Is it paranoia when you're right?
The Big Picture When it comes to Defense Against the Dark Arts, Hogwarts had a revolving door of visiting professors, with each new school year presenting a different teacher — mostly because Dumbledore was a troll who never let Snape live his dream. While some Defense Against the Dark Arts professors were underqualified, bad at their jobs, or just an evil Death Eater , other professors excelled and were able to teach, encourage, and support their students. One professor did both.
In particular, his lesson on Unforgivable Curses stands out. By demonstrating all three curses in front of the class, Barty Crouch Jr. showed the students firsthand just how serious they are. His sadistic side got the better of him when he singled out Neville while using the Cruciatus Curse in the middle of class, taking the lesson too far. But all in all, Unforgivable Curses were not taken lightly.
The first time Harry — and by extension the audience — sees the real Mad-Eye Moody, he’s lying at the bottom of a magical trunk, having been kidnapped and stowed away by Barty Crouch Jr. An off-screen kidnapping usually leaves a bad taste in the audience’s mouth, with implications that the character is too weak for their capture to even be note-worthy in the main course of the story. However, Moody’s reputation, as well as his future behaviors and actions, contradict this stereotype.
The Untapped Potential of Mad-Eye Moody Even more unfortunately, Mad-Eye doesn’t get much more page time after the events of The Goblet of Fire. He makes a brief appearance in the final book , The Deathly Hallows, for all of a few minutes during a mission to get Harry to safety. While serving as a distraction/task force against the Death Eaters, Mad-Eye was unceremoniously killed off page/screen. By the time Harry gets to his destination, he realizes he’ll never see Mad-Eye again.
