Weasley family

And they go get him.

And so there's like a little bit of buildup there and it explains more why he's at the Weasleys.

They're like, oh yeah, you're going to the world cup and school starts like three weeks after that.

So you might as well just stay with the Weasleys anyway, kind of thing.

Like, so they do explain that more in the books.

Gotcha.

He does start at the Dursleys, and then they come get him, and there's this weird altercation like there always is with Vernon and the Weasley's dad.

I think he actually has to

No, before the rise of the Nagarns.

So you had a human empire that may have been influenced by this land because of the evidence of pyramids, the mummification rituals, and their use of priest kings, and the importance of treasure, and chambers of secrets, Ginny Weasley, and the Weasleys, and so on.

The claim is sort of presented as this link that we have in our own worlds where what we call them.

History people fight...

Harry Wiki.

So that means that she probably knew Charlie, probably knew the Weasleys.

I've

always wondered that.

Like we can we can let some of these things go.

it is great how instantly Molly's treatment is like counter to what he experienced before it's funny because when Harry gets on the train oh it's actually a beautiful moment when he says I don't know where I'm like he doesn't know where he's going but it's got to be better what he's leaving behind and the way he instantly reads Draco and the way he instantly has that warmth towards the Weasleys who could have come off as bullies or scarier you know with the way the twins were acting and stuff it is really well we have a

really great episode on Molly Weasley and a deep dive into why she was the best.

But I think it is really telling that she has no idea who Harry is at the beginning, right? Yeah, she's still kind to this kid and she's very, I mean, you can contrast that with Malfoy and how he was a little douche nozzle from the very beginning.

But it shows that they just have this like easy friendship.

Their personalities complement each other.

And like it starts over like, get dirt on your nose and you want to share some sandwich but obviously it grows into a whole lot more but again there's a lot of that kindness that just kind of starts from the Weasleys we know that they're good the twins do the same thing right they help Harry with his trunk before they know who he is and so there's not really any sucking up going on or anything there's just kindness and then being they find themselves in similar situations in some ways between Ron and Harry they both feel kind of insecure and things and that that's what bots initially i think

i think there's some little moments here that are really important too when harry just brushes his hair aside and the twins see the scar and harry kind of realizes how famous he is like that that icon like no one would know what he looks like and yet that icon already means so much and then they talk about voldemort's name and how taboo it is for other people to say um just harry kind of recognizing his place and how ignorant he is.

That attendance is mandatory at the Ministry slash Voldemort's direction.

I'm actually surprised still, though, that the Weasleys in particular are letting Ginny... go to school because they're a big part of this resistance.

So you'd think they'd just say, yeah, no, we're not letting our kids go back.

On the other hand, I guess it is night now.

And so, yeah, I do think it's changed because it became tolerable to start attacking your own, you know, populace, basically.

And Voldemort's running the show! Enough said!

Essentially, it's a really good example of how quickly an institution will crumble depending on you know who ends up holding the reins and i think they're you know like any other institution any other culture in the world there are always going to be these um implicit biases you know like y'all were talking about how there's always been an air of pure blood supremacy in the Even probably well-intentioned people like the Weasleys, like we see Ron throughout this series, really struggle to view the autonomy and the personhood of house elves, for example, just because of how he was brought up.

When you're raised in a society that places so much value on that, It's it makes a whole lot of sense that it will come through in the way that legislation is passed and the way that education is regulated.

Yeah, what in the world? So in the book, Ginny has gone home due to the dangers at Hogwarts.

And when the trio visits the Lovegood's home, they're near the Weasleys and Harry yearns to see her.

But there's no mention of that happening in the movie.

They just go to the Lovegood's.
