By the time a capable wizard (Dumbledore) was on the scene, Hermione was dead.

I doubt there's anything unicorn blood can do that phoenix tears can't, so.

I'd think that unicorn blood has unique properties on phoenix tears.

Otherwise Quirrel would be tracking down Phoenixes and... showing them the first 5 minutes of 'Up' or something.

Yes. "Up" was a fairly good movie, but it doesn't hold a candle to the short film that constituted its first 5 or 10 minutes. That should have won an Oscar.

I prefer the original audio, but that might be too much to hope to find on YouTube.

I could rewatch Up, except that doing so would require rewatching the first ten minutes.

And I can't do that.

I know that you're probably not serious but … you can always skip that part. You already remember what happens.
