At the end of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Dumbledore’s funeral is held, and people from all across the world show up, including Umbridge. Seeing as though Umbridge was kidnapped by the Centaurs, she most likely had a PTSD flashback, (Rowling, 644)
This scene was important to me because it was one of the most emotional scenes in the whole series. Dumbledore was always one of my most favorite characters. And as Umbridge was only there for self-gain, she deserved to be dragged back into the forest again.
In this scene, Dumbledore is confronted by Malfoy and some other death eaters before Snape kills him. (Rowling, 595) Before that Dumbledore freezes Harry into place, who is waiting for Dumbledore to unfreeze him, and either help or run, when there’s an opportunity. However, that never happens.
This scene is important to me because this is another one of the most emotional scenes in the series, and also one of the most important scenes in the series as well. While the picture above makes fun out of this, this scene did have an emotional impact on me.
In this scene, Harry is asked by Romilda, a cute girl in his year, to sit next to her and her friends instead of Neville and Luna, and Harry coldly declined. (Rowling 138) The joke is that Harry’s a clown for not doing it. Of course, this isn’t true it’s only a joke, and Harry made the right choice.
This scene is important to me because it shows some of Harry’s true character into play. Harry is a true friend, and he’s willing to do anything for them, even if they aren’t willing to do anything for him, and they would do anything for him.
In these scenes, Harry tells his friends that Draco may be a death eater. Barely anybody believes him, and Harry ends up being right anyway. (Rowling, 135) But when they find out Harry uses the book by the mysterious Half blood-prince, their reactions seem more exaggerated, especially Hermione’s reaction.
These scenes are important to me because both of them were very interesting parts of the book and some of my favorites as well. Both of these scenes are also major plot points.
In this scene, Harry spies/stalks on Malfoy in the Hogwarts express to see if he can get any information on him, to confirm that he’s become a death eater. And this isn’t even the first time in the book Harry has followed him around.
This scene is important to me because it’s a very strange thing for Harry to do something like this, and sure, Malfoy has always been somewhat of a bad guy, (nothing worse than a bully) it’s an interesting thing for Malfoy to be an actual bad guy.
