Bully and victim are not mutually exclusive and the line between then can get blurry. Quite often the victim of one becomes bully to another. It's truly a horrible, self-perpetuating cycle of abuse that continues until someone decides to stop it. This generally comes about through learning empathy. I think it's fair to say that Draco was consistently, and in various ways, both bully and victim throughout the series.

Draco a victim don’t make me laugh, for one he was never bullied by another student he was the bully belittling Ron for his “blood traitor” values and his family’s lack of wealth, Neville for his “lack” of intelligence, Harry for his lack of any living parents/ or wizarding family at all and finally Hermione for being muggle-born amongst others. Second Draco and his parents Lucius and Narcissa only stopped fighting for Voldemort in the Battle of Hogwarts because they were no longer the ‘second in command’ amongst Voldemort and his Death Eaters as Voldemort started to mock and threaten them for their perceived failures such as the diary being destroyed, unable to steal the prophecy from the Department of Mysteries and it being destroyed and then finally Draco not being the one to actually kill Albus Dumbledore even though he managed to get Death Eaters into Hogwarts. If the diary and the prophecy hadn’t been destroyed they would still be in Voldemort’s favour. As soon as they are no longer treated with respect they cowardly back out of a fight as their Pure-Blood beliefs still align with Voldemort. It is not as if they saw the error of their ways and realised what they believed in and what they were doing was immoral.

The misconception about Patronuses also comes from Pottermore, as it was put that a particularly evil and dark wizard once tried to cast a Patronus, and his wand instead erupted with maggots that devoured him alive.

Yeah I mean Snape was able to cast Avada Kedavra after killing Dumbledore just months beforehand so it does make sense that not every “dark” wizard can no longer cast a patronus. I feel that a dark wizard who even has an ounce of good in their souls can cast a patronus. No matter how small that bit of good is, a dark wizard is able to cast a patronus, Voldemort is evil incarnate and incapable of love whilst Grindlewald was able to have some good in him as he was able to love and also never tried to kill anyone to obtain the elder wand, he simply stole it if I’m not mistaken. So you’re absolutely right about Grindlewald being able to cast a patronus. Voldemort is pure evil and darkness whilst Grindlewald is simply a wizard who had good intentions and took the more aggressive approach in his movements.

It's because there's a difference between being a dark wizard and a wizard that does bad things morally. Lockhart was a bad person.

I think you'll find it was only about a week between the first letter and Harry's birthday. That would still have made it July, not August, as Harry's birthday is at the end of July. And as to the theory that children can't receive their letter in time for their 11th birthdays, tell me where it is written in stone. Hermione knew the answer to Snape's questions and Harry did not. Yet, he also tried to read up as much as he could once he got his new books home. There is even a line in chapter 8 where he wonders how Snape would have expected him to remember everything in 'One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi'. If Hermione had had the best part of a year to read up on Hogwarts' culture and history, this makes more sense to me. She's a smart cookky, but she'd have to be a prodigy to read up all that material in a month and I don't think she is that. This may seem unfair, depenndent upon when your birthday falls, but there is much about this wizarding world which is either unfair or which makes no sense. Take the Trace, for instance. This is grossly unfair to muggle-bornns, as a child from a magical family could get away with using magic outside of school if the Ministry can only tell the use of magic by location and not individual. Saying that a policy of giving a child their acceptance letter in time for their 11th birthday is unfair does not, in my view, negate the argument. Only a statement from the author, one way or the other, would do that for me.

About "Draco is a victim not a bully": I'd say he is both, just like Dudley. In truth, most (if not all) bullies are victims somehow, having learned that violence and demonstration of power is the way to go when you want to achieve something. You don't learn those lessons the easy way, most likely you learn them by being on the receiving end of the violence at first. I admit I haven't read all the books (still working on it), but I assume that the Malfoys are not exactly a kind and loving (or forgiving) family. Failing at something most likely never meant consolation for Draco but pain and humilation. So yeah, he is a bully (and I don't think the movie redemption arc was good enough to actually redeem him) but he is also a victim.
@JoshBearheart8 ай бұрын
I've gotta disagree on the point about Draco. Even in the books it's clear he is only working toward killing Dumbledore because he was threatened with death himself and he felt he needed to make up for his father being sent to Azkaban and restore his families honor. He didn't get as strong of a redemption arc in the book, but he did change and had his own children who went to Hogwarts. He certainly started as a bully, but later on he was a scared boy who made some bad choices, not some strong evil wizard. I think of him more like Wormtail 2.0 rather than some kind of young Voldemort.

That’s not true. In the beginning of half blood prince, Draco was quite proud with the task. As we got farther along in the book, he started to show signs of conflict.

But on top of this she has no problems performing under pressure after the 3rd book. One devils snare example from the first book isn't really convincing lol. Remember in Order of the Phoenix when Hermione fake cried and came up with a plan to lure Umbridge into the forest for the centaurs/Grawp? That was incredible thinking under pressure. Or, remember in Deathly Hallows when the death eaters were in the Lovegoods house, and Hermione managed to come up with a plan that would get them out of there safely, while also making sure the death eaters know Xenophilius wasn't lying, AND that they don't find out Ron is with them?

The reason why it seemed so compelling that the ressurection stone brought Harry back, was because it turned 3 times as it rolled of his palm. The brother in the 3 brother tale also did this. So I always felt like Harry primed the stone (although unknowingly) to bring him back.

"Draco is not a bully but a victim." That statement presumes that the two are mutually exclusive. Why can't a bully also be a victim? In fact, what if the reason they're a bully is because they're a victim, and they just redirect their rage onto others? Or begin to believe that their bullying behavior is justified by their being a victim?

I think you're right. Hermione is unlikely to have memorized all her course books by heart if she only got them a month before school began. It's why the idea of them getting their letters sometime near their eleventh birthday makes sense, as Hermione's birthday is in September. She would have had a full year to study her new textbooks.

Myth #9: Draco is not a bully but a victim... You know someone can be both right? Dumbledore clearly sees Dudly as a victim of the Dursleys because of their parenting so wouldn't Drako also be one? I think Draco liked people thinking he was hardcore and talked big but never actually wanted anyone to get killed.

It likes the dark and the damp - " - Harry Potter: "So light a fire!" - Hermione Granger: " Yes - of course - But there's no wood!" - Ron Weasley: "HAVE YOU GONE MAD!

Since he died and went into purgatory where Valdemort limp was, he was dead and this was inside his head.

That is my theory.

Slight correction, it was once again Lily's sacrifice that enabled Harry to come back in the Forbidden Forest since Voldemort had taken the magic of that sacrifice into himself when he used Harry's blood to rebuild his body. So he basically tethered Harry to life so long as he himself lived or unless Harry made the choice to move on.

I always took it that the Reason Harry didn't die in the forest was due to a combination of 2 unique facts that gave him the choice if he wanted to either pass on or return to life. The first was that by Voldemort taking Harry's Blood into himself when regaining his new body he also took in a small part of the original protection that Lilly gave Harry when she died to protect him, this tethered Harry to the living world as it made it impossible for Voldemort to actually be able to kill Harry so in the forest he only succeeds in killing the part of his own soul that was contained inside Harry and not Harry himself. Plus also at the time Harry confronts Voldemort, Harry is already the Master of Death by being the true owner of all 3 of the Deathly Hallows, you don't actually need to be in possession all 3 Hallows to be the Master of Death you just need to be the rightful owner of them, The Invisibility Cloak was passed to him by his Father as it had been handed down through the generations from Father to Son, The Resurrection Stone being passed on to him in Dumbledore's will and being the rightful Master of the Elder Wand due to ownership of it becoming his as he disarmed the previous Master Draco at Malfoy Manor who had become the Master after disarming Dumbledore at the top of the Astronomy Tower. So Harry effectively became the "Master of Death" from the very point he Disarmed Draco as that was the point he took ownership of all 3 hallows.

There should have been a "Snape is a good guy" myth. He was only conviced to do one good thing for personal gain (saving Lily) and then ended up indebted to Dumbledore. He was still an arsehole with an interest in the dark arts and who bullied children because he was bullied at school, especially picking on Harry as some sort of "revenge" against James.

Having read Harry Potter when it first came out in 97, I found this very interesting & didn't believe any of the myths. Ron doesn't always catch on to things as quickly as Harry & Hermione but he is clever in other ways. He was the one that suggested Harry take lucky potion to get the memory from Slughorn. For me so much of the latter films I find very annoying as some things are so wrong. The one that upsets me the most is Harry throwing away the elder wand. He would never do that, it's just not in his character to do something where this evil wand could live on. I feel that was the director thinking maybe there was a film to make of someone finding the wand! I can't watch the final film because it upsets me so much!

_"The real reason Harry was able to come back to life was due to the bit of Voldemort's soul that had been residing in his body since he was an infant"_ This is wrong. The reason Harry was able to come back was because Voldemort had taken Harry's blood which meant Lily's sacrifice continued to live inside Voldemort, keeping Harry alive. It acted kinda like a "lovecrux" for Harry which is why he was able to come back. _"Draco would have at least attempted to kill Dumbledore because he's a narcissist who will do anything so survive"_ While Draco probably is a bit narcissistic, I don't think you need to be narcissist to want to survive. That's basic human nature for everyone. I think it's also quite clear Draco would have not attempted to kill Dumbledore. Draco was starting to lower his wand before the other death eaters burst into the the room. And even after the death eaters tried to pressure him to do it, he still wasn't able to. Harry also thinks he wouldn't have done it. I also think it's quite clear that Hermione is the smartest of the group. This isn't a myth. Hermione is not only incredibly book-smart, she is also the most emotionally intelligent and logical in general. These qualities alone make her much smarter than Harry and Ron. But on top of this she has no problems performing under pressure after the 3rd book. Reciting one devils snare example from the *first* book isn't really convincing lol. Remember in Order of the Phoenix when Hermione fake cried and came up with a plan to lure Umbridge into the forest for the centaurs/Grawp? That was incredible thinking under pressure. Or remember in Deathly Hallows when the death eaters were in the Lovegoods house, and Hermione managed to come up with a plan that would get them out of there safely, while also making sure the death eaters know Xenophilius wasn't lying, AND that they don't find out Ron is with them. Incredible thinking on the fly. So yeah, Hermione is clearly the smartest of the trio. That doesn't mean Harry and Ron are stupid, although they sometimes are 😁

And a myth that annoys me is your incomplete explanation for Harry surviving in the Forbidden Forest.

I figured the reason Voldemort couldn't kill Harry in the last book/movie was because through Dumbledore's planning and some luck, Harry entered the forest as "master of death". He already had the invisibility cloak, he now realizes he has the resurrection stone. And as he later informs Voldemort, ever since disarming Draco he has been the true owner of the elder wand. Which also shows that he didn't need to be in physical possession of the wand for it to answer to him. I would assume that same logic applies to the stone. Even though he drops it in the forest, it still answers to him since he didn't give it to another person or have it taken from him. That's why in his vision/dream/limbo, Dumbledore tells him he has a choice of whether he wants to go back or to go "on" because he is the owner of all three of the deathly hallows.

There is so much more in the books that the movies simply can’t do justice. It just isn’t feasible, especially with the latter books, due to their extensive lengths. The order of the Phoenix is the longest, with a total of 870 pages. It’s understandable that they can’t fit everything, but what bugs me the most is when they added or changed things around in the movies that just never happened in the books. The first example that comes to mind is Voldemort actually HUGGING Draco Malfoy in the last movie at the end of the battle. Or Voldemort ridiculously disintegrated into flakes?! Come on! Or Harry not fixing his own wand with the powerful elder wand, something no other wand could possibly do. And he didn’t stupidly snap the most powerful wand in the world in HALF and then chucked it! He returned it to Dumbledore’s grave. As long as Harry stayed undefeated until his death, the vicious cycle of murder would die with him. So many little things, lol. The movies are really great too, with absolutely phenomenal casting and incredible production, but they just can’t trump the books for me.

So, while I agree that Hermione is only the most well read, the devils snare thing was all three of them. Hermione said that it likes the dark and damp, harry said to light a fire (something that they mention earlier in the first book that hermione had become quite adept at producing for warmth during the cold scottish highland winters, for anyone wondering why harry didn't just do it) and Ron was the one that kept cool enough to remind Hermione that she's a witch and doesn't need wood. Also, later in that same chapter ron proves how smart he is by beating the large chess set, and Hermione points out something that plays a roll in book 6 in the potion room when she says that most wizards don't have an ounce of logic. Where this comes to pass in the 6th book is when Dumbledore and Harry are in the boat headed to the horcrux and Dumbledor tells Harry "Like many creatures that dwell in cold and dark, they fear light and warmth." Then has to tell Harry that means fire. While damp and dark is different than cold and dark, the fact that it's lost on Harry, tells me that Hogwarts made Harry less logical. Or J.K. just isn't a good writer...

your take on the Draco myth is way off. throughout HBP (book), we see Draco struggle with his task, not just technically (how to actually accomplish it), but more so emotionally (his conversation w/ Snape during Slughorn's party, Myrtle's revelations to Harry about Draco crying), which culminate on the Astronomy Tower and his interaction with Dumbledore. his inner turmoil and conflict are described very well. and although he relapses a bit in DH (during the Room of Requirement fight) it is obvious that 6th and 7th year Draco has greatly matured and realized, like his mother did, that following his father's path with Voldemort will only lead to pain and suffering (Draco suddenly can't identify Harry in DH/Narcissa turns out to be a very powerful occlumens in the forest).

I'm not an expert in forestry, but the Beech trees and Scots Pines were familiar to me. Scots Pine, so it must be Scotland.

Regarding Draco Malfoy, I do think he was a victim. Oh, he was a bully as well, but this behavior was the result of being raised by Death Eater parents who told him how superior he was for being a Pure Blood. When it came time to assassinate Dumbledore, his heart was never truly in it. Dumbledore even had a long conversation with him about his attempts, where Albus noted that if he truly meant to kill him, they would not still be talking. After reading Half Blood Prince, I no longer hated Draco. The only thing I felt towards him was pity. And I read it long before the movie came out and butchered that scene.

It never made a lot of sense to me that Harry didn’t die in the forest. As explained in the series, in order to destroy a horcrux you have to destroy what’s containing it. Because a horcrux cannot survive without the container. Which is the opposite of a soul which remains intact when the container is destroyed. So how come Harry didn’t need to be destroyed in order to destroy that horcrux inside him? I know it’s stated that because of his blood inside Voldemort, that tethered him to life while Voldemort lived. But wouldn’t that also mean once Voldemort died Harry would too? It doesn’t exactly add up.
