Sirius Black may have always been kind in the Harry Potter movies, but a moment of downright cruelty from the books was cut. Harry saw his godfather as a mix of a father figure and a brother, and was always eager for Black’s advice and approval. Still, a few times in the books, Sirius proved that he might not have been entirely worthy of such admiration. Sirius Black’s behavior could be shocking in Harry Potter canon, but it helped develop Harry’s godfather into a far more interesting, albeit slightly problematic, character.
