Did You Know This About The Death Of Wormtail In HARRY POTTER…

How he died was changed in the movies because Pettigrew’s book death was deemed too frightening for younger film-goers! In the book, Harry reminded Pettigrew of his life debt, making him hesitate. As Voldemort's creation, Pettigrew’s magical hand may have recognized that having a servant with a life debt to his worst enemy was a threat, which is why it strangled him - ironically saving Harry's life. On the other hand, Pettigrew’s death in the movie was nothing more than comic relief. He got hit with a spell by Dobby from the back, muttering a soft “ow” as he fell face-first.

Peter's death maybe a little bit too dark for younger film goers.
Hermione screaming at the top of her lungs because Bellatrix is seriously carving mud blood into her skin: eh, that's fine

[nahomidiaz]

Ugh well a giant snake piercing Harry’s skin wasn’t scary? Or idk, when Harry BURNED up professor quirrel with his hands 😂

[antipainK]

His death simply wasn't in the movies. Why would you think this was his death, smh.

[Swissswoosher]

“Peters death may have been a little to dark”
*Dobby stumbling with a knife through his chest*: ehh that’s fine

[ferretfather]

he wasnt actually killed in the movie...him saying ow was him basically being knocked out...though its been a while since ive seen it so that might not be true

[icecubexx]

Pettigrews death was to dark for younger children.

A giant plant able to choke you to death?

A dark wizard killing everyone he sees?

A kid being able to kill a bald weirdo by just touching his face?

[ooolalaaa]

Actually it wasn’t because the arm recognised Wormtail had a debt to Harry, it’s because when Harry said this to Womrtail, Peter hesitated for a second in killing Harry. The arm recognised this as a moment of weakness and betrayal, since Voldemort had made sure that the arm he gave Wormtail would force his loyalty to him, and Peter, aware of this, couldn’t and wouldn’t betray him out of fear for his life. That’s why it’s said that all four marauders died saving Harry’s life or fighting for him. James, cause duh, Sirius in ootp, Lupin during the battle of Hogwarts, and Peter because he saved Harry from dying at his expense.

I remember crying when i read it and then laughing when i watched it. I prefer the book bc i dont like the fact that dobby killed someone i always pretended he passed out and then was killed by voldy for letting them out

“Too scary for young kids”
Meanwhile: *Harry getting Jumpscared by his care for magical creatures book*

[jadevine]

To scary for younger viewers their joking right like the half blood prince when weird creatures came out of the water when Dumbledore was drinking the poisoned water to get the horcrux

[frogfell]

Someone being strangled by their hand: HOLD UP, too scary
Harry melting someone with his hand in the first movie: PERFECT

[silverknight]

Voldemort: I must be the one to kill Harry Potter, ONLY me

Also Voldemort, when Pettigrew doesn't kill Harry on his request:
bitch u dare

[LinkTheFusky]

hermione was getting her arm torn apart and in previous movies dumbledore was shouting "kill me" drinking a potion

[marshmello]

I didn’t even know Dobby killed Peter, I thought he just knocked him out

[garyking]

We’ve seen a Hogwarts professor literally turn into dust and ashes (HP1), Harry being stabbed with a giant snake fang, literally witnessing Cedric dying to the killing curse, watching Petigrew cut Harry’s arm at the graveyard, witnessing Harry nearly kill Malfoy in the bathroom, watching the death of Dumbledore, watching Hermione get tortured by Belatrix by carving Mudblood into her arm, and watching so many dead students and teachers at the Battle of Hogwarts including Fred, Lupin, Tonks, Lavender, Crabbe, and Snape (Fred, Lupin, Tonk, & Lavender to death eaters; Crabbe by being engulfed in flames, & Snape to being mauled by a snake). On top of that, we’ve even seen Hagrid being held hostage and possibly being tortured, Belatrix shatter into dust by Molly, and Voldemort flake out into dust. And yet, they were worried that Petigrew’s death would scare us?

[markmickman]

I theorized in the movie that he was paralyzed by Doby, then was killed by the death eaters because he let them escape

[juliasannicolas]

That's true. He actually dies by chocking himself with the magical hand Voldemort gave him. It was kinda sad.

[duncannicholls]

I think Wormtail was actually just knocked unconscious by Dobby in the movie and Voldemort killed him afterward for his failure

[namedhuman]

Anyone who thinks the self strangling wouldn't be scary for kids, imagine it.

His silver hand is wrapped around his throat. Peter is rasping, desperate to breath. He is other hand wrestling to save himself. He is dying and it is slow. He would take a while to die and as you read this, he is still struggling to survive. He good hand is getting weaker and the metal hand is still as strong as ever. His eyes bulge and eventually life leaves him, the metal hand still on his throat.

[LoonyTonks]

I actually think the “oW” was quite good actually
