Small mistake: Bellatrix never killed Neville's parents. She did torture them, though. To the point where they permanently ended up in St. Mungo's. In fact, in the fifth book, when going to St. Mungo's to see Arthur Weasley after he was saved from the torture by Voldemort, the main squad saw Neville in the room with his parents there (can't recall if they interacted, but I'm sure they did). They also met Gilderoy Lockhart, who, in all honesty, was such an adorable lil' sweetiepie with his missing memory, he was genuinely cute and super sweet to everyone, I was kinda bummed out they never added that whole segment into the movie.

I think the how and why she drove them mad is really important here. Voldemort had already disappeared (circa 1981), so people gotta understand that evrything that follows came at a point where everyone was basically rejoicing and finally getting back to normal after years of war and abruptly losing family. Bellatrix didn't believe that Voldemort could've been defeated and wanted to find him to bring him back, so she (along with her husband, brother-in-law and Death-Eater colleague) went to an Auror's house to torture the info out of him and his wife who had nothing to do with it, because what better activity to strengthen family bonds than torturing another family together? But since they knew nothing and wouldn't let out even the little they knew, the torture went on for longer and harder and their brain basically went caput.

The Very Potter Musical by Starkid actually explores the awkwardness of having Voldemort’s face on the back of Quirrell’s head by having two guys share a costume, back to back to each other. It’s hilarious and worth a watch.

[@MissAlii432]

Thought the line about them saying good night to eachother was a reference to the musical

[@sidhackney8831]

Very Potter Musical is amazing but that's probably the best part. Dude had a fully sentient man living on his head for a *year*. Like, did Voldemort even need sleep in that state? Did he ever have opinions on the faculty meetings he must have had to silently sit through? Did Voldemort get sick of the way he chewed?

[@justpassingthrough7990]

Tbh a lot of things could have been solved with that charm. Like when Harry, Ron, and Hermione were on the run. I refuse to believe Hermione didn't know how to cast the charm. It's not a potion. It doesn't need ingredients.

[@franceskoz]

Wow, I never realized how many convoluted plots that could have been solved with a simple practical decision there were in this series, and how many times magic was either way too easy (polyjuice) or just completely nonexistent when it could have been there till I watched this. Also many more moral issues... Great job! Lots of laughs ❤

[@bdletoast09]

One of the things that will forever annoy me with the Harry Potter franchise is how J.K managed to make one of the rare exemples of Time Travel that works perfectly since it is in a stable loop with no branching continuity. Which in itself justifies why Hermione was allowed to use a Time Turner in the first place (she couldn't have done anything other than using it to be in two places at once with it) and why it cannot be used to change the events of the series (there is no stopping Wormtail from reaching Voldemort or revealing Barty Crouch Jr.'s identity before it's too late because it already happened this way) but she somehow didn't understand her own system and destroyed it with the Cursed Child.

[@bdletoast09]

I used to watch cinema sins but they started getting waaaay too long and a bit self indulgent, but these tightly scripted clever bits are just my speed. Keep pitching those bad scripts to keep a smile on our faces

[@flamemasterelan]

CinemaSins is also just really terrible criticism that they mask as satire. But if you watch Jeremy's other channel, he makes all the same critiques, but without the running gags. Not to even mention his way-too-pompous "open letter to Marvel" about how nobody gave a crap about Captain America and they needed to delay the movie because everyone wanted to see Batman v Superman instead. Ryan's scripts are largely not criticism, but pointing out the goofy logical inconsistencies in every movie, good or bad.

[@igorbednarski8048]

Half of the "sins" in Cinemasins are completely nonsensical and their videos are very mean-spirited for no good reason, i.e. they just make shit up and lie. Ryan on the other hand is able to poke fun in a much more intelligent way in a light-hearted way even at very good movies he enjoyed. It's not even in the same league.

It was still contrived bullshit because after he was reborn he could touch Harry and he still went back.

[@clover2739]

@@Verasoul there’s a reason for that tho, that was the whole point of Voldemort getting Harry to the graveyard for him coming back. He wanted to use Harry’s blood because that way he has a bit of lily’s protection in himself. That’s why he did it so he could touch him without burning. Sending him to the Dursleys wasn’t for that protection tho, dumbledore created other protection that is strong when he’s with someone blood related so they couldn’t have went to the dursleys house to attack him while he was underage.
