The Most EVIL Witch Nobody Talks About - Harry Potter Explained

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're tackling The Harry Potter films VS the Harry Potter books. Now- I was first exposed to the books, they were the first thing that I knew of Harry Potter- and I think that the general consensus among Harry Potter fans is that the books are superior- mainly because they have so much more detail- they're the original story. The films, on the other hand, took some liberties- some characters looked and even acted differently, plot points were omitted, and overall- they were just much more condensed. But, what did you expect? 6 hour long movies? I LOVE the Harry Potter films- I think they're great, and while the books did a lot of things better, and are-in my opinion-superior, it doesn't mean that there aren't things that the FILMS did better than the books. In today's video, I'm going to be touching on 20 things that I FEEL the films did better than the books. For the die hard book fans, try to watch this one with an open mind. This is going to be a mix of longer and shorter points, ranging from single lines/moments that were included/excluded- all the way to major shifts in the way that the films turned out.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing Wormtail, Voldemort, The Potters, and the fabled Prophecy. More specifically, we're going to be addressing one very big question: WHAT IF Wormtail NEVER betrayed the Potters? When Peter Pettigrew first came to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it is said that the Sorting Hat took an entire five minutes before deciding to place him in Gryffindor. As we are to understand it, the Hat was wavering between Gryffindor and Slytherin, showing very early on that Pettigrew had inclinations towards the characteristics most seen in students of the green and silver House. That later became obvious after Sirius Black revealed Peter to be a traitor and Death Eater who had framed him for Pettigrew’s crimes, faked his own death, and lived as a rat for 12 years, Peter was actually quite clever, ambitious, and resourceful – the main characteristics of a Slytherin pupil. In any case, having been sorted into Gryffindor, he very obviously lacked the qualities of his fellow House mates – he was not particularly brave or courageous, and being that he was somewhat of an underdog himself, he never stood up for the “little guy.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing the Hogwarts house system- specifically, Ravenclaw house. Now, as we all know, the four houses of Hogwarts can be identified by very unique, defining characteristics- characteristics that allow these houses to stand out from the others. Hufflepuffs are known for their loyalty and hard-work, Gryffindors for their bravery, Slytherins for their cunning, and Ravenclaws for their knowledge and wisdom. Of course- I am talking in generalizations here- but if the sorting hat is anything to go by- it’s reasonably fair to summarize the houses based on the traits it preaches. The sorting hat DOES sort students in to houses, after all. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're going to be discussing the Death Eaters, specifically, what happened to them AFTER the second wizarding war and the Battle of Hogwarts. Killing Voldemort didn't solve every problem that Harry Potter and his wizarding friends faced. Because there were still plenty of Death Eaters alive and well. -And nobody knows what exactly came of them... Today, we're going to take a look at a handful of the most dangerous Death Eaters from the Battle of Hogwarts, and try our best to figure out where they ended up.

Yes, that's right, today, I'll be going over the biggest variations between Harry as depicted in the novels versus the movies.- Right, so, as you may have seen over the last few weeks, I've released a couple other videos addressing the book-to-film differences of other Harry Potter characters. Specifically, I've shared my thoughts on the largest discrepancies between the novel and movie depictions of both Hermione and Ron. And if you have yet to watch them, I encourage you to check them out and share your thoughts with me in the comments! You can find both of these videos right here on the Harry Potter Theory channel.- Anyway, for those of you who have already watched the last couple videos on Hermione and Ron, you may have seen in the comments that there were quite a few requests for me to evaluate the major differences between Harry, the Chosen One himself! So, without further ado, let's dig in to it. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're looking at the biggest differences between Book and Movie Ron Weasley. -Ah, Ron Weasley. If you know him best from his character depiction in the Harry Potter book series, then the Ronald Weasley that you know and love is the courageous, quick-witted, and loyal best mate of Harry Potter. He's also the youngest son, and sixth child of Molly and Arthur Weasley. And while some of that remains true for Ron's character in the films, the majority of what's consistent between the books and the movies is – rather surface level. I mean, yes, Ron is one of Harry's bestest buds in the movies. And, yes, he remains the sixth son born to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. But, other than these superficial details, there are many more character-defining qualities that were either changed substantially for the films, or omitted completely. In this video, I'll be focusing on four of these major differences between book and film Ron.
