The Life Of James Potter 

James Potter was a Chaser! He was not a seeker! It was changed to seeker for the movie..he was in fact a chaser!

James is like Draco without death eater parents and being a Slytherin . Example: when James was young he bullied people and was a brat , like Draco but , when he grew up he was a great man . Like Draco

RIP James Potter 1960-1981

I feel bad for James, he died so young. Even Harry himself outlived him. Including his wife Lily.

As far as i know james had not boasted to vernon..Vernon being him boasted of his car and asked him his model..james politely with a smile informed him that they do not use cars..rather they use brooms and apparitions..the idiot thought he was being mocked by him at his own table. Outraged he took petunia and left them there..lily was deeply upset and she knew it was no fault of james either..he later promised that he will make it up in future..but it did not happen

James was a hero, he and Sirius may have started out as bullies: but they died as heroes: they may not have redeemed themselves in Snapes eyes: but I beg to differ: there true characters were brave men who would do anything for the people around them, even for there enemies

James's mother at 0:45 looks like Jasmine from Disney's Aladdin.

we shouldn't say 'always' we should say 'take harry and run!' as that's an example of true love, not obsessive love.

James potter is so misunderstood and he is also one of my favorite characters

Barty Crouch Jr. was a Ravenclaw Death Eater. The dude was insanely crazy smart. He was the only character in Harry Potter able to outsmart DUMBLEDORE!!!!! He was able to OUTSMART THE GOBLET OF FIRE!!!! He was the best Defence of the Dark Arts teacher and he was just pretending. In fact here is a quote by Voldemort just showing Barty Crouch Jr’s Ravenclaw pride: "*Wormtail, I need somebody with brains, somebody whose loyalty has never been wavered, and you, unfortunately, fulfil neither requirement.*" - Voldemort. Barty Crouch Jr. is the only known and confirmed Ravenclaw Death Eater. Barty Crouch Jr. was the Brains of the Death Eaters.

Oh I was so looking forward to the story about James Potter. Snape took his hatred of James Potter and put it on Harry, which was so unfair to Harry Potter. Harry was sometimes like his father, but he was like his mother also. Harry was mortified about his father bullying Snape when he saw Snape's memories. James was a good father and he must be so proud of Harry. His son had to go through too much as a child never should have had to go through.

I think it’s so cute how Harry named his children after the ppl he loved! 🥰😊

Personally I love James Potter, and I like him and Lilly better. Snape kinda just got obsessed. And I kinda have a tiny character crush on James Potter :| ;)

RIP JAMES POTTER

Okay, so mistake #1 is that they never insulted Snape on the train, Snape sort of insulted them... so like Sirius, James and Severus were in the same train compartment and the two were talking about which house they wanted to be in. Sirius and James both said Gryffindor and stuff then Severus said he wants to be in Slytherin because he prefers brains over brawn and James and Sirius felt insulted. Mistake #2 Yes, James bullied Snape, but Snape didn't cower in fear or cry, he usually hexes back. Sometimes he brings his young Death Eater Crew. Think of it as a duel.

Please do "What if Remus Lupin was never bitten by a werewolf?"

Prongs is #Always a hero in my book. Do Lily Potter next. Thanks for your videos. #HPFOREVER ⚡🎬📚

I have a video suggestion: What if James had made peace with Snape or at least tried to while they were still in school

I tend to think what would have happened if James was nice to Snape. I wonder if he would have protected Harry because Snape liked James, not because he owed him. I definitely think if it wasn't for Lilly's death, he would have been a very dark wizard and not loyal to Dumbledore. Anyone else?

James is a big part because if he didn’t block Voldemort, Harry would be dead

It really hurts me how people just consider James Potter a bully and disgusting person when he is so much more! I feel like like even if it is a fictional character or a real person, our duty as a human is to look good in everybody! Please don't hate James, I really love him ❤️

I love this video! James Potter is my fav character and I think he is really misunderstood, underrated and underappreciated! Thanks for making this video. I enjoyed how you presented everything and I love that he's one of your fav characters as well! ❤️

James was a jerk as a kid but made it up when he tried to defend his wife and child even though he had no wand on him he still tried to help them get out and safe that's saying something to me❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

If it weren’t for that horrid Peter Pettigrew, none of this would have happened. Honestly, what a coward. Always looking out for his own neck. He only wanted to be a part of The Marauders because he wanted the popularity and so he could hide behind Sirius and James. He was the stupidest of their group, James and Sirius always outshining him and he deserved it, hateful coward that he is. How did he even get into Gryffindor? He’s a coward. Period.

I remember when you first started this channel. I loved your videos then, but I love them even more now. Thank you for all your hard work. You’re an amazing creator!

I ended up crying while I am listening , James .. what an amazing character !

Thank you so much for doing this video man. I love that you do "the life of" on the lesser known characters not just the one's in the spotlight. your video's are top of the line.

Nice love the music really sets the mood for the story line.great work young man

James is one of the best and most misunderstood characters!!!

Well done! Another jewel in the crown that is your gleaming kingly RU-vid channel. I must say I’ve gotten tired of the Star Wars channels but somehow you keep Harry Potter fresh and deep. Good on you and many happy returns! Sincerely a fan

Dean you've really done it this time!!! Well done!!! All your videos are so detailed. Shows that you really care about HP. You Movieflame are my faves.

I believe we all have come to love these characters because of their incredibly deep backstory that makes up their motivations, feelings and relathionships between one another. My appreciation for them comes from their humanity and realism, from their flaws and mistakes that have forged their personality and taught them to truly express love as they grew older. James and Severus, among others, are the best example of maturing in the understanding of love culminated eventually in their sacrifices. They encourage me to be myself and incarnate the most important values to always grow as a human being. I love seeing through comments how many people have been positively affected by Jo Rowling's books, too.

That was an awesome video I'm glad you did one for James

‘ He may have begun as a bully but certainly ended being a hero ‘ like your videos couldn’t get better. For one I totally agree, and secondly your children (if you want some) are going to be so lucky because holy cinnamon candy your story telling skills are SPOT ON

Thank you very much sir. Every time I hear the Harry Potter music, I'm emotional. You are doing a great job by continuing this Harry Potter journey.

This channel is really the best place to find info about hp. It is also really fun to watch. Love your vids

James Potter is so Underrated

The art is getting better and better, as well as the videos of course.

I love these videos I already know a lot about HP characters but these videos actually give me more info on the characters I love thanks for making this channel.

Hello Dean. Further greeting from Alabama USA. I love this video, and like you, James was one of my favorite of the characters that died young. His final action shows that how a person starts out can be far different from how they finish. I hope to be able to help you out on the issue of the position James played on the Quidditch team. The movies wrongly had James' name on the plaque in the trophy room as a seeker, which, when added to the scene of him playing with the snitch, gave ONLY movie viewers the wrong impression. The books never state his position, only that he was a great player. JKR tried to clearify this later on by specifying he was a chaser. This is the point at which it becomes Canon. Also, from the pensive scene, when asked where he got that snitch, he replies, "I nicked it," which is he took (stole) it. Seekers would WIN the snitch to finish the game, (Harry did this several times throughout his years there), thereby being able to keep the snitch rightfully. James' confession of "nicked" is a pretty fair indicator that he did not WIN the snitch as would have been the case IF he was a seeker. This issue has come up many times in comments on your channel and others, as well as in chat forums. It probably isn't gone for good though LOL. Great job Dean!!!!! You rock!!!!!

Yet another awesome video.. keep it up!! thank you!!

this is so good , it is amazing how you get your information about everything about Harry Potter like you wrote the whole thing yourself

I love these videos. They are helpful for understanding the wizarding world Thank you for making them ⚡️

Another awesome video! Thanks for putting in the hard work so we all can enjoy and I always learn something new. 😘

Another awesome video.

I always get a bit sad when hearing about James and Lily's lives. Great video Dean!

Saw this going out to school wasn't happy I had to wait lol. I love James and the marauders I find them amazing characters. Great video Dean

YASSSSS PROOOONNNGGGSSS

Amazing Dean as always

Do life of Ginny Weasley

I love James thanks so much for making this vid possible!

Woah video after video I'm struggling to keep up with all of them GREAT VIDEO :D

Omg that’s so much love your vids ❤️❤️❤️

Love your videos always make my day!!!!!

Awesome videos I love Harry Potter but not as much as your videos are content thanks for making people happy

I hate it when people say that James is nothing but a bully and romanticize snape. James is shown bullying snape on one occasion (which is horrible of course) but despite saying it's just for being him there's a lot of backstory with Snape calling him dumb the day he met him, targeting his friend because of his illness (lycanthropy) and constantly trying to expose him and therefore stalking his group of friends (the marauders), targeting and bullying muggleborns and joining the proto death eaters, not to mention that he continues bullying Students his entire life and abusing his position in power to do so. If there ever was a true bully, boy is snape one. James has faults and the pensive scene shows him at his worst but he's redeemed himself as a bully whereas snape continued bullying his entire life. Snape also didn't care if Lily's husband and son died as long as she was spared and if it weren't for Lily and Neville had been the Chosen One he would have never went to Dumbledore at all. He's a dark grey character imo one good deed does not equal a good person.

Before Snape bullied Harry throughtout the school years, no doubt he was thinking "James Potter might be gone, but revenge is a dish better served, to his son"

I never understood why Snape just had to have Lily so he went through all his Hogwarts years and never tried to be nice to another girl. Lily wanted friendship not to date him and he got mad at her for it. James may have been an arrogant toerag but Lily liked him he wasn't chasing a fantasy cooked up in his own head she found the good in him and they got together then eventually married. Snape is the example of "If I can't have you no one can." He was obsessive and took it out on her child who didn't ask to be born let alone be the face of a war that killed his parents and then be basically trained for a war he technically died in anyway. Being brought back to life does not change the fact Dumbledore failed him. And then Snape was an ass to him every year since he stepped foot in the castle. Double agent or not he took the dark mark and only came to regret it cuz he know he helped kill Lily, whether it was intentional or not, all cuz she fell in love with someone else. I personally think he's crazy but I do respect him for looking after Harry at times even though he and every other adult in the story failed him (except Sirius, Tonks, Remus, Minnie, the Weasley's, and a few other people).

Your voice is calming and with the music is it amazing to watch before sleeping

Lit video today keep it up your doing amazing job

I wish James had a sibling so Harry potter could live with them instead of the dursleys

That's actually really nice the James, Peter, and Sirius decided to become animagus to assist Remus with his transformations into a werewolf.

Thanks for this video! James Potter and Snape are my two favourite characters.

Yes!! I’m so happy you done this video. Keep up the good work. Your Inspiration.

thanks again for making such a great video..pls do another on " how powerful was lily potter?" she was one of the brightest witch in her time..favourites of both slughorn and flitwick being exceptional in potions and charms especially..and we all know she wandlessly used the magic of love to save harry from the killing curse which no one has done ever..

I liked the video, but James "spending much of his academic career chasing after Lily" is fanon not canon. He fancied Lily at least by fifth year, but as far as canon is concerned that's the only time James asked her out, lily seemed oblivious to james' crush on her when snape mentioned it as well.

Yay! I waited for this ❤️

LOVE YOUR VIDS, PLEASE KEEP IT UP!!!

10:28 I just gotta get something off my chest. The scar was LITERALLY described in the *book* like a *cut* on Harry’s forehead. Not a tangled mess of lightning. It was cut into his head in the shape of the killing curse, Avada Kedavera. Thank you for coming to my Potter talk.

What I love about Snape is that you can’t call him good or evil. He constantly bullied his students, he told Hermione that he saw no difference in her teeth when Draco hexed them. He was Neville’s boggart for Merlin’s sake. He was the thing Neville feared the most instead of someone who was supposed to make him feel safe! Yet you can’t say he was evil because despite hating Remus Lupin he made the Wolfsbane potion for him and constantly put himself in danger to protect Harry, Lily’s son. The twist is that he never did this because he actually cared for Harry, as shown by his constantly bullying and reminder of James, but because he loved Lily and ultimately died for her and her son’s sake.

Hi dean been watching for so long love you so good

Amazing video as always 💙💙💙💙

Great video Great effort Great information Can you do the life of the Dursley please

great vid

Great video DEAN!!!

The background music and the intro killed me completely. How could you add something like this?!? **cries in POTTERHEAD fluently**

I absolutely love James, Sirius and lily both as individual characters and their relationship with each other.

Love it

Your videos are always amazing man!

I'm late but this is Beautiful work u are one hell of a story teller mate.

you say he was a bully to snape..but snape exactly was not a little puppet..he was in a slytherin gang in which all of them joined voldemort..if we try to understand the situation during their hogwarts years we will know that voldemort was in his prime at that time marked by countless disappearances and killings..it can be easily assumed that those slytherins clearly were enjoying the situation..it was natural for james and the other marauders to stand up against them..even snape saw other muggleborns as scum except of course lily since he was in love with her..same is in the case of his other friends..another fact that heightened the rivalry between james and snape is i think snape always feared that lily will be impressed by him one day..and it eventually happened as james was able to show his mature side to her during his 6th and 7th year..he must have changed himself in sixth year..otherwise dumbledore wont give him the head boy position..that was the last straw for snape as he finally resolved to join the dark lord..the rest is known to all of us..

1k likes and only posted yesterday I’m not the only 1 who likes ur vids!!!

Nice one,Dean!

I love this! Love you.

Can you do the life of Umbridge, explain how the broomsticks in HP work, or how all the families are related to the Blacks by marriage? Your videos are awesome, detailed, and very informative. Thank you so much!

One of my favourite characters 💖

Finally a video on James Potter 😃 my personal favorite character.

loved this one!

you are my mentor :)

Okay but why does everyone ignore the fact that Snape was the one who literally told voldy about the prophecy? He is at fault for his actions and has partial fault in the death of Lily Potter

Wow great vid

I could listen to you for hours man (y)

I was sorted into Slytherin by Pottermore but i would pick James over Snape everytime. James was such a caring person and somehow i can understand why he was picking up on Snape. If I would have a Nazi guy at my school, i would try to make his life miserable too... And thats what James was doing. Deatheaters resemble Nazis in their muggle hating and pure blood talking.

The pic reminds me of Garrett from Shane Dawson's channel.

Another epic video Yay

Love this💕

I know this seems unneeded but I think you should do the life of Hermione Granger just because it would be intresting to know what her muggle life was before the Hogwarts letter

We've got a video on Moony. We got a video on Padfoot. And now we got one on Peongs. Can you complete the Mauraders collection with a video on Wormtail?

Brilliant Video Dean, keep up the great work. 👍🏻 Y.N.W.A

Nicely done. I enjoy all your videos.
