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 Movies Totally Ruined The Chosen One Prophecy (& Neville Twist)

Harry Potter Movies Totally Ruined The Chosen One Prophecy (& Neville Twist)

The Harry Potter movies mentioned the prophecy of the "Chosen One", but they failed at explaining it, and with that they failed Neville Longbottom.

Harry Potter Movies Totally Ruined The Chosen One Prophecy (& Neville Twist)

The Harry Potter movies did their best to include as many details and characters from the books as possible, but they completely failed the “Chosen One” prophecy, and with it the importance of Neville Longbottom in the story. J.K. Rowling presented her very own world of magic in 1997 with Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the first entry in what would become a series of seven novels, ending in 2007 with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

It didn’t take long for Harry Potter and company to make the jump to the big screen, beginning in 2001 and ending ten years later, with Deathly Hallows being split into two parts. The Harry Potter movies covered as much ground as possible, as the novels are packed with details and characters of all types, but it had to cut some scenes, of which some weren’t exactly relevant to the story. However, it also ignored others that were very important to understand not only Harry Potter but Lord Voldemort and some secondary characters as well.

One thing Harry Potter fans will never forgive is how the movies failed to properly explain the “Chosen One” prophecy, as it also ended up ruining a very important part of Neville Longbottom’s arc.

Harry Potter Movies Forgot Neville Could Have Been The Chosen One

Harry Potter Movies Totally Ruined The Chosen One Prophecy (& Neville Twist)

Sybill Trelawney’s prophecy said that the one powerful enough to defeat Lord Voldemort would be that born to those who “thrice defied him”, born as the seventh month dies, and would be marked by Voldemort as his equal. The “chosen one” would also have power the Dark Lord doesn’t, and stated that “either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives” (this part has been interpreted differently among fans). Casual Harry Potter viewers will immediately link the “chosen one” term to Harry Potter, but he wasn’t the only child who could have defeated Lord Voldemort.

Neville Longbottom was also a candidate for the “chosen one” label, as he also fits the prophecy. Neville was born on July 30, 1980, and Harry the day after; and the Longbottoms, just like the Potters, defied Voldemort on three occasions. The only reason why Harry was the one is because Voldemort thought Harry was the child the prophecy was talking about. By targeting him and trying to kill him, Voldemort marked him as his equal, while Neville got to live his life without that burden (though that doesn’t mean he had an easy life). The Harry Potter movies failed to explain that part of the prophecy, and instead Neville was just Harry’s friend who was shy and clumsy, but played an important part in the Battle of Hogwarts – that’s something the movies couldn’t take away from him.

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 ...
