😅 ironically I just saw the notification that he's watched the fifth movie but I wanted to watch him watch the other ones first so at this point he knows Sorry it's not a notification cuz I don't follow this guy this is the first video of his I'm watching but I got a suggested video which was him watching the fifth one
Nicholas Flamel was a real life person and his house, from the Middle Ages, still stands in Paris. It was an inn for several centuries but is now a restaurant. Because of the popularity of the books and movies, they have created a Harry Potter menu for children. On my last trip to Paris, I had lunch there with an old friend.
My daughter was reading the books when they came out and I started reading them too and loved them. We even ran to the store to get the midnight releases and I got one for each of us. This has me in tears right now as she passed in 2017. Harry Potter has always been a sweet reminder of happy times. ❤
Harry's clothes weren't a choice. They were big and baggy on him because they're Dudley's old clothes. Ron actually has 5 older brothers abd a younger sister. His 2 oldest brothers Bill & Charlie already graduated from Hogwarts. Hogwarts is in Scotland. Some wizards teach their kids at home or send them to other wizarding schools around Europe. A lot of Slytherin's nasty moves in the Quidditch in the movies got them penalties in the books. Read backwards the inscription on the mirror says: I show not your face but your heart's desire. Erised is desire spelled backwards. Yes Firenze is a centaur. Definitely recommend reading the books or listening to the audiobooks. They're all excellent with a lot more details that explain some things the movies left out. For instance, in the book Ron was walking around the chessboard like the other 2 and the queen smashed him over the head with her stone arm knocking him out. The love of Harry's mother providing him protection from Voldemort is ancient magic. Her sacrifice created a sort of natural spell that Harry now carries in his blood. There are a lot of different types and aspects of magic that are only explained in the books.
There's a cultural convention known as Victorian Flower Language that folks in the late 1800s used to follow. Flowers were assigned certain meanings that determined what flower was appropriate to give or display in any situation. 'Petunia' had the meaning of 'anger/resentment'. ('Lily' meant 'purity/loving'.)
Richard Harris, who played Dumbledore originally, passed away after being in the first two movies, and another actor took over the part; that's why he didn't look familiar to you.
"Another actor" acting like it wasn't the actor who plays Gandalf.... Ian McKellen isn't just some actor... ahahaha! Just saying.... He's not my favorite version of Dumbledore honestly... But that's ok. He did give us the best after Richard Harris. RIP Richard! You were an amazing Dumbledore for us!
@@amberhoward7807but it wasn’t Ian McKellen, iirc he turned down the role of Dumbledore because he didn’t want to be known as 2 infamous literary wizards. Michael Gambon took over the role after Harris died of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
The director was Chris Columbus for the 1st 2 films. His daughter plays Susan Bones (ginger Hufflepuff) who is next to Hermione a lot in the next film.
The love is a magic. The books go into it far deeper than the films. Lily sacrificed herself to try to protect Harry meaning Voldemort can’t ever touch him because her love lives within Harry’s blood.
Welcome to The Wizarding World rabbit hole that is Harry Potter. The best thing about the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone, to me is that the chambers following the third-floor corridor containing Fluffy each play to the strengths of Harry, Ron and Hermione. The Devil's Snare chamber caters to Hermione's knowledge of spells. The room with the winged keys caters to Harry's skill with quidditch. And the chess room caters to Ron's knowledge of how to play chess. Side notes: The Sorting Hat chooses new students' houses based on their corresponding personality traits: Gryffindor-Bravery, helping others, and chivalry. Hufflepuff-Hard work, patience, loyalty, and fair play. Ravenclaw-Intelligence, knowledge, and wit. Slytherin-Ambition, cunning and resourcefulness. Erised (The Mirror of Erised) is the word desire spelled backward. Hedwig is a snowy owl. They have ruffled wing feathers to silence their flight so prey animals don't hear them coming. They also have natural camouflage due to their coloration, and they're the only birds who don't have bare feet due to their habitats, like the Arctic Tundra. At the time of the deaths of Lily and James Potter at the hands of Voldemort, Harry was only 15 months old.
Still sad they cut out the challenge that was actually written for Hermione. Now we have to make up that the Devil's Snare was Hermione's moment instead of the potion riddle, which was the real test for intelligence. It also gave her a real reason for staying behind and not just to lamely nurse Ron like in the movie. I get it would've been too convoluted for film, but still disappointed as it's just the beginning of the movies cutting away at Hermione's brilliance.
@@_mys that's one of my pet peeves with the producers of the films. They cut out way too much and transferred some of Ron's intelligent moments over to Hermione. The films portrayed Ron as a major moron.
Oh my god you’re in for a ride, I’m sure you’re going to love these!! Just to make sure some of your questions get answered (from the books, spoiler free) : - About the chess scene, in the book the chess pieces decapitate/stab each other when they knock each other out, which is why Hermione and Harry are so scared for Ron. He is actually hit on the head by the opposing chess piece, and goes out cold. - About the whole ‘his mother’s love protected Harry from Voldemort’, this is a plot point that will come back, and it is clearer in the book, so I’ll quote Dumbledore’s answer directly: ‘Your mother died to save you. If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love. He didn’t realise that love as powerful as your mother’s for you leaves its own mark. Not a scar, no visible sign… to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection for ever. It is in your very skin. Quirrell, full of hatred, greed and ambition, sharing his soul with Voldemort, could not touch you for this reason. It was agony to touch a person marked by something so good.’ - Finally, I don’t think it was made clear in the movie, but it was revealed that Dumbledore is the one who sent him the Invisibility Cloak (which had belonged to his father, but had been in Dumbledore’s possession at the time of his death). Anyway, loved your channel, and I highly recommend reading the books to go even deeper into the lore!!
The reason most muggles don't see magic happening around them is sometimes attributed to protective spells having been placed on objects or places so that regular none magical folks can't see or notice them. For example, Hogwarts is a massive castle located in the highlands of Scotland. But when muggles come across it, they only see old ancient empty castle ruins. If muggles find themselves getting too close to it, then suddenly the muggles will start to think they have someplace important they have to go to that they previously forgotten about. In rare other cases when a muggle happens to witness magic by mistake, the local wizarding government called The Ministry of Magic will come and magically erase that particular memory from the muggle's mind. Certain cases are allowed only to a certain extent, like in the case of a wizard or witch having been born from a muggle family or is being raised by a muggle family like Harry and the Dursleys for example. But even then the wizarding child is not allowed to perform magic even in front of their muggle family even though their muggle family members know about their relative being born a witch or wizard and that they attend Hogwarts. The Wizarding communities consider it vital that their existence remain a secret for their protection incase for example muggles decide to bring back the witch trials and start burning wizards at the stake again among many other reasons as well. 🏰🪄
The Wizarding communities consider it vital that their existence remain a secret for their protection incase for example muggles decide to bring back the witch trials and start burning wizards at the stake again among many other reasons as well. Which to me never made sense. Like the wizards couldn't join together and fight back and basically annihilate any muggles that tried. I find it a bit ridiculous that they are so worried about it. Like they could have sectioned off a whole piece of the UK as a homeland and put magical protections around it to keep muggles out.
Fairly new subscriber here. Not your usual I'm sure. I was raised in Norwich but I live in the USA. All my 6 boys were read the books as bedtime stories. Then the films came out! Do you understand how difficult it was to leash 6 boys as they wait about a year for the next film? I loved every minute of it! I also am excited about your reference to Full Metal Alchemist! I'm 70 and still watching anime and play video games. Like I said, not your usual! I'll be watching....
The original UK published book is called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. A philosopher is what people in medieval times called an alchemist or sorcerer. But when the book was about to be published in America, the publishers didn't think that American children would understand what a philosopher is according to medieval terms. The Philosopher's Stone is an actual medieval legend like King Arthur and Merlin is. When the first Harry Potter movie was being filmed, they made all the actors who had to speak the name of the stone film the scenes twice, saying both the American and UK version of the name. In the American version of the movie, the actors call it the Sorcerer's Stone, but in the United Kingdom version, the actors call it the Philosopher's Stone. This movie series is right now in the process of being rebooted for TV and is presently in preproduction. Each season of the TV show will be a Harry Potter book. It was decided that the first season will be called the Philosopher's Stone. 📖🏰🪄🎬🗣🎥🎞📽🖥💻📲
I enjoyed this reaction, but do have to disagree that the idea that his mother's love lives in his skin is "bullshit." The idea of sacrifice born of love (and love in general) being a form of powerful magic is an important element in this story. They didn't just wedge it in to force a heartwarming moment or something. Also, this actor is the original Dumbledore, and you're likely remembering the actor who replaced him when he unfortunately passed away after filming the next movie. They give very different interpretations of Dumbledore, but I enjoy both. I think each iteration of Dumbledore fits well into the individual films, even if the change may make the character less cohesive in the series overall (which is a criticism I've often heard about the performance of the second actor). Hope you react to the rest of the films, because I'm down for the Harry Potter journey if you are. Cheers!
The witches here can do magic without wands, but it is better to use a wand so that the power is more maximal. For example, African witches no longer use their wands,They use magic using their bare hands
The reason Voldemort can’t touch him isn’t because of just love, but the sacrifice his mother made with her own life for her son. That’s a different magic and a different love that voldemort can’t comprehend
You did watch the extended version, but pretty much all the events of the film are the same between versions. It's mostly just a couple of extra lines added here or there. No major scenes were added or altered. Like, the mirror was in the original film, but they cut out Harry's nightly obsession, and went straight from showing it to Ron, to being caught by Dumbledore. Otherwise, whatever you thought "wasn't in the original" at the end, you probably just forgot about it. It seems like you remembered more about the first part of the film than the end. Maybe you started watching it more than you finished it as a kid. 😛
they’re aged up in the movies but in the books harry’s parents had him at 20 and died the following year aged 21. but yes wizards age much slower than non-magical people
Quidditch has 7 players in each team. 3 Chasers 2 Beaters 1 Keeper 1 Seeker The Chasers are in charge of scoring goals by catching the Quaffle balls and throwing them into one of 3 hoops at the other team's side of the field. Beaters are in charge of protecting their players from getting hit by the bludger balls with wooden bat's. They are also in charge of hitting the opposing team with the bludgers by using their bats. The Keeper's job is to protect their team's hoops by not allowing the opposing team to score any goals by blocking the Quaffle and preventing it from getting through their hoops. The Seeker's job is to find the Snitch and catch it before the other team does. Once the Snitch is caught, then the game ends. You Don't necessarily win when you catch the snitch. Yes, the snitch is 150 points, and the game does end when the snitch is caught. But the team that catches the snitch can lose the game if the opposing team had already gained far more points prior to the snitch being caught. So it's important to score as many points as possible with the Quaffle and hoops before any seeker of any team catches the snitch, causing the game to end. Unfortunately, they never show it in any of the Harry Potter movies (so this is not a spoiler to any future Potter movies) but in one of the books Harry witnesses a certain team loose a certain Quidditch match dispite that team's Seeker having caught the snitch. BTW, did you know that people became such a massive fan of the fictional sport of Quidditch that college students made it into a real-world international sport that is played in real colleges all over the world. Players compete with broomstick between their legs, and the snitch is a person (dressed in gold with a handkerchief tucked into his or her's belt) running around all over the place. The seeker has to catch the person playing as the snitch by grabbing onto the handkerchief and pulling it off the snitch's body. You can do a TH-cam search and view a few matches played in different countries. I have seen 2 or 3 Quidditch matches in person back in the day. Tons of fun. If you ever want to know how Quidditch is played and its fictional history, the author of Harry Potter, JK Rowling, also wrote other books for charities. One of them is called Quidditch Through the Ages, and it is written as if it were one of Harry Potter's text books. 🧹📚
I don't know if it was a simple spelling mistake, probably was but it's bludgers, not bluggers. I just found out that bludger is a real word meaning a lazy person who looks to pass their work off on others. That being said I think Rowling connected bludgers to bludgeons or bludgeoning as in beating someone with a blunt object.
@ronweber1402 Thank you for pointing that out. I actually do know how to spell bludger but my autocorrect on my new phone doesn't like Harry Potter words and keeps changing them whenever I am not as attentive as I should be. I have been training my phone to accept Harry Potter terminology, but Grammerly really hates it and loves to put up a rebellious fight. LOL! I did corrected the mistake. Again, thank you for pointing it out.
@@LaurinGarcia I have spell check on my phone but not autocorrect which isn't as much a pain as it will underline what it thinks are misspelled words but not change them.
@ronweber1402 I have that too, but my new phone has Grammerly, and it will autocorrect my spelling half of the time even if I am writing my own name. LOL!😆
6:44 they don’t talk about it much in the movies, but in the books you find out that Hagrid is half giant. His mother was a giant and his father was a normal sized man.
As I recall, the floating candles you remarked on were real candles hanging by threads. The flames, unfortunately, caught the threads on fire, and the candles started falling as the threads burned away, so they decided that that was a tad too dangerous to repeat!!
The magic you see Harry doing at the zoo is Harry's magical ability being expressed spontaneously. This is how magical ability first shows up; if it doesn't appear by age 10, it never will. It's brought on by really strong emotions, like fear or anger. This can recur sporadically during puberty under the same conditions. The oversized clothing Harry is wearing at the Dursleys is his cousin Dudley's castoffs. Instead of donating or tossing out Dudley's old clothes, they give them to Harry instead of buying Harry any new clothes. They spend as little money on Harry as possibly. That's why his glasses have tape across the bridge; they broke and the Dursleys won't buy him new ones. Hagrid is a half-blood wizard; his mother was a giant and his father was a brilliant wizard of unusually short stature. Giants average about 20ft in height and half-giants run about 10ft. Hagrid is only 8ft tall; he gets shortened height from his father but is compensated by inheriting enough intelligence to be mostly literate (he can read, but he has trouble spelling words). (Giants have fairly limited intelligence.) And yes; giants are a separate race but can interbreed with a few other races: muggles, wizardkind, goblins, veelas, and possibly others. Ok, here goes (since you ask about wizard longevity)... Magic is a kind of revitalizing lifeforce. When you work with magic energy/power, you channel it, and the channeling of it provides certain benefits to the individual. -Physical Resilience Wizards/witches can withstand injuries arising from natural cause much better than muggles can. It takes more force to break a bone or cause harm to an organ. And healing is quicker and leaves no scar. -Resistance to Pathogens Wizards/witches are immune to most diseases and ailments that plague muggles, though there are a small group of pathogens that specifically target members of the Wizarding World, some of them fatal. --Longevity Wizards and witches have a longer lifespan. The average age of a muggle is 75 years, give or take; for wizards/witches the average is 150. There is one issue with working with magic power: injuries that result from magical causes are permanent, leave scars, and can be fatal. You see Harry's lightning bolt scar; it comes from a curse thrown at him. Anytime you see a character with a scar or disability, assume there was an accident involving magic. A wand will more accurately focus magic power than by will alone. The wizard's or witch's willpower controls the expression and the potency of the magic being worked. Wizards/witches develop this ability over time and practice, with verbalization allowing the will to focus. The strongest wizards/witches can cast without having to speak the words, but that takes years of practice. Wands focus aim; they are like pipes directing water flow or wires running electricity. As such, damage to a wand severely impacts the functionality of a wand, just as a broken pipe can leak, a crushed pipe can raise or lower pressure, or an uninsulated wire can cross and short-circuit. And once damaged, it is difficult or impossible to repair. Wand construction also influences the power it channels. Just as pipes can introduce impurities into the fluids that flow through them, the materials used can 'color' the energy channeled. Core material and wood species bear magical qualities that influences the power a witch or wizard sends through. It's the affinity between the wand and its user that can add to or detract from the success of its use. Ollivander is fond of saying "The wand chooses the wizard"; here's why. The fact that wand construction has magical attributes begins to give the artifact a 'vibe' or energy. And the power that passes through it expands that to a consciousness. Wands sense affinity, so they 'know' if they are a good match with a particular wizard/witch. Some wands are made of powerful enough stuff that they can actually influence and change the wizard's or witch's character. But mostly the power that runs through wands makes them respecters of power, and that means wands have a sense of pride and loyalty. They recognize their true master and will refuse to be used to harm their master even if they have to crack or break to weaken the magic sent through them. On the other hand, wands are only loyal to 'winners'; if their master is disarmed in fair conflict, they will abandon the loser and transfer loyalty to the winner. The advice concerning wands is -Acquire your own wand; don't use someone else's unless won in fair contest. Better the wand choose you than you choose the wand. -Treat your wand with respect; understand it has pride. -Don't enter a conflict unless you're pretty sure you can win or if you have no other choice. Wands are expensive and unique, and you want a lifelong working relationship with it. Muggles miss seeing magic around them due to a perception issue. Not only are they easily distracted by other things, but they are easily-influenced by glamours, charms, and spells that cloud their perception. Even without such magical applications, the average muggle can go about things with speed and supreme confidence and no one will notice what they're doing. Hogwarts was situated in an isolated area of Scotland. I never considered before how they determine the order of sorting, but I suspect it has to do with when they first exhibited magic ability. And, by the way, the criteria the Sorting Hat uses is core values. It 'reads' the core values of the student and matches them to the core values of the House. The Wizarding World is a small community containing a small population. Hogwarts is one of 11 regional schools, serving the UK. There is one in France, one in Bulgaria, one in Africa, one in the US, and others. The children that acted in the Potter films were taught on set; they didn't attend regular schools. Most spells are in Latin; some are a mix of Latin and English. The writing on the Mirror of Erised is in English, but it's written backwards. It would be easily legible if you saw it in a mirror. ERISED backwards is DESIRE.
Hi! Quidditch may be brutal, but at least there were penalties in the books. 🤕 Ps. I love the fact that Neville gets to decide the outcome of the House Cup. ♥️💛
Bro.. I had all these movies on VHS back in the day. I started the Sam Ramey trilogy of Spiderman and I want to move one to Harry Potter next. It is like you said at the start, opening up a time capsule.. Just it seems so weird, I understand and notice everything now, as I going through Spiderman, back when I was a kid, I never realized any of these little points. Either way, it's still special to go back and watch. Also, off topic, your accent sounds like a London accent if you don't mind me asking 😆 (I take back my question, since you practically answered it during the video when you mentioned the central line in London hahah)
The writing on the mirror is backwards. It reads "Erised straeh ruoy tub ecaf ruoy ton wohs I", which turned around is "I show not your face, but your heart's desire".
Once you finish the series you'll have to watch the 20th anniversary reunion special. The 'love' is the protection spell put on Harry by his mother's sacrifice.
He let the troll out of the dungeon and the kids killed it. He got through the other defences easily. He put the self playing harp for the dog, grabbed the winged key. There's clues in the book.
32:28 Here you are, watching a movie that probably came out when you were 8 and here I am, showing my 8 year old FMA for the first time. 😂😂 We just started last week.
The Love comment from Dumbledore has a deeper meaning that aren‘t that well explained in the movies. Basically it was a spell in that sense, because Harry‘s mother‘s sacrifice out of Love for her son provided him with the Protection against Voldy.
I highly recommend you read the books! They are surprisingly well written (and that is coming from a college English instructor). My colleagues all read them when they came out; they were very popular among highly educated adults!
No one ever brings it up but in his first year he was set up so he would have to murder professor Quirell and, even creepier than that is that he never checks in with his morality as well as never even had a bad dream after killing him. Yes, I know it was self defense, but even then you'd expect some nightmares and experience some PTSD even with it being done in self defense.
So I don't live in the UK I live in Maryland and what we know is that the train leaves from Kings Cross station at 11:00 a.m. and it arrives at Hogwarts in time for dinner so basically from what I've always heard it's somewhere in Scotland
I'm at least a month late to this I'm only a minute in so far, I also had the series ruined for me as a kid so I stopped reading the books and only ever saw the first 3 movies until about a year ago. Since then I have enjoyed watching other people react to the movies, and when they know nothing about the story it's usually the best. But I will give this a shot, and if I enjoy the reaction I will be tuning into the rest of them.
They all eat too much. And not much exercise by way of sports. Only Quidditch, with just seven kids, sitting on the brooms all the time. Even the staircases move to take them places.
And actually his protection truly is love. Since I know you've already seen the later movies I can point out that his mothers love for him and her sacrifice for him is what protects him. So literally mothers love protected him.
He's not, the into said philosophers stone as do the subtitles, besides the two behind are exactly the same except for the title and subtitles, they didn't film the movie twice.
I fully understand the JKR hate, but surely this reaction to the films, which she will not profit from, is fine to enjoy and to appreciate the actors work? Or has all of HP been ruined for you (also understandable) ? Genuine question I hope you don't mind.
As a woman of the uterus-having and thus old-fashioned kind I find this hysterical anti-JKR campaign idiotic. She has never been ‘trans-phobic’ in any meaningful sense - she merely insists on biological reality and on preserving women’s rights.
@@Bbeckk I, on the other hand, do actually NOT understand the JKR hate. I've seen a lot of that around the web. And I've seen a lot of claims of how she was super hateful against trans people (which were themselves often written in pretty hateful language). But I've not yet seen any actual statement of hers that would fit those claims. I HAVE seen her original statement/blog post, but in this she explicitly states that she also cares for trans people and wishes them no harm, just was concerned about potential sideeffects of a proposed law that was being discussed at the time. Whether those concerns were justified or not would be a different discussion, but just accusing her of hatred and worse and then "cancelling" her, instead of actually having this discussion and finding a solution, doesn't do anything to alleviate those concerns. So if either of you can reference actual statements of hers that would justify the hatred, that would be great and might convince me of your position. Otherwise I'm going to have to stay on my current position of thinking this whole matter to be overhyped hate and blind followers jumping on the "cool" train without ever looking at the origin.
@@ADDISON396 ah I see! That's not unreasonable. I personally think it's a good thing if the actors and HP franchise can be enjoyed and live on without any mention of JKR, that way the other people involved do not have their hard work taken from them by her, and in a way we can erase her from the narrative. But that is just my feeling on the matter, thank you for explaining yours :)
37:52 if you do i recommend getting it from a library (or if you're an audiobook person get it from a library affiliated service like Libby) just so that you're not directly supporting the auther
If you’re watching these on HBO Max, they’re the extended editions! Also, they switched Dumbledore actors after the second movie. So you’ll soon see the Dumbledore you remember!
Oh god here i go about to watch another person watch 8 harry potter movies again…
After all these years? Always.
@@StefanJohannesbergstop twin. Get out of my head 😆
Hahah you are not alone.

It is one of my favorite comfort things to do... ahaha! Glad I'm not the only one...

This has me in tears right now as she passed in 2017. Harry Potter has always been a sweet reminder of happy times. ❤
What a sweet memory I am very sorry for your loss dear. 🫶🏻
I'm so sorry for you loss, but am glad you have such a beautiful memory with your daughter,
Harry's clothes weren't a choice. They were big and baggy on him because they're Dudley's old clothes.
Ron actually has 5 older brothers abd a younger sister. His 2 oldest brothers Bill & Charlie already graduated from Hogwarts.
Hogwarts is in Scotland. Some wizards teach their kids at home or send them to other wizarding schools around Europe.
A lot of Slytherin's nasty moves in the Quidditch in the movies got them penalties in the books.
Read backwards the inscription on the mirror says: I show not your face but your heart's desire. Erised is desire spelled backwards.
Yes Firenze is a centaur.
Definitely recommend reading the books or listening to the audiobooks. They're all excellent with a lot more details that explain some things the movies left out. For instance, in the book Ron was walking around the chessboard like the other 2 and the queen smashed him over the head with her stone arm knocking him out.
The love of Harry's mother providing him protection from Voldemort is ancient magic. Her sacrifice created a sort of natural spell that Harry now carries in his blood. There are a lot of different types and aspects of magic that are only explained in the books.
I came looking for a comment about Harry’s clothes… they were meant to be cool at all, quite the opposite.
"There's no one named PETUNIA that has a kind heart" I am screaming 😂😂😂
I never met anyone by that name I thought that name only exists in Harry Potter as the rarest name ever.
There's a cultural convention known as Victorian Flower Language that folks in the late 1800s used to follow. Flowers were assigned certain meanings that determined what flower was appropriate to give or display in any situation.
'Petunia' had the meaning of 'anger/resentment'. ('Lily' meant 'purity/loving'.)
Richard Harris, who played Dumbledore originally, passed away after being in the first two movies, and another actor took over the part; that's why he didn't look familiar to you.
"Another actor" acting like it wasn't the actor who plays Gandalf.... Ian McKellen isn't just some actor... ahahaha! Just saying.... He's not my favorite version of Dumbledore honestly... But that's ok. He did give us the best after Richard Harris. RIP Richard! You were an amazing Dumbledore for us!
@@amberhoward7807but it wasn’t Ian McKellen, iirc he turned down the role of Dumbledore because he didn’t want to be known as 2 infamous literary wizards. Michael Gambon took over the role after Harris died of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
The director was Chris Columbus for the 1st 2 films. His daughter plays Susan Bones (ginger Hufflepuff) who is next to Hermione a lot in the next film.
The love is a magic. The books go into it far deeper than the films. Lily sacrificed herself to try to protect Harry meaning Voldemort can’t ever touch him because her love lives within Harry’s blood.
At least until the games, anyway. Where he taps his forehead like a weirdo.
Ahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!! "I can't hear without my subtitles..."
Same.... same....
True Love, Pure Love is the strongest Magic of all
Welcome to The Wizarding World rabbit hole that is Harry Potter.
The best thing about the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone, to me is that the chambers following the third-floor corridor containing Fluffy each play to the strengths of Harry, Ron and Hermione.
The Devil's Snare chamber caters to Hermione's knowledge of spells.
The room with the winged keys caters to Harry's skill with quidditch.
And the chess room caters to Ron's knowledge of how to play chess.
Side notes:
The Sorting Hat chooses new students' houses based on their corresponding personality traits:
Gryffindor-Bravery, helping others, and chivalry.
Hufflepuff-Hard work, patience, loyalty, and fair play.
Ravenclaw-Intelligence, knowledge, and wit.
Slytherin-Ambition, cunning and resourcefulness.
Erised (The Mirror of Erised) is the word desire spelled backward.
Hedwig is a snowy owl. They have ruffled wing feathers to silence their flight so prey animals don't hear them coming. They also have natural camouflage due to their coloration, and they're the only birds who don't have bare feet due to their habitats, like the Arctic Tundra.
At the time of the deaths of Lily and James Potter at the hands of Voldemort, Harry was only 15 months old.
Still sad they cut out the challenge that was actually written for Hermione. Now we have to make up that the Devil's Snare was Hermione's moment instead of the potion riddle, which was the real test for intelligence. It also gave her a real reason for staying behind and not just to lamely nurse Ron like in the movie. I get it would've been too convoluted for film, but still disappointed as it's just the beginning of the movies cutting away at Hermione's brilliance.
@@_mys that's one of my pet peeves with the producers of the films. They cut out way too much and transferred some of Ron's intelligent moments over to Hermione. The films portrayed Ron as a major moron.
"Not me, not Hermione... YOUU!"

The sorting hat voice is Leslie Phillips, a long list of credits to that name. He passed away in 2022, at the young age of 98.

Oh my god you’re in for a ride, I’m sure you’re going to love these!! Just to make sure some of your questions get answered (from the books, spoiler free) :
- About the chess scene, in the book the chess pieces decapitate/stab each other when they knock each other out, which is why Hermione and Harry are so scared for Ron. He is actually hit on the head by the opposing chess piece, and goes out cold.
- About the whole ‘his mother’s love protected Harry from Voldemort’, this is a plot point that will come back, and it is clearer in the book, so I’ll quote Dumbledore’s answer directly:
‘Your mother died to save you. If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love. He didn’t realise that love as powerful as your mother’s for you leaves its own mark. Not a scar, no visible sign… to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection for ever. It is in your very skin. Quirrell, full of hatred, greed and ambition, sharing his soul with Voldemort, could not touch you for this reason. It was agony to touch a person marked by something so good.’
- Finally, I don’t think it was made clear in the movie, but it was revealed that Dumbledore is the one who sent him the Invisibility Cloak (which had belonged to his father, but had been in Dumbledore’s possession at the time of his death).
Anyway, loved your channel, and I highly recommend reading the books to go even deeper into the lore!!
The reason most muggles don't see magic happening around them is sometimes attributed to protective spells having been placed on objects or places so that regular none magical folks can't see or notice them. For example, Hogwarts is a massive castle located in the highlands of Scotland. But when muggles come across it, they only see old ancient empty castle ruins. If muggles find themselves getting too close to it, then suddenly the muggles will start to think they have someplace important they have to go to that they previously forgotten about.
In rare other cases when a muggle happens to witness magic by mistake, the local wizarding government called The Ministry of Magic will come and magically erase that particular memory from the muggle's mind.
Certain cases are allowed only to a certain extent, like in the case of a wizard or witch having been born from a muggle family or is being raised by a muggle family like Harry and the Dursleys for example. But even then the wizarding child is not allowed to perform magic even in front of their muggle family even though their muggle family members know about their relative being born a witch or wizard and that they attend Hogwarts.
The Wizarding communities consider it vital that their existence remain a secret for their protection incase for example muggles decide to bring back the witch trials and start burning wizards at the stake again among many other reasons as well.

Which to me never made sense. Like the wizards couldn't join together and fight back and basically annihilate any muggles that tried. I find it a bit ridiculous that they are so worried about it. Like they could have sectioned off a whole piece of the UK as a homeland and put magical protections around it to keep muggles out.
Yup Harry defeated Quirrl with love! It sounds wierd an cliche but later on in the movies it becomes very importend!!
Fairly new subscriber here. Not your usual I'm sure. I was raised in Norwich but I live in the USA. All my 6 boys were read the books as bedtime stories. Then the films came out! Do you understand how difficult it was to leash 6 boys as they wait about a year for the next film? I loved every minute of it! I also am excited about your reference to Full Metal Alchemist! I'm 70 and still watching anime and play video games. Like I said, not your usual! I'll be watching....
The original UK published book is called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. A philosopher is what people in medieval times called an alchemist or sorcerer. But when the book was about to be published in America, the publishers didn't think that American children would understand what a philosopher is according to medieval terms.
The Philosopher's Stone is an actual medieval legend like King Arthur and Merlin is.
When the first Harry Potter movie was being filmed, they made all the actors who had to speak the name of the stone film the scenes twice, saying both the American and UK version of the name. In the American version of the movie, the actors call it the Sorcerer's Stone, but in the United Kingdom version, the actors call it the Philosopher's Stone.
This movie series is right now in the process of being rebooted for TV and is presently in preproduction. Each season of the TV show will be a Harry Potter book. It was decided that the first season will be called the Philosopher's Stone.

I enjoyed this reaction, but do have to disagree that the idea that his mother's love lives in his skin is "bullshit." The idea of sacrifice born of love (and love in general) being a form of powerful magic is an important element in this story. They didn't just wedge it in to force a heartwarming moment or something. Also, this actor is the original Dumbledore, and you're likely remembering the actor who replaced him when he unfortunately passed away after filming the next movie. They give very different interpretations of Dumbledore, but I enjoy both. I think each iteration of Dumbledore fits well into the individual films, even if the change may make the character less cohesive in the series overall (which is a criticism I've often heard about the performance of the second actor).
Hope you react to the rest of the films, because I'm down for the Harry Potter journey if you are. Cheers!
The witches here can do magic without wands, but it is better to use a wand so that the power is more maximal. For example, African witches no longer use their wands,They use magic using their bare hands
RIP to Hagrid, and both Dumbledores😔
and Prof. McGonagall too... 😢🫂😇
Let's not forget Professor Snape.
@@ammaleslie509 😭😭😭😭😭😭
The reason Voldemort can’t touch him isn’t because of just love, but the sacrifice his mother made with her own life for her son. That’s a different magic and a different love that voldemort can’t comprehend
You did watch the extended version, but pretty much all the events of the film are the same between versions. It's mostly just a couple of extra lines added here or there. No major scenes were added or altered. Like, the mirror was in the original film, but they cut out Harry's nightly obsession, and went straight from showing it to Ron, to being caught by Dumbledore. Otherwise, whatever you thought "wasn't in the original" at the end, you probably just forgot about it. It seems like you remembered more about the first part of the film than the end. Maybe you started watching it more than you finished it as a kid. 😛
they’re aged up in the movies but in the books harry’s parents had him at 20 and died the following year aged 21. but yes wizards age much slower than non-magical people
Quidditch has 7 players in each team.
3 Chasers
2 Beaters
1 Keeper
1 Seeker
The Chasers are in charge of scoring goals by catching the Quaffle balls and throwing them into one of 3 hoops at the other team's side of the field.
Beaters are in charge of protecting their players from getting hit by the bludger balls with wooden bat's. They are also in charge of hitting the opposing team with the bludgers by using their bats.
The Keeper's job is to protect their team's hoops by not allowing the opposing team to score any goals by blocking the Quaffle and preventing it from getting through their hoops.
The Seeker's job is to find the Snitch and catch it before the other team does. Once the Snitch is caught, then the game ends.
You Don't necessarily win when you catch the snitch. Yes, the snitch is 150 points, and the game does end when the snitch is caught. But the team that catches the snitch can lose the game if the opposing team had already gained far more points prior to the snitch being caught. So it's important to score as many points as possible with the Quaffle and hoops before any seeker of any team catches the snitch, causing the game to end. Unfortunately, they never show it in any of the Harry Potter movies (so this is not a spoiler to any future Potter movies) but in one of the books Harry witnesses a certain team loose a certain Quidditch match dispite that team's Seeker having caught the snitch.
BTW, did you know that people became such a massive fan of the fictional sport of Quidditch that college students made it into a real-world international sport that is played in real colleges all over the world. Players compete with broomstick between their legs, and the snitch is a person (dressed in gold with a handkerchief tucked into his or her's belt) running around all over the place. The seeker has to catch the person playing as the snitch by grabbing onto the handkerchief and pulling it off the snitch's body. You can do a TH-cam search and view a few matches played in different countries. I have seen 2 or 3 Quidditch matches in person back in the day. Tons of fun.
If you ever want to know how Quidditch is played and its fictional history, the author of Harry Potter, JK Rowling, also wrote other books for charities. One of them is called Quidditch Through the Ages, and it is written as if it were one of Harry Potter's text books.

I don't know if it was a simple spelling mistake, probably was but it's bludgers, not bluggers. I just found out that bludger is a real word meaning a lazy person who looks to pass their work off on others. That being said I think Rowling connected bludgers to bludgeons or bludgeoning as in beating someone with a blunt object.
@ronweber1402 Thank you for pointing that out. I actually do know how to spell bludger but my autocorrect on my new phone doesn't like Harry Potter words and keeps changing them whenever I am not as attentive as I should be.
I have been training my phone to accept Harry Potter terminology, but Grammerly really hates it and loves to put up a rebellious fight. LOL!
I did corrected the mistake. Again, thank you for pointing it out.
@@LaurinGarcia I have spell check on my phone but not autocorrect which isn't as much a pain as it will underline what it thinks are misspelled words but not change them.
@ronweber1402 I have that too, but my new phone has Grammerly, and it will autocorrect my spelling half of the time even if I am writing my own name. LOL!😆
That Fullmetal reference had me cracking up.
6:44 they don’t talk about it much in the movies, but in the books you find out that Hagrid is half giant. His mother was a giant and his father was a normal sized man.
Harry's mother put a protective shield on him, by sacrificing herself for Harry. That's why Voldemort was never able to kill or injure Harry.
I have been waiting for you to react to this!! I am so excited for you.
Hermonie: "you don't even know how to fly"!
me to my tv: "Yeah but James does (did)"
Can’t wait for you to continue this! Such a great cozy fall watch ❤
As I recall, the floating candles you remarked on were real candles hanging by threads. The flames, unfortunately, caught the threads on fire, and the candles started falling as the threads burned away, so they decided that that was a tad too dangerous to repeat!!
Currently obsessed with HP, currently obsessed with KP, DID YOU READ MY MIND???
How have you not seen so many modern classics?!
Ohhhhhh yess here we go! 🤓
The magic you see Harry doing at the zoo is Harry's magical ability being expressed spontaneously. This is how magical ability first shows up; if it doesn't appear by age 10, it never will.
It's brought on by really strong emotions, like fear or anger. This can recur sporadically during puberty under the same conditions.
The oversized clothing Harry is wearing at the Dursleys is his cousin Dudley's castoffs. Instead of donating or tossing out Dudley's old clothes, they give them to Harry instead of buying Harry any new clothes. They spend as little money on Harry as possibly. That's why his glasses have tape across the bridge; they broke and the Dursleys won't buy him new ones.
Hagrid is a half-blood wizard; his mother was a giant and his father was a brilliant wizard of unusually short stature. Giants average about 20ft in height and half-giants run about 10ft. Hagrid is only 8ft tall; he gets shortened height from his father but is compensated by inheriting enough intelligence to be mostly literate (he can read, but he has trouble spelling words). (Giants have fairly limited intelligence.) And yes; giants are a separate race but can interbreed with a few other races: muggles, wizardkind, goblins, veelas, and possibly others.
Ok, here goes (since you ask about wizard longevity)...
Magic is a kind of revitalizing lifeforce. When you work with magic energy/power, you channel it, and the channeling of it provides certain benefits to the individual.
-Physical Resilience
Wizards/witches can withstand injuries arising from natural cause much better than muggles can. It takes more force to break a bone or cause harm to an organ. And healing is quicker and leaves no scar.
-Resistance to Pathogens
Wizards/witches are immune to most diseases and ailments that plague muggles, though there are a small group of pathogens that specifically target members of the Wizarding World, some of them fatal.
--Longevity
Wizards and witches have a longer lifespan. The average age of a muggle is 75 years, give or take; for wizards/witches the average is 150.
There is one issue with working with magic power: injuries that result from magical causes are permanent, leave scars, and can be fatal. You see Harry's lightning bolt scar; it comes from a curse thrown at him. Anytime you see a character with a scar or disability, assume there was an accident involving magic.
A wand will more accurately focus magic power than by will alone.
The wizard's or witch's willpower controls the expression and the potency of the magic being worked. Wizards/witches develop this ability over time and practice, with verbalization allowing the will to focus. The strongest wizards/witches can cast without having to speak the words, but that takes years of practice.
Wands focus aim; they are like pipes directing water flow or wires running electricity. As such, damage to a wand severely impacts the functionality of a wand, just as a broken pipe can leak, a crushed pipe can raise or lower pressure, or an uninsulated wire can cross and short-circuit. And once damaged, it is difficult or impossible to repair.
Wand construction also influences the power it channels. Just as pipes can introduce impurities into the fluids that flow through them, the materials used can 'color' the energy channeled. Core material and wood species bear magical qualities that influences the power a witch or wizard sends through. It's the affinity between the wand and its user that can add to or detract from the success of its use.
Ollivander is fond of saying "The wand chooses the wizard"; here's why.
The fact that wand construction has magical attributes begins to give the artifact a 'vibe' or energy. And the power that passes through it expands that to a consciousness. Wands sense affinity, so they 'know' if they are a good match with a particular wizard/witch. Some wands are made of powerful enough stuff that they can actually influence and change the wizard's or witch's character.
But mostly the power that runs through wands makes them respecters of power, and that means wands have a sense of pride and loyalty. They recognize their true master and will refuse to be used to harm their master even if they have to crack or break to weaken the magic sent through them. On the other hand, wands are only loyal to 'winners'; if their master is disarmed in fair conflict, they will abandon the loser and transfer loyalty to the winner.
The advice concerning wands is
-Acquire your own wand; don't use someone else's unless won in fair contest. Better the wand choose you than you choose the wand.
-Treat your wand with respect; understand it has pride.
-Don't enter a conflict unless you're pretty sure you can win or if you have no other choice. Wands are expensive and unique, and you want a lifelong working relationship with it.
Muggles miss seeing magic around them due to a perception issue. Not only are they easily distracted by other things, but they are easily-influenced by glamours, charms, and spells that cloud their perception. Even without such magical applications, the average muggle can go about things with speed and supreme confidence and no one will notice what they're doing.
Hogwarts was situated in an isolated area of Scotland.
I never considered before how they determine the order of sorting, but I suspect it has to do with when they first exhibited magic ability.
And, by the way, the criteria the Sorting Hat uses is core values. It 'reads' the core values of the student and matches them to the core values of the House.
The Wizarding World is a small community containing a small population.
Hogwarts is one of 11 regional schools, serving the UK.
There is one in France, one in Bulgaria, one in Africa, one in the US, and others.
The children that acted in the Potter films were taught on set; they didn't attend regular schools.
Most spells are in Latin; some are a mix of Latin and English.
The writing on the Mirror of Erised is in English, but it's written backwards. It would be easily legible if you saw it in a mirror.
ERISED backwards is DESIRE.
Those houses are in a little cul de sac in Hatfield, just down from the university campus.
'i was hoping it would be some ultimate cloaking defence mechanism that she left him' lol it was exactly that 😂
Hi! Quidditch may be brutal, but at least there were penalties in the books. 🤕
Ps.
I love the fact that Neville gets to decide the outcome of the House Cup. ♥️💛
Hogwarts - the scenery shown is the Highlands of Scotland. Beautiful.
your voice is so soothing
05:29 "okay, so he's just an idiot" - I laughed:)))
cant wait for your reaction to the other hp movies, i am guessing you will be in tears a couple of times later in the series ;P :D
😂😂 I can't wait to see u watch the rest bruv u had me laughing at ur reactions to certain parts keep it coming ❤
Bro.. I had all these movies on VHS back in the day. I started the Sam Ramey trilogy of Spiderman and I want to move one to Harry Potter next. It is like you said at the start, opening up a time capsule.. Just it seems so weird, I understand and notice everything now, as I going through Spiderman, back when I was a kid, I never realized any of these little points. Either way, it's still special to go back and watch. Also, off topic, your accent sounds like a London accent if you don't mind me asking 😆
(I take back my question, since you practically answered it during the video when you mentioned the central line in London hahah)
The writing on the mirror is backwards. It reads "Erised straeh ruoy tub ecaf ruoy ton wohs I", which turned around is "I show not your face, but your heart's desire".
Once you finish the series you'll have to watch the 20th anniversary reunion special.
The 'love' is the protection spell put on Harry by his mother's sacrifice.
He let the troll out of the dungeon and the kids killed it. He got through the other defences easily. He put the self playing harp for the dog, grabbed the winged key. There's clues in the book.
32:28 Here you are, watching a movie that probably came out when you were 8 and here I am, showing my 8 year old FMA for the first time. 😂😂 We just started last week.
The Love comment from Dumbledore has a deeper meaning that aren‘t that well explained in the movies. Basically it was a spell in that sense, because Harry‘s mother‘s sacrifice out of Love for her son provided him with the Protection against Voldy.
I highly recommend you read the books! They are surprisingly well written (and that is coming from a college English instructor). My colleagues all read them when they came out; they were very popular among highly educated adults!
7:48 i always thought it really sounded like that
Hogwarts is in Scotland
I just realised you’re watching the USA version
"What's your deal? Where do you know me from?"
Me: 😬
hogwarts is in scotland
No one ever brings it up but in his first year he was set up so he would have to murder professor Quirell and, even creepier than that is that he never checks in with his morality as well as never even had a bad dream after killing him. Yes, I know it was self defense, but even then you'd expect some nightmares and experience some PTSD even with it being done in self defense.
I beg you a pardon 😂😂😂😂😂💀
Lol dismissing Harry's mom's love magic.... not knowing how much it plays into everything
hagrid is a halfgiant
nice man!
So I don't live in the UK I live in Maryland and what we know is that the train leaves from Kings Cross station at 11:00 a.m. and it arrives at Hogwarts in time for dinner so basically from what I've always heard it's somewhere in Scotland
you feel like HP is a christmas movie? the dude who made the music for it is the same as in Home Alone, and that in fact is a christmas movie :D
Also the director of both, this movie and Home alone, is the same Christopher Columbus.
13:28 Hogwarts is in Scotland.👍🏻
Hogwarts is in Scotland, in the highlands!
wait you watched the extended version. I havent watch this version.
My dude I guess you are new to children's stories but they always make the children the heroes while the adults are mostly useless in the background.
I am reacting to Harry Potter Reactors but also in the spirits and showing respect to Meggie Smith who recently passed away. Professor Mcgonagall.
I think Hogwarts is located in Scotland
Sadly the actor for McGonagall has passed away recently....
Love 🔥💯💚
The only other Petunia I can think of is Porky Pig's girlfriend. 😂
I'm at least a month late to this
I'm only a minute in so far, I also had the series ruined for me as a kid so I stopped reading the books and only ever saw the first 3 movies until about a year ago. Since then I have enjoyed watching other people react to the movies, and when they know nothing about the story it's usually the best. But I will give this a shot, and if I enjoy the reaction I will be tuning into the rest of them.
Hogwarts is next to a loch in Scotland, can't remember the name tho
I wrote a Fanfic of me going to Hogwarts on Wattpad but I’m going to make a longer one because it’s only 4 Hours and 52 minutes long.
Harry Potter 🎉
Jim dale or Stephen fry?
They all eat too much. And not much exercise by way of sports. Only Quidditch, with just seven kids, sitting on the brooms all the time. Even the staircases move to take them places.
Wasn’t Hogwarts situated in Scotland. Swear I read it was
Did you really just say " a very light and easy watch"?? 😂 Just you wait, mate.
The books are 100% worth reading. Leagues better than the movies.
And actually his protection truly is love. Since I know you've already seen the later movies I can point out that his mothers love for him and her sacrifice for him is what protects him. So literally mothers love protected him.
YAYYYYYY🎉🎉
Troll has left the dungeon or Elvis has left the building?
Is it my birthday??? Bro YAS Thankyou
Hogwarts is meant to be in the Scottish highlands
Hogwarts is in Scotland
Mais c'est quoi cette version avec des scène en plus ??
Black kids do stranger danger more?
Are all the other videos like this constant stops to say something cause I can’t
Why you watching the American version
He's not, the into said philosophers stone as do the subtitles, besides the two behind are exactly the same except for the title and subtitles, they didn't film the movie twice.
@@shaunjohns5987 there are extra little bits of sass from Harry in the American version

As a trans fan of yours this is a big nope from me. Will come back and watch once this series is over.
I fully understand the JKR hate, but surely this reaction to the films, which she will not profit from, is fine to enjoy and to appreciate the actors work? Or has all of HP been ruined for you (also understandable) ? Genuine question I hope you don't mind.
As a woman of the uterus-having and thus old-fashioned kind I find this hysterical anti-JKR campaign idiotic. She has never been ‘trans-phobic’ in any meaningful sense - she merely insists on biological reality and on preserving women’s rights.
@@Bbeckk I'd prefer the franchise not 'platformed' 'promoted' 'endorsed' etc etc
Others that are lgbt+friendly promoted in it's place.
Etc etc
@@Bbeckk I, on the other hand, do actually NOT understand the JKR hate. I've seen a lot of that around the web. And I've seen a lot of claims of how she was super hateful against trans people (which were themselves often written in pretty hateful language). But I've not yet seen any actual statement of hers that would fit those claims. I HAVE seen her original statement/blog post, but in this she explicitly states that she also cares for trans people and wishes them no harm, just was concerned about potential sideeffects of a proposed law that was being discussed at the time. Whether those concerns were justified or not would be a different discussion, but just accusing her of hatred and worse and then "cancelling" her, instead of actually having this discussion and finding a solution, doesn't do anything to alleviate those concerns.
So if either of you can reference actual statements of hers that would justify the hatred, that would be great and might convince me of your position. Otherwise I'm going to have to stay on my current position of thinking this whole matter to be overhyped hate and blind followers jumping on the "cool" train without ever looking at the origin.
@@ADDISON396 ah I see! That's not unreasonable. I personally think it's a good thing if the actors and HP franchise can be enjoyed and live on without any mention of JKR, that way the other people involved do not have their hard work taken from them by her, and in a way we can erase her from the narrative. But that is just my feeling on the matter, thank you for explaining yours :)
37:52 if you do i recommend getting it from a library (or if you're an audiobook person get it from a library affiliated service like Libby) just so that you're not directly supporting the auther
If you’re watching these on HBO Max, they’re the extended editions!
Also, they switched Dumbledore actors after the second movie. So you’ll soon see the Dumbledore you remember!
