You're correct in thinking the actor playing Dumbledore was different. In the first 2 movies Dumbledore was played by Richard Harris. Unfortunately, he passed away. From movie 3 onward it's played by Michael Gambon who unfortunately passed away 3 weeks ago.

Sadly, how Sirius escaped, was only explained in the books (in which we also find out that Harry's dad, Sirius and Peter became shapeshifters to be with Remus when he turns into a werewolf, and they wrote the magical map too), but Sirius escaped by turning into a dog and get through the bars of his cell. His motivation to break out was a newspaper article (he got the paper from the minister of magic, who pays visits to askaban sometimes) in which he saw a picture of the Weasley and recognized the rat on Ron's shoulder as his old friend, and he was afraid Peter could harm harry. Dementors can't see, they felt Sirius' thoughts becoming "simpler" when he was a dog and they thought he became mad and faded, like all the other prisoners. Askaban is on an island, so as a dog, he swam to the shore. As a dog, nobody was able to find him, because Peter, James and Sirius became Animagus in secret (it is somewhat illegal to do it without the ministry knowing what form you take when shape-shifting). Also, James was able to turn into a Stack: his and Harry's patronus. Lily's was a deer, fitting James'.

[@LaurinGarcia]

One of the things that was left out of the movie but was in The Prisoner of Azkaban novel is that James Potter (Harry's father), Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew were the original inventors of The Marauders Map. That is the reason why Professor Lupin knew how to use it. When the original Marauders were students in Hogwarts they were all best friends. When James, Sirius and Peter found out that Remus is a werewolf they decided to become Animagus (wizards that can willfully magically turn into an animal just like Professor McGonagall can turn into a cat) because werewolves don't attack other animals and Remus' friends didn't want him to be alone during the full moon period. This is why the map reveals the weird names when you use the "I solemnly swear I am up to no good" spell. They were the nicknames of the Marauders. Mooney is Remus Lupin because he is a werewolf. Padfoot is Sirius Black because his animagus form is a dog. Wormtail is Peter Pettigrew because his animagus form is a rat. And James Potter is Prongs because his animagus form is a stag. Dumbledore knew about Remus' condition and how Remus became a werewolf when he was only a very small child. So he had the Womping Willow tree planted and had a tunnel put in so that Remus can hide in the Shrieking Shack during the full moon cycle. 🌜🌕🌛🐺🐶🦌🐀🪄🌳🏚

[@fatbennymac7357]

Clearing some things up at the end… Lupin was not helping Sirius into the school, they were best mates from school, but Lupin thought Sirius was guilty all the way up until Peter surfaced on the map. He was actually heartbroken for 12 years thinking one of his best friends (Sirius) had betrayed his other two best friends and murdered them (Peter and James). The marauders map was made by Lupin, Peter, Sirius, and James when they were at school. They were Moony (Lupin), Wormtail (Peter), Padfoot (Sirius), and Prongs (James). Peter was absolutely in the thick of the friend group and it was a huge betrayal. So much is cleared up in the books. It’s amazing the movies are so good when so many more little details are glossed over from the books.

[@89gummybears]

The one movie I love and at the same time am disappointed with is "Half Blood Prince". The history of the Gaunt Family, Tom Riddleʻs evolution and the Prince stuff is so interesting and its all left out of the movie. It makes the items in movie 7 confusing if you havenʻt read the books.

[@emilythorne4119]

​@89gummybears SPOILERS: to me, half-blood prince is the worst movie because of how much they left out of the books. It missed the whole story of the prophecy and how Neville could've been the chosen one and how Harry only had the power to defeat Voldemort because Voldemort chose to go after Harry, therefore choosing him as his equal. The backstory of the Gaunt family, Tom Riddle Sr., Tom Jr. applying at Hogwarts, and so much more was sooo good in the book but gone in the movie. Not to mention Harry and Ginny's relationship was so much better in the book. They took a book full of rich and enticing backstory and made a movie of cringy teenage drama and half-explained plot lines. HBP is my favourite book and least favourite movie. I will never not be salty about it 😂

[@dansharp2860]

@@emilythorne4119 They made a teenage romance movie out of a book that could be best summed up as: Know thy enemy 🤦

[@PeacockJac]

@@emilythorne4119 I am 100% in agreement with you that it is the best book but worst movie. The end sums it all up for me. I don't mind movies taking liberties. They have to condense so much down. And their decision to only include stuff about Harry in the movies makes sense. However, you still have to keep the characters and their personalities the same. SPOILERS!!!! For the movie to not have Harry frozen at the end... I will never get over that. Goes against his entire personality to just wait there willingly while everything unfolds. I understand some things just can't be visually represented and some things have to be cut for time. But the Snape replacement for that scene baffles me to this day.

[@Zlittlepenguin]

@@PeacockJac I’ll admit I never read the books but when I was a kid, I used to think that the 6th movie was the worst but after rewatching all the movies a little more grown up, I actually appreciate it for what it is. I guess if you’ve read the books and you know what’s missing, then it would be a drag though. The one thing that is blatantly obvious (even for me) is the “half blood prince” mystery is almost entirely glossed over, which is a shame because Harry Potter imo is at it’s best when there’s a mystery that’s slowly unravelling through the movie. Anyways, that is to say I now think the 4th movie is the worst lol up until the third act, it’s rather poorly written. Plus the characters all feel off. Especially dumbledore.

[@magicbrownie1357]

Still my favorite film in the series. Director Alfonso Cuaron did a masterful job taking this franchise into darker, more complex territory. Which is really what it needed. The addition of Gary Oldman as Sirius Black was a master stroke of casting. Brilliant!

[@rrael]

Wow I had no idea Alfonso Cuaron directed this. Children of Men is a masterpiece. He did the perfect job of transitioning the franchise. In my head I always assumed David Yates took over from this point on, cause the tone of the movies is very similar from here out.

[@bidishah]

You guys are so smart and observant, it's an absolute joy to watch you guys figure plot points out! ❤

[@frankynovotny2030]

The director Alfonso Cuaron is amazing. The camera work is brilliant, the look and feel of a more Medieval feel than the last two bright colours is perfect. The music is nice and folksy. There's a lot of style to it too, with lingering camera shots and pans in and outs, it never stops nor is it every stationary; it's a very curious camera. The colour tones are interesting too. Lastly, Alfonso captures the feel of being a young teenager and gets the cast to get a few tender moments here and there. I also love the recurring motifs of mirrors! Just so much personality to the whole film.

[@zgilly2157]

Correction: Lupin didn't help Black get into Hogwarts. Up until he found out Peter was alive he believed Black really had betrayed James and Lilly.

[@grey154]

Prisoner of Azkaban is widely regarded as the best Harry Potter "film". The directing, cinematography, acting, is all top notch.

[@Prodrummer1603]

The movie really just didn't explain enough about what happened between the Lupin, the Potters, Sirius and Peter Pettigrew. The Potters went into hiding from Voldemort with the Fidelius Charm. Dumbledore offered to be the secret keeper but James felt it would be an insult not to trust his own friends (Remus, Sirius and Peter). He picked Sirius who was his best friend. But Sirius convinced James to select Peter instead, because Voldemort would never suspect Peter to be the secret keeper. Peter was considered the weak link in their group. Nobody but James, Lilly, Sirius and Peter knew that the Secret keeper was changed at the last moment. Even Dumbledore thought that Sirius would be the secret keeper. Peter betrayed the Potters. He was already the spy for Voldemort inside the Order of the Phoenix. Once Sirius found out that the James and Lily were dead he instantly knew that Peter must betrayed them. So he went looking for him. Peter, once confronted staged his own death by creating a big explosion, killing 12 muggles and cutting his own finger to leave proof behind that he was indeed dead and transformed into a rat. Sirius was found at the crime scene, laughing and the ministry thought that he killed Peter Pettigrew and the muggles and was immediately sent to Askaban, without even a trial. 13 years later, when Sirius saw the picture in the Daily Prophet showing the Weasley's in Egypt, he recognized Ron's rat as Peter and he knew that the real betrayer was still alive. The information about Peters whereabouts and knowing that he could prove his innocent helped him to transform into the black dog. The ministry did not know that otherwise they might have guarded him better. The Dementors didn't notice the change either. Because Sirius was so skinny even as a dog he manged to slip through the bars. He swam all the way to the mainland (Askaban is on an island) and confronted Harry at the beginning of the movie. When Harry took the Knightbus he moved to Hogsmeade and tried to enter the castle using one of the secret passage ways to find Ron's rat and reveal the truth. Hermiones new cat instantly knew that Ron's rat was not a rat at all but a human being. That's why she always attacked the rat. The cat even befriended Sirius in his form as black dog and both worked together and tried to reveal the truth about Ron's rat. In the book Peter faked his death a second time but was later found by Hagrid. When the three visited Hagrid, he revealed the rat to Ron. At the same time Lupin looked at the map and saw that Harry, Ron and Hermione entered Hagrid's hut but left it with another person (Peter). This was the moment were Lupin realized that Peter was still alive and that Sirius probably was innocent and framed for the betrayal and murder. The moment when Harry saw Peter Pettigrew on the map never happend in the books. It was an invention of the movies. My theory is that only a member of the Marauders (James, Peter, Lupin or Sirius) could see each other on the map. For others they were hidden. Because you have to wonder: Why did Fred and George never realize, that Ron slept with another person (Peter) in his bed ? :D Some background information: Lupin's father one day insulted Greyback, a vicious werewolf and so Greyback attacked Lupin as punishment. Lupin's parents tried everything but there was no cure. As a werewolf Lupin had a terrible childhood, being a lonely child and having no friends whatsoever. It was even unsure if he would ever be accepted at Hogwarts. But luckily Dumbledore was headmaster and he was open minded. He allowed Lupin to come to the school with certain precautions. Lupin was sorted into Gryffindor and became friends of James, Sirius and Peter. To make sure that Lupins condition would not be a danger to other students, Dumbledore installed the Whomping Willow (the big tree) guarding a secret passage to the Shrieking Shack. Lupin would go there at full-moon to transform into a werewolf. Having no one to bite or attack Lupin had to injure himself. The screams were so loud that all the inhabitants of Hogsmeade were terrified by the noises and thought that the Shrieking Shack was haunted. Lupin was so ashamed by his condition that he never told his friends, fearing that they would leave him once they knew. But in the end they found out anyway and were super open minded about that.They wanted to help Lupin. So they became Animagi, which meant that they could transform into animals (Sirius = Black Dog, James = Stag, Peter = Rat). But they did this without informing anyone. Usually you have to register at the ministry. As animals they could accompany Lupin. Werewolves only attack Humans, not animals. And as a black dog and stag Sirius and James could control Lupin.

[@fireidar]

Harry's power is emotion-based (hence 'blowing up' his aunt without a wand), the stronger he feels about something, the more he'll put into it. As for Lupin, his father worked for the Ministry, advising on Magical creatures. He was their expert. One day a group of hobos were brought in in suspicion of the murder of two children. Hidden among them was a werewolf called Fenrir Greyback. Fenrir was skilled enough to convince the officials he was nothing but a homeless Muggle (non-magical) and they were in the process of walking him out when Lyall Lupin yelled at them that he was a werewolf. The officials laughed at him and called him crazy and in fury Lyall yelled something like werewolves were "evil, soulless, deserving nothing but death!" Once the officials got Fenrir outside they were going to wipe his memory, but Fenrir had some accomplices who helped him escape. In retaliation for Lyall's statement, Fenrir sneaked into their house during the night and mauled 4 year old Remus (the scars on his face). Lyall was able to save his son, but he was bitten and turned the next full moon. Sirius escaped by starving himself and then slipping through the bars of his cell and swimming to the coast in his dog form. As an animagus, the Dementors didn't affect him as much because an animal mind is simpler and doesn't really feel the effects of a dementor.

[@araceli2827]

For me, Lupin story is always sad...

[@fireidar]

@@araceli2827I know. The fact his parents would constantly move around from village to village to hide Remus' condition in case someone got 'suspicious' and never let him socialize meant he never had the chance to learn all those skills we learn growing up. By the time he reached Hogwarts he was painfully shy and desperate for friends. I mean the fact he first latched on to Peter before James and Sirius joined them in the compartment on the train, shows he'd turn to anyone who paid attention to him, good or bad. In a lot of ways he was similar to Peter.

[@TheR15C]

A quote from the book between Harry and Dumbledore at the very end: It was stupid, thinking it was him,' he (Harry) muttered. 'I mean, I knew he was dead.' Dumbledore says: 'You think the dead we loved ever truly leave us? You think that we don't recall them more clearly than ever in times of great trouble? Your father is alive in you, Harry, and shows himself most plainly when you have need of him. How else could you produce that particular Patronus? Prongs rode again last night.' ...

One of my favorite behind the tidbits about this movie is that the director, who is different from 1 & 2, asked the actors who play the main three characters to each write an essay about their character. Emma Watson (Hermione) wrote a huge essay and completed the assignment to the T, Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) Wrote something short and last minute, and Rupert Grint (Ron) didn't write anything lol. They clearly all knew their characters well.

[@richardfeynman4452]

Another thing from the book: Harrys parents used the Fidelius charm, as per Dumbledores recommendation, to hide there house (Only those with the secret would be able to find it), James refused Dumbledore's offer to be secret keeper due to them preferring Sirius instead. Sirius thought this was an obvious move as they were best friends, so he suggested entrusting Pettigrew with the secret, deadly mistake. When everything goes down Hagrid is the first on the scene, and then Sirius who offers to take Harry, but Hagrid refused on Dumbledores orders, so Sirus lent Hagrid his motorbike went off to track Pettigrew. The encounter went off on the street, Pettigrew claimed that Black was the traitor and then blew the whole street killing 12 muggles and leaving a severed finger behind.

[@turntsnaco824]

Harry was INCREDIBLY sassy in the books from the get-go, much like he is in this film. He's actually my favorite character in the books partly for that reason, and because he's SO nuanced and relatably imperfect, and just trying to figure out his way through life. He's not remotely a placeholder protagonist or audience surrogate; he's arguably the best and most strongly-written character in the whole series. Movie Harry is much more your typical, noble "hero" protagonist by comparison - not without his flaws, but I feel like the movies barely explore that side of him compared to the books. When it comes to stuff that got cut from the books, the focus is usually placed on subplots and backstories; but one of the big issues with adapting a series like this is that there's all these thoughts and internal monologues that Harry has, that don't make it onto the screen in ANY form - which means a TREMENDOUS amount of Harry's character is missing in the films. And so much of the story is told through the lens of his perspective in the books, that it causes the story to take a bit of a different shape in either medium. In the films, Harry just kind of seems like a well-mannered kid who obviously isn't perfect but is always trying to do the right thing. Obviously he does do some very good and heroic things that not everyone in his position would, but where that tends to be the central focus of the movies because they only have so much time to spare, Harry's heroic acts and virtuosity are just a fragment of the content in the books. The rest of it is just about his experience of life and the world around him as he grows up, including making mistakes and learning how to have relationships with others (not just romantic) - something far more relatable to most people than some righteous battle against an ultimate evil, which is why the books are so beloved.

[@Soy_boi]

As much as I love this movie, I’ve noticed that a lot of the context relies on you reading the book, this one more than the former movies. The main key with the dementors is that they are attracted to suffering, so since Harry has lived a life of abuse, they are really attracted to him and will try and snack on him any chance they get.

[@stephaniem6482]

And Ginny is also affected by them in the books since she was possessed by Tom Riddle the year before.

Sadly, that and a lot of other stuff couldn't possibly be portrayed without extending the movie, something executives would never have agreed upon for a "kids" movie, that already has a much longer runtime than usual

Lupin was turned into a Werwolf when he was still little. He could only go to hogwarts because Dumbledore planted the whomping willow over the entrance to the shed. Lupin would go there on full moon nights so he couldn’t harm anyone. Sirius, Peter and Harry’s father trained to become „illigal animagi“ ( because every animagi has to be registered at the ministery of magic and they didn’t do that) in order to turn into animals so they could stay on Lupins side because werwolves only attack humans.

[@Mic-Mak]

3:51 My favorite character by far in both the books and the films is Ron. I wish the films had given his book's character justice. They reduced his character by making him aloof and somewhat dumb, when he is anything but. Also, Ron doesn't realize it, but his family is AMAZING! Not only is Ron my favorite character, but out of the main trio, Rupert Grint has always been my favorite actor. He's the one I had the most hopes for. One of his first post-HP projects was an indie film with the actress who plays his mum in HP, called _Driving Lessons._ I really enjoyed it.

You guys mention how cool it is that Scabbers has been there from the start but that the payoff came in movie 3. I remember when reading the books how amazed I was that tiny, seemingly unimportant details, would get all tied in together in the end. And sometimes not until several books later. No lose ends whatsoever. I know that JKR is now controversial (I think she's brave to stand her ground and think she's being maligned, personally). But regardless of your politics, she's a brilliant author. The world she builds in the books I'd wonderful. There's a reason why they took off like fireworks and that they still endure.

I started watching your current video and realized, "Somehow I missed the last one! Got to rush back here and see it first." The hippogriff, like the griffon are creatures which in tales and folklore are a mixture of different animals, what makes the hippogriff and griffon similar the most is their wings, they are both basically part bird (always a bird of prey). I am less familiar with the hippogriff than the griffon, but both are majestic and powerful creatures. I am surprised by 20:21 you didn't piece together something. Your first speculation about it at 24:25, "You're catching on" Professor Lupin, fear of the full moon. Snape teaching about werewolves. Lupin, from the Latin word Lupus which means "wolf" Likewise from the same root is Lupine, which as an adjective means "wolfish" or "wolf like"

One hint that you may or may not have missed -- Lupin was friends with Harry's parents, but Snape disliked Harry's father, calling him "arrogant" and "strutting around the castle." The history is definitely *complicated*.

[@KelappanKing]

Yeah, the movie really downplayed that for some reason. Lupin, James, Sirius and Peter were best friends in school.

[@nahqiv]

@@KelappanKing it's all about the runtime. There isn't much that could have been cut from this movie to make time for that. We knew they were friends, and sadly that had to be enough for the adaptation. 2h30 for what was marketed as a kids' movie is still incredibly long

[@jacktilghman9797]

Spartan and Pudgey both on point with the guesses in this one. In hindsight, the plot of these movies is so wild it’s basically impossible to really guess long beforehand.

I get the distinct feeling they've seen it. Looks like they're feigning surprise and are able to guess a plot that is impossible to figure out.

I wish reactors would be honest because I can enjoy a reaction even from fans or those who haven't seen it since they were a kid.

[@kennethlane7645]

They dont really talk that much about it in the movies but the "Marauders" for the marauders map were Harrys' dad James, Sirius Black, Peter Petigrew and Lupin. When Lupin was a student Dumbledore knew that he was a werewolf and that on the occasion of the full moon would need to be somewhere he wouldnt be a danger to anybody. James, Sirius and Peter learned about his affliction and each became animagi so that they could stay with him during his transformations. They would move him stealthily through the castle through a secret underground tunnel that came up under what would later become known as the shrieking shack. The reason it got it's name is from all the howls and roars and other caucophony of noises people would hear coming from it while Lupin and the others were inside. Also, fun fact, Harrys' patronus is a stag because that was his dads' animagus form.

[@Mic-Mak]

11:08 I'm surprised you didn't notice there's a new actor playing Dumbledore (Michael Gambon). He replaced Richard Harris who died in 2002. Fun fact, Richard Harris also played Caesar in _Gladiator._ Also, Michael Gambon, ie the new Dumbledore, just died last week. RIP.

[@greywolf7577]

They did notice. They just weren't sure whether it was a different actor or not, which is understandable given the makeup that is used on actors.

[@pixiedust1977]

On Snape and his relationship with Lupin, James and Sirius: it's complicated, without spoiling much Snape does not like them and in the books it's said that Snape gave the lesson on werewolves because he hoped the students would realize they were being taught by a werewolf and that they would tell their parents. Being a werewolf means that you are an outcast of the society and can't really get a job so Snape was trying to get Lupin fired, which is why he also tried to make Dumbledore believe Lupin was helping Sirius. The whole thing with their relationship is explained better in the books but the movies do an alright job of telling the basics, all you need to know that Snape hated Sirius, James, Lupin and Peter and that shows how he acts with Lupin and Sirius here as well as how he talks about James to Harry.

[@inkeriananas]

Funny how the movie "forgot" to mention that at the very end, it was Snape who let it "slip" and told the Slytherins at breakfast about Lupin's condition. He could've resigned without the pupils and their families knowing but no, Snape just HAD to out him.

It's never explained in the films but the reason why the Defense Against the Dark Arts post never has a permanent professor is because it has a curse on it so that nobody ever lasts more than a year in the job.

[@wwoods66]

Which makes no sense. Far better if Rowling had just left it as an unexplained running gag.

[@AngelusBrady]

@@wwoods66 Why wouldn't it make sense? Dumbledore turned down Voldemort's application for the role because he suspected that he had ulterior motives that were dark. Voldemort was pissed and cursed the post out of spite.

[@wwoods66]

@@AngelusBrady Because Dumbledore was the stronger wizard. Plus he has a home-field advantage in his authority as headmaster. With years to work on the problem, he can't break a curse Riddle just cast in passing? But say it's burned into the stone somehow. Dumbledore could change the curriculum, cancelling the DADA class and moving the useful content to others -- Magical Creatures, Jinxes, Potions, etc. But if he can't be bothered to do that, just make the DADA position an adjunct professorship, hiring teachers on one-year contracts.

[@AngelusBrady]

@@wwoods66 Dumbledore was a stronger wizard overall, that doesn't mean that another witch or wizard who's nearly as strong can't do something that even he can't fix. Especially even in Voldemort's own words, he's willing to push the boundries of magic. Dumbledore was unable to stop the curse put on the Gaunt ring and had to rely on Snape, and even then he could only delay it for a year. As for making the Defense Against the Dark Arts an adjunct position with 1-year contracts, that won't even make any real difference in the end. The teacher is still being changed every year. It's just a distinction without a difference at that point.

[@EchanteDante]

This movie is one of my favorites in the series. I just really loved the whole Sirus Black stuff, the Maurader’s map, the dementors, the start of some romance, really emphasizing friendship. BUT MY FAVORITE PART WAS HOW THEY PORTRAYED THE TIME TRAVEL STUFF. IT WAS SOOOO WELL DONE! Time travel and intervening in their pasts could have gotten really mess/sloppy. I love the introduction of Lupin, Peter Petigrew, etc. Prisoner of Azkaban, Deathly Hallows 1, and Goblet of Fire are my favorite 3 movies. Goblet of Fire, Deathly Hallows, and Half Blood Prince are by far my favorite books. I absolutely adored the way Half Blood Prince gave the reader a part in the story with the book transforming into the Half Blood Prince’s book in parts.

[@isabelledrevet5913]

The Maraudeurs were James, Sirius, Lupin and Petter (they created the map Harry is using)... As Lupin was a warewolf, they became animagus to stay with him without danger. In Azkaban, Sirius took his dog shape, so that’s why dementers couldn’t hurt or kill him and that’s how he could escape...

[@christopherpoet458]

35:00 ish - Just a note about Time Travel. Its not quite the same as the MCU or others. Usually, Time Travel is treated as creating an alternative reality where the future will now change based on the actions you take. In this case, you will never return to the point in which you first went back in time. Not unless you do so intentionally though a device, such as the MCUs device. In Harry Potter, there is no branching timeline. They stay within the same timeline and are literally traveling through time in that same timeline.

[@MarvelousJJ]

About Snape - I feel like there's quite a difference between Movie Snape and Book Snape, at least to the extent we're shown in the movie scenes directly. In the movies it's mentioned briefly (esp. through Neville), but in the books it's very clear just how badly he treats his students in general (with the exception of Slytherin). The way he bullies Neville in particular is horrific. There's a very good reason why he's Neville's biggest fear. Really hard not to think about that whenever I hear someone praise Snape's character.

Great reaction! If you were wondering why the boggart was shifting so fast, it’s because there was multiple people in the room. Therefore it’s hard to focus on one person’s fear; it’s the reason you always have one person at least when you confront a boggart. Also when James and Lily went into hiding, there were enchantments placed around their house to prevent Voldemort or his followers from entering. They selected a Secret Keeper, a witch or wizard designated to hide a secret by means of the Fidelius Charm. The secret was embedded in their very soul. Once a Secret Keeper was selected, the person who told them the secret would find themselves unable to pass the information on again, as the Secret Keeper was the only one capable of revealing the secret, whether orally or written. The Secret Keeper could tell as many people as they liked, but they must do so voluntarily. The secret couldn't be blackmailed, bewitched, or tortured out of them. They wanted to select Sirius, but he felt it would’ve been to easy for Voldemort. So they selected Peter Petigrew, unaware that he’d deflected. When he gave them up, he sealed their death. As for how Sirius escaped, while in Azkaban he saw the picture of Ron’s family in Egypt and spotted Peter Petigrew. He then transformed into his animagus form and escaped, since the Dementors were unable to recognize him in this form. 🧔🏻‍♀️🧑🏻🪄🦌👻

Something made more clear in the book but not the movie: the identity of the Marauders who made the Marauders’ Map. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs. Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black, and James Potter. When Remus was turned into a werewolf (Moony), his three friends wanted to watch over him on his full moon nights, but couldn’t, because he’d attack them so long as they were human. So they each underwent the ritual to become an Animagus, to accompany and watch over Remus while in animal form. You’ve seen Peter and Sirius becomes a rat (Wormtail) and a dog (Padfoot), James could turn into a stag (Prongs), hence the form of Harry’s patronus. Just some of the sort of mischief they’d get up to that their map helped with.
