So this video was inspired by multiple quotes, including the one at the beginning of this video.
‘After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.’
‘It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high. Some people, perhaps, would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew - and so do I, thought Harry, with a rush of fierce pride, and so did my parents - that there was all the difference in the world.’
The idea behind it stems from that beginning quote about Harry’s protectors. I decided to focus on Harry’s parents, Goblet of Fire (although Cedric wasn’t a protector, I feel like that part of the film and Cedric’s death helped shape Harry’s character and his feelings about death, so I included him), Order of the Phoenix (Sirius), Half-Blood Prince (Dumbledore) and of course Deathly Hallows (Moody, George, Dobby’s death, and then the Battle of Hogwarts (including Fred, Lupin and Tonks) up to The Forest Again. I also decided to compare the various times Harry has faced Voldemort alone, without protection. I just hope all that comes through in the video! And I hope you like it :)
