If you are a Potterhead, please stay on this website. If you are a muggle (no-maj, not magical), click on the link and GET OFF!
If you haven't read or seen the whole series and don't want to get some huge spoilers, I suggest you get off now and go finish reading and/or watching.
Here I go... Albus Dumbledore, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, Fred Weasley, Bellatrix Lestrange, Hedwig, Mad-eye (Alastor) Moody, Dobby, Hagrid's chickens (Chamber of secrets), Cedric Diggory, Aragog, Peter Pettigrew, and Voldemort (Tom Riddle) are all dead. But we should not pity the dead. We should pity the living. And above all, those who live without love.
A thousand years or more ago,
When I was newly sewn,
There lived four wizards of renown,
Whose names are still well known:
Bold Gryffindor, from wild moor,
Fair Ravenclaw, from glen,
Sweet Hufflepuff, from valley broad,
Shrewd Slytherin, from fen.
They shared a wish, a hope, a dream,
They hatched a daring plan
To educate young sorcerers
Thus Hogwarts School began.
Now each of these four founders
Formed their own house, for each
Did value different virtues
In the ones they had to teach.
By Gryffindor, the bravest were
Prized far beyond the rest;
For Ravenclaw, the cleverest
Would always be the best;
For Hufflepuff, hard workers were
Most worthy of admission;
And power-hungry Slytherin
Loved those of great ambition.
While still alive they did divide
Their favorites from the throng,
Yet how to pick the worthy ones
When they were dead and gone?
Twas Gryffindor who found the way,
He whipped me off his head
The founders put some brains in me
So I could choose instead!
Now slip me snug about your ears,
I've never yet been wrong,
I'll have a look inside your mind
And tell where you belong!
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble
Something wicked this way comes
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
Something wicked this way comes!
I think in that 19 years later scene, we were all touched in the heart. Getting to see the golden trio with their kids was so amazing. And the part when Harry tells Albus Severus Potter about the sorting hat, we were so touched. It's also awesome that we get to know the names of all of Harry and Ginny's children. (James Sirius Potter, Albus Severus Potter, and Lily Luna Potter.) And then Ron and Hermione's kids' names. (Rose and Hugo Weasley)
Have you ever noticed that everyone in the whole 'Harry Potter' franchise's hair changes by year except for Snape? Yeah, look!

There were once three brothers who were traveling along a lonely, winding road, at twilight. In time, the brothers reached a river too treacherous to pass but being taught in the magical arts the three brothers simply waved their wands and made a bridge. Before they could cross the bridge, however, they found their path blocked by a hooded figure, it was Death and he felt cheated, cheated because travelers would normally drown in the river. But death was cunning, he pretended to congratulate the three brothers on their magic and said they'd each earned a prize for having been clever enough to evade him.
The oldest asked for a wand more powerful than any in existence, so death fashioned him one from an elder tree that stood nearby. The second brother decided that he wanted to humiliate Death even further and asked for the power to recall loved ones from the grave, so Death plucked a stone from the river and offered it to him. Finally, death turned to the third brother, a humble man, he asked for something that would allow him to go forth from that place without being followed by death, and so it was that Death reluctantly handed over his own cloak of invisibility.
The first brother traveled to a distant village, where with the elder wand in his hand he killed a wizard with whom he had once quarreled. Drunk with the power that the elder wand had given him, he bragged over his invincibility. But that night, another wizard stole the wand and slit the brother's throat for good measure, and so Death took the first brother for his own.
The second brother journeyed to his home where he took the stone and turned it thrice in hand. To his delight, the girl who he had once hoped to marry before her untimely death appeared before him, yet soon she turned sad and cold, for she did not belong in the mortal world. Driven mad with hopeless longing, the second brother killed himself to join her, and so Death took the second brother.
As for the third brother, Death searched for many years but was never able to find him. Only when he attained a great age did the youngest brother shed the cloak of invisibility and gave it to his son. Then he greeted Death as an old friend and went with him gladly to parting his life, as equals.
So, if you don't know what Fantastic Beasts is, it's pretty much that The year is 1926, and Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures. Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident, were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt's fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds. It has a 5 out of 5-star rating, and I give it the same.
Then There's also another movie that's coming out called "Fantastic Beasts Crimes Of Grindelwald" and the plot line is pretty much that In an effort to thwart Grindelwald's plans of raising pure-blood wizards to rule over all non-magical beings, Albus Dumbledore enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided world. And so far, it has a 3.5 out of 5-star rating but I personally would give it a full 5 stars.
I'm just letting you know, these are not my opinions, I found all of these ratings on commonsensemedia.org
Name | Book | Movie |
Sorcerer's Stone | 5/5 stars | 5/5 stars |
Chamber of Secrets | 4/5 stars | 5/5 stars |
Prisoner of Azkaban | 5/5 stars | 5/5 stars |
Goblet of Fire | 5/5 stars | 4/5 stars |
Order of the Phoenix | 5/5 stars | 4/5 stars |
Half-blood Prince | 5/5 stars | 4/5 stars |
Deathly Hallows | 5/5 stars | 4/5 stars |
Now, now, hear me out.
Before you get super angry at me for saying this, saying that Dumbledore is like, your favorite character, there are plenty reasons behind this statement.
1 | Straight up at the BEGINNING OF THE WHOLE THING Dumbledore leaves a BABY in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT on a DOORSTEP. |
2 | Also, he doesn't tell Harry pretty much ANYTHING he need to know. | 3 | When Harry just randomly ends up in the Triwizard Tournament Dumbledore calls NO INVESTIGATION and acts like it's no big deal. |
4 | He doesn't do anything about the ghost of a girl that DIED just hanging around the school bathrooms. |
5 | He locks Sirius Black up in the house he was ABUSED AND PUNISHED in as a child after he had spent TWELVE YEARS IN PRISON. |
6 | And then he lets Snape carry on teaching at Hogwarts knowing FULL WELL that he's a MAJOR DOUCHE to ALL the students just to keep him close. |
7 | Dumbledore doesn't know (and if he does he sure doesn't give a crap) about the teacher in HIS school with VOLDEMORT GROWING OUT OF HIS HEAD. |
8 | Time and time again, CHILDREN figure stuff out before him. CHILDREN. |
9 | ONE TEACHER PER SUBJECT FOR HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS??!!? |
10 | AND AND AND!!!!!! He doesn't even think that maybe it might be a LITTLE BIT OF A GOOD IDEA to get all the kids in the school to learn how to cast A PATRONUS, when there are DEMENTORS FLOATING AROUND. |
11 | Also, this seems to be his excuse to get out of anything and move responsibility onto someone else."All exams have been cancelled!" |
12 | He helps foster a community of competition, wrongful stereotyping of CHILDREN, and generalizations based on which "house" you got put in. |
13 | He started the end of year feast with green Slytherin banners everywhere, then he just stands up an goes "Just kidding! Gryffindor actually won so.... yeah." no wonder why the Slytherins are so angry. |
14 | He never told Harry that he was going to need to die in the end. |
