Dean Thomas

But he needs to put on this portrayal of horrible, hard-nut Slytherin that... that gets what he wants when he wants because his father's important.

I just think there's so many points to characters and the way they are that this day is so important to every single person that I think I could be here forever arguing about what this day means to even Dean Thomas and... minerva mcgonagall like i could sit here all day and argue that point

i think what i love about first of september and actually what i love about both of ours is we both pick dates that typically set up the events of the book to come i think it's a little bit more obvious on halloween because it's things like the names coming out of the of the Goblet of Fire, the Chamber of Secrets being opened.

But the 1st of September normally always has subtle hints to what to expect later.

The trio overhear a group of people that are on the run in the chapter The Goblin's Revenge.

And he is on the run, Ted is, with Dirk Cresswell, Dean Thomas and two goblins, Griphook and Gornuk.

And so like the trio over here.

And I think if I'm remembering correctly, Harry's like, oh, that's Ted.

Alrighty.

Honorable mention to Dean Thomas for getting a hold of a wand and kicking

it.

Thank you for that.

And then you were cast as Alfie's double.

Which is Dean Thomas' double.

But when did you start on the films with that, though? Because you went from the beginning, were you?

No, so I think it was the second and the third film.

I mean, Alfie was in and out.

I remember in the fourth film, Alfie was in and out, in and out, because he had exams and he had this, that.

So sometimes there'll be the back of your head and you think it's Dean Thomas and it's not.

And it was a running joke within the cast.

snubbing dean

they only find grip hook luna and olivander but yeah dean thomas is meant to be there too so also in the book wormtail tries to strangle harry but harry reminds him that he owes him a life debt and when when wormtail hesitates His silver hand turns on him and he unwillingly strangles himself.

But in the movie, he just gets stunned.

Yeah, he doesn't even die.

Can you ever really do that, though? If one world requires you to keep it secret, where you can't use magic, all you can ever do is take the n- the Muggle world to the non-magical world, which we see Colin kind of do.

We see even Dean Thomas, who's not Muggle-born, we see him do it, too, right? But like, there's not anything that you can really take from the magical world into the non-magical world.

Maybe an owl.

Maybe your pet.

Sorry.

And in the book, while on the run, the trio almost encounters Dean Thomas, Griphook, Ted Tonks, who doesn't exist, Dirk Cresswell, and Gornuk.

But in the movie, that does not happen.

And instead, the Snatchers smell Hermione's perfume.

And she is even harsher with Ron.

When Ron catches her kissing her boyfriend, Dean Thomas, he tries to slut-shame her.

He throws this massive hypocritical tantrum in the hallway.

And her response to Ron is instantaneous and surgical.

But the books, the books feature a slow burn, intense, highly organic buildup that takes an entire year to boil over.

Yes.

In the Half-Blood Prince book, Harry walks in on Ginny kissing her boyfriend, Dean Thomas, and instead of just feeling a bit sad or awkward, Harry experiences what the book explicitly describes as a monster waking up in his chest.

The monster.

know he was okay yeah you know who I'm referring

to Dean Thomas I want to say

he was Wes Gibbons in the legal thriller television series how to get away with murder No, it's

Harry Potter.
