Top 35 Darkest Moments LEFT OUT of the Films - Harry Potter Explained

[@Thejigholeman]

Molly: he was such a handsome boy.... and he was going to be married... Fleur: And what do you mean by that? What do you mean he was "Going" to be married? Molly: Well, only that- Fleur: You think bill will not wish to marry me anymore? You think because of these bites he will not love me? Molly: No, that's not what I- Fleur: Because he WILL! It will take more than a werewolf to stop bill from loving me. Molly: well, yes, I-I'm sure. but I thought, perhaps, given how he- Fleur: You thought I would not wish to marry HIM ? Or perhaps you HOPED! What do I care how he looks? I am good looking enough for both of us, I think. All these scars show is that my husband is *BRAVE* . And I shall do ZAT! (she then took the ointment from Mrs.Weasley and began applying it to bill's wounds) Fleur had so much more character in the books than in the movies. Fleur was Rouler ou mourir.

[@LetHimRead]

Thanks for posting. How did Molly react?

[@nohemicruz7897]

​@@LetHimReadShe hugged and cried with Fleur.

[@rachelkerns86]

She offered a tiara for the wedding from aunt Muriel I believe 🤔 Fleur was a absolute Queen

[@Gallalad1]

Neville's parents were always the most heartbreaking part of the books to me. He loved them so much and in some ways had his family robbed from him.

[@akelly4207]

Neville’s entire story was worse to me. He grew up with a strict relative that put him down and berated him, that he feared. His parents were insane. But he still had to visit them knowing they would never know him, never be the parents he needed. He had people look down on him for being a squib (as they thought him) and various people doing horrible things like throwing him out of windows to force magic from him. He was bullied, he had no friends yet when The main 3 were gone he led the DA during a dangerous time and killed Nagini by himself. He was never given the praise Harry was yet Harry, Hermione and Ron went looking to involve themselves in dangerous plans without asking for help or letting others know most of the time.

[@nikstar6970]

The bit with Mollys boggart always gets me. Especially in light of what happens later. Even in her worst fears/nightmares, she didn't see the twins separated. At least when she saw them dead they were together. So it just makes Fred's death even sadder

[@ItsRayful]

"her worst fear is 2 children dying so one child dying is even worse" nah fam

[@EspressoStreams]

@@ItsRayful You misunderstood the statement. She couldn't fear Fred and George being separated because it was unfathomable that it could happen. She never imagined it. So her worst fears even have them dead, but as a pair.

[@ItsRayful]

@@EspressoStreams You are repeating the same thing.

[@rot3053]

Isn't that kind of your intention though? To troll this person and make them repeat themselves because you twisted their words? I totally understand what they mean

[@ItsRayful]

@@rot3053 I can underestand what they mean and still disagree with it

[@LAZERAK47V2]

Regarding Pettigrew's death, if you recall back to when Voldemort had given him his silver hand, he said the following after: "May your loyalty never again waver, Wormtail." That wasn't Voldemort praising Pettigrew for returning to him and serving him faithfully: that was a threat, a warning should he ever stumble in his service again.

[@Tengu125]

That makes way more sense, knowing Voldemort.

[@wookieninja8794]

I always saw it as a sort of curse he put on the hand so that Peter wouldn't betray him again or he'd pay the price.

[@MythStarFire]

The twins did not intend to torture anyone. The cabinet had been broken by Peeves the year or two before. They did know it was broken, but not what it would do. Rita was only in the jar for a few days. Hermione made sure she was safe inside. Greyback’s true worst trait was his attacking children and eating humans. He is the one who attacked Remus Lupin at the age of 5.

[@SuziQ.]

This video is click bait. Those don’t even look like Fred and George, with the weird filters. I thought they were Molly’s twin brothers, the Prewitts. I can’t stand videos like this one.

[@ruud9761]

Still. Putting someone in a broken magical object not knowing what the consequence will be, to me, seems more problematic than putting someone into a working or broken magical object knowing exactly what the consequence will be. Also, "not intending to” gets you far but rarely absolves you complete from a crime. "I did not intend for him to die in a car crash when forcing him to drive a broken car" really wouldn't hold up.

[@MythStarFire]

@@ruud9761 it wasn’t the nicest thing to do, but it was a bit of self defense, especially when you remember all the evil tortures Umbridge used on students. Fred and George had already been hit with her cruelty, so I can say I blame them all that much. Shove an evil bully into a broke object to prevent yourself for getting some unknown evil punishment. If someone attacks you, you have the right to defend yourself. Umbridge was looking for any excuse to attack Harry and his friends.

[@1993digifan]

@@MythStarFire Their reasoning was losing a points for the stupid house contest. That is the MOST stupid and pathetic reasons for wanting to see what random harm can be done to a person by trapping them in a magical object. Then again they tried to trap Percy in an allegedly de-cursed pyramid so it is RIGHT up their alley for wanting to harm if not kill a person for stupid reasons.

The Gaunt shack should have been in the movies. Instead of all the teenage romance. They should have given Voldy’s past more attention.

[@sophieirwin3497]

When Harry used the cruciatus curse, it was when the Carrows' went to attack McGonagall. I think that really made an affect on Harry - it's not a darker trait per se, but more from protecting a maternal figure who has protected Harry for many years. The enjoyment of doing it, like with Bellatrix, is what makes it dark. There is an element of human Psyche that they do things that are perceived dark out of love or protection of a person or thing. I mean, who hasn't thought 'I'd kill anyone who'd hurt my mum/child/beloved pet'?

[@trendloe]

When Harry reacted to Minervabeing spat on like that, JK Rowling made a lot of people feel very good about where she took Harry.

[@LordWyatt]

Agreed. It’s like watching Anakin break down after his mother dies in front of him after a month of torture, just hoping to see him one last time. I’d bet most people criticizing it would go apeshit (unless their mother was terrible lmao)

[@samcotten2485]

I think it still clearly qualifies as a dark moment, though. He’s quite literally using an unforgivable curse which is dark magic by definition. If somebody spat on you in the real world and you tortured them you would go to “Azkaban.”

[@sophieirwin3497]

@@samcotten2485 That's why I compared it to killing someone in the real world. Like most people generally don't go round wanting to kill or torture someone, but everyone can have that out of character moment. It is dark, but for most people it's triggered by something bad, not just enjoyment.

I probably should have worded it a tad bit better

[@horseradishpower9947]

@robertritter8444 it was an inkling, an ember. Had Peter lived, he might have had a slow path to redemption. I don't think he was ever particularly heroic, just eager to be at the seat of power, whatever it may be. He had a weak character.

[@bernicequigley4629]

Hermione should have taken Rita the beetle to the ministry and turned her in. Whatever happened to her after that would have been well deserved

[@James-zo1uy]

She should have done that after order of the phoenix, because of Hermione threatening Rita Skeeter they brought out Harry's story about how Voldemort returned to the public through the quibbler. Because it was Rita Skeeter that interviewed him (basically a very well known writer for the daily prophet) more people started to believe harry's side of the story which was essential for both parents and students to prepare against voldemort.

[@Winters.C]

To me Hermione’s was much intentional than the twins and she probably knew something bad could have happened to Rita in there for so long. But really, she was just a child upset at Rita’s threats/behavior when it comes down to it.

[@alicekudasai50]

Doesn't anyone listen to Hermione when she talks about "Hogwarts: A history"? It's impossible to apparate or diapparate within the castle and grounds of Hogwarts school. Therefore Montague could not have disapparated from the vanishing cabinet and apparated into the sewers of Hogwarts School. It was an inconsistency in writing on Rowling's part. Like when she refers to Myrtle's 'U bend' one year and as an 'S bend' in another.

[@farfaraway4285]

With Barty Crouch Jr. it wasn’t immediately obvious that he is guilty, at his first trial. JK left it to the reader to make up their own mind. It made his story even darker. Until the end, when he really confirmed that he is a psychopath indeed.

[@Skylight2423]

You didn’t mention what happened to the muggles at the World Cup. They didn’t just lift them in the air. As Ron said, “that’s sick.” They lulled the kids heads back and forth as it seemed they were unconscious and the worst of all is what they did to their mother. They flipped them upside down and lifted her skirt to flash everyone her underwear. She struggled to pull her skirt down while the death eaters watched and laughed

crucial detail

[@LAZERAK47V2]

It really speaks to how loving Molly is that her greatest fear is the death of her family. Most people who face a Boggart in the Harry Potter series has it take on a fear that affects only them. Ron's afraid of spiders, Neville's afraid of Snape, Lupin's afraid of the full moon (one could argue that Lupin was afraid of what he'd do as a werewolf, but in that instance, I would think the Boggart would take on his werewolf appearance) and Harry's afraid of fear itself (the loss of his courage). Molly's fear, on the other hand, was for the sake of others. Also, Molly's fears create a feeling of despair rather than terror. She doesn't flee or cower. She succumbs to hopelessness. It was a really tragic and sad moment in the books.

•Neville’s mum passing secret info to Neville via the chewing gum wrappers. Does Neville’s mum chew gum while in the hospital? •Plot hole? The Crouch Kaban swap. 1)Did Mrs. Crouch die before the polyjuice prion wore off or did she die looking like her son? 2)Did Barty Sr continue to give Mrs Crouch polyjuice potion every time he visited her or did she have a lifetime supply? 3)What would happen if the polyjuice potion wore off? Would the whole Crouch family been put in Azkaban? 4)How did they pull off the swap without getting caught? I know they probably used the invisibility cloak. But wouldn’t visitors to Azkaban have leave their personal items with the guards of Azkaban before entering Azkaban? Or are visitors allowed to bring anything into Azkaban. Especially with Government privilege? 5)Why was Mr and Mrs Crouch allowed to visit Crouch jr in Azkaban? Government privilege? 6)Did Mr Crouch use Government privilege to get him and his sick wife into Abakan. Plus smuggle in the polyjuice potion and invisibility cloak? Why was Mrs. Crouch allowed in when she was ill? Government privilege? Or the guards of Azkaban don’t care if the prisoners get sick?

[@craxd1]

When thinking of Winky and Dobby, if we keep to true lore, it's the House Elf (Brownie or Hob) that selects the family they'll serve, not the wizard selecting the elf. I imagine that in both cases, it was a huge shock that they were both treated the way they were, especially in Dobby's case, after the fact.

[@JamesDavy2009]

The movie actually does give the impression Neviles parents are alive. Bellatrix actually says to him hows mum and dad, why would she say that unless they're alive.

[@magicpyroninja]

Winky was supposed to be a contrast against the Dobby during the whole house Elf liberation part of the story where Hermione was trying to get the house selves freedom She wants to free the house elves so that they don't get stuck serving under terrible Masters. But even if their masters are terrible, some of them cannot even live with themselves. Unless they're employed like that. She wants to free them from what she perceives as suffering but they don't see it that way to a lot of them. She's trying to take away their reason for living and their happiness Dobby is an oddball and generally enjoys his freedom and didn't like working as a servant Whereas winky didn't get a choice and was fired and is barely able to operate on any kind of normal level

[@Stempelkind]

Bertha Jorkins didnt just spill the beans about the triwizard tournament. She was too curious for her own good and very nosy plus also a little simple minded. She visited Barty Crouch Sr. and discovered that he was hiding his son. Barty Crouch Sr. used a memory spell on her to make her forget that. And that is the memory charm that Voldemort broke which made her go insane and the led to her murder. But because of that information Voldemort contacted Barty Crouch Jr.

[@alexpotter9401]

I’m pretty sure at least one of the reasons they didn’t include these was to keep a pg/pg-13 rating.

[@tamakunminnip2117]

Considering. That 'Grimlin's' and 'Indiana Jones and The Tmple of Doom' movie are both true examples of PG-13( though both were rated PG uponrelease), even if they'd kept these dark moments in the movies. They still would've had a PG-13 rating. The Harry Potter books matured with the audience. But the filmmakers apparently still wanted to ensure that kids who were at the age range for the first book could still watch the last movie. That's what I think for the reasons that they kept some of this stuff out anyway.

His father literally mentally abused him he was so evil. He got the ending he deserved. It made sense to cut Bertha Jorkins out. The only thing they needed to do is to say what happened to her in details and that's it. Overall cutting most of these moments was a severe crime against the books.

This is brilliant! To me, most of what Harry learns through memories in the pensieve about Voldemort, was really dark. Including the whole thing about the Gaunt family and awful treatment of Merope. Although, I don't think that Harry realising how to use an unforgivable curse meant that he had turned dark, because even the best and nicest people in the world have some tendancy towards destructiveness. The trick is in mastery of it, which Harry was beginning to learn.

[@TedBarton91]

You failed to mention that the reason Harry was able to use the Cruciatus curse the second time is because Amycus spat in the face of Mcgonagall. Someone Harry had a massive amount of respect for. I feel it’s needed, as I don’t agree it shows a “dark” side of him as you put it, making him sound slightly evil beneath the surface. What he showed is in all humans

[@TedBarton91]

[@SomeGuyWhoPlaysGames333]

Here’s another dark book only moment from Chamber of Secrets. Ch. 13: “I wish I knew why someone did try to chuck it,” said Harry. “I wouldn’t mind knowing how Riddle got an award for special services to Hogwarts either.” “Could’ve been anything,” said Ron. “Maybe he got thirty O.W.L.s or saved a teacher from the giant squid. Maybe he murdered Myrtle; that would’ve done everyone a favor. . . .” According to Ron, Moaning Myrtle deserved to be murdered simply because she was “annoying….”

I agree. Rita was lucky because I would of kept her in the jar all summer.

Seems you’re missing Tom Riddle Sr’s kidnapping and repeated grape by Merope Gaunt. That’s really dark stuff, no?

[@SivilCervant]

Omg I forgot about that 😂😂😂 those love potions man

[@porfiriodiazcarrillo7551]

the even darkest parts is that Greyback was gaycoded, so he being a predator, specially for children, is even more disturbing and hurtfull. also the fact that the werewolf virus was based on HIV, something that JKR has comfirmed herself. the fact that the Deadthly Hollows`s simbol was the wizarding world`s zwastika; that was the reason Krumb lashed out on Mr Lovegood at BIll and Fleur`s wedding. and then complitly brushed off when Dumbledore made Harry choose between becomin a thyrant worse than Voldemort or keep the status quo. the fact that nothing changed after Voldemort`s defeat. everything went to normal, just with out the potential treath of an evil uprising. there still exist class divide, house elves`s slavery and goverment corruption. the crimes of the elite deatheaters were unpunished. there were little to no consequences for the Malfoy family, at all.

[@Aufsammelkabbler]

Yeah, that in the end not much changed is one of the darkest and more realistic parts of the story. I like happy endings as much as anyone else but oftentimes it seems contrived that every injustice is resolved and from now on there is no more discrimination, hatred and corruption in the world. That is not how societies work. If for example the house elves were a big player in voldemorts defeat and tried to leverage this earned respect and goodwill to better their position it could be possible that for example their situation would have changed. Is that in line with what we know what the house elves would most likely do in such an scenario? Definitely not. It is also quite likely that Voldemorts second rise to power even worsened the racism against Werewolves and giants for example since again, some of them fought for the dark lord. It wouldn‘t be realistic that suddenly all the racism vanished and would in my opinion even disregard the actual hard fights activists and human rights movements endured in our world, which makes it shallow at best. As a side note: the werewolf curse in Harry potter is really not different in what it does to what you would expect from 99% of fantasy novels. I do not think that it is wise to throw all forms of infectious curses or infectious evil entities under the „This is an HIV allegory and therefore problematic“ bus. This lashing out just provokes simple fans of the genre to see themselves or things they love as under attack.

[@Corridor3000]

​@@Aufsammelkabblerto your side note...JK Rowling confirmed that Lupin's lycanthropy was meant to be a metaphor for HIV

[@aboveaverageazzuen2684]

Yeah... Grayback and the werewolves are absolutely gay coded. And I'm pretty sure back in the 70's "werewolf" was a anti gay slur used to describe POS men. Fun fact Rita Skeeter was also supposed to be an aligory for Transgender people

[@GnomeChumpski-lv5vv]

Hopefully the HBO remakes won't be as bad as the Amazon's Lord of the rings series

[@haleemasadia4514]

The reason Ron summoned the brains towards him was actually because he'd been hit by dark curse which made black blood tickle out of his mouth and nose. Follow by a confondus spell. Some people take this scene out of context and use it to demonstrate their 'theory' of how Ron was too stupid or entirely unnecessary part of the trio. Honestly!

[@umniya3076]

I was waiting for the one where the Weasley twins quite literally beat Ron's pet puffskein to death for sports and giggles.

A technical suggestion: adjust your audio settings for less low end and more high end and speak further away from the mic.

[@kat.d.clysmic]

It's been years since I've read the books, so I'm rereading them on Chamber of Secrets. But the fact that they changed Harry's character so much makes me mad, as a writer. I wonder how JKR felt. Because Harry seems so human. I get he's supposed to be the MC and light of the world in midst of darkness yada yada, but they took away that he's so human, to be able to be angry, he should be frustrated and angry, he had his childhood taken from him and his parents and the godfather. I'd be pissed at the world too!

Peeves shows up in all the harry potter games. And the good lord knows how annoying he was.

[@baldrian22]

Lets see the cabinet. if i remember correctly the cabinet was broken afther the twins pushed him inside by the poltergist droping it (headless nick convinced him to do it and the reason why nick did it was to distract ubridge and the cartaker because she was attempting to use the truth serum on him, this was not known but nick knew harry had not done anything and wanted to get him out of that room and was probably aware what she had been doing while dumbledoor was stil at the school and was afraid what she might do to harry with dumbldedoor no longer at the school. the inquisitor thingy was revealed the morning or later in the day the day afther dumbledoor was forced to leave the school and the twins said they pushed the guy inside and the cabinet would have been destroyed afther that unless i remember wrongly.

Wasnt the torture of the Roberts family covered in the movie but just not clearly referenced?(Like it happened but wasnt explained?)

I certainly hope so!

[@lorddata2472]

That would be delicious.

[@Eliezar18]

If they do the TV version right, they'll make them hour-long episodes and twelve episode seasons, with each season covering a book. That should be more than enough time to properly cover everything. And if they are **really** thinking ahead, each season will be filmed over the course of a school year, and released over the summer, to properly maintain actor age continuity, and also make sure the scores of child actors they'll be working with are bringing their A game, instead of trying to rush them through filming.

[@cfrench61995]

The moment where Harry used the torture curse came after the Carrie brother spit on Minerva mcgonagall. He whipped off the cloak of invisibility, tortured him, and Minerva yelled out potter! you shouldn’t have done that! And he just responded, but he spat at you. 😍

The thumbnail 🤣🤣🤣

[@JennyShull]

Molly’s Bogart foreshadowed Fred’s death and Harry’s death and Arthur’s near Death (unless that bogart was seen by Molly after Arthur was attacked by Nagini in the Department of Mysteries.)?

[@coreyleander7911]

I definitely dont agree Fred and George locking him in the vanishing cabinet amounted to torture. I notice that when the "good guys" do something harsh but justified the general public comes down extremely hard on the character. When Dumbledore "requires" Snape's allegiance to protect Lily with the Fidelius Charm, people call Dumbledore manipulative. It's actually striking

[@robertmartin4449]

The twins tossed a kid into the vanishing cabinet. He went missing and they didn’t care at all. But that’s ok, they were kinda funny….. sometimes

[@milissajacobs6328]

Filch was a squib, his parents were magical and he was not. I think that Harry's Aunt Petunia was one also. It's why she was so butthurt about magic in general.

The worst part is that to most of us who are watching this, we already already know 99%-100% of all this. Know I'm not alone with these books being a comfort space.

It is not meaningless, though. It paints a realistic picture of corruption and what happens to whistle blowers who seek to expose it.
