It was more so that Harry wanted to "take a break" because of 1, him being away looking for the horcruxes and 2, if his love for her was out there for everyone to know, the death eaters would use her to bait him out, putting her in harms way for the simple reason that they were together... all of which boss-bitch book Ginny would have none of xD

Percy also wrote a very long letter to Ron in the 5th book advising him to disown Harry. His justification was that Harry was loosing his mind and for Ron’s best interest he should leave him. Ron got redder and redder from anger as he read this letter and ended up ripping it to pieces and throwing it in the fire place. Hermione was watching this happen with an “odd expression on her face,” as the book mentioned. This act of loyalty towards Harry softened Hermione’s heart and she offered to help Ron with his essay. These aren’t huge plot relavent points but my favourite thing about reading HP is the trios dynamic and I wanted to share this little moment :)

[@coachgoltzbizpro23]

It wouldn't surprise me that Hermione would have a positive reaction to Ron there. It actually explains one of my favorite Ron moments that was cut from the films: Offering to protect Hermione from the Muggle Born Registration Committee by claiming she's a distant Weasley cousin and offering to teach her the family tree in Deathly Hallows.

[@nhc7772]

I just left a comment about him as well! Before I even read this comment. He’s one of my favorite characters and his story is one of the best written ones imo.

[@theblackprotagonist5936]

Yeah I’d also have to mention Creature along with that, and just house Elves in general. The fact that they have old, strong Magic. But because Voldemort didn’t see them as a threat in the slightest, their Magic was effective against his Horcrux’s and within barriers he set. Still want to know how Regulus found Cave though. That’s not really explained all too well. Also, why wouldn’t Regulus send Creature to give the Horcrux and the information to Dumbledore? It’s not like he’s an unheard of Wizard. He’s potentially more Famous than every single Wizard, barring maybe Merlin in the HO world. Surly that would’ve been a far better last command to give Creature? Have the lover stolen then and then bring that into play imo.

[@TheIrishBosnian]

Definitely would've been a cool flashback scene. It's not like they didn't have time... the last movies deviated a but towards the end.

[@shepwillner7507]

The Regulus Black story was told in the Deathly Hallows book chapter, "Kreecher's Tale". I agree that Regulus is a heroic character. I wish the "Fantastic Beasts" prequels had shown him as a student at Hogwarts while Dumbledore et al were there.

[@kaytlinjustis5643]

Plus, he's important to the plot; why Harry's and Dumbledore's mission through the cave was an utterly, wasted failure! He sacrificed himself so Kreacher could take the locket-horcrux and try to destroy it!

Richard Harris portrayed him a lot better.

[@SJ-di5zu]

@@ChibaMitsurugi19792It’s not that big of a deal imo. If anything I think the books portrayed Dumbledore kinda stupidly at times. The way he just shrugs off Harry being forced to compete in the Triwizard tournament, doesn’t bother trying to help or protect him in any way, allows the Chamber of Secrets to be opened with no further investigation, and in Sorcerer’s Stone, told Snape to “keep an eye on Quirrell” yet was unable to stop Quirrell from getting to Harry. The later books show Dumbledore is this mega-powerful awesome overlord wizard who knows all, but that makes you wonder why 11-14 year old Harry, Ron, and Hermione ended up in so many dangerous situations. Is Book Dumbledore just careless? Doesn’t care what happens to the trio?

[@matteoairaghi790]

@SJ-di5zu in book one, no one was ever really in danger except for the troll in the girls' bathroom because Dumbledore knew Quirrell couldn't get the stone from the mirror or even touch Harry.

There's a theory that Crookshanks is actually the Potter family's cat. He's old enough. It's stated that James and Lily had one, and that Harry almost killed it when he was one. We also have an official image of the cat, and he looks like Crookshanks. It would explain why he was helping Sirius with Peter, because Crookshanks already knew them. Kneazles are very intelligent. It was on sight for Crookshanks and Scabbers, and I think that's because Crookshanks recognized Peter's animagus form that was supposed to be dead.

[@TheRealTricky]

Pettigrew killing himself: I've heard that was done of censoring reasons. Harry Potter being seen as a children's story, having Peter strangling himself was deemed too shocking. I could not verify this, though. Marauder's Map: The movie not telling the true names of Mooney, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs (nice note, the are named in reverse order as in which they died, but that's beside the point) got even more irritating as Voldemort would only address Peter Pettigrew as "Wormtail" henceforth. Now the book version did the same (although it's not revealed how Voldemort knew Peter's nickname as far as I remember), it did make it more important for the true identities to be revealed, I think. Harry would later (in order not to let Umbridge know) refer to Sirius as "Padfoot" when trying to hint Snape about what was happening at the department of mysteries. Snape claims to have no idea (but that was in order to fool Umbridge), and Snape knowing the nicknames would only be obvious given his history with these four, yet the viewer not knowing. Could all work confusing, you know. SPEW: The Dutch version "Stichting Huiself Inburgering en Tolerantie", well, abbreviate that, and you actually get an English word. (The fully written out version means "Foundation House-Elf Integration and Tolerance", by the way). Not important, but a nice fun fact. Prefects: And not only were Ron & Hermione prefects for Gryffindor, but the movie also didn't mention Draco Malfoy being a prefect for Slytherin. Taboo: What is very annoying about the taboo itself not being revealed is an action by Xenophillius Lovegood, that he did NOT perform in the novels. He said the name "Voldemort" out of the blue to make sure the snatchers would come, so he could turn in Harry hoping to get his daughter Luna back. If you didn't know about the taboo because you never read the books, this action doesn't make sense at all. A few things not mentioned in this video, but which movie-only fans won't know, which is not unimportant. - Merope Gaunt was never mentioned at all in the movies, which is odd since she is Voldemort's mother. In some sort of way she raped Tom Riddle Sr. as the entire way Voldemort came to be is by drugging Tom Riddle Sr. as he actually didn't like Merope at all (drugging people in order to drive them to sex with somebody they'd normally never have sex with, is a kind of rape. The drug being a magic potion or an actually drug is irrelevant). Rowling already stated that Voldemort being unable to understand the entire concept of "love" was because Tom Riddle Sr. only made love to Merope under the effect of love potion. - Not only would it only be hinted in the "Fantastic Beasts" series, in the Harry Potter movies it was not clear at all that Dumbledore was actually homosexual and in love with Grindelwald. And if that wasn't wrong enough, although the gossip auntie already hinted to this in HP7, if it wasn't for the death of Ariana, Dumbledore might actually have ended up as one of the most dangerous wizards of all time (maybe even far more dangerous than Voldemort ever was). - I also don't remember that the movies ever revealed that James Potter actually saved the life of Severus Snape (and also not how that happened). This is important as for a long time it was implied that Snape only protected Harry in order to pay off his life debt to James, while the true reason was his love for Lily. (Dumbledore even shares this false information with Harry, also showing that Dumbledore is actually not the saint he appears to be). - Percy wrote Ron a letter in which he congratulated Ron on becoming a prefect, but also advising him to break off his friendship with Harry Potter and to seek guidance from Dolores Umbridge. There are also these: - Fred & George ordered Peeves to give Umbridge hell on their behalf, and this was the first (and so far only) order Peeves ever took from students. McGonagall even helped him a few times on this. - The orphanage owner drank loads of gin. - Ludo Bagman and Winky. Who are they? - House Elves get drunk by drinking butterbeer. Humans hardly seem affected, as the alcohol percentage appears to be too low. - Draco Malfoy found support in the most unlikely personal imaginable when he has to kill Dumbledore, but is afraid to do it. Moaning Myrtle. Not only that, when Malfoy was almost killed by Harry's Sectumsempra curse, Snape was alarmed because Myrtle began to shout things like "MURDER!" I don't remember if it's truly mentioned, but I thought it was heavily implied that Myrtle also didn't like Harry anymore after that incident. - Petunia KNEW what "Azkaban" and "Dementors" were, which surprised the hell out of both Harry and Uncle Vernon. This was a very important hint to why Petunia hated the Wizarding World (as she was just jealous for not being able to perform magic herself). - Dumbledore sent Petunia a howler. Harry couldn't recognize the voice as it was distorted and the message "REMEMBER MY LAST, PETUNIA!" didn't make much sense to him. It was only at the end of that book, that Harry found out that Dumbledore sent that howler. - The Bloody Baron is the Grey Lady's murderer. But I guess that was lesser important, but still nice to know. - The Gaunt family took pride in being direct descendants of Salazar Slytherin. They even only spoke Parslespeak in his honor. This also explains a part of the question how Voldemort could open the Chamber of Secrets, as according to myth only Slytherin's heir could do so. Well Voldemort *was* a descendant of Slytherin after all. - The name "Frank Bryce". We see him in the movies, but his name is NEVER mentioned. - Firenze getting himself banished from the Centaur herd - Arithmancy was Hermione's favorite subject - Harry was asked during his DADA exam to cast a patronus for extra bonus points. A happy thought is what makes a patronus powerful and by wishing Umbridge would get fired, he was able to conjure the best patronus he ever did. - Dumbledore only mentioned "priori incantatum" by name and asked if Harry saw his parents, after his fight with Voldemort. How this phenomenon came to be was never fully discussed (although Voldemort makes a kind of mention to this in HP7). As soon as Olivander sold the brother of Voldemort's wand to Harry he immediately sent an owl to Dumbledore to tell him Harry bought this wand. - Nymphadora's aunts happens to be Narcissa and Bellatrix. Movie never reveals this. That Nympadora's mother even looks identical to Bellatrix (even causing Harry to engage her in aggression by mistake only to be corrected by Ted). - Buckbeak was renamed "Witherwings" after Sirius stole it, this of course for its own protection. - Ginny and Molly didn't like Fleur, until the moment she revealed her true colors by not breaking up from Bill after being attacked by Greyback. Ginny even called her "Phlegm" all the time. - Although we see Nigel yell "LIGHTNING HAS STRUCK" once Harry returned to Hogwarts for the final confrontation with Voldemort, the station being hosted by River (Lee Jordan), Romulus (Remus Lupin), Royal (Kingley Shacklebolt) is never revealed. - Harry being asked by Lupin to be the godfather of his son. (Not fully sure, but I don't remember this being in the movie). - The Fidelius Charm, is as far as I remember NEVER mentioned at all in the movies. That's how Lily & James hid from Voldemort and Pettigrew was the secret keeper, and that's why Pettigrew is the reason Voldemort could find them, so it's not entirely unimportant. Sirius' house being under this charm so the Order of the Phoenix could be used as HQ was another, and that Dumbledore ghost appearing in HP7 as way to repel Snape (who was thought to be on Voldemort's side) was also a measure because Dumbledore was the secret keeper and due to his death all people who knew the secret would become the new secret keeper, including Snape. - Sirius' mother shouting all the time (even on paining). But to be honest, I wasn't sad they ommited that one in the movies Well, I guess I got enough now.

[@melkhiordarkfell4354]

A bit more subjective but the whole idea of the Prophecy is different in the books. In the movies it is taken as a serious "The Chosen One" story. But in the books, Dumbledore points out that it's not fate or destiny, Harry isn't special because he is "the Chosen One". Harry is just a brave, just and noble person that would never let someone put his friends in danger. He is the kind of man to stand against Voldemort regardless and he is only in his position with Voldemort because Voldemort does believe in magic prophecy and fate.

[@garmadonthesensei59]

Fantastic video !!! The worst one of me is the movies never said that SNAPE was the one who overheard the Prophecy and told Voldemort 😢

Something I really love about book Ron that wasn't quite portrayed in the movies is his loyalty. In the second book, when he and Harry decide to follow the spiders into the forbidden forest, Ron doesn't want anything to do with it, until he sees Hermione's empty seat in the Herbology class (at that time she was already petrified). In the book, Ron never went to the forest (Neville went instead of him) so he only knew the rumors about that place, and even more: spiders are his biggest fear, his boggart is literally a spider, and even then, he decided to enter the forest following the spiders, all for a chance to save his friend.

[@darthmeticulous6901]

Another big one is how Harry came back after being hit by the Killing Curse in the forest. The film does make it clear that his actions resulted in destroying the Horcrux, but what is left out in the film is that Harry was able to return specifically because Voldemort took some of his blood in the process of getting his body back and in doing so, he kept Lily’s Sacrifical Protection alive, so in turn when Harry allowed himself to be hit by the Curse, Voldemort instead only succeeded in destroying the Horcrux. The Elder Wand only mattered when it came to the final battle, contrare to what people who have only seen the films believe. This key detail should have been kept in the films, it even makes this line from Voldemort in the Goblet of Fire film have so much more meaning… “Astonishing what a few drops of your blood can do, Harry!” It really was astonishing. Too bad the films don’t actually mention that at all beyond Goblet of Fire.

[@snakeman9524]

Well they couldn't include Peter's death because the higher up felt it was too dark/ graphic for younger audiences. If they had included it the flim would have an R16 rating.

[@pb99-z3r]

To add to #6 in the movie Kaite Bell is also there in the same scene as Chi when she should have also been a pass out/graduate by then. 7:05 And it was Winkey who was caught with Harry's wand. 10:41 It is sad that the movie missed out the best tins line from the books. When Ron gets his prefect badge Mrs Weasley says something on the lines of everyone being a prefect from the family to which George reply, 'who are we, the next door Neighbours?' 12:45 It was even filmed for the movies. My another favourite scene in the books is in the HBP chapter 1, Half Blood Prince, which starts weeks after the end of OoTP. Be it the chapter title 'The other minister' or the description of the painting that announced Fudge's arrival were fun to read about. It was nice to know that Fudge accepted the fact that Serius was innocent (which he does to the British Prime Minister). It was the best start to the best book in my opinion. So, when we got the movie intro with the death eaters somehow flying and becoming invisible and destroying a bridge which wasn't even constructed until the 2000s, I was shocked. It is sad that we got minutes of unscripted moments which were not even in the book in place of memories of young Tom Riddle collecting artefacts that will later be converted into Horcruxes.

When i had 2 sons she asked me if she could think of them as her boys. I said of course, we can share them. This beautiful woman used to share everything with me when i was little. If she had money then i had money. I was so happy to be able to share something with her. My boys loved hp and i bought every movie when it came out. We watched the first 3 movies together as a family. Then she got leukemia and died before i could even give her a bone marrow donation. As long as you make hp videos, i will watch them until i die.

[@larrythelobster4693]

Im not sure if you’ve covered this in previous videos, but one of the most important omissions from the books is the mirror Sirius gave to harry. It had tremendous repercussions from the moment it was given, up until the final battle. Just my humble opinion

[@the.bookkid]

Literally so glad this channel exists because I have someone to share my obsession of Harry Potter and the Wizarding world with ✌🏼☺️

[@Lillidoo]

The first thing I always think of first is, that The thing Harry always stares in in deathly hallows is acually a piece of (broken) mirror Sirius put in Harrys trunk when they met at Christmas in Order of the Phoenix, as a way to comunicate. As is was hidden at the bottom of the trunk, sadly Harry only found it after Sirius death. It just makes this death so much more tragic knowing that it (and the whole battle in the department of mysteries) could have been avoided had Harry known about and used it earlier.

I actually like the change that Neville is the one to give harry the Gilly weed in the 4th book/movie. I feel like that would be in his character.

[@theastraloverlord4091]

It was Fake Moody's initial plan. He gifted Neville a book that included gillyweed. But Harry never asked Neville to help, so the plan failed. Luckily for Fake Moody, Dobby came for the rescue.

[@naturejane2000]

Dang, I just took for granted that I knew all of those things because I have read the books as well as seen the movies. I never realized that they never specified who the Marauders actually were.

[@lja1993]

I think this is mostly poor foresight by the writers and directors. When this film came out, people ONLY had the book if they wanted to find out the rest of the story. So it would make sense that everyone (or most people) watching it for the first time would likely know this. I think it was a lot of oversight to think that the majority of people would pick up the books as opposed to the movies 20 years down the line

[@genius42995]

And when Mrs. Weasley found out about Ron being named prefect we got one of the best Fred and George lines in “what are we? Next door neighbors?”

[@qs2668]

They had no time - not even 1 additional minute - to tie up the information about the marauders so as to make it all make sense. But creating a plot hole for no reason right at the start of the movie ("Lumos maxima") - yes, we need that, keep that in!

[@savannahryan91]

​@@savannahryan91and cut out the whole fight inside Hogwarts as well. That would have been a much better action scene...and wouldn't make both the Ministry and the Order look stupid and careless for not putting the layers of protection spells over the Burrow while Harry was there like they did in the book.

[@charlesowens5027]

​@@Batman-hb9dh trace was explained fairly well I forget if it was in the books or a theory that I think makes sense. Basically the trace detects magic around the user not who did the magic, the assumption being that adult wizards should be able to control their kids when they are at home. Harry got in trouble for Dobby, and with Harry being the only wizard for miles it had to be him. Biggest thing that upset tbh was the Lumos maximum scene like tf hello last time he did that he got in trouble!! CONSTANT NEVER CEASING VIGILANCE to continuity

[@tracyblackfox152]

Of all of those to me the most important and crucial was the entire map situation. Harry should have known about his dad's involvement and especially learned about the friendship with Lupin. Great video...forgot most of these, but remembered more than not. Excellent work!

I'd love to see a part 2. One thing the movie only fans won't know is that the interior and trunk/boot of the Weasley family car were bigger on the inside.

[@Ediranii]

at 15:00 you missed a detail. Voldemort went after the Potter rather than the Longbottoms, because Harry was a half-blood, like Voldemort himself. It wasn't merely chance, and the books emphasize this.

[@eranshachar9954]

The SPEW part was okay to cut. When adapting into a film I don't find this important. They could have added a line or two on the subject without showing but they said screw it. Good points Morgan. I would have added the fact that the 4th movie cut out Ludo Bagman. For those that do know Ludo plays significant role in book 4. Speaking of St. Mongos, the 5th movie cut the scene of the trio talking to Augusta, and learning for the 1st time what happened to Neville's parents (well except for Harry if to be fair). Damn there are so much of these, I'd say part 2 might be necessary.

[@BrianKlumb]

In regards to #19, I'm 99% sure Ron explains to Harry and Hermione in Deathly Hallows 1 the movie that Voldemort's name is taboo. He learned about it from listening to the radio, which helped explain why those dudes showed up at the coffee shop earlier, and he stops Harry/Hermione mid-conversation as one of them was about to say the name

The movies actually do refer to Sirius as Padfoot twice, when Harry writes to him in OotP and also when Harry tells Snape that he thinks Voldemort captured him in the Ministry. But, yeah it's very unlikely that you could figure it out from there because James and Remus are never referred to by their monikers and the Marauders were never a huge plot point in the movies.

[@staceymoniz]

I was just telling my grandson about this! He loves all your videos so I can't wait for him to watch because he's only read the first 2 books all the way through, so this might inspire him to read them all...

Dumbledore told Harry after he shared his concern that he had let Pettigrew escape that Peter was now indebted to Harry and this might come back to haunt him.... and it surely did.

But it hits harder for me in the book version of the Deathly Hallows.

Book readers know the dumbledore’s obsession with the hallows is the reason for his downfall and assists with James potter’s death. 1: Harry’s invisibility cloak is one of the three deathly hallows. Dumbledore discovered this and asked James to borrow it to examine it thus James shed the cloak of invisibility allowing death to find him. 2. While dumbledore was searching for clues about Voldemort’s past, he finds guant’s ring and immediately identifies it as the resurrection stone. He lets his guard down and gets cursed by the horcrux that would have killed him had he and snape not planned his death. 3. The cloak and ring were family heirlooms that were handed down generation to generation which means that both harry and Voldemort were descendants of the peverell brothers

Peeves was entirely left out of all the films.

[@מיכלמיארה-ש9ע]

15:11 the reason why Voldemort didn't go for Neville was because the prophecy said that he would choose the one who's equal to him. Both Harry and Voldemort had one pure blood parent and one muggle blood parent. Neville's parents however were both pure blood so that's why Voldemort didn't go for him. Dumbeldore finally explains it to Harry after the battle on the Ministry for Magic.

[@connorwiederich]

I always forget that Krum is on the US cover of The Goblet of Fire due to his head not being shaved like it was in the film.

[@ladysan_]

One of my absolute favourite things in the Deathly Hallows book is the interaction with Kreacher about Regulus' locket, and learning about how much he suffered at the hands of Voldemort, and that that was the reason Regulus turned against the dark lord, sacrificing his own life to ruin Voldemorts plans, and Kreacher suffering even more having to watch it happen and, naturally, failing to destroy the locket and thus disobeying orders. And then, when Harry gave him the locket he made a full turn and became really helpful and loyal to Harry instead, because Harry was, I presume, the only one after Regulus, who finally treated him with some respect. I'll never forgive them for leaving that out of the movie. In the big picture, I know there are things more significant that actually affect the plot that they should have kept, but I just like this part because it affected me so much on an emotional level. It also ties together with the end of the book, post victory, when Luna helps Harry escape all the attention and he just wants to go and rest, and wonders if Kreacher may bring him a sandwich to the common room. That is not something Harry would've even considered if Kreacher had not had his character development, as it would likely have been a sandwich full of maggots.

An interesting detail I noticed in the book is that Oliver Wood left Hogwarts after Harry's third year. Quiditch was cancelled the year after that which meant the new Gryffindor captain was not chosen until year 5. It was Angelina Johnson, who was in her final year at that stage. This means that she was in the same year as the Weasley twins. By Harry's sixth year, the team had almost completely changed. Only Katie Bell remained apart from Harry himself.

This is why I’m with the opinion that HBO doing a Harry Potter tv show is very good. There was so much left out that we have a chance to actually see now. As long as we get book accurate Weasleys, a snarky Harry, and a Hermione who’s not perfect then I’ll be happy. I know a lot of people think it’s too soon since the series ended in 2011 but here’s the thing. Deathly Hallows part 2 came out in 2011. They’re not adapting Deathly Hallows yet. They’re adapting Philosophers Stone which came out in 2001. More than 20 years ago and considering the fact that we haven’t heard anything involving the show, even more time is gonna pass before it actually comes out. With all that in mind, I see nothing wrong with HBO redoing Harry Potter.

[@Knibal999]

Casting will be top notch with HBO. Hardly ever fail there. Just can you imagine? They'll essentially have to run a whole school full of kids where some of those kids will be filmed doing awesome things for years on end. What a logistical nightmare. How will they manage quidditch? And we get to look in on it. Very Truman Show. Well that got dark rather quickly...
