One detail that was changed from the books is how Harry wards off Voldemort when being possessed. In the movie it was the power of friendship, but in the books Harry thinks of his friends to no effect, and then he thinks "If I die, at least I'll get to see Sirius again" and at that instant Voldemort retreats. Voldemort can't stand to share Harry's GRIEF at losing Sirius, that's what drives him out.

[@JoleneDaviesITKWJ]

It was love. Voldemort doesn't and can't feel love, it repels him and in its purest form is a powerful magic. It's an extension of how Lily protected Harry... that's one thing the movies couldn't/ didn't capture as well as the books.... the 'love' magic throughout.

[@Minnie123.__.]

[@Caiyde]

I think the reason she's hated more than Voldemort is that Voldemort is (at least up until #6) closer to being a force of nature than a character. It's hard to hate the wind for blowing, y'know? Meanwhile, Dolores Umbridge is very much a grounded human being who has the capacity to do good, but actively chooses evil instead - and not even "useful" evil that could be spun as pragmatism; she's *needlessly* malevolent, and I think it's that sense of mourning what *could* have been that incites such fury when we see her onscreen or read the books.

[@catiejanb2587]

In the book McGonagall is very sceptical of Trelawney's abilities. The fact that she comes to Trelawney's defense thus has greater meaning in the story.

[@silversamurai0267]

It's a good lesson that in spite of disagreeing with someone, you can still respect and care for them.

In the books the job interview of trelawney by Dumbledore is also described. At that point he was also sceptical of her abilities but she was the one that predicted the prophecy during the job interview which is why he gave her the job. He says though that she only made two correct prophecies in her life (the one at the job interview and the one in the third movie)

[@EvelyntMild]

Every prediction made by Trelawney is correct. All the little ones that make her look like a hack are misinterpreted, but absolutely correct. "The Grimm" is a prediction of Sirius. Ron's "You're going to suffer, but you're going to be happy about it." is likewise about Harry meeting Sirius. Trelawney's comment to Neville about his grandmother was correct. She tells Umbridge "You are in grave danger.", remember the Centaurs? And the books have even more. She's a terrific character.

They confirm that James was a bully in school but he grew out of it like so many do.

"Yeah I know they bullied and was cruel but it was just one person and that person was a freak who studied the dark arts so it's cool."

[@MarnieGolde7]

@@ausetshnaiun8050 I don’t think his bullying should be excused. And Harry’s reaction to learning about his father’s juvenile behaviors is rightfully a reaction of incredible hurt and repulsion. But, it does show the room for growth and change. At the same time, while James is able to mature and grow (like many insecure bullies) it doesn’t dismiss the fact that his behaviors towards Snape left life-long scars. It’s a good lesson to children that bullying is not only a sign of immaturity and insecurity, but even once some bullies grow out of this behavior the harm they cause to others often leaves an indelible mark.

"Yes," "You told her He Who Must Not Be Named is back?" "Yes." Proffesor McGonagall sat down behind her desk, frowning at Harry. Then she said "Have a biscuit, Harry" Then there's the ouch-est roast of all time "I'm terribly sorry to have contradicte you, Minerva, but as you see from my note, Harry has been receiving very poor results in class with me --" "I should have made myself plainer, " said Proffesor McGonagall, turning at last to look Umbridge directly in the eyes. "He has achieved high marks in all Defence Against the Dark Arts tests set by a competent teacher." Proffesor Umbridge's smile vanished as sudden as a light bulb blowing AKA if you think about that, McGonagall just said that the idiot Lockhart, is more competent than Umbridge. 🤣 Proffesor McGonagall is a QUEEN She also kept offering Umbridge a cough drop for all her clearing her throat. Oh and I leave you with this (the weasley twins and others trying to make Umbridge's life terrible with pranks lasts way longer in the books. Also Peeve's is a ghost who loves Mischief) Harry witnessed Proffesor McGonagall walking right past Peeves, who was determinedly loosening a crystal chandelier, and could have sworn he heard her tell the poltergeist out of the corner of her mouth, "It unscrew the other way."

I actually hated the change from the book. A big part of Sirius' and Harry's relationship is navigating that awkward space of Sirius missing James so much but also making sure he doesn't turn Harry into a James 2.0. Their relationship is more that of a father and son than two best friends and it's something Sirius navigated really well in the books imo. Having Sirius call Harry James right before he dies actually takes away from his character because that means that in his mind, Harry is (partially) a James substitute. Harry often liked being compared to his father and having Sirius call him James would be something Harry would have been proud of but it's not what he needed. He needed a father figure who didn't see his dead friend but who saw him as Harry.

Let me actually explain this properly for you. People aren’t explaining the muggle thing. What happens in the wizard world DOES affect the muggle world. The muggles just don’t know what’s going on. Wizards use charms and memory modification to cover up all wizarding activity that has been noticed by muggles. There are only SOME things they don’t see. Like Dementors and charmed items like the knight bus. Ron’s Dad’s ENTIRE JOB usually involves modifying muggle memories and fixing mishaps that have happened. In the book they don’t fly down the river. They fly way up in the sky so nobody will see them. Sometimes they use charms that turn them almost invisible, but they can’t do this in the movie. There are charms on hogwarts that make the building look abandoned to muggles, and also force them to turn around and go another direction, having suddenly remembered that they have something important to do. Cool stuff.

In the book, Hermione did an advanced magic called the Protean Charm on galleons (Wizard coin currency) and gave them to all the DA members so they could communicate and set dates for their DA lessons without having to talk to each other in the hallways since Umbridge and the Inquisitorial squad are keeping an eye on them. On the outside, it would look like a regular galleon with serial numbers so it does not look suspicious. If a date is set for another meeting, the coin will grow hot so the could feel it in their pockets, then the inconspicuous serial numbers would show the date of the meeting. One Ravenclaw DA member was so impressed with Hermione that he asked her why she wasn’t sorted into Ravenclaw since she’s clearly very smart. She answered that the sorting hat did consider putting her in Ravenclaw but in the end decided to sort her into Gryffindor. I guess her bravery outweighted her intelligence and for someone with Hermione’s brain, that’s saying a lot.

[@KrazzeeKane]

Unpopular opinion, but I think having Hermoine in Ravenclaw could have been a good thing, or at least it could have added a different dynamic to the story. The other houses did not get a whole lot of representation even in the books beyond side characters, so it would've been interesting to see a super strong inter-house friendship of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw via having Hermoine in Ravenclaw instead. If they had also had a hufflepuff or perhaps a good hearted Slytherin, could have been interesting as well to show the full depth of a House and how they aren't just defined by a single ideal.

The thing about the Avada Kedavra spell is that from a muggle's point of view, the person has toppled over and died - so it might be slightly 'mysterious', but not necessarily seen as a murder. In the fourth book you find out that when Voldemort murdered his father and grandparents decades ago, Frank, the old caretaker you saw at the beginning of the GoF movie, was taken into custody for murder - but since the police couldn't prove how the Riddles died, they had to let him go. Frank was treated as a murderer by everyone in the village for the rest of his life though - until Voldemort returned to the house that one night with Pettigrew and Barty Crouch and Frank went to check out the light (and was murdered himself).

[@anishasm2705]

Hey Badd Medicine, just wanted to hop in here and give you guys some context: The movies have overlooked the “precautions “ that the wizarding world takes to be Hidden. In the books, Harry and the others flying on brooms in the city, they actually fly high up in the sky, into and out of clouds, to hide themselves from Muggles! Also they make themselves invisible by the Disillusionment Charm(a human chameleon). The Knight bus you saw in the Part 3 is also a magical bus, that requires minimal steering, it’s magical and jumps from one place to other, to the point that any object in the way jumps out of the way, to make way for the magical bus!Plus the bus is invisible to the Muggle eye, so are the Dementors!

[@shikharrohela650]

To make voldemort more menacing in the last duel, dumbledore's power were underplayed a lot in the movie. Albus had the upperhand throughout the fight in the book as voldemort was constantly trying to kill albus and failing.

[@StopReadingMyNameOrElse]

@@pillaygabrielle4450 Its not like they ever showed him struggle in this though. Everything he threw at Dumbledore he just handled it no problem. All the way up to bypassing him completely to go for Harry.

[@dfcarvalho]

Yeah, iirc in the books the only reason Voldemort even has a chance is because Dumbledore is having to protect Harry. He transfigures some statues to protect him, so half his concentration is in controlling the statues to block Voldemort's spells against Harry. In the movie they kind of show this when Voldemort is spreading the lighting thingies and Dumbledore pushes Harry back, but in the book it feels more intense I think.

[@brooklynbutter5357]

I don’t think Dumbledore is underplaying. His spells are just more on the defensive side. He is not trying to kill Voldemort. He is trying to stall for time so that the ministry can get there and see him too all the while protecting Harry

[@robertgronewold3326]

Oh, one little detail that gets cut from the movies, and it's actually explained in the sixth book, but never shown in the movie. Voldemort is the reason why there is a different Defense Against the Dark Arts professor every year. Back in the 60's when Dumbledore first became the Headmaster of Hogwarts, Voldemort, still in the early days of trying to build a base of supporters, actually came to the school and asked to become the professor in that position. Of course, Dumbledore point blank refused for obvious reasons, and in retaliation Voldemort jinxed the job so that no teacher would last a year. Something ALWAYS goes wrong.

19:06 it's never explained in the movies, but Trelawney is a reaaaally bad teacher but has great divination magic. She is the one who made the Harry/Voldemort prophecy, she is given the teacher job and a home in Hogwarts by Dumbledore to portect her from any death eater or Voldemort. But yeah her class is terrible.

[@sleepyfork5250]

Also, if I remember the books correctly, divination in this universe is largely bogus. Meaning that you can't actually predict the futur through horoscope, tarot cards, tea leaves, etc. But because Trelawney is the great-great-granddaughter of a really powerful seer she has the really rare power of prophecy. She was given a bullshit job at Hogwarts by Dumbledore in order to protect her from Voldemort.

[@VestigialDuke]

@@sleepyfork5250 you're right, also i recall that once Trelawney is fired, they bring Firenze (the centaur from the first movie) to teach divination. So we learn that divination is actually more of an cosmic awareness type of thing, than telling the future.

@ 4:50… yes. Muggles dont pay attention. Also a lot of enchantments have been put into effect that conceals magic from muggles. They also cannot see dementors, which is part of why Dudley was so messed up after the attack. He had no idea what was attacking him. He only saw Harry doing magic.

I love you guys cheering up here 14:27 I can't imagine what your reaction would be if they had included all the Ron scenes from the books. Ron, not only in the 5th film, but always an extremely supportive friend of Harry. The reason Ron does not give a useless character impression in the books is because he is an amazing person. He always watches his friends' back, is always there to protect and defend them. Even this scene could have been represented more passionately. Like, the book Ron would never wait Harry to get in verbal conflict with Seamus but physically fight him lol

[@yasminadaliyoucef1557]

Harry perspective about his parents developed in a really truthful way. -His adoptive family insulted them all the time - at Hogwarts his father and mother friends glorified them -Rogue perspective james was a bully.

@AbsentDay Yeah, but it isn’t the Supreme Court. It’s a court that gives initial judgements. Everything about the wizarding world is inconsistent and illogical in many cases. It can’t really be compared to the regular world.

[@gigitee9]

You guys are so insightful and I love hearing your opinions!! Luna is one of my absolute favourite characters because she’s just so unique and she is probably one of the people who Harry can connect the most to - she’s an amazing friend. Unfortunately in the books she is treated quite unfairly, even by Hermoine. Hence “loony lovegood”. I didn’t like this movie the first few times but now I love it, especially how it portrays how trauma can affect someone and Harry’s experience with what is obviously ptsd. Half blood Prince is probably my second favourite movie of the whole lot and I can’t wait to see your reaction❤️

Hermione unthinkingly introducing Luna as "Loony" made me want to slap Hermione. She herself was bullied for being different and not fitting in, so why she went along with the girls in Ravenclaw and added to that bullying they were inflicting on Luna is beyond me. And shame on Flitwick (the Ravenclaw head of house) for doing NOTHING to put a stop to it.

@@Shan_Dalamani it's not that surprising. For one she's a teenager and an extremely logical one at that.

Jeffrey was a kid with a f'ed up mother and likely mental issues. It's easier to "explain" his behaviour. Umbridge is a full on adult who's torturing children and is also a racist (hates muggleborn wizards). And we don't know what made her that way so it's harder to explain her behaviour away.
