It always bothered me that they left out the whole part about going into the village.

[–]earthduck 1 point2 points ago

Time saving perhaps.

[–]penguin_thievery 12 points13 points ago

You still can't apparate on Hogwarts grounds.

[–]scarter25Auror 13 points14 points ago

Not if you're Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore

[–]Salamandastron 0 points1 point ago

Dumbledore can temporarily take down the enchantments that prevent apparation.

[–]modern_zenith 17 points18 points ago

Wait, was this in the movie, because I never saw the movie. In the book, he doesn't apparate into the castle.

[–]obrysii 41 points42 points ago

One of the coolest lines happens as they're flying towards the castle, and he's mumbling to himself, and it says he was undoing his spells. Just a cool thing.

[–]agressivehobo 52 points53 points ago

"As they flew over the dark, twisting lane down which they had walked earlier, Harry heard, over the whistling of the night air in his ears, Dumbledore muttering in some strange language again. He thought he understood why as he felt his broom shudder when they flew over the boundary wall into the grounds: Dumbledore was undoing the enchantments he himself had set around the castle so they could enter at speed."

Chills.

[–]obrysii 8 points9 points ago

That's the one!

[–]SniperXPX 2 points3 points ago

Funny how certain parts of the books you just never forget.

[–]arcade_13 1 point2 points ago

Magnificent.

[–]modern_zenith 1 point2 points ago

I remember that! Harry noticed that his broom was vibrating or something as they got near the castle.

[–]dearcatherine 1 point2 points ago

Whoa, you never saw the films?

[–]modern_zenith 11 points12 points ago

Didn't see the movies after Ordeer of the Phoenix. They make me cringe. They butchered the books.

[–]dearcatherine 0 points1 point ago

Did you see DH Part 2 at least? It's done very well

[–]demonstar55 1 point2 points ago

That would be correct, they got lazy in the movie and just apperated from the castle.

[–]enkidude 19 points20 points ago

has really no one said that that's Gandalf?

[–]DaytonaZ33 10 points11 points ago

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

[–]LORDJEW_VAN_CUNTFUCKHEY GUYS LOOK AT ME I'M A LION RARARARARARARARARRR 6 points7 points ago

It looks like him but I'm pretty sure that's a screenshot from the Half-Blood Prince.

[–]Lilou88[S] 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, it's definitely Dumbledore. It's the scene right before they apparate to the rock outside the cave that has the fake horcrux.

[–]GarrMateys 3 points4 points ago

Seriously, right? Isn't the point of this image that Gandalf is a more powerful wizard than Dumbledore? Is there something else here that we're missing? I expected the comments to be all D vs G, but...crickets

[–]Great_Zarquon 1 point2 points ago

I would guess that the reason why nobody has said that that's Gandalf because it's Dumbledore.

[–]Anthony_HopkinsNitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! 12 points13 points ago

I don't get why people get so angry over this. It saved time with the plot, it eliminated the need to use more locations and sets, and, hey, considering Dumbledore's the most powerful wizard in the world, I can totally buy that he can do this. I mean, they are his enchantments, after all.

[–]Xethos 6 points7 points ago

Well for me "fixing" that part would fix another plot whole that this stemmed from. Harry was so sure that Malfoy was the one behind the necklace but wasnt sure how he did it. It wasnt untill they get to the tower on brooms that they figured out that Malfoy had cursed Rosemerta long ago and was using her. So in the film when Harry accuses Malfoy theres a chance he could be personally resonsible and no one seems to look into it, in the books Snape tells him right away that Malfoy was in detetion and couldnt have been present.

[–]RampagingDragon -2 points-1 points ago

Hole not whole.

[–]Xethos 3 points4 points ago

You got me. That's what I get for changing my first thought.

[–]RampagingDragon -2 points-1 points ago

Carry on.

[–]RangerAhabWandlore Disciple 2 points3 points ago

Nevermind that he is the most powerful wizard in this time. He is the Headmaster so why wouldn't he not only know his own spells he has posted but all the other spells that have ever been posted on Hogwarts ever.

[–]Rocker2791 2 points3 points ago

Elder-wanded.

[–]dearcatherine 2 points3 points ago

I felt like this applied to a lot of Dumbledores actions. Clearly a BAMF

[–]naratu19 2 points3 points ago

Dumbledore = Honey Badger

[–]Defly 2 points3 points ago

THATS NOT DUMBLEDORE!

[–]MutherFurCow 0 points1 point ago

IMPOSTER!

[–]zyguy 0 points1 point ago

I literally (and I mean literally in the literal sense) just watched that scene and paused it not two minutes before looking at this!

[–]thisisrage182Fawkes 0 points1 point ago

I think I laughed for 10 minutes solid at this :') class, sheer class.

[–]ryehighsam -2 points-1 points ago

I always hated that he did :(
