I've always thought that, sure, he might have been a Ministry sycophant at the beginning, like 5th, possibly 6th, year, but at some point he must have realized what was really happening and where things were heading. By Deathly Hallows, I think he was staying where he was because he knew his family were considered blood traitors and the best way to protect them was to maintain appearances and keep ahead of any possible moves against them.

Are we gonna forget the fact that in the book Harry Potter and the goblet of fire; mad eye moody (BC jr) casts the imperious curse on Harry. And Harry "shakes" it off. So Harry has actually been able to "shake off" all 3 of the unforgivable curses.

@@tavadaardendrian319 I think it’s because he’s been hit by the curse a few times and so it affects how Harry shakes it off.

[@Simon_A.]

@@tavadaardendrian319 I don't know anymore who suggested it, but the argument goes as follows: As Bellatrix (?) stated in The Order Of Phoenix you really need to mean it, if you want to use the Cruciatus Curse. As Voldemort didn't think that Harry was alive anymore as he casted the curse on him, he didn't cast it correctly, therefore Harry didn't feel any pain. Do you get what I mean?

[@irishuisman1450]

I’m pretty sure that J does know that, but he just didn’t mention it because it wasn’t relevant to the point he was making at that moment

[@jennisfalling1379]

I'm unconvinced he was under the Imperius during the second task because he's so emotional that he runs straight at Ron when he's pulled from the lake, so he's biased to give Harry full marks. He might love rules but this is the same guy that bet ten galleons he DIDN'T OWN on a Quidditch match, he's not completely strait-laced.

[@ujaashroychowdhuryroychowd2998]

I have two theories for the second task thing:- Peter Pettigrew was away looking for Voldemort as a rat. He may have been too focused on that or just forgot about Percy. Percy at the sight of seeing his brother almost drown, shook of the curse and without wasting any time jumped in after him.

[@celinavivian1162]

I also think it makes a worse story if he is under the imperious curse. People can get stuck in their ways and make poor decisions and then find it hard to return to the right side. I don’t know I’ve just always liked Percy’s arc

[@jennisfalling1379]

@@jennisfalling1379 Well people also hate the idea that maybe the Weasleys and Percy had very toxic relationships so it really was just a matter of time before he would've cut them out of his life. Seriously can you actually find a single time that either his siblings or father actually acted like they even liked him?

[@kenthuang436]

I think Percy wasn’t placed under the Imperius Curse until after Voldemort had returned and after it was discovered that Crouch Sr was killed and Jr got the Dementor’s Kiss.

[@elysefaith6685]

Penedict Wumberbatch is my least favorite person in his family

[@brandiarmstrong2902]

I love how Crouch keeps calling him Weatherby. So insulting. Maybe that's part of why Percy didn't want to believe Crouch was not himself. He finally felt seen by his boss, something he wanted so badly that it blinded him to the painfully obvious truth: something is very wrong with Barty Crouch, Sr.

[@1993digifan]

And how do you explain all the other people that would've known Crouch for longer than a year? Why didn't they know something was wrong? They would be more knowledgeable of him than an 18 year old who has only worked for him for less than a year.

[@brandiarmstrong2902]

@@1993digifan Maybe he was part of the "quiet quitting/work from home" craze? Or maybe no-one wanted to step on his toes by questioning such a hothead...

[@1993digifan]

@@brandiarmstrong2902 You do know the series canonically takes place in 90s so there no Muggle fad for him to follow right? Plus that won't explain why Percy was left to do all the work if Crouch Sr. was just working from home.

[@brandiarmstrong2902]

I think Percy was just a bit of a prat at this stage in his life. Glad he grew out of it. Plus, wizards are often a bit touched in the head. Very obvious things often elude them. Probably why Snape's protective measure for the sorcerer's stone, though not shown in the film, was a shelf of seven potion bottles and a riddle that ran on pure logic. 2 bottles contained poison, 3 contained wine, one had a potion to go back through the fire you just passed, and one to pass safely forward through the next wall of flames. The riddle told exactly which bottle contained what, but was written in such a way that those who don't possess a whit of logic within them would be hopelessly lost trying to figure it out. My guess? At least half of that department would be among those who never made it out of that challenge.

[@1993digifan]

@@brandiarmstrong2902 You are right, coming from an emotionally abusive family it makes sense that Percy would be desperate for just a sliver of validation from literally anyone since he LONG AGO gave up expecting any genuine support from his blood relations. You people want me to believe that it was so horrible for Percy to pick a well paying job over his blood relations than PLEASE find how many times his "loving siblings and pappy" weren't insulting, backhanded complimenting, dismissing his personal wishes, supporting the mistreatment of him by others, betraying a simple promise, or really just anytime that acted if they even liked him before he walked out on them. So was it really something to "grow out of" or was it just an abuse victim going back to the abusers since the bar for his personal happiness is so low they are least worst choice at this point?

[@PJOZeus]

Honestly, the sadest part is that I don't think anyone ever knew he was under the imperius curse, including himself, so coming back to his family after so long, regardless of what he is doing at that moment, they would have to think that the past 3 years were of his own choice, which had to leave some sort of mark on them

While I enjoyed this video, I don't believe this theory. I see Percy as more of a parallel to Hermione's arc. They are both type-A personalities and their characters are how JK Rowling decided to showcase how differently people who live by rules react to chaos in their lives. Hermione learned that rules can be bent or broken when the need arises and that sometimes, it makes your life better. On the other side, Percy couldn't see a life without rigid rules and just wanted to hold onto any sense of normalcy that he could and he lost his sense of morality in the process.

Honestly it feels more like Percy had built up resentment of their family not having the best financial situation and a mixture of middle child syndrome. Growing up with Fred and George's antics would eat up a lot of their parents attention and then when Jenny Comes Along being not only the youngest but the only girl that his mother always wanted probably meant that especially with him being so well-behaved responsible and great in school he was easily pushed aside and ignored most of his life by his family or made fun of.

personally i dont think he was under the curse for many reasons. one of which is he still expressed concern and love for his family, even if it sometimes was misguided. like the letter he wrote ron, telling him to stay away from harry. obv it was wrong but from his pov he was warning his little brother of a dangerous life. why i think he choose the ministry is simply bc he was tired of never being appreciated, always being misunderstood, and having his hard work go not only unnoticed but also mocked by his family. so, instead, he chose his out. he choose to believe the sweet lies being fed to him instead of more questions and mockery from his family. thats quite understandable in my opinion, not good, but understandable. and i get why people dont see justification of his words or actions he used against his family, but i understand where he was coming from. not completely, ofc, a lot of things he did were completely out of line. however i have said terrible things to my family because i felt secluded from them, they not only didnt get me but they also never wanted to listen to me when i told them what they were doing hurt me. so i became a prat to them honestly. i feel percy did the same. he was more than tired at that point and i think the final straw was that his own father didnt think he could get a job like that in the ministry, instead, from his prospective, his father didnt believe he could do it on his own merit. and ofc from our perspective its obvious he was just being used as a spy, from his he finally got his big break, his talent finally recognized. which is quite sad. the boy was desperate for any appreciation and felt he got none (which, from what we read, he doesnt from anyone but his mum. which is complicated) which is partly why i defend percy, or at the very least share his pov. the weasleys are amazing people, wonderful and kind. but they never understood percy and i dont believe they ever tried to, 'sides molly. the twins were cruel to him, i will say, their relationship is very complex and we dont have an exact reason why or who started to feel animosity. but anyway, alls that to say i personally just think percy deserved better and if you can forgive characters who made even worse decisions than his, i think you can forgive him aswell.

Takes away from his character development and the narrative tensions within the Weasleys. If he was under the curse it would ruin the narrative at the end with Fred. I don't think J thinks about narrative and character development when he makes videos in favor of wanting to explain anything that doesn't make sense to him.

Regarding why Percy is a Gryffindor: he was sorted 4 years before the audience meets him. People can change. And as much as I love Fred and George and hate to point the finger at them, I wouldn't doubt that they are at least partly why Percy was burdened with being "the responsible one" once he went to Hogwarts. As for being on the side of Umbridge, that's simple: he just didn't know what she was actually like. When Scrimgeour was trying to get on Harry's good side, he brought up Umbridge, which I can only take to mean that Umbridge didn't see fit to tell her coworkers about her habit of carving up people's hands, because Scrimgeour doesn't seem like he's dumb enough to intentionally bring up someone that he knows Harry would hate.

[@CynthiaWarren]

You make a compelling argument. Percy loves his family, but Wormtail would know precisely how to coerce Percy into turning on them. The Imperius makes you think that doing what the caster wants will solve all the world's ills. Percy has always wanted to be a success and his father has never really wanted to do more than work in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office. His doing the work of a Department Head as a first year intake should have been suspicious, but his ambition may have been well known in the Department of International Magical Cooperation. Even though Crouch never bothered to learn the kid's name, his hard work would still have drawn attention. That Percy came back to his family after Wormtail's death strengthens the argument. You did a great job presenting your arguments. Good job!

@@tmorris7329 Except it's outright stated that Severus Snape created Sectumsempra.
