I really think they should’ve let Hagrid continue his magical studies after his name was cleared in Chamber

[@sarah7586]

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

[@riluna3695]

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)

[@joshuapirolo6263]

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.

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

I answered as he wanted to make sure he never heard his family members names so that he’d know they were safe

[@adde9506]

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".

[@Sway22]

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

[@ahsoka_tano_98]

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"

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.

[@bibliomania.express]

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.

[@riluna3695]

This is an absolutely amazing theory and I have instantly accepted it as my headcanon.

That's what I always thought too!

[@alisonremusandlil]

I’d definitely watch a SCB video on Crouch being Imperiused

[@satsujin-shathewitchkingof6185]

That makes sense! Unless there's something saying it on pottermore or something you're idea makes the most sense

[@frostyskeletons8950]

This was always my thought as well! Part of the scene is Crouch making the “final call.”

[@artloveranimation]

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.

[@deadfish3789]

He does it in the book too (though more out of distraction than emotional upheaval).

[@becwinsen2153]

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.

[@candylover1232]

That makes much more sense than hysteria, which is the only other explanation.

[@riluna3695]

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]

How do you intentionally perform a spell incorrectly tho

[@riluna3695]

@@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.

[@evelynrowenadawn]

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.

[@Boundwithflame23]

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.

[@RedDoom33]

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.

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.

[@adde9506]

@Aaron Blake 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.

[@obi501]

@Aaron Blake mate every teacher ever has lost their temper.

[@UmbraKrameri]

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.

[@eeeepsilon]

"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.

[@3SailorMartin]

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 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.

[@Keyboardje]

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.

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

[@Ami-zi6si]

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.

[@davidalan6701]

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.

[@Keyboardje]

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.

[@emmadow4880]

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.

[@erikamohrmann7986]

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

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".

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 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!

[@philipbutler6608]

Harry has the scar because Voldemort fulfilled the Prophecy by marking Harry as his Equal.

[@jar-jarsforceghost1352]

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

[@sarasamaletdin4574]

The scar is because the horcrux is inside of it.

[@AndrewJGaming]

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.

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

[@slothoverlord4388]

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.

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!

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.

@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.

[@MDev1997]

@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).
