“Did anyone else just want to punch him in the face?”
Me: Yes.”
Me: Karate kick to the head.
Nah! I’d rather give him a kick where the sun don’t shine. 😁
@@stephenmurphy2212 and @tummynuckle I think if you did that when he was still minister of magic you would go to Azkaban
Is it wrong because he’s an old man?
If there is a spell that enlarges my hand, I would
Let’s not forget how Dumbledore was threatened to have his card removed from the Chocolate Frogs
Perish the thought haha.
Oh no, not the chocolate frogs! 😱Haha
Noooo
He really knows how to hurt someone haha.
Wizarding cancel culture
Fear. It was that simple. Voldemort being back would mean trouble for the wizarding world that they hadn't seen for fourteen years and it was easily and infinitely preferable to believe everything was rosy while people got murdered right under his nose. Then there's the fact that Voldemort couldn't really broadcast his return because his little comeback party in the graveyard went wrong on him. He had to be quiet now that Dumbledore knew he was back in the building.
Nicely put
true. that's the reason
Wow...that’s almost literaly word for word what Sirius said in the order of the phoenix
And in Fudge's defense, he was right when it came to the Dementors.
Voldemort *didn't* send them.
Agreed, parallels with Neville Chamberlain?
Fudge’s mind was twisted and warped with the radical ideas of desperation for things starting to change...
Fudge knew that I've returned it was just to inconvenient to admit because he would have to deal with me.
We know voldy we know
He was just scared
@@garr.y_lune.667 I'm assuming ur dead for calling him Voldy
@@MrYoda-su4qo I don't think so
He is not gonna cross countries
I live in India I am safe 😜
@@garr.y_lune.667 Well it is Voldemort we are talking about.
Hey, Voldemort is a good guy for only attacking Harry at the end of his school years
Fudge deep down knew Voldemort was back, because when did Fudge saw Dumbledore being wrong, but he didn't want to deal with that because he knew he would be unable to do it on his own. Although that was exactly what he wanted to do, go on his own and not to depend on Dumbledore. In summary, acting like a teenager.
He arguably could have (with much loss of life mind you) Mobilize the Aurors! contact the muggle Minister! Start up public awareness campaigns!!! (And that is what he could have done IF he wanted to)
That image with Fudge superimposed over a bunch of donkeys really is, IMO, spot on. 😂 🤣 😂 🤣
Kinda feel bad for the actor, though.
Yes it's amazing
nah, it's one an insult to donkeys and second not so fair for the actor...
As they said after the World War One, relating to the politicians who sent the brave soldiers and generals into the hellscape of trench warfare, “lions lead by donkeys.”
I disagree: It's an insult to the donkeys.
It's crazy how politicians can be so paranoid, disbelieving, and ignorant of the problems happening in the world around them
The person who seeks leadership and power is usually the one most unfit for the position.
Exactly what I was thinking
Fudge can easily be compare to most modern day politicians and leaders
Extraordinarily week and more interested in keeping up their image and pleasing people rather than actually stepping in and leading and protecting the people they are supposed to be serving
@@scottsetzke7967 so true
What abt how OUR government has been dealing with Covid-19? Isn’t it just the same?
What's worse than him not "believing" that he's back is the fact that he did believe Voldemort wasn't gone forever at one point
I think it's worse that he try to deny it and cause so many deaths and suffering
Umbrage is worse
@@maybe_edits46 yeah
What is even worse in my opinion is that Fudge wanted to use Harry to tell him that the Ministry does a fantastic job less then a month after he saw Voldemort in the flesh!
@@rikbakker2117 hmm that's the most stupidest move ever dude
Harry blows up his aunt: everything is fine
Harry saves his cousin's life: expelled
Fudge is like a mother talks over you and believe that they’re allways right
I’ve never understood that method of parenting. I think kids need a chance to learn to state their case, and respectfully protest if there’s hypocrisy or injustice, but those kind of mothers don’t give them that chance. My mother used to let me argue if I thought something was wrong, and I think I’m a better person for it. You’re right though: Fudge is just as ignorant.
@@billysinge8977 I wish my mom was like yours
I feel like dad's do that more but yer
2 words: narcissistic parents.
I encouraged my son to question our decisions and I'd tell him my reasons for my decision. Honestly though I only remember saying no and no negotiation to him once. I didn't want him to drive 25 miles, in a snow storm, to see his girlfriend. He was 17 at the time and it was like the world was going to end for him. He survived, they both went to college, got their degrees, bought a home, got a cat and got married. He told me I was a great mom. What more could a person ask for?
Would Harry have been able to show them his memory of voldimort returning like they've done with snapes memories of Lilly
yes but perhaps memories can perhaps not fully be evidence as maybe seen in the eyes of those who memories it is in stead of it being like a videotaped event they can be subjective
memories can be altered
I've always thought and said that
@@cassiousjohnson9969 Also, didn’t Snape made a point that memories are not always easily extracted? That they were not like an open book?
out of muggle psychology: not even our witness accounts are accurate, we tend to miss details, remember stuff wrong etc...
Memory is a constructed thing and is deceptive to change and adaptation.
So, a memory taken like in HP would probably be more reliable than the recall of a muggle, but still, there are different ways of how, psychological processes might alter it from reality...
Short answer: He was too cowardly to admit having to fight against Voldy.
Long answer:
Theory: What happened to Borgin and Burkes after the Second Wizarding War as well as Mr. Borgin?
Interesting...
I would think that as an auror, Harry would have someone trustworthy watching the shop, and probably any other shop on Knockturn Alley. Because not much good happens there. We all saw the Malfoys getting rid of dark magic artifacts there. That's where Draco got the cursed necklace. I would like to think either the entire Alley was under surveillance, or Borgin and Burke's was just turned into a regular pawnshop without the dark magic artifacts.
@@annwilmot6858 Agreed. Either they went under if they refused to keep selling Dark artifacts or were forced into a slow and steady but legal business.
You forgot to mention also that in Goblet of Fire, he was employing Dementors as bodyguards - they must have warped his perceptions of things, even if they were not actually feeding off him.
"He is NOT. BACK."
"...He's back..."
“The late Robert Hardy” He died?! Dammit, I loved that guy.
He would've made a great Sith Lord in a *Star Wars* movie or TV series.
Ok for some reason while my insomnia kept me up i thought what if this character survived? What if cedric survived, what if Dumbledore survived, what if dobby survived? Just all of these people so i would really like to see some videos on this! Thank you!
alright like this comment people we know we want these videos. "Nice one James" that was because of your username 😅😅
id love to see these alternate timelines!
@@atharvadeshpande4749 ok took me a day to figure out the pun also uh if you see a blonde girl about 5'3 holding a knife in the dead of night yeah thats bestie.. thats padfoot.. you used his last words.. and i oop-
@PRONGS I can answer some of them . If Cedric survives he would most likely Help Harry with the DA.If Dumbledore survived then The trio would’ve gone back to Hogwarts and Hogwarts wouldn’t be under Voldemort’s control. If Dobby survived then the trio could’ve have used him to find some more horcruxes
this video could’ve been over with this one sentence
“ *He didn’t want to believe it* “
He wanted 2 hold onto his power, nd he was scared that with Voldemort back he was going 2 lose it. I actually just finished reading The Goblet Of Fire, again.
Exactly
Yep
He was barely competent when things were going well. He knew just how weak he actually is. So Voldemort being back is a total disaster threat he can't deal with. Then he had to stick to that line
Yes he was barely competent. Ministry demonstrated that they cannot act in peace and war.
@@klaudiagrob The Ministry of Magic was obviously founded on dishonest principles of where they actually believed in the notion of pureblood supremacy where all of wizardkind should rule over muggles regardless 3/4 of British wizardkind were hypocrites in their law enforcement system, but didn't have the balls to do, except for Voldemort.
Have they ever had a decent minister?
@@vermiciosknid9629 The only Minister for Magic I know before Fumbling Fudge that was decent enough was a wizard named Grogan Stump.
He was Minister during the early 19th Century who brought about positive changes to the wizarding world by establishing new divisions in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures and established the Department of Magical Games and Sports.
@@vermiciosknid9629 Eldritch Diggory. He visited Azkaban as a minister and he was so horrified by the conditions prisoners were living in that he set up a campaign to get rid of the Dementors and find an alternative. But he got ill while in office and died before his project could came into play. The Dementors poisoning his food, maybe?
2:00
the moment you realized how much of a jackarse Fudge really is lmao
Why did Fudge Refuse to Believe Harry Potter?
Simple: He’s Fudge.
Basically Chamberlain and Harney combined.
I absolutely love the beginning of the Half Blood Prince. It tells about fudge’s character. My favorite book
I definitely like that beginning. I should think the Prime Minister would want to talk to Dumbledore and Harry Potter.
I agree. The muggle Prime Minister probably obtained 0 information from fudge since he only talked about his ego.
the “bloody idiot” at the end of the video got me 😂😭
I cracked so bad at ‘the bloody idiot’ 😂
I love your videos. You are one of my inspirations to make harry potter videos. A huge potterhead fan here😉
You can clearly hear the fear in his voice when he says Voldemort is not back
And I think that actually implies that he KNOWS that Voldemort is back, because he is a secret supporter of Voldemort and his Death Eaters and was blackmailed into keeping his "true" allegiance a secret from not only Dumbledore, but the British wizarding public at large, because if somebody every found out that Fudge knew the whole truth from scratch and being a slave (or stooge) to Voldemort along with him being alive, the person in question would try to expose Fumbling Fudge's treachery and would possibly end up being killed by a Death Eater to silence them on Voldemort's orders.
I wonder what would have happened if Fudge believed and they acted on the reports of Voldemort being back.
He'd have to go into hiding.
Well, people would like him.
Most likely Fudge would have been killed
Well the order of the pheonix would still exist but could operate more smoothly, hogwarts would have a proper defense against the dark arts teacher for that year, most of the races that joined voldemort would not have joined him, they could have cut Voldemort’s forces down significantly. They would not have stopped the second wizarding war but would have been far better prepared for it.
Early! Haven't watched ur videos in quite a hot minute haha
I can’t remember the exact quote.
But at the End of Goblet of Fire Book Dumbledore said something along the lines of
“If you act now Cornelius then job at the ministry or not the Wizarding world will see you as one of the bravest wizards of our age. Ignore them and you’ll be leaving behind a reputation of a coward and a fool.”
As always Another awesome video thanks dean 😊
I've always wanted to know this. Thanks for the video Dean!
Dealing with Voldemort was far more than he was capable of doing and he knew it. He lacked the strength, decisiveness, and intelligence to do so.
Albus Dumbledore could have easily taken the Voldemort memory from Harry, (which also would have rid him of said terrible memory) Shoved Fudge into the Pensive and said "See he's back"and wacked him in the back of the head.
@dr103 If you're thinking of Slughorn, he did that cuz that was the way he wanted to remember it, suppressed the original memory because he was ashamed. Harry wouldn't suppress that memory.
🤣
@@DryBones271 Do you really think fudge would consider that?
“Whacked him in the back of the head” 😂🤣😂🤣
So emotional 😭
he was most likely in fear of Voldemort himself (i know most, if not all people where), if he had revealed Voldemort to the public, he would have been targeted by Voldemort due to blowing his cover and ruining some of his plans. thats just how i feel lol-
yeah. and i feel like he had a bit of a “if i ignore it, it’s not there.” mentality when it came to Voldemort’s return.
He was more afraid of Dumbledore taking his seat as minister.
@@tuopsy do you want to say he had the developpement of an under 3 years old, lacking understanding object persistency? 🤔
"Dumbledore's got style".
Marvelous HP video per usual, you’re quite a good TH-camr.
The donkey's behind his head was a very nice touch
Great video!
Sirius was abandoned as a kid by half his family and never knew creature regulus and tonks were heroes🦸♀️🦸🦸♂️👦
I think he would know. The wizarding world pretty much reveals there is life after death.
I feel like Fundge is kinda like the Minister during the Fantastic Beasts The crimes of Grindelwald. That minister used his power unfairly.
That Minister for Magic was called Hector Fawley and he didn’t take Grindelwald’s threat seriously. He was replaced by the more proactive Leonard Spencer-Moon, who was Winston Churchill’s wizarding counterpart.
i odnt agree
@@YellowBear-kx1ff And Fumbling Fudge was like Neville Chamberlain during World War II where he didn't take the threat of Adolf Hitler seriously, hence was impeached as Prime Minister of England and was replaced by Winston Churchill.
One thing that I've always wondered is this... What spell did Dumbledore use to disappear when they came for in in his office? It always looked like he was somehow teleported by his phoenix, but a Phoenix does possess the ability to teleport. So what spell was used then?
that was in the movies in the books he did not teleport but knocked all out except himself harry and mcgonnal i believe. have to re read to be sure but i believe it went that way. i am open to being corrected though
Yes he stunned everyone with an unknown spell then he teleported away with the Phoenix
Dumbledore is able to apparate in hogwarts, he even says this to harry in half blood prince
Oh wait movies again
Fudge is a prime example of why a free press is so important. The way he manipulated the Daily Prophet and, subsequently, it’s readership was dangerous and damaging.
Why doesn’t it surprise me that the most watched part of this video is the very beginning where fudge says “he’s not back!!”
I just realized actors/actresses who played their character that make us despise them strongly really a good person irl and great act ☺️☺️
Triple punches 🤛🏻 to him but I didn’t know that the actor died. For that I say R.I.H (rest in Heaven).
We can hate the character but admire the actor.
Thank You Dean❤️
He wasn’t bad, like many people he was stubborn, stuck in his ways. How many people in real life do things that harm them because it’s easier to keep things the same? Like people that won’t leave their house even though that will get them killed.
As you said, it’s easier to believe in the lie than believe in Voldemort’s return.
The big diffrence is his inaction didnt just put him in danger, it put everyone else in danger too, and not just the wizarding world.
The one thing that bothered me, was that raging fire behind some of the ministers, like.....wearing those robes, a raging fire behind them, they must be sweltering.
Making this quarantine a lot better
I loved it when you put him in a field of jackasses. Classic.
The Chamberlin of the Harry Potter universe
Hector Fawley was the FIRST Chamberlain of the HP universe. Fudge was the 2nd. Fawley didn’t take Grindelwald’s threat seriously and was replaced by the more proactive Leonard Spencer-Moon, who was Winston Churchill’s wizarding counterpart.
2:04. That suits Fudge nicely
Video Idea: What would Cedric's Patronus be?
Probably a badger, because he had all the traits of Hufflepuff House
Video idea : What if cedric, and dumbledore lived
Ive been early 😍
I came early too 💦
Haven't watched your videos in a while. Got loads to watch now!
He was scarred that peace would be gone
I think that a part of it was denial, because he didn't want to admit or believe that Voldemort was alive. And another part was that he was enjoying the power trip that being the Minister of Magic gave him. He doesn't want any of the British witches and wizards to doubt that he was the man for the job. He hated that he was not the first or even second choice for Minister either. If he had any sense, he should have taken stock of what Dumbledore said about Voldemort being back.
hi Dean. Great as always.. How about one if Tom Riddle came and picked up his infant son from the orphanage and raised him with his parents after Merope died?
There was this line in goblet of fire the movie, after crouch Senior died where you can hear fudge in Dumbledore‘s office. While Dumbledore was trying to convince him to call off the rest of the tri-Wizard match Fudge says, “I will not be seen as a coward”.
What happened to Fudge after he resigned?? Was he killed during the Second Wizarding War, or did he go Underground??
Last of him mentioned in the books was that he was at dumbledors funeral. I think he just silently retired
he`s seen at st. pattys day parades wearing his green bowler
@@marcelsgroot no in the Order of the Phoenix he was sent to the muggle minister to to tell him he was replaced and that Voldemort was back.
@@vermiciosknid9629 he did that in the half blood prince and befor the funeral of dumbledor. So I still believe I am correct
I got so put off HP in June when the JK stuff happened, I’m getting back into it and I’m just realising how much I missed your channel
Luv it .... Be safe everyone 😉... Thank you ☺️...
Fudge did not want to believe that the Death Lord had come back because he remembered the havoc that Voldermort reaked >n the first war and the people who died then.
Don't forget that, according to the book, Voldy wasn't openly acting. Meaning that what Voldy was doing was done very quietly. Combine this with Malfoy manipulating him, it's easy to see how Fudge could act so ignorantly.
I love how when dean said that fudge will go down to be the worst minister for magic he put a pic of donkeys in the backround
He is in history as the man who stepped aside and allowed voldemort another chance to retake power.
you should start a versus series, like two characters battling one another. analyze their tactics and abilities and reach a verdict
I've always wondered if being under the imperious curse makes you more susceptible to the confundus charm or more resistant to it.
Tonks almost never knew her family
So sorry 😣 😢 😞
Another thing was that Fudge was scared that Dumbledore was after his job and didn't want to lose power.
I love your videos
Awesome 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for the heart on my last comment! I love your channel more then a average fan because I haven't read the books so it's always nice getting to know some more "Potter Folklore" it's a pun
I'll see myself out
Why does the background music for the beginning of this video sounds like the background music for Fable?
I also think he was under the imperius curse during Order of the Phoenix. Imo
That is very plausible.
I want to thank you because that something that really made my evening and can you explain why all the books only have two books 7 to explain what different in the books to the films
What I like about Fudge as a character is that he is a unique kind of 'bad guy'. At no point is he 'evil'. What I find best about his character is the fact that Dumbeldore was in fact creating a secret army to take on the Ministry, and Ddore was in fact hiding important information he should have shared. In most stories, even when the bumbling was innocent they usually still end up becoming EVIL so the good guy is justified in killing them. I like that at no time did Fudge become EVIL, he was just right about Dumbeldore, but wrong about Riddle, and all of his boobery and corruption coes from that.
Fudge, at end of OOTF, after seeing Voldemort himself: "[gasp] He's back..."
Me, wishing I could punch him through the screen: "NO SHIT, DUMBASS"
If Scrimgeour became Minister at that point, things might've been okay.
Literally gave Fudge "donkey of the day" 😂😂🤘🏼🎯 accurate
Legilimency: Exists
Everyone in-universe: Not now!
A little bit of headcanon of myself is that "what the fudge is going on?" Became a common saying in the ministry whenever something is amiss after he resigned.
_He's NOT bahhkcckck!_
Make another video about What if Fudge joined the Death Eaters.
Here's how I would see it:
After finally seeing Voldemort in the Ministry of Magic with his own eyes and being forced to accept the truth along with being sacked from his position, Fumbling Fudge had finally snapped, feeling absolutely humiliated that he was forced to accept the truth about Voldemort's return and blames both Dumbledore and Harry for losing everything, ranging from his credibility and his desire to be in control of everything other than his treacherous acts and atrocities he had committed against not only his country, but countrymen in the wizarding world. Fudge would throw a temper tantrum, trashing his home and presumably his old office in a fit of hate and anger, and later plans his own personal vendetta against both Dumbledore and Harry while joining the Death Eaters.
Why does fudge sound so funny when he say he's not back
the “ass” pics at 2:08 i’m dead
He was under a spell to look the other way and deny Voldemort had returned.
Also if anyone's interested, the Prime minister of England during the span of the Harry Potter books was John Major, member for Huntingdon.
Ouch 😓 😣 🤕
2:07
Wow! 🤣 Way to go! Found a way to call him a jackass without having to swear. 👏
What normal people see: camera zoom in on the newspaper
What I see: camera zoom in on ron making a funny face
Spectacular!! ^_^
Cornelius fudge is probably the type of government in a zombie apocalypse who would try to calm everyone down and end up actually making the apocalypse worse
amazing that even the wizarding world has those that silence people
Thing that always bothered me is Harry escaping meant dumbledore knew he was back. He was going to know regardless thanks to snapes dark mark
I seen the movie and he saw him at the end and he definitely owes Harry Potter and Dumbledore a apology and told him he should have got right on it right away
We had a hint as to what Fudge was about in COS when he had Hagrid sent to Azkaban just to be seen as doing something.
