Harry Potter's Biggest Controversies, Ranked. The Harry Potterseries has come under some serious fire over everything from religion to copy write issues. Whether found in the books and films themselves or in the fan culture surrounding them, most these controversies usually stem from people’s beliefs and preferences that they bring to the series rather than anything really wrong with the series itself.

The controversial selection of Ginny Weasley as Harry Potter’s wife, for example, was criticized by many fans as a “Mary Sue” choice, while others point to clear reasons why Ginny and Harry made a smart match. Others argued that Hermione Granger would have been a better choice, something that J. K. Rowling has alluded to on occasion herself. There will always be debate and even outrage over decisions like Albus Dumbledore leaving Harry to live with his aunt and uncle, film casting choices, how Potter managed to survive the final book of the series (and whether or not he should have lived), whether Neville Longbottom was truly the Chosen One or not and dozens of other hotly contested pieces of the Potterverse, which only points at how deeply beloved the series is among fans. At the tip of the iceberg stand these 1. Most Controversial Things About Harry Potter, Ranked. Deathly Hallows Nude Scene.

Depicting nude teenagers is always going to be a controversial move, and when Ron Weasley’s worst nightmare manifested in front of his eyes during Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1, plenty of parents clutched their pearls and covered their kids’ eyes in horror. The scene in question depicts Harry and Hermione in a passionate, nude embrace; it’s not real, nor does it show any body parts. It’s a corrupted vision courtesy of a horcrux, but it still rendered both Ron, and audiences, speechless. Of course, while Ron took action and destroyed the tainted locket responsible for his vision, offended audience members simply complained about it on social media and threatened to boycott the next film. It’s always funny to see how so many parents don’t mind their kids witnessing violent death, blood, gore and cruelty, but God forbid they catch sight of half of a boob! When interviewed about the scene, Emma Watson made it clear that she and Daniel Radcliffe were far from naked during the “topless kiss,” as so many like to call it.

Watson, in fact, had a strapless bra on during the whole time. Both, of course, also wore pants during filming. Michael Gambon Refusing To Read The Book. Michael Gambon as Dumbledore is still considered one of the most controversial casting decisions in the Harry Potter films, but there are multiple reasons why. His gruff, unsmiling portrayal is pretty much the opposite of the eye- twinkling, sneaky joke- telling, compassionate Dumbledore that readers know and love. He’s also the opposite of Richard Harris, who unfortunately died before being able to continue with the role.

Harris both looked and played the part more accurately toward the book and likely would not have demanded, “Did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire!” the way Gambon so uncharacteristically did in the titular film. That one scream turned a lot of fans away from Gambon’s Dumbledore alone. It explicitly says that he asked the question calmly in the book, and most of Dumbledore’s actions come from a level- headed brilliance. But one of the biggest things that fans hated about Gambon was his simple refusal to read the books. He claimed that there was no point, and that as an actor, you just go by the script. Had he actually done any investigation into the book’s character (as many actors do) he may have made the Dumbledore that fans know and love come alive much better.

Molly Weasley’s “Not My Daughter” Scream. Molly Weasley has seen some horror in her life. From losing family members in the First Wizarding War to witnessing Bill Weasley’s attack at the hands of werewolf Fenrir Greyback to losing a child during the Second Wizarding War, she has borne more sorrow than any mother should have to bear. When she almost lost Ginny to Bellatrix Lestrange, it was too much. Molly screamed, “Not my daughter, you bitch!” and took out the Death Eater. The fact that Molly could dispatch Lestrange so quickly after Lestrange had murdered an Auror (Nymphadora Tonks) is debatable; a mother’s wrath can definitely cause some damage, after all. The real controversy with this scene is how Julie Walters portrayed it on screen.

She’d just lost a son and several friends. She’s in the middle of a massive battle. She’s not going to grin and gloat after murdering someone. She’s Molly Weasley! Her expression should have been one of grim exhaustion or grief, not of triumph.

She would not relish in taking a life, no matter whose it was. She takes it out of necessity, not pleasure. The fact that Walters’ expression seemed more like one that Bellatrix herself would have displayed simply ruined a scene that fans loved from the book. Ron And Hermione’s Marriage. A wide variety of shippers make up the Harry Potter fan base, but two main camps emerged following the books’ publication: Ron- Hermione fans and Harry- Hermione supporters. While there are some pretty obvious clues throughout the books that hint at Ron and Hermione’s eventual relationship, it is their marriage that baffles fans. The two are simply so different that many fans don’t think their marriage could last.

Rowling herself has even insinuated they wouldn’t be happy together forever because Ron would not be able to really challenge his wife and meet her intellectual needs, but then again, she said that just before the publication of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Those who’ve read or seen the play know that their relationship is a big part of the work, and when portrayed as unmarried to one another, neither was happy at all.

The repair of their relationship was considered one of the big problems resolved, indicating that Rowling may have only mentioned their potential unhappiness as a clue regarding the play. Inclusion Of Christian Values. One of the ideological claims made about the Harry Potter books is that they are too Christian. Rowling, a Christian herself, affirms that there are Christian sentiments expressed in the book since she attended a Church of Scotland while writing them. The morals included in the story, she says, have always been rooted in Christian teachings, and she has never tried to hide this. Authors typically include much of what they already know and believe in their books and it shouldn’t come as surprising to any readers.

Of course, Rowling’s Christian beliefs, which seem to revolve around loving your neighbor, accepting everyone as they are, helping people who need it, and celebrating the Golden Rule, are a far cry from some evangelical beliefs. This is why people have also cried foul over the books not being religious enough or promoting witchcraft, but more about that later. The Leaked Final Book. If you want to enrage a die- hard fan, threaten to give them one thing: spoilers.

This is especially true for book readers who live for the payoff at the end of the book. This is not to say that there are a few readers who prefer to skip ahead, or that TV and movie viewers love spoilers, but it can be a deal breaker for a bibliophile. So when the final pages of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows were released online, “rabidly furious” would have been an understatement to describe fans.

While the Internet had existed well before the book’s release, it was the first time that most homes had access to the web, making it much easier to leak the information. Today there are many more cases of books being stripped and used online to read freely and completely, resulting in a loss for both publishers and authors. There were also plenty of controversial instances of people reading the end of the book aloud, whether on the web or in person at book stores during release parties. Snape Killing Dumbledore.
