Not that he could have done much if anything since he didn''t have his physical form and his ability to interact with the physical world was severely limited and requiring external help in order to do so. Quirrell was gone and so was the Philosophers Stone, His diary destroyed so by PoA he had already exhausted most of his available options until Wormtail found him the following summer

[@xraccooonx]

@@vikkran401 Exactly. To add to that as well, Voldemort didn't even know the diary had been destroyed until after he was reborn and found out Lucius no longer had it. Voldemort says that after the events of the Philosopher's Stone he had pretty much given up until Wormtail found him.

[@fleeceblanket9515]

So, JK Rowling has admitted that she very strongly considered killing off Ron in book 4. My personal theory, and this is a little tinfoil hatty, is that in her original draft, Ron was going to be selected to be the Hogwarts champion, then when Harry's name comes out of the goblet as well, that's why Ron loses his shit at Harry. It's a much stronger motivation, because after all these years, Ron finally has a chance at glory, and Harry has to swoop in and steal the spotlight yet again. Then they slowly make up over the course of the book, and at the climax, it's Harry and Ron who seize the cup together as a symbol of their renewed friendship... Then BAM. Graveyard. Ron is fucking ICED. Voldemort's back. And this catapults us into the darker, more adult section of the series. However, JK probably didn't want to put her readers through that shit, so she took a minor character from book 3 and elevated him to main character status and sacrificed him instead, and that's why Cedric feels so underwritten and out of place, and also why Ron's sudden falling out with Harry feels a little out of left field. Honestly, even as a child, I got over Credric's death really fast. Again, this is a tiny amount of fact combined with a large dose of speculation, but I think it all fits. Edit: for this storyline to be possible, there would have to be no minimum age requirement, or the minimum would have to be 14.

[@Beastinvader]

This makea sense. I remember in book three or four or five (?) Ron did show some jealousy. In book 1 didn't he see himself in the mirror as a quidditch player? Something like this would have worked a lot more.

[@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343]

That’s too bad if that’s the case. I think it definitely would have raised the stakes of the story a lot more and then Cedric could have, as Marcus suggested, come in and be even more chummy with Harry and help Harry through a potentially cool character arc and we wouldn’t have the cringeworthy Hermione/Ron romance. What a wasted opportunity.

[@whirlwind872]

As someone who only saw the movies, even as a kid I didn't feel... anything, when Cedric died. I don't think I felt sad in the slightest. To me Viktor, Fleur, and Cedric all felt like disposable background characters who were just there for this one movie to advance the plot and that's about it. The movie really wanted you to despair at the death of Cedric, to a degree that you'd only ever actually feel if it were Ron or Hermione that died. But since it was just this lame character we barely knew, the level of sadness they wanted you to feel was completely unjustified and unearned. Cedric was always disposable.

I actually really agree with the Cedric part. Cedric should've been Harry's new 'best friend' while he was estranged from Ron.

Goddamn, that would've been cool.

[@davidmhh9977]

Looking at their relationship, this seems really close to being set up, but then it just never really comes together. They're set up as rivals even before Goblet of Fire, since they're on opposing houses and quidditch teams. In the tournament, they're not just competing against each other. Cedric believes Harry cheated to enter the competition, which causes even more conflict. All the factors that made them rivals; however, could have contributed to them being really good friends. They have similar interests and values. They start to burry the hatchet and help each other, but they it never grows beyond each person performing a favor for the other.

[@hittingyouoverthehead]

I agree that it would have been cool but it would not have worked in a realistic sense. Cedric is this cool, popular jock like kid who is 2 or 3 years older than Harry. Harry is hated by all of Hufflepuff house (aka Cedric's house) and is a joke to everyone else because he's a scrawny little 14 year old who's the fourth contestant in a TRIwizard Tournament. Those two wouldn't be friends. Of course you can make the argument that that hanging out with the guy his entire house hates is what would make Cedric the nice and likable guy whose death would impact us, the audience. But then, the age difference is still an issue. A 16-17 year old just randomly hanging out with a 14 year old in school is kind of weird.

If you're trying to say that Cedric can be made into a 14 year old to make this come through, then again, 1. He'd be in the same year as Harry so he wouldn't be so popular.

The fact that you said “the Barty Crouch subplot” hurts. The goblet of fire book is not even primarily about the tournament, it’s about the ministry with crouch, bagman, and fudge.

He's the chosen one but he feels very small standing next to Cedric Diggory, who's practically perfect in every way.

@@channeleditor9335 I imagine that most people who like Snape do so *only* due to his more heroic interpretation in the movies in addition to Alan Rickman's performance that was so good that Snape-lovers transpose him over the far pettier asshole that Snape actually is in the books.

[@thefremddingeguy6058]

I think that even though Cedric is a mediocre 2D character, his death scene is just fucking tragic. First Cedric is murdered pretty brutally, and when Harry and Cedric get back (with Harry lying on top of Cedric), Cedric is dead and Harry is in a fuck ton of pain, physically and emotionally. We transition from one of the darkest scenes in the series (the graveyard scene) to everyone (including Cedric's dad) clapping and cheering, and the band playing an upbeat triumphant song. The juxtaposition is perfect. And when Hagrid becomes the first to notice something is wrong, we know shit is about to go down. The band quickly stops as they realize someone is hurt, and the adults (Fudge and Dumbledore) quickly realize he is dead. Fudge wants to keep it quiet as a deadly, suspenseful silence permeates the audience as they all try to see what happens. And then Cedric's dad, with no regard to anything, pushes through people to get to his dead son. His screams and cries of anguish are perfect acting. And when he shouts about his son, the audience realizes Cedric is dead; we pan over their reactions as they realize Cedric has been killed. The audience's sorrow then contradicts with the aesthetics of the scene: most of them are wearing colorful clothes and they have Gryffindor and Hufflepuff flags and tattoos for the celebration of the final tournament. Again, amazing visual juxtaposition. And Harry, in one last desperate attempt to save Cedric, tries to cling to his body and not let go. So, even though I didn't care much about Cedric, this scene made me feel terrible for him and for everyone who knew him.

I know many of the so called film experts and wannabes state this as their fav, for Oscar winning Curon's direction, and brilliant cinematography. Yes I give credit there, but such a setting was not required, at all.

I'm very interested to see your thoughts on this Edit: okay I watched the video Overall I love listening to your reviews because you’re funny af and you always have interesting insights. You had a number of great thoughts on the series that I hadn’t heard before so thank you for that. BUT you missed a lot of details or just simply didn’t understand a lot of stuff and me being the Harry Potter KZbinr that I am, I have to go over some stuff. 1. Rowling fucking sucks but she did plan most things out very early on and there’s a lot of proof of this like the fact that she re wrote the first chapter of the first book like 100 times and if you put all those chapters together you would have the whole story of the 7 novels. She also almost had the horcrux plot line come out in the second book but then decided to have that play out later so she’d have more time to develop Voldemort and Harry’s relationship, so she knew the diary was a horcrux and knew why Voldemort didn’t die the night he tried to kill Harry as a babt. And there’s a lot more to prove this but I’ll leave it at that 2. Lucius malfoy didn’t know that the diary was a horcrux and that’s why he was so careless with it. All he knew was that it would re open the chamber of secrets 3. Dumbledore knew Lockhart was a fraud. He hired him because he was the only one willing to take on the job. No one else applied for or wanted the job because the job was said to be cursed (and later we find out it really was cursed by Voldemort) 4. The basilisk doesn’t crawl through the walls it crawls through the pipes but that’s a small detail that doesn’t really matter, but just thought I’d point it out 5. Also ghosts can’t see through walls so they wouldn’t see the basilisk crawling through it. They can walk through walls but can’t see through them 6. About hagrid being expelled: Dumbledore didn’t decide the punishment for hagrid, it was the ministry of magic who expelled him and snapped his wand. Dumbledore then stepped in and vouched for hagrid, and fought super hard to allow hagrid to continue his days as gamekeeper, and the ministry reluctantly agreed. But that’s why they were so quick to arrest hagrid in the second novel because they always thought he was guilty and once again you see it’s the ministry that’s steps in proving that Dumbledore has no power in matters of murder or kids being hurt even if it’s at his school 7. There’s a lot about why you can’t time travel to kill Voldemort I just made a whole video about it but it’s pretty air tight and she actually did address her mistake of adding time turners and destroyed them all in the 5th book. She’s admitted her regret of adding them in the first place. Also she didn’t write the piece of shit play that is the cursed child with the time travel bullshit (she did say it was canon though which is disappointing af but no one really sees it as canon) 8. Harry and Cedric should not be best friends for many reasons: they both like the same girl so Harry resents him for this. Then Cedric resents Harry for taking away the one moment of glory he was able to bring to hufflepuff, the house everybody thinks is wack af and doesn’t do shit 9. The complexity of the series is one of the most intriguing aspects of the books. There is so much to digest and look at. Hell, I have a whole freaking channel that dives into the lore of the series. The complexity makes the series amazing. I just can’t agree with anything you said in that entire section of the video, you sort of don’t grasp what makes the series so great 10.

11:45 in the books, this part is actually explained. Voldemort never told Lucius that the diary is a horcrux, but he did tell him it can open the Chamber of Secrets. The reason for that is he didn't want his knowledge of the chamber get wasted (he only had the chance to open it once). Lucius sneaked it to Ginny because 1, it was the year when the chamber should be opened, 2, he didn't get any other direction from his master before his demise, so he thought that's the best thing to do. 3, he saw it as a great opportunity to compromise his longtime rival, Arthur Weasley and 4, it's an easy way to get rid of an extremely compromising object (Lucius believed Voldemort is gone forever, so he tried to erase everything in his past that could've proved his allegience to him).

[@impithezuluwarrior7858]

Thank you I was very confused

[@davidmhh9977]

I kind of get what you're saying, but this decision from Voldemort still seems really out of character. All the other Horcrux's were treated as sacred, and each was given their own personal shrine to keep them safe, with each location being a place that was sentimental to Voldemort. As such, it seems weird that his first Horcrux, and arguably the most personal object, was just with a follower that Voldemort doesn't really even seem that found of. You could argue Lucius was more favored, but it doesn't make sense that Lucius messed up that badly, but all he got as punishment was a cold shoulder. The diary also just doesn't act like any other Horcrux. The in universe explanation is that Ginny had a more "personal" relationship with this Horcrux than the others, but it still seems like a stretch that this horcrux acts independently, when the others give people bad vibes. Also, if Horcruxes can just come back on their own, why did Voldemort need such a complicated plan to come back in book 4?

[@satanoffel9448]

@@davidmhh9977 Bellatrix didn't know either it was a horcrux, she just knew it was very vulnerable to Voldemort

[@AdvaitDJaguarBoy]

True but its still kind of dumb since lucius could have just given it to bill weasly when he started school. That way he would have gotten rid of it sooner and the diary could have just passed down the weasly family to ron, ginny, percy, george or fred who could open the chamber of secrets in the year that it can open.

[@emmajoy4388]

I'm SO glad this vid exists and totally agree with it 99% of the way-the one defense I have is in regards to Avada Kedavra; I think the fact that it's very plain and simple is exactly what makes it feel sinister within the story. It's antithetical to the whimsy and flashiness that we had so far associated with magic in the story, so it has this levity and sobriety to it that brings it a sort of narrative weight. I also think, as a kid, the idea that it was just a spell a person could cast that would instantly kill another person made it feel like death was something that could happen easily and at any time, like death wasn't a matter of power, but of intent. Like, you could probably fight a fire dragon if you're skilled enough, but get hit with Avada Kedavra and you're done. The reason you aren't dead is because no one around you wants you dead-and if they did, it wouldn't be difficult for them. And that's also why Harry's power to oppose Voldemort is special, though I agree that it makes the showdowns they have boring as all hell. It also makes you wonder why anyone in this world tries to kill anyone else by, say, bucking them off a broom, or training a snake to be racist.

[@or9422]

In my opinion, the advantages you listed-while cool and interesting- don't make up for the fact that Harry Potter fights basically become scary laser tag because of the spell, at least when it comes to the villains (and excluding the Department of Mysteries.)

[@emmajoy4388]

@@or9422 nah, I totally agree. Introducing a spell like that pretty much forces the confrontations between Harry and the death eaters to be magic laser tag, although at least the story sometimes balances it out with stuff like the department of mysteries, the room of requirement and gringotts stuff-still, that's the extraneous stuff, and not the actual conflict with the actual antagonists of the story

[@emmajoy4388]

I actually think a cool caveat to it would be that it requires some sort of steep condition, like it'll only work if the caster has no doubts whatsoever about killing their target. that could make for interesting narrative and thematic stuff, too, like if Voldemort used that as a litmus test for his most loyal death eaters and stuff like that. and obviously that shows on its own that wizards whove used it to kill a lot of people are truly "off the deep end" and cant be saved because they have no remorse. and the remorse thing also ties to the horcruxes!! that'd give it better stakes.

[@T800123]

​@@emmajoy4388 That was originally the exact concept behind the unforgiveable curses, that you needed to really, really mean it and that you were also skilled/powerful enough to properly use them.

I hate how, in the early movies especially, the screenwriter gave Hermione all the good lines and moments. Ron got particularly robbed. In POA, I’m pretty sure the scene where Hermione steps in front to protect Harry was Ron’s moment in the book. Not to mention the fact that because of his broken leg, Ron standing up to defend Harry is so much more powerful. In that same scene, she screams at Lupin that she trusted him but her and Lupin barely interacted; it felt like it should’ve been Harry’s line. I just wish the Kloves didn’t cuck Ron so hard just because he’s in love with Emma Watson

[@InquisitorThomas]

Yeah in the books Ron was the street smart member of the trio while Hermione was the book smart one, sure Hermione is more knowledgeable about use complicated magic, but Ron was the one with the knowledge of magical society culture, Hermione didn’t know what Mudblood meant till Ron explained it to her.
