To be clear, the guy in the gif is Mr. Straight and Narrow. His brother is the Rebel With a Cause. But Mr. Straight and Narrow has a lovely (if heartbreaking) character arc in the second movie, much like Percy Weasley's arc throughout the book series.
I love the new films. The second one was a mess in terms of narrative structure, but the characters are great. It's worth watching for Jude Law as Dumbledore, if nothing else. He embodies Dumbledore's quirky, cocky rebel spirit as no one else has IMO. And shows us a Dumbledore secretly plagued by guilty nostalgia and remorse. Jude Law got that tightrope walk *just right*.
I think all of us went to town on our college textbooks, LOL!
You know Sprout was growing the good stuff! :D What I love about Cedric is that he was popular, handsome, a champion, etc., and it could have easily gone to his head, but he was so modest and down-to-earth about it. Quite the contrast to his father!
