When you sit down and watch all 8 Harry Potter films in rapid succession a number of things may stand out. Don’t worry you are not alone (well maybe you are, you DID just watch 1180 minutes of Harry Potter). But even the most astute viewer might have missed some of the more choice observations. Here is a list of clever things to say the next time you are having a Harry Potter marathon. Saying these things will make you appear clever, and witty, and funny, and ingenious.
All the movies:
Magically gifted children age at an extremely inconsistent rate. (They aged 6 magic years in 10 human years).
All the students immediately outgrew their wizarding robes after the second year, the robes will rarely be seen again.
Harry Potter is the only one who gets into trouble for using magic outside of Hogwarts.
16-year-old Voldemort looks nothing like 17-year-old Voldemort (or 11-year-old Voldemort for that matter). If George Lucas had been involved this would have been fixed by the third release of the DVDs.
Most of Griffindor (a house based on bravery) is comprised of students too afraid of their own shadows to be of much use half of the time.
The “good enough” mentality is just as strong in the magical community.
