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.

Voldemort never told anyone about his horcruxes he just gave the book to Lucius to take care of it and keep it safe.

[@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 think its just more of an "oh shit" feeling then a sad feeling scene. Also the Hogwarts Band is funny af in that scene.

[@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 actually like that Harry and Cedric's relationship was distant and awkward, with Harry being very jealous of Cedric from time to time. Cedric is everything he's not, and you see Harry experience an inferiority complex for the first time. He's the chosen one but he feels very small standing next to Cedric Diggory, who's practically perfect in every way.

1. Chamber Of Secrets - it creates the mysterious, thriller affect in a kids movie but retains the fairytale like charm of the medieval castle , most of the scenes are at night with yellow lights in the castle, gives a cozy feeling. 2. Philosopher's stone - Introduction to the wizarding world, adventurous 3. Goblet Of Fire - Action filled, other schools, thrilling 4. Deathly Hallows 1 - ik some parts are boring like their wilderness quests but rest is so good. 5. Deathly Hallows 2 - Action, revelations, fun to watch 6. Half Blood Prince - The correct amount of grim and jolly , not trying to make it extra sad 7. Order Of the Phoenix - nothing much to say, just ok 8. Prisoner of Azkaban - I truly despise this movie. 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. It feels so much like the half blood Prince, if Voldemort was gone, there was no present threat of him, still the movie felt so much grim, not a single shot with sunlight, unnecessary cloudy weather all the fuckin time. Even when the dementors where gone. It Destroyed what Chris Columbus had built, A fairytale like land, nostalgic, old and dreamlike, I know a transition was needed but it was too much on the face, it just wasn't required.

I actually really agree with the Cedric part. Cedric should've been Harry's new 'best friend' while he was estranged from Ron. That would've hit harder at the end since it would've shown that this type of thing could easily happen to Ron & Hermione, also showing to Harry that he can't always protect his friends. 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.

[@terryqokov6999]

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.

[@seanbourdier8756]

There was an interview somewhere, where the director of the first two says that he liked Hermione as a character more than Ron so he ended up giving her more lines and more things to do and kinda gave Ron shit lines and whatnot. That dynamic was picked up on by the following directors. So basically, movie Hermione got a bunch of buffs that made her a better stronger character and movie Ron got nerfed into a bumbling idiot, funny boy.

I hate what they did to my boy Ron. In the books he is the best of the trio, but the director wanted his favorite character (Hermione) to basically be the main chracter.

He needed to give botany advice to Neville in order for him to give Harry the gillyweed. However I do think that comforting him was not the most « logical » decision to make according to Barty’s character.

Dumbledore explained in Half Blood Prince that Voldemort told Malfoy that the diary had the power to reopen the Chamber of Secrets, but not that part of his soul was in the book. It's kind of a stupid thing of Voldemort to assume Malfoy would be more careful with the book, without telling him why it's important.

I remember when I was a kid when Tom Riddle writes “I am Lord Voldemort”, I thought he was some punk kid trying to use the name to seem super cool, like he was a new villain but was trying to compare himself to Voldemort, but it didn’t work out with the fans cause he was so lame and that’s why JK went back to Voldemort being the main villain while Tom was some side story villain. Kind of like a Saturday morning cartoon or something I was a dumb child.

[@Xehanort10]

To be fair that's exactly what Tom Riddle was doing by giving himself the Voldemort name. Trying to make himself seem cool and scary and get away from the name he shared with the dad he hated and because he considered Tom such a common and ordinary name and in his arrogance thought he was better than that.

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.
