Jen: "Is Snape a villain or NOT???"
Holden: "Let's ask Dumbledore. Oh wait, we can't"
That got me killed LMAO
Lol, that was pretty hardcore🤣
it got Dumbledore killed too
I mean we actually can... And we will.
literally 😭😭 i nearly spat out my drink but ended up choking on it instead LMAO. well worth it though
@@DeathBean89 i was about to comment that 😂😂
Luna is the only one with the emotional intelligence to understand Harry.
Luna is the best
I like the Luna Character, but yeah I always saw it as a respected friend relationship like when I talk to my need friend of all need things
MINOR SPOILER but not really but figured should say it
.

Like in the next movie: "Harry doesn't want to speak with us, he's just too polite to say it" LMAO
you ain't wrong
@@Cheechers always loved that line/ scene. so perfect
It should be pointed out that Snape revealing himself to be the Half-Blood Prince is much bigger bombshell in the book. Harry spends the entire year learning from the Prince, defending him from Hermione and even feeling a bit of a kinship to him.
Ironically, Harry probably learns more about potions in his 1 year learning from the Prince than he does in 5 full years with Snape 😂
Yea the whole point of him being the HBP just gets lost or tossed aside in the movie because of dumbledore’s death and all the romances.
It’s weird. It’s the title of the film but hardly seems part of the story. It was a much bigger deal in the book.
@@DylanMadd also the fact that Tom Riddle’s family history is entirely omitted. The whole point of how the ring came to be, why Tom Riddle became who he was, and his mother and father’s lives was like it never even existed.
to be fair, the most Harry learned about potions was in fact in his very first potions lesson when Snape first told him about draught of the living dead (for which using Snape's book here he got Felix Felicis), bezoar (the very thing that saved Ron's life in this year), and aconite (a hint Lupin himself gave in PoA foreshadowing his lycanthropy, which Harry of course misinterprets by concluding Snape is poisoning Lupin... lol book Harry)...
I still feel in the books that when they decided to hide the book after Harry nearly killed Draco with the Sectum Sempra spell that if anything they should at least copied all the improved versions of the potions inside in a notebook. I mean potions perfected by a Potion Savant would be handy as shit. Just sayin

yes.
I always hated how the movies did Ginny dirty. She was my favourite in the books.
@@yourkindofquiet4270 (Ron side-eyes this comment)
@@yourkindofquiet4270 To be fair, Ginny was lacking development and focus in the books as well. She certainly got more time and lines, but the books are much longer. The time spent on her in the books is scaled down pretty accurately into the movies, considering the massive amount of story cut from each character.
She has a larger personality and more memorable presence in the books, but she's still underused and all the time we see her in the books doesn't add up to that very much.
@@buffnipz yeah but they couldve done her much better in the movies. just because they had to take some of her story out doesn't mean they had to ruin her entire personality
Harry gave his winnings from the tournament to the twins. He didn’t want the money because of Cedrics death. He tried to give the money to Cedrics parents but they didn’t want the money either
This reminds me that I want to read the series again and once again drown myself in the lore.
I’m on book five on there-reads
I'm still kinda annoyed that they didn't put that in the films
@@G17x Tell me about it! I really wish some time in the future they make a full series with all these details in it; with full back stories, details about the elves, hagrid's giant adventure, the whole relationship stories in Hogwarts, the drama in Wesley family etc.
@@G17x Definitely agreed. It wouldn't even have taken that much time. They added unnecessary things, but couldn't keep out something like that. They just needed to have the part where Harry tried to give the winnings away because he viewed it as blood money and therefore "invested" in Fred & George because he felt the world needed fun, happy things to help lift everyone up. It's a big part of his character that they cut out.

Yet 99% of all the Slytherin characters are bad guys and 1% are dubious at best.
stupid words of wisdom by trying to be pointlessly abstract. if something of definition applies to everyone, then the definition is pointless. indeed, restrictive definitions exist because they explicitly do not apply to everyone; that's why the word exists. good people and bad people ARE people who made good/bad decisions/choices, that is what made them good/evil. therefore, the whole statement is pointlessly idiotic.
@@unclebounce1495 you have to remember though this was a book series written for kids. Kids are still developing a sense of right and wrong and this is addressing the fact that even if the easy solution is evil it's still a choice.

book harry ginny kiss: “we won!!” yelled ron, bounding into sight and brandishing the silver cup at harry. “we won! four hundred and fifty to a hundred and fourty! we won!”
harry looked around; there was ginny running towards him; she had a hard blazing look on her face as she threw her arms around him. and without thinking, without planning, without worrying about the fact that fifty people were watching, harry kissed her.
after several long moments - or it might have been half an hour - or possibly several sunlit days - they broke apart. the room had gone very quiet. then several people wolf whistled and there was an outbreak of nervous giggling. harry looked over the top of ginnys head to see dean thomas holding a shattered glass in his hand and romilda vane looking as though she might throw something. hermione was beaming, but harrys eyes sought ron. at last he found him, still clutching the cup and wearing an expression appropriate to having been clubbed over the head. for a fraction of a second they looked at each other, then ron gave a tiny jerk of the head that harry understood to mean, ‘well - if you must.’
yep, I loved that passage. I assume they altered it as the tendency to cut back on all the Quidditch matches (too expensive for CGI and drags on considering limited amount of on screen time) so they changed it and made it... different
@@FenixNade They cut the wrong things for the most part (the Gaunt Memories).
@@goldenstatewarriors9418Yes, can you tell me what part of the book is this? Would love to read it!
@@luc8254 kind of late, but the gaunt memories r from when a ministry agent visited Tom riddles mom, uncle and grandfather. Just a lot of really cool and important Voldemort lore.

Sad moment in the series to be sure but necessary. Dumbledore knew his death was necessary.
@@jeffburnham6611 I agree, it greatly increased the scale of the series
Whoa!! Spoilers!!
@@jeffburnham6611 dude why do you write that in a comment…
Again though, we had to wait for an answer to the question, "Is Snape good or evil?". It was everywhere when the book was released. Jenn only has to wait a week.
They don’t explain in the movie. But in the books, Snape calls himself the Half-blood prince because his father is a muggle named Tobias Snape, and his mother was a witch named Eileen Prince. So in his nickname he uses his witch mothers surname.
Oh I didn't know that's how he got the name! Just thought he was trying to put a positive twist to being a mudblood.....pardon my parseltongue
I thought only muggleborns are mudbloods..
Does the slur include halfbloods ?
@@yacoobabraham5401 Nope you’re right, Snape isn’t considered a mudblood.
@@Wiesman1000 Oh my bad I thought the term mudblood was for everyone that wasn't "pure blood" since having any sort of of muggle blood "muddies" up the magical genes or something.
@@stevenfriedman2902 nah, only muggle-borns as some consider them thieves of magic, as the possess magical abilities without haveing a magical parent
“Some people were saying Harry lent them the money.” He gives them the money in the book at the end of the goblet of fire, as long as they buy Ron new dress robes and Mrs Weasley doesn’t find out.
Jen: “Is he gonna doink here?”
Holden: *pikachu face*
Literally 3 seconds later
Holden: “Yea he’s gonna plow a Weasley”
Jen : *pikachu face*
I loved the white Christmas joke
Spot on
Bruh, literally my favorite part of this video lmao
Holden: "I'm sorry sweetie but I cannot tell lies."
Fun Fact: Helen McCrory who plays Narcissa Malfoy, Draco's mom, was casted as Bellatrix for Order of the Phoenix but had to drop out after she got pregnant. They recasted her later after she gave birth. Sadly she passed away this year in April due to cancer.
What? I didnt even know she passed away....
Another Harry Potter actor gone 😢
@@FatThor55 I know. Very sad. Harry potter was a good portion of my childhood. I still remember going to see the movies in theaters and reading the books.
Bummer. But I don't think she'd have been as good a Bellatrix Lestrange as Helena Bonham Carter was.
That fact... wasn't very fun at all :(
She was brilliant as aunt Polly in Peaky blinders too
JEN: IS SNAPE A VILLAIN OR NOT?!
HOLDEN: well lets ask dumbledore
*shows a scene of dumbledore dead*
HOLDEN: oh wait we can't...
🤣🤣🤣🤣 idk why, but that part was funny af
Same 😂
It was sad, but also funny in the sense that we understand why it happened; while Jen is still stuck in the darkness of knowing why. Also he is or was the only one who could solve it at this time.
That part stung... Too soon... ALWAYS too soon.... (See what I did there...?)
Also a genius way to not spoil it :D
Funny or not he ruined a very emotional moment actually ...
The scene where Dumbledore breaks down in the cave from drinking the potion is actually a lot darker and way more sad in the books. It is truly heart breaking.
The whole series is just way more in depth and darker, which is a given since reading a book is way longer Than watching a movie.
"Is Snape a villain or not?!"
"I don't know, let's ask Dumbledore. Oh wait, we can't."
The laughter exploded out
Harry using spells on Draco: *almost kills him*
Harry using spells on Voldemort: *expelliarmus*
Would... would harry using the spell he used against draco work on Voldemort?
@@mitchellbarnes8080 I have an answer to this, but I don't wanna post it right now because it delves slightly into spoiler territory for the next few movies and I don't wanna do that. Will post an answer after they finish the series.
I wish to learn too, commenting on this
@@sith_slayer6849 Ooh yeah I'll be here for that
I'm popping my comment here so I can get notified of that answer
Hi! Fun fact:
Did you know Luna Lovegood’s actress, Evanna Lynch, was battling an eating disorder and was a massive Harry Potter fan. She started exchanging letters with J.K.Rowling before getting the role.She said the Harry Potter books were "The only thing that could actually take my attention apart”.
oh yeah what a fun fact
She was perfect for the role of Luna! Exactly how I imagined her from reading the books 💖
"Where are the Dementors?"
Book 6 pretty much reveals that once Voldemort was revealed to be alive he no longer did things in the shadows and gathered all his allies and dark creatures to his side including the Dementors who abandoned Azkaban Prison.
ALSO PRINCE is the name of Snape's Mother's Family name. So technically his nickname is named after his Mother who was a witch. His Dad was a Muggle thus Half-Blood.
Why did the dementors join him though?
@@Tooba-K123 they joined him in the first war and joined him again i think he promises them stuff not sure what exactly he also has giants on his side.
Why did in Book 3 did Hogwarts openly allow the dementors to roam the school and also suck harrys soul?
@@skarmachild They only sucked Harry's soul because of the trauma he had suffered and foreshadowing of him having a Horcrux inside him as they were attracted to that.
@@skarmachild they were allowed there to protect and look for serius since they knew he'll come for harry thats why
In the book Tonks is super depressed because Remus doesn't think he deserves her because of his werewolf status and she loves him. And him her, but he is keeping away from her. I love the two of them. This book is where they get together. Also, the movie leaves out the whole thing that Fleur Delacour from Goblet of Fire is engaged to Bill Weasley, the oldest Weasley and they met when Harry was in the tournament. A TON of the story of Harry and Ginny is left out of the movies making their relationship come out of left field. The movie tries to make up for that by showing Ginny run after Harry at the Burrow when he goes after Bellatrix. In that way, they show how strong her feelings are that she's willing to risk her life. Also, Ginny is POWERFUL. Because she is the 7th child and 7 is a hugely significant number in magic. Which is also why Tom Riddle wanted to split his soul into 7 parts. The movies are the exposed portion of the iceberg. The books are the 80% below the surface that you don't see. I have NO judgement at all for people that don't read the books. Some people just don't and that's fine, but I definitely recommend. Even on audiobooks. The books hold the true magic.
Malfoy the whole movie: "Don't be suspicious. Don't Be Suspicious. DONT BE SUSPICOUS! DONT BE SUSPICIOUS!!"
imma kms now
@@A.jmmmm04 Why
Correction: Malfoy the Whole Movie "My Father Will hear about this! My Father will hear about this! My Father will hear about this!"
The fact that Jen got all of that information about snapes character without dialog speaks to the great Alan Rickman and his performance...RIP. Great video as always!
As….. Always
;-)
In the books, that train scene where Luna finds Harry was actually supposed to be Tonks, her role was so much bigger but it made sense to change things for the movies
In my opinion I actually really like this movie change, it adds a lot to Luna's character
@@luciamusic3821 I disagree. So many thingas they changed in the this movie weren''t as good compared to the books.
@@mikel6090 That's fair enough, but the Luna change on the train was a great decision I think
Imagine how Harry’s feeling right now. He absolutely disliked Snape since he entered Hogwarts, but when he asked about his loyalty, Dumbledore always said that Snape was on their side, so he couldn’t create theories that he was loyal to Voldemort and could only dislike him because of the way he treated him. And then this happens, Snape betrays the man Harry admired the most and kills him off, proving to be a bad guy. The “HE TRUSTED YOU!” represents it so perfectly because now Harry doesn’t dislike Snape, he HATES Snape, because he’s proven being not a man who mistreats a student, but a despicable human being.
He's hated Snape since the end of the Order of the Phoenix because he felt Snape got Sirius killed. Theres a passage at the end when Snape confronts him when he faces Malfoy saying "He felt a surge of anger and loathing, far more than anything he had for Malfoy. No matter what Dumbledore said, he would never, ever forgive Snape."
That being said, I do find what you said intriguing because funnily enough, Snape felt the same way at that point which makes that sequence all the more powerful.
Snape disliked Harry from the day he entered Hogwarts when seeing so much of James Potter, the man who tormented him throughout his childhood in him. But then as time went on, Harry sought more glory and fame (from Snape's POV we know this isn't true). Yet, under Dumbledore's orders, he spent his entire life protecting Harry who wouldn't never give him credit for it and likely still hate him. He was forced to teach Harry Occlumency, who never listened or learned, and ultimately, took advantage of Snape while he was gone and saw the worst moments of his life in the Pensieve. Snape risked everything, living a life nobody would want to live and being a triple agent, lying directly to the most powerful dark wizard ever, only to find out all his work to protect Harry was all for nothing as Dumbledore was planning Harry's death anyway. He promised Dumbledore he'd do anything if Dumbledore protected Lily. Dumbledore failed his end of the bargain because of Wormtail, and Snape lived the rest of his life with his end. Snape watched Harry claim brilliance in Potions using his old work and used Snape's own magic to harm Malfoy, who he had sworn an Unbreakable Vow to protect. Snape saved Dumbledore's life from the ring yet would then have to kill him under Dumbledore's own orders, and take the blame for the murder of the man he saved and play a dangerous part, in which he nearly sacrificed everything he ever fought for. Which is why he was so enraged when Harry called him a coward. Snape was not a coward. He risked everything to protect Harry who he never expected to acknowledge or forgive as part of the plan but calling him a coward particularly enraged Snape.
In the book, Harry gave the winnings from the Goblet of Fire to the Weasly twins, also how they started making a lot of magical candies in the previous film.
i thought he gave them some money he had left over from his family
@@user-ck8pk5kq3x no it was the triwizard winnings. He tried to give to cedrics parents first. When they declined he basically threatened the twins to take it.
He gave away his Triwizard Tournament winnings away because he can’t fathom using it on his own knowing that he was supposed to split it with Cedric, who died and that his parents didn’t want to take his share either.
And also, he asked the twins to buy Ron a set of dress robes, so he doesn’t have to use the hideous one he wore at the Goblet of Fire ball anymore. ☺️
Ron’s dress robes were dope af. I’d have worn those everywhere.
Harry and Ginny's relationship is one of the things that most people agree was done a disservice from the books. Book Ginny is feisty, a spit fire, doesn't take shit from anyone. She had character beyond a few lines spoken to Harry.
One particular moment that is the best example I can think of is in the Half Blood Prince after Harry and Ginny become an item.
Ginny sitting in the common room with Harry, Ron, and Hermione reading a book "All these attacks by Death Eaters and all (insert girl's name here) is interested in is whether Harry has a tattoo of a Hippogriff on his chest."
Harry: "What did you tell her?"
"I told her it was a Hungarian Horntail. More manly."
Ron irritated says something about how he doesn't want to hear about this.
Ginny: "Don't worry Ron, I told her you had one of a Pygmy Puff, but I didn't tell her where."
And their first kiss as well! Ginny kissed Harry in a room full of people, that is literally the opposite from the movie
@@renaissancevenus2978 Harry kissed Ginny in the commonroom after they won the quidditch cup. She just ran up to him and hugged him and in that moment Harry took the initiative and kissed her.
I always liked the Hermione and Ginny friendship that you kind of get more into here as well
Yeah, I liked their relationship was better in the books.
@@Ri_Shin_Marco oh really? It must’ve been a long time since I’ve read it 😅 Always thought Ginny kissed him first
I love how intelligent and aware / intuitive Jen is. She's the perfect new pair of eyes to view these movies through.
I don't know how it is across the board, but among people I know I've noticed a trend where Half Blood Prince is often in the top two favourite movies of people who haven't read the books, but one of the least favourites among people who have on account of how much they cut.
All the movies drop things from the books due to time constraints, such as Hermione's campaign for Elf rights in book 4-5, Dobby joining the Hogwarts staff in book 4 or minor teachers, such as the centaur teacher, Firenze in book 5 - but the Half Blood Prince movie feels at times like its adapting the Wiki summary page of the book rather than the book itself given how much they cut. The book explored the story of Voldemort's origin and rise to power ahead of the first war and Snape's background, which feel rather important to the overarching story of the series - but barring the scene at the orphanage and the flashback of Snape being bullied by James, they cut out so much to make way for teenage romantic hijinks, including the awkward, made for movie only scene, about shoelace tying. When I saw this in the cinema back in the day, I had to explain to my friends in the lobby afterwards why Snape was the Half-Blood Prince, which, given the movie is named after him, seems a big failing on the movie's part.
That said, I do find Ron and Lavander's interactions pretty funny, but I just wish if they were going to focus on the romance at the expense of Voldemort's origin, they'd have put more effort into it than having Ginny tie Harry's shoelaces.
I agree! Book 6 is my absolute favourite as it unveils a lot of the background events that lead to the things happening during Harry’s time at Hogwarts and where we see all the characters being way more grown up in the way they act and in their decisions. I don’t know why they cut almost all of it out of the movie, it was the worst choice they could make! And as you said I despise the movie for this reason, ever since I’ve seen it the first time in theatre. No wonder all the people that have never read the books are so confused at the end of it 🤷🏻♀️
I agree. They cut the wrong stuff and added unnecessary scenes. First of all, redo the entire Christmas sequence as that 15 minutes was completely different and most of it was unnecessary wether it be the shoelace stuff or the Burrow burning down. Add in the Gaunt memory and a few of the others like job request and Hepzibah Smith and spend more time focusing on the Half-Blood Prince's book and who figuring out who he is.
The reveal in the book was brutal because the Prince was someone Harry connected with, defended, and that helped him throughout the entire year wether it was to save Ron or impress Slughorn. And then it turns out he was not only the man who sold out his parents, but also that killed his greatest guardian/mentor. In the movie its like: "wait what?" What's the Half-Blood Prince again? Is that just supposed to be the title of this movie.
because theyre judging it as a harry potter movie. not based off "how good is the harry potter book adaptation."
Idk why everyone forgets about this but also that shoe tie shouldn’t have been a thing as well as the attack on the weasleys home??? Why tf would they attack their house????? And they chose to do that instead of the huge battle at the end of the movie??? The priorities in this movie were just so confusing to me because literally they make the half blood prince thing not very important and they take out so much of Tom riddles past which is literally crucial for the horcruxes and changed the entire horcrux thing in later movies. And then they focused MAINLY on awkward romances ?? Like I get them focusing on harry and Ginny bc this is the book they get together. But they made it sooooo fuckin awkward and it came out of nowhere 😭. They ended up focusing more on lavender in what felt like a weird misogynistic thing idk I just didn’t like the direction they went w that. I also kinda wish they’d have done the battle at the end of the book bc it includes stuff like fawkes singing the lament and it really drives home the supposed betrayal on snapes part. Bc everyone feels like it was their fault. I don’t know. I still like this movie a lot but I can’t help but mourn everything that was left out that sooo many ppl will never experience bc they refuse to read the books 😭😭
21:12 After Order of the Phoenix the dementors abandoned Azkaban to join Voldemort like Giants and some other dark creatures because they were his allies when he was in power before his downfall.
Slughorn: HARYYYY!
Harry: SIRRRR!!
That always gets me
Also I really cannot wait for the reaction for the next 2. Gotta wait 2 weeks 😭
Yeah that sirr 😂
"suhrrrrrrr!" :D
Best part of the movie is when he drinks the luck lol!
Tonks is definitely a fun character! Wish they would have included more of her in the films, but understand why they didn't.
Interesting tidbit about Tonks: Her mother, Bellatrix Lestrange, and Narcissa Malfoy (Bleach Box's mom) are all sisters.
I wish holden didnt have any reaction to snape I remember watching his story unfold and was one of the best parts of the final movies

When Holden looks in the camera after Jen asks a question we all know the answer to… best moments of this entire channel.
At first, this wasn't really my favorite at all, but when it dropped on HBO in late 2009, It played non-stop on every HBO and Cinemax channel... and I ended up watching it every time, so now I've seen it the most out of every movie. Initially, I thought it was too slow for me, and visually dark (especially if you watch it during the day, with a lot of light) but now, I love what it does here, and the look of it (It really shows how hazy and foggy the UK area can be lol)
Unfortunately, the movies cut a bit, and especially these later ones hurt the most from it, like minor story lines that become important for context, and minor character beats that were removed, by are treated as actually happening. Even if I didn't know this beforehand, I can feel things skipped over.
Especially agree on the dark part, back in the day I bought a DVD of this film and tried watching it in the afternoon, and save to say apart from Alan Rickman's face it was more or less impossible to make out what was on the TV.
I saw this movie 3 times, and it felt.short as hell. No idea what it was. Good movie, but it feels, no joke, like an hour and a half.
yeah, the later movies really suffered from stuff getting cut (especially some of the seemingly smaller stuff from the earlier ones)
obviously, it doesn't ruin the movies, but it's still a problem for many (including myself)
Yeah that's how movies work , we cant have 10 hour movies so ...

In the movies his chemistry with Luna was much better, and as someone unfamiliar with the books I was quite mad to see that it went nowhere and he ended up with Ginny instead.
As someone who read only the first two books, Ginny was always my pick for Harry.
Luna certainly called that into question, though. Such a delightful character!
@@Quotenwagnerianer His chemistry with Hermione is better too. I honestly felt (In the movies) Harry and Hermione had better chemistry than Ron and Hermione.
@@Quotenwagnerianer yeah the books showed luna and harrys friendship as more like siblings and made harry and ginnys relationship actually develop, but the mvovies completely took away ginnys personality and made it seem so boring
As someone who haven't even read the books, I totally feel Ginny and Harry were great together since 2nd movie. I would've liked Harry and Luna but sure I liked their dynamic together as friends.

The spell Harry was asking about from the book was made by Snape. So they wouldn’t have known what it was anyway. And it’s also why Snap (edit: Snape) knew how to undo the spell
It's even more interesting that the incantation he uses is "Vulnera sanentur", which is correct latin for "the wounds are being healed".
Snap??
Honestly i don't think you can heal whatever Sectumsempra does to you. It's black magic and in the book they couldn't regrow George's ear when Snape cut it off and the literal translation is something like "cut off forever". I just think Malfoy was lucky Harry didn't aim at his limbs or other extremities.
@@tofu8676 snape knows the counter curse because he made the original. Obviously he would want a way to reverse what the spell does
@@tofu8676 Snape can heal it because he invented both the spell and the counter-spell. Others can't.
The biggest change from book to movie is in the book, they explore a lot more of Tom Riddle's back story. For example, they already know in Half Blood Prince the the cup of Hufflepuff was also turned into a horcrux, but have no idea where it was hidden. Looking at memories related to younger Tom Riddle, they are able to deduce the following horcruxes: Diary (Destroyed in Chamber of Secrets), The Gaunt family ring (Discovered and destroyed by Dumbledore immediately before beginning of book 6), The locket of Slytherin (Originally hidden in the cave, current whereabouts unknown), the cup of Hufflepuff (location unkown), and two others with a strong likelihood of one of them having a connection to Ravenclaw. Voldemort had also been trying to recover the sword of Gryffindor to turn into one, but had been unable to retrieve it. That is the most important thing from book 6 that did not make it into the movie.
Try getting the audiobooks of Harry Potter by Jim Dale. He’s a former actor in old classics like Hot Lead and Cold Feet. You’ll get loads more details and enjoy it along the way. I will add that he is (or was) a fantastic actor.
Voldemort had recruited the Dementors, that’s why they aren’t at Hogwarts.
Also the corruption within the Ministry of Magic, yes?
The biggest thing I missed from the books was Harry finding out that Snape was the one that told Voldemort about the prophecy which led to him killing Harry’s parents. Harry truly hates Snape at this point. He almost wasn’t able to go with Dumbledore at the end
Its in the movies but its a throaway line in a specific scene
@@justarandomveryintelligent8934 really. In the theatre version or the tv version
@@kellypitts8481 theater. Im not gonna mention the scene cause it would be spoilers for jen
When Harry screams at Snape, "HE TRUSTED YOU!" One of my favorite scenes in the entire franchise. (And yes, before the book readers chime in, I'm aware that scene is even better in the books. I've read it lol. The movie scene still gives me chills though)
Also, just wanted to say I agree with a lot of the other comments. Holden is reacting and saying way too much when it comes to Snape. Whereas with the MCU reactions he just completely shut himself down to not spoil anything. I feel like he makes face gestures and says certain things during the movie and in the post-convo whenever Jen asks about Snape, and I wish he kinda closed up the vault a little bit.
“Hope you’re not attached to Ron”
Brought to you by, Savage! For when being just plain old mean isn’t enough.
Fun fact: The green tint to the film during flashback scenes with young Tom Riddle are a nod to the fact that Riddle was the heir of Slytherin.
What do you mean nod? it's an aesthetic that made sense, yes.
@@crappymcdick a nod? A throwback basically.
@@rynss That phrasing doesn’t make sense in this context. It’s like saying “the filmmakers lit this film with happy tones as a nod to a happy feeling” like no, it’s just a filmmaking choice that was appropriate, not a nod.
cry more lmao@@crappymcdick
I'm soooo glad Jen loved this one! This movie is one of my favorites. Also would like to point out that the music score for this movie is breathtaking! It's SO good!
I don't like this one it's a abomination to the book the 5th movie is the the best tied with the 8th novie
This is literally the worst of them, the entire narrative was sacrificed on the altar of teen drama.
This one is definitely not my favorite but I will say that this one had one of the best scores and cinematography of the series
The 5th and final one are my favorites too
@@Jo-fk1be Exactly the 5th book wasnt amazing it was to long but the movie was amazing and the deathly hallows part 2 oh my god it was perfect
Holden's "that would really such if they killed off anyone else" got me weak. Seeing Jen lose her mind while Holden is toying with her is hilarious.
Honestly this whole movie series did not do justice to Ginny's character. She is soo badass in the books, funny and strong. Her and Harry's relationship is awesome. It's just so sad she got so little screen time during the movies.
Horace Slughorn was played by James Broadbent. According to imdb, he's amassed 166 movie roles to his credit from 1971 to the present. He's appeared in the two Paddington movies, Hot Fuzz, Brazil, Gangs of New York and Moulin Rouge.
For those who read the books, the movie put in a different Harry introduction scene. The novel's was great where Dumbledore visits the Dursley's to take Harry with him. Before he chastises the Aunt and Uncle, he offers them drinks of mead and when they don't take them, they start to annoyingly knock against their heads. I regret they didn't use that and instead had Harry reading the Daily Prophet in public to where the counter girl remarks on thinking she saw the images in the photographs moving.
Also missing from the movie was the first battle at Hogwarts; the battle that disfigured Bill Weasley's face after an attack by the main bad werewolf who had not transformed during the attack. This werewolf was also the one that bit Remus Lupin when he was a boy -- Fenrir Greyback.
Because of the compression of time for a movie running time, a few other flashbacks regarding Tom Riddle was omitted; my favorite showed his Grandfather, mother and uncle. I truly hope someone decides to mount a miniseries in the future (and my lifetime) that is faithful to the novels. Those who grew up on the movies would be very surprised to see scenes and characters the movies omitted.
Supposedly, Daniel was buzzed on alcohol for a portion of the movie's filming. I don't notice it and in fact I like his performance, especially after taking the liquid luck.
I enjoyed this reaction video a lot. The look of suppressed mischief and glee on your face, Holden, was priceless as you had to keep up the subterfuge so as not to spoil her enjoyment of discovery during the final two movies.
Jim Broadbent is an impeccable actor who never has a bad performance no matter the quality of the work he's in.
I agree with you 100%. My hope is that hbomax, which is owned by Warner Bros. and in turn has the film rights, will do a series more closely true to the books, with the shorter books like “Stone” being 3 or 4 episodes and OotP having a full 10 or 12 episodes. We’re closely approaching the 20th anniversary of the release of the “Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone” movie and a reboot announcement would really hit the spot, like a warm, frothy butterbeer on a chilly Hogsmeade weekend.
@@bobbyclarkston8836 I doubt she sold anything other than the rights for production of the films that were made. She didn't sell the rights to make a tv series at least.
@@wyterabitt2149 perhaps not, but who better to strike a deal with than the company that brought her characters to the screen in the first place? This is all wishful thinking on my part of course. I haven’t read or heard of any sort of reboot talk concerning the films or a series that approaches being concrete.
Did he not just pass away this year
Fun little differences I remember from the books off the top of my head:
1. The whole death eater attack at the Burrow(Weasly's house) was not in the books they put that in to have a little more action in the middle of the movie.
2. In the book there are a lot more memories that Harry sees through the Pensieve, a lot of backstory on Voldemort's family and how he was conceived under a love potion which is the reason why he is devoid of it.
3. At the end of the book after dumbledore is murdered, there is quite a battle/skirmish that breaks out between the death eaters who infiltrated Hogwarts and lots of students and teacher which was also cut from this movie to I think make this movie end on pretty much a sad note.
4. Dumbledore had an entire funeral in the books where there were a few bits of exposition given about what Harry's plan was etc, also cut.
5. In the books they also reveal that Snape overheard Trelawny's prophecy about the one who can vanquish the Dark lord being born at the end of July, at that time 2 people were born: Neville Longbottom and Harry Potter. This leading into the part where Voldemort went after the Potter's whose location was revealed by Peter Pettigrew because he believed Harry to be the chosen one. Edit: Bellatrix went after the Longbottoms after Voldemort's defeat.
Yea Voldermort’s mom technically r*ped Tom Riddle Sr
Bellatrix doesn't go after Neville at the same time as Voldemort goes after Harry. Voldemort decided that Harry was the one so the Potters were in hiding for about a year until Sirius and Peter switched the Secret Keeper role. Voldemort went straight after Harry (well, he waited for Halloween) and the events we all know so well played out. It was only when Voldemort fell that the LeStranges and Barty Jr went after Alice and Frank. They seemed to think that they would know what had happened on that fateful night and where Voldemort had gone. Neville wasn't even a concern of the Death Eaters, they just wanted their leader back.
He isnt devoid of love.
Last point, bellatrix didn’t go after longbottoms due to prophecy to kill potential chosen one Neville. Voldemort was defeated and they went there to torture information out of the longbottoms who they thought would know, but they gave no information anyway so they were driven to the state of mind described worse than death.
@@denizkenger52 Yes, he is devoid of love.
I wish tonks was more present in the movie. This book had a whole subplot about her trying to get with Remus Lupin and he keeps avoiding and rejecting her (mostly because of the werewolf thing, but also quite a big age difference). It’s so sweet and I love that they get together and have a baby boy, Teddy! And Harry becomes Teddy’s godfather!
The farewell to Dumbledore always gives me chills, it is such a beautiful moment between the score and everyone crying and raising their wands to light up the sky and destroy the mark, and I recall in some theaters people were using their phones and lights, it was so amazing seeing that.
Jen: "They have a connection"
Yep. Death.
Well, she ain't wrong.
When Jen said "mine sounds Jamaican" it reminded me of Joey saying "The south will rise again man!" xD
All I can say is that after watching the last two movies and then seeing this one again I see it from a completely different perspective. The one word from Dumbledore "Please" is so crucial. This one is also one of my favorites.
From what I remember and what I've heard (I've read the books only once), Ginny is a lot more apparent in the books, showing her ferocity and her spirit. In the movies she is in the background for the most part.
Holden's teasers and faces are so great man, that stare...
My reaction when I received the notification : "Oh Gooooody ! Can't wait to see Jen's raction to the end ^^"
I love the names that Jen gives to all the characters that she encounters...: Bleach -box, Sparrow, Mr Q....Superb! Also love it when Holden has the inside scoop when Jen makes a prediction...and Holden gives us all 'the look'...Can't wait to see what Jen thinks of The Deathly Hallows PT 2! Great Channel.
Holden pulls a jim halpert
THE CREEPER RETURNS
Jenns reaction to Dumbledore dying is the greatest amount of shock I’ve seen in the My Gf reacts videos and I’m LIVING for it😅💅🏽☀️💛
"looks like it's gonna be a white Christmas Ginny" had me dying 😂😂
It's fun watching Holden make the little looks throughout when Jen asks questions he can't answer (yet), but I also don't like it cuz it kinda tells her that there is more to this without actually telling her.
True but sometimes it does lead to nothing so she doesn't actually knoe
I don’t like it at all. He needs to stop doing that. It’s very compulsive for him to wink at the camera. Every time Jen gets a glimpse of it her natural state of thought gets tampered with.
@@reggiemartin6709 Yeah, it's incredibly annoying. It was all made right when she said, "You made me second-guess" because obviously that means she's aware that Snape is actually evil.
Until he keeps making faces just seconds after it. Which takes from the incredible moment when we realize he was a good man after all. Yeah she doesn't know for sure, but it takes away from the impact. Every time it's just annoying.
Is he with Luna? - Perhaps *face*
Is Hermione and Ron a thing? - Perhaps *face*
Is Snape a bad guy? - Yes *face*
It's so annoying and really takes us away from the video. It was funny when he maybe did it once a movie and she wasn't aware. But she is aware now and she looks at him because he exaggerates those faces so much to the point that even the dogs probably look at him.
@@benboom910 how's that annoying? It's pretty funny
@@reggiemartin6709 Isn't it Jen's fault for constantly asking questions about things that will obviously be answered later on? I'd be way more annoyed with Jen than Holden, who tries to make those weird situations funny.
I'm pretty sure the why Snape was protecting Malefoy was explained in the books, which is that if he broke the vow that Malefoy's mom made him swear to protect him he would just die, because that's how the spell works
Yes. Bellatrix was doubting Snapes loyalty to Voldemort, so he took the Unbreakable Vow to "complete Dracos task if Draco is unable to" to prove he was loyal... without actually knowing what the task was. So he spent most of the book trying to weasel the information out of Draco, who incorrectly thought that Snape wanted to "steal his glory" by just doing it himself.
Jen's reaction is testament to Alan Rickman's acting.
"It looks like it's gonna be a white Christmas Ginny" and Jen took a second to catch the double sense hahahaha
Holden’s quick face change when Jen looked at him while he was looking at the camera had me rolling. 😂 5:57
"But wouldn't that be crazy if they just killed him" I bursting out laughing when holden said this
J.K at one point actually planned to kill Ron off in the series. She was really struggling with the fame and pressure that the success of HP had brought her and thought she would kill off one of the Trio out of spite for everyone hounding her for the next book. Obviously, she changed her mind and went back to the original plan, but that would have been wild if Ron had died in the final book.
In the book, Harry and Ginny were together for most of the spring and Harry was very happy. After Harry decided he wasn’t coming back for year 7 he broke up with Ginny. He was afraid Voldemort would come after her to get to Harry.
About Butterbeer: It's introduced in the Prisoner of Azkaban book when the kids first go to Hogsmeade. It's supposed to instantly warm up the drinker after they come in from the snow. And in the Goblet of Fire, Barty Crouch sr. has a house elf that he fires, and she goes to work at Hogwarts in the kitchens with the other house elves and she becomes an alcoholic that drinks too many butterbeers. Someone says that since house elves are so much smaller than humans the effects after several butterbeers are like being drunk for an elf.
But what does it taste like?we were never told
Holden's reactions kinda ruins it a bit when Jen starts to figure out stuff because of it.
I feel like this comment only comes from people who already know what’s coming and can put Holden’s reactions into that context. Jen doesn’t have that foresight, so Holden’s expressions will only be met with more confusion. I really think it doesn’t matter much and Jen has been known to pick up on major things herself just by analyzing the acting performances. It’s much more entertaining to see Holden drive Jen wild with those faces. She’s not a mind-reader.
@@levischorpioen
But if he made no face or anything, she wouldn't be able to figure anything out at all.
@@patrickesdam4233 I feel like that’s severely underestimating both Jen’s intelligence and the films’ predictability, but I also feel like discussions like these are like talking to a brick wall, so I’ll just let people think what they want to think and hope it doesn’t influence the fun the actual content creators are having.
@@levischorpioen
So why even bring it up?
Yea, he basically telegraphs that there's going to be a twist, instead of letting it play out naturally and having it catch her by surprise.
The books were so much better at fleshing out side characters and stories like Remus and Tonks, The Marauders, Sirius, Fred & George and the Weasleys, Moody etc etc
Your dp is spoiling next movie
Here we go again, the ever-lasting thing of comparing books to on-screen book adaptations. Books are always gonna be more detailed.
The movies portrayed Sirius wrong I agree. They portrayed him to be a good person, even though he was a bad person on the good side imo.
@@denizkenger52 The question becomes: Is that a bad change?
@@44r0n-9 i think its a really bad change. They should’ve shown how much of an asshole he is.
This has always been one of my favorite books and movies. While it is one of the adaptations that left the most book material on the cutting room floor, I’ve always thought that this one captured the essence of the book it is based on the best out of any of the Potter films. I cannot wait to see a Jen react to Deathly Hallows.
McGonagall: Professor Dumbledore... You meant a great deal to him...
I can't describe how powerful and heartbreaking these words have always been to me. I'm so so happy that you included this scene into your reaction video
Daniel has admitted he was drinking during a lot of these scenes that’s why he seems funny in the background
Daniel is pretty bad i this movie, the drinking shows
"luna and harry have a great connection!"
yea death...
Jen: "Is Snape a villain or not?"
Me to nobody in the room: I'm 90% sure I saw that on a poster at Borders Bookstore before Book 7 came out.
Luna Lovegood is the best character by far. She's the most relatable to me, *especially* in the books.
Luna and Harry had much more chemistry in the movies than Ginny and Harry
Yeah. Jinny's and Harry's relationship was one of the things they fucked up in the movies. In the book, their first kiss was much better when she runs towards him in the common room, and he just goes for it.
Totally. When my friends who read the books said: "Nah they are just friends", I was like: "Whaat? Luna is perfect for Harry!"
Ginny have no development in movie at all
@@Quotenwagnerianer They are just friends tho lol
They totally butchered Ginny's character in the movies
She is so bold, confident and talented in the books
In the movies she's just there
No character depth whatsoever
Bonnie Wright did great acting but still
it’s so wild to me that they did that to her bc Bonnie in real life is so much like book Ginny it’s crazy
@@Linsey009 ikr
Like they literally made a scene on shoelaces
Seriously!!
@@Linsey009 they could have done this scene from the book
*Ginny* (to Harry): 3 dementor attacks in a week and all Romilda Vain does is ask me if you’ve got a hippogriff tattooed on your chest
(Ron and hermione dying laughing)
Harry: what did you tell her?
Ginny: I said it’s a Hungarian horntail. Much more macho
Harry: thanks. And what did you tell her Ron has got
Ginny: A pigmy puff, but I didn’t say where
😂😂😂
Totally agree. Ginny was far more interesting in the books.
she also dated half hogwarts, while the only one harry being kissed by was a dementor
Holden is kinda killing everything with his spoiler reactions. I had already seen all the films when I introduced this to my wife. My wife is very similar with asking questions and looking at me for reactions but I stayed shut. The pay off of her reaction to all the twists was satisfying to see since I didn't lead her on to the plot or make her question things. All love though. Will continue watching but it won't hold the same satisfaction when she watches the final 2.
I love watching your videos at night time before I go to sleep. Always top quality content.
Jen: I hope they all just stay friends…
Also Jen: I’M HERE FOR IT
Jen during POA: I'm don't ship Ron and Hermione! They are good as friends!!!
Jen during HBP: Romione 💯💯!!!!!!!
😂😂😂😂
When I was reading this book for the first time (I think I was 15-16yo) and got to the part where Dumbledore died, i violently closed the book, threw it on the floor with tears streaming down my face. My mom apparently had heard the “ruckus” and asked me what’s wrong, then proceeded to laugh when I told her what happened…. I didn’t touch Half Blood Prince for a solid week!!
I’m now in my early thirties and still feel like this was the most traumatic experience in my life. 😂
HBP is probably my favorite of the books, and ranks up there in the film series. The book delves a lot more into the mystery behind the identity of the Half-Blood Prince, which makes the Snape revelation at the end all that much more impactful
"Looks like its gonna be a white Christmas Ginny" 😂😂
*Jen's Harry Potter Reviews/Rankings:*
*The Half-Blood Prince:*
Didn't see Dumbledore's death. Shocked it was Snape. Why was Snape protecting Malfoy? Team Hermione. Sad to see Hermione upset. Prefers Luna to Ginny, but they have some chemistry. Like Ginny's character. Amusing to watch relationship issues and struggles. Didn't seem like Snape was getting any pleasure from killing Dumbledore? Second favourite. Favourite scene was the locket in the cave. Nervous they're gonna kill someone else off. *8/10*
*My Thoughts:*
I always remember this movie being really boring. But upon rewatching it, it's not actually that bad, I quite like it and I especially like more of the spotlight going on Snape. *7/10*
*Jen's Rankings:*
• The Goblet of Fire *8.5/10*
• *The Half-Blood Prince* *8/10*

@@denizkenger52 Wow. Deathly Hallows part 1 your second favourite?
@@BigScreenMovies i think its better than the others movie wise, not story wise. The actors were much better as actors since they grew up and there were more scenes away from Hogwarts which I enjoyed seeing.
So yeah, id prefer to watch others instead but due to the stories, but regarding them as movies without considering stories, these are my ratings. So I wouldn’t prefer watching a higher rated one compared to a low rated one at times like Id prefer watching PoA but regarding the movies for how good they showed what was supposed to be shown, i do have to rate DH higher than those i would rather watch like CoS and PoA.
"But I feel like there's some development coming for him [Snape]"
Oh.....oh, my sweet summer child
i look forward to these every week! appreciate all the effort that goes into editing these
Luna is such a fun character, I love her as well.
My biggest problem with this movie is that they only showed 2 of the memories that dumbledore and Harry watched together. In the book there were like 6 of them and they were all really interesting.
I agree. They should have focused in all these memories and Voldemorts past instead of giving us so many romantic moments and that
I used to like Holden’s smirks at the camera but not anymore. He might as well be telling her the truth at this point 🤦🏻♂️
Nah it never gets old , plus it's better for Jen to find out herself instead of Holden spoiling it.
@@Drugstorecowboy8 Yeah that was my point… The smirks basically alluded to the fact that things aren’t as they seem on screen (e.g. red herrings). A few times during the series Jen knew something was off because of Holden and not because she figured it out herself.
Holden your face when Jen is shocked and you’re trying to play it cool KILLS me
"Dumbledore is gay"
"HOW DO YOU KNOW?"
Oh boy, here we go
Because... Rowling said that right after the 7th book was released back in 2007. Its never confirmed in the book, but its definitely possible, in his relationship with Grindelwald. He said he was "blinded by love," and that stopped him from seeing Grindelwald's true colors, which could definitely mean he was in love with Grindelwald.
This book was my favorite for a very long time. And, to be honest, the first time I saw this movie, it enraged me!
Big changes scene:
Book:
Dumbeldore petrified Harry during his death scene. He was also hidden in a corner, under his invisibility cloak.
Snape didn’t interact with Harry in this moment. He walked in, Dumbeldore says his, “Severus, please” line, and Snape just kills him.
The book makes it so much more painful for Harry, because he could literally do nothing.
Note: This isn’t the only reason I disliked the movie at first. Just one of the biggest.
I’ve since grown to accept the movieverse is it’s own thing, and the books are always there to revisit as well.
The book also involves much many people like Neville Luna and u know many people like if they had adapted the scene where Harry tells Ron and Hermione to watch over Hogwarts and the following battle
@@sudhirraghav2157 the book only involves Neville like once and thats towards the end.
Same
@@denizkenger52 I am not saying they play big roles but they are constantly present in the books
Not just this movie. In All the movies too
Dumbledore death scene is so well acted all around. It’s outstanding!!
The only thing better than Holden making faces at the camera is Jen sussing the faces out!! 🤣🤣
I honestly can’t stand the faces lol
