders,
    Luna gives a very moving speech in tribute to Dobby after Dobby dies. Here, Luna shows her sense of respect.
    Harry sees the portraits of himself of his friends that Luna has hanging in her bedroom with the words friends that she had painted. Harry would have been very moved by that.
    After the end of the war, when Harry was tired and unwanting of attention, Luna created a distraction long enough for Harry to get his invisibility cloak so that he can move freely and peacefully. In this moment, Luna understands what Harry really needs and helps him get it.
    Holistically, Harry views Luna as loyal, kind, respectful, and understanding.
    Harry and Luna never had a fight or falling out, this proves how strong, meaningful and genuine their friendship is.

      Malfoy is a tragic character. He put up a facade that he was a bada$$ and evil and would kill for the cause, but in the end he was just a product of his environment. He was made to believe he was better than everyone by his parents. As for his prejudice, he had that drilled into him since birth. You can't fault him for believing it. He was just a child. But when it came down to it he showed his true colours. He could've turned to the dark side but he didn't because that's not who or what he truly was. He wasn't evil, he was just scared for himself and his mother and father.

    I also think Sirius is not given enough slack. He was tormented by dementors in Azkaban for 12 years and labeled as one of the worst people in the wizarding world. He was framed for murdering his 2 best friends and their child, something he would never do. Sirius has so many great qualities. He was fiercely loyal, willing to kill or die to save the people he loved, and he willingly risked himself multiple times for Harry in only a 2 year span. He escaped Azkaban just to find Harry and be a godfather to him!
    As for his treatment of Snape (he didn’t really bully anyone else in the books), remember that Sirius came from a family of dark wizards and defied all of them. He was therefore very much biased against dark wizards, which Snape showed signs of being. Is that really such a bad thing? Think about how many other kids were raised by dark wizards and took their prejudiced beliefs! Sirius actively defied them as a child and bullied dark wizards in retaliation instead. He’s rebellious in the best possible ways.
    He’s one of my favorite characters for sure, even if I understand the gripes Molly and Hermione have about him. I also understand the movies portrayed him in a far more positive light, particularly the fifth movie where he was such a great role model for Harry. One of the areas where I think the films beat the books.

      What would you call it then? Cuz it certainly is weird. Like, when a girl get MARRIED to someone else, it is already overdue for you to start looking for others. He was a bit obsessed. He was too smart to do anything about it, and I assure you he wanted to get her back, but he knew that there was no way. Perhaps he had given up on her being with him. That still makes it pathetic. Look, he was not sad in the slightest for setting a death sentence on a child, it was only when it affected THE ONE person to ever show him kindness (because he was a terrible person), that he actually cared. Even then, it was ONLY about her.
      Everything he did in his life, he did for this girl, that didn't actually like him in any way after an incident when they were 15 years old.

      Not because he wanted her to be with him.
      Because he wanted her to live.
      Literally, what benefit was there to saving Lily *and her family* if he wanted her to himself - nothing.
      I don't see why doing an act of love, and not accepting anything in return, should be viewed as a terrible thing.
      It's literally the one selfless act this terrible, terrible man commits.
      I mean, what would you rather want him to do, “Oh? Lily Potter? Nah, it's cool, fam. She rejected me, and as a completely healthy individual that's able to move on, I'm totally capable of smiling as you slaughter her. Make sure to teabag the husband on your way out. Really just pants his corpse to be found later.”
      Obviously, that's an extreme strawman, but essentially, that's what it sounds like you're arguing for, letting Snape's most defining act to either come out of nowhere or for him to do nothing at all. The former would still have fandom painting Snape as an incel simp, the latter would have deprived Snape of his depth.

      I admit I worded it kind of harshly in the last comment. I am just tired of people redeeming his character because of that.
      Love, in and of itself is a beautiful thing. But just because somebody's love life is so limited, it literally stretches to ONE person, does not necessarily mean it is some inhuman levels of love.
      With that said, I think the misunderstanding is with my definition of obsession. In my opinion, he is obsessed with Lily. That does not mean it is hurtful to the people around him, but it is kind of destructive for someone to only care about 1 person.
      If living for ONE person even after their dead is not an obsession, then I might have misunderstood the word :)
      The "pathetic" thing, is not the love for Lily. It's just his incapability of loving others, to the extent of him only actually wanting to save Lily to begin with. Harry, and James are useless to him. He was full set on having Voldemort kill a baby, until he found out that the baby's mother incidentally was THE ONE person he was capable of caring for (maybe except Dumbledore).

The problem is that we are only told but not shown how he pulls his head out of his ass and stops hexing people in the hallways for a laugh. Also your ranking is not meant to be about how good or bad they are, just on the character alone. Yet with James and a bunch of others you chuck that reasoning out and base it on whether the character was good or bad. Like Umbridge and Snape, they’re both objectively bad but as characters they’re great. Yet you rated them bad. Voldemort’s also bad but he’s a great and interesting character and you rated him good. So unfortunately this entire video means very little as you’re inconsistent at how you rate the characters.

He also knew his weaknesses therefore he rejected being in a position of power (ministry of magic). That for me is being a great character.

    I really like this tier list, I don't agree with everything (obviously) but I really like your reasons behind every character, it's fresh to see and kind of gives me a new perspective on some characters.

    I also don’t like how Rowling made James Potter a cruel bully only to reward him with Lily in the end. Sure it sets up the whole series and he changed his ways in his seventh year but it just rubs me up the wrong way. He never faced any sanction or penalty for his actions. Now that I think of it, Hogwarts seriously has a bullying problem.

    I love how the silver trio (Ginny, Neville and Luna) are all higher up than the golden trio (Ron, Harry and Hermione).

    In defence of Ron, I think hermione was at fault in the pet argument. No one knew that scabbers could fake his own death. And hermione consistently ignored ron complaints that her cat was trying to eat scabbers and justified it was his nature and then when there was actual blood on the sheets she just refused it. And Ron himself admits that all he wanted was an apology and that was it.

      The bottom line is that the falling out between Ron and Hermione in Prisoner of Azkaban is Ron's fault. The reason it is Ron's fault is because of how inappropriately he handled the initial disappearance of Scabbers. Ron was absolutely in the wrong to shake bedsheets in Hermione's face and yell at her in one of the most public settings of Hogwarts, the Gryffindor Common Room. Ron later meanly freezes Hermione out of the food party in the Gryffindor Common Room after their Quidditch win over Ravenclaw. When Harry tries to help Hermione, he yells again and makes poor Hermione run off crying. When confronted by Harry by this, Ron unfairly says "If she just acted like she was sorry" The problem with this is that Ron had no right to expect an apology from Hermione for anything unless and until he first apologized to her for shaking bedsheets in her face, yelling at her, and humiliating her in front of the whole common room. Personally, the ONLY way I will EVER apologize to anyone for anything is if the person who feels wronged by me informs me of how they feel they've been wronged by me in a 100% calm, 100% polite, 100% classy, 100% non yelling, and 100% non in your face manner. If someone yells at me, humiliates me, gets in my face, and shakes materials in my face, I will NEVER apologize to them for anything even if it is an indisputable truism that I owe them an apology unless and until they first apologize to me for the yelling, humiliation, in your faceness, etc. Bare in mind that being humiliated is a MUCH worse position to be in than the position Ron was in. Then, later on, Ron won't listen to Hagrid when Hagrid gives his correct perspective that Ron should value his friend more than rats. Remember: FRIENDS SHOULD ALWAYS BE VALUED ABOVE PETS! NO EXCEPTIONS!. Even minor level friendships such as Harry Potter and Katie Bell should always be valued above pets. Harry should care MUCH more about Katie than about Hedwig. Since Ron and Hermione are actually close friends, it's MUCH more true that Ron should care far more about Hermione than about Scabbers. The caveat is this: If Ron would have approached Hermione in a classy and polite manner and informed her of what he thought had happened and what his evidence was in a classy and polite manner, he would then have been justified in expecting an apology from Hermione. Here's what Ron should have done: He should have left the bedsheets in the dorm, calmly approached Hermione in the common room, and asked her for a word. He should then have asked her to follow him up to his dorm and talked to her in private. He then should have showed Hermione the bedsheets and cat hairs and explained that Scabbers was gone and that the evidence pointed to Crookshanks eating Scabbers without yelling. Had Ron handled the situation this way and Hermione still completely denied that the evidence pointed to Crookshanks eating Scabbers, Ron would have been MUCH more justified in becoming angry with Hermione after that. But, Ron needed to understand that no one is going to apologize for anything if you yell at them, humiliate them, or shake materials in their face. Acting like that is only going to rile people up and make people angry and defensive. Being yelled at will also freak most people out. While "friends should always be valued above pets" is a hill I will forever die on, I would have MUCH more respect for the opinion that Hermione should have apologized to Ron if Ron himself had handled himself in a classy manner like he should have.

      @@michaelsloane9955 and who are you to decide what should be a bigger problem to someone...? Harry and Katie weren't even close, she was pretty much his acquaintance. I assure you I cried much more after losing my bird than after losing touch with some random people from my school. Also, I would be even harsher on Hermione if she refused to stay away with her cat, then refused to admit if was probably her cat's fault and finally disrespected my feelings :)

    Bellatrix is the best villain, better than Voldemort, but funnily enough her obsession with him and him dunking on her also adds to her character uniqueness, but still i think she is infinitely better villain in my opinion

    I feel like some of the logic for some of the reasons for not liking characters are a bit flawed when they are the same reason you like some other characters. Might just be me but 🤷🏻‍♂️
