Dumbledore at the end is like Hermione: "Stop, stop, stop! You're going to take someone's eye out! Besides, you're saying it wrong. It's: SIILLLLEEEENNCEE!!!!, not Silence!"
I kind of have a Snape at work: my boss. That's why I only interact with her with there are costumers nearby. She's not likely to be firm or stern when there are the "dear" witnesses she enjoys being nice to.
Everyone: “Snape said calmly* Me: Hehe Snape’s legit pointing at Ron and Harry like “MOOOMMMMM THEY FLOUTED THE DECREE FOR THE RESTRICTION OF UNDERAGE WIZARDRYYYY!!!”
@@alberto3071 How it goes in the book: "Well, you're expelling us, aren't you?" said Ron. "Not today, Mr Weasley", said Dumbledore. "But I must impress upon both of you the seriousness of what you have done. I will be writing to both your families tonight. I must also warn you that if you do anything like this again, I will have no choice but to expel you." Snape looked as though Christmas had been cancelled. He cleared his throat and said, "Professor Dumbledore, these boys have flouted the Decree for the Restriction of Underage Wizardry, caused serious damage to an old and valuable tree...surely acts of this nature ..." "It will be for Professor McGonagall to decide on these boys' punishments, Severus, " said Dumbledore calmly. "They are in her house and are therefore her responsibility." He turned to Professor McGonagall. "I must go back to the feast, Minerva, I've got to give out a few notices. Come Severus, there's a delicious-looking custard tart I want to sample." Snape shot a look of pure venom at Harry and Ron as he allowed himself to be swept out of his office, leaving them alone with Professor McGonall. I don't see a huge difference between the book and the movie. Both times Snape thinks they should be expelled but is silenced by Dumbledore and Snape doesn't argue any further.
Harry had to sign Lockhart's fanmail and Ron had to scrub the trophy room top to bottom, I'd say that's good punishment. Esp signing Lockhart's mail, that would be cringe af lol
