Harry Potter: A Deep Dive into the Politics & Class System of the Wizarding World

[@MovieFlame]

This video took well over a month to make, and I put my heart and soul into it 😅If you enjoy the video, please consider LIKING and SHARING so that my hard work pays off. Thank you, and enjoy!

[@icemariofan2746]

Can’t wait to watch!

[@GalavantGaming]

Thank you for bringing this video to us! I’ve always been curious about the class structure in Harry Potter

Morgan deserves all the respect. He actually willingly read about Goblin Rebellions lmao 😂

[@safaulhoque4667]

[@MessitheKingandgoat]

The advertise before the video is better than whole cursed child

[@chloewalters6807]

From someone who has been watching Morgan's videos for years, I can say this is one of his best releases EVER. Even the editing has taken a step up, something I never thought Morgan could improve as I am a large fan of his editing style. It's evident time, hard work and passion has been put into this lengthy video, and I am proud to say I am a MovieFlame subscriber!

[@lalalou123]

This 🥺🥺

[@ImOnlyAGoat]

Fudge is surprisingly my favorite hp villain and one of my favorite characterd because of the realism shown despite the magical world of hp

[@MJCam1130]

Exactly! I think the world of Harry Potter has an excellent balance of villains that represent both blatant evil (ex: Voldemort, Bellatrix) and more strategic, subtle evil (ex: Fudge, Umbridge).

[@linexi]

Yeah

[@Knowledge.to_Come]

Fudge is to blame for Voldemorts rise to power the entire 5th book

[@jasonmcdougal2092]

Fudge reminds me of Donald trump

[@The-Jai-5328]

This! He's not my favorite villain but definitely top 5

[@Sigrid-d8m]

The weasleys after the war: Bill: Married a Veela. Otherwise pretty “normal” I think. Charlie: Worked with dragons, making them some money. Percy: Worked with the ministry, even more money. The twins: Their joke shop was a HIT. giving them even more money. Ron: Married Hermione, Who worked for the ministry. Ginny: MARRIED THE HARRY POTTER. PROFFESIONAL QUIDDITCH. AND A BIT OF MINISTRY.

[@Wailmur]

one of the twins was dead though sadly

[@Moonlight-p8m]

Ron also helped George with the shop after a while.

[@amandafelix-amadi5334]

Ron was an auro for a few years, meaning he worked for the ministry himself, and he also had his face immortalised on a chocolate frog card for his contribution in taking down Voldermort, then he left the ministry on his own terms and became an equal partner in his brother's successful joke enterprise, making him lots of money, AND he married THE Hermione Granger. He's quite literally the most accomplished Weasley by the end of the series.

[@makkapakka7047]

The Weasleys went from rags to riches

[@toledochristianmatthew9919]

​@@makkapakka7047honestly they deserve it especially with how Ron and his family were treated at times to be lower class ended being successful is quite nice

[@DC-MarvelGirl1997]

Also, Voldemort was probably turning when he realized Isolt, his relative, founded the American wizarding school and married a muggle. I find it funny just to sit and think about his reaction. You could write fanfiction around that whole idea.

[@SpiderSora]

I found it weird how the wizarding world really chose to turn against Harry right after Voldemorts return and only finally accepted the truth once it hit them square in the face at the battle at the department of mysteries as if the boy who lived who everybody knows Voldemort tried to delete who's seen more horror than everyone else to last him a lifetime of trauma has any reason to lie while the corpse of Cedric Diggory is laying right in front of him

[@Hamster-fetus]

I mean... the same thing is happening in American politics right now lol just more muggle version

[@Birchlead]

Unfortunately it’s incredibly realistic because of this.

[@abraham2172]

Its explained in the fifth book, the people simply didnt want to face the horrible truth. It was much easier and more comfortable to just believe the authorities that everything was fine and do nothing. Interestingly, the exact same thing happens in the famous book "World War Z" by Max Brooks. In it, the authorities and the public basically dismisses the zombie threat, pretending things were under controll, until the horrible truth was revealed and everything collapsed into pure panic and chaos. Its a fantastic book and as realistic as a book about zombies can be.

[@AhmedHussain-ju6xd]

I'm disappointed that harry being the chosen one didn't tackle these major issues in the wizarding world but then again that wasn't his purpose

[@michelveenstra9906]

He did reform the auror department after the story of the books ended. Its on pottermore

[@sir_theodore23]

Goes back to how Ron and Hermione remind him in Deathly Hallows that the war is bigger than just the conflict between him and Voldemort -- everyone needed to step up and do the right thing, not just harry

[@annlouiserainey4888]

A leader that motivates the people to follow.

[@adamcarreras-neal6876]

When he was labelled the chosen one he was a kid then had just turned of age in the wizarding wolrd and had bigger problems once that ws over he Ron and herminoe sorted out the problems with help from the minister Kingsley

[@abraham2172]

He kind of did tackle these issues though, fighting Umbridge, refusing to support the ministry and of course making reforms possible by defeating Voldemort.

Interesting. A discussion about how the culture was affected by the separation in 1689 would be a fascinating topic, since the wizarding society would have missed the industrial revolution and many other of the cataclysmic changes muggle world underwent.

[@saranshpandey3056]

Bro just randomly dropped a banger 🔥 Gotta say 90% plus lore of of Harry Potter is Movieflame himself 😂 Waiting on you to finish the Easter Eggs videos of the final 2 movies 🍿

[@mollyfischer3428]

I always loved the politics of the Wizarding World because of how interesting and also how similar it is to our world thank you for making this video for me it is worth the wait.

[@DC-MarvelGirl1997]

The title caught my eye when I saw the notification. I'm currently on book 3 in my reread of the series. But I find themes around things like class are all relevant going all the way back to Dickens and Hinton.

[@DijosGrove]

Damn Morgan, I’ve ben watching your videos since the marauders video. I stopped watching your videos for a while because of school and when I came back I was not disappointed. The new set, Mic quality and props are amazing to say the least. Love this vid. Waiting for more!!

[@Jayforeman3047]

Bravo, sir. Bravo. What an interesting topic. It’s very evident how much work you put into these videos and it’s appreciated SO much!

[@mistv901]

Excellent job! You really broke down the various factions, along with how they seek and use power. This is why when people say to me, "Harry Potter is just a silly children's series. Why do you still love it so much?" I get mad. There's so many complex and intriguing aspects to the world and the characters in general! It's also a critical look mirroring our own society! That's one of the main reasons I love Star Trek, too!

[@basil4101]

So glad I came across this channel again, I used to watch you and nostalgia critic in middle school, y’all are the reason I am in film school now

[@XaloGunner]

8:40 Ludo Bagman was my #1 "dang I wish he'd been in the movie, he was a fun character" of the whole book series. He's fun, a good bloke, a total degenerate gambler, a low-key con artist (with the Weasley twins/goblins) but overall seemed like a solid dude haha.

[@PinchPigeon426]

Been waiting for this video! I know you’ve worked hard for this one Morgan. Excited to see how it came out!

[@AlexanderBlakwood]

i realized a little easter egg when i was rewatching the movies, but i never had a place to post it, so i decided here would be the best. so anyway, i noticed that whenever Voldermort uses the killing curse, he says it all at once, like he's trying to get it done as quick as possible. but when he did it on Harry, he said it nice and slowly, like he was savoring the moment he finally killed the boy who lived. i know this has nothing to do with the vid, and i'm sure someone has already though of this, but i hope y'all enjoy it nonetheless

Voldemort being muggle-born was of course also a direct reference to Hitler being half-Jewish. It makes it very clear how these two evils are so similar.

I will never understand why Dumbledore let Fudge's action go unpunished. Dumbledore could literally have gone through Fudge office, tell him "Voldemort is back, stop saying shit about Harry and me, if you don't, I just have to sneeze to make you dead."

[@PcCAvioN]

He's being christlike, and he does have some christ figure symbolism. He shows harry the way for salvation and meets him upon death, as christ is supposed to. Dumbledore could terrorize fudge into submission the way voldemort would, but he refuses to on principle. I k ow the analogy isnt airtight. Just my reading

I will not have this slander of Gilderoy Lockhart. He’s a great man. There was a terrible tyrannical troll terrorizing my village and Lockhart stopped him. I don’t really remember what happened or how he did it, come to think of it the last thing I remember was getting ready to fight the troll myself. I’m actually pretty talented at taking down large creatures from my years of extensive training in both DADA and CoMC. Anyway the next thing I knew, the troll was gone and later I read about how Gilderoy beat him using the exact method I was going to use. I guess great minds think alike.

[@sreenivaskamath4243]

Or probably, you defeated the troll yourself, but then Lockhart came in, erased that memory from you and wrote it in a book, saying that he did it himself. Maybe he was taking credit for the brave work thatbyou did.
