The boy is only dilusionnal, broken by mental illness and living in a fantastic world inside his head. If you read about the author, you'll realise that she's engaged into charity for children in mental institues. All the harry potter thing is just about a boy driven mad and everything happening in the story are parralels.

"of COURSE this is all happening in your head harry... why should that mean , its not real?" Dumbledore: Understanding Quantum Mechanics better than anyone.
0:47 It's hard to imagine, but Voldemort, after being killed for good, is forced to stay in that form without being able to move, talk and regain his powers, unless someone manages to reach that dimension and take him back (which is supposedly improbable for the next hundred of years). He's like in Hell, although a passive one.
Do you see that little corpse under the bench? That's his soul in a physical form, albeit weak and plagued by years of evil deeds and curses. In Harry Potter's universe, souls can't be destroyed, just like energy. As Voldemort died, the only place in which his soul could stay was inside that Limbo, thus having a fate worse than death.
@@Fullmetalminos it gets worse. The fact that Voldemorts soul was damaged by many different kinds of Dark magic makes his punishment worse. 1. Has basilisk venom, imagine that damage on your soul.

The magic fire, basically hell fire constant burning pain on his soul which I imagine is so unbearable. 3. The sword of godric gryffindor, amplified the power of Basilisk venom 4. Voldemorts Avada Kedvra, the pain is like getting hit by a truck. Even if voldemort did come back, I bet it would be done by someone more powerful. Probably some wizard would go into the limbo for research sake. And even then, I think Voldemort would want to die after what has to be an eternity of pain.

@@rockmasthat’s actually more on the director than the actor because the director is supposed to explain what emotion a character is going through. So, the director would have shot the scene multiple times and could have given a different direction. - words from a film student
When Dumbledore said ''Of course this happens in your head'' everyone sighed in the cinema, without knowing Dumbledore meant it ironicly. This was real and in the book he asked Harry if he wanted to get back and proceed the fight or go with him in the ''light world''..
That was never in the book. In the book Harry simply asked Dumbledore where he would go if he boarded the train. The answer was "On." This was real, and it wasn't. In the same way the world is real, until you go to sleep, and dreams are real, until you wake up. As Dumbledore said, it was "his Party." Meaning his reality, his dream, his fiction, his whatever-you-want-call-it. This means that whether it was real or not, it was Harry's experience, Dumbledore was simply a manifestion of questions Harry wanted answering, and things Harry needed to hear.
***** I agree with everything you said, but it does have me wondering: if this is all inside Harry's head, being his fiction, his dream, how does he have a choice between coming back or moving on? By Harry's perception of the question(Is this in my head?), and by Dumbledore's answer(Of course it is.), we are led to believe that this is, in fact, not real, up until the moment Dumbledore says: "Why should that mean that it's not real?". And while it may be real in Harry's mind, how does that give him a choice? To sum up, was Harry doomed to come back or did he really have the possibility to let his body die if he wanted to? And how could he have that possibility if it was all in his head (real, but not real, as you said)?
Filipe Baião You'll never know that, it could be or maybe it wasn't. When JK Rowling was asked about this she gave a vague answer and didn't really say yes or no, it could have been all Harry's imagination and Dumbeldore never really met with him. Or it could have been what all Wizards go through, remember that Sir Nicholas tells Harry all magical people get a choice, move on into the afterlife or remain as a ghost. This was Harry's time to choose, except that his body was not killed because of the Elder wand and Voldemort's soul piece. So Harry had a choice of afterlife or back to his body.
Filipe Baião He had the choice of coming back, or going "on". But the question wasn't asked by Harry's consciousness, not was it answered by the imaginary Dumbledore. The question was his body, asking his heart and mind, if it's time to stop, if that's enough, or if the impending doom can be repelled. This is very similar to when real life people are in freak accidents, and have brain trauma or are in bleed out. The body asks the heart, is that it? Have you had enough? Most people who have survived a near death experience will talk of the fight to stay wake, because they know if they sleep, its over. The Dumbledore/Harry conversation is just a metaphor for a dying persons conversation between mind and body.
I absolutely LOVE this scene. "Of course this is all in your head, Harry. But why can't it mean that it's not real?" I just bawled my eyes out. JK Rowling's theme of "You make your own destiny" is just so powerful and this scene makes it even more inspiring.
Did anyone else feel like crying when Dumbledore said "Of course it's happening inside your head Harry. But why on earth should that mean that it's not real?"
"You were the Horcrux he never meant to make" And then, suddenly: "I have to go back, haven't I?" This conversation was supposed to be the most important part of this entire series, and totally should've lasted another 5 minutes or so.
+Christian Maracle Yeah, my biggest gripe about Deathly Hallows part 2 was it's one film that's significantly too short. Felt like they went the cliff-notes version of Return of the King, "Hey, we can do that film in under half the time. Doesn't matter we skimp over the build up and resonation of every scene, we need as many screenings as possible."
happyeagle92 He may not be cold, but he is detached. He 's so focused on his plans and the greater good that he doesn't get how his decisions affect people. You start to see this in book 5
happyeagle92 Hes the complete opposite in the books, he always sounds nice and has a really good sense of humour. In the movies he's a bitter old man. You should read the books, so much better than the movies. Even if you don't like reading, I got my brother to read them even though he hates reading, just think of them as the movies but expanded a lot. You will get to know a lot more about the world and t will explain a lot of things the movie never explained.
One person asked me awhile ago whether or not Voldemort could come back as a ghost, it is something wizards who were afraid of Death and what waits for them on the Other Side could do after all. I don't think so, the damage he did to his soul, ripping it into 8 pieces and separating them into Horcruxes, there wasn't enough left of it to make a proper ghost
Every time I watch this scene, I can't help thinking "It's Dumbledore The White!" Tei Citan Agree totally, they cut so much explanation out of the movie, and ruined several other moments (e.g. Harry actually saying goodbye to Ron and Hermione, instead of that amazingly fear-filled journey to the forest without any goodbyes; and no real feel of celebration after Voldemort's death).
Why does Harry ask Dumbledore about Snape's patronus being a doe? He has already seen Snape's memories and therefore knows Snape loved Lily so I don't understand the point of him asking that.
AGuitaringRancor I think that was Harry bringing up Snape and his mother without blatantly talking about it. His question was not so much a question, just a way to talk to Dumbledore the way Dumbledore has always talked to him. Harry already knew the answer. To me, it shows how Dumbledore's peculiar wisdom rubbed off on Harry :)
3:18 - 4:11 - Wise words all tie down into a few seconds. Help is given to those who deserves it and there are far worse things than death. Therefore pity the living. Dumbledore stand true on this point words are capable of both inflicting pain and remedying it.
@@jasonc3028 No its just a relationship between Snape and Lily. Snape and Lily cease connection at age 15. But Snape still had his love for her. Thus the 2 share a doe like Patronus. As Harry to his father which is a stag.
"Of course it's happening inside your head Harry, why should that mean that it's not real" This series is heavy on the subjective vs objective reality department.
I'm a student there, and they've got a pretty strong English department. The class is offered in the Spring semester, and it is already full. (It fills up pretty quickly, as you can imagine!)
To everyone criticizing michael gambon's portrayal and referencing the GoF scene (can't reply thanks to the comments overhaul) that's the screenwriter/director that decides what he does isn't it? Not him
***** The first one only ever got to show us Dumbledore when Harry was very young. He portrayed the Dumbledore from the first 2 books. Now imagine if he had gone on to portray the darker Dumbledore as he taught Harry new things and the plot got more and more complex. How can you compare Gambon to Harris when Harris only got the first, somewhat mysterious yet barely featured Dumbledore? It isn't until the later books that Dumbledore is actually examined.
***** You are allowed your opinion but stop coveting it as though it were precious and be open to other people's ideas and assertions. You'll live a brighter life. I'm only pointing something out. In a real discussion, you wouldn't be getting so defensive. This is not a fight. I was putting forth a point. The first Dumbledore never got a chance to prove himself the way the second one was able to- with a deeply more complex character.
im not coveting my opinion and i'm not even getting defensive. but youre basically trying to tell me my opinion is wrong and i a really don't give a shit what you think. stop trying to be some prick critic and just let everyone think what they want.
Why doesn't Harry question the fact that dumbledore raised him for slaughter? I mean seriously, is he totally ok with that? They kind of sweep that under the rug.
537monster I suppose he understood it was all "a necessary sacrifice"/"for the greater good"? He accepted it, though he wasn't happy with it (understandably). At least, that's how it is in the books; the movies did seem to rush a lot of things...
537monster Harry understands that Dumbledore knew that he couldn't be killed by Voldemort, at least with he first shot or with the elder wand. Dumbledore had to lead him to believe he would die, in order for everything to go as planned.
537monster The books explain that ever since LV took his blood, Haryy essentially had a life-line. And Harry forgives dumbledore because he realizes he is not a perfect man, just like he does with all his father figures
In the books it completely explains that Dumbeldore knew exactly the pain and eventual “death” Harry would go through. However, he always knew it had to be done. Sacrifice a boy he knew, and loved, for all mankind wizard and muggle alike.
Harry would have died few days after his parents had dumbledore did not intervine,, It is harry's fate that he will die,at the hand of voldemort,hence the prophesy, "Neither lives while the other survives", Dumbledore has no choice but to do what he did,for all of them to survive,,
Everything is happening in your head that's always the case. Since the brain is in your head and everything you see, hear, feel, taste, smell is transmitted to the brain.
Harry: Finally accepts the fact that his death is necessary for the greater good and prepares himself mentally on his way to death Harry's parents: Happy that they will finally reunite with their son Dumbletroll: "Nope you are not dead yet, Harry, you see one drop of your blood is still in Voldemort. Now get yo ass back to the mortal world and suffer a little more. Problem, Potters?"
It’s not explicitly stated either, but part of the reason too Harry and Dumbledore are able to access the afterlife and make the choice to appear as they wish… is because they owned all 3 Deathly Hallows. Dumbledore chose death to be at peace and no longer suffer, and Harry had to return to the mortal realm to finish Voldemort for the greater good; he’s also 17 and still has a life to live after Voldemort’s death (neither can live while the other survives)
Reminds me of the scene in "The Matrix Revolutions" where Neo is trapped in the Subway Station that connects Zion and the Matrix. We see similar things here, a train station where only the chosen one can navigate between two worlds.
+Emily Louise Ann Morris I felt like that was a missed opportunity at humor; Harry wished he had some clothes and _voila_ a pile of neatly folded shirt, pants, socks and shoes appear before him; cut to Harry struggling to get his shirt on. Just like in the book right?
I may be in the minority, and Im not at all saying that Michael Gambon is a bad Dumbledore, but I feel like this would have been SUCH a better scene with Richard Harris. Because when I read the book, I swear to god I can hear his voice in my head like in the first two movies, and I start to tear up when Dumbledore begs for Harry's forgiveness.
Harry and Vold had a double connection: Vold couldn't die while harry lived (horcrux) and harry couldn't die while Vold didn't. The first one to die, would win.
people really missing alot that don't read the books. dumbldore talk about his regrets and cry about the death of his sister. harry was trying to confront him and felt his anger melt away.. the scene was much more emotionally powerful in the books. dumbledore laugh when harry said take a guess then..😂 he said he guess harry might survive.. but knew if he didn't. harry would not run from the chance of defeating voldemort once and for all. harry wanted to know why his wand beat voldy. the book dumbldore defintely seem to have more emotion then this scene portray..as just a cold wise sage..
I went with to watch this movie with my cousin, and she has read and memorized all the HP books, so in this part, she was like "He's supposed to be naked! They are not being loyal to the books! My father will hear about this!" I fell to the floor laughing. (She's not perve or anything, she just likes to stay loyal to the books, and I guess this bolted out of her mouth before she really thought about it.) Anyway LOL. It' still my best ice-breaker joke at family meetings. :D :P
It's funny that Albus Dumbledore spesks about pitying the loveless when he himself didn't exactly have a lot of love in his life and actively cause harm to the one's that love him like his his sister or his brother. And let's not forget his only "true love" became basically Wizard Hitler and he had to confront him and put him in jail. I guess he was a respected and cherished man by many, but that's not love. I kind of think that line, for Dumbledore, was more close to home that Harry thinked.
Harry: Professor! But you are all in white! Dumbledore: Yes, I am white now. Indeed I am Saruman, one might almost say, Saruman as he should have been. Harry: ...What? Dumbledore: Oh wait, wrong book sorry.
It just occurred to me how much of this conversation is missing in the movie in comparison with the book mainly why Lucius Malfoy's wand (wielded by Voldemort at the time) still couldn't effectively attack Harry Potter . The truth is everyone should read the book and use the movie to polish the experience.
I think Yates was rubbish directing this film. This scene and the Battle of Hogwarts were rushed. Dumbledore never mentioned why Harry was the Master of the Hallows, his past or even why Voldermort couldn't kill Harry with another wand. I think this film given it was the finale should have been at least 170 minutes long
I think it's made perfectly clear why Harry didn't die. I know people who didn't read the books either and knew perfectly what happened and why. Not everyone will get it the first time and sometimes you'll have to watch it again before you do get it. My point is, the scene as it was written in the book is just so hard to translate to film. They take the most essential things and rewrite that into something they can film and edit into the movie. Could they have done it better, probably, but imo it's a very good scene which explains the things that needed to be explained.
Well firstly, Dumbledore doesn't need to, because the alliegence of the Elder Wand is later explained by Harry when he is with Ron and Hermione on the ruined bridge. The reasons for not being able to use anothers wand, would have been too difficult and protracted to explain. If you remember the book, the Phoenix wand of Harry's detroys Lucius Malfoys wand when it's used by Voldemort... but as I remember, that wasn't in the film.
Yes, i do agree it wasn't similar enough to the book. When reading this scene, it was a really long conversation with Dumbledore, its a shame.However, many people aren't extreme harry potter fans like some of us, so would've found it confusing or boring. However, maybe they could've have an extended version?
Lydia Lilly Maybe they did film it but just cut it before the finale release? If you have the DVD, check the deleted scene section, and you may find something there
If Harry was technically a Horcrux, why did the killing curse kill him? Shouldn't it be basilisk venom (from which he even experienced in the Chamber of Secrets). Firstly, I thought it might be because he is human, but then again Nagini could only die with Basilisk venom (impregnated into the sword)... puzzling
+ric789 The horcruxes are only hard to kill because Voldemort himself put very strong protective spells on them. Nagini included. But Harry had no such protection. This is at least if I remember everything correctly because it was a long while since I read the books and non of the films goes into details about this stuff
Suppose life is a dream and your mind is the grand architect... Harry represents your greatest aspirations and Voldemort your darkest fears. Do not be afraid of death because it an essential part of the journey... life is a choice between love and fear in the face of adversity
ok imagine if JKR would have ended the series with Harry still living underneath the cupboard. it goes along of course it's all happening inside your head. that gets me so mad
Harald Werner And the state awaiting Voldemort once he's dead. He is everlasting indeed, unable to move on or yet to remain. A travesty of life yet burning until the end of time. That's why Harry tried to warn him in their last encounter, for if he had felt even a little remorse Voldemort could have died like any other man. There are worst things than death.
It's a piece of his soul the draw back of creating a horcrux is that you need to split your soul every time you do so you lose more and more of yourself at this point Voldemort had split his soul so many times it became "beyond saving" this piece was stuck in purgatory waiting for the rest of voldemort to pass on
Baby Bat You are right. JK revealed that it was indeed LV's actual soul. If you destroy a horcrux, the soul inside it is destroyed so wouldn't exist in anywhere. Also, in the next scene LV is also coming back to consciousness, showing that his soul had traveled as well
Brandon Layne cool its kinda sad though that's probably what hes going to become when he dies cause i think jk Rowling said something about him going to limbo or something not sure but he does deserve it though
'...You wonderful boy. You brave, brave man.'
Those words. That emphasis. That conviction. That affection. Wonderful stuff.

@@rockmasthat’s actually more on the director than the actor because the director is supposed to explain what emotion a character is going through. So, the director would have shot the scene multiple times and could have given a different direction. - words from a film student
Gambon wasn’t bad, but Harris fit the role more perfectly than any other actor could possibly hope to. It’s just unfortunate Harris died too soon
When Dumbledore said ''Of course this happens in your head'' everyone sighed in the cinema, without knowing Dumbledore meant it ironicly. This was real and in the book he asked Harry if he wanted to get back and proceed the fight or go with him in the ''light world''..
That was never in the book. In the book Harry simply asked Dumbledore where he would go if he boarded the train. The answer was "On."
This was real, and it wasn't. In the same way the world is real, until you go to sleep, and dreams are real, until you wake up. As Dumbledore said, it was "his Party." Meaning his reality, his dream, his fiction, his whatever-you-want-call-it. This means that whether it was real or not, it was Harry's experience, Dumbledore was simply a manifestion of questions Harry wanted answering, and things Harry needed to hear.
***** I agree with everything you said, but it does have me wondering: if this is all inside Harry's head, being his fiction, his dream, how does he have a choice between coming back or moving on? By Harry's perception of the question(Is this in my head?), and by Dumbledore's answer(Of course it is.), we are led to believe that this is, in fact, not real, up until the moment Dumbledore says: "Why should that mean that it's not real?". And while it may be real in Harry's mind, how does that give him a choice? To sum up, was Harry doomed to come back or did he really have the possibility to let his body die if he wanted to? And how could he have that possibility if it was all in his head (real, but not real, as you said)?
Filipe Baião You'll never know that, it could be or maybe it wasn't.
When JK Rowling was asked about this she gave a vague answer and didn't really say yes or no, it could have been all Harry's imagination and Dumbeldore never really met with him.
Or it could have been what all Wizards go through, remember that Sir Nicholas tells Harry all magical people get a choice, move on into the afterlife or remain as a ghost. This was Harry's time to choose, except that his body was not killed because of the Elder wand and Voldemort's soul piece. So Harry had a choice of afterlife or back to his body.
Filipe Baião He had the choice of coming back, or going "on". But the question wasn't asked by Harry's consciousness, not was it answered by the imaginary Dumbledore. The question was his body, asking his heart and mind, if it's time to stop, if that's enough, or if the impending doom can be repelled. This is very similar to when real life people are in freak accidents, and have brain trauma or are in bleed out. The body asks the heart, is that it? Have you had enough? Most people who have survived a near death experience will talk of the fight to stay wake, because they know if they sleep, its over. The Dumbledore/Harry conversation is just a metaphor for a dying persons conversation between mind and body.
@Digital111 he had the choice he had because he was, at this point, he was master of all 3 deathly hallows
"Of course it's inside your head Harry, but should that mean that it's not real."
One of the most iconic lines ever written.
"Words are, in my not so humble opinion, our most inexhaustable source of magic" is my favorite phrase here
I absolutely LOVE this scene. "Of course this is all in your head, Harry. But why can't it mean that it's not real?" I just bawled my eyes out. JK Rowling's theme of "You make your own destiny" is just so powerful and this scene makes it even more inspiring.
Did anyone else feel like crying when Dumbledore said "Of course it's happening inside your head Harry. But why on earth should that mean that it's not real?"
0:47 It warns us of the ultimate price when we obtain an extreme lust for power and immortality. (shivers)
Harry meeting Dumbledore in the afterlife was a heartwarming moment
Do not pity the dead, Harry.
Pity the living, and above all, all those who live without love.
"You were the Horcrux he never meant to make"
And then, suddenly:
"I have to go back, haven't I?"
This conversation was supposed to be the most important part of this entire series, and totally should've lasted another 5 minutes or so.
+Christian Maracle Yeah, my biggest gripe about Deathly Hallows part 2 was it's one film that's significantly too short. Felt like they went the cliff-notes version of Return of the King, "Hey, we can do that film in under half the time. Doesn't matter we skimp over the build up and resonation of every scene, we need as many screenings as possible."
@@wedgewoodproductions7383 Return of the King is too long.
Dumbledore looks like Gandalf the White hahaha hilarious!
Yeah, Dumbledore always looked like Gandalf.
Haha ik had totaal geen Nederlandse ondertiteling verwacht. Handig!!
Dumbledore always seemed so cold to me...the way he talks.
happyeagle92 He may not be cold, but he is detached. He 's so focused on his plans and the greater good that he doesn't get how his decisions affect people. You start to see this in book 5
happyeagle92 Hes the complete opposite in the books, he always sounds nice and has a really good sense of humour.
In the movies he's a bitter old man.
You should read the books, so much better than the movies. Even if you don't like reading, I got my brother to read them even though he hates reading, just think of them as the movies but expanded a lot. You will get to know a lot more about the world and t will explain a lot of things the movie never explained.
happyeagle92 I don't think he is cold. Michael Gambon did a wonderful job
happyeagle92 He is like that in the books ;)
One person asked me awhile ago whether or not Voldemort could come back as a ghost, it is something wizards who were afraid of Death and what waits for them on the Other Side could do after all. I don't think so, the damage he did to his soul, ripping it into 8 pieces and separating them into Horcruxes, there wasn't enough left of it to make a proper ghost
Every time I watch this scene, I can't help thinking "It's Dumbledore The White!"
Tei Citan Agree totally, they cut so much explanation out of the movie, and ruined several other moments (e.g. Harry actually saying goodbye to Ron and Hermione, instead of that amazingly fear-filled journey to the forest without any goodbyes; and no real feel of celebration after Voldemort's death).
You can't help, Vestige. You wonderful boy.
Why does Harry ask Dumbledore about Snape's patronus being a doe? He has already seen Snape's memories and therefore knows Snape loved Lily so I don't understand the point of him asking that.
AGuitaringRancor I think that was Harry bringing up Snape and his mother without blatantly talking about it. His question was not so much a question, just a way to talk to Dumbledore the way Dumbledore has always talked to him. Harry already knew the answer. To me, it shows how Dumbledore's peculiar wisdom rubbed off on Harry :)
Harry potter goblet of fire voldemort returns I was thinking that voldemort will return in harry potter deathly hallows
Zubeda Chowdhary If you read the books, you would've thought otherwise.
You don't have to read the books to think that.
aeris44 Exactly my point.
Dumbledore is Death is one of my favorite theories from the story
3:18 - 4:11 - Wise words all tie down into a few seconds. Help is given to those who deserves it and there are far worse things than death. Therefore pity the living. Dumbledore stand true on this point words are capable of both inflicting pain and remedying it.
What did he meanits curious? His dad is snape?
@@jasonc3028 No its just a relationship between Snape and Lily. Snape and Lily cease connection at age 15. But Snape still had his love for her. Thus the 2 share a doe like Patronus. As Harry to his father which is a stag.
I love Harry Potter sooooooooooo much!!!
Baby Voldemort looks so cute, awww!
that's not baby voldemort, thats part of his soul stuck in limbo
"Of course it's happening inside your head Harry, why should that mean that it's not real"
This series is heavy on the subjective vs objective reality department.
im so glad they chose michael gambon to play dumbledore after harris. he takes dumbledore to a whole new level. his acting is extraordinary
Couldn't agree more! Gamdon made Dumbledore one of my favorites!
I could write an essay on harry potter. I could easy discuss all the themes and representations of the characters.
easily*
Lydia Lilly Cal State Fullerton actually offers an English class about Harry Potter!
No way! Thats so crazy! I kind of want to take a class there just to see what it's like!
I'm a student there, and they've got a pretty strong English department. The class is offered in the Spring semester, and it is already full. (It fills up pretty quickly, as you can imagine!)
Tim J NO FAIR!!!!!! I WANNA GO TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
0:47 And thus, one of the Harry Potter memes was born.
To everyone criticizing michael gambon's portrayal and referencing the GoF scene (can't reply thanks to the comments overhaul) that's the screenwriter/director that decides what he does isn't it? Not him
i thought he was way better than the first one
***** The first one only ever got to show us Dumbledore when Harry was very young. He portrayed the Dumbledore from the first 2 books. Now imagine if he had gone on to portray the darker Dumbledore as he taught Harry new things and the plot got more and more complex. How can you compare Gambon to Harris when Harris only got the first, somewhat mysterious yet barely featured Dumbledore? It isn't until the later books that Dumbledore is actually examined.
i can compare them because they both played dumbledore and i liked gambon better. how about you just let me have my opinion
***** You are allowed your opinion but stop coveting it as though it were precious and be open to other people's ideas and assertions. You'll live a brighter life. I'm only pointing something out. In a real discussion, you wouldn't be getting so defensive. This is not a fight. I was putting forth a point. The first Dumbledore never got a chance to prove himself the way the second one was able to- with a deeply more complex character.
im not coveting my opinion and i'm not even getting defensive. but youre basically trying to tell me my opinion is wrong and i a really don't give a shit what you think. stop trying to be some prick critic and just let everyone think what they want.
Why doesn't Harry question the fact that dumbledore raised him for slaughter? I mean seriously, is he totally ok with that? They kind of sweep that under the rug.
537monster I suppose he understood it was all "a necessary sacrifice"/"for the greater good"? He accepted it, though he wasn't happy with it (understandably). At least, that's how it is in the books; the movies did seem to rush a lot of things...
537monster Harry understands that Dumbledore knew that he couldn't be killed by Voldemort, at least with he first shot or with the elder wand. Dumbledore had to lead him to believe he would die, in order for everything to go as planned.
537monster The books explain that ever since LV took his blood, Haryy essentially had a life-line. And Harry forgives dumbledore because he realizes he is not a perfect man, just like he does with all his father figures
In the books it completely explains that Dumbeldore knew exactly the pain and eventual “death” Harry would go through. However, he always knew it had to be done. Sacrifice a boy he knew, and loved, for all mankind wizard and muggle alike.
Harry would have died few days after his parents had dumbledore did not intervine,,
It is harry's fate that he will die,at the hand of voldemort,hence the prophesy,
"Neither lives while the other survives",
Dumbledore has no choice but to do what he did,for all of them to survive,,
lol 4:40 "Of course its happening inside your head Harry" The way he says that makes it sound like he's calling Harry crazy.
Everything is happening in your head that's always the case. Since the brain is in your head and everything you see, hear, feel, taste, smell is transmitted to the brain.
D0UW3ee
Thanks captain obvious
It's something most people don't realize. There are many cases where this insight has meaning.
That creature under the bench, i know what it is!
It's Voldemort.
After when he tried to kill Harry. And before Wormtail gave Jim his body back.
But in the Goblet of Fire he looked like that when Wormtail carries Voldemort.
@@fiebienietveld okay
Harry: Finally accepts the fact that his death is necessary for the greater good and prepares himself mentally on his way to death
Harry's parents: Happy that they will finally reunite with their son
Dumbletroll: "Nope you are not dead yet, Harry, you see one drop of your blood is still in Voldemort. Now get yo ass back to the mortal world and suffer a little more. Problem, Potters?"
It’s not explicitly stated either, but part of the reason too Harry and Dumbledore are able to access the afterlife and make the choice to appear as they wish… is because they owned all 3 Deathly Hallows. Dumbledore chose death to be at peace and no longer suffer, and Harry had to return to the mortal realm to finish Voldemort for the greater good; he’s also 17 and still has a life to live after Voldemort’s death (neither can live while the other survives)
Micheal Gambon is the perfect dumbledore!
Reminds me of the scene in "The Matrix Revolutions" where Neo is trapped in the Subway Station that connects Zion and the Matrix. We see similar things here, a train station where only the chosen one can navigate between two worlds.
Harry, you're suppose to be naked!
+Emily Louise Ann Morris Exactly what I thought!
***** ?
I'm not whinging, it's a joke. Harry was naked in the books.
Okay :)
+Emily Louise Ann Morris I felt like that was a missed opportunity at humor; Harry wished he had some clothes and _voila_ a pile of neatly folded shirt, pants, socks and shoes appear before him; cut to Harry struggling to get his shirt on. Just like in the book right?
I may be in the minority, and Im not at all saying that Michael Gambon is a bad Dumbledore, but I feel like this would have been SUCH a better scene with Richard Harris. Because when I read the book, I swear to god I can hear his voice in my head like in the first two movies, and I start to tear up when Dumbledore begs for Harry's forgiveness.
I think that Richard Harris had a bit of a friendlier disposition, but then again, what would he have been like after Columbus stopped directing?
He didn't seem very relatable you know? Like I couldn't imagine him having those human flaws the other guys has.
Harry and Vold had a double connection:
Vold couldn't die while harry lived (horcrux) and harry couldn't die while Vold didn't.
The first one to die, would win.
How the story evolved with the ages of it's readers/viewers is amazing.
Harry: Professor, what is that?
Voldemort: my precioussss
Dumbledore: .... something beyond either of our help
This scene does a great job of making you want more.
harry: professor what is that?
Dumbledore: i dont know
That's one of the only scenes where Daniel didn't wear Harry's glasses! xD
Rest in peace michael gambon a heartwarming dumbledore
"Hello Harry"
"..Its not my time"
"Maybe we can work an arrangement..."
*jingle*
Deathly Hallows...What Else ?
Dumbledore: This is, as they say, your party...
Marks the first journey of Harry Potter for Hogwarts, finding his true Home
I guess Harry just had to wait a few more minutes and he would wake in Hagrid's arms.
Aww!! A cute little meaty Voldie :3
What the hell
Lol! Don't judge I think he's adorable ^^'
He's a damn meaty baby! That what you see there is a horrible corrupt abandoned soul Tom used to have.
No,just no.
I know, but.. it's just so cute X3
HOWWWWW!
This scene hits differently after Gambon died in real life.
people really missing alot that don't read the books. dumbldore talk about his regrets and cry about the death of his sister. harry was trying to confront him and felt his anger melt away.. the scene was much more emotionally powerful in the books. dumbledore laugh when harry said take a guess then..😂 he said he guess harry might survive.. but knew if he didn't. harry would not run from the chance of defeating voldemort once and for all. harry wanted to know why his wand beat voldy. the book dumbldore defintely seem to have more emotion then this scene portray..as just a cold wise sage..
4:57
Harry shouts "Professor" then the words "my dope" appears lol
Até os atores de Lotr e HP eram muito parecidos, o roteiro na mesma proporção e Deus salve o Brasil...
I loved thi scene in the books. One of my favorites.
I went with to watch this movie with my cousin, and she has read and memorized all the HP books, so in this part, she was like "He's supposed to be naked! They are not being loyal to the books! My father will hear about this!" I fell to the floor laughing. (She's not perve or anything, she just likes to stay loyal to the books, and I guess this bolted out of her mouth before she really thought about it.) Anyway LOL. It' still my best ice-breaker joke at family meetings. :D :P
1:13 - The subtitles!! AMAZING :D
It's funny that Albus Dumbledore spesks about pitying the loveless when he himself didn't exactly have a lot of love in his life and actively cause harm to the one's that love him like his his sister or his brother. And let's not forget his only "true love" became basically Wizard Hitler and he had to confront him and put him in jail. I guess he was a respected and cherished man by many, but that's not love. I kind of think that line, for Dumbledore, was more close to home that Harry thinked.
Beautiful.
Dumbledore is the Odin of the wizardry world minus the thousands years of age difference lol.
Harry: Professor! But you are all in white!
Dumbledore: Yes, I am white now. Indeed I am Saruman, one might almost say, Saruman as he should have been.
Harry: ...What?
Dumbledore: Oh wait, wrong book sorry.
If Harry had chose to move on to the afterlife instead of going back, Neville would have been the one to destroy Voldemort
Mike Gambon acts soooo much better here. I wish he did that in the four other movies in which he participated.
According to TV Tropes this would be an example of an "Afterlife Antechamber."
It just occurred to me how much of this conversation is missing in the movie in comparison with the book mainly why Lucius Malfoy's wand (wielded by Voldemort at the time) still couldn't effectively attack Harry Potter . The truth is everyone should read the book and use the movie to polish the experience.
It's not a piece, it's what it remains of it.
Voldimort looking like an unseasoned buffalo wing from Wingstop
I think Yates was rubbish directing this film. This scene and the Battle of Hogwarts were rushed. Dumbledore never mentioned why Harry was the Master of the Hallows, his past or even why Voldermort couldn't kill Harry with another wand. I think this film given it was the finale should have been at least 170 minutes long
This scene would have dragged on if they had filmed everything that was said in the book. They need to keep a good pace in the movie.
I liked it...
I think it's made perfectly clear why Harry didn't die. I know people who didn't read the books either and knew perfectly what happened and why. Not everyone will get it the first time and sometimes you'll have to watch it again before you do get it.
My point is, the scene as it was written in the book is just so hard to translate to film. They take the most essential things and rewrite that into something they can film and edit into the movie. Could they have done it better, probably, but imo it's a very good scene which explains the things that needed to be explained.
Well firstly, Dumbledore doesn't need to, because the alliegence of the Elder Wand is later explained by Harry when he is with Ron and Hermione on the ruined bridge. The reasons for not being able to use anothers wand, would have been too difficult and protracted to explain. If you remember the book, the Phoenix wand of Harry's detroys Lucius Malfoys wand when it's used by Voldemort... but as I remember, that wasn't in the film.
Super deze film kon je het maar ook gratis online op internet kijken weet iemand miss of dat wel kan ?? P.s BIG FAN OF HARRY POTTER ❤️⭐️
Sixth dimensional being😊
Yes, i do agree it wasn't similar enough to the book. When reading this scene, it was a really long conversation with Dumbledore, its a shame.However, many people aren't extreme harry potter fans like some of us, so would've found it confusing or boring. However, maybe they could've have an extended version?
Lydia Lilly Maybe they did film it but just cut it before the finale release? If you have the DVD, check the deleted scene section, and you may find something there
Ingraham Yeah thats a possibility, i will look :)
Their eyes meet and they start naking out "o yeahhhh, ive wanted to do this since i was a different actor"
What’s the back ground music/sound?!
Anyone else think those last lines meant that Harry was just insane and all of the books were just happening in his head?
I didn’t see this in theaters even though I should have but I’m guessing when you hear Dumbldore’s voice the crowd went crazy.
Dumbledore, your brother said hello
i have dumbledores line tattooed on me, waiting to get the archways done around it :'3
Is it just me or does anyone else think that Dumbledore looks like gandalf the white in this scene
Harry had a choice, and he did not. It wasn't in his nature to abandon his friends.
If Harry was technically a Horcrux, why did the killing curse kill him? Shouldn't it be basilisk venom (from which he even experienced in the Chamber of Secrets). Firstly, I thought it might be because he is human, but then again Nagini could only die with Basilisk venom (impregnated into the sword)... puzzling
+ric789 The horcruxes are only hard to kill because Voldemort himself put very strong protective spells on them. Nagini included. But Harry had no such protection. This is at least if I remember everything correctly because it was a long while since I read the books and non of the films goes into details about this stuff
Suppose life is a dream and your mind is the grand architect... Harry represents your greatest aspirations and Voldemort your darkest fears. Do not be afraid of death because it an essential part of the journey... life is a choice between love and fear in the face of adversity
ok imagine if JKR would have ended the series with Harry still living underneath the cupboard. it goes along of course it's all happening inside your head.
that gets me so mad
I have watched this scene many times and just realized Harry has no glasses here.
Aw thts disgusting the thing under the bench I pooped my pants I was so freaked
any one else think that thing was voldermorts soul
Harald Werner oh so that's the part of Voldemort that latched onto to harry?
Harald Werner And the state awaiting Voldemort once he's dead. He is everlasting indeed, unable to move on or yet to remain. A travesty of life yet burning until the end of time. That's why Harry tried to warn him in their last encounter, for if he had felt even a little remorse Voldemort could have died like any other man. There are worst things than death.
It's a piece of his soul the draw back of creating a horcrux is that you need to split your soul every time you do so you lose more and more of yourself at this point Voldemort had split his soul so many times it became "beyond saving" this piece was stuck in purgatory waiting for the rest of voldemort to pass on
Baby Bat You are right. JK revealed that it was indeed LV's actual soul. If you destroy a horcrux, the soul inside it is destroyed so wouldn't exist in anywhere. Also, in the next scene LV is also coming back to consciousness, showing that his soul had traveled as well
Brandon Layne cool its kinda sad though that's probably what hes going to become when he dies cause i think jk Rowling said something about him going to limbo or something not sure but he does deserve it though
That place was the gateway to the afterlife.
RIP, Sir Michael Gambon
if i was harry i wouldve been like chill. am staying here.
They criticize Michael Gambon's Dumbledore, but he was awesome in this scene.
