From the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, Fleur Delacour represented, while from the Durmstrang Institute, Victor Krum represented. Then the Hogwarts party arrived, represented by Cedric Diggory from the Hufflepuff dormitory.

When the tournament was about to be confirmed, suddenly the Goblet of Fire, aka the Goblet of Fire, issued another piece of paper with the name Harry Potter. This, of course, made things boisterous because Harry was not old enough to follow him. Hogwarts headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, confused and suspicious of how Harry Potter’s name could enter the Goblet of Fire.

Not only that, Harry will even tried at the Ministry of Magic. Of course Harry defended himself, saying that everything he did was to chase away the dementors that had attacked him. The Headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore, helps Harry by asking the judge to investigate further.

Since the Ministry of Magic unilaterally overthrew it, Dumbledore’s whereabouts have been unknown.

6. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)

In the 6th Harry Potter movies, of course, it will be even more tense and touching. One day, Harry and Ron had to borrow textbooks for the Potions class taught by Professor Severus Snape. Whether it’s a coincidence or not, the textbook Harry borrowed looks very worn and contains lots of hand-drawn notes. The hand scribbles actually provide various instructions, spells, and even additional recommendations for suitable potion ingredients. This made Harry look superior during practical classes. Upon further inspection, on the front of the textbook printed the name The Half-Blood Prince, aka the Half-Blood Prince.

After investigating, it turns out that the Death Eaters, aka Voldemort’s followers, are planning to return to control of the wizarding world.

This did not even make Harry Potter and his friends stop fighting Voldemort just like that. They think that the wizarding world and the muggle world are not doing well because Voldemort has started to show himself.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I (2010)

In the 7th Harry Potter film, Part I, the wizarding world is getting chaotic. Harry, Ron, and Hermione set out to find Voldemort’s remaining horcruxes without anyone’s help.

However, Ron and Harry fought because of a misunderstanding until they were finally caught by the Death Eaters.

The atmosphere in the seventh film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I, is very dark and depressing. When Harry, Ron, and Hermione were caught by the Death Eaters, they were “tried” by Bellatrix Lestrange, the cousin of Sirius Black’s cousin. Hermione was made a butt of by Bellatrix because she a muggleborn. Remembering that Bellatrix, who a descendant of Slytherin, hates muggleborn wizards so much Suddenly, the figure of the house elf, Dobby, who had set free by Harry, appeared.

Not only that, Harry Potter’s other partners are each “on duty” to fight against the Death Eaters, who are very numerous.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II (2011)

The thing that amazes me the existence of two other Voldemort’s horcruxes that can exterminated at one time. The seventh film will also feature the character development of Neville Longbottom. Remembering that since the first Harry Potter film, the character of Neville Longbottom has always portrayed as a fat wizard who always ostracized.
