Harry talks bout his father rescuing him at the lake when he was with Sirius. In the movie, he was NEVER told that his father was nicknamed Prongs, that he was an Animagus and that he had the shape of a deer. Logically, everyone could have rescued Harry, so why does he think of his father?

I'll be light on you since you're new, and we LOVE new people! (Welcome!!) :flowersmile:

But I have to ask, Did you really read the book? And were you paying attention in the movie?

Because the reason he says he was rescued by his father was because he "saw" him. At least he thought it was him. It was really himself he saw. He thought the Harry back-in-time across the lake (calling the patronus) was his dad. He thought that because everybody tells him he looks just like his dad. It's that simple.

And to those that think, "Well this is just one guy. Lots of other people were sure to be confused." I can only say this: The whole point of this story is to show that normal people - who know movies - will get it. Without having to read the books. Without having it explained to them. They'll get it because it works as a film.
