During a conversation with W Magazine, the Spider-Man actor remembered the Hermione actor from the 2005 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire movie. While both actors are extremely talented, their characters have been loved by the audiences. His performance as Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has given him fame worldwide.

The food and customs of the muggle (non-wizarding) world as well as the boarding school traditions, dormitories and four school houses deeply resonated with those of us brought up in the UK during the 1970s and 1980s, as J.K. The exhibition did a good job of evoking the wizarding world and making us smile. I knew that the Harry Potter Exhibition had been touring around the USA, and when the editor of this newspaper pointed out to me that it would be closing in Georgia at the end of February, I decided to prioritize a visit to Atlanta. During her time in London the idea of Harry Potter and the wizarding world came to her as she sat on a delayed train! I don’t think that the fact that millennials (born 1981-1996) generally have a great love of alternate worlds and fantasy fiction is a coincidence! I have long been a fan of the Harry Potter books and the imaginary world created by British author J.K.

Plenty of witches and wizards have excelled in a particular niche in Harry Potter, but one mastered all facets and could have defeated Voldemort.

He was also notably accomplished in herbology, dueling, wandless magic and spell creation, as well as combating the Dark Arts, all of which secured his role as one of the most well-rounded magic users of his time or any other. [Voldemort, Grindelwald and other dark wizards](https://www.cbr.com/voldemort-vs-grindelwald-which-wizarding-world-villain-is-more-powerful/) was his ability to understand ancient magic, a far more potent form of spell casting. He differed greatly from many Slytherins both at the time and since because he was a great believer in the rights of muggles to live peacefully alongside wizardkind. After leaving the school, Merlin joined the Court of King Arthur and became friends with Sir Cadogan, a relationship that enabled him to secure a position as part of the Knights of the Round Table. As well as having the significant privilege of appearing on a chocolate frog card alongside the likes of Dumbledore, he also gives his name to the Order of Merlin award. Despite having been born a thousand years before the events of the Harry Potter series, in around the year 982, his influence was still very much felt in the books and subsequent films.

The Pensieve was a useful device in Harry Potter that showed the Wizarding World's past, but the movie cut most of these moments, altering the story.

The Dark Lord's purpose in the castle had always been to hide his Horcrux, Ravenclaw's diadem, in the Room of Requirement, where Harry would find it years later in Harry Potter. Harry's final trip into the Pensieve was included in the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 movie, but only a few of Severus Snape's memories were featured. However, it had extraordinary significance in the book, not just because of the DADA curse reveal, but because it gave Harry a hint at a location of a Horcrux in Deathly Hallows. The teenage Tom Riddle had discovered the identity of his mother's family but was disappointed when he went looking and found only Morfin living in the abandoned hovel that was his home. Incidentally, this was the house of the Riddle family, whom Voldemort had murdered when he was in school. In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Voldemort lured Harry to the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic so that Harry could retrieve a prophecy. Harry knew from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets that one of Voldemort's first murders had been Myrtle Warren (Moaning Myrtle). It was a cruel way to have been conceived, which helped Harry understand the loveless way Voldemort had come into the world in Harry Potter. Dressed in rags and covered in dirt, she sold to Burke the only thing she owned of value, Slytherin's locket. In the movie, the headmaster wanted his student to see the first moment he met the Dark Lord as a child and reveal that, even in school, Voldemort had been searching for a solution to mortality in the Horcruxes. Harry still dove into the Pensieve, a device used to view memories firsthand, a handful of times in the Harry Potter movies.

Rowling’s magical “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” showcased within a vault inspired by the goblin bank, Gringotts. Fresh off tours in Atlanta, Vienna and an upcoming stop in Paris, “Harry Potter: The Exhibition” promises “an immersive celebration of the entire wizarding world,” according to the organizers of the exhibit. The first exhibit bridges the viewer “From Page to Screen,” with a first edition of J.K.

"Harry Potter" star Evanna Lynch says J.K. Rowling deserves "more grace" after the author faced backlash for making transphobic remarks online.

[spoke out against Rowling’s remarks](https://pagesix.com/2020/06/08/harry-potter-star-daniel-radcliffe-responds-to-j-k-rowling-tweets/) in an open letter in which he declared that “transgender women are women.” “I didn’t even know there were two sides. I had a view of, like, good and bad. At the time, she tweeted a link to an opinion article headlined “Creating a more equal post-COVID-19 world for people who menstruate.” “I just felt that her character has always been to advocate for the most vulnerable members of society,” the “My Name Is Emily” actress continued. Though Lynch said she has “great compassion for trans people” and doesn’t “want to add to their pain,” she believes “it’s important” that Rowling, 57, has been “amplifying voices of de-transitioners.”

Romance played an important role in the Harry Potter movies, but the relationships weren't always the best depicted compared to the books.

Harry is clearly the male lead and Hermione is the female lead. [Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire](https://movieweb.com/movie/harry-potter-and-the-goblet-of-fire/) is the first time the series talks about the idea of relationships on screen, and they play a major role in the plot. The absence of Ginny, reduction of Ron’s role, and chemistry between Harry and Hermione all point towards them [The Deathly Hallows Part 1](https://movieweb.com/movie/harry-potter-and-the-deathly-hallows-part-1/) and [The Deathly Hallows Part 2](https://movieweb.com/movie/harry-potter-and-the-deathly-hallows-part-2/) can be looked at together as they are meant to blend together. [Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix](https://movieweb.com/movie/harry-potter-and-the-order-of-the-phoenix/) does little for Ron and Hermione’s relationship, but two very big things for Harry’s love life. [Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban](https://movieweb.com/movie/harry-potter-and-the-prisoner-of-azkaban/) sees a continuation of the tension between Ron and Hermione present in the first book, though this time she is fighting back rather than running away. Importantly, this is the movie where Hermione describes what a love potion smells like to her, and they are things to do with Ron. At seeing this, Ron (who had already been acting childish towards Harry for half the movie due to a lack of communication) acts like a childish ass towards Hermione and spoils everyone’s night. [Harry Potter](https://movieweb.com/harry-potter-movies-rotten-tomatoes-score/) movies, but not in a way that would give the audience any indication of how things would ultimately end up. While [romance](https://movieweb.com/tag/romance/) is certainly still present in the movies, to many, the way that love is presented falls short of the expectations set by the books. A general rule is fiction is that if two characters do not have a pre-established relationship at the beginning of a story, they likely won’t end up together officially until near the end of the story after a lot of will-they-won’t-they tension and flirting. [cut plot lines, characters](https://movieweb.com/harry-potter-book-characters-not-in-movies/), and odd portrayal of Dumbledore beyond the first two movies, one particularly disappointing aspect of the films that many fans have come to realize is the lack of any satisfying love stories that were present in the books.
