we actually really want to! but unfortunately every single HP movie we've done so far requires YT intervention to unflag it as its automated system keeps flagging it as content containing "ch*ld endangerment" despite being a movie. and we have to manually appeal, wait multiple weeks before they give us a resolution. the 4th movie is actually done but currently is still in queue for manual review.
@@CineBingeReact Fifth one is boring, but also has very cool passages. Sixth one is the best of the series. I could live without seventh and eight one. I actually liked the fourth one (not many people do).
"Are they actually twins, the actors?" They were asked that question in an interview. Being Scottish and therefor sarcastic from birth, they deadpan replied "No, we met at the audition, it was quite the stroke of luck."
Fun fact: chocolate releases serotonin (the “happiness hormone”) so Remus telling Harry to eat chocolate every time he encounters a Dementor is actually really good advice considering they suck away all your happiness
It actually doesn't. Cocoa does contain the relevant chemicals but only very dark chocolate has enough of it and even then your stomach acid destroys it before it reaches your bloodstream. What "makes you happy" when eating chocolate is just plain old sugar.
Lupin was not in love with Lily, they were simply very good friends. As a werewolf he had a very difficult life, people treat him like shit. And like he said Lily was extremely kind. That was very good for him, he wasn't used to people being good to him. And also she was married to his best friend, they are supposed to have a good relationship.
He would have positioned her in his 'partners of best friends' zone no doubt, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he would not have quietly harboured feelings. Whether he did or not is never said in the books I think (although it's been years since I last read them), but it is an interesting thread to pull at, if somebody wanted to do some hyper-interpretive theorising.
I think I read somewhere that Lupin had a crush on Lily in school because she was always so kind, but he never did anything about it because of the werewolf thing and because James liked her. Lupin and Lily were always just friends and he cared about her deeply because she and James were like family to him when they all left school
To help the actors get into character, Cuaron asked the actors to write an essay on their character. Daniel wrote a simple two page report, Emma wrote multiple pages, and Rupert forgot to do his essay.
@@mohammedashian8094 Yeah, Rupert Grint bluntly said that, "Ron Weasley wouldn't do the homework, and I'm Ron." Cuaron then replied, "So you do understand your character. Good."
Michael Gambon was recast as Dumbledore as Richard Harris died shortly after filming Chamber of Secrets. And you are right Harris was more softly spoken but I quite liked Gambon as well outside of Goblet of Fire and the infamous scene which you will see 😭
Fun fact: the night before Harry and his friends' return to Hogwarts was a full moon. So, Lupin was sleeping in the train because he was too tired because of his transition into and from a werewolf.
Omg. I just realized after so many years. The first spell Ron tried to do in the first film at the train was to turn his rat yellow but it failed cuz his rat was not a rat at all.
Rowling is notorious for her retcons of existing things for later story. The spell was a fake joke spell given to him by his brothers, well before Scabbers was ever written to be Wormtail. So no
"Why are they always surprised that she's there?" Well if you noticed when the camera transitioned through the mirror, she actually wasn't there. The same thing happened in Trelawney's class earlier. Harry and Ron were sitting alone at the start of the scene, then Hermione just appeared out of thin air. Some very cool foreshadowing of the time turner.
@@aimanla5602 Yes, almost everyone thought she was a fraud, but Dumbledore kept her at Hogwarts, because she has a talent for real prophecies (she was the one who made the prohecy about harry and voldemort). Only Dumbledore (and Snape?) knew about it, so they kept her close.
It's even more weirder in the books. In the movies, it can be dismissed since she just appeared out of nowhere but in the books, she disappeared around the corners, popping out behind you and stuff.
@Jai Barker Whyatt-Drewitt Even with all the magic they got, it's not safe to change the timeline like that. Time turner can only go back a few hours max. There is a case where an unspeakable managed to go back a few decades. Since the unspeakable wasn't supposed to be there, the butterfly effect is triggered. If that wasn't enough when the unspeakable came back, unbeknownst to them the said unspeakable age rapidly as if they've been aging since they visit the past.
This is one of my favourites in the series! someone has probably already told you this, if not I promise this isn’t spoilers for the movies! They don’t mention it but I thought it’s a cool bit of plot that this movie missed out on The marauders map was actually made by James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew! That’s why the nicknames are moony (Remus-werewolf), wormtail (Peter-rat), padfoot (Sirius-dog) and prongs (James could turn into a stag) that’s why Remus already knew what the map was and didn’t question it, when Harry said to snape about keeping his large nose out of other peoples business it wasn’t him just being sassy he was actually reading what the map was saying, because if anyone tried to read it without saying the right thing the map insults the reader instead! Remus was bitten really young at 5 years old by a werewolf and in this world being a werewolf is a horrible thing, it’s a disease and for a lot of people it’s worse than death you are really sick and it’s painful, there’s a lot of prejudice against them and if people know they doesn’t treat you like a human. However Remus was the first werewolf to go to hogwarts because of Dumbledore and he gave him a safe place to transform every month, which is the shrieking shack and dumbledore planted the whomping willow tree that hits people on top of the passage way so people won’t go near it and find out about what was happening because they had to keep the fact that Remus was a werewolf a secret because if people found out people would be outraged and want him out. James, Sirius, Peter and Remus became friends in 1st year and Remus had to lie a lot to them about why he disappeared every month and why he was always injured and very sick, but they managed to figure out the reason a year later but accepted him and decided not to tell anyone but they felt horrible about how he would badly injure himself every month because being locked up as a werewolf caused him to scratch and bite at himself while he transformed so they decided to become animagi to turn into animals to help him through his transformations since werewolves were fine with other animals and keep him company and it took them years to do this since it’s very complicated and advanced and also dangerous, that’s why they can all turn into animals! That’s also how Sirius managed to escape because no one knew he was an animagi (turn into a dog) because they did this without people knowing, so he turned into a dog and was that skinny from being in prison he managed to slip out and escape undetected, and the reason he escaped was because the photo of Ron and his family on that trip to Egypt in the paper, were Scabbers (Peter) was perched on his shoulder and recognised him immediately so he set off to kill him. This is mad long sorry but it’s just incase you want to know! And it also explains some things that were left out in the movies
Very nice explanation. I'll also add that while Lupin used the shrieking shack as a kid to safely transform away from everyone in his Hogwarts days as a student, as an adult he didn't because he could drink the Wolfsbane potion instead, which is a potion that allowed him to transform while holding on to his mental capabilities. It is a very difficult potion to make tho, so Snape had to prepare it. Imagine trusting a guy that hates you to make a complicated potion that could really fuck you up... I guess Snape delivered on that one.
@@clover2739 No problem, also I forgot to mention that he ended up transforming and going feral at the end of the movie anyway because he saw all the craziness going on in the map and he left in a rush... forgetting to take the potion. I think that's pretty much it, we made it lol. There's a lot to unwrap with this movie, just wait until Goblet of Fire lmao
@@derekringer7143 yep I think that’s all the important stuff from this one covered! It’s sad how the movies didn’t explain the marauders at all but it is what it is, I’m not even sure if they read TH-cam comments or not but if they do I hope they get all this information because it’s just nice to know for later movies
@@clover2739 yup. Also that Lupin isn't in love with Lilly Potter, as they theorized, but he was friend with them from school. Im pretty sure the book mentions how the 4 of them were classmates with both Lilly and Snape. For all of those reasons this is the movie I like the least. This is the core of the story IMHO and they skipped over most of it.
The most egregious change they made from the book was that moment when Snape calls Hermione an "insufferable know-it-all" and Ron whispers to Harry "He's got a point you know." In the books this was such a horrible moment that Hermione was silently crying and Ron was so enraged that he snaps at Snape, "You asked her a question, she knows the answer. Why ask if you don't want to be told?" and earns himself detention
Yeah, even the book itself said, "everyone thought Ron went too far as Snape slowly advanced towards him.", and the way Snape said, "If I ever catch you criticizing the way I teach a class again, you'll be very sorry indeed.", in an icy voice would have been properly menacing, with Alan Rickman's tone.
In my opinion he was so hyped about seeing his dad alive his emotions where running super high, then he realized it was himself it made him even more happy as he realized he had the power he had the knowledge and he was going to save his godfather. All together powered his Patronus to astro levels
The Marauders Moony - Remus Lupin Wormtail - Peter Pettigrew Padfoot - Sirius Black Prongs - James Potter The other three became animagi so that they could be around Remus when he transformed during the full moon because a werewolf bite doesn't infect you if your already an animal
@@BrettDel No. The Marauders spent years learning to transform and were finally able to in their 5th year. Lily and James got together in 6th or 7th year.
And the Shreeking Shack was built specifically for Lupin to go to on the full moon to protect the other students. The Whomping Willow was planted to hide the secret passage.

You'll notice the movies get much, much darker as the trio get older. JK Rowling was going through a dark time when writing this book and she's said the Dementors represent her depression during that time. This is one of my favorites of the series and always love Gary Oldman in anything.
The umbrella is actually his wand that was snapped after he was expelled Dumbledore fixed it and made it look like an umbrella so people wouldn't know and yes unfortunately the original actor for Dumbledore past away and had to recast
It's not actually mentioned in the books or the movies, that Dumbledore has fixed it, but it is mentioned, that the Dumledore's wand is the only wand in the world that can actually repair a broken wand... It is impossible to do it with any other wand. It will become more clear why later in the series. That, together with the fact that Hagrid can use his wand even when it's broken (when Ron's wand in aCoS, damaged but not completely snapped in half, is completely unusable) adds to the theory, that Dumbledore has in fact repaired Hagrid's wand.
To answer your question at 6:55 - They can't just use the chimney to get to Hogwarts because it's not allowed by the school for security reasons. Also not every chimney is connected to the floo network. They also can't apparate inside Hogwarts because the school has anti-apparition charms, also for security reasons. The Hogwarts Express is a safe, more manageable and discreet method of transporting dozens/hundreds of wizards at a time. It also helps logistically as it ensures all students get to school at the same time. Keep in mind the train was not always around. In the past when trains did not exist, wizards made their own way up to the school through various less discreet, less safe methods. It wasn't until the muggles invented the train that wizards copied the concept.
25:34, you are mentioning the grounds and the way the environment is filmed. For this movie, Cuaron in cooperation with Rowling completely redesigned the actual setup of Hogwarts, repositioned the entrance to the common room and just generally made the whole layout make sense. Really cool, you can totally feel Hogwarts feeling like an actual place!
Plus, in keeping with the time travel theme, they added a giant clock tower, and scattered a bunch of other time and clock related props. My favourite is the wizard in the Leaky Cauldron reading Stephen Hawking's _A Brief History of Time_
The Marauders are the most interesting group in Harry Potter for me. You can read a lot of backstory about them and they were a nice group of friends who were up to no good.
If i remember my Harry Potter lore the Marauders were Harry's father, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew when they were students, the names on the map, Mooney, Padfoot, Wormtail and Prongs were their codenames, Mooney is Lupin, Padfoot is Sirius Black, Wormtail is Peter Pettigrew and Prongs is Harry's father (because his patronus charm is a Stag).
@@erikperhs_ I think they meant the Marauders were nice and fiercely loyal to each other in their school days. They had a very strong bond, loved each other as brothers and went through a lot to help each other. James and Sirius were cruel to people they just didn't like though. They were spoiled idiot rich kids
I don't know if anyone said this. Remus Lupin is the best Defense Against the Darks Arts Professor. He really made every lessons interesting and fun. If the movies just made a good montage of that, but the way they made the Boggart lesson scene is incredible too. He also pays attention to his students, letting Neville takes the first try. I really love him that's why I was bawling my eyes out during the scene where he resigns, both in book and movie. He needs a job to earn because as u can see his clothes is so fancy unlike other teachers, he can't get a job because he gets discriminated being a werewolf. This is my favorite book and movie, btw.
"He's the one teacher who actually taught harry a lot of things". One of the two, actually. The other one being Snape. The brilliant part being that he taught him without even realizing he did. Harry learned things by simply watching him. Love it. The action of shielding the kids was very telling. Snape was TERRIFIED of werewolves, and yet his first instinct was to defend the trio. That was what should have clued us in to his real story.
I absolutely love how active you guys are as an audience, with theories and thoughts and ideas just thrown out there willy-nilly 🙂 too many reactors just sit there kind of quietly and hum or scream when action happens. I think part of why I love your way is that 1: there are two of you, it gets that natural interaction going without you having to play it up for the camera, 2: you are both interested, neither of you were semi-reluctantly shanghaied by a well-meaning friend/sibling/partner and 3: it certainly doesn’t hurt either that you guys are such awesome friends that it just pours through the screen😉 As a massive Harry Potter fan who’ve read the books... one too many times, your theories and predictions and interpretations are incredibly interesting. All those things I take for granted and never had to think about you are spinning and turning inside out and upside down til I barely know which way should be up any more - and I absolutely love it!! 😃😍🤩🥳 such a fresh perspective, and you guys are so observant and willing to guess that it just makes you an utter pleasure to watch. I eagerly await the Goblet of Fire and will amuse myself with some of your Speed till then 😜 Thank you so much for sharing your awesome with us mere mortals 🧙🏻♀️🧙🏻♂️ /L!zz Also, I haven’t checked if anyone else has answered already (they probably have...) but Dumbledore is somewhere around 150 years old at this point in time, wizards live quite a bit longer than us mere muggles.
It's only Ron who guesses Dumbledore to be 150; actually, he was born in 1881 and thus would be 112 in this particular movie set in 1993/94. Other witches and wizards, like Bathilda Bagshot (author of a history book used in school) or Madam Marchbanks (oversees final exams at Hogwarts, and was already doing so when Dumbledore graduated) are obviously still prove of that fact.
Prisoner of Azkaban is the best Harry Potter book and movie. The later ones get more serious, darker, and more contiguous; this is the last really contained narrative, and in my opinion, best balances serious and entertaining. And the stable time loop is very well handled.
My favorite of the movies, but I watched the movies before I read the books. I think this movie stands up really well without having the book lore. The first two are childish if you don’t have the book context, and the remaining movies have major plot points that are missing if you don’t know the books. This one is the only one that works for me as a movie rather than as an adaptation. After reading the books, I like the other movies almost as much as this one, but PoZ holds a special place because I loved it the first time I saw it.
I must add; when Snape tell off poor Hermione in class, in the book Ron was outraged and said out loud the same as you did. And got detention for it. Book Ron is a bit different from the goofy movie Ron. Brave, funny, rude and very loyal. And he has the knowledge about the wizarding world Harry and Hermione lack. In the movies Hermione knows the wizarding world better than Ron. Weird.
Funfact: In the Scene were everybody is sleeping in the great hall Daniell Radcliff (Harry Potter actor) asked the Producer if they will putt his Sleepingbag next too a girl He liked. However the Snape and Dumbledor actors puld a prank on Him and putt a fartingmaschin in his sleepingbag and embarest Him infront of everyone. 🤣 Poor Radcliff
39:11 "I'm still uncertain about Snape." That's PROFESSOR Snape, George! But Siriusly, take a look at Snape's stance and movement just about 30:28 It looks pretty strongly like someone putting himself between children and a threat, to me! Edit: Come to think of it, that could be symbolic of his personality -- between a child, and a threat.
There are reason for Snape being the way he is, that will become clearer as the movies continue, it does not get explained quite as well as in the books, but still gives you an idea of why he is who he is.
I love the director for this movie. The wide establishing shots of the grounds/scenery is really nice and I loved seeing exactly what I imagined from the books. I'm glad they kept those kinds of shots through the rest of the series
A lot of people like this third movie because of Alfonso Cuaron's direction. He brought a seriously comedic dark sense of humor (like the whomping willow plucking the twittering birds) to the story. Plus, the cast had really come into their own as actors by this movie. Add to that the performances by new supporting actors Emma Thompson, David Thewlis and Gary Oldman, plus a lot of clever plot twists (thank the book for that), and you have one of the top Harry Potter movies, for sure. And yes, Richard Harris, the original Dumbledore, unfortunately passed away after the second movie.
I think that Richard Harris and Michael Gambon did a great job as Dumbledore. Harris got the kind nature and voice down perfectly while Gambon got the physicality and energy of the character done better. When I re read the books I imagine it with Gambon's appearance and Harris's voice.
Lupin was never in love with Lily. He thought of her like a sister. And because he was best friends with James, when they started dating, she was already around. He felt so comfortable around her because she was so supportive of him, just like his friends.
You shouldnt forget that Snape probably didnt had an Wand when shielding the Kids from Lupin. Going against an Werwolf without an weapon to protect someone is even more impressive in my eyes.
Regarding Hagrids umbrella, it isn't mentioned in the movie but it's implied in the books that when he was expelled for getting framed by Riddle, his wand was snapped (which is basically just shy of execution or exile, as far as wizards are concerned) and he was able to somehow use the pieces of his wand while making the umbrella, which is why he used it to do magic. Which is sort of tragic.
To answer why they don't only use teleportation as transportation: Hogwarts is OLD magic, basically has tons of protective spells that limit things like teleportation.
The time turner seems to create closed causality loops so that even though you can go back in time, you can't really change anything that has already happened.
There is actually a loop hole (I think). From what I understand, in the books (again I think) it was explained that people cannot change things that they know for certain happened. So in theory, Harry could have tried to capture Pettigrew, but this probably would have meant the Harry wasn't there to cast the Patronus. Hermione on the other hand could have done it with the point-me spell.
you can change things but its forbidden by law and time time turners are not publicly available they come from the ministry and only for special cases also they only go back hours so you cannot go back years
The entire plot of Cursed Child revolves around Albus Potter and his friend, Draco Malfoy's son Scorpius, using a stolen Time Turner to go back in time and try to save Cedric Diggory, which ends up screwing over the entirety of causality and butterfly effects into a version of history where VOLDEMORT WON, while Harry Potter and Draco put aside their differences to try and find their sons in time and put it all right again.
My favorite little detail in this films is when Lupin has turned into his werewolf form, and Snape comes over and puts himself between the trio of kids and Lupin, pushing them behind him with his arms out... they had only ever showed what a dick he is to everyone up to this point, and it's the first time I remember the hint at the possibility that maybe there's a good side to him too.
The worst part of finding a channel like this is at first there are lots of reactions to watch, then there are none, because you watched them all way too quickly.
My favorite little tidbit of lore is that of course the Marauders were Moony (Lupin), Wormtail (Peter), Padfoot (Sirius), and Prongs (James). Meaning that even after his death, James is helping Harry.
The Marauder's Map was created by Moony (Lupin), Wormtail (Pettigrew), Padfoot (Sirius Black), and Prongs (James Potter). Once Lupin became a werewolf, the other three friends (Pettigrew, Black, and Potter) studied and each became an animagus whose animals (Rat, Dog, Stag) also became their individual Patronus form. They did this so that they could wander with and keep Lupin under control when he was in werewolf form. The book covers this in detail while the scriptwriters never really brought out this aspect of Harry's history.
The answer to like 90% of all worldbuilding questions in Harry Potter is either "stubborn adherence to tradition", or "political corruption". It becomes more and more apparent over time that the British wizard society has... issues. (The inhumane treatment of hippogriffs or the almost literal "Hell on Earth" that is Azkaban don't look all that out of place next to the elf slavery from the previous movie...) Voldemort started as just a regular dude, but his power and influence didn't just come from nowhere. Your comparison to German history is actually _very_ on point...
Also, as near as I can figure it, that there really aren't that many wizards. The entire population of the UK is only about 70 million. What percentage are wizards? It's not clear, but even if it's 1 in 10 thousand (which seems too high), that's only 7000 wizards and witches in all of the UK. There simply isn't that big of a pool to choose from, which is why so many teachers and staff are incompetent or downright evil.
@@PhilBagels In CoS, Ron specifically mentions that Great Britain's magical community is not that big. And that if the Pure Bloods of old did not start having families with Muggle Borns, they would have died out a long time ago.
Voldy just capitalised on the deep seated divisions for his own want for power and immortality, so the purebloods were just used and maybe even lied to in some cases. That’s basically found in every society in world history unfortunately, not just Germany.
I can't wait for your reaction to the fourth one, that's my favourite. Oh and Dumbledore made sure he had plausible deniability, I loved that. Regarding Snape, he is still a teacher and responsible for the safety of the students and he REALLY wants to get the position of Defense of the Dark Arts teacher so apprehending two potentially dangerous criminal wizards would give him hell of a resume.
I love who they cast as Professor Lupin and Sirius Black. David Thewlis and Gary Oldman are incredible actors with sensational characters in their repertoires. Two of my favorite villain roles from David are the evil King Einon from Dragonheart and the God of War Ares from the movie Wonder Woman. One of my ultimate favorite Gary Oldman roles is Commissioner Jim Gordon in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy of Batman movies.
The Wizarding world has such different standards of safety from us because they can fix almost any problems or injuries quite easily with magic. We saw Harry regrow bones in the last movie. So their safety standards aren't as high as ours
Fun fact: David Thewlis (Lupin) had originally auditioned to play Professor Quirrel, for the first movie, but Chris Columbus didn't cast him because he thought Thewlis had more potential for a different character.
People can only use Flue Powder to go to or from the Headmasters office, otherwise Hogwarts is sealed off from teleportation, hence the train/boats/thresteges...
there's a great story about filming the scene where all the kids are sleeping on the floor. somebody snuck a remote control fart machine into Daniel's sleeping bag & activated it as Dumbledore & Snape walked past. there's footage, it's quite funny.
You cannot IMAGINE how excited I was for this video!! I'd be living my life and sometimes I'd think "one day, CineBinge will react to Prisioner of Azkaban and it will be awesome" ✨✨✨ *AND IT'S FINALLY HERE* ✨✨✨
The moment of your videos I like the most is the speech before watching the movie, when you try to figure out what will happen and you don't get even close. 😄
13:25 Those glass tracking shots, long single takes, lax rules about uniform(you can see the students wearing their uniforms more casually) and elaborate sets instead of CGI were the brainchild of Alfonso Cuaron. These simple directorial changes moved the game ahead, and pushed the bar further higher for the film series and its view of Hogwarts.
very few people understand that the photos are literally Sirius protesting to being arrested for something he didn't do. Good on you guys for pointing it out.
The knight in the background paintings-Sir Cadogan (a Don Quixote analog)-has a very minor part in the books. He is tasked by Dumbledore to search all of the paintings in the school until the fat lady is found.
A little trivia: in the scene where Dumbledore and Snape are walking past students who are sleeping on the floor. They had to reshoot that scene several times because the actor who played Snape had a fart machine and he kept hitting it when he past the Daniel, Rupert and Emma, causing them to laugh and so they had to redo it.
You can’t go back in time and remove the reason you went back in time, like killing Voldemort, that would be a paradox. They saved the hippogriffe, but their pasts elves didn’t know they did. The movies use a stable time loop concept: whatever you do after going back to the past, you already did. You can’t change that.
Not a fan of time travel, although as you mentioned - they kept it straight and simple. While a 'powerful' tool, we never see it again and that's a relief. Since there's no such thing as 'time travel', we people make up all the 'science' we want, because it cannot be proven or debunked.
@@terrylandess6072 Science is just theory, hypothesis, experimenting, observation, and probable conclusions not set in stone. It is not made up, it is ever-evolving and not some religious mumbo jumbo.
The Dementors are basically a physical depiction of depression - like Ron said "I felt weird though. Like I'd never be cheerful again." They go to Harry because of his trauma and all his bad memories, even his suppressed ones like his parents death. If they perform the 'kiss' and suck out your soul you're still living - but you're basically nothing more than an empty shell. THat's why no one's been able to escape Azkaban, people don't have the will to even try and escape because they keep reliving all the worst moments of their life - remember how Hagrid was sent there for a short while, he kept reliving the day he was expelled from Hogwarts, the day he had to let Norbert go and the day his dad died, and that it was like being born again when he was allowed to leave. the knowledge that he was innocent wasn't a happy one but it kept Sirius from going insane, then when he saw Peter in rat form on Ron's shoulder when his parents won that money and went to Egypt and got their picture in the paper about it he was able to hold onto it because it also didn't count as a happy thought, and he was able to find the strength to escape as a dog (dementors are blind, they sense humans but not always animals).
Hermione didn't just have a time turner and then used it for more classes, she specifically asked for it so that she could do more classes! Professor McGonagall vouched for her at the ministry if I remember correctly and she was allowed to use it for more schooling only!
Also time turners can only go back in time for like 6 hours, and in this they never changed anything, everything they did when they went back in time already happened so the hippogriff never died in the first place, if they went back in time and killed Voldemort if that was possible he wouldn’t be here already
@@Chicklo11 That book isn't that bad. It is a pretty good read, honestly speaking. It just departs from a novel to instead be a script for a play. And it's name is 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.' You might as well say it, it's going to continue to exist whether you say it or not.
@@Andiewhyte2149 ::chuckle:: There wouldn't be "important lore" if not for the books; it's the usual difficulty that novels have a LOT more background information than movies can manage. I like the idea that the movies are kind of like "Cliff's notes" of the books.
The terrible thing about Dementors is that not only can they suck out every good emotion within you to the point that you will eventually reach an unrecoverable depression but it won't physically kill you so you'll be a husk of a shell of your former self,oh and it doesn't matter where you are they can always find you even in the comforts of the muggle world,those things are the reason Dementors are so much more terrifying than even Voldemort himself
Hmmmm, "Support your local Coven" on t-shirt, Maggie the cat.... (Slowly piecing things together) If I only had a large, hanging scale and a duck to weigh her against.
I think my most favorite part of the movie is how Dumbledore knows everything that's going on. And how he was stalling to give them time to rescue Buckbeak. Also right before the scene between Hermione and Malvoy you can see her hand in the background because they were watching.
You might have caught it, but one of my favorite quotes of all time is in this movie! "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." Also, if you watch the credits you can see a guy and girl on the Maurader's Map in what seems to be a very sexual position 😂😂
An interesting fact about the whole chocolate after getting attacked by Dementors thing is that in real life, Chocolate has a chemical in it that makes people feel happy, making it a suitable and logical remedy for people that have encountered a Dementor.
Fun Fact: In the books this is explained but when Peter, Sirius, James and Remus were in Hogwarts Remus was attacked and turned into a werewolf! Remus' friends wanted to help him so they became Animagus' so they could hang out as animals! The Marauders Map is what they used to sneak around after hours! Moony (Remus Lupin), Wormtail (Peter Pettigrew), Padfoot (Sirius Black), and Prongs (James Potter)!
Thank you guys for this video it really helped me calm down after my anxiety attack. "Snape is a good person but he’s also a dick" was hilarious and accurate
Good catch! In the book it was less clear that it *was* the full moon, it just looked like a round silver shape, but honestly, with the name "Lupin", I was already leaning in that direction.
This film feels WAY more how the books read. Parts 1 and 2 are great but Director Chris Columbus adds that “Disneyesque” campiness to it. This film is where the story becomes darker in tone and this Director really captures that. You guys should read the books.
This is to me BY FAR the best of the Harry Potter films. I also know a lot of other people consider it the best as well. The directing is absolutely first rate, music is awesome, acting is excellent, pacing perfect - no flab and story is a tightly constructed adaptation of the book.
"Azkaban" is where the Harry Potter movies truly begin. The first two Chris Columbus movies are really just laying pipe. From here on out, all of them have their joys -- though this is the last Potter film that John Williams scored, so the music is never quite as epic and emotional.
In terms of plot maybe. As films themselves I think this is as good as it gets. Goblet of Fire had some weird decisions and from 5 to 8 it was the same director that failed, imo, to capture the Harry Potter vibe like these first 3 did. They feel souless.
@@derekringer7143 While 'somewhat' off topic, I felt the same about the Twilight series. The first had Catherine Hardwicke directing, and while she had the task of world building - I felt she also had the best handle on the overall feeling. The following movies had 3 different directors between them and while entertaining in their own way - they never quite reach the first IMO.
Scabbers/Pettigrew was originally Ron's brother Percy's familiar. The Weasleys aren't rich and they're a big family, so each child passes down their handmedowns to poor Ron; Scabbers was just another handmedown from Percy after Percy was gifted an owl for becoming a Prefect in his 5th year at Hogwarts. ________________________________________________________________________________ Professor Lupin's first name is Remus; Remus in mythology was the twin brother of Romulus, who gave his name to the city the twins founded: Rome. Romulus and Remus were raised by a she-wolf. Pettigrew spoke the truth; he was friends with Sirius, Remus, and Harry's father James when they were students at Hogwarts. They were the Marauders: "Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs", were their nicknames. Remus Lupin - Moony Peter Pettigrew - Wormtail Sirius Black - Padfoot James Potter - Prongs Peter, Sirius, and James were animagi; James's animagus form matched his stag patronum, and his nickname 'Prongs' referenced his antlers. Remus hid his lycanthropy, which otherwise would have been problematic in wizarding society. Snape also knew; Snape's forte was always potions and he supplied Remus with a potion to ward off the transformation (which explains the bottle on the train ride in). Remus's animagus friends would stay with him when he was in wolf form, to steer him away from others. Werewolves don't attack animals, only humans. I imagine the four of them created the Marauders Map to avoid running into people while Remus was a wolf, which kept people safe and Remus's condition a secret. ________________________________________________________________________________ About Azkaban and the dementors: Dementors were developed from JK Rowlings personal experience with deep depression. She crafted them as personifications of something that causes hopelessness, isolation, loss of clear thinking, and extreme lethargy. The cold represents the loss of any warm feeling or hope. Their presence cripples the individual in every possible way. Dementors are presented as feral magical creatures that consume positive thought and energy. They don't have a lot of intelligence but rudimentary arrangements can be with them if the arrangements are very basic and simple. They are managed by the Ministry of Magic and have a mutually-beneficial Ministry use: functioning as the guards of Azkaban Prison. They are happy to keep to Azkaban to feed on the energies of those sent there and the prisoners are kept there by having their thoughts, hopes, and wills sapped away by the dementors. Azkaban is a building sitting apart from land in the ocean. With dementors draining their energy, they are unable to plan or effect escape or use magic to do so. They are held there not by bars or razor wire, but by the suppression and torture imposed by the dementors. Occasionally there is a dark wizard/witch that merits something like extinguishment; they will never be released from Azkaban and may pose some possible danger to escape or committed foul enough deeds to merit more than just imprisonment. The Ministry of Magic may direct the dementors to give them 'the dementor's kiss'. In this act, so much energy is sucked out of the individual as to basically remove their soul and consciousness. It doesn't kill the person entirely, but it leaves their body functioning while being dead in every other respect. It's a punishment that is irreversible, leaving the person in a vegetative state until natural causes takes them. ________________________________________________________________________________ Dumbledore keeps a LOT of secrets, and McGonagall and Sirius help. People are supposed to register with the Ministry of Magic when they become werewolves, for public safety reasons. Lupin was attacked and developed the condition while still a child, before he was offered his admittance to Hogwarts. Dumbledore not only kept the secret, but cordoned off the 'Shrieking Shack' for Young Lupin to go to during full moons. He also made a tunnel between the Shack and the Hogwarts building perimeter and planted the Womping Willow over it. The shrieks convinced those not in the know that it was extremely haunted and the Willow kept the curious out of the tunnel. Lupin's friends during his time as a Hogwarts student was James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew; they wanted to help their friend during those nights he 'wasn't himself'. So Dumbledore allowed McGonagall to teach them how to become animagi. Again, every animagus is supposed to register with the Ministry of Magic, but Dumbledore covered for them, keeping their secret. Becoming an animagus is a lengthy, complicated process that isn't successful for everyone. You don't get to choose your animal form; it arises from your nature. Sirius being a dog was what allowed him to escape Azkaban; it took him 12 years to pull enough energy together to change into a dog but once he did, he found the dementors ignored him. This allowed him to escape. ________________________________________________________________________________ Hermione is highly logical; she doesn't work well with intuition, and divination is all about intuition. Plus, she doesn't do well dealing with her blind spots. Learning and information is easy for her, but anything that she can't do easily frustrates her terribly. You saw some of this in the first film with her trying to get her broom to respond. She's just not built for psychic stuff. And I LOVE how George caught on that Harry and Hermione were going through hormonal/puberty things. Just wait until the next film, when late-bloomer Ron gets a double-barrel dose of hormones! ________________________________________________________________________________ Harry and Hermione were in a self-resolving time loop. They didn't change a timeline, they fulfilled one. Hermione was well-instructed on the dangers of messing with time. Going back to interrupt Voldemort is too much and was never meant to be. What Harry and Hermione was doing had already happened, and you can see the evidence of it. And yes; the whole point of being given the timeturner in the first place was to feed her prodigious hunger for knowledge and double her courseload.
Alfonso Cuaron is certainly the best director of the entire saga But that doesn't mean they should bring him back for FANTASTIC BEASTS They should hire a different director, to bring something new
@@iceman10129 I like movie sequels done by different directors This way each movie can have an identity of their own Plus, I'm really tired of David Yates style
One thing the movie doesn't really do a good job of explaining is that the marauders were in fact James Potter (Harry's dad), Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. They created the marauder's map. They are also all animagus (can turn into animals at will) other than Lupin who is a werewolf. Sirius can turn into a dog, Pettigrew a rat, and James Potter could turn into a stag. They learned this ability in order to keep Lupin company during his werewolf transformations every full moon. Their animal forms is also how they got their nicknames! "Moony" is Lupin, "Wormtail" is Pettigrew, "Padfoot" is Sirius and "Prongs" is James.
So to help you with a few of your questions, yes fred and george are actually played by twins. the marauder's map was made by a quartet of trouble making students at hogwarts, non other than james potter, sirius black ,lupin, and peter petegrew. Known repectively as prong, pad foot, moony, and worm tail) james, sirius and peter all learned how to turn into animals to accompany lupin when he turned into a were wolf so they could keep an eye on him, as were wolves wouldn't attack animals with out reason unlike how they attack humans on sight.
So someone will explain this in more detail but the Marauder’s Map was created by Remus Lupin (Moony) Peter Pettigrew (Wormtail) Sirius Black (Padfoot) and James Potter (Prongs)
each of those names relates to their animagus powers - moony because hes a werewolf so he fears the moon, wormtail because he becomes a rat, padfoot for dog, and prongs for the antlers of his deer form.
@@DmanDmax No, I don't mean that. The first two films were FAR too long, and the acting was so amateurish, it kind of kept suspending belief in the story. Not good films. But this one, Order of the Phoenix and Half Blood Prince all really stand out as quality films.
8:55 This is something that you wont get from the Harry Potter movies...Dumbledore was a teacher at Hogwarts for a super long time but he wasn't the headmaster when Tom Riddle aka "Voldemort" studied at Hogwarts...when Voldemort graduated from Hogwarts, he was offered a teaching role for the "Defense Against Dark Arts" position by the previous headmaster...but he denied the position but was assured that the position will be always available for him...two decades later when Tom Riddle returned to Hogwarts, he was is the process of becoming Voldemort, his appearance has changed drastically and Dumbledore was now the headmaster at Hogwarts...Voldemort reapplied for the Defence Against Dark Arts position and Dumbledore denied him the position as he sensed something off about him...so in revenge, Voldemort jinxed/cursed the position to ensure that no applicant of the Defense Against the Dark Arts post could keep it for more than one year.
What really annoyed me about this movie was that many of Hermione’s lines were actually Ron’s in the book. When Hermione said to Sirius, “if you want Harry you’ll have to get past us first!” Ron was the one who actually said that despite having a broken leg. And I really didn’t like how Ron agreed with Snape when he called her “an insufferable know-it-all.” In the book Ron actually flat out yelled at Snape right in class because he was mad at how he treated Hermione. I will never understand why the filmmakers treated Ron so poorly in both this film and other films. It’s not until the last two films that he was finally given his great character 180 like he should have been from the beginning.
Please more than 1 Harry Potter movie per monthe! Its not enough

"Are they actually twins, the actors?"
They were asked that question in an interview. Being Scottish and therefor sarcastic from birth, they deadpan replied "No, we met at the audition, it was quite the stroke of luck."
LOL! That was so very Fred and George Weasley humor. They're perfect for the role.
Oh my God. I love this
That’s DEFINITELY something Fred and George would say it’s literally prefect casting
lol yeah, that was such a dumb question. At least George meant if they were actually twins or if it was one person in a double role.
The best part of that interview is that the interviewer actually believes them and the look on their face when they realize she's being for real.
Fun fact: chocolate releases serotonin (the “happiness hormone”) so Remus telling Harry to eat chocolate every time he encounters a Dementor is actually really good advice considering they suck away all your happiness
Thanks! It always seemed disjointed. Continuity.
They would starve on me then.
From personal experience of trying to fight depression this way: It's not super effective lol
@@lrmcatspaw1 Maybe they *have* starved you and you've been surrounded by dementors all your life 🤯
It actually doesn't. Cocoa does contain the relevant chemicals but only very dark chocolate has enough of it and even then your stomach acid destroys it before it reaches your bloodstream.
What "makes you happy" when eating chocolate is just plain old sugar.
Lupin was not in love with Lily, they were simply very good friends. As a werewolf he had a very difficult life, people treat him like shit. And like he said Lily was extremely kind. That was very good for him, he wasn't used to people being good to him. And also she was married to his best friend, they are supposed to have a good relationship.
He would have positioned her in his 'partners of best friends' zone no doubt, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he would not have quietly harboured feelings. Whether he did or not is never said in the books I think (although it's been years since I last read them), but it is an interesting thread to pull at, if somebody wanted to do some hyper-interpretive theorising.
I think I read somewhere that Lupin had a crush on Lily in school because she was always so kind, but he never did anything about it because of the werewolf thing and because James liked her. Lupin and Lily were always just friends and he cared about her deeply because she and James were like family to him when they all left school
@@breezy3392 that's a fan theory. Him having a crush on Lily was never canon.
@@lillykawaiifox Ok. I don't remember where I read it

To help the actors get into character, Cuaron asked the actors to write an essay on their character. Daniel wrote a simple two page report, Emma wrote multiple pages, and Rupert forgot to do his essay.
So ... each nailed their character.
Actually Rupert didn’t forget he didn’t do it at all because he thought Ron wouldn’t do that

Michael Gambon was recast as Dumbledore as Richard Harris died shortly after filming Chamber of Secrets. And you are right Harris was more softly spoken but I quite liked Gambon as well outside of Goblet of Fire and the infamous scene which you will see 😭

And, all-in-all, very watchable ideas.
Yes, but the "Hagrid is the Prisoner" was the same theory, i had way back, when the third book was published
LMAO
The umbrella gang should be a thing
🤣🤣🤣
Fun fact: the night before Harry and his friends' return to Hogwarts was a full moon. So, Lupin was sleeping in the train because he was too tired because of his transition into and from a werewolf.
Omg. I just realized after so many years. The first spell Ron tried to do in the first film at the train was to turn his rat yellow but it failed cuz his rat was not a rat at all.
Yoooo I’m tripping right nowww 😂
A yo, you have a point
Technically the rat was a rat just a different kind of rat. That's why he couldn't turn yellow because he was yellow already.
I think, It failed because Ron was deceived. His two twin brothers taught him fake spell with stupid words. They played a joke on Ron. so it failed.
Rowling is notorious for her retcons of existing things for later story.
The spell was a fake joke spell given to him by his brothers, well before Scabbers was ever written to be Wormtail.
So no
"Why are they always surprised that she's there?"
Well if you noticed when the camera transitioned through the mirror, she actually wasn't there. The same thing happened in Trelawney's class earlier. Harry and Ron were sitting alone at the start of the scene, then Hermione just appeared out of thin air. Some very cool foreshadowing of the time turner.
Truthfully, the female teacher who was wearing a round glasses was terribly weird. She was behaving so suspicious all the times
@@aimanla5602 Yes, almost everyone thought she was a fraud, but Dumbledore kept her at Hogwarts, because she has a talent for real prophecies (she was the one who made the prohecy about harry and voldemort). Only Dumbledore (and Snape?) knew about it, so they kept her close.
It's even more weirder in the books. In the movies, it can be dismissed since she just appeared out of nowhere but in the books, she disappeared around the corners, popping out behind you and stuff.
@Jai Barker Whyatt-Drewitt Even with all the magic they got, it's not safe to change the timeline like that. Time turner can only go back a few hours max.
There is a case where an unspeakable managed to go back a few decades. Since the unspeakable wasn't supposed to be there, the butterfly effect is triggered. If that wasn't enough when the unspeakable came back, unbeknownst to them the said unspeakable age rapidly as if they've been aging since they visit the past.
@Jai Barker Whyatt-Drewitt What I'm trying to say is, like Hermione said "Bad things happened to wizards who meddle with time".
This is one of my favourites in the series!
someone has probably already told you this, if not I promise this isn’t spoilers for the movies! They don’t mention it but I thought it’s a cool bit of plot that this movie missed out on
The marauders map was actually made by James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew! That’s why the nicknames are moony (Remus-werewolf), wormtail (Peter-rat), padfoot (Sirius-dog) and prongs (James could turn into a stag) that’s why Remus already knew what the map was and didn’t question it, when Harry said to snape about keeping his large nose out of other peoples business it wasn’t him just being sassy he was actually reading what the map was saying, because if anyone tried to read it without saying the right thing the map insults the reader instead!
Remus was bitten really young at 5 years old by a werewolf and in this world being a werewolf is a horrible thing, it’s a disease and for a lot of people it’s worse than death you are really sick and it’s painful, there’s a lot of prejudice against them and if people know they doesn’t treat you like a human. However Remus was the first werewolf to go to hogwarts because of Dumbledore and he gave him a safe place to transform every month, which is the shrieking shack and dumbledore planted the whomping willow tree that hits people on top of the passage way so people won’t go near it and find out about what was happening because they had to keep the fact that Remus was a werewolf a secret because if people found out people would be outraged and want him out.
James, Sirius, Peter and Remus became friends in 1st year and Remus had to lie a lot to them about why he disappeared every month and why he was always injured and very sick, but they managed to figure out the reason a year later but accepted him and decided not to tell anyone but they felt horrible about how he would badly injure himself every month because being locked up as a werewolf caused him to scratch and bite at himself while he transformed so they decided to become animagi to turn into animals to help him through his transformations since werewolves were fine with other animals and keep him company and it took them years to do this since it’s very complicated and advanced and also dangerous, that’s why they can all turn into animals!
That’s also how Sirius managed to escape because no one knew he was an animagi (turn into a dog) because they did this without people knowing, so he turned into a dog and was that skinny from being in prison he managed to slip out and escape undetected, and the reason he escaped was because the photo of Ron and his family on that trip to Egypt in the paper, were Scabbers (Peter) was perched on his shoulder and recognised him immediately so he set off to kill him.
This is mad long sorry but it’s just incase you want to know! And it also explains some things that were left out in the movies
Very nice explanation. I'll also add that while Lupin used the shrieking shack as a kid to safely transform away from everyone in his Hogwarts days as a student, as an adult he didn't because he could drink the Wolfsbane potion instead, which is a potion that allowed him to transform while holding on to his mental capabilities. It is a very difficult potion to make tho, so Snape had to prepare it. Imagine trusting a guy that hates you to make a complicated potion that could really fuck you up... I guess Snape delivered on that one.
@@derekringer7143 ooh yes thank you for the added information on that!
@@clover2739 No problem, also I forgot to mention that he ended up transforming and going feral at the end of the movie anyway because he saw all the craziness going on in the map and he left in a rush... forgetting to take the potion.
I think that's pretty much it, we made it lol. There's a lot to unwrap with this movie, just wait until Goblet of Fire lmao
@@derekringer7143 yep I think that’s all the important stuff from this one covered! It’s sad how the movies didn’t explain the marauders at all but it is what it is, I’m not even sure if they read TH-cam comments or not but if they do I hope they get all this information because it’s just nice to know for later movies
@@clover2739 yup. Also that Lupin isn't in love with Lilly Potter, as they theorized, but he was friend with them from school.
Im pretty sure the book mentions how the 4 of them were classmates with both Lilly and Snape.
For all of those reasons this is the movie I like the least. This is the core of the story IMHO and they skipped over most of it.
The most egregious change they made from the book was that moment when Snape calls Hermione an "insufferable know-it-all" and Ron whispers to Harry "He's got a point you know." In the books this was such a horrible moment that Hermione was silently crying and Ron was so enraged that he snaps at Snape, "You asked her a question, she knows the answer. Why ask if you don't want to be told?" and earns himself detention
Yea that was a good moment in the book, sadly they didn’t include it in the movie.
Yeah, even the book itself said, "everyone thought Ron went too far as Snape slowly advanced towards him.", and the way Snape said, "If I ever catch you criticizing the way I teach a class again, you'll be very sorry indeed.", in an icy voice would have been properly menacing, with Alan Rickman's tone.
In my opinion he was so hyped about seeing his dad alive his emotions where running super high, then he realized it was himself it made him even more happy as he realized he had the power he had the knowledge and he was going to save his godfather. All together powered his Patronus to astro levels
No, he was holding on to the promise of him being with Sirius. That he has a family.

The Marauders

Prongs - James Potter
The other three became animagi so that they could be around Remus when he transformed during the full moon because a werewolf bite doesn't infect you if your already an animal
Did Lily too?
@@BrettDel No. The Marauders spent years learning to transform and were finally able to in their 5th year. Lily and James got together in 6th or 7th year.
And the Shreeking Shack was built specifically for Lupin to go to on the full moon to protect the other students. The Whomping Willow was planted to hide the secret passage.

You'll notice the movies get much, much darker as the trio get older. JK Rowling was going through a dark time when writing this book and she's said the Dementors represent her depression during that time. This is one of my favorites of the series and always love Gary Oldman in anything.

Seee I watched these movies atleast twice a month and I never knew that about jag ride umbrellla it makes so much sense
It's not actually mentioned in the books or the movies, that Dumbledore has fixed it, but it is mentioned, that the Dumledore's wand is the only wand in the world that can actually repair a broken wand... It is impossible to do it with any other wand. It will become more clear why later in the series. That, together with the fact that Hagrid can use his wand even when it's broken (when Ron's wand in aCoS, damaged but not completely snapped in half, is completely unusable) adds to the theory, that Dumbledore has in fact repaired Hagrid's wand.
To answer your question at 6:55 - They can't just use the chimney to get to Hogwarts because it's not allowed by the school for security reasons. Also not every chimney is connected to the floo network. They also can't apparate inside Hogwarts because the school has anti-apparition charms, also for security reasons. The Hogwarts Express is a safe, more manageable and discreet method of transporting dozens/hundreds of wizards at a time. It also helps logistically as it ensures all students get to school at the same time. Keep in mind the train was not always around. In the past when trains did not exist, wizards made their own way up to the school through various less discreet, less safe methods. It wasn't until the muggles invented the train that wizards copied the concept.
Also, muggle-born witches and wizards wouldn't have access to floo powder, so going to King's Cross would be much easier.
I always thought it was a nice way for students to meet on the train before school actually starts
35:20 "Voldemort didn't come into existence because German economy was failing."
This is my new favourite commentary of ANY TH-cam reaction channel.
25:34, you are mentioning the grounds and the way the environment is filmed. For this movie, Cuaron in cooperation with Rowling completely redesigned the actual setup of Hogwarts, repositioned the entrance to the common room and just generally made the whole layout make sense. Really cool, you can totally feel Hogwarts feeling like an actual place!
Plus, in keeping with the time travel theme, they added a giant clock tower, and scattered a bunch of other time and clock related props.
My favourite is the wizard in the Leaky Cauldron reading Stephen Hawking's _A Brief History of Time_
"Hagrid Starts a Gang," the wildest episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia to date.
The Marauders are the most interesting group in Harry Potter for me. You can read a lot of backstory about them and they were a nice group of friends who were up to no good.
And the movie completely leaves out any sort of explanation for who the Marauders were.
If i remember my Harry Potter lore the Marauders were Harry's father, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew when they were students, the names on the map, Mooney, Padfoot, Wormtail and Prongs were their codenames, Mooney is Lupin, Padfoot is Sirius Black, Wormtail is Peter Pettigrew and Prongs is Harry's father (because his patronus charm is a Stag).
@@Acme1970 Also because James was an Animagus and could turn into a stag.
They weren't nice actually
@@erikperhs_ I think they meant the Marauders were nice and fiercely loyal to each other in their school days. They had a very strong bond, loved each other as brothers and went through a lot to help each other.
James and Sirius were cruel to people they just didn't like though. They were spoiled idiot rich kids
I don't know if anyone said this.
Remus Lupin is the best Defense Against the Darks Arts Professor. He really made every lessons interesting and fun. If the movies just made a good montage of that, but the way they made the Boggart lesson scene is incredible too. He also pays attention to his students, letting Neville takes the first try. I really love him that's why I was bawling my eyes out during the scene where he resigns, both in book and movie. He needs a job to earn because as u can see his clothes is so fancy unlike other teachers, he can't get a job because he gets discriminated being a werewolf. This is my favorite book and movie, btw.
"He's the one teacher who actually taught harry a lot of things".
One of the two, actually. The other one being Snape. The brilliant part being that he taught him without even realizing he did. Harry learned things by simply watching him. Love it.
The action of shielding the kids was very telling. Snape was TERRIFIED of werewolves, and yet his first instinct was to defend the trio. That was what should have clued us in to his real story.
I absolutely love how active you guys are as an audience, with theories and thoughts and ideas just thrown out there willy-nilly 🙂 too many reactors just sit there kind of quietly and hum or scream when action happens. I think part of why I love your way is that

Also, I haven’t checked if anyone else has answered already (they probably have...) but Dumbledore is somewhere around 150 years old at this point in time, wizards live quite a bit longer than us mere muggles.
It's only Ron who guesses Dumbledore to be 150; actually, he was born in 1881 and thus would be 112 in this particular movie set in 1993/94. Other witches and wizards, like Bathilda Bagshot (author of a history book used in school) or Madam Marchbanks (oversees final exams at Hogwarts, and was already doing so when Dumbledore graduated) are obviously still prove of that fact.
@@kaisattelberg5548 so very true! 😃 I forgot that he was guessing and was too lazy to do the math myself 😅 Thank you 🤗
Prisoner of Azkaban is the best Harry Potter book and movie. The later ones get more serious, darker, and more contiguous; this is the last really contained narrative, and in my opinion, best balances serious and entertaining. And the stable time loop is very well handled.
My favorite of the movies, but I watched the movies before I read the books. I think this movie stands up really well without having the book lore. The first two are childish if you don’t have the book context, and the remaining movies have major plot points that are missing if you don’t know the books.
This one is the only one that works for me as a movie rather than as an adaptation.
After reading the books, I like the other movies almost as much as this one, but PoZ holds a special place because I loved it the first time I saw it.
The sequence in the Shrieking Shack, with all the revelations, is so tightly structured that one slight change would bring down the whole structure.
The acting was so impressive that I actually got scared for Harry during that scene; even though I had read the books.
@@tremorsfan With David Thewlis, Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall and Gary Oldman all in one scene its a bit of a who's who of brilliant British actors.
Emma Thompson can play absolutely an character. Her filmography is amazing.
I had no idea that was Emma Thompson for quite some time after watching this movie for the first time.
Remember that the twins with the map see Ron sleeping with a man named Peter every night and never brought that up. Just something to think about.
1. Yes, sadly Dumbledore's old actor Richard Harris passed away after the second movie and had to be replaced with Michael Gambon.
2. The revelation that Peter Pettigrew was Scabbers all along actually helps explain why Harry didn't see him when looking for him in the hallway at night. He wasn't invisible, he was sneaking around as a rat. If you listen closely during that scene, you can actually hear scurrying and scratching sounds.
3. Sirius turns into dog, not a wolf. Granted a very vicious and wild looking dog, but still.

Damn, I've never seen someone hide spoilers by writing upside down. Usually ppl just hide them by skipping lines, but you really went the extra mile.
@@michaelhawkins7389 No clue. I've never seen anyone do it.
What the fuck
I love that you guys noticed Snape protecting the kids.
Whenever you feel sad, just remember lupin’s words. “Eat. You’ll feel better.”
Specifically chocolate, too
I must add; when Snape tell off poor Hermione in class, in the book Ron was outraged and said out loud the same as you did. And got detention for it. Book Ron is a bit different from the goofy movie Ron. Brave, funny, rude and very loyal. And he has the knowledge about the wizarding world Harry and Hermione lack. In the movies Hermione knows the wizarding world better than Ron. Weird.
Funfact: In the Scene were everybody is sleeping in the great hall Daniell Radcliff (Harry Potter actor) asked the Producer if they will putt his Sleepingbag next too a girl He liked. However the Snape and Dumbledor actors puld a prank on Him and putt a fartingmaschin in his sleepingbag and embarest Him infront of everyone. 🤣 Poor Radcliff
39:11 "I'm still uncertain about Snape."
That's PROFESSOR Snape, George! But Siriusly, take a look at Snape's stance and movement just about 30:28 It looks pretty strongly like someone putting himself between children and a threat, to me!
Edit: Come to think of it, that could be symbolic of his personality -- between a child, and a threat.
There are reason for Snape being the way he is, that will become clearer as the movies continue, it does not get explained quite as well as in the books, but still gives you an idea of why he is who he is.
"bad people are the worst" profound wisdom from simone😌
When the snake turned into the clown, everyone always goes: Thats worse.
36:20 lol this is the exact thing that Harry thinks in the books. He imagines him living together with Sirius.
I love the director for this movie. The wide establishing shots of the grounds/scenery is really nice and I loved seeing exactly what I imagined from the books. I'm glad they kept those kinds of shots through the rest of the series
A lot of people like this third movie because of Alfonso Cuaron's direction. He brought a seriously comedic dark sense of humor (like the whomping willow plucking the twittering birds) to the story. Plus, the cast had really come into their own as actors by this movie. Add to that the performances by new supporting actors Emma Thompson, David Thewlis and Gary Oldman, plus a lot of clever plot twists (thank the book for that), and you have one of the top Harry Potter movies, for sure. And yes, Richard Harris, the original Dumbledore, unfortunately passed away after the second movie.
I think that Richard Harris and Michael Gambon did a great job as Dumbledore. Harris got the kind nature and voice down perfectly while Gambon got the physicality and energy of the character done better. When I re read the books I imagine it with Gambon's appearance and Harris's voice.
The movies get more serious and dark because, not only are the characters growing up, but the original child readers were also growing up.
Lupin was never in love with Lily. He thought of her like a sister. And because he was best friends with James, when they started dating, she was already around. He felt so comfortable around her because she was so supportive of him, just like his friends.
You shouldnt forget that Snape probably didnt had an Wand when shielding the Kids from Lupin. Going against an Werwolf without an weapon to protect someone is even more impressive in my eyes.
Regarding Hagrids umbrella, it isn't mentioned in the movie but it's implied in the books that when he was expelled for getting framed by Riddle, his wand was snapped (which is basically just shy of execution or exile, as far as wizards are concerned) and he was able to somehow use the pieces of his wand while making the umbrella, which is why he used it to do magic. Which is sort of tragic.
To answer why they don't only use teleportation as transportation: Hogwarts is OLD magic, basically has tons of protective spells that limit things like teleportation.
A plot point in Goblet of Fire.
@@streakermaximus I wasnt sure if they ever touch on that in the movies.
Like Richard Harris before him, Michael Gambon has also now passed away.
Ohhh yes I've been waiting for this! Here's where the series gets really good!
The time turner seems to create closed causality loops so that even though you can go back in time, you can't really change anything that has already happened.
Or really horrible things happen if you try to.
There is actually a loop hole (I think). From what I understand, in the books (again I think) it was explained that people cannot change things that they know for certain happened. So in theory, Harry could have tried to capture Pettigrew, but this probably would have meant the Harry wasn't there to cast the Patronus. Hermione on the other hand could have done it with the point-me spell.
you can change things but its forbidden by law and time time turners are not publicly available they come from the ministry and only for special cases also they only go back hours so you cannot go back years
The entire plot of Cursed Child revolves around Albus Potter and his friend, Draco Malfoy's son Scorpius, using a stolen Time Turner to go back in time and try to save Cedric Diggory, which ends up screwing over the entirety of causality and butterfly effects into a version of history where VOLDEMORT WON, while Harry Potter and Draco put aside their differences to try and find their sons in time and put it all right again.
@@wolf99000 They NORMALLY can't go back years. The ones that the Ministry allows to be used, anyhow.
Read the Cursed Child. It is a good story.
My favorite little detail in this films is when Lupin has turned into his werewolf form, and Snape comes over and puts himself between the trio of kids and Lupin, pushing them behind him with his arms out... they had only ever showed what a dick he is to everyone up to this point, and it's the first time I remember the hint at the possibility that maybe there's a good side to him too.
The Patronus is my all-time favorite spell. The full Patronus is downright beautiful (and the music is epic).
The worst part of finding a channel like this is at first there are lots of reactions to watch, then there are none, because you watched them all way too quickly.
My favorite little tidbit of lore is that of course the Marauders were Moony (Lupin), Wormtail (Peter), Padfoot (Sirius), and Prongs (James). Meaning that even after his death, James is helping Harry.
The Marauder's Map was created by Moony (Lupin), Wormtail (Pettigrew), Padfoot (Sirius Black), and Prongs (James Potter). Once Lupin became a werewolf, the other three friends (Pettigrew, Black, and Potter) studied and each became an animagus whose animals (Rat, Dog, Stag) also became their individual Patronus form. They did this so that they could wander with and keep Lupin under control when he was in werewolf form. The book covers this in detail while the scriptwriters never really brought out this aspect of Harry's history.
The answer to like 90% of all worldbuilding questions in Harry Potter is either "stubborn adherence to tradition", or "political corruption". It becomes more and more apparent over time that the British wizard society has... issues. (The inhumane treatment of hippogriffs or the almost literal "Hell on Earth" that is Azkaban don't look all that out of place next to the elf slavery from the previous movie...)
Voldemort started as just a regular dude, but his power and influence didn't just come from nowhere. Your comparison to German history is actually _very_ on point...
It is kinda funny that in the end, with elements like presentience and shadows of the future, Salasthar wasn't that far off...
With a slight detour to Orwell's 1984.
Also, as near as I can figure it, that there really aren't that many wizards. The entire population of the UK is only about 70 million. What percentage are wizards? It's not clear, but even if it's 1 in 10 thousand (which seems too high), that's only 7000 wizards and witches in all of the UK. There simply isn't that big of a pool to choose from, which is why so many teachers and staff are incompetent or downright evil.
@@PhilBagels In CoS, Ron specifically mentions that Great Britain's magical community is not that big. And that if the Pure Bloods of old did not start having families with Muggle Borns, they would have died out a long time ago.
Voldy just capitalised on the deep seated divisions for his own want for power and immortality, so the purebloods were just used and maybe even lied to in some cases. That’s basically found in every society in world history unfortunately, not just Germany.
Harry's Patronus is so powerful, mostly because he knows he's done it before
That kid talking about the grimm, made the absolute most of the few lines he had in this movie ...so memorable
I can't wait for your reaction to the fourth one, that's my favourite. Oh and Dumbledore made sure he had plausible deniability, I loved that. Regarding Snape, he is still a teacher and responsible for the safety of the students and he REALLY wants to get the position of Defense of the Dark Arts teacher so apprehending two potentially dangerous criminal wizards would give him hell of a resume.
I love who they cast as Professor Lupin and Sirius Black. David Thewlis and Gary Oldman are incredible actors with sensational characters in their repertoires. Two of my favorite villain roles from David are the evil King Einon from Dragonheart and the God of War Ares from the movie Wonder Woman. One of my ultimate favorite Gary Oldman roles is Commissioner Jim Gordon in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy of Batman movies.
The Wizarding world has such different standards of safety from us because they can fix almost any problems or injuries quite easily with magic. We saw Harry regrow bones in the last movie. So their safety standards aren't as high as ours
To keep it real, I'd honestly find life in the magical community boring if they adhered to real world safety norms.
Fun fact: David Thewlis (Lupin) had originally auditioned to play Professor Quirrel, for the first movie, but Chris Columbus didn't cast him because he thought Thewlis had more potential for a different character.
People can only use Flue Powder to go to or from the Headmasters office, otherwise Hogwarts is sealed off from teleportation, hence the train/boats/thresteges...
there's a great story about filming the scene where all the kids are sleeping on the floor. somebody snuck a remote control fart machine into Daniel's sleeping bag & activated it as Dumbledore & Snape walked past. there's footage, it's quite funny.
It was actually Dumbledore himself, if I recall correctly
You cannot IMAGINE how excited I was for this video!!
I'd be living my life and sometimes I'd think "one day, CineBinge will react to Prisioner of Azkaban and it will be awesome"
✨✨✨ *AND IT'S FINALLY HERE* ✨✨✨
The moment of your videos I like the most is the speech before watching the movie, when you try to figure out what will happen and you don't get even close. 😄
13:25 Those glass tracking shots, long single takes, lax rules about uniform(you can see the students wearing their uniforms more casually) and elaborate sets instead of CGI were the brainchild of Alfonso Cuaron. These simple directorial changes moved the game ahead, and pushed the bar further higher for the film series and its view of Hogwarts.
very few people understand that the photos are literally Sirius protesting to being arrested for something he didn't do. Good on you guys for pointing it out.
This is my favorite of the series but they do get even better as they go.
The knight in the background paintings-Sir Cadogan (a Don Quixote analog)-has a very minor part in the books. He is tasked by Dumbledore to search all of the paintings in the school until the fat lady is found.
I love that quote,
"Is he a good person but also just a dick?" 🤣🤣
Perfect way to explain Snape
A little trivia: in the scene where Dumbledore and Snape are walking past students who are sleeping on the floor. They had to reshoot that scene several times because the actor who played Snape had a fart machine and he kept hitting it when he past the Daniel, Rupert and Emma, causing them to laugh and so they had to redo it.
You can’t go back in time and remove the reason you went back in time, like killing Voldemort, that would be a paradox.
They saved the hippogriffe, but their pasts elves didn’t know they did.
The movies use a stable time loop concept: whatever you do after going back to the past, you already did. You can’t change that.
Not a fan of time travel, although as you mentioned - they kept it straight and simple. While a 'powerful' tool, we never see it again and that's a relief. Since there's no such thing as 'time travel', we people make up all the 'science' we want, because it cannot be proven or debunked.
@@terrylandess6072 Science is just theory, hypothesis, experimenting, observation, and probable conclusions not set in stone. It is not made up, it is ever-evolving and not some religious mumbo jumbo.
The original actor that played Dumbledore past away after chamber of secrets. The actors that play the Weasley twins are twins in real life
The Dementors are basically a physical depiction of depression - like Ron said "I felt weird though. Like I'd never be cheerful again." They go to Harry because of his trauma and all his bad memories, even his suppressed ones like his parents death. If they perform the 'kiss' and suck out your soul you're still living - but you're basically nothing more than an empty shell. THat's why no one's been able to escape Azkaban, people don't have the will to even try and escape because they keep reliving all the worst moments of their life - remember how Hagrid was sent there for a short while, he kept reliving the day he was expelled from Hogwarts, the day he had to let Norbert go and the day his dad died, and that it was like being born again when he was allowed to leave. the knowledge that he was innocent wasn't a happy one but it kept Sirius from going insane, then when he saw Peter in rat form on Ron's shoulder when his parents won that money and went to Egypt and got their picture in the paper about it he was able to hold onto it because it also didn't count as a happy thought, and he was able to find the strength to escape as a dog (dementors are blind, they sense humans but not always animals).
Hermione didn't just have a time turner and then used it for more classes, she specifically asked for it so that she could do more classes! Professor McGonagall vouched for her at the ministry if I remember correctly and she was allowed to use it for more schooling only!
Also time turners can only go back in time for like 6 hours, and in this they never changed anything, everything they did when they went back in time already happened so the hippogriff never died in the first place, if they went back in time and killed Voldemort if that was possible he wouldn’t be here already
Well, depends if we speak of *that* book
@@Chicklo11 That book isn't that bad. It is a pretty good read, honestly speaking. It just departs from a novel to instead be a script for a play.
And it's name is 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.'
You might as well say it, it's going to continue to exist whether you say it or not.
@@Chicklo11 the books are way better than the movies were. They don't skip important lore
@@Andiewhyte2149 ::chuckle:: There wouldn't be "important lore" if not for the books; it's the usual difficulty that novels have a LOT more background information than movies can manage. I like the idea that the movies are kind of like "Cliff's notes" of the books.
The terrible thing about Dementors is that not only can they suck out every good emotion within you to the point that you will eventually reach an unrecoverable depression but it won't physically kill you so you'll be a husk of a shell of your former self,oh and it doesn't matter where you are they can always find you even in the comforts of the muggle world,those things are the reason Dementors are so much more terrifying than even Voldemort himself
Hmmmm, "Support your local Coven" on t-shirt, Maggie the cat.... (Slowly piecing things together) If I only had a large, hanging scale and a duck to weigh her against.
She turned me into a newt!
...
...
...I got better...
I think my most favorite part of the movie is how Dumbledore knows everything that's going on. And how he was stalling to give them time to rescue Buckbeak. Also right before the scene between Hermione and Malvoy you can see her hand in the background because they were watching.
Talking about the strawberries! 😅
You might have caught it, but one of my favorite quotes of all time is in this movie! "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."
Also, if you watch the credits you can see a guy and girl on the Maurader's Map in what seems to be a very sexual position 😂😂
An interesting fact about the whole chocolate after getting attacked by Dementors thing is that in real life, Chocolate has a chemical in it that makes people feel happy, making it a suitable and logical remedy for people that have encountered a Dementor.
Did you guys see who's the actor for Sirius Black?
Fun Fact: In the books this is explained but when Peter, Sirius, James and Remus were in Hogwarts Remus was attacked and turned into a werewolf! Remus' friends wanted to help him so they became Animagus' so they could hang out as animals! The Marauders Map is what they used to sneak around after hours! Moony (Remus Lupin), Wormtail (Peter Pettigrew), Padfoot (Sirius Black), and Prongs (James Potter)!
Thank you guys for this video it really helped me calm down after my anxiety attack. "Snape is a good person but he’s also a dick" was hilarious and accurate
YOOOO! I just noticed that when Lupin jumped in front of the Boggart, it turned into the full moon because he’s a WEREWOLF
Good catch! In the book it was less clear that it *was* the full moon, it just looked like a round silver shape, but honestly, with the name "Lupin", I was already leaning in that direction.
The actors for Fred and George are actually twins
The books explain why Harry continues to go back to the Dursleys every summer.
This film feels WAY more how the books read. Parts 1 and 2 are great but Director Chris Columbus adds that “Disneyesque” campiness to it. This film is where the story becomes darker in tone and this Director really captures that. You guys should read the books.
This movie also was the one that started to deviate from the books more.
This is to me BY FAR the best of the Harry Potter films. I also know a lot of other people consider it the best as well. The directing is absolutely first rate, music is awesome, acting is excellent, pacing perfect - no flab and story is a tightly constructed adaptation of the book.
"Azkaban" is where the Harry Potter movies truly begin. The first two Chris Columbus movies are really just laying pipe. From here on out, all of them have their joys -- though this is the last Potter film that John Williams scored, so the music is never quite as epic and emotional.
In terms of plot maybe. As films themselves I think this is as good as it gets. Goblet of Fire had some weird decisions and from 5 to 8 it was the same director that failed, imo, to capture the Harry Potter vibe like these first 3 did. They feel souless.
@@derekringer7143 While 'somewhat' off topic, I felt the same about the Twilight series. The first had Catherine Hardwicke directing, and while she had the task of world building - I felt she also had the best handle on the overall feeling. The following movies had 3 different directors between them and while entertaining in their own way - they never quite reach the first IMO.
Scabbers/Pettigrew was originally Ron's brother Percy's familiar. The Weasleys aren't rich and they're a big family, so each child passes down their handmedowns to poor Ron; Scabbers was just another handmedown from Percy after Percy was gifted an owl for becoming a Prefect in his 5th year at Hogwarts.
________________________________________________________________________________
Professor Lupin's first name is Remus; Remus in mythology was the twin brother of Romulus, who gave his name to the city the twins founded: Rome. Romulus and Remus were raised by a she-wolf.
Pettigrew spoke the truth; he was friends with Sirius, Remus, and Harry's father James when they were students at Hogwarts. They were the Marauders: "Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs", were their nicknames.
Remus Lupin - Moony
Peter Pettigrew - Wormtail
Sirius Black - Padfoot
James Potter - Prongs
Peter, Sirius, and James were animagi; James's animagus form matched his stag patronum, and his nickname 'Prongs' referenced his antlers.
Remus hid his lycanthropy, which otherwise would have been problematic in wizarding society. Snape also knew; Snape's forte was always potions and he supplied Remus with a potion to ward off the transformation (which explains the bottle on the train ride in).
Remus's animagus friends would stay with him when he was in wolf form, to steer him away from others. Werewolves don't attack animals, only humans. I imagine the four of them created the Marauders Map to avoid running into people while Remus was a wolf, which kept people safe and Remus's condition a secret.
________________________________________________________________________________
About Azkaban and the dementors:
Dementors were developed from JK Rowlings personal experience with deep depression. She crafted them as personifications of something that causes hopelessness, isolation, loss of clear thinking, and extreme lethargy. The cold represents the loss of any warm feeling or hope. Their presence cripples the individual in every possible way.
Dementors are presented as feral magical creatures that consume positive thought and energy. They don't have a lot of intelligence but rudimentary arrangements can be with them if the arrangements are very basic and simple.
They are managed by the Ministry of Magic and have a mutually-beneficial Ministry use: functioning as the guards of Azkaban Prison. They are happy to keep to Azkaban to feed on the energies of those sent there and the prisoners are kept there by having their thoughts, hopes, and wills sapped away by the dementors. Azkaban is a building sitting apart from land in the ocean. With dementors draining their energy, they are unable to plan or effect escape or use magic to do so. They are held there not by bars or razor wire, but by the suppression and torture imposed by the dementors.
Occasionally there is a dark wizard/witch that merits something like extinguishment; they will never be released from Azkaban and may pose some possible danger to escape or committed foul enough deeds to merit more than just imprisonment. The Ministry of Magic may direct the dementors to give them 'the dementor's kiss'. In this act, so much energy is sucked out of the individual as to basically remove their soul and consciousness. It doesn't kill the person entirely, but it leaves their body functioning while being dead in every other respect. It's a punishment that is irreversible, leaving the person in a vegetative state until natural causes takes them.
________________________________________________________________________________
Dumbledore keeps a LOT of secrets, and McGonagall and Sirius help.
People are supposed to register with the Ministry of Magic when they become werewolves, for public safety reasons. Lupin was attacked and developed the condition while still a child, before he was offered his admittance to Hogwarts. Dumbledore not only kept the secret, but cordoned off the 'Shrieking Shack' for Young Lupin to go to during full moons. He also made a tunnel between the Shack and the Hogwarts building perimeter and planted the Womping Willow over it. The shrieks convinced those not in the know that it was extremely haunted and the Willow kept the curious out of the tunnel.
Lupin's friends during his time as a Hogwarts student was James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew; they wanted to help their friend during those nights he 'wasn't himself'. So Dumbledore allowed McGonagall to teach them how to become animagi. Again, every animagus is supposed to register with the Ministry of Magic, but Dumbledore covered for them, keeping their secret. Becoming an animagus is a lengthy, complicated process that isn't successful for everyone. You don't get to choose your animal form; it arises from your nature.
Sirius being a dog was what allowed him to escape Azkaban; it took him 12 years to pull enough energy together to change into a dog but once he did, he found the dementors ignored him. This allowed him to escape.
________________________________________________________________________________
Hermione is highly logical; she doesn't work well with intuition, and divination is all about intuition.
Plus, she doesn't do well dealing with her blind spots. Learning and information is easy for her, but anything that she can't do easily frustrates her terribly. You saw some of this in the first film with her trying to get her broom to respond. She's just not built for psychic stuff.
And I LOVE how George caught on that Harry and Hermione were going through hormonal/puberty things.
Just wait until the next film, when late-bloomer Ron gets a double-barrel dose of hormones!
________________________________________________________________________________
Harry and Hermione were in a self-resolving time loop. They didn't change a timeline, they fulfilled one.
Hermione was well-instructed on the dangers of messing with time. Going back to interrupt Voldemort is too much and was never meant to be. What Harry and Hermione was doing had already happened, and you can see the evidence of it.
And yes; the whole point of being given the timeturner in the first place was to feed her prodigious hunger for knowledge and double her courseload.
Alfonso Cuaron is certainly the best director of the entire saga
But that doesn't mean they should bring him back for FANTASTIC BEASTS
They should hire a different director, to bring something new
@@iceman10129 I like movie sequels done by different directors
This way each movie can have an identity of their own
Plus, I'm really tired of David Yates style
One thing the movie doesn't really do a good job of explaining is that the marauders were in fact James Potter (Harry's dad), Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. They created the marauder's map.
They are also all animagus (can turn into animals at will) other than Lupin who is a werewolf. Sirius can turn into a dog, Pettigrew a rat, and James Potter could turn into a stag. They learned this ability in order to keep Lupin company during his werewolf transformations every full moon. Their animal forms is also how they got their nicknames! "Moony" is Lupin, "Wormtail" is Pettigrew, "Padfoot" is Sirius and "Prongs" is James.
So to help you with a few of your questions, yes fred and george are actually played by twins. the marauder's map was made by a quartet of trouble making students at hogwarts, non other than james potter, sirius black ,lupin, and peter petegrew. Known repectively as prong, pad foot, moony, and worm tail) james, sirius and peter all learned how to turn into animals to accompany lupin when he turned into a were wolf so they could keep an eye on him, as were wolves wouldn't attack animals with out reason unlike how they attack humans on sight.
I could have sworn they said that they met each other at the auditions 😋 /s
So someone will explain this in more detail but the Marauder’s Map was created by Remus Lupin (Moony) Peter Pettigrew (Wormtail) Sirius Black (Padfoot) and James Potter (Prongs)
each of those names relates to their animagus powers - moony because hes a werewolf so he fears the moon, wormtail because he becomes a rat, padfoot for dog, and prongs for the antlers of his deer form.
The first good Potter film in the series. And still my favorite of the series.
@@DmanDmax No, I don't mean that. The first two films were FAR too long, and the acting was so amateurish, it kind of kept suspending belief in the story. Not good films. But this one, Order of the Phoenix and Half Blood Prince all really stand out as quality films.
@@DmanDmax the adaptation of the books of the 3rd movie and onwards is brutal. the amount of unnecessarily changed dialogue in this movie hurts
8:55 This is something that you wont get from the Harry Potter movies...Dumbledore was a teacher at Hogwarts for a super long time but he wasn't the headmaster when Tom Riddle aka "Voldemort" studied at Hogwarts...when Voldemort graduated from Hogwarts, he was offered a teaching role for the "Defense Against Dark Arts" position by the previous headmaster...but he denied the position but was assured that the position will be always available for him...two decades later when Tom Riddle returned to Hogwarts, he was is the process of becoming Voldemort, his appearance has changed drastically and Dumbledore was now the headmaster at Hogwarts...Voldemort reapplied for the Defence Against Dark Arts position and Dumbledore denied him the position as he sensed something off about him...so in revenge, Voldemort jinxed/cursed the position to ensure that no applicant of the Defense Against the Dark Arts post could keep it for more than one year.
What really annoyed me about this movie was that many of Hermione’s lines were actually Ron’s in the book. When Hermione said to Sirius, “if you want Harry you’ll have to get past us first!” Ron was the one who actually said that despite having a broken leg. And I really didn’t like how Ron agreed with Snape when he called her “an insufferable know-it-all.” In the book Ron actually flat out yelled at Snape right in class because he was mad at how he treated Hermione. I will never understand why the filmmakers treated Ron so poorly in both this film and other films. It’s not until the last two films that he was finally given his great character 180 like he should have been from the beginning.
Anti-male discrimination. And I agree the writers are insufferable.
the other actor did die and that actor is from 1999 sleepy hallows or toys with robin williams if you have seen those
