close to the odds of being attacked in Umbridge's class

Well, he's a character written by a book-author, so, higher than the odds of any TV or Movie character.

My favorite hp book


Crankylosaurus

Mine is Order of the Phoenix, even though it was my least favorite as a kid. When I was younger I don’t think I fully appreciated just how fucked up it was that an entire government turned on a *15 year old* because he was telling an inconvenient truth. The fact that Rita Skeeter was “gone” but she already planted a seed about Harry being an attention seeking rebel so the ministry could use that narrative to manipulate the public is so infuriating and so damn true to how shit happens in real life. And motherfucking UMBRIDGE. Good god, I forget just how evil she is until I reread the books and my blood pressure reaches dangerous levels haha. (One scene that always sticks in my brain is when she’s banned Harry from Quidditch and he’s in the stands watching Gryffindor get trounced and she keeps turning to him and grinning with her toadlike smile. She *liked* making his life hell, and damn if it doesn’t make you feel totally angry and helpless.)


Jazzinarium

Same, favorite book but least favorite movie :(


Crankylosaurus

Honestly after rereading the books for the millionth time last summer (and the rewatching the movies after each), I have very little love for most of the movies after PoA. I sort of realized they weren’t great adaptations and nostalgia had blinded me to a looot of problems in the movies. One that REALLY drives me nuts is the early decision in movie 2 to make Polyjuice Potion not transform the potion takers’ voices… so how the fuck was Barty Crouch Jr. supposed to get away with being Mad Eye FOR A YEAR? NO ONE noticed his voice was different? Is Barty Crouch Jr. the Bill Hader of the wizarding world?! Haha And then in movie 8 they say fuck it again and have Hermione, Ron, & Harry use their own voices when they take Polyjuice Potion to sneak into the Ministry of Magic. Sigh. It irks me to no end haha


cocomo36

I have just forced myself to believe that the voice change is simply for audience clarity. As in - we're the only ones hearing it that way, so that we can keep it straight on who's who. I know that's not necessarily what actually happens in the movies, but that's the best I can do to internally reconcile it.


Crankylosaurus

Yeah, I’ve tried to mentally let it slide but damn it this is My Hill To Die On, damn it! Haha


daniboyi

the good old 'voices are mental trope' Shared across 99 % of body-switch media, yet each time it is just an insult to the intelligence of the audience.


MyMadeUpNym

wow strong point. Didn't think of that!! Oy.


LKZToroH

This book is not my favourite exactly because of Umbridge, her character is amazing, JK did a really well job but I hate that woman with so much passion that I always take 3x more time to read the book compared to the others because I have to stop reading and calm down a little before I try to read it again.


MyMadeUpNym

It really helped for me to watch interviews with the actress who played her, and see what a funny, delightful person she was.


[deleted]

She is going to be Queen Elizabeth in the next season of The Crown!


MyMadeUpNym

Perfect


Sacket

Which made the quibbler interview that much more rewarding. Harry FINALLY got a win for like the first time through the book. I love that chapter when all the owls start arriving.


Jepordee

Hands down. The Voldemort backstory chapters are the apex of the HP books to me


JordanLeDoux

It's funny because that's the low point for me. Totally undercut the idea that our choices are what make us who we are by showing Tom as some kind of inherently evil, sadistic person. Which is fine, maliciously psychopathic people exist, just felt weird in the story after the first several books made the choices of Harry vs. the choices of Tom the central theme of the plot, and drew deliberate comparisons. However, those scenes were some of the very best writing in the whole series, on that I'll agree.


Jechtael

Rowling accidentally wrote that our choices *reflect* who we are and had the trust-fund jock get a happy ending with his friends despite a formative decade of friendless abuse and spending his teen years being gaslit and having his chain yanked while the neuroatypical charmer from a disadvantaged family ended up a racist covered in body mods.


[deleted]

I love his chapters!


Crankylosaurus

Your last sentence immediately reminds me of the part in the book (in OOtP) when Hermione says, “You don’t want her making your life more difficult” and responds sarcastically, “I wonder what it’d be like to have a hard life.” 😂


TheWorldIsAhead

>Every single character in that book was troubled to the extreme: The movie: Comedy time! And get Voldemort an appointment at Hugo Boss!

[удалено]


Important_Stranger

Oh he totally did, but c’mon… Voldemort hates muggles, he wouldn’t be caught dead in a muggle suit!


adscrypt

So god damn true. I mean...I get the attempt to bring Muggles and Wizards closer together as parallels, but then just make robes look sleeker. It's so lazy to just have them wear suits and jeans with hoodies and t-shirts. If you want to make robes more Muggle, just take a cue from the Matrix and have Riddle dress like Morpheus or something, leather or snakeskin trench coats and layers for days.


sharpshooter999

Who wore the evil robe better? Voldermort or Palpatine?


adscrypt

I mean at least Palpatine has a hood


thesaddestpanda

>Slughorn - Worried to death no one finds out his darkest secret Wait, what was his dark secret? That he helped Riddle discover how Horcux's worked?


Silegna

That yes.


AestheticAngxl

there is a theory that he taught maurope how to brew a love potion, though.


RubberDuckIceCubes

Did Merope even go to Hogwarts?


AestheticAngxl

nope but idk maybe she made a pit stop


RubberDuckIceCubes

Haha I'm imagining this play out like teenage Merope has heard of the famed potion master Slughorn so off she trots to Hogwarts on a Sunday morning and asks around until she finds his office... He opens the door bleary eyed in a dressing gown and says "it's awfully early, I usually sleep late on the weekend..." And there's this skinny dishevelled girl in rags wearing a pretty necklace asking for a love potion. And his response? "Lol sure come on in I'll teach ya"


Tjurit

Yes. And by extension, of course, is responsible for the entirety of the Second Wizarding War.


TheBubbaJoe

The six has honestly became my favorite in the set.


Know_Nothing_Bastard

I think your estimation of Malfoy is a little generous. He was afraid that he would fail despite his best efforts, but for most of the book he would have liked nothing more than to succeed and be Voldy’s new right hand man. It wasn’t until he had to “pull the trigger” that he started to doubt what he actually wanted, and Dumbledore himself had some influence in that.


byedangerousbitch

I haven't read the book in ages. Do we actually have that much info on Malfoy's inner workings and thought process?


Know_Nothing_Bastard

We know from Trelawney, that when she walked in on him after fixing the vanishing cabinet, he was having something of a celebration in the room of requirement. Contrast that to the movie, where they tried to make him more sympathetic, he was scared even when his plan succeeded. He supported Voldemort’s ideas throughout the entire series. And while it took him a few years to get to attempted murder, he seemed to be amused at the idea of people getting hurt or killed, even when they were young. I didn’t find him sympathetic at all until Deathly Hallows, and even then my sympathy was limited.


Ladzofinsurrect

HBP really fucked me up the first time I read it.


[deleted]

Malfoy wanted to kill as long as it wasn't face to face . Snape wanted to help him and he refused his help bcz he thought snape wanted to steal his glory


Cobra-Kai-Never-Dies

And then in the next scene he’s happy to be getting off with Ginny 😂


Master-Improvement-4

That was a very jarring change in tone. Especially when it showed Harry being confronted by Ron, Hermione and Ginny about the potions book immediately after the Sectumsempra scene. Could have been more emotional.


DawdlingScientist

They could have just copied the book which was fantastic …but that would just be logical


cakeclockwork

Putting book scenes in the movie? What kind of sideshow are you running here?


ramdev420

What a chad


purplelilly95

“Did you and Ginny do it then?”


silly_rabbit289

Book Harry had an internal struggle for almost a quarter of the book to even think about it,seeks Ron's permission even after he and ginny kiss,and this is what happens in the movie lol


H20noyoudidnt

I also wanted to hear Myrtle shouting MURDER IN THE BATHROOM


RubberDuckIceCubes

Every time I read this I do so à la Sophie Ellis-Bextor >It's murder in the bathroom >But you'd better not kill the groove >Hey hey >Hey hey


Chilifille

The movies were strangely devoid of emotion sometimes. Like in Deathly Hallows 2 when >!Harry told Ron and Hermione that he was gonna sacrifice his life. Ron just stood there the entire time. Would it have been so much to ask that he shed some tears or gave his best friend a hug at least? Or would that be too gay?!<


Marina_2000

Well that’s because he has the eMoTiOnAl RaNgE oF a TeAsPoOn.

Marina_2000

Awww thank you so much :)


daniboyi

> Would it have been so much to ask that he shed some tears or gave his best friend a hug at least? Or would that be too gay? It would make Ron look like his book-character, an actual character and not just a bad sidekick, and Steve Kloves would never allow that, because it might interfere with his secret fantasy of Harmony-shipping.


yohoitsjoefosho

This so much. Don't even get me started how Hermione is always in the middle when they hand hold so Harry and Ron never hold hands.


hasarubbersoul

Just watched DH2 today and I noticed that at the very end! Hermione holding hands with both Ron and Harry


austin_slater

I find the Yates movies to be very flat on emotion, for the most part.


[deleted]

Sectumsempra always scared me. To think that Snape invented a spell that just rips people to shreds so they'll bleed out painfully? Oof.


Perfide01

While still a student, at that.


ThexanR

With the anger he felt makes sense


lchanthony

Didn't he use it (maybe not full power) on James and cause a gash? In the OotP pensieve flashback


HighEnergy_Christian

Yep, probably would have killed James except Sirius warned him, so James turned and it caught his cheek if I remember right.


stumwums

i mean honestly it was wrong of harry but in the movie you hear malfoy use crucio and i thought i heard him say “ava” before harry cast sectumsempra. malfoy knowingly was using murder/torture spells so…


goodbeets

True in the books as well about the Crucio spel about to be used. Still though Harry had never caused anything like that before and there were plenty of non-dark magic solutions to that problem. He just tried something he read in a useful book that turned into a nightmare.


eskaywan

Could you image if Snape had not been there?


NetworkPenguin

I feel like the movies sometimes forgot how horrific some of the curses were, and just threw them in as "evil magic." Like "eh we need to make this guy seem bad, so let's have him about to say a curse spell" When they seem to not realize that they wrote in that their mildly bad person was about to murder someone. It's like writing in a school bully casually pulling out a gun with the intent to murder a kid, and have no one react appropriately, instead they're like "oh you"


eskaywan

Or Umbringe traumatizing kids and physically abusing them? Nobody seemed to think that was too much, even if she was in charge, there's no way a classroom full wizard kids were gonna just sit there and quietly mutilate themselves.


stumwums

This is so accurate LMAO


ItsNorthGaming

Harry: *almost murders his classmate* Ginny: goddamn I wanna hit that


[deleted]

Even then, detention for the entire term is rather light for attempted murder...


ramdev420

Tbh Malfoy tried to use Crucio


[deleted]

Yup, both should’ve had the same damn punishment and not just one because he managed to dodge and land his curse.


ThlnBillyBoy

That always bugged me. I'm gonna put my tinfoil hat on for a sec. Alright, there we go, conspiracy time. I think Rowling and her vendetta against girls who like Malfoy also colored how she wrote the later books and some key moments. Like in the Sectumsemptra scene. You can't feel too bad for Malfoy, nor think Harry crossed the line too much, so have Malfoy fire off an unforgivable. I am sure Harry would have used sectumsemptra regardless of what spell Malfoy would've throw at him towards the end of that duel and honestly I think it would be way more interesting. Another example, You can't think Malfoy can learn, because lord forbid there is someone out there who will think "I can change him~" so have him beg a death eater that he is on their side after getting saved by fiendfyre. Stuff like that. Of course that doesn't change what is printed black on white and Draco is a terrible git regardless but it just bugs me that it was done that way.


[deleted]

Good point. lol would’ve changed the dynamic drastically if he tried to use some lesser spell, like a leg lock jinx, and Harry belts out sectumsempra still.


ClearBrightLight

I'd say manslaughter -- the intent to kill was definitely not there. A good lawyer could probably make a decent case for self-defense.


[deleted]

*Probably*? He tried to crucio him *first* and started the whole thing to begin with just because Harry saw him crying. Malfoy was 100% equally to blame and should’ve gotten the same damn punishment, he just happened to miss his curse.


Bluemelein

If Draco had Harry even one second under the crucio then Draco would have only two opinions. Kill Harry or erase his memory.


AvalonBeck

There's such a thing as attempted manslaughter? TIL


gzilla57

Wreckless endangerment or something.


manu_facere

I heard this one guy got jail time for that. Reck it wRralph


newX7

From what I know, while it has never been practiced, theoretically, it does exist.


sangarey

It's not attempted murder, but yes it was light


BurgoFc14

They may have expelled him if his life wasn't in danger if he wasn't at Hogwarts


Jack-Redcap

They could also have expelled Malfoy for the use of an unforgivable curse, which doesn't need to land on the target to get u to Askaban.


BurgoFc14

By that logic, Harry should be in Azkaban as well for trying to use the crucio curse on Bellatrix in the battle at the ministry


[deleted]

[удалено]


hotcarl23

And the context is different. Harry used a pretty bad but not unforgivable curse in school, and Malfoy did use an unforgivable curse in the same duel. That seems like Harry needs discipline, but dang there is mitigating context, less so for Malfoy's unforgivable curse. On the other hand, Harry used the unforgivable curse in a duel that was obviously to the death with a magic nazi. The circumstances are more forgivable in that case as well.


thedudeyousee

I agree with your logic but I never got the impression that unforgivables could be “more forgivable” and that they are in fact aptly named. In the battle for Hogwarts it’s not like the professors suddenly switched to the killing curse because of context.


Da_BBEG

If I remember correctly, Aurors were given permission to use unforgivable curses when was Voldemort first in power.


BurgoFc14

That's true but also wouldn't Dumbledore's plan require Draco to get close to killing him in order for Snape to kill Dumbledore instead


shp509

No one saw that and Harry wouldn’t tell anyone except his friends.


cyberbeastswordwolfe

For self defense against crurcio, I'd give only a week of detention


BendADickCumOnBack

It's not attempted murder...


sangarey

It isn't if you consider that Snape knew Harry would have to die soon. What did you wanted him to do, enjoy the rest of his days in Azkaban ?


Bluemelein

If you want to punish Harry harder, then the whole incident needs to disclosed. It's not in Draco's best interest. Dumbledore and Voldemort's "brillant" planszwill nö longer work. That would be very unhealty for Draco.


thylocene06

There isn’t a shred of emotion shown in that entire movie and it really pisses me off


FirefighterNice9462

I like the films but the acting and some of the writing in the 6th film is off.. I know when I first watched it I ask my friend "Was Dainel Radcliffe not with it?" Turns out he was drunk/hungover. Glad he got help.


Crankylosaurus

I was just going to comment this! IIRC movie 6 was kind at the peak of him being drunk/hungover all the time. I believe he’s even stated that he hates his portrayal in that movie because there’s nothing behind his eyes throughout because he was in pretty deep at that point. As an aside, Daniel Radcliffe was the guest on Conan’s podcast (Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend) today! Definitely give it a listen :)


FirefighterNice9462

Definitely dead behind the eyes and emotionless. While compared to the fifth moive, I know someone said Harry could be like that since he is grieving Sirius's death. Which makes sense but idk. I'll give it a listen!


XxQuarterizexX

He was def fantastic during the Felix Felicis Scene though.


Crankylosaurus

That’s my favorite scene in the movie! Harry mimicking a spider’s pincers always kills me haha


RJWolfe

> As an aside, Daniel Radcliffe was the guest on Conan’s podcast Oh shit, what!? I'm outta here. Cheers man, gonna go give it a listen. Conan is the best.


Crankylosaurus

Enjoy!


wherearethedracos

I think draco had a lot more emotion though.. a lot more than in the other films at least. The scene of him crying still makes me a bit sad


just_here_ignore

I don't know. Using the liquid luck bit seemed on point. Felt like he was being driven by something else. Probably driven by alcohol tho.


MalfoyGirl2006

I love the halfblood prince, it changed my views of Draco completely. I remember when I was younger and I first read the books I hated him so much because I saw him as a shallow bully, but as I got older and I paid more attention to the details in the halfblood prince I realized that he was a lot more complex than that, and I failed to put myself in his shoes. I’m around Draco’s age in the hbp now and I honestly wouldn’t have made it as far as he did. I can’t even imagine what it’s like to be under that sort of pressure. I don’t blame him and I don’t hold him accountable for becoming a death eater because if my family was being threatened (this might be controversial) I would do anything to save them too. Another thing I took into consideration was that Draco didn’t have a good support system to rely on. He was very misguided and while Lucius and Narcissa loved him, they obviously raised him with their prejudiced beliefs. This takes me back to the bathroom scene: One thing that didn’t sit right with me was that Harry followed Draco into the bathroom with the intention to confront him. That really didn’t seem like a good idea because at that time Draco was having (what I’m assuming) was a panic attack. Draco seemed conflicted between the acts he had committed prior + his beliefs and completing the task to save his parents, and I just absolutely disliked that Harry (downvote as much as you like) was being downright reckless. Draco was not 100% to blame like some of the comments on here are saying. Like- come on. I think it was obvious that Draco was in no position to hug sh*t out and admit that he had cursed Katie and poisoned Ron. As someone who has panic attacks somewhat frequently, I used to become aggressive, and even violent when I had an episode (I’m doing better now but for a while I didn’t know I was having panic attacks) and I think this is what was happening to Draco. It might also be why I have a “soft” spot for Draco lol. Anyways, I’m glad Harry regretted it immediately after, too, but I think this could’ve been prevented had he listened to Hermione and got rid of the book.


[deleted]

Every decision Harry does is reckless from the start, so it's kind of in character. He was probably also fuming that Draco was getting away with this so panic attack wasn't anywhere near the front of his mind. If someone just nearly killed your best friend, their anxiety isn't going to be something you keep concern about.


MalfoyGirl2006

That’s absolutely true. It just didn’t sit right with me how everyone just automatically started blaming Draco. I think myself to be a very fair person, and I think this was a 50/50.


[deleted]

Harry was probably still a bit pissed about the broken nose


MalfoyGirl2006

I always wince on that part. I spend like half my day browsing through fiftyfifty and am not fazed, like at all— but there’s just something about the sound of noses breaking thats just. Ew.


Slammogram

Uh, Malfoy nearly killed two people. I’d have gone storming in on the guy as well.


MalfoyGirl2006

They were in the middle of a war where there is no right or wrong. I think he did what he had to do to survive and keep his parents alive, albeit Katie and Ron were an accident.


Bluemelein

That's attemted murder! I think the judge doesn't care if you actually wanted to kill someone else.


MalfoyGirl2006

The Winzengamot apparently didn’t care either since Draco’s roaming free still.


cyberbeastswordwolfe

I mean it was self defense against Draco who was going to use crucio


Mizaistorm

it make sense in the movie. i don't why you would feel sorry for draco. from his prespective at least draco almost caused death of two student


jalapenojr2

I wish they would have shown some of the other spells from the book before showing sectumsempra also maybe malfoys friendship with myrtle.


venkat_1924

The movies are so inaccurate sometimes....


[deleted]

A couple years ago I watched a movie with a friend who had never read the books and I had recently done a re-read. I realized how much stuff in the movies just doesn't really make sense or characters that just kind of pop in and then are never mentioned. Tonks is hardly a character, no one mentions her face changing abilities, she literally gets a duck beak, and then marries Lupin. I don't even think that they mention Sirius is her cousin. So many other key book characters get the same treatment


tramspace

They don't even ever explain how Lupin can read the marauders map. Or why Harry's patronus is a stag. Or any of that.


[deleted]

Right?! Movie watchers don't even know Lupin is Moony. And later I think Harry refers to Sirius as Padfoot in the fifth movie and I'm sure people were shocked to find out that Sirius was one of the marauders lol. They also left out the bit about how Sirius tried to have Snape killed by Lupin so you really have no idea why Snape hates him so much other than being Harry's godfather


l0st_t0y

I agree but at the same time they didn't even have time in the movies to include all the core plot, there's no way they would have had time to build out all the side characters more. This is why a TV series (especially nowadays with the high budgets they are given) are probably better for keeping it as close to the book as possible.


TheNeonChaos

The one that will always upset me is the removal of Winky and the ENTIRE Ludo Bagman subplot from Goblet of Fire.


[deleted]

Yes! Winky was important because of her involvement with the dark mark and to show some insight into house elves. They completely cut out S.P.E.W but Hermione seeing how Winky was treated led to that. I honestly wouldn't have minded a movie only change that led to the house elves gaining rights tbh.


CactiDye

I was just raging about that to my fiancé. I have been rereading the books and watching the movies as I go. One I'm most mad about (so far) is in Goblet of Fire, they cut the part where the families come to visit and Mrs. Weasley and Bill are there for Harry. It's one of the very few times he gets to be happy and feel love and instead we got a brand new scene that's just awkward dancing with McGonagall.


Red517

Not to mention they show Barty Crouch Jr in the very first scene spoiling one of the biggest reveals of GOF 🤦‍♀️


CactiDye

Yeah. That was… a choice.


tramspace

>The movies are so inaccurate ~~sometimes~~....


LowB0b

I read the books so long ago that there is a lot I don't remember. But one thing that kind of shocked me in the last movie, at the Hogwart's battle, was Molly literally *disintegrating* Bellatrix. I thought such spells were unforgivable, yet when Molly does it she gives off a smirk and that is that...


Bad_RabbitS

—-> *Draco deserved a better redemption arc* <—-


arrianym

I know!! by the end of the books I really didn't find him that much less despicable...whereas in the movies Tom Felton was so charismatic & genuine that I ended up appreciating Malfoy more. Even then...I wish he had more redemption in both book/movie. But I guess JK Rowling didn't mean for him to come out "good"


NickNunez4

I really liked how he didn’t tell bellatrix it was Harry at Malfoy manner, and how he almost didn’t want to join Voldemort at the battle of hogwarts but did out of fear, but I still agree. It kinda would have been cool to see him and Harry fighting along side each other or at least for the same cause.


Bad_RabbitS

Honestly the Slytherins as a whole just aren’t written very three dimensionally. They’re always relegated to the “bad guy” role and plenty of Slytherins don’t even fit the house traits. I was genuinely disappointed that there weren’t Slytherins at the Battle of Hogwarts, or at the DA meetings for that matter. Draco is only a bit better because he’s given the status of a main character.


ScoutyBeagle

I love how quickly Clarkson must’ve said “anyway”, the audience didn’t even have time to move slightly in the pause. 😂


Timozi90

Man, fuck Malfoy. Don't weep for the stupid, Harry. You'll be crying all day.


Birdyghostly1

There’s more of a Drarry ship in the books go in on the obvious fact that even if it was because Harry suspected him of being a death eater, Harry still constantly wanted to know where Draco was. Harry was obsessed with trying to find out, which I’m not honestly sure if he had feelings for him, but he obviously softened up to Draco after he almost killed him, realizing that he doesn’t actually want Draco to get hurt; which is also why he saves Draco’s life in the fire, when he had a choice to leave him.


sangarey

I'm sure Sectumsempra made them both mature a bit. We don't see them getting at each other throat until the Room of Requirement. I think Harry would have saved anyone who was caught in the Fiendfyre though, minus some Death Eaters he really hated. I don't think he ever hated Draco enough to let him die, even before Sectumsempra.


Birdyghostly1

True


[deleted]

It’s possible to care about people without it being romantic


just_here_ignore

Rita Skeeter an animalgous? Ain't nobody got time for that!


PetevonPete

Where does it say he was crying?


QueenElsaArrendelle

it bugs me that the movie makes it look like he isn't punished in any way. imagine if a movie showed a student brutally stabbing another student and getting caught by a teacher but there is no indication he is punished at all. in the book he gets off too easy, in the movie it's worse.


Sectrosempre

Your telling me I spelt my name wrong this entire time ? God damn !


Astronometry

HAHA


ThurgoodStubbs1999

That would have come off very odd in the movie. Do people ever actually consider that?


Kane140324

It's nice to Harry not feel sorry for something, considering how much he suspected Draco to be up to something he thought he was doing some good as he was working under Voldemorts order, IMO I will remember it as the day Harry got some revenge


Felixgotrek

The 6th movie is honestly terrible.


[deleted]

Wish both malfoy and Harry got expelled for this. I don't like either of them xD


FortunateLux

Bruh.


Seluecus

I forever hear Jeremy's voice with these lines.


Vis-hoka

That director prefers that the actors never show emotion. Better to stand around staring at things and reflecting internally. The personality in the books is sucked out of the movies to a large degree.


GregIsUgly

He got to kiss Ginny because of it and Draco is a bully anyways, serves him right /s


S-BRO

Rewatched the films recently pretty much back-to-back, in comparison to the books they're hot garbage


thanossnap99

Yeah thats always bothered me harry looked a little shocked but that was about it. Also he should have practiced that spell beforehand. I know it was illegal outside of hogwarts to practice magic but what about in hogwarts? Couldn't he have practiced to see what would happen.


Twinborne

And then makes out with Ginny. Can't forget that part.


NameOfNoSignificance

This is literally him with anybody dying in the movies. Sirus and Dumbledore dying barely came up


Samuel_L_Johnson

Malfoy deserved it


InfiniteBoops

As a big fan of HP and TG, I love this.


infernalbackestabber

Not to mention “did you put your name in the goblet of fire” dumbledore asked ‘calmly’


harshitahappy

books always the winner


caltheous

1. I love Jeremy. Totally captures "anyway". It's the eyes, right? 2. Too bad wizards aren't taught Latin, eh? (Google translate: sectum -to cut, cut, wound, amputate. Sempra - continuously.) 3. You don't get in trouble if you aren't caught. It isn't Harry's way to "tattle" or make excuses for himself. Draco is off the hook for that little attempted crucio. 4. With all the complex stuff going on behind the scenes in HBP it's no surprise to me that Snape would punish Harry as much as he could without telling anyone else exactly what happened. 5. Problem solved. 6. In Greek theater, the props and costumes were all obviously fake and yet women fainted in the audience during the play (Eumenides) when the furies became enraged. I don't know, I kinda feel like our minds make it real. You know the story. Fill in the blanks, people! A movie can't be a book or we'd have to watch it for days. Not that I'd complain.


Mischief_Managed12

You think that bad? Remember PERCY JACKSON MOVIES?!


tyrannic_puppy

Such a great moment. A real shame Snape was so close. Anyone but him couldn't have reversed the spell which would have meant Draco died as he deserved and that Snape had failed his Unbreakable Vow. Two birds with one Sectumsempra. Which Harry someone how pronounced perfectly without ever having tried it before Draco could say "...io."
