Harry Potter Horcruxes Ranked By Difficulty Of Obtaining Them

Harry Potter Horcruxes Ranked By Difficulty Of Obtaining Them If the Horcruxes were easy to obtain, the seventh film would have been a lot shorter. It's time to rank the Horcruxes by how hard they were to get. As if defeating Lord Voldemort was already hard enough, Harry Potter was left reeling in the Half Blood Prince when he was informed that He Who Must Not Be Named had taken measures to ensure he was, pretty much, immortal. The Dark Lord had, years previously, chosen to create Horcruxes - tiny bits of your soul that are stored inside an object to ensure your survival. Harry then spends the best part of 18 months tracking down the items, getting rid of them one by one before besting Voldemort himself during an epic final showdown at the battle of Hogwarts. We now rank each Horcrux by how difficult it was to obtain and destroy - starting with the easiest to the hardest. 7 Harry Himself Obviously, finding out you’re a Horcrux is a pretty difficult thing to comprehend. And poor Har...

Harry Potter Draco Malfoy’s 10 Most Redeeming Moments

Harry Potter Draco Malfoy’s 10 Most Redeeming Moments

Like Dudley, Kreacher and other despised characters, Harry Potter's Draco Malfoy has proven himself sympathetic and even redeemable at times.

Harry Potter Draco Malfoy’s 10 Most Redeeming Moments

Draco Malfoy is snobby, bigoted, arrogant and generally horrible throughout most of the Harry Potter series. This is why, as an adult and wizarding parent, he's much more refreshing, especially given how strained Potter's own relationship with his child is in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

Malfoy was easy to hate in the books, and had Tom Felton not portrayed the character in the movies, he likely wouldn't have had as large a fan following. Still, like Dudley, Kreacher and other despised characters, Draco wasn't all bad. He proved to be a sympathetic and even redeemable wizard on numerous occasions throughout his life. Let's take a look!

10 He Became More Tolerant, Thanks To His Wife

Harry Potter Draco Malfoy’s 10 Most Redeeming Moments

The younger sibling of one of Draco's classmates, she obviously fostered the same sort of kindness and understanding in her husband. While she was tragically taken from her family too early, her influence lives on in the compassion and care that Draco gives their son, Scorpius. Harry Potter has even learned to be more caring through his old enemy's influence.

9 He Initially Wanted To Be Friends With Harry

Harry Potter Draco Malfoy’s 10 Most Redeeming Moments

It's not the most redeeming moment of his life, but it does demonstrate that Draco isn't a complete monster, even if he did make the offer while simultaneously insulting Ron Weasley in the process. Things could have been quite different had they been able to make friends as their sons did.

8 He Didn't Kill Dumbledore

In the end, Draco could not bring himself to take his headmaster down, forcing Severus Snape to do the dirty work once again.

7 He May Have Never Joined The Death Eaters

Harry Potter Draco Malfoy’s 10 Most Redeeming Moments

If Draco didn't join the Death Eaters, it's possible that he still had misgivings about becoming one all along. This makes sense, since many of his actions seemed to be fueled more by his need to impress his father than his own desires.

6 He Didn't Use The Time-Turner To See Astoria

Harry Potter Draco Malfoy’s 10 Most Redeeming Moments

Malfoy obviously misses Astoria terribly, and he didn't get nearly enough time with her due to her ill health, but he knew it would be wrong to visit her in the past and only confuse her or possibly change time itself in the process.

5 He Worked With Harry To Save Their Sons And Stop Voldemort

Harry Potter Draco Malfoy’s 10 Most Redeeming Moments

Even after these difficulties, Malfoy and Potter manage to work together to save their sons when they mess about with a Time-Turner and alter history. It can't have been easy for either of them, but the greater good was also at stake.

4 His Wand Had A Unicorn Core

Harry Potter Draco Malfoy’s 10 Most Redeeming Moments

Maybe Draco's own wand knew that he would turn out to be a good wizard in the end long before anyone else did (save perhaps Albus Dumbledore)?

3 He Raised His Son To Be Open-Minded

Harry Potter Draco Malfoy’s 10 Most Redeeming Moments

Given that Scorpius is sweet on Rose Granger-Weasley, that may not even be an issue if she returns his feelings one day, but it's a far step away from the intolerance with which Draco was raised. It's also a lesson Harry has to learn, as he forbids his son from making friends with Scorpius.

2 He Gives Harry Parenting Advice

Harry Potter Draco Malfoy’s 10 Most Redeeming Moments

"Maybe the black cloud Bane saw was Albus’s loneliness. His pain. His hatred. Don’t lose the boy. You’ll regret it. And so will he. Because he needs you, and Scorpius, whether or not he now knows it," he advised his old nemesis.

1 He Saved Harry Potter's Life

Harry Potter Draco Malfoy’s 10 Most Redeeming Moments

Draco must have absolutely known that it was Potter but didn't give the young wizard away, saving his life in the process. It would have been a really easy way to gain back Voldemort's favor and assist his shamed family, and he made the difficult choice to do the right thing instead.

Harry Potter The 10 Most Difficult Potions To Make

Harry Potter The 10 Most Difficult Potions To Make Even the most skilled alchemists would struggle concocting these 10 potions from Harry Potter. The art of making potions is often depicted as one of the more difficult tasks at Hogwarts. Not dissimilar to cooking, one wrong ingredient or measurement can ruin the entire dish.

We're taking a look at ten of the most difficult potions in the series. 10 Draught of Living Death The Draught of Living Death potion may sound familiar to you if you watched the Harry Potter films and read the first book in the novel, referenced in the very first interaction between Snape and Harry.

5 Reasons Why Prisoner Of Azkaban Is The Worst Harry Potter Movie (& 5 Reasons Why The Book Is The Best Book)

5 Reasons Why Prisoner Of Azkaban Is The Worst Harry Potter Movie (& 5 Reasons Why The Book Is The Best Book) While each of the seven books and eight movies based on Harry Potter are terrific, it's time to point out some of Prisoner of Azkaban's shortcomings. It's almost a universal consensus that Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the best story by J.K. Rowling. It brings in more new characters than its predecessors and drastically shifts in tone to start Harry's descent into the dark corners of the wizarding world. It highlights even more magic than we thought possible while bringing the backstories of the central characters into better light. That being said, there is a major difference between the movie version and its source material. The book is without a doubt one of the series most masterful works. However, despite its good moments, the movie somehow manages to be one of the worst HP film adaptations. Some people might not agree, but, for those who ...
