"In the novels, apart from the cave, the locations of the other Horcrux are all based on Harry's intuition," Rupert said. "He's always right in that respect, even when Hermione and Ron deny it. Godric's Hollow, which seems wrong, isn't wrong either, because Nagini was lying in ambush there, is also Horcrux."

(Dumbledore: "I had this in mind for a while, probably because Harry is also one of Voldemort's Horcrux.")

(Voldemort: "Now I finally understand why only those I mark are considered children of Prophecy, while those I turn into Horcrux are like a hyena with a keen sense of smell, always able to find the carrion I've hidden.")

"Professor Slughorn." Ron in the movie guessed the name of the professor Harry was closest to Voldemort when he was still a student. "No wonder Dumbledore insisted on inviting him back to Hogwarts."

(Slughorn's expression remained unchanged. Tom Riddle was a good and great person in both other worlds, which proved that his judgment was correct.)

(Dumbledore was a bit embarrassed; his conversation with Harry in the movie gave him the feeling of a brothel madam forcing a woman into prostitution.)

"Isn't that obvious? He likes outstanding students the most, and who could be more outstanding than Voldemort?" Draco said in the novel.

(Slughorn nodded slightly.)

"The scene changed again, a caged bird, and then... it's me, a good metaphor, I'm here." Draco speculated in the film, "The Room of Requirement? And then again..."

"The stadium!" Movie Ron perked up. "Sure enough, I'm in there. But why am I so distraught? Could it be because my outstanding performance in the Order of the Phoenix changed my status to Half-Blood Prince?"

Rupert shook his head. "You always lack confidence, even though you perform very well."

"Who is this annoying guy?" Movie Ron frowned. "He not only wants my goalkeeper position, but he also wants to know Hermione."

"He was at the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes," Neville said. "He made eye contact with Hermione."

"Cormac McCormack," Rupert said. "I thought you knew him. He's Gryffindor, right? He's a lowerclassman and spent half a semester in the hospital because he ate Doxy egg in a bet."

"Why did the picture suddenly go blurry? What just happened?" Movie Ron asked. "I think I won? How did I win?"

Hermione used Confundus Charm to help you, so Rupert thought, "I won't get the close-up of Hermione looking at me anymore."

But he didn't say it aloud.

He suspected that Basil was responsible.

Although this Hermione doesn't look like Basil's girlfriend, she is also named Hermione Granger.

Rupert knew who Basil was; he had already learned about his great achievements from Ron in the movie—a wizard with the potential to change and rule the world.

"I told you, you just lack a little confidence," Rupert said.

No one else doubted Rupert's words.

Previously, due to Ron's messy writing in the novel, most of the Goblet of Fire had been skipped; now, only a few scenes have been skipped.

"Haha, look at Hermione's expression, she's jealous," Ron from the movies slapped his thigh. "She's jealous that Harry became number one."

Harry shook his head. "She must be worried about 'me,' like Ginny in the movie."

"I still think she's jealous," said Ron from the movie. "Ginny is understandable; she's been misled by books."

"Get your filthy mouth off my sister's mouth, Dean Thomas!" The movie Ron Red War went viral.

Ron from the novel joined in the shouting a few times, but he didn't feel involved.

(Cedric grinned smugly; now it was Harry's turn.)

(Harry was indeed very embarrassed, especially since Dean was his roommate whom he saw every day.)

"What was skipped again?" Neville felt something was missing; Hermione seemed to have said something.

"It's nothing," Rupert said, skipping over Hermione's example of her and Ron, and what would happen if Ginny saw them kissing.

In short, he became even more certain of his idea.

Harry realized that Rupert seemed to be hiding something, but he didn't investigate further and his attention returned to the movie.

"Harry and Hermione were invited, but not me?" Movie Ron, a member of the Slug Club, questioned his existence. "And they even called me by the wrong last name—Wallerby."

Given that the Weasley family are very famous in the Wizarding World, calling them by the wrong name could only be intentional.

(Slughorn awkwardly took a sip of sherry. Was he supposed to say you were just an extra treat for Harry?)

Draco frowned in the movie, "That's ridiculous, I wouldn't have gotten it wrong."

"Actually, Old Crouch is also called 'Mistake' in the novel, to Percy," Rupert said. "It's actually quite ironic that Percy worked so hard under him, trying to get close to him, especially since Percy had such an excellent resume and he could even call Mr. Weasley by name."

"However, I think it's very likely intentional, because in the next paragraph he calls out Mr. Weasley's name."

"The text also describes his surprise at Percy's obsequiousness—bowing and bowing like a hunchback. He probably never imagined that his subordinate, the son of his principled colleague, would be like this."

"Stop talking," said Movie Ron. "Percy must be so ashamed. There's nothing we can do about it; his brain's been ruined by books like 'How Prefect Gain Power.' Or maybe he just followed the wrong leader; Fudge would love him."

"That's why Fudge brought him along in the previous storyline."

(Percy: "Ron, shut up!")

(This is the most insulting thing to say to Fudge now that Fudge true colors have been revealed.)

Rupert glanced at the movie Ron and said, "You fucking said something even worse, telling me not to say it."

(Katy Bell: I'm going to die in the movie, can't I just watch the movie?)

"This must be Katy from the movie," Harry realized belatedly, recalling Rupert's earlier comment, "It looks really scary."

"So this is what Lini looks like in your world."

"What do you mean 'when something happens, the three of us are always involved'?" Ron from the movie complained. "Professor McGonagall is really something. It's amazing that she always finds us when something happens. Harry is so clever; he guessed it right away. It was Malfoy who did it."

"Snape was definitely telling the truth at that moment. But it sounded a bit sarcastic, 'The Star of Salvation is just that amazing.'"

"It's half truth and half irony," Rupert said. "He's mocking Harry for suspecting Draco without any evidence, but he's actually hoping Harry will provide some compelling evidence to stop Dumbledore's suicide plan."

"But Harry didn't say anything, he just said he knew."

(Snape: "Mr. Glint, I remember you're almost thirty. You should say something more mature. Personally, I'd love to take on the role of the greatest White Wizard executioner, like in the movies.")

"I got goosebumps. Was I deaf in the movie?" Ron in the movie got goosebumps. "Harry said he didn't know what Dean liked about Ginny, and then a whole bunch of things came out: smart, funny, charming, great skin."

(Ginny blushed, and was also annoyed by Ron's question about the word "charm" in the movie. "Ron Weasley, do you think I have no charm at all?")

("And, 'I've fallen for my sister's skin,' what a load of rubbish!")

Ron from the movie is now very grateful to be in another world.

"'I didn't notice,' Harry said. 'Something must be missing.'"

Rupert nodded. "But it's just a lot of boring nonsense."

If you say Hermione's skin is also good.

Rupert changed the subject, "This scene should actually have taken place on the train. Slughorn couldn't wait to invite Harry so late. Ginny was also among those invited (Ron in the movie: 'What? My sister is here, but not me?' He omitted the fact that Neville was also in this line), because her Bat Swarm Curse was beautiful."

"It's in the movie too, but the reason for the invitation wasn't shown on screen."

(Percy blurted out, "Playing magic on a train is against school rules, especially a curse.")

(Ginny: "Percy, you've graduated and you're no longer Prefect.")

(Dumbledore: "I believe Miss Weasley has a valid reason.")

"In the novels Harry is actually very averse to the Slug Club gatherings. Except for the one on the train, which he couldn't avoid, he would skip them every time under the pretext of Quidditch practice in order to take care of Ron's feelings."

"Harry ~" Ron looked at Harry with emotion.

Ron in the movie pursed his lips, getting a little jealous. "Harry in the novel is really inconsiderate. This is a mission assigned by Dumbledore, and it's related to defeating Voldemort."

(Ginny is speechless. I'm your sister! In the movie, I have a scar on my face that's supposed to be related to Dean, and you don't care at all? All you do is get jealous? It's your brother-in-law's scar!)

"What happened to Ginny's eyes? I don't see any injury or signs of crying."

(Ginny: "Oh, you finally noticed.")

Neville guessed, "Hermione probably just said it casually. She already knew Ginny liked Harry and was just setting up Ginny to attract Harry's attention."

"Maybe," said Movie Ron. "Harry is so obvious, I bet everyone can tell he likes Ginny. And that McCormack thing is disgusting, sucking his fingers and winking at Hermione."

"I'm a girl, I'm definitely going to give him a Bat Swarm Curse!"

(McCormack trembled, praying he wouldn't do anything more outrageous to Hermione in the movie, otherwise even if Basil Granger himself didn't intervene, his self-organized personal guard wouldn't let him off the hook.)

"Potter." Draco squinted. "Slughorn must have realized Harry's intentions were off, so he changed his address to his surname. 'Whether the sand slips through your fingers depends on how well the conversation goes.' Sure enough, I was right!"

In the movie, Draco glances at his younger, otherworldly self with surprise. He knows this version of himself is better than him, but he didn't expect that this includes his insight. Is it because his father in this world died?

It's a pity my dad only went to jail.

Pooh.

Fortunately, he only ended up in jail.

"Harry is so direct," Neville exclaimed. "He asked Professor Slughorn directly about Voldemort and said he hoped the professor would understand because he killed his parents."

Rupert explained, "The pacing here is indeed a bit fast. In the novel, Harry's contact with Slughorn involves seeing the false memories first, and then he tries to get the real memories. This part wasn't shown because of the film's length."

"This shot is good; it focuses on the hourglass," said Draco. "The sand is going by very fast, which perfectly matches what Professor Slughorn said earlier, 'When the conversation is going well, the sand goes by slowly,' and now it's just not going well."

"Stop talking about camera angles, you want to be a director in the Muggle World?" Movie Ron, getting a little impatient. "I'm about to go on stage. What if I do a bad job in the movie?"

Neville once had a crush on Ginny, said, "Hermione said Harry would definitely be very satisfied with Ginny as the final dessert, I mean. If it were me in the movie, I would definitely think that way. I only like Hannah!"

(Hannah tugged at her braid.)

Rupert said, "Don't worry—"

Before he could even offer a word of comfort, Ron from the movie immediately perked up, "Lavender, cheer me on!"

This made Ron overlook the fact that Hermione had just mentioned her Christmas dance partner in the movie, and it seemed like there was more to it.

"The casting of Luna was really good, and the plot was well-designed," Rupert said. "She discovered Harry's scheme—pretending to put Felix Felicis in Ron's drink and being caught by Ron —so she brought it up to cover for Harry."

"It was all an act," Movie Ron grinned. "So I really did play that well, not because of Felix Felicis! I knew I had the potential. I just lacked a bit of confidence."

"Weasley Is Our King here; just repeating Weasley is too monotonous."

"Hermione used Confundus Charm during the Selections? Could it be something we skipped before? But who cares! I'm with Lavender —in the movie!"

(Lavender: "That's great, Ro-Ro, if only we could do that now.")

"They skipped over a few more scenes, this time a lot, and went straight to the Yule Ball, where Harry and Luna became dance partners!"

(Ginny was incredibly grateful that Luna also got together with Basil, otherwise she was afraid she wouldn't be able to compete with Luna. As the movie progressed, her shining qualities emerged one after another.)

"And then I went to the Room of Requirement," Draco said in the movie, "To test the Vanishing Cabinet."

"I became a waiter at the Slug Club's Yule Ball," Neville said. "The scene jumped again, so it seems this really wasn't an illusion."

Rupert said, "Don't worry, it's just a minor detail."

"Haha!" Ron the movie laughed out loud. "McCormack threw up on Snape. That jerk is finally in trouble. He'll have to stay in jail every month! Look at Snape, even though he's unhappy, he still has to pass on a message to Dumbledore!"

"And Malfoy, he was caught by Filch!"

"It seems that if Dumbledore doesn't go easy on you, you have no chance of success at all."

(With this scene, Hogwarts, whose safety was precarious in the eyes of the audience, became slightly more stable.)

(Filch shouts in the Great Hall, "I've caught Death Eater!")

In the movie, Draco says nonchalantly, "Of course, Hogwarts is the safest place. I'm just a student."

"You're so stupid," Draco chimed in. "Snape was clearly helping you, but you thought he was competing with you for favor. You really think Voldemort's favor is one thing, but I wasn't much better in the novels."
