Make sense if u think about it. The video also stated that Vernon Dudley hated those appearing to be more ‘noble’ (like those who wore suit? Or old school?), and that’s literally what the Potter family resemble. They’re such a nobility that they’re the RIGHTFUL HEIR to the mysterious cloaking coat. And the way James acts and try to raise Harry actually resembles the traditional nobility. Snape on the other hand, although a Wizard & half-blood, probably got looked down by those more aristocratic ones (that’s maybe why James Potter & his friends were such d***s against him), and he resented them too. So they share some kind of resentment to the ‘upper class’, especially the ‘old money elites’ that the likes of Potter family resembles.
have y'all not watched the last movie i'm just saying Snape is good and was trying to protect Harry but was being rude cause he didn't want Harry to know plus Snape is wizard and Vernon hated magic
I can too some days. Like if I say two words everyone says I talk to much and yells at me to shut up. If I'm quiet they think something's wrong with me and try to get me to socialize -_-
spitfire126 EXACTLY I say one sentence and everyone yells at me to stop talking so much and then complain when I don’t want to talk to them and it’s so frustrating
That conversation Dudley had with Harry before he left, telling him he doesn't think hes a waste of space meant so much more to Harry than any of them realized. Honestly it's kind of moving. I wish they had kept it in the film
yes , it is optimistic . showing people can change . Some people do change their views ; when they see the light . Dudley as a child was poisoned by his father ; who was bigoted ; probably beyond redemption but sometimes growing up and getting outside views and perhaps starting to form their own opinions . Malfoy too was beginning to see Harry was not what his father was saying and at the end was showing his will to change .
ladynoir forlife was she really treated that way ? Or did her jealousy and hurt make it seem that way 👀🤔as a parent it’s kind of hard to raise a child that bully the other for being different . Just because they can’t be 👀👀
It's sad that if the roles were reversed and something happened to Vern and petunia James and Lily would have accepted him and loved him like he was there own.
Props to Harry for not turning into a bad person. With all the mistreatment and abuse, most people who experience those situations ends up being screwed.
same with dudley, im surprised he ended up thinking for himself towards the end. saying he didn’t understand why harry wasn’t coming and actually going up to harry saying that he didn’t think he was a waste of space. most of the time, becoming a bad person is learned behavior, you learn that from trauma and from the people you’re around and dudley grew up around some vile parents.
He recognized how the durlseys hurt him and he realized he didn't want to make anybody else feel that way, because he never truly wanted to hurt anybody. Which is what made him a significantly better person than the dursleys, specifically Vernon and petunia.
1st year: the year of high voices 2nd year: the year of voice drops 3rd year: the year of good looks 4th year: the year of no haircuts 5th year: the year of sweatiness 6th year: the year of teen drama 7th year: the year of several deaths
I love how when Hogwarts realized they couldn’t sent anymore letters to Harry, they just sent the biggest, burliest man they had to basically kidnap him.
SunlightAngel87 yeah but petunia didn’t like her sister she didn’t care I know because I’ve watched the cursed child and she HATED a her sister and Harry LOVED his mother as much as he hates Malfoy
@@xxkoalakoalaxx1981 The cursed child is shit and no Petunia did love Lily but was jealous because she could never be like her but after so many years pretending that she hated her the love for her was locked deep inside but in the end she did regretted not being closed with her sister and did care for harry in her own way
I honestly feel bad for Petunia, although I still hate her for venting her anger to harry. But just imagine if your sibling has magic and you are just a muggle....
I don't feel sorry for her. Her being a muggle is no excuse for her being envious of her sister to the point she hurts Lily emotionally. Like yeah she also wanted to be part of hogwarts, but she didn't and it's still okay. The only thing I can feel sorry about is how they favoured lily over her, but that's it.
I saw headcanon videos I don’t really remember but it just said how Harry and Dudley made up then years later his daughter got her letter and was in huffelpuff
To be honest the last 5 to 10 minutes I started to cry because Petunia really cared about Lilly and still felt guilty in how she treated her son. It was quite emotional for me.
“I don’t think you’re a waste of space” “Sweet dudders saying thank you” “But he only said Harry wasn’t a waste of space” Yeah but coming from Dudley that’s like I love you”
Yes, why am I imagining that? And snakes can't walk. The sneks slither. Also, here's the entire Harry Potter series in Dumbledore's eyes. 1. The year Harry saved that gem stone thingy that was my dead friend's. btw. 2. The year Harry talked to sneks 3. The year Harry met his murderer godfather who wasn't a murderer and his best friend who I made his teacher who's also a werewolf which Harry's weird book friend figured out (lot going on that year) and I heard something about a cat? 4. The year I yelled at Harry because someone who wanted to murder him put his name in this blue fire thing 5. The year I was kicked out by a pink ASSHOLE and Harry didn't even care 6. The year Harry watched me go OOF 7. The year I like talked to Harry at King's Cross because he was dead but then wasn't dead and I was like go Hare Bear lmao??
Petunia was literally only 22/23 when her parents and sister died. Then when she's finally getting her life on track, her sister's (who she didn't get along with) son gets stuck with her. Her abuse of Harry is unacceptable but it puts into perspective how young and immature she was
No it was Dumbledore who FORCE HARRY on them and made it clear what he will do to them if ever harry WAS FORCE out of that house before he was 18. Its a very dark PLOT that was left untold.
I actually kinda like how Dudley was throughout this. He started off being an absolute piece of crap to Harry. Beat him up, took his stuff, made fun of him. But eventually he ended up maturing more after a while. he ended up trying to be nicer towards the end, even if he didnt want to admit it openly to Harry, and basically thanked him for his help with the dementors. him asking why Harry wasnt coming with them almost comes off as being concerned about it, since he knew that they were leaving to be protected and he didnt understand why harry wouldnt be coming with them for that. and even though he and Harry didnt talk much or meet up very often IRL, he still ended up being hospitable to him and sending him cards on christmas, even letting his own kids play with Harry's, assumably becoming more open to his magic and the wizarding world. It may have been mostly unseen but he still grew as a person. The Dudley from book one would never have even said "see ya harry"
I would like to see a film of the new generation at Hogwarts - Dudley could have met a friend of Harry's and had a magical child with her, maybe it would make Petunia change and possibly reconcile with Harry.
Dumbledore: You did not do as I ask. You have never treated Harry as a son. He has known nothing but neglect and often cruelty at your hands. Vernon: You didn't send child support. Dumbledore:
I understand Petunia’s sadness and pain of being overshadowed and extremely jealous, but she has to understand that Harry, her nephew, is after all innocent. She is empathised by Potterheads, but she and Vernon should not be forgiven by passing on the anguish as an adult to a new generation. Also, Lily didn’t ask for her special quality of being a witch. It’s just genetically in her blood.
Although people empathised with Petunia for her pain and jealousy doesn't mean that people forgive her abusive actions towards Harry. After all, Harry is the only one that can forgive his aunt and uncle. She cut off her relationship with Lily because she wanted to move on from her sorrow and connection to the world that she once admired, and build a new life away from that. but with the arrival of Harry into her new world that she had built away from the wizarding world, making her efforts shattered and wasted. She has options in her hand when she received harry, either to treat him well or abuse him. it is only a matter of her decision, and she chooses to abuse him. it's a beautiful representation of how a human being is, we know what's good and what's bad, yet the heart decided it.
@@dofinoah Petunia should've been a descent human being instead of taking her anger, jealousy, frustrations, and resent fulness of her sister into her nephew, I understand her pain but her actions cam never be justified or excused in any way, Harry doesn't deserve to be treated like that.
@@sshekher37 Dudley shakes Harry’s hand and says his I Love You to his cousin which they are both like brothers. Vernon is embarrassed about everything that happened for the last 17 years and is awkward around Harry now and knows that he is a bad influence because of the Dumbledore visit. Petunia is undoubtably the most affected as she has lost her parents and sister to Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Petunia is PTSD about her sister dying and tells Harry the Harry didn’t just lose a mother, Petunia lost her sister. Harry should have hugged his aunt and tells her that he understand why Petunia became the way who she is and how broken she is and that they are both similar in some very good ways.
@@soggybread5713 from novel i guess, (i didn't read the novel yet honestly) but there's a deleted scene that aunt petunia said "I lost a sister" and dudley shake Harry hand. You could find it on UA-cam.
@@amyschildgamerlive4519 ah I get the joke. But my joke was that sears is gone in the USA now. BTW I did know what sears was, I just wanted to joke a bit
@@octonia6782 He was 11 and was spoiled by both of his parents. You can forgive Dudley since he was raised to think Harry's bad, so it wasn't really his fault. Petunia and Vernon, on the other hand, are full-grown adults, and they're responsible for their own actions.
Twice Lily stood up for someone she cared deeply about, trying to make things better for them, and they both threw it directly back in her face: Petunia and Snape. Lily saw how disappointed Petunia was about being rejected from Dumbledore and said she'd change his mind. Petunia called her a freak. Lily defended Snape when he was being mercilessly bullied, and then he called her a mudblood.
You make me fall in love with harry potter series all over again.. It shows all the hard work and love you put into each video. Thank you..Great voice.. keep up the great work
I can't blame Petunia and Dudley, because: 1. Petunia was just jealous of her sister, and she wanted to be magic as well, but she didn't. She saved blanked, and she said: *You didn't just lost mother that night, I lost a sister.* 2. Dadley give Harry a cup of tea, like thankfull gift for saving his life. But I can BLAME Vernon!!!
@Professor Dumbledore Well, I guess you're correct. I sometimes just wish The Harry Potter Universe had a lot of stuff in it, kinda like star wars. Like in star wars there's so much more than just lightsabers and the force, and there are lots and lots of powerful characters. I wonder if there is a character in Harry Potter more powerful than Dumbledore, and I either J.K. Rowling or the Warner Brothers and add more...
I feel bad for Petunia, but I feel even worse for Lily, and I admire that no matter how many times Petunia hurt her, she never stopped loving her, and always wanted to repair their relationship.
Harry was five when he saw Dudley tell Petunia "Happy Mother's Day Mummy!" At the age of five, he went into the garden and picked a flower, which he gave to his aunt saying "Happy Mother's Day!" When Petunia thanked him and sent him away. She burst into tears. The flower Harry had given her was a Lilly.
7Lawaneeena ok firstly: James matured quicker and more than Dudley. Second Dudley was physically hurting random kids severely, he’s a spoiled brat. James was nice to the people who he cared about atleast
@@shiyuhe3499 james also hurt random people. remember when harry had to sort stuff in the archives in 6th year after sectumsempra? there was one about james and sirius making a persons head go huge or something and i guess that hurts... but james was better than dudley anyways i think james had it easier in his early life tho like i dont think vernon and petunia were the perfect parents for dudley...
If you remove James bullying Severus, James was supportive of his friends. He cared about Remus Lupin even after the truth of him being a werewolf came out. Dudley would have never done something like this.
Life of the Dursley’s Step 1: Wake up Step 2: Bully Harry Step 3: Torture him Step 4: Sit back and sip tea while watching him suffer while laughing on the inside Step 5: sleep Step 6: repeat
She does deserve to be understood. Her life was in shadow of her sister and tragically her happiest time in her life may be before Lily went to Hogwarts. She may not be forgiven for her crimes against harry but she should be understood.
I think deep down Petunia truly loved Harry. Especially, after reading that letter from Dumbledore. Think about it. 10 years Harry was protected under his mother's love which lived on through Petunia. She may never admit but she MUST have loved him.
She would have never treated Harry like that if she had been accepted to hog warts and had magic therefore she would have not started hating her sister and so if she would have loved her sister as much as she used to, she would not treat her sister's son like a slave
Great Ima if anybody, I feel bad for Lilly because of how Petunia had turned her back on her due to her jealousy about not having been born a witch and suppressing Harry's knowledge of the wizarding world
do u know why he has that title: Because he was the only wizard ever to survive a killing curse to the face not because he was never was in the hands of death
I feel bad for her in the sense where her issues with Lily came from. It was all jealousy and being bitter, as horrible as the qualities are it's understandable. Constantly being in the shadow of your sister who was your parent's favourite, your sister who was treated like golden child and getting invited to Hogwarts while you're just sidelined and have to watch all that happen. It doesn't excuse her treatment of Harry but it's understandable how Petunia became so bitter.
@B PI agree. The good thing about J. K Rowling's characters is that you can't point at one and clearly say good or bad. All of them have a deep personality. Besides Dolores Umbridge. She is bad. Straight thought evil.
@@gabrielmunoz9584 Nope. Here's the excerpt from the book: "Mrs. Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences, spying on the neighbors."
Dumbledore: "as long as harry can call the place where his mother's blood still lives on, the protection will last." Harry: *"Hogwarts is my home"* Edit: wait no this wasn't suppose to happen
I don’t like Voldemort as much as any other person, but in his defense, he was conceived under the entrancement of a love potion, which made him incapable of feeling love.
Harry Potter:A boy who went to hell and back so,so many times.He was the one to defeat the Dark Lord while being the bravest in the darkest of times. Harry Potter,one of the bravest charters ever made. He had barely any family yet he made it through Hermione Granger:A girl teased because she was muggle born. She shone like the sun acheiving all of her goals. Ronald Weasley:A boy who was in the shadow of Harry Potter. He felt underappreciated but he was the one to destroy 1 of Voldemort's Horcruxes. He is a great wizard,amazing sense of humor and overall a loyal friend
don't forget ron being shadowed by all his brothers as well. molly and arthur wanted a daughter but instead had ron as another son before ginny, and ron thinks they were disappointed with him.
@@muffingfx Tbh it didn't help his family's case when he became a prefect and everyone acted like he grew a second head, especially when they all believed Harry when they thought he was one. That had had to have hurt.
Petunia's story was unexpectededly touching. The older sister, envious of her younger sister's inate powers, forcing herself to live a life of absolute normality in order to set herself apart from her "freak" sister, burying her love, mourning and loss deep inside her and never being able to accept her nephew, as it would force her to admit that she truly missed her witch sister and once longed to be part of that world. None of the Dursley's were evil. Dudley was ultimately the victim of being spoiled from the day he was born. Petunia couldn't accept Harry, as he reminded her of her dead younger sister and her guilt. And Vernon, while being a generally not very likable person, did truly love his family.
Me: I'll never relate to any of the Dursleys. *watches this video and learns Petunia wanted to be a part of the Wizarding World but couldn't be* Me: Nevermind.
I didn’t know Petunia passed Harry’s baby blanked to him in her will. That is so sweet, it actually made me tear up a little. I wish we could have gotten more of Petuna’s internal conflict. It’s so interesting to me.
I mean vernon is arguably the worst Dursley. Because at least Dudley redeemed himself and Petunia's attitude was at least understandable (not necessarily justifiable) towards Harry and feels a bit of a connection towards the end, but Vernon didn’t even do anything.
And you actually understand Petunia’s feelings. She was jealous of her sister, resentful towards her for being left behind, and then ashamed of cutting her out, and then when she died and Petunia couldn’t right her wrongs she had to either admit she was a bad person or continue digging in her heels. Vernon was just prejudice and probably had the same limited world views about everything.
I like the fan theory that the horcrux inside Harry was negatively affecting the Dursleys making them far worse people than they would have been otherwise much like how the evil in the One Ring had a negative effect on Frodo during the LOTR.
I understand why Pertunia was so angry with Lilly, we all understand how amazing the wizarding world seems and to have your sister get to witness It whilst you are left at home is really heartbreaking
I understand Petunia's feelings, but honestly making your sister's kid's life miserable is just a low blow. If I was her, I would have at least cared for Harry and tried to be a decent human being, it would be a nice redemption for her
What I've always found weird is that Harry hated Draco more than he hated Dudley. He even thought in the book that "Draco Malfoy made Dudley Dursley look like a kind, sensitive boy." I don't get that, Dudley and Malfoy seemed to treat him similarly, for different reasons tho.
@@reddeath5791 plus Dudley was raised to treat Harry badly due to his magic but backed off whenever Harry pulled out the wand, Draco treated Harry badly purely because he refused Draco's offer of friendship, was petty as hell about it and constantly antagonized him. All because Harry refused his offer
@@jacksixterror spot on. Draco was also more cunning. He told rita skeeter stuff about harry so she could tell sell it in newspapers plus getting Buckbeack an execution sentence
@RedDeath5 Dracos family is also notorious and has connections in the Wizarding world. Which Harry barely knows exist. Draco also has a squad of goons even more physically intimidating.
Dudley wont kill anyone though, Malfoy would. He even tried to use Unforgivable Curse on Harry one time. And he seems SO HAPPY the huge snake came out and basically threaten the lives of the muggle borns wizards. I reckon Dudley would be terrified of either situations and ran away. He is naughty, not cruel. If he is he would already tried to kill Harry years ago.
I cried 😫😭 because there is NO MORE Harry potter!! Yes I know fantastic beasts is there but NO more Harry potter!! Yes I know cursed child is there but it's NOT the same!!
The thing is, you really can understand Petunia's pain. The rage built up of her parents acknowledging how gifted Lily was making her so jealous. She must have never felt like was good enough, at least until she met Vernon. It hurts even more knowing that Lily only wanted what was best for her sister.
I always felt bad for her it must suck knowing that your sister is special but you don’t have the same powers as her and it didn’t seem like her parents even tried to comfort her I would’ve been the same if that happened to me
I underatand that the dursleys neglected harry, but dudleys character arc is honestly one of the saddest. Saying goodbye to one of the people he knew since he was a child. Even though he was a bully, he was a kind soul (example: Tea)
Petunia could not save Lilly but she could protect Harry and she did when Vernon tried to throw him out risking him being killed by Voldemort I always remembered that
Imagine how crushing it would be to witness all of the cool sh*! your sibling could do, find out that there's a school that teaches magic, wanting to go there so badly that you literarly write a message to the school's headmaster, only to be told that you're not special enough to go, but your sibling is. That really had to hurt.
I have watched all of the ‘life of Harry Potter characters’ and his voice makes me feel so much better inside. Idk these videos just make my day so much better. He needs to start making podcasts so I can start listening to these at school.
Very well structured and made, our opinions dont always align but your content is always very factual and well researched, awesome stuff, and you cover a lotta my favorite franchises
Dudley: Can You Pass The Bacon? Harry: You Forgot The Magic Word Me: ACCIO BACON! Edit: What will happen next? Find out on the next episode of My Hero Academia! Spoiler: i got expelled from hogwarts for performing magic in front of a muggle
The fact that Harry looked like his dad really caused a lot of problems for him. From Snape to Vernon Dursley, so many ppl despised Harry because he reminded them of James who, lets face it, wasnt always the best.
I don't want to redeem the Dursleys in any way nor do I want them to be forgiven because after all they absused an innocent child but I can definitely understand their fear and annoyance with magic. Imagine you just want to live your life and then wizzards blow up your whole living room or in invite you to win a prize that doesn't even exist. Apart from that it was also a wizzard that killed Lily and tried to kill Harry. I would be scared and annoyed too at some point. I also cried at the end of the video when the story with the blanket got told... And also that Dudley and Harry stayed in contact. I actually think that at least Petunia and Dudley are hinted at to be pretty complex characters and I would have loved If that potential would have been used a little bit more.
@@trayivk I Completely Disagree With That Statement! I Think That If Petunia Was A Witch Like Her Sister, Then She And Her Sister Lily Would Attend Hogwarts Together. By 1980 Petunia Would Off Fled To Canada For Her Safety. The Story Would Go Similar To How It Was In Canon With Lily Sacrificing Herself To Save Harry Resulting In Voldemort Apparent Death, After Voldemort's Disappearance The Ministry Of Magic Started Rounding Up The Remaining Death Eaters. Dumbledore Sends Petunia Harry And A Letter Telling Petunia Of Her Sister's Death And The Hands Of Lord Voldemort, And Asking Petunia To Take-Care Of Harry. Petunia (Who In This Timeline She Never Hated Her) Gladly Accepts, Over The Next 10 Years Petunia Raises Harry Telling Him All About The Magical World Much To Dumbledore Dismay. The Rest Of The Story Would Go From Here On Out The Story Stays The Same To The Books All the Way To The Battle Of Hogwarts.
Honestly you have to understand the Dursleys, theyre not being treated the best either, people randomly come to their house without their consent, theyre in danger because an unknown dark lord is after Harry, and shit like that. Anyone would be mad if it was happening against their will and magic people were treating them like that.
I think the subplot with the Dursleys works so well, especially in regards to Dudley towards the end, because it symbolizes Harry's childhood. Sure, it was horrible one, but at the end when he left the house where he grew up it was the final death of his childhood. He comes to terms with it and accepts it, just like how he and Dudley at the end managed to appreciate the time they had together. I really wish Rowling used that idea of one of Dudley's children being a wizard.
"I'll be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending I don't exist"
One of the best and most underrated lines of the series.

Harry got the worst of it in both ways. Petunia resented Harry because of his mother, Snape resented Harry because of his father!

Thats exactly how my family acts. I don't understand it.
I don't understand why Vernon doesn't want Harry to go back to school? I mean you don't have to see him for a year?
He didn't want him to be happy
Sure, but having a wizard in the house, being afraid of wizards surely won’t be what Vernon wants either.
He doesn't like Harry but doesn't want him to be happy. Besides he doesn't want Voldemort to kill him I'm not sure why.
Jennifer Moy right just send him away to hogworts and u wont have to see him

Aparna Rathore they may not have been “bad” but they were certainly asses

Yup
What about Dudley? He may have been bad, but he developed into a great character at the end.
ladynoir forlife yes but treating her sister like shit was what made her a very unpleasant woman.
I could forgive dudley for being spoiled by his parents so he didnt learn not to be mean

Right? Dudley would’ve actually been a good kid

Of course. James and Lily were good people.

Props to Harry for not turning into a bad person. With all the mistreatment and abuse, most people who experience those situations ends up being screwed.
Mostly from suffering the lack of a food father and mother figure if all they know is bad parents.
actually not all moments were so bad, harry and big d sometimes used to play along and have little bit normal life.
same with dudley, im surprised he ended up thinking for himself towards the end. saying he didn’t understand why harry wasn’t coming and actually going up to harry saying that he didn’t think he was a waste of space. most of the time, becoming a bad person is learned behavior, you learn that from trauma and from the people you’re around and dudley grew up around some vile parents.
A lot, but not most.
He recognized how the durlseys hurt him and he realized he didn't want to make anybody else feel that way, because he never truly wanted to hurt anybody. Which is what made him a significantly better person than the dursleys, specifically Vernon and petunia.
Who else cried when Dudley said that Harry wasn't a waste of space and showed gratitude? It just shows how much Dudley changed, and actually cared.
he was raised to treat harry like shit and eventually broke those bonds it was a great character development
Me... I was so happy I cried
i cried when Petunia gave Harry the blanket in her will, that was way more touching for me.
That was a beautiful moment.

I honestly feel bad for Petunia, although I still hate her for venting her anger to harry.
But just imagine if your sibling has magic and you are just a muggle....
8f My sister had magic I didn’t it’d be
Like petunia cuz she hates Harry pottah
@Teia Purkiss ik
I don't feel sorry for her. Her being a muggle is no excuse for her being envious of her sister to the point she hurts Lily emotionally. Like yeah she also wanted to be part of hogwarts, but she didn't and it's still okay. The only thing I can feel sorry about is how they favoured lily over her, but that's it.
I would be jealous
@Teia Purkiss she said if no is
If one of Dudley's grandkids have magic it would probably make a hell of a spinoff
why not his child
In head canons (story’s after the series finish that go deep into the characters life) that Dudley had a daughter who was a witch
@@Emma-rr3kp where?!!!!
I saw headcanon videos I don’t really remember but it just said how Harry and Dudley made up then years later his daughter got her letter and was in huffelpuff
I honestly hope he does have a wizard or witch as his son or daughter.
To be honest the last 5 to 10 minutes I started to cry because Petunia really cared about Lilly and still felt guilty in how she treated her son. It was quite emotional for me.
same!!!!!! I was just scrolling through the comments to see if anyone else did that so thank god im not the only one

Petunia was literally only 22/23 when her parents and sister died. Then when she's finally getting her life on track, her sister's (who she didn't get along with) son gets stuck with her. Her abuse of Harry is unacceptable but it puts into perspective how young and immature she was

I actually kinda like how Dudley was throughout this. He started off being an absolute piece of crap to Harry. Beat him up, took his stuff, made fun of him. But eventually he ended up maturing more after a while. he ended up trying to be nicer towards the end, even if he didnt want to admit it openly to Harry, and basically thanked him for his help with the dementors. him asking why Harry wasnt coming with them almost comes off as being concerned about it, since he knew that they were leaving to be protected and he didnt understand why harry wouldnt be coming with them for that. and even though he and Harry didnt talk much or meet up very often IRL, he still ended up being hospitable to him and sending him cards on christmas, even letting his own kids play with Harry's, assumably becoming more open to his magic and the wizarding world. It may have been mostly unseen but he still grew as a person. The Dudley from book one would never have even said "see ya harry"
Are you drunk 😂
I would like to see a film of the new generation at Hogwarts - Dudley could have met a friend of Harry's and had a magical child with her, maybe it would make Petunia change and possibly reconcile with Harry.
Dumbledore: You did not do as I ask. You have never treated Harry as a son. He has known nothing but neglect and often cruelty at your hands.
Vernon: You didn't send child support.
Dumbledore:
😂😂 GOLD.
This man is the smartest man in da world

Dumbledore: The hell is child support?!?!

Thats just an excuse. And Dumbledore isn't exactly responsible. He is only responsible for Harry when he is at school.
The Weasley’s were more of a family to Harry than the Dursley’s ever were.

@@janedoe5881 some ppl fell in love to a wrong person... :(
She didn't love her enough...or else she would not have let her jealousy stop her from truly caring about the boy.
Yeah I know.
I understand Petunia’s sadness and pain of being overshadowed and extremely jealous, but she has to understand that Harry, her nephew, is after all innocent. She is empathised by Potterheads, but she and Vernon should not be forgiven by passing on the anguish as an adult to a new generation. Also, Lily didn’t ask for her special quality of being a witch. It’s just genetically in her blood.
Although people empathised with Petunia for her pain and jealousy doesn't mean that people forgive her abusive actions towards Harry. After all, Harry is the only one that can forgive his aunt and uncle. She cut off her relationship with Lily because she wanted to move on from her sorrow and connection to the world that she once admired, and build a new life away from that. but with the arrival of Harry into her new world that she had built away from the wizarding world, making her efforts shattered and wasted. She has options in her hand when she received harry, either to treat him well or abuse him. it is only a matter of her decision, and she chooses to abuse him. it's a beautiful representation of how a human being is, we know what's good and what's bad, yet the heart decided it.
@@dofinoah yeah that’s so very true
@@dofinoah Petunia should've been a descent human being instead of taking her anger, jealousy, frustrations, and resent fulness of her sister into her nephew, I understand her pain but her actions cam never be justified or excused in any way, Harry doesn't deserve to be treated like that.

Vernon is embarrassed about everything that happened for the last 17 years and is awkward around Harry now and knows that he is a bad influence because of the Dumbledore visit.
Petunia is undoubtably the most affected as she has lost her parents and sister to Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Petunia is PTSD about her sister dying and tells Harry the Harry didn’t just lose a mother, Petunia lost her sister.
Harry should have hugged his aunt and tells her that he understand why Petunia became the way who she is and how broken she is and that they are both similar in some very good ways.

Twice Lily stood up for someone she cared deeply about, trying to make things better for them, and they both threw it directly back in her face: Petunia and Snape. Lily saw how disappointed Petunia was about being rejected from Dumbledore and said she'd change his mind. Petunia called her a freak. Lily defended Snape when he was being mercilessly bullied, and then he called her a mudblood.

I can't blame Petunia and Dudley, because:
1. Petunia was just jealous of her sister, and she wanted to be magic as well, but she didn't. She saved blanked, and she said: *You didn't just lost mother that night, I lost a sister.*
2. Dadley give Harry a cup of tea, like thankfull gift for saving his life.

If you remove James bullying Severus, James was supportive of his friends. He cared about Remus Lupin even after the truth of him being a werewolf came out. Dudley would have never done something like this.
There’s a scene when petunia said to Harry “you didn’t just lose a mother, I lost a sister” but sadly they cut this scene.

I feel bad for Petunia imagine being so close to a magical world yet so far.
Yea but she did not need to be mean about it to Harry potter she treated Harry like a stray dog.
She would have never treated Harry like that if she had been accepted to hog warts and had magic therefore she would have not started hating her sister and so if she would have loved her sister as much as she used to, she would not treat her sister's son like a slave

@B P k
@ B P I completely agree I think if we’d have had more of a redemption for petunia she might’ve been kinder
I feel bad for her in the sense where her issues with Lily came from. It was all jealousy and being bitter, as horrible as the qualities are it's understandable. Constantly being in the shadow of your sister who was your parent's favourite, your sister who was treated like golden child and getting invited to Hogwarts while you're just sidelined and have to watch all that happen. It doesn't excuse her treatment of Harry but it's understandable how Petunia became so bitter.
@B PI agree. The good thing about J. K Rowling's characters is that you can't point at one and clearly say good or bad. All of them have a deep personality.
Besides Dolores Umbridge.
She is bad.

Tbh it didn't help his family's case when he became a prefect and everyone acted like he grew a second head, especially when they all believed Harry when they thought he was one. That had had to have hurt.
Hermione, Weasleys, Sirius, Remus and Tonks were his family.
Petunia's story was unexpectededly touching. The older sister, envious of her younger sister's inate powers, forcing herself to live a life of absolute normality in order to set herself apart from her "freak" sister, burying her love, mourning and loss deep inside her and never being able to accept her nephew, as it would force her to admit that she truly missed her witch sister and once longed to be part of that world.
None of the Dursley's were evil. Dudley was ultimately the victim of being spoiled from the day he was born. Petunia couldn't accept Harry, as he reminded her of her dead younger sister and her guilt. And Vernon, while being a generally not very likable person, did truly love his family.

Agreed
I must agree an unpresidented amount
yes.
IoI
To Petunia, he was.
I love the scene where Dudley's wearing his new school uniform with such pride. I know he's a antagonist but that part always made me laugh.
I mean vernon is arguably the worst Dursley. Because at least Dudley redeemed himself and Petunia's attitude was at least understandable (not necessarily justifiable) towards Harry and feels a bit of a connection towards the end, but Vernon didn’t even do anything.
Yeah
I feel like Marge is worse
And you actually understand Petunia’s feelings. She was jealous of her sister, resentful towards her for being left behind, and then ashamed of cutting her out, and then when she died and Petunia couldn’t right her wrongs she had to either admit she was a bad person or continue digging in her heels. Vernon was just prejudice and probably had the same limited world views about everything.
I like the fan theory that the horcrux inside Harry was negatively affecting the Dursleys making them far worse people than they would have been otherwise much like how the evil in the One Ring had a negative effect on Frodo during the LOTR.

I think is because Dudley was a muggle and Harry could use that as leverage to threaten him. Draco was also a wizard so it wasn’t as easy
@@reddeath5791 plus Dudley was raised to treat Harry badly due to his magic but backed off whenever Harry pulled out the wand, Draco treated Harry badly purely because he refused Draco's offer of friendship, was petty as hell about it and constantly antagonized him.

@@jacksixterror spot on. Draco was also more cunning. He told rita skeeter stuff about harry so she could tell sell it in newspapers plus getting Buckbeack an execution sentence
@RedDeath5 Dracos family is also notorious and has connections in the Wizarding world. Which Harry barely knows exist. Draco also has a squad of goons even more physically intimidating.
Dudley wont kill anyone though, Malfoy would. He even tried to use Unforgivable Curse on Harry one time. And he seems SO HAPPY the huge snake came out and basically threaten the lives of the muggle borns wizards.

The thing is, you really can understand Petunia's pain. The rage built up of her parents acknowledging how gifted Lily was making her so jealous. She must have never felt like was good enough, at least until she met Vernon. It hurts even more knowing that Lily only wanted what was best for her sister.
I always felt bad for her it must suck knowing that your sister is special but you don’t have the same powers as her and it didn’t seem like her parents even tried to comfort her I would’ve been the same if that happened to me

Imagine how crushing it would be to witness all of the cool sh*! your sibling could do, find out that there's a school that teaches magic, wanting to go there so badly that you literarly write a message to the school's headmaster, only to be told that you're not special enough to go, but your sibling is.
That really had to hurt.
All because Petunia couldn't perform magic and her younger sister Lily could.
Everybody is different. Some have talents others don’t. Life isn’t Fair. Accepting that is part of being an adult.
"Harry then pulled out his WAND, frightening Dudley" lol I can't even 😂😂

I have watched all of the ‘life of Harry Potter characters’ and his voice makes me feel so much better inside. Idk these videos just make my day so much better. He needs to start making podcasts so I can start listening to these at school.
Very well structured and made, our opinions dont always align but your content is always very factual and well researched, awesome stuff, and you cover a lotta my favorite franchises
Dudley: Can You Pass The Bacon?
Harry: You Forgot The Magic Word
Me: ACCIO BACON!
Edit: What will happen next? Find out on the next episode of My Hero Academia!
Spoiler: i got expelled from hogwarts for performing magic in front of a muggle
Harry: How did you know?
suicune boy 15 *cuz i also a wizard >:3*
I love this comment. Thank you very much
Yes correct! 😂😂😂😂
Da mihi baconus
The fact that Harry looked like his dad really caused a lot of problems for him. From Snape to Vernon Dursley, so many ppl despised Harry because he reminded them of James who, lets face it, wasnt always the best.
James was kinda a dick
Smh poor harry
Sammy Sweet I rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrr rrrrrrrrrr l lapwE
James "Chad" Potter vs Severus "The Virgin" Snape
poor harry, he had to pay for his fathers shitty actions :((
One like less abuse of Dudley throwing his tortoise out the window
That poor tortoise
#tortoiseslivesmatter
I worried so much about that tortoise
Poor little guy
SSAVE THE TURTLES SKSKSKSKSK
I don't want to redeem the Dursleys in any way nor do I want them to be forgiven because after all they absused an innocent child but I can definitely understand their fear and annoyance with magic. Imagine you just want to live your life and then wizzards blow up your whole living room or in invite you to win a prize that doesn't even exist. Apart from that it was also a wizzard that killed Lily and tried to kill Harry. I would be scared and annoyed too at some point. I also cried at the end of the video when the story with the blanket got told... And also that Dudley and Harry stayed in contact. I actually think that at least Petunia and Dudley are hinted at to be pretty complex characters and I would have loved If that potential would have been used a little bit more.
I've never clicked on a video so fast. Out of all the channels that talk about Harry Potter lore, yours is by far the best.
Same
Harry Potter Folklore is pretty good too:)

Petunia is a Giraffe-person.
Madhura K that’s how it’s written in the book lol
Ali-a intro plays
if petunia had magic, harry would have had a *much* better life.
Yeah 🤣
Yes because i heavily doubt that Vermon would marry Petúnia if she was witch
If I was Harry I’d just Slap everyone and run away
No she would probably be dead
@@trayivk I Completely Disagree With That Statement!
I Think That If Petunia Was A Witch Like Her Sister, Then She And Her Sister Lily Would Attend Hogwarts Together. By 1980 Petunia Would Off Fled To Canada For Her Safety. The Story Would Go Similar To How It Was In Canon With Lily Sacrificing Herself To Save Harry Resulting In Voldemort Apparent Death, After Voldemort's Disappearance The Ministry Of Magic Started Rounding Up The Remaining Death Eaters. Dumbledore Sends Petunia Harry And A Letter Telling Petunia Of Her Sister's Death And The Hands Of Lord Voldemort, And Asking Petunia To Take-Care Of Harry. Petunia (Who In This Timeline She Never Hated Her) Gladly Accepts, Over The Next 10 Years Petunia Raises Harry Telling Him All About The Magical World Much To Dumbledore Dismay. The Rest Of The Story Would Go From Here On Out The Story Stays The Same To The Books All the Way To The Battle Of Hogwarts.
Honestly you have to understand the Dursleys, theyre not being treated the best either, people randomly come to their house without their consent, theyre in danger because an unknown dark lord is after Harry, and shit like that. Anyone would be mad if it was happening against their will and magic people were treating them like that.
A moment of silence for that poor tortoise
😔
... Alright good call...
i see you're a stay
@@julianaluisamatitu8416 why yes I am 🤡
I kept thinking about it 😔
PETA: *demonic angry noises*
I think the subplot with the Dursleys works so well, especially in regards to Dudley towards the end, because it symbolizes Harry's childhood. Sure, it was horrible one, but at the end when he left the house where he grew up it was the final death of his childhood. He comes to terms with it and accepts it, just like how he and Dudley at the end managed to appreciate the time they had together.
I really wish Rowling used that idea of one of Dudley's children being a wizard.
I thought the dursley’s were horrible
Until.........

Thanks to Umbridge, Dudley stopped treating Harry like dirt.
YEAP
He is a life saver
Dracos a tool, kids break into the ministry,Sirius black is dead as can be
You did nottttt tell lies
I'm really glad that Mrs Weasley accepted Harry into a true loving family. Otherwise things may have been even worse than they already was
