Albus Dumbledore

welcome to hogwarts

The superior Dumbledore.

Can we all agree? I fucking I guess we got John Lithgow, but I love Richard Harris.

He

It's hard for me to picture him in those scenes like in Or the Phoenix where he's fighting.

You know, can I picture Richard Harris in that scene fighting Voldemort? Can you picture him doing this? I think I could.

I think you just get a very different type of Dumbledore, obviously, in that.

But I mean, I could see it.

Yeah, it's like they enticed the Lemurians with this technology and whatever else that looked like and almost created a breakaway civilization, Atlantis.

And maybe it was the beginning of the Dumbledore.

Oh,

yeah.

Lee Han chose Voldemort and Una, he originally wanted the Harry Potter wand, but for some reason, like when they were opening their boxes outside, he's like, wait a second, this is not Harry Potter.

This is Dumbledore.

And then Lee Han was like, it's okay.

He's a good guy.

Yeah, he's a good guy.

Good old Dumbledore.

Right.

Meanwhile, he has fucking Voldemort.

It has been years since he felt truly comfortable in his old school.

Dumbledore welcomed them with a warm smile and a firm handshake, indicating where they were to sit.

Although the players seemed delighted by the occasion, George took his seat without saying a single word.

Simus and Russell settled to his right, while Avinka and the others sat in front of him.

It was an unprecedented occasion.

Hogwarts would soon be welcoming young witches and wizards from across the world, not only for the Quidditch tournament, but also for the legendary Tree Wizard tournament.

There is much to be done, Dumbledore continued.

and we shall require the cooperation of every student and member of the staff if we are to make this location worthy part of Howard's legacy.

It makes sense that the elder wand would be able to repair it when nothing else will, kind of.

But then his plan is to like, oh, well, I'll just put it back in Dumbledore's grave and then I'll never lose a duel and then the magic will die with me.

uh which doesn't really make that much sense either so yeah it's kind of um you know both scenes are problematic but uh yeah him breaking the wand is just very i don't know sudden and unexpected which is maybe what they were going for you know for your first time seeing it expecting it to go one way and then he does the opposite so i don't love it but i think it does bother most people more than me but also i uh you know don't really watch the movies that much so what do i know

i tell you guys this is gonna be a long night for me if the main reason for all of these uh this is annoying and it really comes down to because it's not how they did it in the book like if that's their chief complaint Personally, I like it.

Like the, why would they make that as a change? Because that's, that had to be a very thoughtful change.

Mostly, uh, we don't want to go through the expense of like going back to the tomb and shooting that whole sequence and like a whole thing, watching him put it back in there.

Plus we'd have to have dead Dumbledore back and all that sort of, and now let's just have him break it and throw it and it'll be fine.

And they didn't go back there in the books.

And it, it's like, it's rough.

Like Winky loses her job and Dumbledore takes her in at the castle.

And so then Hermione is like talking to all the house elves.

There's this whole Hermione storyline where she's like all about house elf rights and is trying to start this whole organization called spew.

And he's like, no, please take it because what's about to happen, the world is going to need happiness and jokes because shit's about to get fucking real.

Another thing is, like, they do it in the next movie, but...

The end of this book, Dumbledore's the only one that believes Harry, even though a whole stadium full of people are looking at Cedric's dead body.

Yeah.

And Harry is in this ethereal king's cross station and kind of a heavenly realm.

And he turns to Dumbledore, whose ghost comes to him and his soul comes to him.

And he says, Professor, is this real?

Or has this been happening in my head?

And Dumbledore responds to him.

He says, of course it's happening in your head, Harry.

Why on earth would that mean it's not real? And maybe in prayer, when we use our imagination, we think the devil wants to sit and say, you're making

He says he bought a golden harp and he got a harp player to play it for him at sunset and stuff like that.

And I've been kind of having fun and joking about how he's hired Dobie the house elf from Harry Potter and he wants to replace Brad Stevens with Dumbledore and stuff like that.

I am not joking you.

Stiz just sent me.
