Professor Snape is More Tragic Than We Ever Realized

This video was originally posted more than a year ago, but it’s only now making waves on the Internet. I watched it the other day and it brought tears to my eyes, so I definitely wanted to share it with the rest of you. Surely a bunch of you are Harry Potter fans, right? This video is all of the important Professor Snape scenes in chronological order, set to some moody music, detailing the life and tragedy that was Severus Snape.

All credit goes to Youtuber kcawesome13, who has quickly become an Internet sensation for this video. It’s just so haunting and brilliant.

Also, major shout out to my dad, who loved the Harry Potter books just as much as the rest of us and turned me on to the secret that Snape was actually a good guy long before he ‘killed’ Dumbledore. That guy’s theories really made me think.

Cinema Sins Doesn’t Understand the Vanishing Cabinet

Cinema Sins has gotten around to doing Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince. It’s pretty good, but they really don’t seem to understand the storyline with Draco and the Vanishing Cabinet.

Granted, maybe they’re only paying attention to the movie version of the story, but I’m pretty sure they mention somewhere that Draco spent the year repairing the Vanishing Cabinet, and that’s why he was testing it with an apple and a bird. Beyond that, the team does find some nifty plot holes to poke fun at. I never bought into Ron and Hermione’s relationship either!

If Only Harry Potter Had Been Like This From the Beginning

Remember that utterly genius cross between Star Wars and Guardians of the Galaxy? Of course you do. Well how about Harry Potter done in the style of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World!

We owe this bit of greatness to The Unusual Suspect, who made both videos. Whoever this person is, somebody give him some kind of expensive government grant so that he can keep being a creative genius!

Hufflepuff and Proud!

Not every first year at Hogwart’s School for Witchcraft and Wizardry gets to be a heroic Gryffindor or a dastardly Slytherin. Some students are patient and loyal, and know the value of hard work. These proud students get sorted into Hufflepuff House. And as the lovely ladies of Not Literally will tell you, there’s nothing wrong with showing off a little Badger Pride!

The song is ‘Sorted This Way’, a parody of Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’.

I Feel Bad for Alfred Enoch

I finally watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows parts 1 and 2 over the weekend. They were great. As good as all the rest of the Harry Potter movies. There were some scenes that didn’t live up to the awesomeness of the book – like Molly Weasley’s big moment, and Neville killing the snake – and I wish they’d given Snape a better death. But overall, they were great movies and a fine finale to the Harry Potter saga.

I just feel really bad for Alfred Enoch, the actor who played Dean Thomas.

Gryffindor represent!
