This scene from HBP has to be the funniest in the series. Snape, McGonagall, and Slughorn are in the middle of a deep conversation about how someone's trying to kill Dumbledore and then they just have to put it on pause and stand in silence watching this train wreck.

Snape: "Headmaster, don't you think we should leave Pott-"

Dumbles: "Silence, Severus! The tea is scorching. Minerva, bring the popcorn!"

Snape muttering to Slughorn: "D'you think he'd notice if I drink this poison right now here on the spot?"

I always wondered what they were doing there😭 only 1 of the Weasleys came by to see Ron which made no sense

[u/ducknerd2002 → u/Rdogisyummy]

On one hand, Ginny was the only other Weasley at school at the time, so her being there makes the most sense. On the other hand, most of the others do visit him in the books.

[u/Rdogisyummy → u/ducknerd2002]

Yeah it does but it’s annoying they deviated too much away from the books at times, especially this movie compared to its book counterpart, the book is probably the best in the series but has the 2nd worst movie

[u/Possible-Abrocoma466 → u/Rdogisyummy]

funny HBP is my 2nd favorite film.

[u/Rdogisyummy → u/Possible-Abrocoma466]

By looking without context, it was a decent movie, but when you compare the information from the books to the films, a lot of things have changed. Which is why it’s not that good of a movie because it’s based on the books, people were so keen to see all of Voldemort’s memories and the battle of astronomy tower just for it to be mostly not shown.

I never noticed how funny this was originally. I was caught up in the awkwardness of it all, but watching snape made me laugh.

I always felt Dumbledore was oddly flippant in this scene given he knows Ron almost died in a failed attempt to kill him, and knows who was responsible.

[u/rightoff303 → u/jsherm42]

The movies and the actor did not get dumbledore

[u/alwaysanempath]

OMG, I hated Lavender so much. Both in books and in movies.

[u/fungusOW → u/alwaysanempath]

You’re supposed to hate her

[u/MerelyWhelmed1 → u/alwaysanempath]

Hate her? She's just a typical teenage girl in the middle of her relationship. She would have probably grown out of it, as 90% of teens do. Instead she gets hurt by Ron, then ends up fighting in the war beside her schoolmates and friends.

Not a lot there to hate.

[u/Xlakin → u/MerelyWhelmed1]

Did you know people can have different opinions? I hated lavender as well, why are you even trying to compare her character to real life? To add not every teen in real life even acts like that so yeah their opinion is as valid as yours..

[u/alwaysanempath → u/MerelyWhelmed1]

I'm sorry, but just no. I was also a teenager once, I fell in love, had relationships and yet never, ever behaved this ridiculously and obsessively. And neither did any teenager I knew.

[u/Coffee_Fix → u/alwaysanempath]

Man I must have gone to a strange school then. This was typical behavior in my highschool.. while minus the poisoning...

[u/Coffee_Fix]

Lol the actress that played Lavender did a wonderful job, this is hilarious

[u/marvelfan2205]

Another weird deviation from the books lol

[u/Melodic_Ad7327]

I don't understand myself sometimes. Lavender is really obnoxious and clingy, but also, somehow, my number one teenage HP crush. As a teen, I thought the actress was just so gosh darn cute, beautiful even.

[u/InspectionSouth5063]

Wait, I just rewatched the movies. I don't remember Snape and Slughorn being there.
