Harry Potter
There ’s a common misconception surrounding James Potter ’s character created by theHarry Pottermovies , but HBO ’s coming remaking can coiffe the record straight . Since James fail before the events ofHarry Potter , details regarding his character were let on slow over meter . Harry had to learn about his father from people who recognise him , and this only begin to happen once he start school at Hogwarts . However , one of the first things Harry get a line about James in theHarry Pottermovies was actually incorrect and has led to a misconception that has now lasted decades .
The fact that Harry was a lot likeJames inHarry Potterwas a fundamental part of the story . At first , the Boy Who Lived took not bad pride in being tell how similar he was to his father . They had the same messy black hair and like ice , and those who saw Harry ’s face love precisely whose Word he was right aside . Like James , Harry also had a disposition to break the rules . EvenHarry ’s talent on a ling was often compared to that of James Potter . However , this is where the job lies . Even the most devotedHarry Potterfansmight say that Harry and James were both Gryffindor Seekers , but this was never really unfeigned .
James Potter Was Never The Gryffindor Seeker
James Potter Played Chaser For Gryffindor
When thePhilosopher ’s Stonemovie was released , James ' Quidditch office had yet to be revealed , so Chris Columbus made his guess . The idea that James was a Seeker has since become so solidified in audiences ' mind that it ’s almost like a Madela Effect — people will assert up and down that theHarry Potterbooks explicitly saidsomewherethat James and Harry play the same position . Of course , this only is n’t true , but the Good Book do subtly put up to the misconception .
Even The Harry Potter Books Contributed To The Chaser-Seeker Confusion
James Potter Plays With A Golden Snitch In The Harry Potter Books
While theHarry Potterbooks never explicitly order that James was a Seeker , one moment in particular has only added to the discombobulation . InHarry Potter and the club of the Phoenix , Harry ended up inside Severus Snape ’s memory when he surreptitiously slipped into the Pensieve . When he did , he saw James , Sirius , Remus , and Peter during their 5th year , enjoying a overnice daylight outside conform to their O.W.L. examinations . James was somewhat insufferable throughout the intact scene , going out of his way to muss up his hair and run with a Golden Snitch he stole from the Quidditch supplying shed .
The fact thatJames chose to show off by unloosen and catching a Golden Snitchon theHogwarts schoolgrounds reinforce the approximation that he had been a Seeker . However , once again , this is never explicitly stated . James was a mischief-maker who did thing just to say he could , so he would n’t have needed to be a Seeker to slip a Golden Snitch . to boot , as a talented Quidditch actor , James likely could have stood in for any of the team ’s position ( like Ginny did inHarry Potter).So , while James was a Chaser , he could still wield a Snitch well enough .
Why It’s Important That HBO’s Remake Fix James' Quidditch Position Problem
The Similarities & Differences Between Harry & James Have Meaning
While James Quidditch ’s position is a fun fact that could trip up even some of the most dedicatedHarry Potterfans , this contingent carries some subtle implication . Harry may have a lot in mutual with James , buta decisive part of his character arc is realizing that he wants to be better than his father . James was arch and talented but could also be brutal and serious . Much of what Snape tell about Harry ’s father turned out to be right , give the male child grappling with his own identity . They were standardised , but it was important that everyone accept that Harry was n’t James .
The similarity between these graphic symbol are indispensable , but their remainder are even more critical .
Though it was only revealed after the fact , Harry and James playing different berth in Quidditch is a subtle part of this . The law of similarity between these characters are essential , but their differences are even more critical . For this reason , it ’s significant thatHBO ’s upcomingHarry Potterremakerestore James ' status as a Chaser . The series can even lean further into this differentiationsince the Book themselves never fully acknowledge it . Not only would this end thisHarry Pottermisconception , but it would take further balance to the moral force between these characters .
