To think each time I watch a Harry Potter film.

That if Voldermorte had gunned for Hermione from the start, rather than focusing on Harry, there would only have been one film. Harry wouldn't have lasted two minutes without her.

Haha yes!

JLG19 · 29/09/2018 19:10

Haha that’s so true! Silly voldy.

Shoxfordian · 29/09/2018 19:11

True story
Voldemorte should have shot Harry or stabbed him or poisoned him. Avada kedavra didn't work so he should have tried other methods.

Glitterkitten24 · 29/09/2018 19:11

Are you watching ‘Goblet of Fire’ just now?

Every time I watch a HP film I wonder at being the main character, named in the title, but being the worst character in it. I actually like some of DRs stuff since HP but he’s a dreadful Harry.

He wouldn't have thought a mudblood would be his downfall though.

hidinginthenightgarden · 29/09/2018 19:12

Yes but he obviously he isn't that smart is he!

FATEdestiny · 29/09/2018 19:19

Goblet of Fire: a story about getting Harry transported to the graveyard via a portkey.

Why not make the portkey a book/object in the DATDA class? No need for the whole fourth champion thing.

Logic goes out the window with HP4. I still love the series though.

Honeyroar · 29/09/2018 19:22

Don't get me wrong, I love the books and films.

And yes it was an elaborate route to the graveyard!

Because Voldemort would never have seen a mudblood as a threat.

MaxPepsi · 29/09/2018 19:26

But no one was supposed to know Harry was transported. It was all meant to be a terrible accident. Disappearing from school during a lesson etc would have been a dead giveaway.

And the films are shit. I wish the remakes would hurry up and happen!

MrsJayy · 29/09/2018 19:27

I am watching and thinking Harry is hopeless Ron is a moody bastard and Hermoine is holding them together if i were herid just let Voldermort have him!

Honeyroar · 29/09/2018 19:30

But Voldemorte had enough baddies planted in Hogswort to try and catch Harry, you'd think one of them would have reported back, "ere Voldy, you need to sort that Granger girl, she's working it all out each time".

You lot are all just miserable.

Saw HP&TCC last weekend. It was ACE.

MrsJayy · 29/09/2018 19:33

You would think so a nod in her direction takeher out and HP is yours

MagnaDoodle · 29/09/2018 19:33

Voldemort could have killed Harry about a thousand times over. He should have just got on with it but every time he got hold of him he would just mince about and showboat for the death eaters and then Harry would foil him.

Voldemort really is the campest baddie going.

MrsJayy · 29/09/2018 19:34

I am avoiding the mermaid scenes they are properly scary Blush

Trills · 29/09/2018 19:34

Voldemorte should have shot Harry or stabbed him or poisoned him

Wizards are always so smugly certain that magical methods are better than muggle inventions. They miss out on a lot because of this. (Arthur Weasley deserves more credit)

MrsJayy · 29/09/2018 19:37

I dont get how the weasleys are so poor surely they could magic up some new clothes for the kids the robes Ron had at the ball must have been foosty and dusty

Helendee · 29/09/2018 19:37

I agree, miserable buggers lol. The films and books are perfect as they are, the early films were all the more charming because of their gaucheness and the acting definitely improved film by film. I love it!

ClashCityRocker · 29/09/2018 19:43

The thing I don't get, if voldemorts got so many followers and given how dumbledore seems to employ any man jack and his dog on the staff...

Couldnt someone have just stabbed him or something?

lolarose896 · 29/09/2018 19:45

The 3rd one will always be my favorite because it was the first one I was old enough to go to the pictures to see Grin

MrsJayy · 29/09/2018 19:46

This thread got dark now we are stabbing wizards 😲

MrsJayy · 29/09/2018 19:47

Cheers lola you have made me feel ancient [

shakeyourcaboose · 29/09/2018 19:51

There's a v interesting fanfic about what would have happened if Hermione was sorted into Slytherin and they had her brains on their side!

Dandybelle · 29/09/2018 19:53

I luffs HP but I just pick holes in the films all the time because they miss out so much important stuff from the books. I still love it though.
