In this episode, we discuss why certain scenes shouldn't have been from Harry's perspective. Enjoy!

Topics/Summary:

· 1:50 James and Lily’s murder. This scene is pretty blurry and vague because it’s from Harry’s perspective. Now that we know what’s going, seeing what Voldemort is feeling and how he is defeated would mean more than shots of a baby. This scene from Lily or James would show us how they stood fast and fought for their family and gave their lives so Harry could go on.

· 11:21 The sorting ceremony. This is a smaller moment, but we could consider it the beginning of Harry’s journey. We should be able to see Dumbledore and how he acknowledges this as the true commencement of the second war against Voldemort.

· 16:15 The graveyard. This is Voldemort’s big moment and his return. Who else to show us how Voldemort is feeling than the big man himself? After thirteen years of suffering, he can finally walk on his own two feet again and bring darkness to the world. We would learn something about him if we could experience his triumph.

· 21:17 The Battle of the Ministry of Magic. Sirius, Bellatrix, Dumbledore, or Voldemort would be such a better choice than Harry! We could begin with him, but once the fighting starts, seeing the duels from Harry’s eyes is pretty lame.

· 26:48 Dumbledore’s death. This is the climax of Snape and Voldemort’s plan. Snape kills Dumbledore to cement his place by Voldemort’s side. Notice how Harry isn’t really involved? Yeah. Snape’s eyes are really the only ones we should be seeing through in this scene. He is forced to kill his mentor and protector, and move into the final stages of their plan. This is the end of their friendship and the end of Dumbledore’s life.
