Big Question

Rating: 8/10 (8 April 2011)

If Sirius Black in fact was a friend of the Potters and did NOT betray them to Voldemort, why did he want to kill Harry? The scene where they all meet in the Shrieking Shack is so confusing: First we see Sirius about to kill Harry, but as soon as he and Lupin explain that Pettigrew is the real culprit, Sirius doesn't want to kill Harry anymore. Did anyone else have a problem with this? The same question must be asked about the book. It would have made sense if everyone THOUGHT Sirius had betrayed the Potters, which they did, but then when we meet Sirius, he explains that it was Pettigrew who was to blame and that he never wanted to kill Harry, that it just a rumor. All this said, I loved the film and all the others, too!
