We can say that the saga Harry Potter is full of surprises! There are also intrigues that we did not see coming…

With seven books and eight films, we can say that the world created by JK Rowling is rich. Fans around the world never tire of discussing many theories, and sharing their opinions on the work. Moreover, we can say that Internet users agree on certain points. For example, some plots ofHarry Potter turned out to be really unexpected. Indeed, readers and spectators did not have time to get tired, since the twists and surprises followed one another. And if some do not seem essential to the story, they are nevertheless decisive in the story of certain characters.

Barty Crouch who gets his son out of prison

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, the hero begins his fourth year at Hogwarts. A great event takes place at the school of wizards: the Triwizard Tournament. Barty Croupton father is one of the organizers. And this event is also an opportunity for Voldemort to concoct a new plan. He sends one of his loyal servants to Hogwarts, in the guise of Moody Mad-Eye, to manipulate Harry. This Death Eater is none other than Barty Croupton junior! His father, in a burst of fatherly love, couldn’t help but release him from Azkaban when his dying wife begged him. Maybe not the best decision of his life… right?

The relationship between Tonks and Lupin

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the hero is focused on Draco Malfoy. However, another mystery hovers. Since the end of the previous school year (and Sirius’ death), Tonks has been different. Even his Patronus has changed, something Harry notices. He wonders if the young woman was not traumatized by the death of her cousin. It’s only at the end that we learn that the Auror was actually maintaining a secret love for Lupin, who preferred not to approach her due to his werewolf condition. Fortunately, the two lovebirds end up getting together, and even have a child, Teddy.

Salazar Slytherin’s Locket

This object, transformed into a Horcrux by Voldemort, is an ancient relic. It also belonged to Tom Riddle’s mother, since she was a direct descendant of the founder of the Slytherin house. When she was about to give birth, she sold him for a pittance to Barjow and Berk, in order to survive alone in London. The locket was then bought back by the collector, Hepzibah Smith, whom Voldemort later met and charmed. When he laid eyes on the object, the dark mage decided tomurder the old woman to recover what he felt was rightfully his. Dark story for this legacy of Salazar Slytherin.

Draco Malfoy’s Choice

The blond is the sworn enemy of Harry Potter. In the sixth installment, Draco Malfoy enlists with the Death Eaters, in order to protect his family bad choices of his father. He spends the year trying to assassinate Albus Dumbledore, only to ultimately fail to do so. Severus Snape will cast the fatal spell. But the biggest surprise, is that the Slytherin, even if he put a spoke in the wheels of the hero, did not want, in the end, his death. Surprising, when we discover the deep hatred that Draco has for Harry. Even Narcissa, Malfoy’s mother, protected the scarred wizard in the last battle. She indeed lied to Voldemort by declaring him dead. In any case, we can say that the character of the blond is complex and even misunderstood!
