      Films-wise, WB should stick with PG-13 as there is still such a massive younger audience for the show that keeps growing, and it would certainly limit the younger teens and kids who adore the franchise and everything to do with it from reaching new content. Like a darker series with a tv-ma rating sounds incredible for us who have grown up with the Wizarding World, but I don't really see WB doing a tv-ma if they want to play it safe. I hope that when they do the reboot show, which we know they're going to do, they make most of the episodes after Prisoner of Azkaban's season will be tv-14 or tv-ma.
      Side note: some cool series that WB could make in my opinion are
      1. The First Wizarding War (TV-14 & TV-MA)
      2. The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore (TV-14) _dumbledore's autobiography_
      3. After The Second Wizarding War (TV-14)

    21:30 missed opportunity to mention that the other reason Voldemort probably targetted Harry was that Neville was a pure-blood (which in itself might have been another reason he didn't go after the Longbottoms) while Harry was a half-blood. With Voldemort seeing himself as the most powerful wizard to ever live who also happened to be a half-blood, he would probably recognize the threat in Harry significantly more than in Neville.

    Worth noting that Barry Crouch Jr might not have actually been involved in the torture of the Longbottoms! It’s left ambiguous in the books, which leaves open the possibility that he was innocent, but then became hardened in Azkaban after his father wouldn’t listen to him. Meaning Crouch Sr and the mob justice mentality of that trial were partially responsible for Voldemort ultimately coming back to power. Lots of cool thematic implications there!

I assume that because she specifically went after the Longbottoms after his defeat and was absolutely calm at her trial & confident of Voldemort’s return.

      No. In his original form Voldemort would have obviously looked like a normal old man (he would have been in his 50's by the time he killed the Potters). He only looked like a "grown up Gollum" in his second form because of the way he was resurrected through his horcruxes. That's also the main reason his second form was so much weaker than he was originally.

    I kind of disagree about the First Wizarding War being worse because it lasted longer, sure it lasted longer, but at least Voldemort was fighting AGAINST the establishment and the government.
    In the Second Wizarding War, Voldemort literally BECAME the establishment, he WAS the government for nearly a whole year.
    The first war, Voldemort didn't literally have control of Britain like he did during the second war, I think the totality of Voldemorts reign probably did more overall damage to the country as a whole than his slow burn uprising from the First war.

    I share this with you first because you're my favorite Harry Potter creator. Is it possible that Dumbledore foresaw the rise of Voldemort. Whether when he visits Voldemorts orphanage or when he created his first few horcrux's, Dumbledore decides to infuse faux with a charm that makes his shared wand core phoenix feather that makes it shape priore incantatum that saves harry from Voldemort not just in the goblet of fire but also during the first part of the deathly hallows. It also explains why Dumbledore is there when harry dies to separate himself from being Voldemort's final horcrux.

    ! Here’s a little story from Bloom’s point of view:
    ---
    As I stepped off the Hogwarts Express, I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nerves. Alfea was magical, but there was something so ancient and mysterious about Hogwarts. I clutched my suitcase tightly and tried to calm the butterflies in my stomach.
    “Bloom, over here!” A voice called out, and I turned to see a bushy-haired girl waving enthusiastically.
    “Hi, Hermione!” I smiled, glad to see a familiar face. We had exchanged letters before my arrival, and I was excited to finally meet her in person.
    Hermione introduced me to her friends as we walked to the Great Hall. “This is Harry, Ron, and Ginny,” she said, pointing them out one by one.
    Harry smiled warmly. “Welcome to Hogwarts, Bloom. Hermione’s told us all about you and Alfea.”
    I blushed a little, feeling a rush of warmth. “Thanks, Harry. It’s great to be here. Hogwarts is even more incredible than I imagined.”
    As we sat down for the feast, Ron leaned over, whispering, “So, you’re a fairy, right? Can you do, like, fairy stuff here?”
    I laughed, nodding. “Yeah, I can still use my magic. Wanna see a little demonstration?”
    Before Ron could respond, Hermione interjected, “Maybe later, Bloom. We don’t want to attract too much attention on your first night.”
    I winked at Ron. “I’ll show you something cool later.”
    After dinner, we headed to the Gryffindor common room. The cozy space, with its crackling fire and plush armchairs, felt welcoming. I was chatting with Ginny about Quidditch when Harry approached, holding a small, wrapped box.
    “Bloom, I wanted to give you this,” he said, handing it over. “A little welcome gift.”
    I unwrapped it to find a beautiful, enchanted bracelet. It shimmered with a soft, magical glow. “Harry, it’s lovely. Thank you!”
    He smiled, looking a bit shy. “I thought it might remind you of home.”
    That night, as I lay in bed, I couldn’t help but think about how different but wonderful Hogwarts was. The next few days were filled with new classes, magical creatures, and lots of laughter.
    One afternoon, I found myself alone in the library with Harry. We were studying for Potions, but I couldn’t concentrate. Harry was telling me about his adventures, and I was mesmerized by his stories.
    “You’ve been through so much,” I said softly. “You’re really brave, Harry.”
    He shrugged modestly. “I’ve had a lot of help. And now, I have another friend here to help too.”
    I felt a warm flush rise to my cheeks. “I’m glad I’m here. I’ve never felt so...at home.”
    Harry looked into my eyes, his gaze intense and kind. “I’m glad you’re here too, Bloom.”
    In that moment, the magic of Hogwarts felt even more enchanting. I knew this was the start of something special, filled with friendship, magic, and maybe even a bit of romance.

    I don't think that Severus was Voldemort's favourite, close companion or anything in the 1st War, not yet, indeed he was reasonably high in ranks, Voldemort listened to his advise after all - regarding to the prophecy - but, never gave him a Horcrux for instance. I think Snape was still on probation at the time. Voldemort likely recognised his talent, lectured him in his free time or as a reward for successful missions, but did he really trust him??

      Their goals were different and Grindlewald could have been a threat to Voldemort's own power. While Voldemort _pretended_ to be about pure blood supremacy, he was really mostly interested in furthering his own power and immortality. Pure blood supremacy was simply an ideal he agreed with that he was able to use to further his own goals.
      Grindlewald truly did believe in Wizard superiority over Muggles; he was *far* less extreme than Voldemort. While Voldemort saw value in only the lives of "pure bloods" (himself being the exception because he'd "purified" his own blood when he murdered his father and like most racists, he's a hypocrite). Grindelwald saw both wizards and muggles as worthy of life and likely didn't care if a wizard's parents were muggle, wizard, or mix. He saw muggles not as undeserving of life, but of deserving of the "benefit" wizard rule, thinking that all lives would be better if wizards were in charge.

Lots of dictators don’t really, they just exploit the ideas and sensibilities of others to gain power, or they have a more practical incentive to commit mass slavery/genocide of a specific group of people rather than simply eugenics. Using people from the groups you’re targeting who has influence or similar view to you is a very important strategy. Voldemort wasn’t stupid, he knew a talented witch when he saw one, and I think he could have made an exception in Lily’s case whether it was to soften up Snape or not.

    There's a million stones just chillin on mount everest he could have made into a horcrux. Just leave it at a totally random ass place in some tiny crevas in the mountain somewhere.

He wasn't willing to take any chances at all when it came to his overall goals. Hence, his massive overreaction to the news of Harry's birth. Honestly, Voldemort wasn't defeated by Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix during the first Wizarding War, he was defeated by his own Paranoia.
      If he had simply ignored Snape and continued his campaign, he would have easily won the war; even Dumbledore couldn't have stopped him. (despite the books' frantic insistence to the contrary.) If Voldemort doesn't kill Lily Potter, Snape never turns on him; he remains a loyal death eater to the end of his days. Also, Peter Pettigrew's cover is never blown, so Voldemort could have used him to spy on the Order of the Phoenix from the inside, giving him an overwhelming tactical advantage in the war.

Ya know, Dumbledores plans worked out in the end, but I can't help to wonder how much he could have done if he just took the Minister of Magic job instead of being a stubborn non-voter type just giving up on the ministry as a failed institution.
