"I won't be here... But Hagrid will" will always break my heart. RIP to this amazing human being.
I sob every time it gets to that part
that line caught me off guard. I got emotional for a minute
It gets me every time
Hearing that was really heart tugging.
😭💔
“I will not be here sadly, but Hagrid will…yes.”
I cry every single time. 😢
Me too 😭
Same 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Rip Robbie Coltrane, Richard Harris, Verne Troyer, Richard Griffiths, Helen McCorry, Leslie Philips, Robert Hardy, John Hurt, Timothy Bateson, Robert Knox and Alan Rickman, and all other cast members that have passed away, you did something special here, and you will live on forever in Harry Potter.
Edit: September 27th 2023 we lost Michael Gambon, RIP
Hear hear. However, Gambon is still very much alive
❤ Michael Gambon hasn't passed away, thankfully!
@@Didgetsh on Google it said he was dead, I had to Google for the spelling of the names, I actually used to live in the same town as him😂
🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
Verne troyer was never in harry potter
Fun fact: The actor who played Luna also partially contributed to how she was written in the later books!
That’s literally so cool
Is that possible? Her first film came out in 2007, same year as the deathly hallows book
@@rickrossstretchmarks Yeah she wrote to J.K. Rowling and then she ended up getting cast in the Luna role but then Rowling asked for her input while writing deathly hallows. Then both her first movie and the final book came out in the same year. It’s kind of complicated but I would search up the full story it’s really cool
Now that is a piece of real magic in this world, what the heck?
I cried so hard when Robbie said he'll not be here sadly, and then him actually passing away not that long after was so heartbreaking. Makes that part even more heartbreaking than before.
21:50 "There could have been really interesting side stories if Hermione and Draco got together"
If only Alex had any idea about insane amount of fanfiction on this topic....This is so on spot lol
Draco only had about 32 minutes screen time between all the movies but still made a large impact.
Fr Tom Felton to me is a perfect Draco. In that 32 minutes he definitely captivated me with his performance. I loved him as Julian Albert in The Flash as well.
WHAT? 32 minutes?!
@@drumaticpageofmusic4148 yep
Woah that feels like nothing! 😱 how?!
He did such a good job even as a child with every second he had. His scenes are usually very remembered and quotable which is crazy if you think about it. This series did a great job casting
I find it lowkey hilarious that both Jason Isaacs and Ralph Fiennes were initially reluctant to accept their roles in HP, but they ultimately did 'cause of their children/nephews. I also love the common theme of everyone reading the books like crazy and being already invested in this Hogwarts world.
And then Ralph’s nephew WAS in HP as well 😊
Richard Harris didn't want to audition until his granddaughter threatened to never talk to him again.
Alex, there are many people here who have already seen the films countless times, to re-react to them would not be weird at all. love the content.
Definitely, would love if he did a rewatch!
Just gunna second this, again!!!
Yep! A re-watch wouldn't be that bad, I'd probably actually watch that ahah
it would bring me LIFE to see him rewatch these. No one does that but they miss so much the first time through!
nah facts
RIP Robbie Coltrane... "I won't be here sadly... but Hagrid will!" It breaks my heart.
Those words broke me
I'd watch an "Alex's second time watching HP" series. You absolutely get different things each time you watch.
Swear!! I do everytime n I watched them 3 times 4 now since I watched it with Alex
up
Hell yeah, do a second watching. That would be sooooo good 😋 I’d watch that!!
When I knew the ending I had to go back to the beginning; everything is different when you know how it turns out.
I would also absolutely watch a rewatch
You don’t understand how quickly I started to bawl my eyes out the first five seconds of watching the reunion…
ikr😢
Same but cried more at Daniel's entrance, knowing they read the last part of the first chapter.
"I'll not be here sadly." ROBBIE WE LOVE YOU FOREVER. YOU GENTLE SOUL, WHO NEVER BROUGHT ANYTHING OTHER THAN JOY FOR EVERYONE YOU WORKED WITH!
Robbie was the reason I single handedly asked my brother who read the books before I did whether Hagrid dies in Deathly Hallows. It was the only spoiler I wanted to know. If JK had killed him off I would have rioted 😂
Cried through this whole thing but after Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid) died, the part where he says that he’ll be gone someday but he’ll live on through the films hits so much harder. Makes me tear up every time and I’m not a crier usually, the Harry Potter series just wraps me up in so much emotion
And you were right, Evanna Lynch auditioned for the role of Luna and they ended up writing her character to more closely resemble her real personality!
The line from Robbie is especially sad when you realize this was probably the last thing he filmed. But yes, Hagrid will live on in our hearts RIP Robbie we love you and we miss you. 😢
😢🪄🪄
R.I.P. 😭
I don't know why Rup and Emma's moment just broke my heart! So sincere love ❤
What was it?? Can you give me the timestamp
@@aayushgupta1265i believe they are speaking about 41:32
Emma crying towards the end broke me in tears. I'm so grateful I was able to grow up alongside with them, I really feel like a part of their family.
dan literally broke me.
One thing i always keep in mind while rewatching the series is how badass Dame Maggie Smith is. She was fighting breast cancer during half-blood prince.
Soo happy that you chose to react to this as well! Glad you enjoyed the series bro! Those of us that grew up with the series really enjoyed watching it with ya!
I had never watched this special goodbye to the series, but when it got to Robbie saying that he hoped the future generations would watch and that Hagrid would always be there even if he wasn't, I cried. It caught me so off-guard. Rest in peace to that lovely man.
Dan Radcliff's smile.... the way it lights up his eyes. These actors, children and adults, were so genuine, so..... real... and that, to me, is what makes them so enduring and endearing for so many years past and so many years to come.
I would PAY for a rewatch tbh. I will never have enough of harry potter
There is a series (available on TH-cam now) called 'creating the world of Harry Potter'. It's the most incredible behind the scenes making of all the movies! I also think you should read the books, there is so much more you get from them than the movies. Also, it's so lovely to see new people fall in love with HP. I grew up with the books so my first time is a distant memory, but watching others experience the world for the first time is almost as good ❤
Yes!! READ THE BOOKS
I remember the anniversary coming out and how emotional I was then. I grew up on Harry Potter. These books were the reason why I learned to read, and they shaped my personality in such an important way.
I still feel incredibly nostalgic whenever I watch these movies or read the books. The anniversary was an emotional gut punch for me. Not just watching all the actors/characters I grew up with again, but seeing how connected they were even after all these years. I felt that too, like meeting a friend again after years, and it's like no time passed at all.
The Harry Potter series will always have a special part in my heart.
Something hilarious to me, is that Daniel, Emma, and Rupert are around the same age now to when they were in the Epilogue In Deathly hallows, +/- 5 years. They were portrayed much more tired and worn down in the films, especially Ron being so heavyset. Always makes me think it would be cool if they digitally remastered the Epilogue with how they look now so its more accurate
What I found was so interesting is that in Harry Potter from oldest to youngest it’s Hermione, Ron and Harry…but in real life it goes Rupert, Dan and then Emma
yea but the actors didnt have to live thru voldemort and the actors dont have children irl. stress can mess a person up man lol
@@WHADATBOYNAMEIS I don’t doubt it! Just something I noticed and thought was interesting
@@WHADATBOYNAMEIS actually Rupert has a daughter and Dan has a son. But yeah they don't have as many children and their kids are nowhere near as old as Ron's and Harry's in the epilogue.
I'm so grateful to have grown up alongside the characters in the movies. From books to films...it was such a journey from kid to teenager to adult. Life changing.
I wasn’t allowed to read the books as a kid because they “promoted witchcraft” so I’m jealous 😂
Dan is a dad now! I can't wait for his kid to watch the movies! ❤
He is? I thought Rupert was a dad, but missed out on Dan...
@Benefacez yes! He's just recently become a dad. Like a few months ago?
Daniel had a little baby boy with Erin Darke in Apríl 2023💙
They want to keep their personal life prívate (understandably), so they didn't announce they were having a baby until March 2023
I grew up with these books and movies. I can’t even begin to explain how emotional I felt watching the reunion. Was great to see you react!
Highly recommend doing a video where you take the sorting hat quiz to see which house you're in.
Also to get his wand type and petronas
Would definitely watch
Yes
This!
I like like he is a mix of hufflepuff and slytherin
seeing your reaction to this is so wholesome... but I can't help myself pausing when certain legends come on the screen and just tear up for a moment or two... I love this and am glad they got to reunite with most of the main cast. RIP to the beloved Richard Harris, Allan Rickman, Robbie Coltrane, Helen McCrory, and so many more!
fr... I always cry during the "in memory" segment.
Also ever since Robbie passed, I cry at the end of Chamber of Secrets, most precious Hagrid moment 💔
Don't get me wrong, anyone who watched Harry Potter, whether it was year by year, or all in a few days, felt big emotions when it ended, but... I think for those who watched it waiting from year to year, for 10 years, it was definitely more devastating, because we literally grew up with Harry Potter. The best time of my life, always ❤
I was 10yo when the first movie came up. The best age for the journey .... but I'm still waiting for my letter 😅🦉✉️
I envy you so much. God I wish I could go back😂 I mean.. even more than I already do.
Agreed. Growing up with them made it feel like we (the audience as kids) were in the movie, returning year after year to the school of Hogwarts, for each new movie along with Harry and the gang. That's why it holds a special place for those of us who grew up with the movies. We actually were like the extension of the movie, we grew attached to the characters and when they died we cried because to us they were just as much friends and family as they were to Harry and the gang. I really am grateful for growing up in the 90s with such great books and movies. Harry Potter will always be a treasure.
100% Agree. I Love Harry Potter So Much!
I remember how exciting it was to watch last three movies on a big screen when they just came out
I just hit your channel and went through all the Harry Potter stuff. Honestly watching it again would be a pleasure. The anticipation and seeing the small stuff makes it more special.
I watched this and cried because it was around the time when hagrid’s actor passed and everything else was just so emotional.
Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much for doing this whole series .... It was like watching them all over for the 1st time and loving watching you have the same experience I had 20+ years ago
I was one of the kids waiting in line when each book was released, and at each midnight showing of each movie as they released. This special will forever be one of the best things given as a fan of any series out there.
I was one of the adults waiting with my kids as cover. lol
@@laurettelaliberte8864I was one of the adults waiting in line at midnight too……I had no kids to use as cover : )
I have watched these films many times, but watching them with you turns them into a brand new experience. Your pure joy is so infectious. Thank you so much.
I agree 100%
I finally delved into the Potter world at a young hearted 53yrs old and am just so happy I did, it fed the child in me that always felt so alone and without a tribe. I get so emotional watching this reunion as it really is crazy how many years they brought everyone joy, between the books and then the movies.
Touching ❤
I've never been able to articulate why Harry Potter meant so much to me, as a now 56 year old woman. But you have just encapsulated it perfectly. Thank you xx
@@brendaedwards6741 awe, thank you, I’m thankful there are others my age that love these books. :)
35:28 I work at a veterinary clinic, and sometimes we do have to handle deceased patients. Many of the people i work with along with myself will often stroke/pet the deceased patient. we like to treat them with the same dignity and respect as though they were alive and so i will often find myself petting and reassuring deceased patients.
Thank you 😭
Harry Potter had a pivotal role in my life . Helped me become the person i am today, and i will forever be grateful . They helped me through my darkest time, and i know i am not alone in this. I don't really can express in words how important this world is to me. I am now an adult, and I still read the books and watch the movies regularly. There is something different about the wizarding world that makes you wanna be a better person and gives you hope when you are down. Always
Its so good to see the Hagrid actor again 😥 RIP Robbie Coltrane
44:29 knowing that Robby has now died makes this even sadder. Completely broke me
I was roughly the same age as Emma was when these movies came out. When the 20th anniversary reunion came out, the literal second the intro music came on, I absolutely lost it and bawled throughout the entire thing.
I turned 11 2 months before the 1st film came out, and it made me pick up a book up for the 1st time to see what happened next.
The way they end it with Snape's scene, "Always" 😭
Loosing Robbie and hearing him in this special just shatters my heart xo RIP Hagrid xo
This special really meant a lot to me after seeing the movies and growing up with it all !
Draco means a lot to me because of Tom … he’s so misunderstood because he is a product of his parents and I feel for him .
I’m a mess of feelings now !
I only discovered your channel a few days and have binge watched all the HP movies again with you and it was so enjoyable. I was 9 when the first one came out, 19 at uni for the last one and it really was such a part of my childhood. I was lucky my mum was also the biggest fan and would always make sure we got to see the movies the first day they came out. It was the most exciting thing and at 31, I’m still loving them!
I really enjoyed your impressions too. As a Brit I find a lot of Americans doing English accents a bit dodgy but yours is on point. Thanks for making rewatching twice as good 👍
I loved this special. It really felt like closing a chapter…😢
Highly recommend watching the behind the scenes footage on youtube. There’s hours and hours of it, so fascinating to see how it was all made.
"Where's Romilda?" - well, let me point you towards a small Netflix property called the Witcher. She's right there, stunning as ever.
Also, everything that Robbie Coltrane says makes me bawl my eyes out. It was like yesterday, how could we lose him since then??
I love how touched you are by the connections and genuine love and respect the actors all have for each other. If you'd like to watch something else where the actors have significant connections with both each other and the fans, and you haven't seen it yet, I'd love to watch you react to the TV Show Supernatural, which I think you'd like - 15 seasons, and the 2 main leads are in literally every one of the 327 episodes; the cast and crew *and fans* are a genuine family. It's been 2 years since the show ended, and the actors still do conventions on a frequent basis, and the fans are still hoping for a reboot or restart. ;)
The fact that you are so passionate about this world is a tribute to the movies and those who made them come alive. It's never too late to be a part of something amazing. ♥️
I remember watching Chamber of Secrets as a kid at home as a movie. And then I remember going to see Prisoner of Azkaban in theater. My first memories come right in that time period.
I would ADORE a second watch!! Even watching it now, after easily a dozen times seeing each film, I catch new things. Please for us lol 😅
Same bro, I've watched the series like 20 times easily and yet till date I'm getting details left right and center
I hope he listens to the audio books first! There is so much more you get out of the movies after experiencing the books. It's amazing!
Would love to see him rewatch and pick up on the details or do a chapter by chapter review of the books! More so than a fantastic beasts watch.
As a life long Harry Potter fan of the books /movies, I’ve loved your Potter reactions!. The fantastic beast series would definitely be worth reacting too!
The dynamic between the trio here and how we see it grow as they do and as we grow with them is what I'm most excited about for the new Percy Jackson show, young actors (hopefully) getting to share multiple years together and build a dynamic, report and connection that translates to the screen
I was five years old when the first movie released (on video tape!) I'd watch it, rewind it, watch it again, over and over all day. I could recite it all in my sleep! My books were so well read they were coming apart. I still have my very tattered, very loved copy of The Deathly Hallows book that I got on release day when I was 11! I was near 16 when the final movie released. I truly grew up with them - the characters, the stories, the universe, the waiting between films. There was a lot of trauma in those years and Harry Potter was my comfort. It felt like home, it still does, and now I'm 28.
I can't think of a more special, pivotal thing to have had by my side growing up. I'll always go back to it. My nieces (7yo and 10yo) have discovered it now and love it. I just love that it's remained such an exciting and lovable world and will continue to for generations!
Knowing that Robbie Coltrane has passed away now what he says about him not being here 50 years from now really hits home since he is no longer with us😭😭😭
Actually, Daniel just welcomed his first child a couple of months ago 😊
I read the books and watched the movies already an adult, and I am still obsessed with them.
Daniel Radcliffe is such a versatile actor. Right now he is in a TBS comedy TV show called Miracle Workers. They are on their 4th season right this second. 😇
Daniel Radcliffe is a jack of all trades. He's done horror movies, dramatic stage plays, musicals ( yes he sings and dances, search "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying"), he's done many comedies, romcoms and he's played bad guys. He recently portrayed himself as Weird Al Yankovic in a biographical fodocumentery comedy movie streaming on the Roku channel I think. It's very funny and weird. LOL! There seem to be nothing he can't do.
🎥🎬🎞📽📺🎭👨🎤🕺🎶👍
Just recently he has become a Dad for the first time. He has become an actual father for the very first time. My goodness, have the all grown fast. WOW! 😊
The first Harry Potter came out in 2001 and I was 15 and it was an amazing time for amazing movies. Lord of the Rings also came out the same year and then Pirates of the Caribbean came out in 2003. It was an amazing time for all of these great movies and there really hasn't been a time like that since
Bawled my eyes out when I first watched this and bawled my eyes out again watching you watch this. Incredibly glad you did, it's such a wonderfully beautiful thing to experience. Watching this after not seeing them for years like you said was such an amazing experience. I remember audibly screaming when I heard they were doing a reunion. So special. Hearing Robbie Coltrane saying the whole "I won't be here, but Hagrid will." and then he passed away not long after this came out, hurt me even more. Harry Potter will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart, despite everything with JK Rowling and blah blah. It meant a whole lot to me and everyone included in it did absolutely phenomenal making this universe come to life. You should absolutely react to Fantastic Beasts! I think you'll enjoy it. 😊
Imagine seeing these actors, these children growing up in front of us and seeing them again 20 years later...I cried so much! It is something that we will probably never see again in the cinema. These films are very important in my life, I watched them all with my children and we still watch them very often.
U have no idea how much i cried when hbo announced this reunion. As an introverted child it was so hard for me to blend in my new school when i was in 4th grade . It was so hard for me to make friends .Every single day felt like i was just going through the routine . Then pogo channel started streaming these movies. U have no idea how much it helped me, it gave me confidense to talk to people just like Hermione who had so much confidence even though she couldn't relate to this magic world even though she was a muggle born . Thats what pushed me to make friends. Now I'm still such good friends with my school friends means the credit all goes to hp and Hermione and jk Rowling 😭❤️ also yes to the rewatch alex and also watch the behind the scenes of these movies . Its so good
Tragically, we lost Michael Gambon recently too.
Both Dumbledore's have now passed through the great King's Cross Station in the sky.
At the time, I thought they did this too early. I thought the reunion should have been 19 years after the last movie.
However, I'm so glad they did this. The interview with Emma & Robbie was so precious ❤
“Like lumber and eucalyptus”- took me OUT 🤣🤣💀
I’d watch again with you! I can’t explain to you how amazing it was to live thru this phenomenon in real time. We had to wait years between books and it was MAGICAL when we got the next installment- waiting in line at bookstores for the midnight release, then the movies. One of the best experiences of my life. Please read or listen to the audiobooks, there’s SO much more to this rich saga. I promise you won’t regret the time you invest in reading/ listening. It’s written so well, funny, charming, sad and beautiful. #ALWAYS 💜
Ending it with Alan's "Always" moment was a DIRTY play & it was foul to make me sob like that
So happy you did this!!! I love this special they did so good with this! Love and respect to all the cast and crew 🥺
These books saved me and I know that sounds cringe or cheesy to some, but it's the truth. Growing up, my parents would always fight and it was a very toxic and dangerous living situation I was in, but every time things would get bad at home, I would go into my closet with my flashlight and ear muffs and read Harry Potter over and over again. I would even fall asleep in there. I was 11 years old when the first book came out and it was my safe space. The books teleported me into a different reality and I fully believe that the books protected me at such a young age and into adulthood. Harry Potter will always be a huge part of my life.
You kinda nailed it when you said this was a part of our identity growing up.
I grew up with Harry Potter. I was 9 years old when I got the first book while at the hospital for an appendix surgery. It stayed with me well into my college years. Can you imagine that?
The reunion broke me.
So glad that I watched this entire series with you Alex! I didn't grow up watching Harry Potter as a kid either & I do feel like I missed out Big Time but I always thoroughly enjoy watching this series now as an adult. It has been an Awesome Experience rewatching it with a personality like yours! Excellent Reaction throughout the whole series! 🤩🥰
I would love nothing more than a rewatch
This entire series is my comfort. Whenever I’m feeling really down, this series ALWAYS brings me joy and happiness. If you ever did a rewatch, just know you’ll have me watching because believe it or not, your channel bring almost that same happiness.
My family has made these movies a Thanksgiving tradition. Starting on Sunday before and all week we watch one or 2 per night! Great time of year to rewatch!
I work next door to J.K.Rowlings home in Edinburgh, I remember walking to work past her MASSIVE front gate, headphones on and dancing in the street...just as the gates opened and she drove out...laughing and smiling to see me dancing😂She’s an amazing woman❤I cried like a baby watching this, Harry Potter is a HUGE part of my life to this day! My office is covered in Harry Potter regalia ❤ RIP to Robbie Coltrane, one of our national treasures here in Scotland 🏴 You will be loved through your portrayal of Hagrid for many, many years to come Sir🙏🏼❤️
I love it when people don’t buy into the propaganda against her. This sounds like such a fun life to have
@@RachelXKnight666So nice to not see people being horrible about her all the time. She's done nothing wrong. She's an amazing person 😊
@@fireandsugar2625 all she does is talk biological fact and science and people being so vitriolic. It’s ridiculous
@@RachelXKnight666 100%! 💖
I enjoy seeing how much of a Potterhead you have become Alex! Have a look at the deleted scenes when you have the time 😉
Every time I watch the 20th anniversary reunion tears run down my face. It just makes me so sad that the wonderful world of Harry Potter had to come to an end for Daniel, Emma, and Rupert but also thankful that they were able to be a part of something that imo is the greatest Movie Series of all time. No movie lacks production value and consistency as some movie series’s do. Every movie is just seamless. The amazing actors and actresses that we were able to immortalize into this world we all love so much. Makes me so emotional as well. Thank you so much to The Wizarding World to the people’s lives you inspire to spread love, kindness and most importantly friendship to others around them. I am a Hufflepuff Gryffindor, for those were wondering eye associate myself with Gryffindor, but my interests are in Hufflepuff.
For me your Harry Potter uploads are always a great watch and a highlight of my weeks, holding my thumbs for a rewatch of the series 🙏.
I cried watching this reaction! This was a HUGE part of my childhood. From reading the books & eagerly awaiting for the movies & DVDs to come out. So emotional, fulfilling as a child & heartwarming ❤
Daniel Radcliffe said that if there is a Reboot he doesn't want to be a part of it. But if there are reunions of old cast and such, he is up to it
Awesome Video Alex!!! I Love Harry Potter So Much and This Special was so emotional for Me as a Huge Fan, It's Always been a Huge Part of My Life and I just Love it
So Much. And to see You react to these for The First Time has been such a Joy,
Thank You for making These Videos! And to know that someone who just experienced this journey for The First Time can get just as Emotional as I do when I watch it, Is just Incredible and it really just shows how Special This Series is and Why Everyone Loves It SO Much!
This series has played a pivotal role in my life. My dad used to read the books to me as a kid and then I read them to my sister when she was old enough. One of the clearest memories I have of my parents is when we all watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and us all crying when Dobby died. I was also a painfully shy and awkward kid so getting to see that being portrayed on screen was such a big deal for me
I was 12 when the first movie came out and I was literally born on the exact same day and year as Daniel Radcliffe so I was going to through these in real time in a couple ways. I was also reading all the books. They were the first books that I actually lost hours of sleep for. I would be reading chapter after chapter as a kid and look up at my clock and think “oh my gosh! I have to wake up in two hours for school!” I read one of the books in two days because it’s all I did.
So, the movies made me really emotional and the anniversary special just destroyed me. I love these people. If I met them, I would feel like they’re my best childhood friends. I’d probably freak them out. Like “hey! Good to see you again!” 🤦🏻♀️
I get so emotional whenever I see the reunion special. I was just entering my senior year of high school when the last movie came out, so I very truly grew up with this series and just have such nostalgia and love for them and the cast.
I'm sure someone's commented this before, but I think you'd really love the Very Potter Musical series that's on TH-cam. It's my favorite fan content--and I think they're much better than the Fantastic Beasts movies.
Generally made me cry when I watched this for the first time growing up with ALL the films aging as the movies got darker and better, reading the books what made me a big fan
I swear this video never fails to make me sad. I am so glad you reacted to this! I grew up with the series and honestly there really hasn't been a anything quite like it ever since. I would love to see your reactions to the Fantastic Beasts movies because I still think getting more from that universe is worth watching.
I remember watching this Reunion. Very emotional, full of nostalgia and so good to see all these actors and directors (well, never was a big fan of Mister Yates). And yet I was a little disappointed at the end because there was no mention of the music. John Williams gave the films something special: hear the first 8 notes of "Hedwig's Theme" and you'll immediately find yourself in Harry's world!
All deleted scenes are still a whole hour of Harry Potter❤❤
Alex, you could play Peeves the poltergeist in the HBO TV series for Harry Potter! Peeves is one of the original book characters that never made it to the movies.
I was already well into my 20s when these started. But I understand the connection it created between fans and the cast to each other. Some of my best memories were in theater.
I remember the Auditions for The Golden Trio being announced on children's TV, News Round in the 90s Hundreds of Kids turned up for the Auditions. Unfortunately I was a little bit too old to join in lol
I watched them all again after watching this and it was magical. Also, you reacting to this was like watching myself because I also want to be apart of a movie production like this
Walking out after the 4th movie, there was a realization of maturity that had smacked us kids in the face. Felt like the covers had been pulled and our childhood.. a thing of the past
I got into the Harry Potter series a bit later than most, cause i was 15 when the first movie came out, and i was already deep into Tolkien's work, so at the time i felt like this was just a "kid's movie" and "not dark enough" and stupid stuff like that (like a true teenager). My little sister, with whom i have 8 years age gap, convinced me to start reading the books around 2006-2007, and i'm so glad she did, cause now i love and appreciate both the books and the movies. Actualy it was a mutual kind of bet, we agreed that i would read the HP series and she would read The Hobbit, LotR and The Silmarillion, so i guess we both did each other a favour :)
I've seen it and I'm bawling!!! I'm 63 years old for heaven's sake!!! LOVE YA!!! You made me live them again, thank you...
This was a beautiful anniversary special to everyone; the cast, crew, and fans.
I love your reactions so much because you certainly portray so many emotions i have felt while growing up to these series and it brings me back so vividly!
It will always be a part thats engrained in me because so much of it shaped me.
Thank you for this reaction, I hadnt seen this special because i dont have that channel enabled and watching parts of it for the first time also made me emotional.
You can rewatch but only after you read each book before each movie so you can see what was cut out
That bit from Robbie, about not being here but Hagrid will. It hits so much harder now that he’s gone. Its meaning has changed but it still has that little mischievous twinkle that was so synonymous with Hagrid’s character.
I, too, experienced Harry Potter later in life - in my thirties, actually. But I always had fond memories of fairy tales, which is what this story is to me. I watched the first two movies and then proceeded to get into the books. While I recommend you read the books, because they flesh out more and more that the movies had to drop as they went on, I'm with you all the way when you say your mind was blown. This story is of a richness rarely found in stories these days and I either watch the movies or listen to the brilliant audiobooks narrated by my favourite stranger Steven Fry at least once a year. It was a joy to accompany you on this journey and I'm always happy to see new content of yours go up. Subscribed and loving it. Feel free to do Austin powers next ;-)
