  Yeah but the movies specifically frame it more as “the ministry has been infiltrated” and less as “Harry, your story is shady af”

    The movies also frames Dumbledore as a hard boiled unhinged detective who slams people against walls and shakes them down for information, whereas the book totally missed out on that great aspect of his personality. Swings and roundabouts

      Definitely, Dumbledore is much better in the movies. I think the books overexplore his relationship with Voldemort and he comes off a bit daft. All of his interactions with Voldemort are like:

      Voldemort: Genocide is cool, right? Dumbledore: No, it isn’t V: You’re right. Anyway, theoretically, how can I become more stronger? D: Are you gonna do a genocide? V: high pitched Whaaaaat…?! Naaaaaaaah! I would never do that! D: Ok, here’s how you become more powerful…

    It’s been a long time, but I very much remember it being played as the powers that be are simply afraid to acknowledge that V is back. They do attack Harry’s story some to help justify keeping their heads in the sand, but that didn’t seem like the point to me.
