Now I Hate HARRY POTTER

[@jaunbeltza7661]

Fun fact: As a potion's master Snape always wrote down the instructions on the blackboard instead of using a standard textbook as Slughorn does. That implies that Snape is actually teaching his students the absolute best methods to brew potions, and that could be the reason Hermione starts to struggle at that class in 6th year, because Slughorn just tells them to follow the instructions in the book.

[@vonricter222]

I hadn’t thought of that but it makes a lot of sense. Snape really excelled at potions

He expected just directions to work for 11 year olds so he doesn't tell them anything else

Does he ever write anything down though? Since Harry didn't recognize his handwriting in the book. Or is that just another plothole?

And a few basic grade 1 spells she's about to do in a month anyway the ministry probably didn't think it was of any serious consequence with her parents there. Muggle or not. The magic books go into detail of how you're supposed to pronounce, and flick the wand to do it correctly, and those grade 1 low level spells don't have any nasty accidental possibilities.

[@pantsonparade]

@@Cramblit You cannot perform magic outside Hogwarts until you are of age. There are work arounds such as in a home with magical parents because they cannot tell who did the spell.

Answers to a few things you were confused about: - Yes, that's Fred & George's store, and one fun fact from the books is that, IIRC, they opened up that shop with Harry's Triwizard Tournament winnings that he gave them. - Dumbledore's hand isn't dirty towards the end of the movie. His hand was black the entire year, due to a *thrilling tale* as he points out in the beginning. - As far as we know so far, Snape keeps trying to help Draco due to the Unbreakable Curse Bellatrix casts in the beginning, as Snape promises Draco's mom. - That big ass bird in the end was Fawkes, Dumbledore's phoenix that came into the Chamber of Secrets to help Harry.

As a side note Snape had to kill Dumbledore because in order to use the killing curse you have to really mean it.

[@Density13]

As the movie reveals, the book Harry had was Snapes from when he was a student and Snape created several spells as a student at Hogwarts, (7 in total which is impressive because even inventing ONE spell is extremely difficult). The curse Harry used, Sectumsempra was one of them, and Snape is the only person who knew how to counter/heal the curse. That's why Snape showing up to heal Draco was fortunate, else Draco would most certainly have died. Also, a bit of back story, Snape adopted the monicker The Half-Blood Prince because his father (who was abusive and whom he hated) was a muggle (non-magic person) and his mother was a witch, so he was a "half-blood". A fun fact, in the scene where Ron is in the infirmary and Dumbledore tells Professor Slughorn that he should be proud for teaching Harry, you can see Snape and Harry "trade" looks. The reason being is because Snape was the one who told the student's (including Harry) that a Bezoar can save the life of someone who's been poisoned in one of the earlier movies.

[@Shap0o.PlayZz]

Very true, I hope Alex reads these. For his betterment of knowledge regarding Harry Potter. And yeah, harry knew to give the bezoar to Ron, from reading the half blood prince's book as well. Obviously Snape had written it there.

[@AndyJinxAgain]

Perfect comment, the only thing i would add is that "prince" is not because of royalty, is not like princess, it is actually his mothers family name. He would be "severus prince", but as they adopt the dad's name most the time, he is "severus snape"

[@toodlescae]

Snape also invented the Levicorpus spell we saw James use on him in the memory last year. That means someone had to have seen Snape use it on someone first.

Pretty sure the Bezoar was the very first potion class. Spoiler from book below (in case people wanna read it for the first time) . . . . . . Harry also presented a Bezoar in one of Slughorn's class when they were suppose to identify the poison and brew an antidote , as a test, which Harry couldn't do because all he had done in the Potions class was follow instructions from the HBP.

That's why he is the only person that Voldemort fears, he's extremely intelligent and extremely powerful and the potion didn't weaken him it forced him to relive his most traumatizing memories, which is why he was yelling kill me when he was drinking the potion is because he was asking Grindelwald to kill him instead of his sister because his sister died at a young age during a duel between the two

[@islaythejabberwokky]

I appreciate the complexity of Draco's character so much, because he's in such a gray area; in this book/film in particular it breaks the assumptions that there's good and bad, and clear-cut sides that these characters are on. Draco is a product of his upbringing; spoiled rotten, growing up always being told that he's so much more superior than everyone else due to blood status and social status, having that expectation to uphold his family name as being the best of the best. He's incredibly smart and a naturally talented wizard, and he gets praise for that (part of why he bullies Hermione in particular so much is because not only is she Muggleborn and therefore "inferior", but she's top of her class and even more successful in school than *him...* big oof to his pride and his desire to impress his parents, I'm sure). As is the nature of most school bullies, his behavior towards other students is borne from his own insecurity and the fact that his family seemingly values power, success, and status more than him as a person. Draco isn't evil, he's a victim of his circumstances, scared and powerless to escape. What's great about his character, too, is that at the end of the day, being a victim still doesn't automatically make him a good person. He's still very much defined by his choices. It's a very realistic take on the trope of school-bully-turned-pity-party.

And another thing from the story books is, that of another memory (if I am not mistaken) why Tom riddle is the way he is, he can't feel love, he can't have that emotion. His mom (a witch) actually gave love potions to his dad (a muggle) and conceived Tom. Tom was born during that time, and as the potion worn off, Tom's dad didn't love the mom back as she would hope. The love potion is a fake love, and Tom was born out of fake love. This is the primary reason why he can't feel any love in his heart. He was a result of a fake love, a darn chemical formula 😢

Okay, Alex, now some key points for you from the comics/story book. There is a reason why Defense against the dark arts teachers are always leaving by the end of the year due to some or other things happening or some mischief etc. In the book, there were several other memories that Dumbledore shared with Harry regarding Voldemort. And one of them was, when Voldemort came looking for a job at Hogwarts. He wanted the Defense against the dark arts post at Hogwarts. Unfortunately for him, he got rejected by Dumbledore for the position. Voldemort took out his wand at that time, and he hexed the position. He put a curse out on the subject, and since that day, Professors who opted to teach Defense against the dark arts leave every school year. 😮😢

Professor Dumbledore's death was one of the most traumatic for Harry to witness.

One thing that is a bit of a shame is that they didn't include all of the memories that Dumbledore had about Voldemort. The ones that they didn't include are as follows; 1. A Ministry official visiting Voldemort's mother's family, the Gaunts, in their run down shack of a home, where you see that Voldemort's grandfather Marvolo (Voldemort's middle name) and his uncle Morfin are both crazed and inbred muggle haters who regularly speak to snakes, and that Voldemort's mother Merope was severely abused and that she ran away with a handsome Muggle man named Tom Riddle by bewitching him with a love potion. He later abandons her and she dies in the orphanage giving birth to Voldemort. 2. Voldemort at the age of 16 visiting his Uncle Morfin and framing him for the murders of Voldemort's muggle father and muggle grandparents that very night. (Their abandoned manor house is the one that Voldemort was hiding in at the beginning of Goblet of Fire, where he killed the old caretaker) 3. A young Voldemort in his 20's working at the dark wizard shop Borgin's and Burkes after Hogwarts, and while visiting a rich witch named Hepzibah Smith finding that she had a magical goblet that belonged to Helga Hufflepuff, as well as a locket that had belonged to Salazar Slytherin, an object that belonged to Voldemort's mother before she pawned it. That night, Hepzibah is killed by Voldemort by bewitching her house elf to poison her drink, and he steals the cup and locket. 4. Voldemort in the 1960's, visiting Hogwarts to ask for a job as Defense Against the Darks Arts teacher, only for Dumbledore to suspect that Voldemort only wants the job to recruit followers. After rejecting Voldemort for the job, no teacher has lasted more than a year at the job, as it is now cursed out of spite by Voldemort's hand.

14:30 Aside from it being so difficult only true Potion Master could do it and even them having a hard time not killing themselves trying, there are multiple more reasons given in the books: 1. It is illegal in almost all circumstances you would want to use it. 2. Regular or high consumption causes painful death Additionally, think about it logically: If everybody could (and would) use it all the time, what consequences would it have? 1. Would you want to if you cannot guarentee you caused a single of your achievements? If everything you managed in life is most likely because of a potion and no guarentee that you could do it without? You end up with most of the population having imposter syndrom. It would be a mental health infrastructure disaster! 2. Considering how often someone's success has to do with someone else's failure, the potion would cancel each other out.

In the book Harry really gives it to Slughorn, and says he's a disgrace to Lily's memory if I remember correctly. Such a powerful passage. - How the Weasley brothers open their shop, they actually drop out of school without finishing exams after the deal with Umbridge, They get the Tri Wizard prize money from Harry to open their shop. Just a small detail, but I like it and hate that it isn't included. Loving the reactions though. Will patiently wait for the next one.

The last two movies are fantastic, because unlike the prior ones that crammed everything from each book into a couple of hours, the final book is given room to breathe because it's split into 2 movies. Thanks for your reactions -- they're excellent!

I am glad you like the movies. They are quite good. I do have to say that you really need to take the time and read the entire series of books. You were correct thinking they contain more back story for many things. For example of missing content. The Order of the Phoenix is the longest book in the series by far and it is also the shortest movie. They cut a ton of content out of it to make it fit into the one movie. Keep up the good work and stay happy :)

100%. I’ve read and re-read those books more than any others. The movies are fun, but I never understood how people who just watched the movie understood anything.

Draco has always been my favorite character in a less magic way I always related to him the most. Harry was the chosen one, he was loved by everyone and popular in school. Malfoy was raised in an abusive and racist family trying to keep up with his family's high expectations, seeking their love. He had no real friends in school ever, no one he could trust with his real feelings. He told himself he was chosen when in reality he never had a choice. This is my favorite movie because it shows exactly that. Draco is not the asshole Kid anymore he is a vulnerable character with depth and I love how Tom was able to portray that. The scene on the Tower has me crying like a baby every time.

Actually it's funny how similar Draco and Harry are in a weird way. Maybe in another life they could've been friends and healed together.

😂His family is not racist

@@x.mono.x4011 No? How else would you describe murdering people because of their ancestry? If Voldemort isn't havently influenced by Hitler then I don't know

The “Big Ass Bird” at the very end was Fawkes, the Phoenix. Very big in Chamber of Secrets and in one particular scene in Order Of The Phoenix
