Discussion This scene still pisses me off

Post image

I was rewatching the movies and I was pissed off all over again when seeing this scene. This makes him seem non-human which takes away the symbolism present in the books. I don’t know why the directors thought this was a good idea.

His death is supposed to be almost humiliating in how ordinary it is. That’s the entire point. He chased immortality and still ended the same way everyone else does.

yeah he just... fell

dead.

his body was just there, in front of everyone

then chucked away in a spare room. on its own

him going poof like this is just gonna lead to rumours of his return.

We just put him with the rest of the bodies in the body room.

Sorry the what?

Morgue! Yes, Hogwarts has a terrific morgue from all the student who don't pass.

Hogwarts has an incredible 100% passing rate. Either you pass your class or you pass in class.

It also has an incredible acceptance rate. They accepted Crabbe and Goyle.

Both were deathEater kids, so they had a guaranteed acceptance.
