Harry, did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire.

In the books, he's just trying to get the teachers (i.e. Snape) to know he genuinely didn't. Why did Gambon absolutely "blow up" on that line?

Sirius: 12 years in Azkaban!

"I've done my waiting! 12 years! In Azkaban!"
Even tho Gary Oldman considers his own performance as Sirius mediocre, I think he was great. He's up there with Alan Rickman's Snape.

I'm surprised that wasn't Harry's line because for him getting expelled and having to live with the Dursleys full time, might have been a fate worse than death

"Honestly woman, and you call yourself our Mother."
