That half a minute between Fred and George is just too painful...

In the Order of the Phoenix, when Molly is dealing with the Boggart, the Boggart turns into her children...dead. It's her greatest fear. However, when the Boggart showed the twins, it showed them together. Meaning that even in Molly's worst fears, she never imagined them separated :-(

It’s literally because during Neville’s speech, it flashes to George when Neville says “And Fred, Remus, Tonks.” The look on George’s face in that moment broke me. You could see how much pain he was filled with when his other half…

died.

Oh yeah! And the “Mooooooooorning” scene

Not sure if I agree with Crouch Jr since most of the time, he is in the guise of Mad-Eye Moody. Wouldn't it be appropriate to accept both?

Just watched this one with the eldest, gotta agree with you. David Tennant has about 3 lines

I agree. "Screen time" means visible on screen, and Mad Eye is the one that's seen throughout GoF.

Yes he looks like madeye but the character is not madeye, the character is barty crouch. Just because its not david tennant doesn't mean the character isn't barty crouch

Level 67
Jul 31, 2022
Then that would mean in this quiz, whenever a character is using polyjuice potion, the screen time would count towards the actual character, not the character seen on screen (e.g.--when Harry and Ron use polyjuice potion to disguise themselves as Crabbe and Goyle in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, it would still count as Harry and Ron's screen time, not Crabbe and Goyle's screen time), correct?
+2
Level 48
Apr 8, 2023
In the credits, it says Alastor "Mad Eye" Moody was played by Brendan O'Gleeson and Barty Crouch Jr was played by David Tennant. Similarly in Chamber of Secrets Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint are the only people credited as playing Harry and Ron respectively and in Deathly Hallows Daniel Radcliffe is not credited as being Fred, George, Hermione etc in certain scenes and only Emma Watson is credited as having played Hermione, even though in some scenes they were played by other people due to the characters adopting another identity. None of the films say played by actor A when not using Polyjuice Potion, played by actor B when using Polyjuice Potion.

You don't understand what I'm saying. When you make a quiz like this, you need to be consistent and choose if the screen time represents the actor on screen or the character using the polyjuice potion. For example, you can't say all of Barty Crouch Junior's screen time disguised as Alastor Moody contributes to Barty Crouch Junior's screen time while saying each character disguised as Harry Potter in the battle of the seven Potters contributes to Harry Potter's screen time.

Also, if you were judging specifically by credits, you have to keep in mind multiple actors have played the same character in some situations (e.g.--Richard Harris played Albus Dumbledore in the first two movies while Michael Gambon played Albus Dumbledore for the rest of the series).

You ought to accept "moody" for crouch.... he looks like moody, after all, during about 14 of the 16 minutes

HOW DID I FORGET DOBBY!? And are animals not being counted as characters, because if not then I don't see why Hedwig isn't on here.

Level 75
Nov 13, 2017
I should be forced to wear a dirty tea towel for forgetting about house elves. Agree, thought Hedwig would be here, and surprised to see Vernon but not Petunia or Duddykins.

Level 67
Jun 1, 2022
Do animal forms of characters count towards a character's screen time (e.g.--all of the screen time when Peter Pettigrew was Scabbers, Sirius Black was a dog, or Remus Lupin was a werewolf)?

I can't believe I forgot Luna. She's one of my favorite characters.

Hard to believe Mad Eye Moody got less than 10 minutes!

Level 66
Nov 15, 2017
It depends. Most of his screen time is counted as Crouch Jr's here.

Level 36
Nov 17, 2017
If you count Moody's screen time as Crouch's, then shouldn't you count Peter Pettigrew's time as Scabbers?

Level 48
Oct 7, 2021
Petter Pettigrew has 8:15 of screentime, 3:15 of those are "Scabbers".

I refuse to believe that this is correct - how is Molly Weasley not on this list?

Molly Weasley has only 8:00 of screentime.

but where's Filch? Though he's only a minor character, he appears in basically every movie doing something
+2
Level 75
Jan 27, 2019
Surprised Barfy Jr has more screen time than Filch unless, as others have said, they are counting his time when he polyjuiced into Madeye. I suppose even when he was Madeye the character was still Crouch Jr.
+6
Level 75
Jan 27, 2019
I just looked it up myself and Filch has less than seven minutes total in all the films. He didn't appear at all in Death Hallows Part 1. It's such a memorable character, I suppose it just seems he's there more often. David Bradley is a wonderful actor.

Don't really understand how they accept 'Lupin' but not 'Malfoy'...

Level 37
Jun 12, 2019
Because both draco malfoy and lucius malfoy are answers

Level 76
Apr 29, 2020
I agree, given that they call him 'Malfoy' most of the time it should definitely be accepted

Feb 19, 2020
Shouldn’t “Tom Riddle” be accepted for Voldemort? I mean, Voldemort is just a made up name by Tom riddle, the name “Voldemort” is an anagram.

Level 89
Apr 29, 2020
Tom Riddle is accepted.

Whoever spent their time measuring the screen time for harry potter characters, you must have been very bored

Got Lockhart last couple of seconds as a wild guess, really surprised me. Not Filch, not Myrtle, not Mrs. Weasley... Lockhart.

Hard to believe that Horace Slughorn got so much screen time. I didn't even remember the character

An essential character in the Half-Blood Prince.

Level 67
May 16, 2022
Are you sure about Lockhart? Sure, you see him often in Chamber of Secrets, but after that you never see him again. There are so many other characters you see less often in a single movie, but if you add up the total screen time in all the movies they appeared in, wouldn't their screen time be greater than Lockhart's?
+1
Level 74
Aug 17, 2022
The full first name of Barty Crouch Jr. is Bartemius. Would be nice if you'd accept it as well.

Jan 11, 2023
I'm surprised that Sirius is on the list, considering he was only in the 3rd-5th movies, and he disappeared for most of the 4th.

Also, how did Bellatrix get the same time as Lockhart, and only 10:30??

If the cut-off had been two minutes lower, we would have picked up Molly Weasley, along with Dudley Dursley, Seamus Finnegan, Cornelius Fudge, and the flying Ford Anglia.

peter pettigrew should be on there, since he was present in most the films as the rat
