There was a deleted scene - thankfully - of Slytherins in actual dungeons. Meanwhile in the book when Aberforth was told that Slytherins are being evacuated, he protested that they could have kept them hostages to leverage their Voldemort-loyalist families, to which Harry said something along the lines of Ablus wouldn't have done that.

To be fair, they never say that Harry's eyes looks like his moms. They say he "has his mothers eyes." So maybe he has them in a box somewhere.

15:10 just want to point out that Voldy’s death still upsets me so much. It’s cinematically beautifully shot/ edited so it looks all mystical and fantastical and great and whatever. But the whole point of this moment in the book was that Voldemort’s lifeless body just dropped down *like everyone else who’s dead would BECAUSE HE WAS JUST A NORMAL HUMAN* and I’m so frustrated that while it looks cool, this scene defeats the purpose of showing the audience that Voldy was just some dude (with arguably superior powers) who went haywire.

But when Harry grows older and has to face (and defy) him several times, Voldemort seems less unbeatable, especially after they start to find explicit ways to destroy him forever. Moreover, in the later books /movies as you find out about his backstory - about him being a half-blood, discarded by his father and abandoned by his mother, neglected in the orphanage, about him finally receiving recognition in school and consecutively growing his need for power and superiority - and you learn through Harry that this man could have grown up like a comparatively normal person if some factors in his life had been different. tbh this arc started the moment we learned that "Lord Voldemort" was just an alias for someone with an otherwise boring name and unassuming appearance.

He even helped Harry get the sword horcrux and using his last bit of strength, he made sure Harry knew what needed to happen to win. Honestly without Severus, the wizarding world would have lost to Voldemort and still people say stupid stuff like but he wasn’t nice!!!!

Couple of things: Voldemort's curse rebounded because of Lily's sacrificial love for Harry, so it's still consistent. The guy who played Crabbe was arrested before the last movie, so they had to replace him in that scene with Blaise Zabini. Harry and Ginny's relationship had more buildup in the books; Harry realizing his feelings for her was actually a subplot in Half Blood Prince. As for the whole thing with Snape, Lily was basically the only person he had as a kid, between an abusive father and being bullied at school, she was his whole world but he ruined their friendship by calling her a mudblood in a moment of anger and spent the rest of his life regretting how he let things end. Wanting to protect her son is what any friend would do. As for Dumbledore, I do believe he still cared for Harry but he was pragmatic; he knew that defeating Voldemort required things to be done in a certain way and using Snape and Harry the way he did was necessary for that.

Just an example that comes to mind are people saying it's inconsistent where sometimes you have to fully pronounce and recite spells perfectly, and other times they point their wands without saying or doing anything special and the spell still works. But in the books and briefly in the movies they talk about non-verbal casting, and those who master spells don't have to do all of the typical processes to cast the spells (and mastery not having to be exclusive to people like Dumbledore, but mostly adults who have cast magic for quite a while).

Voldemort never intended Draco to succeed, though, it was a mission he was supposed to fail. Voldemort intended Draco to either die in the attempt or fail to follow through. If he failed, Voldemort himself would have tortured him. The whole plan was to punish Draco's father. Of course, he doesn't believe actually think some kid barely out of school can kill Dumbledore, the one wizard he's personally terrified of. Dumbledore comes up with a plan in which Draco won't be punished for failing and also won't be forced to murder him, splitting his soul. He also makes it believable enough that Snape won't be outed, either. The entire thing with the Prophecy is kinda silly, it only came true because Voldemort believed it. Neither can survive while the other lives, it is definitely true. That said, it's not because of some prophecy, it's true because Voldemort won't leave Harry alone. If nobody had repeated the prophecy, it wouldn't have come true. There's so much the movies leave out of the story for time that explains some (not all or even most) of the weird inconsistencies in the story. The one thing I like about Dumbledore is that his mentality never truly changes. As a teenager, he joined Grindelwald under the mantle of “for the greater good.” Even after defeating him, his mentality hasn't actually changed. He'll use anyone and everyone as a tool, including himself, “for the greater good.”

About Voldemort's plan the guy in this video thinks Voldemort was trying to be the master of the Elder Wand but at this point Voldemort is not looking to replace his original want, the twin of Harry's. Agree on the prophecy. It's about believing and making it come true. Self fullflling prophecy, in a very literal sense. I need to add that movie-Dumbledore is characterized as a villain in that last movies whereas in the books he is more gray but ultimately a good human being who cares about Harry. His plan incorporated also a glimpse of hope for Harry to get rid of Voldemort's lost shard of his corrupted soul so he can be free, he also accounted Voldemort couldn't kill Harry based on two assumptions: 1. Harry's mother protection charm was in Voldemort's blood. 2. Elder Wand ownership. Dumbledore couldn't predict Snape death, he intended to die and be the last owner of the wand. And he kinda was but he also couldnt known Draco would succeed in disarming him and that ruined the brilliance of his plan to die a true martyr. Without Draco expelliarmus, Snape would've killed Dumbledore but on the orders of the latter, a planned suicide if you want to see it that way. So the ownership would've never transferred to Snape. The Wand would ultimately become useless as a servant of a dead wizard. Perfect plan ruined by Draco's surprising spell (of course Dumbledore being fatally weakened by the ring's horrocrux curse and the potion at the cave hindering his reflexed and genius didn't help). Snape couldn't correct Voldemort otherwise he could've risked Draco's and Harry's life and the whole master operation. At the end it worked, just as Dumbledore envisioned for Harry: free of Voldemort's soul fragment, Voldemort without ownership of the Wand, Harry as a Master of Death, and finally Voldemort defeated. Dumbledore didn't raise Harry as "a pig for slaughter" thats Severus Snape own words and Dumbledore wasn't ready to correct him at that moment. Dumbledore withheld info from Snape too. Snape didn't need to know the scope of Dumbledore's love for Harry. It's clear few people knew the deep love Dumbledore felt for Harry. McGonagalls saw it too by intuiton I guess. Harry knew at the end too. In the films the greatest vulnerable moments of Dumbledore are erased: 1. Harry and Dumbledore real talk in the Headmaster's Office after the events of The Department of Mysteries and Sirius's Death. In this scene Dumbledore cries. 2. In the limbo scene finally Dumbledore confess his past and shame, and reafirms his love for Harry and they say farewell. The only truly vulnerable moment they left was the Cave's scene when Dumbledore is getting living nightmares from the potion. But this doesn't do anything to moviegoers because Dumbledore is apparently rambling and we don´t know the context at the moment. But all that nuance is lost in the films and most potterheads are convinced of this outrageous theory of machiavellian cold Dumbledore. His love for Harry got lost in translation from a medium to another and fanfictions didn't help either.

That’s the beauty of prophecies tho. You don’t know what actions you take that could cause the prophecy to come true. There were a lot of things that fell into place for the prophecy to work out. First, Snape had to be there when it was given and also be thrown out before Trelawney finished. For Voldemort, it was him not hearing the entire prophecy. That was why he needed it in the 5th book. He clearly missed the “and the dark lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the dark lord knows not.” That was a crucial part and Voldemort not knowing it is what set his ultimate demise into motion. And after having his body destroyed and being a parasitic soul for 13 years, I think he was rightfully paranoid about having Harry just out there. He was a threat no matter what.

I’ve always thought it was a bit unfair that everyone acts like Pansy wanted to turn Harry over just because she’s a Slytherin and was evil but I think she was afraid and believed that maybe by turning Harry over to Voldemort that he would keep his “promise” to hurt no one else. I think she had become truly afraid of him after witnessing what he could do at Hogwarts without anyone stopping him especially when he was angry. Sure Pansy might have been a bit mean and not the biggest fan of Harry, Ron, and Hermione but I think she was even more afraid of getting those she did care about getting hurt if Harry wasn’t turned in. It was during a war and she probably saw what happened to those who disobeyed Voldemort and I think several other Slytherins wanted to fight Voldemort’s tyranny but terrified to stand up to him. Horace Slughorn had said that Slytherins were cunning and sought power but they aren’t cowards and know when it isn’t worth risking their lives if it was a losing situation and that they would do whatever it took to keep themselves and those who cared about safe.

The fact that not one pupil from one of the other three houses was so scared of Voldemort and for their own life that they were like 'well maybe we should give him Harry so we won't all die, you know?' or that not a single Slytherin was on HPs side makes it so much more ridiculous that JKR still says that not every Slytherin is a bad Voldemort supporter. Well Joanne you can say that all you want but you didn't write it like that and you didn't intervene when they put it into the movies so, eat a shoe.

Can we just be honest, Snape would have wrecked Mcgonagal if he wanted to. He deflects her spells perfectly into the other death eaters and then gets away without a scratch by flying without a broom. That was all exactly what he wanted to happen. Makes you wonder how he matched up to Voldemort and Dumbledor. From everything we learn he seems easily as impressive as either of them

9:54 - The plan was setting up Draco for failure as to punish the Malfoys for their general cowardness and infidelity to uncle Voldy when he returned. It was not meant to be a genius plan to deal with Dumbledore: it was a torture method. I mean, c'mon, it's not even that hard to understand that from the movies: the full plan of Voldy WAS Draco failing in his mission, the flaw in the plan (that's the litteral name of the chapter in which Voldemort dies) was exactly that, since Dumbledore felt like he needed to die, he chose to prevent Harry from intervening in his death, failing to defend himself against Draco, making Draco's mission an unplanned partial success, and thus making Draco, not Snape, the lord of the Elder Wand, until Harry overpowered Draco in the fight in the mansion.

Despite a lot of the BS that has come out of her mouth, there's ONE thing I agree with in terms of what Rowling has said...And she has always said Severus was a shades of gray character. And I agree. He isn't totally good, and he isn't totally bad either. You're valid if you like him, and you're valid if you don't. However, those who only watch the movies, vs those who only read the books, like and dislike Severus for very DIFFERENT reasons. Because he's very different in the films, compared to the books. And if you're like me and read the books AND watched the movies, you get to see movie Severus as more of...an expansion pass version to the books. Movie Snape is DLC. And you honestly get the best of both worlds IMO. You get the Snape that people really like who gets to interact with more of the Wizarding Community in the movies, which thus makes him more well rounded, vs just seeing Severus from Harry's perspective; a vindictive man.

Took my mom (who hadn’t really kept up with harry potter) to see this movie and she thought that the pensive scene was revealing that Snape was Harry’s dad 😂 honestly without context, I see how she got there, it doesn’t make a lot of sense

Rowling never meant Snape to be the ‘good guy’ in the end. She said it herself: "You can't make him a saint: he was vindictive & bullying. You can't make him a devil: he died to save the wizarding world.'' That was the idea, it's not black and white. She also said: "Is he a hero? You see, I don't see him really as a hero.

4:45 I'm Luna and Hermione if they were mashed together into one person, with random facts and knowledge that no one cares about until they realize that my knowledge can help them, but only if it's about to be too late, or if they tried everything else and didn't work until they try my advice/help/facts. It's why Luna is my favorite out of all the characters. I relate to her so much, and Hermione, too. I don't like that we weren't introduced to her until halfway through the series, but when we finally were, she became my favorite. As someone who gets treated like both Hermione and Luna do in the movies, by my own family, and usually with some form of aggression, I always channel my inner Luna. I ask myself, "What would Luna do?" It helps me shake off the mad/sad/frustrated feelings whenever they try to bring me down. Then I listen to Taylor Swift, or Madalen Duke, depending on the mood, and I just let it go, like Elsa. She's another character I also relate to, minus the ice powers. If only, if only... Speaking of which, have you done a video about _Holes,_ with Shia Lebouf? Another great book that wasn't ruined by a shitty movie/TV series adaption, as many books have been done before, especially now with all the shitty recycled IP and unoriginal crap like the remakes, sequels, and prequels that movie studios are only doing just to make money.

17:01 ,,It was a fun place to be for a while" I can't relate to that, because Harry Potter universe lives in my head 24/7. 😅😂

The final, dramatic end of this ages long saga. It would be so cool if Alex continued it by doing videos on the Starkid shows.

5:35 *Snape.exe has stopped working.*

The reason McGonagall references seamus blowing things up is because in the first few movies and books, he kept messing up every spell by blowing things up. It a callback to a running joke for his character

For the record, ive been in the situation where i held onto feelings for someone way past the time most would assume. Very rarely was the response like the fandom, it was like Dumbledore, like, "Holy crap dude, after all this time. What are you expecting to get out of this? I know she doesn't like you and telling her how you feel is just going to make her uncomfortable" Again, numerous times

In the books harry and ginny have a great chemistry the movies screwed this up

Alex 2:00 into the video: drags Luna and the random shit she says Alex 4:55 into the video: defends every word out of Luna’s mouth I love this channel 🤣🤣🤣

Naming your child after the two men who abused you and didn't care about you was my final breaking point with Harry Potter. I still read HP Fanfiction but I could never re read the books. Why not name a son Vernon Dudley Potter and the daughter Petunia Lilly Potter.

15:42 hurt my feelings a little bit 😂

I chocked up McGonagall's comment about Seamus to referencing how in the early movies, Seamus would try spells but the thing he was focusing on inevitably just blew up. I'm specifically remembering the 1st (i think) where he's trying to turn his water into rum!

9:50 didnt voldemort want to punish malfoy for failing hard enough at the ministry of magic to force voldemort to come to there himself showing the world that the dark lord is back

Thanks for the vids! You make me crack up 😂

Just finished the series and absolutely Love 'em. Keep up the good work dawg! 🎉

I just binged your whole series! Good job brosive! I enjoyed Harry Potter growing up too, but after thinking about everything that goes on in these movies makes *no sense* at all. So happy to see this in my inbox today!

Harry and Ginny was a million times better in the books. Ginny actually was amazing in the books.

even after reading the books and rewatching the films, tbh? I still think that Harry x Ginny is a dumb choice for the final pairing. Almost as dumb as Harry naming his son Albus Severus lol

@@bigbearkat2010yeah. I always wondered why suddenly Ginny is popular and pretty when she was nothing more than the friend’s quirky little sister. I guess JKR noticed Harry left without a partner by the sixth book and decided Ginny was the one. Then there’s the limelight on movie Hermione which I hate the most

@@Royal__Kitsune I always hate it when people name their children after deceased people in a 'and they live on' way. this only saddles the child to live up to whomever their named after, which is not fair. their children should be allowed to be their own people and not there as proxies for others. and yes, 'Albus' and 'Severus' were especially bad choices for multiple reasons.

1. the prophecy read; "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies...." 2. "the power he knows not," is love. As shown in the sixth book, Tom Riddle was the result of a love potion that Merope Gaunt exploited against Tom Riddle Snr. And any child conceived from a love potion is devoid of it. Dumbledore explained that Voldemort had a tendency to underestimate powers he did not wield himself. So, evidently, he disregarded the force of love. 3. When Voldemort ventured to kill the Potters-- Snape begged him to spare Lily. Voldemort conceded, and so after he killed James, he offered Lily the chance to step aside and let him kill his prophesied adversary. Of course, Lily refused, and that's where the power of love lies. Because to love is a choice, and loving itself is a sacrifice. 4. Voldemort killed Lily, and by doing so, an ancient enchantment that Lily had foreseen was placed upon the subject of her love; Harry. This supplemented her son with the most ultimate protection of all. Something that would come to fester in his blood, imbued with Lily's very essence. (This all-enduring protection is also why Voldemort chose Harry's blood to regenerate during the ritual in fourth year. By sharing the essence of Lily's love, Voldemort managed not only to cancel out Harry's invincibility-- but was also under the impression that it would strengthen him. Unfortunately for voldemort, sharing the blood also meant keeping the enchantment alive-- meaning that he himself could never kill Harry from fourth year onwards.) 5. When Voldemort struck to kill Harry, the killing curse rebounded from Harry's forehead and obliterated Voldemort instead. Voldemort had intended to use Harry's soul to produce his seventh and final horcrux. Seven, because It's the most magical number. And Harry's soul, because Voldemort only used the souls of his enemies to formulate his horcruxes. Arrogance, I presume. 6. Professor Slughorn had, of course, preemptively warned Voldemort that splitting ones soul was detrimental to your physical state. And that to even make *one* horcrux was crossing the line. To make seven was a death wish. Hence his ghastly appearance. Voldemort's expended body simply couldn't stand the killing curse, and so the roof of Harry's nursery as well as Voldemort's body exploded upon impact. 7. The remnants of Voldemort's soul then latched upon the only living subject nearby, which was Harry himself. Fulfilling the prophecy of being marked as the dark lord's equal. Because as divination teaches, there aren't any set results, only set pathways. And by reacting to the prophecy, Voldemort contributed to his own doom.

Mcgonagall said Seamus was good at blowing things up as a reference to him accidentally making something explode in every single movie. You thought it had something to do with him being Irish???

JKR didn't write Seamus as being good at blowing things up, that was a movie thing.

0:47 I greet you from Slovakia! I didn´t even know we have so many options here, lol.

5:06 continuity error, Luna was originally at the safe house. She shouldn’t be at hogwarts after being rescued from Malfoy mannor. Have fun sitting with that for the rest of time 😂
