    It is a fate worse than death. The fact that they may never recover is the sad reality.
    Great job as always.

      I totally agree. In fact, the scene in book 5 where Harry sees Neville visiting his parents at St. Mungo's had me emotional when I first read it. Neville is a great character, and a true hero.

      One part I find sad is when Neville looks at Harry Ron and Hermione as if he thinks they're going to laugh at his parents. "Neville looked at them as though daring them to laugh but Harry didn't think he'd found anything less funny in his life." And that makes Snape even more of a prick for bullying Neville for not being the child that Voldemort targeted which is sick. He was fine with the idea of Frank, Alice and Neville dying just as he was with James and Harry dying as long as Lily lived and he could have her to himself. Snape's a great character but his fangirls who insist he's this great hero and brave man really get on my nerves. As do the people who think he's morally ambiguous and neither good nor evil. He was a bad guy who happened to help the good guys because Voldemort killed his obsession. He did not love Lily. He lusted after her. Only liking her looks and wanting to have sex with her isn't love. It's lust. If he really loved her he wouldn't have hung around with dark magic using bullies who did far worse than the Marauders ever did to him. Nor would have joined or even wanted to join the Death Eaters who wanted to kill her and all Muggleborns like her. Being OK with Voldemort killing Lily's husband and son as long as he didn't kill her indicates more obsession than love.

But even though I may disagree with what you think I understand why you think it and I stand by your right to think it have an awesome day alwayband stay safe please.

    The Longbottom's definitely did suffer a fate worse than death. To be alive but not recognize your family, your only son, and tell him simply you love him. Man that crushes my heart. I'm glad Neville was able to live up to his family's name. He struggled at the beginning because he had his dad's wand, but he had to become his own person and then he he could step into his dad's shoes. I know his parents would've been extremely proud of him. Gryffindor Pride.🦁⚡🤘

      And also why Barty Crouch Jr getting the Dementor's Kiss was wholly deserved because he was part of the group that tortured the Longbottoms. Him, Bellatrix and the others inflicted a fate worse than death on Frank and Alice so that was what Barty got when the Dementor sucked out his soul and left him as an empty shell.

  • @CareyHAuthor
    @CareyHAuthor 6 років тому +598

    The torture the Longbottoms endured was worse than death. And we all know that particular group of Death Eaters didn't know the meaning of humane. I'm pretty sure Bellatrix got some sick pleasure out of it for sure. But, while in St. Mungos, they were taken care of and Neville could visit them so I don't know if it would have been better if they had died. I don't think he would have turned out the same. He probably would have just grieved and remained the quiet boy he was in the beginning. But, his visits eventually became motivation once Voldemort returned and released Bellatrix and the Lestrange brothers. He could visualize them there and probably figured they would repeat the torment on someone else if need be if they weren't stopped.

      @CareyHAuthor 6 років тому +16

      Definitely. Voldemort didn't care. He was eliminating threats to his power. Didn't matter if they were barely over a year old. Trelawney's prophecy said this threat would be marked as his equal. In voldemort's mind, he was thinking rival dark lord. Many of his followers did after he was defeated. One theory is that Mr. Malfoy encouraged Draco to befriend Harry in case that was true. Until they realized how kind hearted he actually was.

    @tokkia1384 6 років тому +153

    Voldemort would certainly have killed the Longbottoms as to him, nothing is worse than death. That’s kind of why the death eaters are scarier than their boss in a way. Voldemort was evil, but he was chasing after a certain goal of wizard dominance and his own immortality, not necessarily satisfying some kind of sadistic urge. Once he couldn’t obtain whatever he wanted from someone, he’d just kill them - he wouldn’t waste his time designing intricate methods of torture just for the pleasure of it, because he didn’t really derive pleasure, or any feeling from other people’s emotions - everything and everyone was a means to an end, disposable (even the death eaters, though they were in denial about this). But Voldemort attracted people who wanted an outlet for their own violent, psychopathic, sadistic tendencies, like Bellatrix. So these followers are a lot more terrifying. If you get caught by Voldemort you at least know you’ll die pretty quickly, but with the death eaters? Who knows what’s in store.

      It had to be Molly that killed Bellatrix...Molly who was basically the Mother of The Order during the second Wizarding War. Her killing Bellatrix was a very symbolic way to avenge not just the Weasleys but also the Potters, Longbottoms, Lupins, Sirius, and so so so many others. She - as mothers often do - bore the weight of so many grieving children and her killing Bellatrix, an exceptionally powerful witch made infinitely more dangerous by her bloodthirst and cruelty, was the equivalent of a mother lifting a car off her child but so much more.

      They likely were screaming so loudly and for so long that their brains could no longer process what they were experiencing, and just shut down. It wasn't until then that the torture stopped... truly sickening. Not only that, the 4 death eaters watched Frank experience this, and then saw fit to put Alice through the same thing.

    ...In a way, they did 'kill' the Longbottoms. Torturing someone so brutally that they completely loose their mind and forget everything, their friends and loved ones...The people called Frank and Alice Longbottom were destroyed, leaving behind strangers who still wear their faces. So, in a way, they are dead, and its made all the more painful, because the memories that made them who they were are never coming back, but their faces remain, showing their loved ones two people they want to see again so badly, but will never be able to. At least in death, one can sooner or later come to accept what happened and move on. Moving on is much harder when you can see your loved one, but are forever parted from them.

    • @nishitdoshi995
      @nishitdoshi995 2 роки тому +1

      The good thing about death is that Harry’s parents had their souls liberated by being killed. Voldemort’s soul never got liberated because of the fact he made horcrux. Neville’s parents were neither alive nor were their souls liberated. This will continue to torment Neville for his entire life, every time he sees them he remembers that. This is indeed worse than Death.

    What was done to Frank and Alice Longbottom is beyond words and by extension Neville also suffered the aftershocks of that tragedy. Harry and many others who lost loved ones during the first war suffered a different kind of grief. They suffered a closed grief. It is done, it is over and speaking from the standpoint of trauma, that closure is one of the first steps towards healing. For Frank, Alice, and yes, Neville too the nightmare never ended. Imagine feeling like you should know someone, knowingnthey are important...but never being able to grasp why? The pain may have stopped, but the nightmare never ended. And that is absolutely a fate worse than death.
    Just a side note, I see a lot of people talking about Bellatrixs death and how Neville should have been the one to kill her...I disagree. Molly killing Bellatrix was very appropriate and very necessary. She was essentially the Mother of the Order during the second Wizarding War. She wiped the tears and bore the grief of so so so many traumatized and broken children. Everyone knew Molly Weasley and she was famous for being kind of the quintessential mother. I don't think she would have turned any child away and her being the one to end Bellatrix was very symbolicked. Molly stood there as a mother, an auntie, a sister, a friend. She became the symbolic face of all Bellatrixs victims and the avenger of all those left to grieve. Bellatrixs death had to be at the hands of Molly Weasley...

  • @kwa7276
    @kwa7276 6 років тому +8

    The torture of the Longbottom was worse than death in multiple ways. First, Neville. Neville had to endure the pain of meeting and seeing his parents without them really being there. He never got to experience their love and affection in the way that he should have been able to. Second, them. Frank was perhaps the luckier of the two being tortured into insanity first, as Alice had to watch him be tortured and then experience the torture herself and feeling that pain doubly as she realized what they put Frank through. Third, their lives. The truly most inhumane part of this is that they lost the it sanity so early in their lives that some of even the most basic milestones in a person’s life were ripped away from them and they never got to experience their son growing up. And lastly, the Deatheaters. The Deatheaters who did this egregious crime were not properly punished. They were locked away in Azkaban, yes, but that can’t possibly have been punishing enough for they were just as bad when they broke out. If I were the one sentencing them, their punishment for this, and all their other crimes, would be death, and preferably not a quick or painless one. Such a merciless and disgusting human being deserves no mercy. And while some may say that death is a mercy, would you rather they be left to break free of their punishment and do the same to countless more innocent people?

When I found out the complete story about Neville and the longbuttoms it broke my heart and I always hoped that they would come back to them self! What a moment that would have been. But the whole story got me into Harry Potter world and I knew Neville would be a hero and get what he deserved in the end some glory :)

    Worse than death? Maybe not for the Longbottoms themselves they are, for a lack of a better term, blissfully ignorant about their situation. However, knowing that your parents are still alive, being able to see them but, them not knowing you and not beinig able to look after themselves I feel would be more heart wrenching than visiting a grave site.

    Also, I believe that Rodolphus Lestrange prefers psychological torture to physical one, or more exactly that he takes pleasure in psychologically breaking someone. In the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, he used a curse to mess up Ron's head instead of any other curse.
    I believe the Death Eaters should have killed them instead of making them suffer such a fate.

  • @katyboebaty9193

    I wanted to cry. But I made my own Theory about what to happen Neville’s parents. My theory is that Frank was on his way home when he was attacked right outside his house and Alice was putting Neville down for a nap when she hears a loud bang and scream so she goes to check it out when she gets down stairs she sees her husband being tortured. Alice runs to help him but Bellatrix attacks her and she shouts tell us where our master is both of you. But Neville’s parents don’t give in then they snap and The Ministry Of Magic show up and arrestees the three death eaters they see what did they too Alice and Frank. That’s my theory on what happened to Neville’s parents.

    @gabrielle3960 4 роки тому +1

    This made me cry. You once said that these stories remind us that the Harry Potter series, at its heart, is simply a very sad story. I still can’t get over when they find out Neville saved every single gum wrapper. I don’t think they would have been better off dead though. Insanity can kind of numb the brain to a lot of suffering, and they still got to see and loved him very much. Thanks to him, I think they lived the best lives they could after what happened. And they meant the world to him, no matter if they remembered he was their son. That’s important too.

  • @ciaranbyrne278

  • @We3Mosses

    Yes. And yes. It is worse than death. They didn't even kill them after they became incapacitated. Bellatrix is one of the most cruel Dark Wizards/Witches EVER. And something that just crossed my mind while typing this is that one of the perpetrators (Barty Crouch Junior) also suffered a fate worse than death later on.

    I really couldn't think which it is worse! Great video btw! If I lose my parents at early age & keep hearing stories about them, I would feel lost but trying to find identity, like wondering about their stories. But me being a youngest daughter, I am loved by my living parents & if they died today, I would weep forever. But anyway, as for Harry, I know he was longed for parents' presence for love & nurturing but he has family & friends who were always there for him. As for Neville, man, him knowing about his parents' stories & how they lived, it gotta be desperate. Seeing his parents on specific days while at the hospital & not knowing who is Neville is very sad, they are there. Both of Harry & Neville need their parents words or gestures. Like Harry's mom said, we are very proud of you or Neville's mom kept giving him a candy wrappers. I really dont know which it worse but I would say, both but at least they know their parents' stories. ❤❤

She was one of the only Blacks that was not Evil, Sieroius being the other. Her husband, daughter, cousin and son in law were all killed leaving her alone with her infant grandson. The story does not say but I would hope Harry and Ginny would have embraced her as a member of their extended family and she would have some happiness.

    This story brought me to tears. I love this channel because it just makes the characters more real everyday; like they really existed which is why it was so emotional.
    I think what happened to them was worse than death; the idea that they're lost in their own minds unable to make clear their feelings is very sad. I believe somewhere deep inside they are aware of things, but their minds were so damaged that conveying anything is too difficult.
    I do wish Rowling would have added some semblance of hope at the end of the series; not a complete turn around, but a glimmer of hope that they would have gotten better. More for Neville than the fans😢

    It is a fate worse than death not only for them but for Neville as well. I lost my father when I was 11, it was extremely painful.

Great video I’ve been waiting for this video Neville is one of my favourite characters in the series 💛💚❤️💙

  • @amanekabbaj

    Of course being an empty shell is a lot worse especially for friends and family. Accepting death like Harry does is a lot easier than what Neville goes through. It’s a bit like the second brother, he couldn’t live with his ghost wife so he chose to join her in death. This makes Neville and Augusta much stronger people to not give in.
    Also the drawing of him giving the sword to his parents brought tears to my eyes.

    @samuellawrencesbookclub8250 6 років тому +3

    Killing the Longbottoms would have been more humane, and smarter on the Death-Eaters' part. More humane as the damage on them was serious, they had lost their minds, and - because of this - they had no quality of life. Smarter, from the Death-Eaters perspective, as, by eliminating them permanently, killing them would eliminate any possibility of recovery.
    In Harry Potter, it is canonical that no magic can raise the dead, but - as far as Mrs and Mr Longbottom's madness is concerned - we only know that no spells can restore their minds currently. Now, this doesn't mean that its likely that on some average Tuesday afternoon a young healer will realise how to cure them and do so by casting Obliviate until they have forgotten their madness and their torture, but it is possible that a cure might come along - magic is like muggle science, it is forever changing and moving forward.
    And the Death-Eaters wouldn't want to risk the possibility of the Longbottom's recovering and being restored to their full powers. Before their madness, Frank and Alice were formidable aurors - which makes them a threat to the Death-Eaters. This, plus the fact that - if they were ever restored - they would have a deep resentment against the people who stole; their sanity, nearly twenty years of their lives, and the opportunity to raise their son. This is a scary combination, and - for all the Death-Eaters know - it might lead the Longbottoms to go vigilante and start picking them off one by one.
    Is any of this likely, no. It is not likely that the Longbottoms could be cured, the were damaged by powerful dark magic and - despite a very long stay at St. Mungo's - no remedy has been successful. Nor is it likely that Frank and Alice Longbottom, as moral people, would start a crusade against the Death-Eaters. But, both are possible within the confines of what we know about human nature and the magic of the Wizarding world, And I imagine that the Death-Eaters, who have no qualms about killing and who's master's paranoia had him try to kill a baby because there was a chance that he'd grow up to vanquish him, would be inclined to eliminate the possibility of the Longbottoms' recovery. I also think that, because the Death-Eaters lack the Longbottoms' morality, they would think it probable that - if the Longbottoms recovered - the Longbottoms would go on a Death-Eater killing spree.

    I think Rowling just made a point here that some things are just too evil to be able to be reversed, such as that too much damage done by the cruciatus curse will cause irreversable harm to the victim. Having characters being able to recover from that would be the same as saying that this curse wasn't as bad as it first sounded and that would mean that the events in the story would be weakened, causing the plot to be weakened as a result. And the plot is the most important thing in the story itself after all, even moreso than the characters walking within.
    As much as I dislike it to say, I agreed with Rowling fulheartidly on the horrible fate that she had given even to good characters such as Snape and in this case to the Longbottom's. But I still dislike it.
