(However, their hearts didn't sink; Harry's strange behavior in the film caught their attention.)

"Is this... Harry trying to attack Dumbledore?" Neville, somewhat surprised.

("Poor child," Mrs. Weasley sighed, "He's being driven crazy by a summer of isolation and distrust from his classmates.")

"It must be Voldemort's influence," Ron guessed. "Isn't this... the lesson Rupert was talking about? Snape is going to teach Harry Legilimency?"

Rupert nodded.

Ron frowned. "Voldemort is disgusting. He kills people, and before killing them, he likes to invade their minds, torture them, and then kill them. It's like—"

"It's like a snake," Harry said, his face full of disgust. "It fills its prey with Venom before swallowing it, or it strangles and tortures its prey with its cold body before swallowing it."

His shadow twitched, and the faint sound of a snake flicking its tongue could be heard.

Rupert changed the subject, "In the novel, Snape actually almost saw Harry's memory of kissing Cho Chang."

(Cedric takes a deep breath; he feels like he's almost desensitized.)

"It's a pity that Christmas is in St Mungo's's in the novel, and Neville and his parents would also appear."

Neville's lips twitched.

Rupert, oblivious, continued, "They also removed many interesting details, Dobby's gift and the book Sirius gave us, 'Practical Defense Magic and Its Countermeasures Against the Dark Magic,' from which Harry benefited greatly and ultimately used it in his teaching at DA."

(Sirius: "I'm also disappointed. Kreacher is back. I still don't really like him, but for Regulus Black's sake... It's funny, I haven't talked to Harry about my family in such detail before, about me living with James after I turned 16.")

"In the novel, Harry mainly talks about these feelings with Ginny. Ginny notices that something is wrong with his emotions and brings up her experience and feelings of being possessed by Voldemort. Then Hermione and Ron comfort him and make him realize that he is not the 'weapon' that Voldemort is looking for."

(Ginny sighed, suddenly wishing this scene could happen in real life, as it would bring her and Harry closer.)

"In the novel, Cho Chang was actually jealous because as soon as Hermione called Harry, Harry left and abandoned her."

(Harry: "But I did it because of Hagrid.")

"Actually, the biggest reason why Cho Chang and Harry broke up was Hermione."

(Harry is completely confused.)

Cho Chang thought Hermione and Harry were too close.

"On Valentine's Day, while on a date with Cho Chang, he even brought up the idea of seeing Hermione later."

(Hermione: "Valentine's Day? Are you out of your mind, Harry? There's a good thing about lying sometimes.")

(She was a little angry because her relationship with Harry was less like friends and more like that of a mother and son.)

(For a moment, she forgot her surprise at Dumbledore sending Hagrid to find the Giant in the movie.)

"There's also the matter of Cho Chang's friend Marietta. She did betray D. A., but Cho Chang felt that her friend's punishment was too severe. She thought Hermione was too harsh. And Harry sided with Hermione."

"Of course, it's also because of Cedric. She always thinks of Harry when she's with him."

"In fact, Cho Chang never got over the pain of losing Cedric. After graduating, she left the wizarding world and married a Muggle who looked a lot like Cedric."

("Qiu." Cedric's eyes reddened slightly as he hugged Cho Chang tightly.)

"By the way," Rupert brought the topic back to the movie, "In the novel, Hagrid went with Madame Maxime, and they both had Giant blood."

(Hagrid nestled into Madame Maxime's arms like a little girl.)

(Given that his Giant bloodline is now an advantage for the Dark Magic Fairy [Path] modification, he cares more about Maxime accompanying him on his adventure.)

"Not entirely?" Ron from the movie questioned. "Who caused Hagrid's injuries? Madame Maxime? She likes to hit people when she's drunk?"

("Olympe is not that kind of person!" Hagrid immediately exclaimed.)

"Yes—" Rupert was about to explain when Neville said with a look of disgust, "Bellatrix."

In the movie Draco, "Since the Death Eater have escaped, everyone should believe—what? Sirius?"

"Fudge won't admit it now either?" Movie Ron was speechless. "And he still claims it was Sirius broke him out of prison?"

"He's like an ostrich burying its head in the sand," Ron the novelist quipped.

"'I' must have been furious." Neville noticed his own expression as he put down the newspaper in the movie. "But thankfully, Seamus realized Merlin's Beard! How could I talk to Harry about my parents? It's not that he's bad, I would have preferred Hannah."

(Hannah blushed as red as an apple.)

(Seamus: "Great, I didn't go down a dead end.")

(He was very pleased with his performance in the movie and readily admitted his mistake to Harry.)

(After the movie was released, he received many private messages filled with vicious curses, saying that he was unworthy to be Harry Potter's roommate.)

"The novel explicitly states that Cho Chang and Hermione summoned the Patronus with physical bodies."

"But."

"Because Cho Chang became the traitor in the movie, right?" Movie Ron had already noticed the sudden change in the atmosphere in the movie. "It must be that Cho Chang brought Umbridge with him."

"And me too." The next second after Draco said that, he appeared behind Umbridge, dragging Cho Chang along, like a villain who had kidnapped innocent women. "Damn it, Cedric will be furious."

Rupert cautioned, "You'll all be speechless later. I also think the director didn't do a good job. In the novel Dumbledore casually knocks Fudge and the others out of the Headmaster's Office."

(Grindelwald: ".")

"I already had a bad feeling." Ron sighed, rubbing his forehead. "Percy, what's he doing here?"

(Fred: "We expected this—")

(George: "Percy, the model student!")

(Fred: "He's obsessed with becoming Minister for Magic.")

(George: "Whoever wins, he stands there.")

(Mrs. Weasley: "Shut up, Fred, George!")

(Percy blushed deeply with embarrassment.)

"I should have expected this. Percy is that kind of person. He doesn't mind doing things like this to get promoted," Ron sighed.

(Grindelwald: "Poor little boy, because of Albus's cowardice, he overlooked the true nature of power. Magic is the foundation of power. He who possesses the most powerful magic possesses the greatest power.")

"Boys and girls must stand at least eight inches apart." To lighten the mood, Harry joked, "If Basil were here, Umbridge would be in big trouble. Those crazy girls would tear her to shreds."

"Disgusting." Movie Ron frowned. "Filch is actually enjoying it, and Umbridge, haha, look at Fred's face, she's in for it!"

(Cedric was also very happy; Cho Chang and Harry had finally broken up, and he would no longer see Cho Chang and Harry being affectionate.)

Rupert nodded. "That part wasn't filmed very well either. Mainly because Peeves was missing. After Fred and George left, Peeves actually followed their orders and played a lot of pranks, but the professors all turned a blind eye. Professor McGonagall even instructed Peeves on how to properly loosen the chandelier."

("What?")

(The Hogwarts students began to doubt whether they had heard correctly.)

(Not only was Peeves obeying the students' orders, but Professor McGonagall was also acting quite unconventionally.)

The camera pans.

"A Giant?" Ron from the movie was exasperated.

First came the Acromantula, then the Giant.

Hagrid always seemed to think his dangerous friends were safe.

Rupert tried to comfort him, saying, "In the novel, you're actually playing Quidditch right now."

"Me?" Ron was overjoyed.

Ron in the movie also smiled.

"Yes." Rupert nodded. "Harry was kicked out of the Quidditch team because of Umbridge, and of course, you were the goalkeeper. You did a great job in that game, and Gryffindor won the Quidditch Cup."

"The Gryffindor will carry you on their shoulders and sing 'Weasley Is Our King.'"

"You even composed a song?" Ron, the novelist, was practically floating on air. "I've decided. After watching the movie, I'm going to find Wood and apply to join the Quidditch team."

Ron looked at his hands. "I never knew I had this potential. I should have known better. I'm Charlie's brother, and Fred and George did a good job as Beater."

He instantly abandoned his resentment towards Hagrid for making them take care of Grawp.

Not to mention.

In the movie, Grawp was indeed obedient; when Hermione told him to let go, he did.

He also gave Hermione a bicycle handlebar as a gift.

Rupert then introduced Grawp, saying, "He is indeed teachable. In the novels, he can even pronounce Hermione's name, and he even joined the team that defended Hogwarts during the Battle of Hogwarts."

(Professor McGonagall, who had expressed some reservations and thought Hagrid's ideas were too far-fetched, relaxed her stern face slightly.)

"Actually, there was nothing Hagrid could do about it. Some scenes were cut from the movie."

"Grawp was considered short in the Giant Tribe and was always bullied. Even his mother didn't like him, for the same reason she didn't like Hagrid: he was too short."

"When Hagrid met him, he was almost dead."

(Hagrid's expression immediately turned serious. "I'm going to find Grawp.")

("Do you need my help?" Madame Maxime extended her right hand, which Hagrid grasped.)

(Meanwhile, Sirius's attention was entirely focused on the movie, because while Snape was teaching Harry Legilimency, he was also badmouthing James.)

("You're talking complete nonsense, Snape! James is not lazy at all!")

(Snape: "You don't deny the word arrogance?")

(Sirius: "You weren't as popular as we were back then. We were young and outstanding in every way, so it was hard not to be arrogant.")

"Didn't you say Snape didn't see Harry kiss Cho Chang?" Ron asked in the movie.

"Weasley, he's talking about the novel," Draco the Movie reminded him.

"Hey! Snape got photographed—" Ron stopped mid-sentence.

He knew how angry and upset Harry was about this last year.

(Snape was trembling with rage because the film depicted his shameful past, and even though James was different from the one in his memory, he still felt as if he were there himself.)

Harry put his hand on Ron's shoulder. "I've known what kind of person he is all along."

"In the novel, Harry sees it through the Pensieve," Rupert said.

He was about to continue by talking about the differences between the movie and the novel, but Harry froze as if he had been electrocuted.

Harry's voice became incredibly dry. "The memories in the Pensieve are usually the ones that the user frequently recalls and that bother them the most. They can only be temporarily extracted and relieved through magical means."

(Lily: "Severus.")

(She suddenly realized that Snape had never truly escaped the shadow of the hurt James had caused him.)

Were my father and the others punished afterward?

"It seems," Rupert recalled, "That didn't?"

"I finally understand why Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick have been turning a blind eye to Snape's biased behavior," Harry said in a somber tone. "It's because they've done the same thing before."

"Their actions were correct for that era; Slytherin were indeed Death Eater reserves, but as it turns out—"

("Enough, Potter!" Snape said. "While your father wasn't a good man, I wasn't innocent either. I was a full-fledged Death Eater prospect back then.")

("Because she knew that Voldemort was also Half-blood, and called himself Half-Blood Prince, she mistakenly thought that Voldemort was only promoting Pure-blood ideology to rely on the power of Pure-blood families. She naively thought that as long as I was good enough, Lily would be safe because of me.")

("Completely forgetting that Lily is a person, not my possession. She has her own family, and I despise Muggle, whom the Death Eater consider vermin.")

("Even that Prophecy was told to Voldemort by me.")

("I regretted it too late when I found out that Lily was fulfilling the Prophecy.")

(Dumbledore: "But Voldemort promised you he wouldn't harm Lily, didn't he? Yet you still come to me, for the life of James Potter, whom you hate.")

(Snape: "I did it for Lily's children. I would gladly see James Potter die.")

"He's really gone mad," Movie Ron commented while watching the live stream. "Why is he trying so hard to prove he's a bad guy?"

Then the movie's visuals caught his attention.

"That's great, Fred, George!"

"Look at how cowardly Umbridge and his gang are!"

"I really hope that Umbridge can be Diffindo like the Educational Decree on the wall."

"Harry— "

Sirius has been captured!

Rupert shook his head. "It's fake. Voldemort deliberately forged it. He wanted Harry to help him get that 'weapon.' Harry's actions instead led to— Harry, don't get agitated, I mean Sirius's death."

"But," Neville asked, puzzled, "Didn't Harry already make it clear to Snape?"

(Snape: "Lumbaton, you're obviously much smarter Potter. Anyone with eyes can see that even if I understood, I couldn't show it on the spot.")
