[@christophersudbrink4946]

I agree with Minerva there. Harry is a boy, he’s not supposed to raised as livestock. Only showcases just how bad dividing one’s soul is. Though of course Voldemort does not care, he was born under a love potion because of a desperate woman infatuated with a man who had no interest in her. Therefore he has no concept of love and is heartless. That is what makes Voldemort evil, he has no concept of love.

[@Hannah12306]

I love that line

[@invisiblemann1756]

@@christophersudbrink4946 JK Rowling said countless times that the love potion part is nothing but ironic metaphor. Voldemort could feel love, he actually loved himself and called Nagini his friend because she was part of him afterall. He could be good and he choosed not to be. It's emphasized over and over in the HP universe that your choices is what matters and what makes you the person you are, not the circumstances you were born into. If JK doomed Voldemort into not feeling love from his birth, then that would pretty much sabotage the purpose of the story

What I love about mcgonagall is when she stood up for Neville. His grandmother told him herbology was for sissies but Prof Mcgonagall encouraged Neville and told him to tell his grandma that just because she flunked it back in the day, doesn't mean it's low level. Now that's a teacher.

[@mina5532]

@@lol-sg9yy basically it means cowardly babies

[@SelvenXXUP]

@@lol-sg9yy pretty much, but I don't think that's the opinion of junalyntorrion2676. But that basically, Neville's grandmother had basically told him that a career in herbology was bellow him, and that he had to aim for a manly man job, like being an auror. Now, that's not exactly right, because if I remember correctly, Neville's mother was also an auror. But, the way Neville acts throughout the books, and how his grandmother humilates him or congratulates him depending on if he's being sensitive or assertive does fit the idea that Neville was held to a toxic standard of what a man is. Luckily, perhaps because his parents weren't entirely gone, and probably thanks to him knowing about them and what they had done from an early age, he became a different short of man. With burning fire that was always kept under control. I hadn't really thought about it until this video, but I guess Neville's literally the proverbial warrior in a garden instead of the gardener in war.

[@EliseHanson216]

I ALWAYS tear up at the moment in Deathly Hallows when Harry attacks Amycus Carrow because he spat at McGonagall. “It’s not a case of what you’ll permit, Minerva McGonagall. Your time’s over. It’s us what’s in charge here now, and you’ll back me up or you’ll pay the price.” And he spat in her face. Harry pulled the Cloak off himself, raised his wand, and said, “You shouldn’t have done that.” As Amycus spun around, Harry shouted, “Crucio!” The Death Eater was lifted off his feet. He writhed through the air like a drowning man, thrashing and howling in pain, and then, with a crunch and a shattering of glass, he smashed into the front of a bookcase and crumpled, insensible, to the floor. “I see what Bellatrix meant,” said Harry, the blood thundering through his brain, “you need to really mean it.” “Potter!” whispered Professor McGonagall, clutching her heart. “Potter- you’re here! What-? How-?” She struggled to pull herself together. “Potter, that was foolish!” “He spat at you,” said Harry.

Indeed. McGonagall is smart, sharp, independent, good hearted, and fierce. She’d outduel Severus Snape in a heartbeat. Forget that his mother was a bookworm and that he had a penchant for dark magic. McGonagall is much older then Snape, and thus with age comes experience. She has more tricks up her sleeves then the little oddball up to his eyes in dark magic.

For me, the thing that hurts my heart the most about McGonagall is that she was the one who had the most gut wrenching scream when she saw Harry's dead body. Not Ron, not Hermione, not any one of his other friends/classmates, but MINERVA FREAKING MCGONAGALL.

[@ironguanyin123]

She loved him, she watched for him for all those years, since he was a baby. She was always his guardian, kind of a godmother in a way. She did everything to encourage him, to support him. After Dumbledore, her most trusted friend died, she put all her hopes in Harry, I guess most of the wizarding world did, too. Obviously that's not true in the books, but in the film it shows how righteous she was, how she wanted Harry to save the wizarding world, and how much she loved him.
