6:59 "Everybody shut the hell up, because Harry Potter here killed one of the teachers with his bare hands." I really like how this is phrased. It makes it seem like Dumbledore is more focused with how awesome it was rather than Harry being heroic.
"Hey uh, voldy, which of the Unforgivable Curses should I teach the sixth years about on Thursday?" "...Are you seriously asking me that?" "I.. yes." "You do realize that once Pettigrew returns to me, I can kill you in 20 different ways. I'm the Dark Lord, not a teacher." "..." "...Cruciatus curse."
Only in Gryffindor, killing a teacher would give you a lot of points. I've always thought of Dumbledore acting like Gryffindor's Snape when he was a teacher.
My favorite thing about Hogwarts is that the whole series I was thinking at the end all the houses were going to come together but....nope, Slytherins are just all irredeemably evil. And the teachers know this. And they teach them magic anyway.
This was my one gripe with the closing. Rowling kinda showed this split-off with Snape, Slughorn and Draco (though none of their history are clean) but never really applied it to the entire house. Only during a random interview she explicitly stated that Slughorn brought some Slytherins along to help but it would've been much better to have seen/read this when it was happening
@@FirebirdPrince And to be fair to the Slytherin students, it really doesn't make a ton of sense for them to help defend Hogwarts considering how many of their parents are on the other side. Why should they fight a hopeless battle against their own families? There's a reason Aberforth suggesting holding them hostage instead.
I always wondered: since the kids already knew before the sorting, that "There's not a witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin.", what are you supposed to do, when you are put there? It's like, let's foster that child into actually turning bad, since the roots are already there. No need to work against it and prevent future Voldemorts to develop.
Yeah, sometimes I feel like Snape hated James so much because he wanted to protect Lily's innocence, sort of like a protective brother. This is why James' Patronus is a stag and Snape's is another doe. Does are a symbol of innocence and they aren't sexualy attracted to other does. I know people think Snape was obsessed with Lily and she got "friendzoned" but I really think all he wanted was to be her friend. I mean, Sirius seemed pretty obsessed with James too, and they were also childhood best friends
@@aceash459 That's..... actually *_worse_* than Snape being sexually attracted to Lily and jealous that she chose James. That implies that Snape sees Lily more as an object than as an actual person, an object that he feels he should have control over, what with your idea that he wanted to prevent her from "losing her innocence". It also suggests some pretty messed up, misogynistic views on female sexuality.
"Do you think they said goodnight to each other every night before bed, or was it just awkward silence?" That's definitely the question I most want answered.
Dumbledore supposedly is one of the keenest and observant wizards in the world. Couldn’t sense the Dark Lord sitting 5 feet to his right during every meal for a whole YEAR.
But he did.....did you not read the 7th book? Lol. He literally told Snape to keep an eye on Quirrel. Pretty sure he had a good idea of what was happening
Surprised there wasn't an exchange like: Screenwriter: "So the baby ends up being protected from Voldemort's spell due to her loving sacrifice" Producer: "So the All Powerful Dark Wizard didn't know that Love could stop his strongest spell", Screenwriter: "Well Nobody had every sacrificed themselves for someone else before.... So No" Producer: "A Very Unloving World"
The first part's pretty easy to explain. Voldemort didn't anticipate that because it fell under "things he considers worthless and thus didn't learn about, and doesn't account for." It's probably not a totally unprecedented event, or Dumbledore wouldn't have had anywhere to pull that theory from in the first place. In fairness though, JK Rowling later decided the more exact details of the sacrifice were important, I suspect because she realized this sort of thing would probably have happened more than she'd originally realized.
My understanding is that for the protection thing to work that the person has to just stand there and let themselves be murdered. Not a situation that happens often when someone is sacrificing their life for someone else.
“That Hagrid guy shows up and tells Harry he’s a wizard and takes him away from his family.” “Very exciting!” Why am I only just now realising what a terrible message that is for kids?!
it's not though -- it's just pretty much an elaboration on the fantasy a lot of kids that aren't happy or don't fit in or definitely are in bad situations or even are just mad at their families have. Pretty much every other kid gets to be a wizard and stay with their families, including the muggle born ones so it's not like the message is either/or.
I have to say that I think the Pitch Meetings need to expand their genres a little. My wife was watching a Romantic Comedy the other day and I found myself dropping a ton of Pitch Meeting quotes that were extremely appropriate. Amazing how many time "so the movie can happen" works in a RomCom.
I remember an interview with Ryan. He came across as such a warm and humble guy who nevertheless knows his talent for comedy is solid and he's gonna share it with the world. And how much more bearable is this dark world for his contribution?! Hopefully everyone is subscribed to his own personal Ryan George channel with the epic saga of "The First Guy Who..." But he also said he has trouble enjoying movies now that he rips them apart for a living. He's probably doubled the pitch meeting playlist since then. I hope he takes a break soon. He's more than earned it. Imagine the time that goes into these comedic plot dissections ontop of the mere run times. Also, screen rant should be paying his rent for life for propping up their channel
Honestly, because of videos like this, I enjoy movies less as well. Or at least become more critical of it and more often see the plot holes and "stupidity."
I mean... we can nitpick movies all day and night, but part of the fun of movies is the willing suspension of disbelief. We buy into some things not making real-world sense so we can derive enjoyment and entertainment from the spectacle. Star Wars can be inconsistent, but it's still entertaining! I firmly believe you can criticize movies and still love to watch them.
Producer: "Can you tell me more about those houses?" Screenwriter: "There's one for the good guys, one for the bad guys, one for the smart guys and one for the irrelevant guys."
i always wished the snape was just a good guy in slitherin. the books almost played him up as such, but ultimately it was a flop. he couldve been a spy. reformed. slitherin couldve been not just a bunch of jerks, but maybe like cunning people, or people who seek power, but maybe for the right reasons? or outcasts. anything. but no. its just like you say. the good guys, the bad guys, the ultimately weak competition for the good guys, and the guys that literally have puff in their name. fans have portrayed hufflepuff as people who lack ambition but not courage etc, which imho is the coolest take on them. and one last side now how t f did rowling justify making hermione gryph and not raven?? like okay sure but also like actually how though.
"Oh, but don't worry, Slytherin is the ambition house, not the evil house." "Oh, so there are good guys in Slytherin too?" "Yeah, like the abusive incel teacher, the drunkard teacher who accidentally caused Voldemort's return and pretty much no one else." "Wow wow wow wow"
@@joelwahlstedt yeah there are endless movies. But i dont think he was planning to do a video on the whole series and then going back and doing them individually. Yes, there are endless movies but there are only a certain number of popular movies he can make pitch meetings for that will pull mass audiences.
But then Dumbledore is like, " Hey everybody, shut the hell up! Cuz Harry Potter here killed one of the teachers with his bare hands! Good job Harry! Here’s a bunch of points! Gryffindor Wins!"
@@escandersanchez65 Yeah, it kinda bugged me that Nevell got points standing up to his friends, but Hermione didn't lose points putting a spell on him.
"you think he went to scratch his head and poked the Dark Lord in the eye?" Oh my gods, it hurts from laughing. I had never thought of that, thank you.
Considering how horrible some of the spells are in the HP universe I wouldn't be surprised if you'd need to commit genocide on an entire species to create one of those stones.
"He's super cute... don't get too attached." Although portrayed in the movies by male snowy owls (which are the only ones that are pure white), Hedwig is a female.
Indeed. For a time though I also thought Hedwig was male because in Hungarian we don't have/know this name and Hungarian as a language doesn't have male vs female pronouns (it's always he/she/it in one), so unless someone specifies "female owl", you would have only the name to guess by. And so I guessed. Wrongly 😁 Ryan has no excuse though. 😉
Exactly! These letters are covering the entire floor and he's beaten to any of them by his uncle as he grasps the air. He seeks, but can't quite find anything.
@@commandercaptain4664 Ha. Now I picture Harry's eyesight being so bad that he's like one of those _Jurassic Park_ dinosaurs who need you to be moving quickly to actually detect you.
Considering she introduces things that literally breaks the entire series, yeah. Port Keys alone should've been a fool proof way for Harry's parents to keep him safe AND keep THEMSELVES safe.
@@minhajnizam5090 Well, in the Books, but I believe the actual Owl they used in the Movie is male. There's a TH-camr called ColdMirror, who did a pretty interesting Series of Videos about the first Movie.
I just realized how little Harry is affected by the first time he killed a person with his bare hands. That should be sort of...traumatizing? For an 11 year old, maybe?
@@bekkimcgrath why of course it's because she only came up with thestrals in the 5th book lol. One of those things where people have to bend over backwards to try and excuse the continuity issue. Like, uuuuuh, he wasn't really alive/human so it didn't count. Sure
To be fair to Dumbledore, the swiching the lights scene makes more sence in the book, they all just shutdown with one flick of the deluminator, But I guest this is more "cinematic"
While the version in the movie is really attention getting, so are the outfits for many of the wizards, so I call it a was for which would be more attention getting. The Lamps turning into fireflies that zoom off would be notable, but so would extra fancy Santa Claus in late summer.
@@farfaraway4285 My theory is that Even if his face was always there, hence the need to hide it, it was not funtioning most of the time, it only works when he wants to speak to someone directly.
@@farfaraway4285 Well he doesnt have his own respiratory system, nor is it probably connected to Quirrell, so effectively its just a ghost face. Was it ever explained in the book how exactly Voldemort actually got attached to Quirrell, though? Cause as far as I remember, they pretty much treat it as a dissease. Like "yeah, he was abroad and caught a Voldemort"
I thought the "super easy, barely an inconvenience" would be for the 3 basic challenges between the dog and the mirror. Like the teachers placed these challenges to protect the stone from evil wizards, but all the challenges are at the 1st year wizard level. Kinda felt like Fort Knox being protected by 5th grade math or something
Yes, but no. A lot of stuff you hear once in middle school you forget by the time you're adult. That goes for the countermeasure to the Devil's Snare (the plant). The key riddle, the chess riddle and the logical riddle (Snape's riddle which is omitted in the movie) required special skills one of the kids had (Harry: Quiddich champ; Ron: school's best chess player; Hermione: logical mind), but it is less likely for a single wizard to have them.
i personally find it a bit suspicious that all the challenges played to the strengths of the kids, like how the chess one was suited for ron and the potions one hermione, and how harry just so happened to be an excellent quidditch player so he could catch the keys
The story of Harry Potter is Dumbledore finding a child in a bad situation (dead parents) taking that child and placing him in a worse situation (abusive parents) then using his popularity as a famous person to get Harry to do what he wants to train him to be able to kill public enemy number 1 by having Harry fight with various obstacles at Hogwarts. Basically Dumbledore is trying to groom a child soldier and the only reason it is considered acceptable is because he kills the big bad guy.
It'd be like if Qui-Gon had only rescued Anakin from slavery with the intent of grooming him to destroy the... oh wait. Uh... just how many non-droid aliens were on that Trade Federation ship when Anakin blew it up? Dang, mentor characters in Chosen One fantasy are kinda messed up when you think about it.
@@ronnieveillon1162 I mean if we are saying that a final battle between Harry and Voldermort was inevitable that's fine but maybe they could have just taught Harry very well how to fight a duel rather than some convoluted plan where dumbledore dies and wands change allegiance and Harry ends up with a wand that can defeat voldermort.
Please do pitch meetings of these franchises: "Resident Evil" "The Never Ending Story" The "Corletto" trilogy "The Purge" "Insidious" "Paranormal Activity" It's a lot, I know, but endless material for a great series is TIGHT! 😁
He didn't cover half that stuff, like Berties every flavour beans and people being able to identify every flavour. "ahhh, yes, this one is ear wax, from an alpaca if I am not mistaken"
Am I the only one who felt bad for Slytherin at the end losing the house cup. Like okay we know atleast 3 of them weren't great but I imagine the other Slytherin students had to atleast word hard for ALL those points.
Honestly I genuinely want to know how Slytherin get so many points because every Slytherin student we see tend to be assholes and I can’t imagine any teacher other than Snape giving them so many points. Oh, wait, Snape exists. That’s why
Producer: "Didn't you already pitch this to me as a full series of 8 movies?" Screenwriter: "I'm gonna need you to get all the way off my back about what i've already pitched to you"
"Wait there are only 7 books, so 7 movies?" "That's super easy barely an inconvenience" "How so?" "We're gonna need to stretch the last book into 2 movies so we can make more money." "Oh ok"
Me: Wasn’t there already a Pitch Meeting for the entire Harry Potter franchise? Screen Rant: Yes, there is. But, the new Fantastic Beasts trailer just dropped, so I need you to get all the way off my back about that video. Me: Oh, ok. Let me get off of that thing.
Eh, technically? I guess, but that statement kinda needs an asterisk next to it when you consider all the accidental magic he does (Olivander's shop and the zoo scene come to mind) and he is shown _attempting_ a levitation spell, though he doesn't complete it.
@@allthelonely4287 It's not exactly clear, though, what constitutes a "spell". Is commanding the broom into his hand by saying "up" a spell, even though he didn't use a wand and brooms in the Harry Potter universe are (possibly) sentient? We've seen that spells can be cast without saying the incantation (i.e. "accio", "stupefy", or "wingardium leviosa") just with a wave of the wand, so does the carnage he causes in Olivander's shop count, since he used a wand but no incantations, or is formal training required to qualify any use of magic as a "spell"?
@@GS-lq2is Agreed that the screenwriter is good. The producer guy, in addition to being a hack, is just plain ugly. Whereas the screenwriter guy is an attractive stud, much better than that hideous sight of Producer Guy.
"Harry's rich and rich people get what they want" "That is True" Jesus this line almost killed me 🤣 not to self don't eat when watching Ryan George videos lol
Missed opportunity: "And during the entire school year, Harry never came in physical contact with his teacher, even accidentally?" "Uhhh." "I mean what if Harry's hand accidentally touches his teachers hand when he's turning in a paper?"
Well, no, not really, they all had good intentions and good reasons. Dumbledore, for example, was hoping for the best when he gave custody of Harry Potter to his family (they are, after all, his surviving family). A quite logical move, as far as he knew at the time. His uncle and aunt are the one at fault, though to be honest Dumbledore should have taken back Harry earlier, once he realised they were abusive.
@@leovk5779 dumbledore sent him to family he knew had been abusive to his mother, let them abuse him, and then lied to him about wanting to kill him to kill Voldemort and created no plan or help to find the majority of the horcruxes beyond tasking some children to do it. Snape was abusive, Mcconagal was cruel and didn’t listen. Really the only solid adult is hagrid.
@Alphonse the safest place was to be raised by dumbledore, he admitted it, but said he couldn’t do it because he knew harry had to die and didn’t want to get attached.
@@Primenumber19 Her mother's family was not abusive to her. Only her sister, but they were only children, so Dumbledore hoped the grown-up aunt would be able to overcome the contempt she had for her dead sister and raise Harry with love. He did gave them a stern frightening talking to at the end about being abusive. Also yes as Alphonse said, he had to because of the charm's protection too that relied on his aunt's presence. Dumbledore makes other mistakes throughout the books, but I never saw it as him being terrible, only him being human and not all-knowing. Despite how wise he appears, he is not omniscient, but in the end, his plan worked (though it required a lot of suffering by Harry, yes.) McGonagal is never cruel, she does not always listen yes, but I always saw it as her trying to not encourage Harry and his friends to actively look for trouble. If she was enthusiastic about their adventures, it would defeat her goal, keep them safe. No question about Snape, though we do learn why (which is no excuse). Hagrid is great, but he is not always the most responsible, sometime putting them in danger (ex sending them to see the spiders XD).
@@Primenumber19 the reason why he had Harry stay with his relatives is because his mother’s protection would work there. However, did he really even need that protection from birth to Hogworts first year? He really only needed the protection by the third or so movie/book. One last note: Harry learned humility thanks to his abusive environment... I guess that’s a good thing
“Harry killed a teacher with his bare hands!” “Oh my God!” “No, see, that’s a good thing.” “Oh, okay. I was worried for a second that wizards might have had some means of mind control. But if having an evil warlock’s face on your head doesn’t cast doubts on your free will, then I imagine controlling a person is extremely difficult to outright impossible.” “They learn how to do it as 15 year olds!” “What.” “But don’t worry, they’re also told they’ll be thrown in jail with literal soul-eating monsters whose presence makes people suicidally depressed if they ever do it.” “ _What._ “ “Or if they just get suspected of a crime or whatever. That’s the only form of prison they seem to have.” “ _WHAT._ “
"It's called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone." "We should change it to Sorcerer's Stone, because it's about magic!" "But the Philosopher's Stone is already rooted in alchemical lore. And there's a popular manga where a Philosopher's Stone was created by sacrificing millions of people to power it." "If it's powered by sacrificing human lives that would show how evil this bad guy is, but I still think we should change it to Sorcerer's Stone." "Well okay then!"
Well, since they want to limit muggle magic exposure a howler would be a big give away if some got caught in a breeze and ended up on other people's door step.
Hey Ryan, interesting you called Hedwig ‘he’ because even though she’s canonically female, all of the owls that played her were male because only the male snowy owls have mostly white feathers.
In a video recently posted by someone whose entire channel revovles around Harry Potter (Cherry Wells), she also referred to Hedwig as being the gender she is not. Just because it's been fourteen years since people read the last book doesn't mean they can get the Norbert/Norberta thing mixed up with Hedwig.
"What's it called?" "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone." "That's a big word, let's call it the Sorcerer's Stone instead." "Are philosophers and sorcerers the same thing?" "Not even close." "Oh okay."

There should be a rule saying that there should only be one movie by Pitch Meeting (no cramming several movies in one single meeting) and that if Ryan does a Pitch Meeting for an individual movie of a franchise he is obligated to make individual Pitch Meeting videos for the rest of the franchise too. Following all the storyline in Pitch Meetings is tight!
"And here we have this Wizard called Dumbledore, and he wants to leave little baby Harry with this family, but he doesn't want to be seen doing magic in the Suburbs". "So what does he do?" "He does some magic in the Suburbs". Literally the best line in the whole video.
I think the greatest (and most meta) joke of them all is realizing how so very many of these movies *succeeded anyway* even with all their potential plot holes and occasional creepy implications when certain parts are examined too closely.
To be fair, Harry making a total mess of Ollivander's shop is really of no consequence - it can be cleaned up literally with a wave of a hand (holding wand). Repairing wands would be an issue but they just flew off the shelves, so I doubt anything happened to them.
Well technically being in Slytherin didn't automatically make you evil, JK Rowling is just terrible at nuanced writing so it ended up that way. Woulda been interesting to see more from Slytherin then "The Evil Kid House" but oh well.
@@Capta1nTD the book was from Harry’s perspective and guess what? He hated the them. If the books were from Draco’s perspective we would hate gryffindors just as much. It would be ridiculous for j.k Rowling to have a children’s book with a main character more mature and understand then real adults. Becuse he would have to be mature and understanding in order for us to get to see slytherins good sides.
@@Matilda-u5n What does Harry's perspective have to do with none of the Slytherins choosing to oppose Voldemort? They were all either for him or at best too cowardly to act against him. Or was Harry's perspective so skewed he actively lied about parts of the story? The only "good" Slytherin in the story was Snape, and he wasn't a good person he was just so obssessed over a lost love he was willing to turn on his old master to avenge her. So basically he was a SIMP before that term got popular.
Except a place to live that isn't abusive relatives. Though he got the freedom to not disclose his wealth which by rights of both age and the fact they are the only living relatives would either go directly to them or at least be for them to manage until he grows older... which is kind of a shitty move on top of them maybe getting their minds poisened by being around a hocrux...
@@Shuizid I always wondered how James came into that much money. Pure-blooded family married to a Muggle-born, but no outward signs of it when he was young...
To be fair on the 'killing Quirrel' thing, I'm fairly sure hosting Voldemort was slowly killing him, isn't that why he was drinking Unicorn Blood, so he would've died anyway, plus he WAS actively trying to kill Harry at the time.
Is it weird that my heart fluttered a bit when Ryan said "I miss you"? That's totally normal right? Not something to be concerned about as an indicator of deeper underlying issues, right? Guys?
been a potterhead my entire life and just now for the first time you made me think about how Quirell could not sleep on his back because he'd suffocate Voldemort. I'm actively picturing Quirell now lying on his side with a book in front of him and one propped up so Voldemort can read and when he reaches for the light Voldemort is like "don't you dare, I'm still reading here" - "but I got papers to grade tomorrow!" - "What has ever lead you to believe possibly inconveniencing you is a concern of mine?"
Started crying with laughter when the Ryan being pitched at kept brightly speculating about Voldemort sharing a head with Quirrell 😂😂 He sounded so pleased with his questions
Yes, he was, if you read the books you would know this, I suppose the movies don't explain things well enough, the reason Harry has to live with the Sursleys in spite of all they do to him is that with family he is protected from Voldemort, witho ther wizards he wouldn't be. And for whatever reason the Potters are all gone. Probably all died in the Second Wizarding War.
@@jamieelsayed608 Yup! Apparently the publishers thought "Philosopher" would bring images of old boring dudes whereas "Sorcerer" would sound cooler, and elicit a better response.

This is why James' Patronus is a stag and Snape's is another doe. Does are a symbol of innocence and they aren't sexualy attracted to other does. I know people think Snape was obsessed with Lily and she got "friendzoned" but I really think all he wanted was to be her friend. I mean, Sirius seemed pretty obsessed with James too, and they were also childhood best friends
Always
@@aceash459 That's..... actually *_worse_* than Snape being sexually attracted to Lily and jealous that she chose James. That implies that Snape sees Lily more as an object than as an actual person, an object that he feels he should have control over, what with your idea that he wanted to prevent her from "losing her innocence". It also suggests some pretty messed up, misogynistic views on female sexuality.

@@chakkra69 This only adds to my point, technically
But he did.....did you not read the 7th book? Lol. He literally told Snape to keep an eye on Quirrel. Pretty sure he had a good idea of what was happening
Surprised there wasn't an exchange like:
Screenwriter: "So the baby ends up being protected from Voldemort's spell due to her loving sacrifice"
Producer: "So the All Powerful Dark Wizard didn't know that Love could stop his strongest spell",
Screenwriter: "Well Nobody had every sacrificed themselves for someone else before.... So No"
Producer: "A Very Unloving World"
In the Harry Potter universe, Edwin Starr sang about Love instead of War.
I believe just about this exact exchange was in the original pitch meeting.
The first part's pretty easy to explain. Voldemort didn't anticipate that because it fell under "things he considers worthless and thus didn't learn about, and doesn't account for." It's probably not a totally unprecedented event, or Dumbledore wouldn't have had anywhere to pull that theory from in the first place. In fairness though, JK Rowling later decided the more exact details of the sacrifice were important, I suspect because she realized this sort of thing would probably have happened more than she'd originally realized.
@@jacobd1984 You'll never go broke betting that JK Rowling went back and retconned her own lore.
My understanding is that for the protection thing to work that the person has to just stand there and let themselves be murdered. Not a situation that happens often when someone is sacrificing their life for someone else.
Dear Lord, that "child killing a teacher" running joke is just soooo hilarious. 😂
“That Hagrid guy shows up and tells Harry he’s a wizard and takes him away from his family.”
“Very exciting!”
Why am I only just now realising what a terrible message that is for kids?!

Seems a lot like a scenario in which someone gets kidnapped.
@@16shogunelitegreen *Dursleys. Sorry but I’m such a stickler for anything Potter-related lol .-.
it's not though -- it's just pretty much an elaboration on the fantasy a lot of kids that aren't happy or don't fit in or definitely are in bad situations or even are just mad at their families have. Pretty much every other kid gets to be a wizard and stay with their families, including the muggle born ones so it's not like the message is either/or.
Don't... don't you want kids from abusive families like Dursleys to want to go away?..
I have to say that I think the Pitch Meetings need to expand their genres a little. My wife was watching a Romantic Comedy the other day and I found myself dropping a ton of Pitch Meeting quotes that were extremely appropriate. Amazing how many time "so the movie can happen" works in a RomCom.
Romantic comedies are entirely based on "barely an inconvenience". 😅 Ryan'd have to cover the full 120 minutes of the movie. Not that I'd mind.
Romantic comedies just always have simplistic story structure. I enjoy that genre a lot, but they're often not very profound; easy pitch meeting fuel
I do this all this time while watching movies now. Especially: "Why? Just because. Oh, ok." Or "Why? Because. Fair enough."
RomComs would be too low hanging a fruit.
The entire premise of Pitch Meetings is based around blockbusters and popular films.
I remember an interview with Ryan. He came across as such a warm and humble guy who nevertheless knows his talent for comedy is solid and he's gonna share it with the world. And how much more bearable is this dark world for his contribution?! Hopefully everyone is subscribed to his own personal Ryan George channel with the epic saga of "The First Guy Who..."
But he also said he has trouble enjoying movies now that he rips them apart for a living. He's probably doubled the pitch meeting playlist since then. I hope he takes a break soon. He's more than earned it. Imagine the time that goes into these comedic plot dissections ontop of the mere run times.
Also, screen rant should be paying his rent for life for propping up their channel
Maybe he plays sports instead :D Just hope he doesn't start tearing reality apart too much, else he will become a 19th century villain
Honestly, because of videos like this, I enjoy movies less as well. Or at least become more critical of it and more often see the plot holes and "stupidity."
I mean... we can nitpick movies all day and night, but part of the fun of movies is the willing suspension of disbelief. We buy into some things not making real-world sense so we can derive enjoyment and entertainment from the spectacle. Star Wars can be inconsistent, but it's still entertaining!
I firmly believe you can criticize movies and still love to watch them.
I don't make any TH-cam videos and I haven't been able to enjoy movies in 3 years. It's not me or Ryan, it's the movies.
to be fair... I'm sure that screen rant does pay him something. so that's good

"What the hell is hufflepuff?" "Find!"
i always wished the snape was just a good guy in slitherin. the books almost played him up as such, but ultimately it was a flop. he couldve been a spy. reformed. slitherin couldve been not just a bunch of jerks, but maybe like cunning people, or people who seek power, but maybe for the right reasons? or outcasts. anything. but no. its just like you say. the good guys, the bad guys, the ultimately weak competition for the good guys, and the guys that literally have puff in their name. fans have portrayed hufflepuff as people who lack ambition but not courage etc, which imho is the coolest take on them. and one last side now how t f did rowling justify making hermione gryph and not raven?? like okay sure but also like actually how though.
Hufflepuff is more for losers
You know i can't remember a single hufflepuff or raven claw student.

Although portrayed in the movies by male snowy owls (which are the only ones that are pure white), Hedwig is a female.
Indeed. For a time though I also thought Hedwig was male because in Hungarian we don't have/know this name and Hungarian as a language doesn't have male vs female pronouns (it's always he/she/it in one), so unless someone specifies "female owl", you would have only the name to guess by.

What I want to know is if ever Voldemort’s face got smooshed up or he got a little suffocated when Quirell slept on it or turned around in bed…

@@farfaraway4285 My theory is that Even if his face was always there, hence the need to hide it, it was not funtioning most of the time, it only works when he wants to speak to someone directly.
@@farfaraway4285 Well he doesnt have his own respiratory system, nor is it probably connected to Quirrell, so effectively its just a ghost face. Was it ever explained in the book how exactly Voldemort actually got attached to Quirrell, though? Cause as far as I remember, they pretty much treat it as a dissease. Like "yeah, he was abroad and caught a Voldemort"
I thought the "super easy, barely an inconvenience" would be for the 3 basic challenges between the dog and the mirror. Like the teachers placed these challenges to protect the stone from evil wizards, but all the challenges are at the 1st year wizard level. Kinda felt like Fort Knox being protected by 5th grade math or something
Yes, but no. A lot of stuff you hear once in middle school you forget by the time you're adult. That goes for the countermeasure to the Devil's Snare (the plant). The key riddle, the chess riddle and the logical riddle (Snape's riddle which is omitted in the movie) required special skills one of the kids had (Harry: Quiddich champ; Ron: school's best chess player; Hermione: logical mind), but it is less likely for a single wizard to have them.
@@countluke2334 yeah to be fair they are prodigies in their own right.
i personally find it a bit suspicious that all the challenges played to the strengths of the kids, like how the chess one was suited for ron and the potions one hermione, and how harry just so happened to be an excellent quidditch player so he could catch the keys
The story of Harry Potter is Dumbledore finding a child in a bad situation (dead parents) taking that child and placing him in a worse situation (abusive parents) then using his popularity as a famous person to get Harry to do what he wants to train him to be able to kill public enemy number 1 by having Harry fight with various obstacles at Hogwarts. Basically Dumbledore is trying to groom a child soldier and the only reason it is considered acceptable is because he kills the big bad guy.
Don't forget the part about grooming him to basically kill himself when the time comes.
It'd be like if Qui-Gon had only rescued Anakin from slavery with the intent of grooming him to destroy the... oh wait. Uh... just how many non-droid aliens were on that Trade Federation ship when Anakin blew it up?

@@leonpaelinck I think the broom automatically levitates and the rider just controls where and how fast it goes.
@@allthelonely4287 It's not exactly clear, though, what constitutes a "spell". Is commanding the broom into his hand by saying "up" a spell, even though he didn't use a wand and brooms in the Harry Potter universe are (possibly) sentient? We've seen that spells can be cast without saying the incantation (i.e. "accio", "stupefy", or "wingardium leviosa") just with a wave of the wand, so does the carnage he causes in Olivander's shop count, since he used a wand but no incantations, or is formal training required to qualify any use of magic as a "spell"?

Well, no, not really, they all had good intentions and good reasons. Dumbledore, for example, was hoping for the best when he gave custody of Harry Potter to his family (they are, after all, his surviving family). A quite logical move, as far as he knew at the time. His uncle and aunt are the one at fault, though to be honest Dumbledore should have taken back Harry earlier, once he realised they were abusive.
@@leovk5779 dumbledore sent him to family he knew had been abusive to his mother, let them abuse him, and then lied to him about wanting to kill him to kill Voldemort and created no plan or help to find the majority of the horcruxes beyond tasking some children to do it. Snape was abusive, Mcconagal was cruel and didn’t listen. Really the only solid adult is hagrid.
@Alphonse the safest place was to be raised by dumbledore, he admitted it, but said he couldn’t do it because he knew harry had to die and didn’t want to get attached.
@@Primenumber19 Her mother's family was not abusive to her. Only her sister, but they were only children, so Dumbledore hoped the grown-up aunt would be able to overcome the contempt she had for her dead sister and raise Harry with love. He did gave them a stern frightening talking to at the end about being abusive. Also yes as Alphonse said, he had to because of the charm's protection too that relied on his aunt's presence.
Dumbledore makes other mistakes throughout the books, but I never saw it as him being terrible, only him being human and not all-knowing. Despite how wise he appears, he is not omniscient, but in the end, his plan worked (though it required a lot of suffering by Harry, yes.)
McGonagal is never cruel, she does not always listen yes, but I always saw it as her trying to not encourage Harry and his friends to actively look for trouble. If she was enthusiastic about their adventures, it would defeat her goal, keep them safe.
No question about Snape, though we do learn why (which is no excuse).
Hagrid is great, but he is not always the most responsible, sometime putting them in danger (ex sending them to see the spiders XD).
@@Primenumber19 the reason why he had Harry stay with his relatives is because his mother’s protection would work there.

Broke my heart more when they called her a him.

"Well we don't introduce them until a future movie so they might as well not exist right now" sums up my problem with the whole series so brilliantly
Well, since they want to limit muggle magic exposure a howler would be a big give away if some got caught in a breeze and ended up on other people's door step.
@@anvos658 Ended up at wrong address!!! It's supposed to be magical.
Don't forget it's a 50/50 chance they're never heard from again, or used ad nauseam
Expecto Patronum!
Also, we used it in the previous movie so it might as well not exist right now
American publisher thought americans wouldn't know what a philosopher's stone was. And British children are... more cultured or something?
Better at reading yeah
Considering even here in Brazil they went with philosopher's stone (pedra filosofal) that's messed up 😅
In dutch steen der wijze stone of wisdom
Hey Ryan, interesting you called Hedwig ‘he’ because even though she’s canonically female, all of the owls that played her were male because only the male snowy owls have mostly white feathers.
In a video recently posted by someone whose entire channel revovles around Harry Potter (Cherry Wells), she also referred to Hedwig as being the gender she is not. Just because it's been fourteen years since people read the last book doesn't mean they can get the Norbert/Norberta thing mixed up with Hedwig.

Great owl knowledge 🦉.
The Christmas gift I wasn’t expecting but was exactly what I needed.
"What's it called?"
"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone."
"That's a big word, let's call it the Sorcerer's Stone instead."
"Are philosophers and sorcerers the same thing?"
"Not even close."
"Oh okay."
Well that is one of those weird American English to British English things.
@@anvos658 Uhm. 7 months later and you're here to say... what, exactly? The original was in British English, so it's not a case of "American to British", and my comment was regarding the fact that they're not the same thing in different dialects, they're very different things in BOTH languages.
“Doing one pitch for each of the 8 movies is super easy. Barely an inconvenience.”
“No. That’s not true at all. These pitches take a very long time to film and edit.”
“Whoops!”
“Whoopsie!”
“So that’s a happy turn of events. This child took this man’s life fairly easily.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Gonna repeat myself: I'd love to see some pitch meetings for older classics like Psycho, Citizen Kane, 12 Angry Men, The Godfather, The Good the Bad and the Ugly, Casablanca, etc...
Arsenic and old Lace.
Grease.
And everybody wants these letters of transit, because they let you go anywhere, no questions asked!
Is that a real thing?
No, but we need it, so the motion picture can happen!
I love that the phrase "Barely an inconvenience" is in EVERY one of these.
Wow wow wow wow!
It must be hard to find room for that phrase in every video!
@@SelvesteSand Actually, it was super easy, barely an inconvenience. He even said it twice.
Sometimes twice.
"Yeah don't get too attached" Me-Starts laughing hysterically then crying.
Hopefully an ongoing joke throughout the rest of the pitch meetings for harry potter lol.
“Ouch, Quirrel. Roll over. My face is being crushed.” -Voldemort
V: "I spy with my evil eye...... something green!"
Q: **sigh** "Is it a snake?"
V: "DAMN! How did you...... nevermind"
**silence for a few minutes**
V: "I spy...."
Q: **even louder depressed sigh**
There should be a rule saying that there should only be one movie by Pitch Meeting (no cramming several movies in one single meeting) and that if Ryan does a Pitch Meeting for an individual movie of a franchise he is obligated to make individual Pitch Meeting videos for the rest of the franchise too.
Following all the storyline in Pitch Meetings is tight!
Well yeah, but making Pitch Meetings probably isn't super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Obligated? Meh
"And here we have this Wizard called Dumbledore, and he wants to leave little baby Harry with this family, but he doesn't want to be seen doing magic in the Suburbs".
"So what does he do?"
"He does some magic in the Suburbs".
Literally the best line in the whole video.
I love how these pitch meetings make every movie seem bad and not thought well of
I mean if you read the playlist description, that's kinda the point lol
I think the greatest (and most meta) joke of them all is realizing how so very many of these movies *succeeded anyway* even with all their potential plot holes and occasional creepy implications when certain parts are examined too closely.
Finally! Doing them all individually will be better than your overall pitch meeting that you did before.
And please do a Pitch Meeting for The Room!
Oh redoing a pitch meeting for a movie is TIGHT!
LOL Then do a a pitch meeting for Room. Bag of laughs. :(
Tom Riddle: Is it possible to split your soul into seven pieces?
Professor Slughorn: Actually it's super easy, barely an inconvenience!
Hahahaha this is underrated
To be fair, Harry making a total mess of Ollivander's shop is really of no consequence - it can be cleaned up literally with a wave of a hand (holding wand). Repairing wands would be an issue but they just flew off the shelves, so I doubt anything happened to them.
"So the kids are divided into houses including one for the evil kids."
"Why would they have-?"
"Anyway..."
Yeah, what WAS up with that?
Well technically being in Slytherin didn't automatically make you evil, JK Rowling is just terrible at nuanced writing so it ended up that way. Woulda been interesting to see more from Slytherin then "The Evil Kid House" but oh well.
@@Capta1nTD the book was from Harry’s perspective and guess what? He hated the them. If the books were from Draco’s perspective we would hate gryffindors just as much. It would be ridiculous for j.k Rowling to have a children’s book with a main character more mature and understand then real adults. Becuse he would have to be mature and understanding in order for us to get to see slytherins good sides.
@@Matilda-u5n What does Harry's perspective have to do with none of the Slytherins choosing to oppose Voldemort? They were all either for him or at best too cowardly to act against him. Or was Harry's perspective so skewed he actively lied about parts of the story? The only "good" Slytherin in the story was Snape, and he wasn't a good person he was just so obssessed over a lost love he was willing to turn on his old master to avenge her. So basically he was a SIMP before that term got popular.
Evil people need to learn how to cast magic too guys. Jeez.
@@Capta1nTD and it's Canon that snape should have been a gryfindor and that being in slytherin ruined his life
"I don't love how that sounded either, but i said it and there's no taking it back" i love that reference to J.K Rowling retconning everything
Retconning what?
@@brandoncastellano1858 ALL the things
@@TheChessicfayth oh no
Writer: “Harry’s rich and rich people get what they want”
Producer: “lmao That is true!”
Except a place to live that isn't abusive relatives. Though he got the freedom to not disclose his wealth which by rights of both age and the fact they are the only living relatives would either go directly to them or at least be for them to manage until he grows older... which is kind of a shitty move on top of them maybe getting their minds poisened by being around a hocrux...
@@Shuizid I always wondered how James came into that much money. Pure-blooded family married to a Muggle-born, but no outward signs of it when he was young...
-That's a line from the video!
-Yeah, yeah, yeah
"we don't introduce those until a later movie, so that's as good as them not existing right now" describes the whole series pretty well, actually
To be fair on the 'killing Quirrel' thing, I'm fairly sure hosting Voldemort was slowly killing him, isn't that why he was drinking Unicorn Blood, so he would've died anyway, plus he WAS actively trying to kill Harry at the time.
Ok boomer
Ah yes young Harry Rittenhouse might be a hero to some people.
I always thought that the Unicorn blood was to help keep Voldemort solid
@@reubenoakley8967 I think you're right.
Don't overthink it. That's how you get students using vanishing spells to get rid of poop.
See elaborating and making a pitch meeting on every single Harry Potter movie is super easy barely an inconvenience
Is it weird that my heart fluttered a bit when Ryan said "I miss you"?
That's totally normal right? Not something to be concerned about as an indicator of deeper underlying issues, right?
Guys?
my heart as well
@@Shasta--1 Thanks for having my back famm! It's reassuring to know I'm not alone.
I already miss you! 🌹😉👋
So, if Professor Quirrell rolls on his back in his sleep, would he suffocate the dark lord Voldemort? No pressure...
Me: You cant make me rethink these movies with logic
Ryan: Actually it'll be super easy, barely an inconvenience
"Waves like normal person" that joke was awesome
Then you don't deserve to know
I did get the joke and laughted, either did i
been a potterhead my entire life and just now for the first time you made me think about how Quirell could not sleep on his back because he'd suffocate Voldemort. I'm actively picturing Quirell now lying on his side with a book in front of him and one propped up so Voldemort can read and when he reaches for the light Voldemort is like "don't you dare, I'm still reading here" - "but I got papers to grade tomorrow!" - "What has ever lead you to believe possibly inconveniencing you is a concern of mine?"
If you haven't watched "A Very Potter Musical", watch it. It goes into this in great detail.
How would Voldemort turn the pages?
Started crying with laughter when the Ryan being pitched at kept brightly speculating about Voldemort sharing a head with Quirrell 😂😂 He sounded so pleased with his questions
I just realised the letters knowing his room situation means that dumbledore was fully aware of his living situation the whole time.
Yes, he was, if you read the books you would know this, I suppose the movies don't explain things well enough, the reason Harry has to live with the Sursleys in spite of all they do to him is that with family he is protected from Voldemort, witho ther wizards he wouldn't be. And for whatever reason the Potters are all gone. Probably all died in the Second Wizarding War.
Yes, I want more Harry Potter pitches. Well done.
“His mother’s love is tight!”
I’m sure James Potter agrees
Not since Harry was born.
I'm sure Snape thought about that for years.
Watching some of the OG pitch meetings it's amazing how much better he's gotten with his portrayals
"he doesn't wanna be seen doing magic in the suburbs....
He does some magic in the suburbs"
Classic Pitch meeting😂
Using the word "Sorcerer" for the American audience instead of "Philosophers" is super easy! Barely an inconvenience!
This is the comment I was searching for… is it actually called sorcerers stone in America?
@@jamieelsayed608 Yup! Apparently the publishers thought "Philosopher" would bring images of old boring dudes whereas "Sorcerer" would sound cooler, and elicit a better response.
Wait, does that mean for the movie they had two different takes / voice recordings whenever they said the word 'philospher's'?
@@catch_0227 That's a question I've never considered... HOWEVER according to Wikipedia... YES!!! "Because the American title was different, all scenes that mention the philosopher's stone by name had to be shot twice, once with the actors saying "philosopher's" and once with "sorcerer's"."
England: Philosopher's Stone is a movie!
America: What the hell is a philosopher? MAKE THE CHANGE.
The genuine " why would they have that" was hysterical
I'm so excited for individual pitches for each movie!
