HARRY POTTER UNPOPULAR OPINIONS:
"I loved Prisoner of Askaban, but it introduces the time turner which really messes with the logic of the overall story and I wish JKR introduced a diff plot device other than time travel, it adds far too many questions and is such a dodgy deus ex machina. (Harry with the cloak and time turner would be OP)
1.The introduction is so contrived. It's given to Hermione, a CHILD just so she can take more classes which is resolved by her ditching Divination and Muggle studies, both useless for her anyway.
2.Professor McGonagall, knowing of the Trio's constant shenanigans gets approval from the ministry and gives it to her, which is so OOC.
3.Dumbledore is ok with allowing Buckbeak and Sirius's lives to be saved via time travel, yet never brings it up before or after as an option to save others.
4. It breaks the in-world rules/logic about cheating death with magic
5. It's never mentioned again š¤Ŗ, well until all are rendered useless in the the battle of the ministry of magic. How convenient"

HARRY POTTER UNPOPULAR OPINIONS:
"Voldemortās movie death was thematically appropriate.
Yes, in the book he died as nothing more than a man, yet that visual worked due to the quick draw of their duel and the Hogwarts students serving as an audience. In both mediums the death is meant to display how Voldemortās selfish desire and endless cruelty kills his legacy faster than his body can decay. Likewise, in the movie, by having him turn to dust it visually shows how irrelevant his impact truly is. After eight movies of killing and manipulating others Harry is the only person there with Voldemort which emphasizes that his selfish choices left him with nothing but himself and his worst enemy. Voldemort in the movies thrives in a crowd hence his choice to publicly display Harryās corpse before the final battle, it works by inspiring fear, so by removing that closure for him without anyone else seeing his strength or power that made Voldemortās demise both painful and satisfying."

"I think people miss the point of morally gray characters. There is always some sort of debate somewhere about whether Snape is good or bad when he isnāt really meant to be either. I get people might like/dislike him as a character but saying heās actually good or actually bad kind of defeats the point imo (Iām not saying people donāt understand heās a morally gray character itās just almost never mentioned when heās discussed)"

HARRY POTTER UNPOPULAR OPINIONS:
"Dumbledore didnt make any questionable choices after Grindelwald at all.
1- he had no choice but to make harry the chosen one
2- he cared for harry, and i think he was right. Telling harry that he would have to kill the most darkest wizard at the age of 13 or before without enough training is a very risky thing and would definitely cause a lot of fear between Harry, ron, and hermione
3- getting snape to the good side was the right choice. sure, it was manipulation, but he didnt lie exactly. he was going to do anything he could possibly do to save the potters, and getting a new ally was a bonus. he didnt even torture snape, he just gave him a special job, like the rest of the members in the OOTP
the only thing im annoyed about from him since Grindelwald was him stealing harrys sweets."

"I feel like the hate for Umbridge is a bit excessive. Like yeah I get that sheās a terrible person but I see people saying that Umbridge is worse that Voldemort, the wizard equivalent to Hitler. Umbridge is still a cvnt but at least she didnāt commit mass murder because of eugenics."

HARRY POTTER UNPOPULAR OPINIONS:
"This may be a bit hard to explain, but I think Moody is one of the worst-written supporting characters. The first time we "meet" him, it's not really him but an impostor. The fact that someone is pretending to be him (no matter how good at acting) is not the same as me, the reader, really getting to know him. All I get is someone's portrayal of him - an idea of what he is about - so I can't say I know Moody.
When he reappears in the rest of the books, I'm supposed to pretend I "know him", but I'm really just confused. I know the fake Moody, but the real man never gets a real opportunity to reintroduce himself. He just becomes a part of the crowd and expects the reader to care about him, but again, I only got to know Crouch masquerading as him.
When Moody eventually dies, I don't feel any particular way about it. I never really got to know him."

HARRY POTTER UNPOPULAR OPINIONS:
"Lucius and Narcissa were the most horrible parents. I think the books make it obvious that Lucius never wanted a child, but did it to carry on the family name. Draco was only mean and prejudiced because his parents raised him that way, he didn't know better. By the end of the deathly hallows we see Draco starting to learn that maybe he was wrong about everything. Lucius and Narcissa were the first to make sure Draco was on the death eater side, because if he died they wouldn't have an heir. If either of them loved Draco, they wouldn't have done what they did."

HARRY POTTER UNPOPULAR OPINIONS:
"Nicholas Flamel is sort of bad. The whole principle, or a lot, of the saga is accepting death, and he was trying to get to the same goal as this madman. To be afraid of death and not accepting it, or not even physically letting it happen to you ever, is cowardly and it just removes the whole nature of everything. I know that Flamel wasn't a Gryffindor or whatever, but I would expect Dumbledore to be involving himself in more courageous people rather then wizards who have a similar, but less evil, perspective as Voldemort. Dumbledore doesnt ever say anything about how wrong he was, and I haven't heard anything about the fact that Dumbledore might have swayed him against from going awry. It might be a bit big-headed and selfish to keep this Elixir to yourself too. To be fair, Flamel did make it, but I think there are people who could have used it better. Aurors, and more powerful wizards should have it, as they have more use to the magical community and this would have been good aid."

"This isnāt really a confession but more of a thought.
I honestly find it really weird how during the quidditch match where the Slytherins were singing that āWeasley is our Kingā song, none of the teachers attempted to stop the song which was completely discouraging Ron but get super fussed when Harry and George attack Draco (when he further insulted them!). And while I agree itās never ok to use violence on another person, itās also never ok to get an entire house against one person and embarrass them in front of the entire school. I would also like to add that Crabbe hit a bludger at Harry out of retaliation for winning and he somehow just got lines?
Do you think itās fair that Malfoy didnāt get detention for taunting Ron in front of the entire school and Crabbe only getting lines when he deliberately harmed Harry because he won?"

"Time turners were one of the worst things added to Harry Potter. It is introduced and then never talked about again, even though it is arguably one of the most powerful things in the Harry Potter universe. If Hermione could get one then many powerful wizards also could have got one. This could have changed the outcome of literally anything. There's not much more to say about it, but it never should have been added because of its powers."
