It’s never mentioned in the series, but I like to think that Hagrid was technically able to continue studying magic after CoS but chose not to because he was happy with where he was
Now there's a question. What happens to those who've been expelled and had their wands snapped, but are later cleared? You can't exactly replace that... Do they just have to buy a new one? And what if someone who had theirs brokens TRIES to buy a new one? Does someone alert Ollivander that so-and-so isn't allowed a new wand? (As a writer I have a vested interest in the answer to these questions)
This has always made me wonder, if the trace is removed at 17, whos to stop Hagrid from obtaining a new wand? What about homeschooled students? Do you have to pass the OWLs to be able to get your trace removed at 17? The books state the its illegal/impossible to track wizards after 17. What happens if you don't pass your OWLs? Do you get chucked out? So what constitutes a student being able to become magically "certified"? So many questions surrounding this "rule". What if you're parents are ex-pats and live somewhere far from magical institutions? Do you still have a trace on you if you grew up in Brazil? I doubt Olivander (and all the other wand makers in the world) have some central database in which they can track who can and cannot legally obtain a wand.
Changing the student's attire to muggle clothing definetly was not a good idea. Having it show characterization does make sense, but each character's uniqueness was shown while they were wearing robes in earlier movies. For example, in the Sorcerer's Stone, Ron's tie is tied horribly, Harry's is crooked, and Hermione's is perfect. Their scarfs mirror this. Ron's scarf is just thrown around his shoulder's, Harry's is tied basically, and Hermione's is tied in a fasionable, funcional manner. This easily represents that Ron is a little careless, and liekly won't care about his appearence. Harry does care, but not enough to take extra time to do something especially well. Plus, how could he perfectly tie a tie after living with the Durselys for so long? Then, Hermione, of course, looks perfect because she's Hermione. I realize that I just wrote two paragraphs about two sentences in the video that weren't even on topic, but I'm a Ravenclaw, so I can't just not do it.
I think perhaps they realized it would be too expensive to keep making the robes/uniforms for all of the child actors (they were getting older and taller with each movie after all) and thats why they switched to muggle clothes. Less of a problem for the adults.
@@Boundwithflame23 this was one of the highest grossing movie franchises in history and it was a huge success starting from the first movie. I doubt it that they did this because of financial reason.
@@zoltan139 yeah good point. Hmm Another thought is that it was very time consuming. You have hundreds of kids you have to have fitted for new robes when they have sudden growth spurts during filming.
Honestly about milking Nagini. In Swedish we also apparently call it milking. I did not know that it was called milking so I always assumed Nagini was magical in such a way (or was made such by magic) that allowed them to literally milk her a reptile. So when we found out that Nagini was a human once... I wasn't really surprised. I actually still, to this day, believe that Nagini is giving milk as in mother's milk to Voldemort.
I'm just saying, wouldn't it have been awesome if the snake that Harry talks to in the second book have survived, become Harry's second pet, and faced off Nagini In the goblet of fire.
Sirius laughed because he believed that Peter blew up the street, 12 muggles, and HIMSELF. It was a hysterical reaction to the irony of Peter essentially killing his best friends to save his own life, and then accidentally committing suicide a few hours later. Sirius wouldn't have sat quietly in Azkaban for 12 years if he didn't think Peter was dead. He recognizes the rat as Peter in the photo in the Daily Prophet, and then connects the dots as to what happened when he sees the rat is missing the toe Peter cut off as evidence of his "death".
While reading the book for the first time I was like 99% sure that they will explain that it had something to do with the Tickeling Charm since they mention it so much throught the book and learn it in the same year... but then it never happened :O
I'm sorry, but that's not true, I've looked it up. Sirius says in Prisoner of Azkaban: "I had to do something. I was the only one who knew Peter was still alive." He knew Peter was alive from the beginning, but when he saw the picture in the Prophet he realised Peter was in the perfect position to harm Harry if Voldemort regained power, that's why he decided to act. It's all in the chapter "The Servant of Lord Voldemort"
@@dunyacaliskan7495 Sirius never believed Peter actually died, he knew what had really happened straight away. So he did sit in Azkaban for 12 years knowing Peter wasn't dead
8:49 that's kinda right that Ron listened to the radio for info about the outside world, but what he very specifically wanted was to see if any of his friends or family were on the list of people who died that day
@@libbyann78 Yes and the radio show in the book was exceptionally hard to tune into. Basically, someone who trusted you had to tell you of the show and its password. Then you could not miss a single show (which might skip several nights) to get the next password.
One of my favorite things I read somewhere about Ginny is the only reason book Ginny would have done the awkward shoe tying scene would have been to tie his laces together so he'd trip.... lol
@@Mixitup1108 They met at the Hogwarts express, September 1, at 11 years old. James and Lily died at the age of 21, in October. So they knew each other for a little more than 10 years. Sirius spent 12 years (not 13) in Azkaban. So yeah, the math.
Yes, i think he even said it himself in the books. When he is angry he says something like I listen if there names come up on the radio so I know they are not dead.
Hagrid likes Harry because he’s quite literally one of the only students who is consistently nice to him. No one else goes to have tea with hagrid except ginny like once, and Harry/Ron are the only two who actually like hagrid as a teacher and think he’s good
"Why does Hermione like Ron" because Ron is always the one who stands up for her when she's being ridiculed and humiliated by people. Harry is a good friend for her but he usually is silent when people mocked Hermione. The movie doesn't portray it well, though.
@@proudindian2945 Well, I don't think so¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Romione makes perfect sense to me since Goblet of Fire. Harmione doesn't make more sense to me. But to each their own.
"The movie doesn't portray it well." When Snape calls Hermione a know-it-all, the movie completely changes Ron's reaction from yelling "Why ask a question if you don't want to know the answer?" at Snape to saying "He's got a point, you know." Absolute butchery.
Ron listens to the radio so that he knows if any of his family die. He doesn't want to hear their names but at the same time if their names are to be said, he has to know.
I read a cool theory: Peter used a cheering charm to make Sirius laugh hysterically. During third year Flitwick is teaching them cheering charms and says if performed incorrectly can cause uncontrollable laughter. Usually what the golden trio learn correlates to other plots in the books. I think Peter performed it incorrectly on purpose to force Sirius’s laughter. That and with the fact Peter bested him, is why he laughs.
This is absolutely fascinating. And you're right that those minor school moments do tend to be foreshadowing for something or other. Like when we learn during one of Harry's exams that failing to perform a silencing charm causes a frog to swell up. And what did Harry say before accidentally blowing up Aunt Marge? "Shut UP!" He subconsciously went to silence her with magic, but botched it.
@@balil7677 It might be as simple as having that specific effect in mind when you cast it, but there are other possibilities as well. Maybe he wanted the real cheering charm for some reason (to make Sirius calm down and listen, or to seem happy about Peter's death to the onlookers), but messed up due to panic. Or maybe when he was learning the spell in school he could never get it right, and so he knew he had a "spell" ready to cause intense laughter, by knowingly (but not intentionally) casting it wrong. He would attempt to cast it correctly, knowing that he'd fail it anyway and get that alternate effect. ...Could have sworn there was another example of someone casting wrong on purpose in Harry Potter, but since I can't think of it I'll instead compare it to an early Katara from Avatar screwing up an ice spell by sending it backwards instead of forwards, and then just turning around and doing exactly the same motion again to hit her target.
@@balil7677I don’t think it’s hard to do something incorrectly on purpose, like you can purposefully press the wrong button to make something bad happen. I suppose it’s just a matter of knowing what you did to perform it incorrectly and then purposefully repeating said “mishap” to get a desired effect?
My theory about why Harry has to compete in the Triwizard Tournament is that he doesn't - Crouch is under the Imperius Curse in this moment and (in the book) Dumbledore defers to Crouch because he trusts him. Thus, Crouch is forced to lie and the lie goes unchallenged.
Trelawny actually teaches the students to identify and meet unfair expectations using creative thinking. And since "the sight" is a rare gift, she KNOWS that her students have to make up their answers. Harry and Ron get the best grades when they play into the "ever more dramatic ways to die" example she sets in class.
hey bro i’m really interested in maybe a deeper dive into what you’re saying? if you have time of course, i just would like some more detail to better understand trelawnys methods. thank you!
@@AaronBlake-in3wk In the books, Hermione is VERY rude to Trelawny, who does eventually lose her temper, but she puts up with Hermione's attitude pretty well for months. In the books, you're supposed to be on Hermione's side, not Trelawny's; you're supposed to think Trelawny is an idiot, but when it's proved that she's not, you start wondering what she's actually been up to with that class.
I think Hermione is kind of right in that Trelawny is totally fake. She teaches a subject that basically cannot be taught and she knows it. Also, she comes from a line of people with sight, but it's kind of weak in her so she only had 2 true prophecies in her entire life and even that was totally out of her control and she didn't remember afterwards. So I would think she's having a perpetual case of imposter syndrome as well, since she doesn't really know that she actually had those true prophecies, one was the most important prophecy of their lifetime. Nevertheless that doesn't make divination as a form of magic in itself fake, as we can see with the centaurs, there are forms of it that rely less on innate talent and are more objective, but those also give more vague prophecies usually.
@@UmbraKrameriwe also see what a *truly skilled Seer* can do in the form of Grindawald in the Fantastic Beasts films, clearly Divination is real form of magic that can be put to use skilfully, it’s just that only a select few have the ability to use it at all. If you ask me, I don’t think anyone who isn’t a Seer (i.e. they have “the sight”) can do any form of Divination, so no matter how many times Lavander and Parvati stare at brown gunk in their teacups, they’re never gonna be able to see the future. If *I* was running Hogwarts I’d make Divination some kind of extracurricular activity for people who have been identified as Seers (somehow)
Yeah, he basically just ruined a whole year of DADA for every single student in the school, just to teach Harry a lesson. It's an insane decision when you think about it and not fair to other students, especially to students from 5-7 year who have to learn more and more complex magic but they don't have a competent teacher to teach them.
Why does Harry says "It's alright Ginny. It's over. It's just a memory"? When it's clearly not over for Ginny, she still has the memories of being possessed by Voldemort, killed some chickens, almost killed students and her love of her life almost dies. Sure Harry, everything is alright.
@@RedDoom33 I think he was just referring to the fact that young Voldemort (a memory stored in diary) has now 'died' and that they don't have to worry about fighting him (in that form) anymore
Hermione has never thought very highly of Fleur, especially in Goblet of Fire. I think Emma Watson knew how Hermione felt about Fleur, and her saying “ze grindylows” like that was Hermione mocking Fleur for her ineptitude at the 2nd Task. I don’t know if she was directed to read the line like that, or if it was her own interpretation and choice to read it that way.
I'm not sure, but I think someone made a video that shows Emma is saying something else in the movie (they showed close-ups of her lips), and that it is her voice-over saying that line, so it must have been the director not liking it the way it originally was, and making her do it over. Even after shooting was over already. Or maybe she had been told to say it that way and she forgot, and they only found out afterwards.
I always just imagined Fleur coming up to the surface early shouting/complaining about “ze grindelows” that ruined her performance in the trial and that hermione, not liking her anyway, would roll her eyes at this. Hence then mocks her later to Harry.
I thought Ron making it snow in the movie made sense, Harry would unintentionally cause magical things to happen when he was angry. Ron didn't do that when he was angry, but going through a breakup was a new thing for him to go through emotionally.
I think we learned that 'why Snape hates Harry' deserves many good answers in a video of it's own from all of this. Simple question, many interesting answers in the comments.
I think there are several reasons Shape hated Harry 1. He lived and Lily didn't 2. He looked like James 3. He was James' son and not Snakes And my personal opinion 4. He NEEDED Harry to hate HIM. let me explain As penance for what he did and for getting Lily killed, he needed to see the hatred he was sure Lily would feel for him and since Harry's eyes were just like hers he got his wish every time he saw Harry. I've always maintained that Snape was an extremely complicated man and the only one who completely understood him was himself
*"Snape was in love with James ... there's a thin line between love and hate."* Sooooo ... future video on this channel? I mean ... you've sold me on stranger things before!
I feel like Hermione liked Ron cause he was talented but also fun…he showed her that school work is not everything. I think Ron is such a good guy. He has his moments, but I can’t imagine being the sixth brother with everything to prove but also no recognition. What Hermione says about him living in Harry’s and the Weasley brothers’ shadows is true. And by and large he is such a humble, loyal friend. You see Harry getting all hurt when Ron is made prefect or when Ron gets attention for stuff, and Ron has to deal with that all the time. For the most part he deals with it really well, other than that time in Goblet of Fire…I guess I’m just rereading the series rn and finding a whole new appreciation of Ron
13:23 and 20:20 I believe it was also meant to be a subversion of expectations, as normally the lead guy, gets with the lead girl. For example people who haven't finished or read the books or watched the movies often presume Harry and Hermione would be a couple due to the trope.
Rowling said that she identifies most with Hermione and she liked funny boys in that age, so it’s more what made sense to her from personal perspective.
@@thethreerailwayengines825 I see Ron and Hermione more as siblings than Harry and Hermione. I think Ron would make more sense with Draco than with Hermione.
I’ve always loved the theory that a mothers love has saved Harry from death many a time. Obviously, Lily sacrifice is the first example. But also, after Harry saves Draco from the fiend fire, it could be possible that Narcissa was bound by a mother’s gratitude for saving her child. This, even more than just her disloyalty to Voldemort, is what pushes her to protect Harry.
The thing is, is that Narcissa doesn't know about what happened with the fiend fire. She doesn't even know if Draco is still alive, that's why she asks Harry if he is.
@@Keyboardje Voldemort didn’t know he created an extra horcrux in Harry. Lily didn’t know that her literal self-sacrifice would create blood protection. It’s magic! I like to think it was something like that
@@marielaluisa7273 I think she did lie on purpose. To her as a mother, her son was much more important than Voldemort. She wasn't a Death Eater. And even he was "cured" as soon as Voldemort began treating him bad for letting the prophecy break.
I think she thought that Harry had won, that he could not be killed and picked what she thought the winning side on the spot. Asking if Malfoy was alive was to know whether it was worthwhile to keep living. IMO
Lillys sacrifice, and Narcissas love for Draco but not cause shes gratefull he saved him cause she doesnt know that, but Draco is alive and alone and unprotected at the castle and the best way for her to get to him and protect her baby boy is to say Harry is dead. Hes also inadvertedly saved by Mrs Crouchs mothers love for Bart crouch jr letting him escape so he can go on to teach Harry how to cast of the impreious curse, one could also make an argument for Andromeda Thonk's mothers love providing a safe spot for her daughters rescue mission even tho neither Andromeda nor Ted being part of the order of the phoenix, Molly Weasleys mothers love having her kill Belatrix in response to almost killing Ginny which rattles Voldemort right before the final duel. More interesting to me tho is that Harry is also saved, in a way thats much more commonly overlooked, by a sisters love as Petunia takes him in and gives him a home with Lillys blood relatives extending the sacrificial protection which among other things saves his life in the first book.
"Why does Snape hate Harry?" I always thought it was because, in Snape's mind, Harry could have/should have been his kid. And to your point, the fact that Harry looks so much like James really hammers it home the fact that he's not Snape's.
Not to mention he has Lily’s eyes so every time Snape looks at Harry he’s reminded of Lily and James’ union. Reminded that the love of his life chose his tormentor over him.
I think it's a pretty big oversimplification to say: "Snape hated Harry because he reminded him of James, and James STOLE LILY FROM HIM". Most importantly, we should remember that James bullied Snape for years, long before James and Lily were a thing. He humiliated him in "Snape's Worst Memory" by exposing his underwear. Also, Harry was kind of a reason why Lily died. Of course, it wasn't Harry's fault by any means, but still. Both of those reasons are quite petty, but in my opinion, it's simply more complex than: "James stole a girl from him".
James’s bullying wasn’t as one-sided as most people say... Snape was also mean to James, James just usually won. And we see the memories from Snape’s perspective. He wasn’t that nice and sweet of a dude.
Yeah, Harry is the reason Lily is dead. She sacrificed herself to save him. Without Harry, Lily would still be alive. So when Snape sees Harry, he sees the cause of her death.
My head canon is that since the horcrux spell has long been hinted to involve cannibalism, the scar is from the beginning of the horcrux ritual and maybe also the opening Voldemort’s soul invaded through
My theory is that the scar has nothing to do with the Killing Curse, but instead something to do with a part of Voldemort's soul entering Harry's body. That would explain why Harry's scar of all things hurts when Voldemort is angry.
On the “Percy has more OWLs than Hermione and therefore he had to have a Time Turner” point - OWL rules are never discussed. But there’s nothing to suggest that you actually have to take the classes to take the OWLs. A wizard or witch could simply self-study and pass the tests for the additional OWLs beyond the number of classes actually taken. And wizards and witches like Hermione and Percy are studious, disciplined and hardworking enough to actually self-study.
I remember hearing a theory that Hermione Obliviated her parents long before _The Deathly Hallows,_ which is why she stops going home for the holidays. Maybe you could do a video on that?
Idk. There are explanations, at least for the Christmas holidays Goblet: Yule Ball Order: Mr Weasely is attacked and that emergency was probably more important in her mind Half-Blood: Slughorn’s party It’s been a hot minute since I read the books but I recall she goes on a trip with her parents at one point but decides to leave early.
@@Boundwithflame23 Hermione actually does go home for Christmas in Half Blood - at this point in the book she is not talking to Ron due to his relationship with Lavender, so she goes home to her parents and Harry, Ron and Ginny go to the Burrow 😊
All I can imagine now is Nagini with udders and wormtail sitting on a little stool and bucket milking her and then voldy in his mini me form is drinking it from a glass and gets a venomy milky moustache.
What if Harry decided to break the magical contract with the Goblet? Would it really kill him even though he was a Horcrux? Can the Goblet of Fire destroy Horcruxes?
i assume putting ur name into the Goblet of Fire is equivalent to making an Unbreakable Vow that u WILL compete in the Tournament. so i wonder if Harry breaking said vow would've resulted in Barty Crouch Jr's death instead of his own, since Harry wasn't the one to put his name into the Goblet to begin with.
I’d say He loves Ginny because she looks like Lily. Red head, talented witch, member of dumbledore’s army, and he has exposure to her through her being his best friend’s sister
I always thought that it was a little weird he ended up with Ginny who had a very noticeable crush on him when she was a 10 year old girl. I guess he found the fangirl thing flattering.
@@UmbraKrameri Except that he paid her no attention until she started to ignore him and pursue others. It was only after her "fan girl phase" that he started to view her romantically
I'd say the reason Tom hates muggles is because he views them as weak, which he despises. He thinks his mother's a muggle because she died so easily and when he found out it was actually his father he starts to resent them
I think them having power over him and his father being one (and he never starts to see his father as a victim but thinks he abandoned him like diary Riddle says) solified the hate. But being weak would have made him look down on them.
Also, every muggle he ever knew contributed to his absolutely wretched life or was overpowered by Riddle (a literal child during the time he formed this opinion). His childhood is like the demented, psychopathic version of Annie.
Super awesome video! Hermione loves Ron because she’s gotten to know him so well. He bears being in the shadow of his older brothers and his best friend better than most people would. He almost never resents Harry for taking the spotlight. Almost, Ron’s not perfect. He is incredibly loyal and willing to risk his life for his friends even when he was 11. Also, he makes her laugh! PS Literally no romantic chemistry between Hermione and Harry in the books ever! Harry loves Jinny because… She’s like totally a boss! He got to know her in an unromantic setting and watched her grow from a shy little girl into a flaming force of nature! She is spirited, brave, amazing at Quidditch, and not afraid to get into trouble. PS Literally no romantic chemistry between Harry and Hermione in the books EVER! No idea why serious black laughs after he believes he kills Peter Pettigrew. But he does believe that he has killed Peter Pettigrew. Snape‘s Petronas is a dough because Lily’s Petronas was a dough. In the movies, Cho Chang is forced to reveal Dumbledore‘s army through the use of a truth serum. Not her choice. Harry has a lightning scar on his forehead because his mothers love protection saved him. The scar is a mark of her love because we all know that lightning is a metaphor for love! Also also! Literally NO romantic chemistry between Harry and Hermione in the books EVER! They’re just too good of friends and harry admits to being bored hanging around her just her too much.
For the one about Ron listening to the radio, it's actually because he wanted to listen to make sure hos family's weren't a part of those names listed as dead.
Luna's earrings aren't actually radishes, but a fruit / vegetable that, according to the book "look like small, orange radishes" and enhance intelligence, or are at least rumored to. It's explained in deadly hallows when they visit Xenophilius, he is trying to recreate Ravenclaws diadem and uses the radish-like thingies for said intelligence boosting property, as Ravenclaws diadem is said to have had enhanced the intelligence of the one who wears it.
17:40 Is that it? I always took it as the opposite. The bird goes to Borgin and Burkes and is killed by Fenrir and sent back through the cabinet showing that the teleportion of it actually does work now. Draco then breaks down knowing that he has to go through with the plan. There's no more stalling. This is the time. And he's not ready.
I think you are right actually. Wasn't it a thing that before that the birds just disappeared into the void, because the connection between the two cabinets was faulty?
And for Hermione getting the time turner, the thing isn't even just her taking way too many classes, it's the schedule layout. They have 3rd-year Arithmancy and 3rd-year Divination (or whichever two classes it was) at the same time, so even if those were your only two electives, you would still be double-booked for that hour, unless they have two different classes for each grade and subject, which wouldn't be likely based on demand.
Hogwarts. Giving students time travel device instead of making a better timetable, or opting to do extracurricular classes with them like a normal teacher would.
He didn't want the elder wand to go to Snape, because dumbledore choose the time and manner of his death the elder wand would have not be WON by Snape and as such it would lose its power. That back fires when Draco unintentionally wins the wand.
I don't think Hermione obliviates her parents because she's worried about them giving up crucial information, but to help prevent Voldemort from finding them to use them as bait to draw Hermione and likely, Harry, out of hiding.
I think its both, and that they wouldn't be found/tortured for information if they left and didn't remember who they were. in the book they move to Australia and she tells Ron and Harry that she had unforgettable told them too much about Harry.
Harry's lightning scar is exactly where the killing curse hit him and shape of the Avada Kadavra wand motion. Voldemort literally aimed at a baby's face to kill it.
Ok but the curse is repeatedly said to not leave a mark on its victims… if it works, shouldn’t it leave an similar/even more pronounced scar? I think the scar came from the beginning of the horcrux making process (long hinted to involve cannibalism)
So the radio question about Ron. I think it's more then just hearing about the outside world that they are far removed from at the moment. He is the only one of the 3 who has family directly involved in the war. Hermiones family and memory wiped and living in Australia in relative safety and harry has none. But for Ron he has a large family all targeted and invested in the war he is listening for their names hoping not to hear them listed with the dead or missing. Also I believe Fred and George hosted the broadcast he was fond of listening to and hearing their voices must have been comforting
Honestly I think the Weasley family is one of the things the movies handled the worst in Deathly Hallows. Ron leaving hinges entirely on him believing not only that Harry had led Hermoione, the woman he loves, out into the thick of defeating Voldemort with literally no plan or direction whatsoever (changing "we thought you knew what you were doing" to "I thought" in the movie undermining this entirely) but also because, in Ron's point of view, Harry was being VERY dissmissive about the Weasleys - upon learning that Ginny was sent to the Forbidden Forest Harry just laughs it off because he's been lucky enough to experience the best of that place, whilst Ron understands how dangerous it can be. Having Ron say "Your parents are dead!" instead of "Mine could be going the same way!" once again undermines the legitimacy of Ron's concerns and reduces him to a "moody boy" instead of showing how the Locket is bringing up Ron's worst fears to the surface, especially because he was already recuperating from losing a chunk of his arm due to splinching.
If I were Hermione I'd date Ron too. It's like she isn't fully comfortable w Harry, she's like and older sister or something. Whereas Ron actually pushes her and brings out her emotions therefore making her more comfortable to act any way around him. Her relationship w Harry is purely platonic, it's a bit serious too at times since she talks seriously and Harry sometimes just listens. Whereas Ron just treats her like everyone else, it seems more fun when Ron's around. She's serious and she needs someone like Ron in her life so she can also have fun. Her being w Harry might be a bit drab
Ah yes we're gonna have the entire school lose a years worth of Defense Against the Dark Arts Education to teach Harry a personal lesson. That is the kind of terrible abuse of power that I expect of Dumbledore.
@@Marcedonia but i don’t actually believe there wasn’t anyone else qualified and willing to teach. The whole order of the phoenix is right there and snape desperately wanted the job. Even dumbledore could have just taught the class. The thing is that lockhart is worse than not having a teacher at all. I think they would be better off just learning from the book rather than spending money buying his books and wasting time listening to his mostly made up stories.
@@sylvy16 this was before the order was like going in again, like voldemort’s been dead for like a decade at this point, and dumbles knew the position was cursed so he didn’t want snape to die, and dumbledore’s headmaster, he’s got so much more duties, and he’s also the head of the wizengamont or something like that.
@Latest Obsession yes this, it’s like having a year studying Shakespeare in English… Nobody is saying you should write all of your formal writing in iambic pentameter, speak in complex old fashioned English and write all your love letters as Shakespearean sonnets (although feel free)… Gilderoy’s books were bestsellers in the non-fiction Defence against the Dark Arts genre at the time and they contained actually useful creative solutions to problems that were no doubt worth reading, but you could learn almost as much about what NOT to do with Defence against the Dark Arts by watching Professor Lockhart hopelessly trying to demonstrate them… Indeed arguably Harry would’ve had a lot less success forming the DA if they’d had excellent Defence teachers every year as his main strengths were Lockhart’s main weaknesses and vice versa:- Harry wasn’t exceptionally knowledgeable and hadn’t memorised huge numbers of situations and how to handle them almost perfectly, but what he did know he could reliably execute well and he knew what it was like to actually be there and use them whereas Lockhart couldn’t demonstrate anything and could only pretend to have been in the situations he described.
19:15 I've always said that someone finding the Resurrection Sone would've been a much better/actually good premise for the Cursed Child - you wouldn't even have to change the idea that they want to save Cedric (I mean, I still would, but it could still work with this premise).
I think the scar question at the end is meant like: why does being hit by a curse produce a scar on your forehead? It's not like he gets cut by the curse.
I always just assumed that he had a scar from surviving the spell. Many people who are struck by lightning have massive scars that look kinda like lightning (google lightning scars for a look). I just assumed that Harry had something like that. I was disappointed when the movies went with the ‘lightning icon’ scar instead of an actual lightning scar. The real deal is way cooler.
Hagrid also likes Harry because he liked his parents and Hagrid lives in a hut because he's a gamekeeper and he probably wanted to have distance between him and the other students after he was expelled and later he was simply used to it and didn't want to go into the castle for he liked a "bit o'fresh air ya know", BUT NOT because he wanted to save money for he could have gotten a room in the castle for it's huge with many empty classrooms (proof Firenze with classroom 11 on the main floor).
trelawny's main problem seems to be that she focused so much on learning about divination that she really doesn't know anything else, which causes her to be unable to properly interpret her inner eye. but maybe a knowledge of current events would dim it and she knew that from studying divination so much. but she certainly has a true inner eye and as this channel has pointed out several times including in this video, every prediction she ever makes in the series comes true. not just the two big ones, EVERYTHING. it just wasn't always in the context she stated or was stated with her missing information. while rowling isn't likely to be on my christmas list i think she was really clever to make a fortune teller character that everyone considers a fraud who also happens to always predict true even if those predictions cannot be confirmed or really understood until after the prediction comes true, and once it comes true it can be confirmed that her predictions weren't random nonsense, they definitely related to that event even if she didn't understand them enough to give guidance.
Feel like this could be a good introduction to the channel, like it gives u a whole bunch of other videos to watch based off the questions u have and also shows how entertaining yall are
Also, a small note about the radish earrings. The actress that played Luna stated that they are actually dirigible plums but because Harry was raised in the Muggle world, he assumed they were radishes.
So like. Harry says the power of the elder wand will die with him. That is assuming he can go his entire life without being disarmed. We know that he disarmed Malloy who was using an entirely different wand an the elder wand transitioned to Harry because of this. Wouldn’t it hold the same for him even if he is using his phoenix core wand
The only thing that the movies got right is him braking the Elder Wand and throwing it off the bridge I liked that other then putting it back in Dumbledores tomb
“Why does Harry Potter have a scar?” This is more interesting than you make it. Avada Kedavra never leaves a mark on its victim. Why does it leave a mark on Harry when he is a baby? And why wouldn’t it also leave a mark on him in Deathly Hallows?
Nope, JK.ROwling said she used a scar at the time cos she thought it looked cool, keep in mind that at the time of that decision she was working at a coffee shop/ so law wouldn't be that important lol. Underwhelming but true.
"Why does harry have a scar" is actually an interesting question. The killing curse doesn't usually leave a mark and the other horcruxes don't have marks on them. Nagini doesn't have a lightening shaped scar. Why would the killing curse leave a mark in this case? I expect a theory video ;)
AND why did it leave a mark if it didn't work? It would make more sense for all horcruxes EXCEPT Harry to have a mark since Harry was protected by his mother's love
I acutally have 2 Minerva McGonagall-Questions for you guys: 1. why does she know how to unscrew the chandelier peeves is trying to loosen (there HAS to be an amazing backstory!! :D) and 2. where did she get her giant chessboard from? :D
1. It's possible she had to tighten it or any other member of staff did and then spoke about it so she'd know how to loosen it. 2.She probably transfigured it into existence of made a regular chessboard from the wizarding world bigger
I also like to think that the answer to number one was definitely marauders related and she loved the boys so much that even years later she still remembers specific details of their pranks such as which way the chandelier unscrews
"why does she know how to unscrew the chandelier peeves is trying to loosen" probably because she can see that he is trying to unscrew it the wrong way. or because most screws turn to the left to loosen.
Snape hates harry for beeing the chosen one and neville because he wasnt. Lily died because of that. I think thats the better explanation. Not that this is a good reason but feelings do not always match with logic.
Not a fan of this theory because the main reason seems to be that Snape sees a lot of James in Harry but Harry’s eyes remind him of Lily so Snape feels both the awful feelings he has of James and the awful feelings of loosing Lily
#Justice4ChoHAWTLIPSChang Also I love how in depth you get when I would have, and some of the rest of us if I have to guess would have used a shorter answer like “He loved Lily”
11:31 not only that, Dumbledore is also afraid that Voldemort might realise how close the two are and try and use it against them (the same way he used Harry's love for Sirius to set up a trap)
Ron makes it snow in both movies and books, but in the books he actually does it with his wand by a mistake, he points it up in the air, he doesnt't have his arms crossed like in the movie
@@captainspaulding5963 pfft I mean hypothetically it would work.. which raises a lot of questions about that spell. It always seemed a bit weird, just able to conjure anything? It was a plot device (like all magic was) but like, if you just said like.. ‘accio covid vaccine’ would it just steal one from the nearest pharmacy that has it? Or is it like a radius thing? Cuz Voldemort could’ve just done that for literally everything, stollen the cloak right off Harry’s back. I know it was because they wanted to drag out the story, but dude. Make a less OP spell next time.
@@piniatafullofblood No, it wouldn’t. The summoning charm was clearly proven in both the books and the movies to have no effect on the cloak. Which leaves a high likelihood that it wouldn’t work on the other hallows either.
I would pay for a spin off of the marauders and the heavily flawed protagonists, and see snapes falling out and downfall. I think it would add to all the complexity of their characters and make everyone pre second wizarding war very morally grey and less black and white
I think in the scene where Umbridge and the inquisitorial squad crash the DA meeting, there is Cho at their side, implying that they went to the room of requirements directly after questioning her
related question: when they formed Dumbledore's Army, why didn't they make Harry (or Ron or Hermione idk) the Secret Keeper for anything DA-related, starting right from the fact that they existed at all?! that way nobody could've snitched to Umbridge, and also nobody outside of the DA would ever be able to understand what the DA coins did!
@@JuanMataCFC because thats extremely complex to do. even flitwick states that the fidelius charm is "immensely complex" to perform, and he is a master of charms, i doubt any da member couldve done it properly at that point.
@@jave3406 I suppose, but it is an interesting thing to consider. Herminone created the Polyjuice potion which was similarly described in her second year, and in OoTP there’s another comment by a Ravenclaw about the spell she puts on the coin. You’re probably right, but I think there’s a version where she might have tried any way given the circumstances
I think Snape's patronus being a doe like Lily's vs James' patronus being a stag shows the difference in how they "care" for Lily. To me, it's always seemed like Snape's was a doe because he was OBSESSED with Lily rather than being in love with her.
@SAM STROMBERG okay you're entitled to your opinion. And I'm entitled to mine, which is that I don't believe that Snape was truly in love with Lily. I think he just had romanticized her and obsessed over her. And that's okay for us to think about that differently.
@SAM STROMBERG I also never said that a change in patronus HAD to signify an obsession. I just said I thought in this case that was what it signified. And it was Tonks' patronus that changed. Earlier in the novel that that happens in, the characters believed that her patronus changed to look like Sirius' animagus form because of her guilt over not killing Bellatrix before she killed Sirius, who was Tonks' family member (they didn't see the patronus clearly so it didn't become apparent until later that it actually changed because of Lupin). Wasn't saying that in a mean way btw. I just wanted to make sure everyone was on the same page. No hate sent your way 😊
@@satsujin-shathewitchkingof6185 In Half Blood Prince, when Harry asks Lupin how a patronus can change, the first thing he says is "a great shock", so I wonder if Snape's patronus changed to the doe when Lily died, not when Snape first fell in love with her.
I really think they should’ve let Hagrid continue his magical studies after his name was cleared in Chamber
It’s never mentioned in the series, but I like to think that Hagrid was technically able to continue studying magic after CoS but chose not to because he was happy with where he was
Now there's a question. What happens to those who've been expelled and had their wands snapped, but are later cleared? You can't exactly replace that... Do they just have to buy a new one? And what if someone who had theirs brokens TRIES to buy a new one? Does someone alert Ollivander that so-and-so isn't allowed a new wand?
(As a writer I have a vested interest in the answer to these questions)
This has always made me wonder, if the trace is removed at 17, whos to stop Hagrid from obtaining a new wand? What about homeschooled students? Do you have to pass the OWLs to be able to get your trace removed at 17? The books state the its illegal/impossible to track wizards after 17. What happens if you don't pass your OWLs? Do you get chucked out? So what constitutes a student being able to become magically "certified"? So many questions surrounding this "rule". What if you're parents are ex-pats and live somewhere far from magical institutions? Do you still have a trace on you if you grew up in Brazil? I doubt Olivander (and all the other wand makers in the world) have some central database in which they can track who can and cannot legally obtain a wand.
He still had a dangerous creature in the castle.. Think the expulsion was fair. But Azkaban was wrong.
@@snophund Haha. Very true, very fair.
Changing the student's attire to muggle clothing definetly was not a good idea. Having it show characterization does make sense, but each character's uniqueness was shown while they were wearing robes in earlier movies.
For example, in the Sorcerer's Stone, Ron's tie is tied horribly, Harry's is crooked, and Hermione's is perfect. Their scarfs mirror this. Ron's scarf is just thrown around his shoulder's, Harry's is tied basically, and Hermione's is tied in a fasionable, funcional manner. This easily represents that Ron is a little careless, and liekly won't care about his appearence. Harry does care, but not enough to take extra time to do something especially well. Plus, how could he perfectly tie a tie after living with the Durselys for so long? Then, Hermione, of course, looks perfect because she's Hermione.
I realize that I just wrote two paragraphs about two sentences in the video that weren't even on topic, but I'm a Ravenclaw, so I can't just not do it.
I think perhaps they realized it would be too expensive to keep making the robes/uniforms for all of the child actors (they were getting older and taller with each movie after all) and thats why they switched to muggle clothes. Less of a problem for the adults.
@@Boundwithflame23 this was one of the highest grossing movie franchises in history and it was a huge success starting from the first movie. I doubt it that they did this because of financial reason.
@@zoltan139 yeah good point. Hmm
Another thought is that it was very time consuming. You have hundreds of kids you have to have fitted for new robes when they have sudden growth spurts during filming.
Ravenclaw Pride
@@Boundwithflame23 Good ideas!
I like how at the beginning of every question, J gives a little pleasantly surprised "Oh?"
Was it in the books that Albus wanted to see his family again with the stone? I don’t remember that bit
Wrong Ron is listening to the radio because he is wants to make sure his loved one's are still alive
Oh slice bread, a great Lady Macbeth!
Honestly about milking Nagini.
In Swedish we also apparently call it milking. I did not know that it was called milking so I always assumed Nagini was magical in such a way (or was made such by magic) that allowed them to literally milk her a reptile.
So when we found out that Nagini was a human once... I wasn't really surprised. I actually still, to this day, believe that Nagini is giving milk as in mother's milk to Voldemort.
I did like this format - really fun.
I'm just saying, wouldn't it have been awesome if the snake that Harry talks to in the second book have survived, become Harry's second pet, and faced off Nagini In the goblet of fire.
Weren't Sirius' tattoos something he did to partly protect himself from the dementors?
I think Rowling said the Stone was crushed by the stampede of the centaurs.
Wow Roanoke? You guys are wayyy closer than I imagined
I really liked this format. Do one with Ben answering next!

Didn't y'all have a google answer series a while ago? I like these long form variants of them, and the timer is fun too.

Sirius laughed because he believed that Peter blew up the street, 12 muggles, and HIMSELF. It was a hysterical reaction to the irony of Peter essentially killing his best friends to save his own life, and then accidentally committing suicide a few hours later.
Sirius wouldn't have sat quietly in Azkaban for 12 years if he didn't think Peter was dead. He recognizes the rat as Peter in the photo in the Daily Prophet, and then connects the dots as to what happened when he sees the rat is missing the toe Peter cut off as evidence of his "death".
While reading the book for the first time I was like 99% sure that they will explain that it had something to do with the Tickeling Charm since they mention it so much throught the book and learn it in the same year... but then it never happened :O
I'm sorry, but that's not true, I've looked it up. Sirius says in Prisoner of Azkaban: "I had to do something. I was the only one who knew Peter was still alive." He knew Peter was alive from the beginning, but when he saw the picture in the Prophet he realised Peter was in the perfect position to harm Harry if Voldemort regained power, that's why he decided to act. It's all in the chapter "The Servant of Lord Voldemort"
@@ahsoka_tano_98 How exactly does that quote disprove what was said?
@@dunyacaliskan7495 The knowledge of Peter's death seems to be the determining factor, in the arguments.
@@dunyacaliskan7495 Sirius never believed Peter actually died, he knew what had really happened straight away. So he did sit in Azkaban for 12 years knowing Peter wasn't dead
8:49 that's kinda right that Ron listened to the radio for info about the outside world, but what he very specifically wanted was to see if any of his friends or family were on the list of people who died that day
in the movie, yes, but in the book he is trying to find the underground radio program for Harry and Hermione to hear, because it was so encouraging
I answered as he wanted to make sure he never heard his family members names so that he’d know they were safe
@@libbyann78 Yes and the radio show in the book was exceptionally hard to tune into. Basically, someone who trusted you had to tell you of the show and its password. Then you could not miss a single show (which might skip several nights) to get the next password.
One of my favorite things I read somewhere about Ginny is the only reason book Ginny would have done the awkward shoe tying scene would have been to tie his laces together so he'd trip.... lol
sounds bout right
That is so true! Omg! 😂😂
The fact that Sirius spent more time in Azkaban than with James makes his comment "good one, James" so much more heart breaking.
@@Mixitup1108 James and Lily were 21 when they died. Sirius only knew James 10 years before spending 13 in Azkaban.
@@Mixitup1108 They met at the Hogwarts express, September 1, at 11 years old. James and Lily died at the age of 21, in October. So they knew each other for a little more than 10 years. Sirius spent 12 years (not 13) in Azkaban. So yeah, the math.
Why do you do this to me? :(
Why’d you have to tell me this 💔. He really loved James.
😢😢😢😢😢
Ron also listens to the radio because he wants to make sure his family is okay.
Yes, I think that was his main reason for listening.
This. I’m pretty sure he got the question incorrect
Yes, i think he even said it himself in the books. When he is angry he says something like I listen if there names come up on the radio so I know they are not dead.
The better question is: Why is the radio used by wizards? Who are infamously bad at grasping the basic muggle items.
@@wizardeye6212 That's in the movie.
Also with Narcissa lying to Voldemort is just another instance where a mother’s love saves Harry’s life.
Mommys just love Harry 😁
Hagrid likes Harry so much because he reminds him of himself, and orphan, an outcast, good hearted, and misunderstood.
Or they're why he likes Harry anyway, regardless of Harry being like him.
He loved Harry's parents, and rescued baby Harry from the burning wreckage himself. That's a pretty big bond.
oops shouldn't have said that
Hagrid likes Harry because he’s quite literally one of the only students who is consistently nice to him. No one else goes to have tea with hagrid except ginny like once, and Harry/Ron are the only two who actually like hagrid as a teacher and think he’s good
@@jar-jarsforceghost1352 Luna did, as did most others.
"Why does Hermione like Ron" because Ron is always the one who stands up for her when she's being ridiculed and humiliated by people. Harry is a good friend for her but he usually is silent when people mocked Hermione. The movie doesn't portray it well, though.
No. This was just a little forced. Ron and Hermione do not make sense
@@proudindian2945 Well, I don't think so¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Romione makes perfect sense to me since Goblet of Fire. Harmione doesn't make more sense to me. But to each their own.
"The movie doesn't portray it well." When Snape calls Hermione a know-it-all, the movie completely changes Ron's reaction from yelling "Why ask a question if you don't want to know the answer?" at Snape to saying "He's got a point, you know." Absolute butchery.
I think also the levity Ron brings to her life is something she probably needs.
@@deadfish3789 that was the scene I had in my mind when I wrote this comment
Ron listens to the radio so that he knows if any of his family die. He doesn't want to hear their names but at the same time if their names are to be said, he has to know.
I read a cool theory: Peter used a cheering charm to make Sirius laugh hysterically. During third year Flitwick is teaching them cheering charms and says if performed incorrectly can cause uncontrollable laughter. Usually what the golden trio learn correlates to other plots in the books. I think Peter performed it incorrectly on purpose to force Sirius’s laughter. That and with the fact Peter bested him, is why he laughs.
That makes much more sense than hysteria, which is the only other explanation.
This is absolutely fascinating. And you're right that those minor school moments do tend to be foreshadowing for something or other. Like when we learn during one of Harry's exams that failing to perform a silencing charm causes a frog to swell up. And what did Harry say before accidentally blowing up Aunt Marge? "Shut UP!"
He subconsciously went to silence her with magic, but botched it.
How do you intentionally perform a spell incorrectly tho
@@balil7677 It might be as simple as having that specific effect in mind when you cast it, but there are other possibilities as well. Maybe he wanted the real cheering charm for some reason (to make Sirius calm down and listen, or to seem happy about Peter's death to the onlookers), but messed up due to panic.
Or maybe when he was learning the spell in school he could never get it right, and so he knew he had a "spell" ready to cause intense laughter, by knowingly (but not intentionally) casting it wrong. He would attempt to cast it correctly, knowing that he'd fail it anyway and get that alternate effect.
...Could have sworn there was another example of someone casting wrong on purpose in Harry Potter, but since I can't think of it I'll instead compare it to an early Katara from Avatar screwing up an ice spell by sending it backwards instead of forwards, and then just turning around and doing exactly the same motion again to hit her target.
@@balil7677I don’t think it’s hard to do something incorrectly on purpose, like you can purposefully press the wrong button to make something bad happen.
I suppose it’s just a matter of knowing what you did to perform it incorrectly and then purposefully repeating said “mishap” to get a desired effect?
My theory about why Harry has to compete in the Triwizard Tournament is that he doesn't - Crouch is under the Imperius Curse in this moment and (in the book) Dumbledore defers to Crouch because he trusts him. Thus, Crouch is forced to lie and the lie goes unchallenged.
This is an absolutely amazing theory and I have instantly accepted it as my headcanon.
That's what I always thought too!
I’d definitely watch a SCB video on Crouch being Imperiused
That makes sense! Unless there's something saying it on pottermore or something you're idea makes the most sense
This was always my thought as well! Part of the scene is Crouch making the “final call.”
Trelawny actually teaches the students to identify and meet unfair expectations using creative thinking. And since "the sight" is a rare gift, she KNOWS that her students have to make up their answers. Harry and Ron get the best grades when they play into the "ever more dramatic ways to die" example she sets in class.
hey bro i’m really interested in maybe a deeper dive into what you’re saying? if you have time of course, i just would like some more detail to better understand trelawnys methods. thank you!
@@AaronBlake-in3wk In the books, Hermione is VERY rude to Trelawny, who does eventually lose her temper, but she puts up with Hermione's attitude pretty well for months. In the books, you're supposed to be on Hermione's side, not Trelawny's; you're supposed to think Trelawny is an idiot, but when it's proved that she's not, you start wondering what she's actually been up to with that class.
@@AaronBlake-in3wk mate every teacher ever has lost their temper.
I think Hermione is kind of right in that Trelawny is totally fake. She teaches a subject that basically cannot be taught and she knows it. Also, she comes from a line of people with sight, but it's kind of weak in her so she only had 2 true prophecies in her entire life and even that was totally out of her control and she didn't remember afterwards. So I would think she's having a perpetual case of imposter syndrome as well, since she doesn't really know that she actually had those true prophecies, one was the most important prophecy of their lifetime. Nevertheless that doesn't make divination as a form of magic in itself fake, as we can see with the centaurs, there are forms of it that rely less on innate talent and are more objective, but those also give more vague prophecies usually.
@@UmbraKrameriwe also see what a *truly skilled Seer* can do in the form of Grindawald in the Fantastic Beasts films, clearly Divination is real form of magic that can be put to use skilfully, it’s just that only a select few have the ability to use it at all.
If you ask me, I don’t think anyone who isn’t a Seer (i.e. they have “the sight”) can do any form of Divination, so no matter how many times Lavander and Parvati stare at brown gunk in their teacups, they’re never gonna be able to see the future.
If *I* was running Hogwarts I’d make Divination some kind of extracurricular activity for people who have been identified as Seers (somehow)

Whenever J ran out of time, it was mostly because he got caught in side explanations and complications. 😂
or repeated the question haha
"Why did Dumbledore hire Lockhart?"
FOR THE LAUGHS
"I hope Harry kills this one too"
Yeah, he basically just ruined a whole year of DADA for every single student in the school, just to teach Harry a lesson. It's an insane decision when you think about it and not fair to other students, especially to students from 5-7 year who have to learn more and more complex magic but they don't have a competent teacher to teach them.
Why does Harry says "It's alright Ginny. It's over. It's just a memory"? When it's clearly not over for Ginny, she still has the memories of being possessed by Voldemort, killed some chickens, almost killed students and her love of her life almost dies. Sure Harry, everything is alright.
@@RedDoom33 I think he was just referring to the fact that young Voldemort (a memory stored in diary) has now 'died' and that they don't have to worry about fighting him (in that form) anymore
I’ve seen ‘cos he had a crush on him’ 😂😂
Hermione has never thought very highly of Fleur, especially in Goblet of Fire. I think Emma Watson knew how Hermione felt about Fleur, and her saying “ze grindylows” like that was Hermione mocking Fleur for her ineptitude at the 2nd Task. I don’t know if she was directed to read the line like that, or if it was her own interpretation and choice to read it that way.
I'm not sure, but I think someone made a video that shows Emma is saying something else in the movie (they showed close-ups of her lips), and that it is her voice-over saying that line, so it must have been the director not liking it the way it originally was, and making her do it over. Even after shooting was over already. Or maybe she had been told to say it that way and she forgot, and they only found out afterwards.
I always just imagined Fleur coming up to the surface early shouting/complaining about “ze grindelows” that ruined her performance in the trial and that hermione, not liking her anyway, would roll her eyes at this. Hence then mocks her later to Harry.
Take a shot every time Ben says “I agree with you completely”
He also constantly said “like”
“Nailed it”
Looking for someone to comment this exact thing
I'm stationed in the hospital due to alcohol poisoning now, thanks a lot

I thought Ron making it snow in the movie made sense, Harry would unintentionally cause magical things to happen when he was angry. Ron didn't do that when he was angry, but going through a breakup was a new thing for him to go through emotionally.
He does it in the book too (though more out of distraction than emotional upheaval).
I think we learned that 'why Snape hates Harry' deserves many good answers in a video of it's own from all of this. Simple question, many interesting answers in the comments.
Was gonna like this comment but it had 69 likes already and I didn't wanna break that
😐 someone broke it.
It wasn’t me.
Until books six and seven were released, the prevailing theory was that Snape was treating Harry badly on purpose to stay in Voldemort's good graces.
I think there are several reasons Shape hated Harry
1. He lived and Lily didn't
2. He looked like James
3. He was James' son and not Snakes
And my personal opinion
4. He NEEDED Harry to hate HIM.
let me explain
As penance for what he did and for getting Lily killed, he needed to see the hatred he was sure Lily would feel for him and since Harry's eyes were just like hers he got his wish every time he saw Harry. I've always maintained that Snape was an extremely complicated man and the only one who completely understood him was himself
Yeah. the red-headed daughter thing and lily being stolen from snape thing are both really gross and untrue reasonings for that questions.
This is a nice evolution of the “Google Autofill” series from years ago! I’d love to see more stuff like this!
*"Snape was in love with James ... there's a thin line between love and hate."*
Sooooo ... future video on this channel? I mean ... you've sold me on stranger things before!
#snames
# Jape Snape and James
And maybe he doesn’t hate James, he just resents that James chose Lilly over him.
I feel like Hermione liked Ron cause he was talented but also fun…he showed her that school work is not everything. I think Ron is such a good guy. He has his moments, but I can’t imagine being the sixth brother with everything to prove but also no recognition. What Hermione says about him living in Harry’s and the Weasley brothers’ shadows is true. And by and large he is such a humble, loyal friend. You see Harry getting all hurt when Ron is made prefect or when Ron gets attention for stuff, and Ron has to deal with that all the time. For the most part he deals with it really well, other than that time in Goblet of Fire…I guess I’m just rereading the series rn and finding a whole new appreciation of Ron
13:23 and 20:20 I believe it was also meant to be a subversion of expectations, as normally the lead guy, gets with the lead girl. For example people who haven't finished or read the books or watched the movies often presume Harry and Hermione would be a couple due to the trope.
Also Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione both work so much better Harry/Hermione
Harry/Hermione are basically siblings
Rowling said that she identifies most with Hermione and she liked funny boys in that age, so it’s more what made sense to her from personal perspective.
@@thethreerailwayengines825 I see Ron and Hermione more as siblings than Harry and Hermione. I think Ron would make more sense with Draco than with Hermione.
Forget the trope, Harry and Hermione actually like each other. Subverting the trope would have been for NONE of them to wind up together.
@@adde9506 Hermione and Nevil, Harry and Luna, and Ron and Draco. No one would of expected that.
I’ve always loved the theory that a mothers love has saved Harry from death many a time. Obviously, Lily sacrifice is the first example. But also, after Harry saves Draco from the fiend fire, it could be possible that Narcissa was bound by a mother’s gratitude for saving her child. This, even more than just her disloyalty to Voldemort, is what pushes her to protect Harry.
The thing is, is that Narcissa doesn't know about what happened with the fiend fire. She doesn't even know if Draco is still alive, that's why she asks Harry if he is.
@@Keyboardje Voldemort didn’t know he created an extra horcrux in Harry. Lily didn’t know that her literal self-sacrifice would create blood protection. It’s magic! I like to think it was something like that
@@marielaluisa7273
I think she did lie on purpose. To her as a mother, her son was much more important than Voldemort. She wasn't a Death Eater. And even he was "cured" as soon as Voldemort began treating him bad for letting the prophecy break.
I think she thought that Harry had won, that he could not be killed and picked what she thought the winning side on the spot. Asking if Malfoy was alive was to know whether it was worthwhile to keep living. IMO
Lillys sacrifice, and Narcissas love for Draco but not cause shes gratefull he saved him cause she doesnt know that, but Draco is alive and alone and unprotected at the castle and the best way for her to get to him and protect her baby boy is to say Harry is dead. Hes also inadvertedly saved by Mrs Crouchs mothers love for Bart crouch jr letting him escape so he can go on to teach Harry how to cast of the impreious curse, one could also make an argument for Andromeda Thonk's mothers love providing a safe spot for her daughters rescue mission even tho neither Andromeda nor Ted being part of the order of the phoenix, Molly Weasleys mothers love having her kill Belatrix in response to almost killing Ginny which rattles Voldemort right before the final duel. More interesting to me tho is that Harry is also saved, in a way thats much more commonly overlooked, by a sisters love as Petunia takes him in and gives him a home with Lillys blood relatives extending the sacrificial protection which among other things saves his life in the first book.
"Why does Snape hate Harry?" I always thought it was because, in Snape's mind, Harry could have/should have been his kid. And to your point, the fact that Harry looks so much like James really hammers it home the fact that he's not Snape's.
also harry is the reason lily (and james) die
That’s still pretty bad
@@shika15 not saying it isnt! just saying there's a lot of reasons
Not to mention he has Lily’s eyes so every time Snape looks at Harry he’s reminded of Lily and James’ union. Reminded that the love of his life chose his tormentor over him.
@@Thunderbender18830 yup I think that’s the most logical reason. The original comment is a little far reaching
I thought Ron was listening to the radio because he was hoping not to hear his family's names
Well yes he was, but that’s just a more specific answer. So you’re not wrong but neither is J.
I think it's a pretty big oversimplification to say: "Snape hated Harry because he reminded him of James, and James STOLE LILY FROM HIM". Most importantly, we should remember that James bullied Snape for years, long before James and Lily were a thing. He humiliated him in "Snape's Worst Memory" by exposing his underwear. Also, Harry was kind of a reason why Lily died. Of course, it wasn't Harry's fault by any means, but still. Both of those reasons are quite petty, but in my opinion, it's simply more complex than: "James stole a girl from him".
Most answers in this video are oversimplification
Snape was the reason Voldemort heard of the prophecy in the first place so i’m sure he blames himself more for that than he blames Harry
Yk, you can't explain all that in 15 secs
James’s bullying wasn’t as one-sided as most people say... Snape was also mean to James, James just usually won. And we see the memories from Snape’s perspective. He wasn’t that nice and sweet of a dude.
@@RoaringMind I mean it seems so in the books too. They bullied him as a group which is way worse and not what anyone deserves.
Snape hates Harry because he sees both Lilly and James in him, he also knows Harry's alive because Lilly is dead and for awhile Snape blames Harry
Yeah, Harry is the reason Lily is dead. She sacrificed herself to save him. Without Harry, Lily would still be alive. So when Snape sees Harry, he sees the cause of her death.
I think "Why does Harry Potter have a scar?" Is a valid question. After all, the killing curse usually leaves no trace on the victims body!
Harry has the scar because Voldemort fulfilled the Prophecy by marking Harry as his Equal.
My head canon is that since the horcrux spell has long been hinted to involve cannibalism, the scar is from the beginning of the horcrux ritual and maybe also the opening Voldemort’s soul invaded through
The scar is because the horcrux is inside of it.
My theory is that the scar has nothing to do with the Killing Curse, but instead something to do with a part of Voldemort's soul entering Harry's body. That would explain why Harry's scar of all things hurts when Voldemort is angry.
@@sarasamaletdin4574 there were no scars on the other horcruxes. The prophesy you clearly states that Voldemort would Mark the child as his equal.
On the “Percy has more OWLs than Hermione and therefore he had to have a Time Turner” point - OWL rules are never discussed. But there’s nothing to suggest that you actually have to take the classes to take the OWLs. A wizard or witch could simply self-study and pass the tests for the additional OWLs beyond the number of classes actually taken. And wizards and witches like Hermione and Percy are studious, disciplined and hardworking enough to actually self-study.
I’ve never thought of it this way! This is such a good idea and seems perfectly aligned with the way Hogwarts works and Dumbledore runs things. Yes!!!

I remember hearing a theory that Hermione Obliviated her parents long before _The Deathly Hallows,_ which is why she stops going home for the holidays. Maybe you could do a video on that?
Idk. There are explanations, at least for the Christmas holidays
Goblet: Yule Ball
Order: Mr Weasely is attacked and that emergency was probably more important in her mind
Half-Blood: Slughorn’s party
It’s been a hot minute since I read the books but I recall she goes on a trip with her parents at one point but decides to leave early.
@@Boundwithflame23 Hermione actually does go home for Christmas in Half Blood - at this point in the book she is not talking to Ron due to his relationship with Lavender, so she goes home to her parents and Harry, Ron and Ginny go to the Burrow 😊

What if Harry decided to break the magical contract with the Goblet? Would it really kill him even though he was a Horcrux? Can the Goblet of Fire destroy Horcruxes?
This would make a great SCB video!
i assume putting ur name into the Goblet of Fire is equivalent to making an Unbreakable Vow that u WILL compete in the Tournament. so i wonder if Harry breaking said vow would've resulted in Barty Crouch Jr's death instead of his own, since Harry wasn't the one to put his name into the Goblet to begin with.
@@JuanMataCFC Yeah! Wow! I didn't see that. That's a good point.
I never understood why Harry didn't just purposefully fail the first challenge
@@captainspaulding5963 Because he's a survivalist by nature. He just doesn't give up on anything easily.

@@adriannelson4214 Bwahahahahahahaha!
That's just... No.
I always thought that it was a little weird he ended up with Ginny who had a very noticeable crush on him when she was a 10 year old girl. I guess he found the fangirl thing flattering.
@@UmbraKrameri
Except that he paid her no attention until she started to ignore him and pursue others.
It was only after her "fan girl phase" that he started to view her romantically
I'd say the reason Tom hates muggles is because he views them as weak, which he despises. He thinks his mother's a muggle because she died so easily and when he found out it was actually his father he starts to resent them
I think them having power over him and his father being one (and he never starts to see his father as a victim but thinks he abandoned him like diary Riddle says) solified the hate. But being weak would have made him look down on them.
Also, every muggle he ever knew contributed to his absolutely wretched life or was overpowered by Riddle (a literal child during the time he formed this opinion). His childhood is like the demented, psychopathic version of Annie.
Yup yet 1 gunshot and Tom dead
I think he hated muggles because of the abandonment issues his *muggle* father gave him
Super awesome video!
Hermione loves Ron because she’s gotten to know him so well. He bears being in the shadow of his older brothers and his best friend better than most people would. He almost never resents Harry for taking the spotlight. Almost, Ron’s not perfect. He is incredibly loyal and willing to risk his life for his friends even when he was 11. Also, he makes her laugh!
PS Literally no romantic chemistry between Hermione and Harry in the books ever!
Harry loves Jinny because… She’s like totally a boss! He got to know her in an unromantic setting and watched her grow from a shy little girl into a flaming force of nature! She is spirited, brave, amazing at Quidditch, and not afraid to get into trouble.
PS Literally no romantic chemistry between Harry and Hermione in the books EVER!
No idea why serious black laughs after he believes he kills Peter Pettigrew. But he does believe that he has killed Peter Pettigrew.
Snape‘s Petronas is a dough because Lily’s Petronas was a dough.
In the movies, Cho Chang is forced to reveal Dumbledore‘s army through the use of a truth serum. Not her choice.
Harry has a lightning scar on his forehead because his mothers love protection saved him. The scar is a mark of her love because we all know that lightning is a metaphor for love!
Also also! Literally NO romantic chemistry between Harry and Hermione in the books EVER! They’re just too good of friends and harry admits to being bored hanging around her just her too much.
Correction: Sirius was subjected to the dementors for *twelve* years, not thirteen. So much better, right?
For the one about Ron listening to the radio, it's actually because he wanted to listen to make sure hos family's weren't a part of those names listed as dead.
Luna's earrings aren't actually radishes, but a fruit / vegetable that, according to the book "look like small, orange radishes" and enhance intelligence, or are at least rumored to. It's explained in deadly hallows when they visit Xenophilius, he is trying to recreate Ravenclaws diadem and uses the radish-like thingies for said intelligence boosting property, as Ravenclaws diadem is said to have had enhanced the intelligence of the one who wears it.
17:40 Is that it? I always took it as the opposite.
The bird goes to Borgin and Burkes and is killed by Fenrir and sent back through the cabinet showing that the teleportion of it actually does work now. Draco then breaks down knowing that he has to go through with the plan. There's no more stalling. This is the time. And he's not ready.
I think you are right actually. Wasn't it a thing that before that the birds just disappeared into the void, because the connection between the two cabinets was faulty?
@@UmbraKrameri Yep, you're exactly right. When the link between cabinets wasn't functioning properly, the birds never came back.

And for Hermione getting the time turner, the thing isn't even just her taking way too many classes, it's the schedule layout. They have 3rd-year Arithmancy and 3rd-year Divination (or whichever two classes it was) at the same time, so even if those were your only two electives, you would still be double-booked for that hour, unless they have two different classes for each grade and subject, which wouldn't be likely based on demand.
Hogwarts. Giving students time travel device instead of making a better timetable, or opting to do extracurricular classes with them like a normal teacher would.
@@UmbraKrameri They don't teach *math* at wizard school, and I doubt arithmancy is designed with non-magical efficiency in mind.
He didn't want the elder wand to go to Snape, because dumbledore choose the time and manner of his death the elder wand would have not be WON by Snape and as such it would lose its power. That back fires when Draco unintentionally wins the wand.
I don't think Hermione obliviates her parents because she's worried about them giving up crucial information, but to help prevent Voldemort from finding them to use them as bait to draw Hermione and likely, Harry, out of hiding.
I think its both, and that they wouldn't be found/tortured for information if they left and didn't remember who they were. in the book they move to Australia and she tells Ron and Harry that she had unforgettable told them too much about Harry.
Harry's lightning scar is exactly where the killing curse hit him and shape of the Avada Kadavra wand motion. Voldemort literally aimed at a baby's face to kill it.
@@cjtillinghast1804 And yet if you stop having little people, there is suddenly a shortage of big people.
Ok but the curse is repeatedly said to not leave a mark on its victims… if it works, shouldn’t it leave an similar/even more pronounced scar? I think the scar came from the beginning of the horcrux making process (long hinted to involve cannibalism)
@@cjtillinghast1804 lol
he went for the head
@@jar-jarsforceghost1352 Well, Voldemort did sort of explode himself.
Ron in a "moody" because Harry is a horcrux, and they spend so much time together like that time Harry was carrying the horcrux in book 7...
I love the irony of one of the wealthiest pureblood wizarding families dressing like wealthy muggles.
So the radio question about Ron. I think it's more then just hearing about the outside world that they are far removed from at the moment. He is the only one of the 3 who has family directly involved in the war. Hermiones family and memory wiped and living in Australia in relative safety and harry has none. But for Ron he has a large family all targeted and invested in the war he is listening for their names hoping not to hear them listed with the dead or missing. Also I believe Fred and George hosted the broadcast he was fond of listening to and hearing their voices must have been comforting
Honestly I think the Weasley family is one of the things the movies handled the worst in Deathly Hallows. Ron leaving hinges entirely on him believing not only that Harry had led Hermoione, the woman he loves, out into the thick of defeating Voldemort with literally no plan or direction whatsoever (changing "we thought you knew what you were doing" to "I thought" in the movie undermining this entirely) but also because, in Ron's point of view, Harry was being VERY dissmissive about the Weasleys - upon learning that Ginny was sent to the Forbidden Forest Harry just laughs it off because he's been lucky enough to experience the best of that place, whilst Ron understands how dangerous it can be. Having Ron say "Your parents are dead!" instead of "Mine could be going the same way!" once again undermines the legitimacy of Ron's concerns and reduces him to a "moody boy" instead of showing how the Locket is bringing up Ron's worst fears to the surface, especially because he was already recuperating from losing a chunk of his arm due to splinching.
If I were Hermione I'd date Ron too. It's like she isn't fully comfortable w Harry, she's like and older sister or something. Whereas Ron actually pushes her and brings out her emotions therefore making her more comfortable to act any way around him. Her relationship w Harry is purely platonic, it's a bit serious too at times since she talks seriously and Harry sometimes just listens. Whereas Ron just treats her like everyone else, it seems more fun when Ron's around. She's serious and she needs someone like Ron in her life so she can also have fun. Her being w Harry might be a bit drab
Ah yes we're gonna have the entire school lose a years worth of Defense Against the Dark Arts Education to teach Harry a personal lesson. That is the kind of terrible abuse of power that I expect of Dumbledore.
You do realize he was the ONLY person who wanted and applied for the job, and dumbledor never abuses her s power
@@Marcedonia but i don’t actually believe there wasn’t anyone else qualified and willing to teach. The whole order of the phoenix is right there and snape desperately wanted the job. Even dumbledore could have just taught the class.
The thing is that lockhart is worse than not having a teacher at all. I think they would be better off just learning from the book rather than spending money buying his books and wasting time listening to his mostly made up stories.
@@sylvy16 this was before the order was like going in again, like voldemort’s been dead for like a decade at this point, and dumbles knew the position was cursed so he didn’t want snape to die, and dumbledore’s headmaster, he’s got so much more duties, and he’s also the head of the wizengamont or something like that.
@Latest Obsession yes this, it’s like having a year studying Shakespeare in English… Nobody is saying you should write all of your formal writing in iambic pentameter, speak in complex old fashioned English and write all your love letters as Shakespearean sonnets (although feel free)…
Gilderoy’s books were bestsellers in the non-fiction Defence against the Dark Arts genre at the time and they contained actually useful creative solutions to problems that were no doubt worth reading, but you could learn almost as much about what NOT to do with Defence against the Dark Arts by watching Professor Lockhart hopelessly trying to demonstrate them… Indeed arguably Harry would’ve had a lot less success forming the DA if they’d had excellent Defence teachers every year as his main strengths were Lockhart’s main weaknesses and vice versa:-
Harry wasn’t exceptionally knowledgeable and hadn’t memorised huge numbers of situations and how to handle them almost perfectly, but what he did know he could reliably execute well and he knew what it was like to actually be there and use them whereas Lockhart couldn’t demonstrate anything and could only pretend to have been in the situations he described.
the single fact that Dumbledore denied Voldemort the job is sufficient to say that he didn't "abuse" his powers (or atleast his hiring ones).
19:15 I've always said that someone finding the Resurrection Sone would've been a much better/actually good premise for the Cursed Child - you wouldn't even have to change the idea that they want to save Cedric (I mean, I still would, but it could still work with this premise).
I think the scar question at the end is meant like: why does being hit by a curse produce a scar on your forehead? It's not like he gets cut by the curse.
well actually the curse never touched harry it bounced of him
which means the scar comes form the horcrux/soul entering him
@Latest Obsession The lightning shape is because of the movement of the wand when Avada Kedavra is cast
I always just assumed that he had a scar from surviving the spell. Many people who are struck by lightning have massive scars that look kinda like lightning (google lightning scars for a look). I just assumed that Harry had something like that. I was disappointed when the movies went with the ‘lightning icon’ scar instead of an actual lightning scar. The real deal is way cooler.
You have far more faith in humanity than I do. But your question is the CORRECT version.
@@bentleysoup Source?
Hagrid also likes Harry because he liked his parents and Hagrid lives in a hut because he's a gamekeeper and he probably wanted to have distance between him and the other students after he was expelled and later he was simply used to it and didn't want to go into the castle for he liked a "bit o'fresh air ya know", BUT NOT because he wanted to save money for he could have gotten a room in the castle for it's huge with many empty classrooms (proof Firenze with classroom 11 on the main floor).
trelawny's main problem seems to be that she focused so much on learning about divination that she really doesn't know anything else, which causes her to be unable to properly interpret her inner eye. but maybe a knowledge of current events would dim it and she knew that from studying divination so much. but she certainly has a true inner eye and as this channel has pointed out several times including in this video, every prediction she ever makes in the series comes true. not just the two big ones, EVERYTHING. it just wasn't always in the context she stated or was stated with her missing information. while rowling isn't likely to be on my christmas list i think she was really clever to make a fortune teller character that everyone considers a fraud who also happens to always predict true even if those predictions cannot be confirmed or really understood until after the prediction comes true, and once it comes true it can be confirmed that her predictions weren't random nonsense, they definitely related to that event even if she didn't understand them enough to give guidance.
Is this the glorious return of "Google Autofill"? One of your best series EVER!

LMTO
Also, a small note about the radish earrings. The actress that played Luna stated that they are actually dirigible plums but because Harry was raised in the Muggle world, he assumed they were radishes.
Glad to hear that Ben agrees with J completely :)
So like. Harry says the power of the elder wand will die with him. That is assuming he can go his entire life without being disarmed. We know that he disarmed Malloy who was using an entirely different wand an the elder wand transitioned to Harry because of this. Wouldn’t it hold the same for him even if he is using his phoenix core wand
And as an Auror, he was bound to get disarmed at some point by some random criminal.
Or if Harry practices with his children Expelliamus and one of them disarms him it will then be back in play at school if they then get disarmed.
The only thing that the movies got right is him braking the Elder Wand and throwing it off the bridge I liked that other then putting it back in Dumbledores tomb
I actually think the Harry scar question is legit. We know the Riddle family was unmarked, so why does the Killing Curse leave a scar on Harry?
Why does Dumbledore call Voldemort Tom? Uhm...coz it's his name?
He's not respecting Voldemort's evil pronouns

“Why does Harry Potter have a scar?”
This is more interesting than you make it. Avada Kedavra never leaves a mark on its victim. Why does it leave a mark on Harry when he is a baby? And why wouldn’t it also leave a mark on him in Deathly Hallows?
'Tis true. The scar represents the Horcrux's attachment, not simply the attempted murder. But, 15 second limit.
Nope, JK.ROwling said she used a scar at the time cos she thought it looked cool, keep in mind that at the time of that decision she was working at a coffee shop/ so law wouldn't be that important lol. Underwhelming but true.
"Why does Hermione say ze grindylows?" - She is clearly mocking Fleur. I picked that up on first reading. No ambiguity there.
@@solongandgoodnight1820 Because why would she do that? And also, why is it weirdly dubbed over the footage in the scene?
"Why does harry have a scar" is actually an interesting question. The killing curse doesn't usually leave a mark and the other horcruxes don't have marks on them. Nagini doesn't have a lightening shaped scar. Why would the killing curse leave a mark in this case? I expect a theory video ;)
AND why did it leave a mark if it didn't work? It would make more sense for all horcruxes EXCEPT Harry to have a mark since Harry was protected by his mother's love

I have a hunch that Ben is agreeing completely
I acutally have 2 Minerva McGonagall-Questions for you guys: 1. why does she know how to unscrew the chandelier peeves is trying to loosen (there HAS to be an amazing backstory!! :D) and 2. where did she get her giant chessboard from? :D
1. It's possible she had to tighten it or any other member of staff did and then spoke about it so she'd know how to loosen it.
2.She probably transfigured it into existence of made a regular chessboard from the wizarding world bigger
I also like to think that the answer to number one was definitely marauders related and she loved the boys so much that even years later she still remembers specific details of their pranks such as which way the chandelier unscrews
"why does she know how to unscrew the chandelier peeves is trying to loosen" probably because she can see that he is trying to unscrew it the wrong way. or because most screws turn to the left to loosen.
Well the chessboard is transfigured but OMG THE CHANDELLIER
Fun fact: Emma Watson was actually supposed to slap him, but she got caught up in the moment and punched him instead and they kept it in the movie.
That's strange. They said that they instructed her to slap him in the documentary.
Milking Naghini... Well, now that we all know who she really is, makes it kinda...😅😅😅
Snape hates harry for beeing the chosen one and neville because he wasnt. Lily died because of that. I think thats the better explanation. Not that this is a good reason but feelings do not always match with logic.
Lily died because of Snape's snitching, too.
This adds up perfectly!
@@helenamirian908 its an human mechanism to search guilt in others.
Not a fan of this theory because the main reason seems to be that Snape sees a lot of James in Harry but Harry’s eyes remind him of Lily so Snape feels both the awful feelings he has of James and the awful feelings of loosing Lily
I had never considered that about Neville. That's an excellent catch.
#Justice4ChoHAWTLIPSChang
Also I love how in depth you get when I would have, and some of the rest of us if I have to guess would have used a shorter answer like “He loved Lily”
11:31 not only that, Dumbledore is also afraid that Voldemort might realise how close the two are and try and use it against them (the same way he used Harry's love for Sirius to set up a trap)
For the “why does Hermionie like like Ron” question, to quote Ron in the books “animal magnetism”
Ron makes it snow in both movies and books, but in the books he actually does it with his wand by a mistake, he points it up in the air, he doesnt't have his arms crossed like in the movie
and I think it's in a charms class, not in the great hall
25:02 considering Emma Watson literally is French, I think it's Emma Watson acting as Hermione putting on a mockingly bad French accent.
Imagine someone just literally turning over every rock three times all throughout the Forrest looking for it

I would pay for a spin off of the marauders and the heavily flawed protagonists, and see snapes falling out and downfall. I think it would add to all the complexity of their characters and make everyone pre second wizarding war very morally grey and less black and white
Snape says that Professor Umbridge used the last of the truth serum on Cho so whether she ratted them out in the movies is still up for debate.
I think in the scene where Umbridge and the inquisitorial squad crash the DA meeting, there is Cho at their side, implying that they went to the room of requirements directly after questioning her
Yes but what I meant was that if they used truth serum to force the answer out of Cho against her will is that her ratting them out?
related question: when they formed Dumbledore's Army, why didn't they make Harry (or Ron or Hermione idk) the Secret Keeper for anything DA-related, starting right from the fact that they existed at all?! that way nobody could've snitched to Umbridge, and also nobody outside of the DA would ever be able to understand what the DA coins did!
@@JuanMataCFC because thats extremely complex to do. even flitwick states that the fidelius charm is "immensely complex" to perform, and he is a master of charms, i doubt any da member couldve done it properly at that point.

I think Snape's patronus being a doe like Lily's vs James' patronus being a stag shows the difference in how they "care" for Lily. To me, it's always seemed like Snape's was a doe because he was OBSESSED with Lily rather than being in love with her.
@SAM STROMBERG okay you're entitled to your opinion. And I'm entitled to mine, which is that I don't believe that Snape was truly in love with Lily. I think he just had romanticized her and obsessed over her. And that's okay for us to think about that differently.
@SAM STROMBERG I also never said that a change in patronus HAD to signify an obsession. I just said I thought in this case that was what it signified. And it was Tonks' patronus that changed. Earlier in the novel that that happens in, the characters believed that her patronus changed to look like Sirius' animagus form because of her guilt over not killing Bellatrix before she killed Sirius, who was Tonks' family member (they didn't see the patronus clearly so it didn't become apparent until later that it actually changed because of Lupin). Wasn't saying that in a mean way btw. I just wanted to make sure everyone was on the same page. No hate sent your way 😊
