Dursley’s: we’re the most hated characters in the series
Umbridge: Hold my tea
You sure about that?!👏
Ha ha
The Soviet Union (not relevant) my least favorite character is the fucker who killed Hedwig
Bellatrix;hold my Sirius killing wand
I’d rather love with the Dursleys than umbridge she’s the worst
"I'll be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending I don't exist"
One of the best and most underrated lines of the series.
Carmela DS Me on Valentines Day. 😅
And the most relatable for some people on valentine's day

“Vernon’s dislike of Harry stemmed from Harry’s close resemblance to his father.”
Snape: We should hang out sometime
hahaha
Snape is a wizard tho
Make sense if u think about it. The video also stated that Vernon Dudley hated those appearing to be more ‘noble’ (like those who wore suit? Or old school?), and that’s literally what the Potter family resemble. They’re such a nobility that they’re the RIGHTFUL HEIR to the mysterious cloaking coat. And the way James acts and try to raise Harry actually resembles the traditional nobility. Snape on the other hand, although a Wizard & half-blood, probably got looked down by those more aristocratic ones (that’s maybe why James Potter & his friends were such d***s against him), and he resented them too. So they share some kind of resentment to the ‘upper class’, especially the ‘old money elites’ that the likes of Potter family resembles.
Hahaha
have y'all not watched the last movie i'm just saying Snape is good and was trying to protect Harry but was being rude cause he didn't want Harry to know plus Snape is wizard and Vernon hated magic
I love how when Hogwarts realized they couldn’t sent anymore letters to Harry, they just sent the biggest, burliest man they had to basically kidnap him.
They saved him bro. You see how brutal they treated him.
Loll
😅👌🏻
@@Spartan11117777 Hagrid busting down that door was always an iconic scene to me.
Is it really kidnapping though? More like saving an abused child from his abusers.
Everyone : I hate the Dursley’s
Everyone when Umbrige arrived : the Dursley’s are good people
Julie Sano unbrige was a bitch
so relatable lmao
Omg
Julie Sano do you know who Umbrige is she’s a teacher not Marge
Omg this is true.
1st year: the year of high voices

That conversation Dudley had with Harry before he left, telling him he doesn't think hes a waste of space meant so much more to Harry than any of them realized. Honestly it's kind of moving. I wish they had kept it in the film
yes , it is optimistic . showing people can change . Some people do change their views ; when they see the light . Dudley as a child was poisoned by his father ; who was bigoted ; probably beyond redemption but sometimes growing up and getting outside views and perhaps starting to form their own opinions . Malfoy too was beginning to see Harry was not what his father was saying and at the end was showing his will to change .
it’s canon to me
@@AnthonyBrown12324no it’s just children are always misbehaved. When Dudley grew up he was a decent person and the deleted scene showed this.
Props to Harry for not turning into a bad person. With all the mistreatment and abuse, most people who experience those situations ends up being screwed.
Mostly from suffering the lack of a food father and mother figure if all they know is bad parents.
actually not all moments were so bad, harry and big d sometimes used to play along and have little bit normal life.
same with dudley, im surprised he ended up thinking for himself towards the end. saying he didn’t understand why harry wasn’t coming and actually going up to harry saying that he didn’t think he was a waste of space. most of the time, becoming a bad person is learned behavior, you learn that from trauma and from the people you’re around and dudley grew up around some vile parents.
A lot, but not most.
He recognized how the durlseys hurt him and he realized he didn't want to make anybody else feel that way, because he never truly wanted to hurt anybody. Which is what made him a significantly better person than the dursleys, specifically Vernon and petunia.
That weird feeling when you realise Snape and Petunia actually know each other..
yes
*screaming intensifies*
And both of them weren't bad as well.
Aparna Rathore they may not have been “bad” but they were certainly asses
Yeah
“I’ll be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending that I don’t exist.”
Is it sad I can relate to that?
No I can to
I can too some days. Like if I say two words everyone says I talk to much and yells at me to shut up.
If I'm quiet they think something's wrong with me and try to get me to socialize -_-
im a error I also can relate
spitfire126 EXACTLY I say one sentence and everyone yells at me to stop talking so much and then complain when I don’t want to talk to them and it’s so frustrating
Thats exactly how my family acts. I don't understand it.
If one of Dudley's grandkids have magic it would probably make a hell of a spinoff
why not his child
In head canons (story’s after the series finish that go deep into the characters life) that Dudley had a daughter who was a witch
@@Emma-rr3kp where?!!!!
I saw headcanon videos I don’t really remember but it just said how Harry and Dudley made up then years later his daughter got her letter and was in huffelpuff
I honestly hope he does have a wizard or witch as his son or daughter.
I actually kinda like how Dudley was throughout this. He started off being an absolute piece of crap to Harry. Beat him up, took his stuff, made fun of him. But eventually he ended up maturing more after a while. he ended up trying to be nicer towards the end, even if he didnt want to admit it openly to Harry, and basically thanked him for his help with the dementors. him asking why Harry wasnt coming with them almost comes off as being concerned about it, since he knew that they were leaving to be protected and he didnt understand why harry wouldnt be coming with them for that. and even though he and Harry didnt talk much or meet up very often IRL, he still ended up being hospitable to him and sending him cards on christmas, even letting his own kids play with Harry's, assumably becoming more open to his magic and the wizarding world. It may have been mostly unseen but he still grew as a person. The Dudley from book one would never have even said "see ya harry"
Are you drunk 😂
I would like to see a film of the new generation at Hogwarts - Dudley could have met a friend of Harry's and had a magical child with her, maybe it would make Petunia change and possibly reconcile with Harry.
Harry got the worst of it in both ways. Petunia resented Harry because of his mother, Snape resented Harry because of his father!
So uM... petunia and snape then? Lmao jk
Technically she resented herself
but yeah kinda her sisters fault.
omg exactly. Youz a GeNiUs
Haha yeah
Gasp:Irony
I remember that scene when Petunia was like, "You didn't just lose a mother... I lost a sister."
SunlightAngel87 yeah but petunia didn’t like her sister she didn’t care I know because I’ve watched the cursed child and she HATED a her sister and Harry LOVED his mother as much as he hates Malfoy
@@xxkoalakoalaxx1981 The cursed child is shit and no Petunia did love Lily but was jealous because she could never be like her but after so many years pretending that she hated her the love for her was locked deep inside but in the end she did regretted not being closed with her sister and did care for harry in her own way
Kate Harris Ya idiot, Petunia did love Lily. The cursed child Is crap.
The cursed child is not the writing of Rowling
SunlightAngel87 it was beautiful.
Petunia was literally only 22/23 when her parents and sister died. Then when she's finally getting her life on track, her sister's (who she didn't get along with) son gets stuck with her. Her abuse of Harry is unacceptable but it puts into perspective how young and immature she was
No it was Dumbledore who FORCE HARRY on them and made it clear what he will do to them if ever harry WAS FORCE out of that house before he was 18. Its a very dark PLOT that was left untold.
@@darkart-mr8wu just straight up wrong and made up
@darkart1000 2000 Ikr-
A L I E
Petunia and Vernon were immature at 50 too
I feel bad for Petunia, but I feel even worse for Lily, and I admire that no matter how many times Petunia hurt her, she never stopped loving her, and always wanted to repair their relationship.

Twice Lily stood up for someone she cared deeply about, trying to make things better for them, and they both threw it directly back in her face: Petunia and Snape. Lily saw how disappointed Petunia was about being rejected from Dumbledore and said she'd change his mind. Petunia called her a freak. Lily defended Snape when he was being mercilessly bullied, and then he called her a mudblood.
I understand Petunia’s sadness and pain of being overshadowed and extremely jealous, but she has to understand that Harry, her nephew, is after all innocent. She is empathised by Potterheads, but she and Vernon should not be forgiven by passing on the anguish as an adult to a new generation. Also, Lily didn’t ask for her special quality of being a witch. It’s just genetically in her blood.
Although people empathised with Petunia for her pain and jealousy doesn't mean that people forgive her abusive actions towards Harry. After all, Harry is the only one that can forgive his aunt and uncle. She cut off her relationship with Lily because she wanted to move on from her sorrow and connection to the world that she once admired, and build a new life away from that. but with the arrival of Harry into her new world that she had built away from the wizarding world, making her efforts shattered and wasted. She has options in her hand when she received harry, either to treat him well or abuse him. it is only a matter of her decision, and she chooses to abuse him. it's a beautiful representation of how a human being is, we know what's good and what's bad, yet the heart decided it.
@@dofinoah yeah that’s so very true
@@dofinoah Petunia should've been a descent human being instead of taking her anger, jealousy, frustrations, and resent fulness of her sister into her nephew, I understand her pain but her actions cam never be justified or excused in any way, Harry doesn't deserve to be treated like that.
We could say the same thing about how Snape treated Harry because of who his dad was.

Yes, why am I imagining that? And snakes can't walk. The sneks slither. Also, here's the entire Harry Potter series in Dumbledore's eyes. 1. The year Harry saved that gem stone thingy that was my dead friend's. btw.
2. The year Harry talked to sneks
3. The year Harry met his murderer godfather who wasn't a murderer and his best friend who I made his teacher who's also a werewolf which Harry's weird book friend figured out (lot going on that year) and I heard something about a cat?
4. The year I yelled at Harry because someone who wanted to murder him put his name in this blue fire thing
5. The year I was kicked out by a pink ASSHOLE and Harry didn't even care
6. The year Harry watched me go OOF
7. The year I like talked to Harry at King's Cross because he was dead but then wasn't dead and I was like go Hare Bear lmao??

There’s a scene when petunia said to Harry “you didn’t just lose a mother, I lost a sister” but sadly they cut this scene.
I don't know if this scene is canon, but it is damn heartbreaking. Imagine a closure between Harry and her aunt.

I love the part here where Lupin, Mad Eye, Mr. Weasley, Togs, and Hermione all stand up to the troublesome Dursleys and defend Harry.
Who else cried when Dudley said that Harry wasn't a waste of space and showed gratitude? It just shows how much Dudley changed, and actually cared.
he was raised to treat harry like shit and eventually broke those bonds it was a great character development
Me... I was so happy I cried
i cried when Petunia gave Harry the blanket in her will, that was way more touching for me.
That was a beautiful moment.
U mean Dudley
Everyone here is talking about Harry being mistreated and Petunia growing up in someone else’s shadow
I‘m here feeling bad for the poor tortoise

The way Vernon crumbles when Harry pulls out his wand is too perfect shows what's a sniveling wretch he truly is.
Its rather wholesome seeing Dudley and Harry actually slightly getting along later in life, even meeting up so their kids could see each other
I actually cried when Dudley said I don't think your a waste of space
Wholesome AF scene
“I don’t think you’re a waste of space”
“Sweet dudders saying thank you”
“But he only said Harry wasn’t a waste of space”
Yeah but coming from Dudley that’s like I love you”

What I've always found weird is that Harry hated Draco more than he hated Dudley. He even thought in the book that "Draco Malfoy made Dudley Dursley look like a kind, sensitive boy." I don't get that, Dudley and Malfoy seemed to treat him similarly, for different reasons tho.
I think is because Dudley was a muggle and Harry could use that as leverage to threaten him. Draco was also a wizard so it wasn’t as easy
@@reddeath5791 plus Dudley was raised to treat Harry badly due to his magic but backed off whenever Harry pulled out the wand, Draco treated Harry badly purely because he refused Draco's offer of friendship, was petty as hell about it and constantly antagonized him. All because Harry refused his offer
@@jacksixterror spot on. Draco was also more cunning. He told rita skeeter stuff about harry so she could tell sell it in newspapers plus getting Buckbeack an execution sentence
@RedDeath5 Dracos family is also notorious and has connections in the Wizarding world. Which Harry barely knows exist. Draco also has a squad of goons even more physically intimidating.
Dudley wont kill anyone though, Malfoy would. He even tried to use Unforgivable Curse on Harry one time. And he seems SO HAPPY the huge snake came out and basically threaten the lives of the muggle borns wizards.
I reckon Dudley would be terrified of either situations and ran away. He is naughty, not cruel. If he is he would already tried to kill Harry years ago.
The Dursley's when they moved to a remote island: you cant defeat me
The letters: I know, but he can.

@@moony6576 and my crazy ass quil.
The thing is, you really can understand Petunia's pain. The rage built up of her parents acknowledging how gifted Lily was making her so jealous. She must have never felt like was good enough, at least until she met Vernon. It hurts even more knowing that Lily only wanted what was best for her sister.
I always felt bad for her it must suck knowing that your sister is special but you don’t have the same powers as her and it didn’t seem like her parents even tried to comfort her I would’ve been the same if that happened to me
It doesn’t justify being mean and insulting.
I love the scene where Dudley's wearing his new school uniform with such pride. I know he's a antagonist but that part always made me laugh.

Omg yesssss this is so underrated!!!!!!
@@anananwi MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDD
Petunia's story was unexpectededly touching. The older sister, envious of her younger sister's inate powers, forcing herself to live a life of absolute normality in order to set herself apart from her "freak" sister, burying her love, mourning and loss deep inside her and never being able to accept her nephew, as it would force her to admit that she truly missed her witch sister and once longed to be part of that world.
None of the Dursley's were evil. Dudley was ultimately the victim of being spoiled from the day he was born. Petunia couldn't accept Harry, as he reminded her of her dead younger sister and her guilt. And Vernon, while being a generally not very likable person, did truly love his family.
I think deep down Petunia truly loved Harry. Especially, after reading that letter from Dumbledore. Think about it. 10 years Harry was protected under his mother's love which lived on through Petunia. She may never admit but she MUST have loved him.
if petunia had magic, harry would have had a *much* better life.
Yeah 🤣
Yes because i heavily doubt that Vermon would marry Petúnia if she was witch
If I was Harry I’d just Slap everyone and run away
No she would probably be dead
@@trayivk I Completely Disagree With That Statement!
I Think That If Petunia Was A Witch Like Her Sister, Then She And Her Sister Lily Would Attend Hogwarts Together. By 1980 Petunia Would Off Fled To Canada For Her Safety. The Story Would Go Similar To How It Was In Canon With Lily Sacrificing Herself To Save Harry Resulting In Voldemort Apparent Death, After Voldemort's Disappearance The Ministry Of Magic Started Rounding Up The Remaining Death Eaters. Dumbledore Sends Petunia Harry And A Letter Telling Petunia Of Her Sister's Death And The Hands Of Lord Voldemort, And Asking Petunia To Take-Care Of Harry. Petunia (Who In This Timeline She Never Hated Her) Gladly Accepts, Over The Next 10 Years Petunia Raises Harry Telling Him All About The Magical World Much To Dumbledore Dismay. The Rest Of The Story Would Go From Here On Out The Story Stays The Same To The Books All the Way To The Battle Of Hogwarts.
Umbridge makes the Dursley's look like some of the nicest people ever.
Yes at end they really showed affection and love for Harry (even dudley)
@@sshekher37
Dudley shakes Harry’s hand and says his I Love You to his cousin which they are both like brothers.
Vernon is embarrassed about everything that happened for the last 17 years and is awkward around Harry now and knows that he is a bad influence because of the Dumbledore visit.
Petunia is undoubtably the most affected as she has lost her parents and sister to Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Petunia is PTSD about her sister dying and tells Harry the Harry didn’t just lose a mother, Petunia lost her sister.
Harry should have hugged his aunt and tells her that he understand why Petunia became the way who she is and how broken she is and that they are both similar in some very good ways.
@@joshuahecht6866 where you got that from??
@@soggybread5713 from novel i guess, (i didn't read the novel yet honestly) but there's a deleted scene that aunt petunia said "I lost a sister" and dudley shake Harry hand. You could find it on CZcams.
@@soggybread5713 read the books
Imagine how crushing it would be to witness all of the cool sh*! your sibling could do, find out that there's a school that teaches magic, wanting to go there so badly that you literarly write a message to the school's headmaster, only to be told that you're not special enough to go, but your sibling is.
That really had to hurt.
All because Petunia couldn't perform magic and her younger sister Lily could.
Everybody is different. Some have talents others don’t. Life isn’t Fair. Accepting that is part of being an adult.
I cried when She returned the blanket to Harry as a tribute for her little sister.
Another reason to hate the cursed child
I don't understand why Vernon doesn't want Harry to go back to school? I mean you don't have to see him for a year?
He didn't want him to be happy
Sure, but having a wizard in the house, being afraid of wizards surely won’t be what Vernon wants either.
He doesn't like Harry but doesn't want him to be happy. Besides he doesn't want Voldemort to kill him I'm not sure why.
Jennifer Moy right just send him away to hogworts and u wont have to see him
Yeah
Dumbledore: You did not do as I ask. You have never treated Harry as a son. He has known nothing but neglect and often cruelty at your hands.
Vernon: You didn't send child support.
Dumbledore:
😂😂 GOLD.
This man is the smartest man in da world
↖(^ω^)↗
Dumbledore: The hell is child support?!?!
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thats just an excuse. And Dumbledore isn't exactly responsible. He is only responsible for Harry when he is at school.
I feel like Dudley had such good character development. It’s so sweet of him to give Harry a cup of tea 🥹
I'm really glad that Mrs Weasley accepted Harry into a true loving family. Otherwise things may have been even worse than they already was
To be honest the last 5 to 10 minutes I started to cry because Petunia really cared about Lilly and still felt guilty in how she treated her son. It was quite emotional for me.
same!!!!!! I was just scrolling through the comments to see if anyone else did that so thank god im not the only one

She never apologised though?
Didnt we all 😂
@@RinSicairos Yes I agree she didn't apologize, but she was to proud to go apologize.

That line doesn't exists in the books.
@@anubratabit3027 there's a deleted scene-
@@weasleysimps2450 can u give me the scene?
Not really
I don't want to redeem the Dursleys in any way nor do I want them to be forgiven because after all they absused an innocent child but I can definitely understand their fear and annoyance with magic. Imagine you just want to live your life and then wizzards blow up your whole living room or in invite you to win a prize that doesn't even exist. Apart from that it was also a wizzard that killed Lily and tried to kill Harry. I would be scared and annoyed too at some point. I also cried at the end of the video when the story with the blanket got told... And also that Dudley and Harry stayed in contact. I actually think that at least Petunia and Dudley are hinted at to be pretty complex characters and I would have loved If that potential would have been used a little bit more.
This video was very meaningful because it shows why they were not only mean to Harry but what was truly inside them and how Petunia changed from hating her sister to loving her sister again.
Dudley was like James, started out bully then turned up mature
But seriously James is way better than Dudley-
@@shiyuhe3499 How
7Lawaneeena ok firstly: James matured quicker and more than Dudley. Second Dudley was physically hurting random kids severely, he’s a spoiled brat. James was nice to the people who he cared about atleast
@@shiyuhe3499 james also hurt random people. remember when harry had to sort stuff in the archives in 6th year after sectumsempra? there was one about james and sirius making a persons head go huge or something and i guess that hurts...
but james was better than dudley anyways
i think james had it easier in his early life tho
like i dont think vernon and petunia were the perfect parents for dudley...
If you remove James bullying Severus, James was supportive of his friends. He cared about Remus Lupin even after the truth of him being a werewolf came out. Dudley would have never done something like this.
Petunia is the only dursley i could forgive...it really does hurt being the unfavourite child
Yup
What about Dudley? He may have been bad, but he developed into a great character at the end.
ladynoir forlife yes but treating her sister like shit was what made her a very unpleasant woman.
I could forgive dudley for being spoiled by his parents so he didnt learn not to be mean
ladynoir forlife was she really treated that way ? Or did her jealousy and hurt make it seem that way 👀🤔as a parent it’s kind of hard to raise a child that bully the other for being different . Just because they can’t be 👀👀
Honestly you have to understand the Dursleys, theyre not being treated the best either, people randomly come to their house without their consent, theyre in danger because an unknown dark lord is after Harry, and shit like that. Anyone would be mad if it was happening against their will and magic people were treating them like that.
The Dursleys character development is just so heartwarming
All Potterheads can feel Petunia's pain that she was not a witch
mhm nope not a thing looks like you didnt get ya letter :?
She does deserve to be understood. Her life was in shadow of her sister and tragically her happiest time in her life may be before Lily went to Hogwarts. She may not be forgiven for her crimes against harry but she should be understood.

I don't feel sorry for her. Her being a muggle is no excuse for her being envious of her sister to the point she hurts Lily emotionally. Like yeah she also wanted to be part of hogwarts, but she didn't and it's still okay. The only thing I can feel sorry about is how they favoured lily over her, but that's it.
I would be jealous
@Teia Purkiss she said if no is
Very well structured and made, our opinions dont always align but your content is always very factual and well researched, awesome stuff, and you cover a lotta my favorite franchises
I'm literally crying. I haven't read the books in over ten years; started the first book yesterday. Your videos are fantastic! Thank you!
I feel so bad for petunia...honestly she married the wrong man
@B P k
@ B P I completely agree I think if we’d have had more of a redemption for petunia she might’ve been kinder
I feel bad for her in the sense where her issues with Lily came from. It was all jealousy and being bitter, as horrible as the qualities are it's understandable. Constantly being in the shadow of your sister who was your parent's favourite, your sister who was treated like golden child and getting invited to Hogwarts while you're just sidelined and have to watch all that happen. It doesn't excuse her treatment of Harry but it's understandable how Petunia became so bitter.
@B PI agree. The good thing about J. K Rowling's characters is that you can't point at one and clearly say good or bad. All of them have a deep personality.
Besides Dolores Umbridge.
She is bad.
Straight thought evil.
Yeah but j.k Rowling chooses that
Harry: **saves cousin’s life**
Dudley: **blames Harry**
•__Gacha Koneko__• _L O G I C_
*Claps* What a very nice logic wow
Actually, muggles or no magic humans can't see dementors but feel the effect of it all the same as the Witch and Wizard do
*repays with a cup of tea*
Harry: am I a joke to you
Honestly, I think this is by far the best The Life of videos you made. The end really almost did make me cry..
This was such an amazing explanation. Detailed but clear and with excellent editing!
I was dying when the book said Dudley was “the biggest and stupidest” of them all.
Same I like, died
The Weasley’s were more of a family to Harry than the Dursley’s ever were.
That is so true and it’s kinda sad because that’s his Aunt and Uncle
Yea...
And Sirius/ Lupin-
(I know they die)
no joke
Nymphia Sylvie true
Being a huge Harry Potter fan, I am surprised and so saddened I had not discovered your fantastic videos before! So well done and very precisely researched. Than you for all your projects!
Honestly, I think Dumbledore was high when he put the Dursley’s in charge of Harry.
Daddy's gone mad, hasn't he

Yer a wizard, Harry.
yes. yes he has
*Dudley was too fat for his uniform.*
You could try Sears.
Can I just say I love you
We only carry sizes 1, 3 and 5 💁🏼♀️
Try what now?
@@yusufahmed8980 it's a department store in the U.S. which is why they CANT try sears
@@amyschildgamerlive4519 ah I get the joke. But my joke was that sears is gone in the USA now.
BTW I did know what sears was, I just wanted to joke a bit
Great synopsis! Thank you, MovieFlame, for your hard work on this and your other HP videos.
I don't know that do these origin stories are really amazing or the way you explain them but you make really amazing videos, love your work and your editing. never stop yourself creating such videos
"I don't think you're a waste of space"

😩😪😭
Honestly he deserves better
@@JMB_Knight HE DOS NOT HES DUDLEY HE GOT MAD FOR HAVING 36
@@octonia6782 but Dudley left out some tea for Harry and said”I don’t think you’re a waste of space.”
@@JMB_Knight I didn’t make it to the part in the vid I did now tho
@@octonia6782 He was 11 and was spoiled by both of his parents. You can forgive Dudley since he was raised to think Harry's bad, so it wasn't really his fault. Petunia and Vernon, on the other hand, are full-grown adults, and they're responsible for their own actions.
Petunia should give some of her neck to Vernon
EDIT: Thank you for the likes!
Honestly
Bloody hell, brilliant idea!
Lol
mooseactuallymoo r u Ron?
bloody brilliant, but scary
I love the way these characters have multiple layers
Vernon: no letters can reach us out here

PETA: *demonic angry noises*
Thanks for uploading these videos! Thoroughly enjoyed them :)
This is one of the few videos that makes me tear up. Good job.
Imagine how they would react if Dudley was a wizard
I always thought it would have been really fitting
YER A WIZARD ARRY
HARRY DID YA PUT YA NAME IN DA GOBLET OF FIRE?
Right???
I would kill myself
I understand Petunia's feelings, but honestly making your sister's kid's life miserable is just a low blow. If I was her, I would have at least cared for Harry and tried to be a decent human being, it would be a nice redemption for her
it was mostly Vernon's influence... besides, they way they treat him made him who he was.
@@bogbog4678 Still sad bad lol.
@@delete---7593 yep.
The same could be said for Severus Snape, albeit in a different context behind his resentment for Harry.
@@bogbog4678 is say that Harry being a horkrux is the main issue
Can you do a video on what Harry life would have been like if the Dursleys were good to him? I always wondered how it would have turned out if Petunia loved Harry.
Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!
I understand why Pertunia was so angry with Lilly, we all understand how amazing the wizarding world seems and to have your sister get to witness It whilst you are left at home is really heartbreaking
but what we don't understand is why she would allow her nephew to be mistreated
@@khalifmuhammad6073 maybe her jealousy for her sister is so great she blame it on her own nephew.
@@Rhanz2021 that's still not an excuse for her torture yes torture of Harry they physically and mentally abused him
_Witch Hunt_
Lily tried so hard with petunia though
Dumbledore: "as long as harry can call the place where his mother's blood still lives on, the protection will last."
Harry: *"Hogwarts is my home"*
Edit: wait no this wasn't suppose to happen

This was not only the first video on the MovieFlame channel I watched but the first Harry Potter content I watched. If this video was not made, I would have never watched the films hundreds of times and read the books' dozens of times. I've enjoyed the world of Harry Potter and owe all knowledge and information to this channel, I have seen practically every character history video on this channel, and I say thank you, MovieFlame for introducing to the Wizarding World, for that reason this channel will always be my favorite on CZcams.
Bro! I’m crying! Thank you for bringing this to my attention!
Harry was five when he saw Dudley tell Petunia "Happy Mother's Day Mummy!" At the age of five, he went into the garden and picked a flower, which he gave to his aunt saying "Happy Mother's Day!" When Petunia thanked him and sent him away. She burst into tears. The flower Harry had given her was a Lilly.
Tom riddles how you know that 👁️👄👁️
i liked the show
That happen in book?
It’s, It’s really you
VoLdY MOuLdY alert
I never want to the hear the word “deliciously” be used to describe Uncle Vernon ever again.
Agreed
I must agree an unpresidented amount
yes.
IoI
To Petunia, he was.
I know the Dursley’s where really rude to Harry but that ending was reallly sad I literally cried
Yes sort of
