In come all of the angry Harry and hermione shippers just like you said Morgan😂 those saying the dance scene is not meant to be romantic, look at 3:21 again...they literally look into each other’s eyes and you can see the chemistry and the longing to kiss each other. The dance might have started out friendly but by the end, there is no doubt that it’s romantic, friends don’t look at each other like that. It was thrown in to please harry and hermione shippers which is truly awful

[@MovieFlame]

Couldn’t have said it better myself. And if you want further proof, here's Emma Watson talking about how it was meant to be romantic kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZizoKCLjNSgfZI

[@smellyscrotum999]

The worst scene they messed up is the torture scene with Harry and Ron listening to Hermione getting tortured. In the book, Ron goes completely ballistic and banging against the door, but they’re completely calm in the movie and show little to no desperation

[@sourabhdatta3706]

Yeah right. In the books Harry was desperately moving around to find a clue and Ron was shouting out Hermione's name like anything. The movie did it very wrong here

[@eavyeavy2864]

Maybe producer didnt ship Ron Hermione

[@drewlynch317]

It would of showed rons love for hermione

[@felixoberhuber9450]

To me the worst part is how little Harry cares about his wand being broken. That could have been the darkest moment (for this movie) where they have lost everything (Ron, Harry's wand, if they had included that also their faith in Dumbledore). In that case, Ron's return would have seemed less out of nowhere.

[@elixirestgames3870]

@@sourabhdatta3706 While I agree you there was a few problems. The movie had a chance to an r rating so they had to tone down things

The movie cut so many great Ron & Hermione moments. - Ron comforting Hermione after she told him she erased herself from her parents memories - Ron and Hermione dancing at Bill & Fleur’s wedding - Ron shoving Hermione out the way when Death Eaters attack them in the cafe - Hermione comforting an upset Ron at Grimmauld Place when they find out the Weasley’s are being watched - Ron saying to Hermione she could pretend to be Ron’s cousin so the Death Eaters wouldn’t know she was muggle-born - Ron screaming and sobbing Hermione’s name at Malfoy Manor and him pulling her out from under the chandelier when it fell.

Wtf is wrong with Dramiome people??🙄🙄 Why people are seeing Emma Watson and Tom Felton in Hermione and Draco, respectively?? why they're seeing the actors , and not the character How can Hermione have even a spark between Draco , who used to call her *mudblood* , which is literally an abuse in Magic World. He even dislike to talk to her whenever she angrily reply to her bullying. He even wanted her to die in Chamber of Secrets People will say that he don't like the torture Bellatrix was giving to Hermione in deathly hallows. Just because he's disliking the torture doesn't mean he likes Hermione. He was fearful of the seeing the torture. If Luna for example was tortured the same way as Hermione was , he would've feel the same fear too. It doesn't mean he would like Luna. Yeah I accept that he would grown after that and started respecting Muggle born wizards. But that doesn't imply that he would've started loving Hermione Ron will always be a billion times better than Draco for Hermione. I can understand Harry with her , but never Draco... People saying Draco with Hermione, are either clearly not seeing the character and seeing the Actors in them Or They are very stupid to understand relationship

Hermione wasn't crying for Ron the full time, she stopped after a day or so. She only cried when she thought Harry was asleep, and Harry looked at the map when he took the watch. They were quite normal otherwise, except for the fact that they didn't use Ron's name.

[@sara_vde]

@@thelegend1801 well harry says in the book to ron that she cried for atleast a week. He said that he suspected that she had cried even more after that but she just didn't want him to know, realizing just how much his absence had cost them. "After you left," he said in a low voice, grateful for the fact that Ron's face was hidden, "she cried for a week. Probably longer, only she didn't want me to see. There were loads of nights when we never even spoke to each other. With you gone..."

[@evanmacdougall9715]

Yes, I loved the final standoff in the books. The ending in the movie left me very unsatisfied. In the book Harry explains everything and then they both get one shot to see if Harry is right or wrong. In the movie Voldemort casts so many spells at Harry and even has him tied up at one point, and then they physically wrestle. And then Harry kills him with nobody even watching and Moldy Voldy disintegrates into tiny pieces of flesh that my wife found super gross instead of dying normally like the human that he actually was. It lasted way too long, was so overdone, and completely missed the point of the standoff as established in the books. And then Harry doesn't even fix his own wand with the elder wand. Ugh, so many problems with it.

A video about Ron & Harry's "bromance" would be good tbh. They had such an amazing friendship in the books. Ron and Hermione might be his bestfriends but let's be real, Ron was the "first" bestfriend. If Harry had to choose between spending time with Ron or Hermione, he would definitely choose Ron. Like in book 4, when he and Ron weren't speaking to each other, he said something along the lines like :"he liked Hermione's company but she wasn't like his bestfriend Ron..." The movies truly didn't do any justice to their friendship. Instead they had Harry and hermione acting as some sort of "golden duo" with their awkward friend Ron hanging there

Any time I watch the dancing scene, I still think it was more of them (Harry and Hermione) trying to "find a little light in the darkness" but that little bit at the end when they looked like they might kiss is what annoyed me. *A lot.* If they had left that romance-ish nonsense out of that scene it would have been okay. Though I agree that they should have cut that scene altogether to have time to put in the scene with Dudley telling Harry "I don't think you're a waste of space" because it was simply beautiful. Even though Dudley's make-up was a bit off in that scene (though good on the actor for staying fit and healthy!) it was such an impactful moment that it's honestly stupid that they didn't include it in the final version/theatrical release. Edit: I still love that hug between Harry and Hagrid after the Battle Of Hogwarts is over, it beautifully and subtly mirrored the hug between them at the end of The Chamber Of Secrets.

[@scaranvostok3637]

We should’ve got more of Kreacher and R.A.B’s death. And the scene when Harry, Ron and Hermione listens to the goblins, Dean Thomas and Teddy Tonks talking right outside the tent barrier. And especially the whole “Potterwatch” thing when they’re listening to the radio. That’s some of the best scenes in the book imo so the fact that they left them out really pissed me off!

The HP movies were great but the books were so much better. And Rowling saying she would have rather paired Harry and Hermione vs Ron makes no sense.

I saw the scene as 2 friends goofily dancing together to try to cheer each other up and I think when they looked at each other at the end of the song it wasn’t romantic at all it was just they came back to the dark life that they are living which made Hermione sad and depressed with what’s happening and Ron not being there.

[@susanalex8759]

I personally think that the scene where Harry and Hermoine dances was not at all a necessary addition seeing as it makes the audience think that there is romantic tension between the two of them, especially after the lazy character development they gave Ginny, which made me mad because Harry and Ginny are my favourite couple in the series. It would have have made much more sense if they added the scene with Dudley and Harry. The deleted scene with Petunia could also have been a good addition since that would really minimize the hate the Dursleys are given. People who have only seen the movies know nothing about Grindelwald refusing to give away Dumbledore or how Peter Pettigrew was strangled by the arm which was given to him by Lord Voldemort, which takes us back to the conversation Dumbledore had with Harry during the events of the Prisoner of Azkaban. Some scenes were really well done like the Battle of the Seven Potters and the scene with Xenophilius Lovegood. But that doesnt give the audience who already read the books the satisfaction. Apart from that,great work on the video and eagerly waiting for your upcoming movie essays of the rest of the movies. ☺ Edit: I forgot to add one thing which is the chapter "Kreacher's tale" was not to be excluded from the movie.

The horcrux scene was awkward and I was with my parents I was 11 lol

[@annischulz9482]

I think you left out one major reason why DH1 is so unsatisfying: The mess-up of the plot in HBP! Like you said in your previous video essay, they droped so many of these voldemort memories of the book, that it had go wrong in this movie. In both DH movies Harry just "feels" which items are horcruxes whilst in the books the trio completed the mission Dumbeldore started with Harry by putting all the clues of the memories together. In the book all the camping, the breaking into gringrotts etc make much more sense and take the reader with on the journey to solve the horcrux mystery. We know exactly WHY they are on their journey even it is a long and difficult one. But at least there is tension in the first half of the book. In the movie the audience think "Why are they wasting so much time when harry might just know/feel where the horcruxes are?" I think that's why especially the first Deathly Hallows movie feels just like a pointless roadmovie. On top of that - like you said - the payoff of this journey comes not until the second DH.

[@endster1122]

Personally, I really like the hero's journey cutting off half way. For me, it keeps the suspense and longing for the next movie. The feeling of it being unsatisfying really makes me excited for the next movie to complete the journey.

hot take: I love the dance sequence as I see nothing romantic in it, just two friends enjoying their company having a light moment amidst all the chaos and evil going on in the world.. to me, it’s very powerful to illustrate the fraternal love between Harry and Hermione, I swear to god I never thought it resembled an almost-kiss situation

[@luans.40]

It’s romantic, everyone behind the scenes said that

[@mygetrichslowplan]

Here's a theory that would never fly: they should release these "Part one, Part Two" movies back to back, same day. Let people see them on different days if they want, but also offer back to back viewings with an intermission in the middle. The studios would never do this because each new movie means a new marketing campaign that keeps the franchise fresh in people's minds, another opportunity to sell merch, etc.

[@vinnyfromvenus8188]

at that point just make a series, if you _really_ want all the time in the world for character development. either that or make it so each movie has its own satisfying conclusion like infinity war and endgame. sure the two stories are connected but both movies are great on their own.

[@tinakarapetyan9371]

I wouldn't mind the Harry and Hermione dance scene if the Kreacher scene was in there as well and the dance was less romantic. BUT HONESTLY WHY DIDN'T THEY INCLUDE THE GRINDEWALD REDEMPTION OR THE DURSLEY REDEMPTION. Honestly though I would trade the Harry and Hermione dance scene for Vernon and Petunia apologizing to Harry any day.

[@Anita-nu2uo]

Harry and Ginny is my favourite relationship in the books. I can't tell you how frustrated I was with the with this movie. I hated how they cut Ginny and Harry's kiss in Ginny's room, it was so awkward in the movies, in the books it said Ginny kissed him like she had never kissed him before. I was also disappointing by the fact that on the Marauders Map, in the books, Harry looked at Ginny, missing her more than he misses Hogwarts. In the movies, Harry looked at Snape walking around Hogwarts. I also agree, Harry and Hermione's dance was one of the worst scenes in the added in the movie. They literally look into each others eyes, it wasn't like they were just friends, it looks no doubt to be romantic. I tend to avoid to watch the movies that often, I usually stick to the books, watching the movies too many times can make me change opinion. Ginny is my favourite character in the books, that's one of the reasons Half Blood Prince is my least favourite movie (It's not just about how they messed up Ginny's character, there were so many other things they should've left out, Voldemort's memories for example.) Deathly Hallows Part 1 is my third least favourite movie (Goblet of Fire being my second.) This movie had so much potential, I will always be left down by this movie.

[@CommandoMaster]

True. The actors just were awkward because they didn't have chemistry, and it's weird kissing somebody u don't know or like.

[@dustingaethje1332]

Honestly, I absolutely hated movie Ginny period. The relationship was never gonna work if they don't adapt the character at all in the first place (and no, they didn't do her justice in part 5 either, regardless of what this channel says, her using two cool spells doesn't mean squat).

[@majazpk]

They should've left out Voldemort's memories? Are u mad? It was crucial and if anything, they didn't include nearly enough of Voldemort's memories

[@bunnicula7763]

I do agree with your points on the whole dance sequence, but I do actually really like it. I think I like it because it does represents the whole Dumbledore quote: “Happiness can be even in the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light.” It showed Harry trying to cheer Hermione up during this hard time, and also trying to bring light upon their own situation.

Considering the mess that the sixth film was, this movie was a breath of fresh air; it feels more mature and dark, I loved seeing how the magic is outside of hogwarts and that scene with Harry and Hermione dancing was a perfect “what if...”; they’re alone, lost, stressed and sad by Ron leaving. They might be magical but they’re still human and have needs 😗

I would just like to say JK didn’t actually regret pairing Ron and Hermione, but she did say that they would probably need counselling at some point. She also said that Ginny is perfect for Harry. If we look at all the other ships in the fandom, Harry and Hermione doesn’t seem like a bad idea. However I freaking hate how the movies destroy Ron and Ginny and try to push Harry and Hermione together and nearly ruining Harry Potter for me.

I am NOT a Harry/Hermione shipper but I absolutely love the dancing scene. It was a beautiful moment between friends. Friends can still have awkward tension with each other especially during times of extreme stress. The end of the scene proves that there's nothing more because Hermione walked away and Harry did not pursue. It was a moment of levity for the characters and the audience because up until this point it was all heavy and dramatic. It was a breather and done beautifully. Loved the song choice, that's what really makes the scene. It's so bittersweet.

[@rebecca8836]

The reason why Ron leaving is sad was because he thinks there’s something between Hermione and Harry that isn’t really there, so you feel for them all and want him to come back. But when they put that little romantic moment in it almost makes Ron’s anger justifiable, which it shouldn’t be. Does that make any sense ? Either way I don’t like that scene 😂

[@harrie4667]

I just read the saga for the second time in my life after a long time and after I was finished, I decided to also see all the films again. Both the Deathly Hallows ones left me so disappointed... and what bugged me the most was how the characters behaved. They didn't even seem friends! They often just awkwardly stood around with a blank face, I found them so lifeless compared to how they were in both the books and the earlier films. It took away all emotion for me and I didn't even cry in the sad parts because I couldn't really get involved. I might be exaggerating a bit, but having just finished the books I had high expectations (I'd already seen the films, I just didn't remember much because I was a lot younger the first time) and I kinda felt... eh. (ps. I don't blame the actors, they've proven themselves to be great in their roles, it must be the way they were written/directed)

I’ve always thought that if they had cut some of the unnecessary stuff (like that stupid dancing scene) out of Part 1 there would have been more screen time to go a bit farther. I think if they had extended Part 1 to where they met Aberforth and left it as a cliffhanger that would have been great, because the Gringotts scene would have added some excitement to the first movie and it would have allowed for more detail in Part 2.

[@why-him982]

Tbh when I saw the dance scene I was just confused (stupid younger me watched the movies first) I knew Ron and Hermione were supposed to be together and I thought maybe I got it all wrong. After reading the book I am officially infuriated

[@robynwilkerson7525]

I agree with that if the gringotts scene had been added to part 1, the movie would've been more exciting, but I think the reason they couldn't do that was because it would have left too little to have a film for part 2. Honestly if they just didnt add any scenes, or with the chase scene in the woods, that didnt need to last five minutes because I mean, they're wizards they have wands and they know hoe to apparate. So if Yates had cut time down for some scenes and not added scenes that weren't in the book, there would have plenty of time to have Kreachers Tale the Dursleys redemption scenes and been able to show and explain Wormtails death in the movie, as well as add a few more details from the book, like you know Grindelwald NOT betraying Dumbledore!!!

Honestly, I don't have a problem with the scene of them dancing. When I watched it, it sort of made sense. They're in the middle of nowhere, away from everyone, hunting for horcruxes no one knows where to find. On top of that, harry's best friend and hermione's crush leaves them. After all that, harry and hermione start dancing, cus it's the only thing that will relieve them from everything. It's a moment of relaxation, forgetting everything. Other than the split second of looking at each other, nothing about the dance looked romantic. I'm pretty sure everyone agrees friends can dance, man and woman included. Btw, I'm not a harry and hermione shipper Also, I've seen alot of comments about this. Why is everyone so pissed about it? It's an added scene just like every other movie has.

Through out the movies it became totally clear that the movies wanted to show some kind of romantic chemistry between Harry and Hermione. There were many clues and lines in the movies, we haven't in the books. It is not about this unneeded dance scene only, but also about Dumbledore asking Harry if there is something more between him and Hermione or Hermiones Line to Harry: "Maybe we should stay here Harry, grow old..." It's not an accident harrys Line about Hermione, that he sees her as a sister was not added. It was on purpose they didn't include that, because it wouldn't have worked then.

[@mando1964]

I'll have to say that, even though there seems to be a consensus over the scene of Harry and hermione dancing, I totally loved that scene. First, it is the closest and only "taste" those who wanted them to end up together will get; second, it is subtle but it shows the reality, that them both having lived together 24/7 for a long period and gone through a lot together, by themselves, will grow some sort of chemistry, which ofc they let go as soon as they stop dancing; third, their dance can be interpreted in so many ways: two friends having some fun (I mean what else can they do; not like they packed boardgames) or two never-to-be lovers. Finally, I just really love how nostalgic that song is, and also how, despite all that is going on, they give themselves some times to "chill". But then again, I guess not many people like this scene; I think it added to the movie.

[@skrrskrr]

I still like the dance scene. I just wish it would have ended differently, without that look they give each other. They could have ended the dance with both of them looking at each other with disgust, like, "What are we doing? Voldemort could be killing someone right now, our best friend is gone, and we're dancing..." or at least end the scene with them showing some sign of the fact that they miss Ron.
