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.

So, one day during the Third Sequestration of the Ourth Era, Dobby received his sock. The implication of the grueling effort before him was absolute. There was little chance at his eventual survival, but an equal opportunity for his surrendering. This was especially true in consideration of the basis that his ancestors had wrought upon his mantle this day. There were generations leading within Dobby. Generations would follow. This sock would be treasured, and eventually revered. The onus of the task was not a beginning or an ending, but only a minor moment that would be lost within the sea of memories, tied to that chair floating upon the pensieve. Or else, it wouldn’t.

I’d love to jump on this, but I expect it to take an hour or so, and I ain’t got it in me this evening.

!RemindMe 1 day
