12. Abusive Snape

Manhandling was not allowed in Hogwarts and that was mentioned throughout the seven books. But movies choose otherwise. To create a more realistic effect we see two instances where Snape hits Harry and Ron. First, in the fourth movie he hits Harry and Ron multiple times as they were busy discussing their Yule Ball dates in a class. Second, in the fifth film, he casually smacks Ron in the head with a book for laughing during Snape’s evaluation by Umbridge. Quite a school-like effect.
