This is one of my favourite parts of this movie, and it‘s one of my favourite parts of this book, too.

Linsy The ideas put into the slaying of a unicorn add so much depth. They didn't just kill a creature, they killed a pure and defenseless one. It makes a difference. And it draws a stark parallel between what Voldemort was trying to do that night when he tried to kill Harry. And just as in that case, there were consequences. (edited) 5y
GingerAntics @Linsy oh, I hadn‘t drawn those parallels. Harry was a pure, defenceless infant (6 month old?) and Tom tried to kill him. He basically destroyed his body. Same with the unicorn. Very philosophical. Very nice. I love that. 5y
