In case nobody noticed, Hermione struggled in Potions class this year because she followed the schoolbook's instructions, the first 5 years of Potions Hermione, along with everyone else, would follow the instructions written on the board by Professor Snape(The Half-blood Prince) 😊
I love this. The fact Snape never followed the schoolbooks because he knew better. He truly is the potion master!
@IdaidaKristensen and the fact that he only became a potions master to have something in common with Lily Potter when they were in school, because she was a natural at it 🥺💔
I never thought of this but it makes so much sense.
@@Money3O5this hurt me more than I thought it would🥺
This is true, but at the same time, she does study by the books, which means there was a lost chance at a set up earlier in the movies where she could point out that Snape's instructions don't follow the books....
"But I am the chosen one"😂 The most realest line Harry ever says confidently.
Which doesn’t make sense since in the book he hated anything to do with the prophecy. Plus the chosen one thing only applies when Voldemort is involved. What does the chosen one thing means? Nothing
I mean you’re right, except for once Voldemort is in on the prophecy, it means everything,
He is the chosen one because Voldemort made it so.
It means everything, sadly.
But Harry would never say that lol
@@tgiacin435 I think it's just for comedic relief given how dark this book was.
@xanderyodz9514 it's the cockiness of the delivery Danielle Radcliffe gives that makes it so good😂
47:12 Never fails to crack me up seeing Dumbledore, Snape, Slughorn and McGonagall just silently observing the teen drama unfolding before them. And the fact that Dumbledore looks so invested lol. "Oh to be young, and feel love's keen sting"
Yes they look so confused lmfao
Dumbledore was a messy queen just living for tea. 😂
The is one of my favorite scenes in the movie for this reason 😂
I love this scene. I laugh at their confused amusement every single time
none of them looked invested lol
It's probably been mentioned by fellow nerds but Severus' mom was a pure blood witch and his dad was a muggle. Her maiden name was "Prince". Hence the name "Half-Blood Prince".
@@BIBuildy Tobias Snape + Eileen Prince = Severus Snape/Half-Blood Prince.
Not only that, he was the only half blood Prince in their family tree
I will never understand why the movie didn't mention this. It would have taken 10 seconds.
@@totallyflippedout this adaptation made a lot of questionable choices. It's my least favourite (after Prisoner of Azkaban) because I disliked the choice to center the movie around the teen romance shenanigans instead of the Voldemort study and the Half Blood Prince mystery.
@@jawbone78meh, they gave it a fair amount of time, imo. The book itself is mainly filler for the deathly hollows. The Tom Riddle flashbacks are more than enough to get the gist of Voldemort’s school days scheming and the half blood prince’s twist reveal was a nice touch to end the movie on.
Maggie Smith was undergoing treatment for breast cancer during the filming of this movie. Daniel Radcliffe and Helena Bonham Carter watched over her on the set
& Rest in Peace Helen McCrory
Kristen be hitting left to right with Tears with Marvel films, Fast Franchise, and Harry Potter ahaa, hope our girl is able to recover 😅🫶🏼
They say you need a good cry once in a while to release pent-up emotions. By that metric, Kristen's the most emotionally healthy person in the world lol
You should’ve seen her reaction to the fellowship of the Ring.
She has been given some brain rot in between with the Rohit Shetty cop universe
And lord of the rings. It never ends 😂
@@cosmerejunkie7931ROUGHEST ONE lol
The reason, why Snape looks at Dumbledore when he talks about the Bezoar, is because it was one of the very first questions Snape asked of Harry to humiliate him before the class in first year ^^ Oh, the irony! :D
Something UK audiences wouldn't have known unless they seen deleted scenes or read the book
@@mickyjoe97 Wait - that was deleted for UK audiences? o0
I remember seeing the scene in the movie (I'm austrian) very well
@@mickyjoe97 it was in the original uk version but there was no reason to attach any significance to it.
@@mickyjoe97I’m pretty sure it’s not a deleted scene for the uk version
When this came out- I had it in my head Fawks was Dumbledore’s accidental horcrux and so I thought he had to die in order for him to come back in his prime.
The scene where Dumbledore conjures the firestorm to save Harry might be the single best example of the movies improving on a scene from the books. It does such a good job conveying Dumbledore's raw power, even in his weakened state, to the point that we can hardly imagine what he was capable of in his prime.
All action scenes in movies are richer than in the books. Even Harry and Ron escape from Aragog in rheumatoid second movie.
@@adrianprepelita8683 eh I take your meaning, but I don’t think that’s really the case. And even taking your premise as true I would still maintain this particular scene is exceptionally well done. It's pretty easy to screw up an adaption of an action scene, but they knocked it out of the park.
Fantastic beasts movies did not do well but they definitely did justice to dumbeldore’s powers. Bro is just unfuckin beatable
You know Ron definitely went in for that new book. He’s so tired of hand me downs, and ready used equipment robes clothes ones would be nice for him to get something that was in mint condition for once.
Great point! Never thought of that
Also him and Harry fighting over it is the most boy thing ever
the way she says “i killed sirius Black i killed sirius black”just lives rent free in my head
Fun fact: Harry always felt guilty about winning the triwizard cup and its winnings plus he was already rich he didn’t need it so he gave the money to George and Fred to open their store hence why he didn’t have to pay like ron
He did make them buy Ron a pair of proper dress robes !!
Yes, he wanted to give it to Cedric’s parents but they didn’t want it so he gave it to the twins 😢
I remember when Michael Gambon passed away last year there were countless pics and videos of people holding wands up for him. And to this day I can’t see that scene without crying my eyes out.
crazy to see that Maggie Smith died exactly a year after Gambon
The coolest thing is that in the book Harry feels very lost and abandoned and in these (last) years at Hogwarts he kind of finds a "friend" in the Haf-Blood Prince, who turns out to be Snape. Snape kind of uses the potions book as a diary and Harry identifies with all the suffering and bullying that Snape went through!
then when the plot twist happens, the shock of finding out who the Haf-Blood Prince is is even more shocking.
Harry was finally start to see Snape eye to eye, without even knowing it!
In one of my favourite bits of casting from the film series, the young actor who plays 11-year-old Tom Riddle is the nephew of Ralph Fiennes.
Yes! Then he grew up and did those crazy After movies on Netflix😅
He started as the dark lord and continued in sleazy smut 😂😂😂😂 *ehem* the whole 'After' franchise.... Lol what a handsome boy he grew up to be 😂😂
@ The face of Ferragamo, the *ahem* everything else of Netflix. Lol.
One of my favorite things visually about this franchise is that once the world learns that Voldemort is back almost all of the vibrant and bold colors of every scene are drained. As if the world is literally growing darker out of fear of Voldemort. It’s such a great creative touch.
Also I find it weird that at no point in the movie did they explain the fact that Snape called himself the Half Blood Prince because he is the son of a witch and a muggle.
I thought they did in a deleted scene.
and Snapes mother's madden name is Prince.
Considering just how many witches and wizards come from half blood families, it’s an honest mistake that people wouldn’t know Snape’s nickname, especially if he kept it to himself and didn’t wave it around so casually for years!!!
I thought since the 3rd one there's been a lack of color
The second Snape says, "You dare to use my own spells against me?" It is clear who the owner of the Book of Poitons is.
95% of reactors miss Snape`s sentence.
"Sectum Sempra" is the spell from the Half-Blood Prince`s book.
Yes it's the severing curse hence Severus!
Book of Poisins?
I got it the second he cured Draco.😁
@@NoudlePipW
Poitions.
They miss it because the film pushed the entire textbook mystery into the background. If you happen to look away from the screen for the brief moment that Sectum Sempra is revealed in the textbook, you wouldn't even get what just happened. If you didn't read the book first it's almost impossible to pick up all the stuff about the textbook on a first watch. That's not a viewer failing, it's a movie failing.
This movie is an outright awful adaptation, not because it made changes from the source, but because those changes (especially the change in focus from the textbook mystery and the Voldemort investigation to the teen relationship drama) caused the film to be hard to follow whenever it needs to actually reveal anything important.
“Ginny’s got a lot of experience with evil books” was SUCH a read OMG did anybody catch that 😂😂😂😂
I'm pretty sure this is pointed out in the book: She's concerned about Harry's use of this potion book because of her experience with the diary. 🙂
Other than our main trio, Luna is my favorite character, she is so freaking cute. During the breakfast scene you might have noticed that Luna is wearing a lion hat - Luna is not in Gryffindor, she is in Ravenclaw so her wearing the lion hat is just out of support for her friends which is just adorable
Alan Rickman killing someone by throwing them off a tall building is so ironic. Especially during this Xmas season.
Haaaaaaaa 😂
Yippy ki yay to you mf'r 🤣🤣🤣
Remember in Harry Potter #1 Snape asked Harry what do you do with a Bezor? And Dumbledor gave Horace the credit even though it was snape that taught him how to use a Bezor.
Im glad you pinned Fenrir Greyback as a werewolf. Some people get confused with Remus Lupins depiction as a werewolf and why they are different. Greyback intentionally killed and turned people to hone in his powers of lycanthropy so he can be part werewolf all the time and be in control. PS Greyback is also the werewolf who turned Lupin into one
As Greyback says, bite them young, and raise them away from the rest of the wizarding world
I did some research i haven't found any information on this claim. i have found nothing saying he did so to hone his powers so that he can control it, in fact on the contrary i found information saying that he would plan his attacks by being around lots of kids during a full moon so that he could bite or turn as many children as possible to create an army to take over the wizarding world. no where have i found info stating he did it to control his powers
with the bezoar and alan rickmans look i always thought his look of surprise and shock was more coming from him
being surprised that harry remembered one of the first things he ever said to him in his first potions class 💕👏🏽
Draco truly did not want to do it. In the books its revealed that voldy chose draco for this to punish his dad after he failed to bring the prophecy to him. So for draco it was a kill or be killed situation and he had no say in this.
Please make sure to watch the reunion after all the films!! It's beautiful.
This beginning sucks because Harry isn’t in that coffe shop in the books. Dumbledore actually goes to the Dursleys and rips them a new one for the way they treated him for 16 years. Then goes to find Slughorn.
The pert I hated the most was the attack on the burrow. Why did they make half of the choices they did in the movie. Like Dumbledore using the body bind to freeze Harry, which led him open to attack from Malfoy
I like the coffee shop. People go to coffee shops to clear their minds, and they prefaced it with the newspaper scene. I think it worked for what they went for.
Both this film and the book beginnings are good. Getting tired of ‘why isn't this like the book….’ yawn.
The beginning of Prisoner of Askaban sucked too, they left out the part where Harry, always under the Dursleys fist or at school, gets to freely explore and enjoy Diagon Alley for a week with no supervision, loved that part in the book.
Also the beginning of Goblet of Fire was messed up.
He was picked up from the Dursleys by the Weasleys and the twins tricked Dudley into eating a trick candy and that’s how we learn about their joke shop and how there is a cash price for the Triwizard Tournament and how Harry gifts the twins the money needed to open the store.
Snape killing Dumbledore always hurts my soul. In the book Dumbledore’s funeral is incredibly sad
Yeah, literally the entire wizarding world was showing up for the funeral. Even Umbridge was there as well as the centaurs. But I hate the whole set up for that scene in the movie
If you look at the Snape's Killing Curse aimed at Dumbledore, it's actually a mix of blue and green, not purely evil green like from Voldemort or Bellatrix. This is because Snape's heart was not fully decided into this murder plot.
@ that’s not how the killing curse works. It’s a jet of green light. If his heart wasn’t in it, the spell doesn’t work. You have to mean it first the unforgivable curses to work.
@@tgiacin435this is true, you do have to mean it. If your hearts not Into killing that person you cannot kill them with Avada Kedavra
I hate the scene where Snape had the perfect opportunity to take his book from Harry after Harry wounded Draco in the movie. In the book, Harry didn’t bring the Half-Blood Prince book with him when he fought Draco. After the fight and Snape healed Draco, he ordered Harry to stay in the bathroom until he gets back. When Snape returned, he asks Harry where he learned this curse and Harry lied saying he found it in the library book. Obviously, Snape was the one who invented it, being the Half-Blood Prince so he knows Harry’s lying. Snape then forces Harry to retrieve all of his school books and Harry did so but he also grabbed Ron’s potion book. Before he returned to Snape, he stopped by the Room of Requirement to get rid of Half-Blood Prince book. When Snape puts together that Ron’s potion book is not his and considered what he had done to another student, he gives Harry Saturday detention for the rest of the term, meaning Harry could not play at the Quidditch final.

Oh Wow looks like we're getting all the Harry Potter movies this holiday season. Thanks very much😊
Kristen, very insightful comment about the vanishing cabinet. In the book Jenny does not accompany Harry to the Room of Requirements to hide the book, Harry goes alone. He hides it, but in a way he can find it later. There is a large tall cabinet with a man's bust on it. Harry puts the book on top of the cabinet and moves the bust on top of the book, he then spots a Tiara and put the tiara on top of the man's bust to mark where the book is. This Tiara and bust will be important later. Also there is a great battle in the books after Dumbledore is killed. When Harry drank the liquid luck, he only took a sip, and gave the rest to Ron and Jinny to use. Ron, Jinny, and others from Dumbledore's Army takes a sip just before the big battle which happens, and none of the Dumbledore's Army is harmed, but they harm a lot of the Death Eaters.
The reason Harry remembers about the bazor is because of his first lesson in potions when Snape is trying to humiliate Harry, Snape drills into Harry what a Bazor is.
Apparently HBC has her own wand which she gets out when her son brings home friends she doesn't like and scares the hell out of them!
😂😂😂
Still sucks that they didn't give us more of Voldemort's flashback memories, such as his inbred mom, uncle and grandfather, or when he tried to get the job as Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and cursed the job when Dumbledore told him to clear off.
all voldemort flashbacks in the movie are "fast forward" scenes for me after the first viewing
These were the reasons this was my favorite book.
@@rifatali8507 I'm so split with the book, because I get a little irritated with Harry's story, but I LOVE the Voldemort back story.
@@robertgronewold3326 it’s my favorite because we get to see the communication with the Muggle prime minister and fudge. Dumbledore conversation with dursleys. Draco evil/ sad story, Voldemort backstory ( the HIGHLITE of the book). So much rich details. Snape being halfblood prince. Confirmation of hor crux since book 2. In book 6, you go back and reread the other books. You will see some nuggets she places. It was mind blowing.
One big disadvantage of movies is that they can't dwell much on the books as a series is capable of. Like... Dumbledore showed Harry a lot more memories that explored Voldemort's upbringing and past. Like... in the books, we got to know about his parents... how his mother used magic to force his father to fall in love with her and he abandoned her once she freed him. We learned about possible Horcruxes... which are 6 in total, as Voldemort wanted to have his soul divided in 7 pieces (including the piece in his body). You can see his obsession with the number 7 in that room of his in the orphanage... possibly because 7 is said to be the most powerful number.
“Get a little finger in there, too.” Bruhh 😅😅
The bodies in the water are some of Voldemorts victims brought back to life with magic to serve as guardians for the Horcrux.
The reason why McGonnagal sent Harry to Potions is because it is a pre-requisite subject to become an Auror. Harry could not enrol in Potions in his sixth year because Snape gave him an exceed expections instead of outstanding which is the grade that Harry needed. Snape only accepts students with outstanding but Slughorn is willing to take anyone who has exceed expectations. Even without the classes, Harry could have gotten closer to Slughorn via Slughorn Parties alone.
Michael has definitely reduced the spoilers which is great! I still think he could half the comments after every little thing 😆 I just feel like it's a running commentary ✌
Its a reaction channel lmao. Not a watch along with friends
@@iNSANE0621 Yea? Kristen does a great job at reacting.. in my opinion Michael just blurted out random things after every other part of the film.
Completely agree
It’s a reaction channel tho. I love his commentary when they aren’t quasi-spoilers.
@ after a character pops up he’s like hello so and so or before someone is about to reveal something he has to say it first. Like just shut the f up and watch the movie. I’m not saying don’t comment but let it play out first rather then hinting shit
"Why is it always you three?"
I wish one of them would of yelled "No! Not us three....JUST HIM! Mr freaking Boy Who Lived over here......I wish he was 'The Boy Who Let His Friends Have a Normal School Year For Once"
Lol tbf hes tried to do it without them many times but Hermonie wouldn't allow it and rightfully so he would've been dead without her
Six movies in, Kristen still thinks Ginny is called Jenny.
With how much Michael yaps surprised he hasn’t corrected her
The spellings come from different full names, but at least in the US the pronunciation is identical
@@lyds6382 no they aren't.... GIN versus JEN. very different
@@kirstenkook5634in American English, GIN and JEN are literally pronounced the same. 🤷🏻
@@MTStingray Then why don't any other Americans pronounce them the same way, including the guy in this video?
I've seen this film and read the book at least half a dozen times each, and something never occured to me until watching this reaction: one of the most disturbing things about this film (and the book) is the implications of the location of the Horcrux that Harry accompanies Dumbledore to retrieve; it's near where Tom Riddle used to go on vacations to the coast with his fellow orphanage residents when he was a boy. Given the presence of the infiri -- the zombies in the water -- it's highly likely that Voldemort plotted, or even carried out a murder in that location when he was a child. Or even more disturbingly: returned there years later as an adult to commit many more.
@38:40 “Hello. My name is Harry Potter. You killled my godfather. Prepare to die.”
Harry was Learning from Snape all year with that book but I also wanna bring attention to the fact that the Bezoar that Harry saved Ron with was one of the very first things Snape mentioned to Harry in his first year the very 1st time he took Snape's class. Between that,the book, Expelliarmus and Occlumency Snape is EASILY Harry's most important teacher no matter How much they don't get along😂
I love that this is every reactor’s view on Malfoy so far.
The first five and a half movies: ugh, I hate this kid.
Harry hits him with the spell: HARRY, WTF DID YOU DO?!?!
Like there’s so many movies and tv shows that kids get bullied by another character so much, that you don’t feel bad for them when they get hurt, but in this movie you realize Malfoy isn’t really a bad character. A bad person wouldn’t be wrecked over that girl getting hexed, and he would’ve carried out the deed himself.
In the books McGonegal sent him to Potions so he can become an auror. In the 5th book it goes into great detail about her helping Harry a grieve that goal 😊
I feel Jim Broadbent doesn't get quite enough credit as Slughorn...what a performance from a great actor.
You can tell that whoever edited this made the movie much brighter because it was so dark lol
I actually appreciate it cause I hate how dark the movie is. Like I want to actually see what’s happening ya know
A side-effect of the 3d conversion process that was inflicted on these films because that was the trend at the time.
1:11:25 the moment I read the chapter where Dumbledore died, I cried hysterically and didn't speak to anyone for over 3 days straight. It hits harder when reading in Novel, instead of the movie.
LOL For me that was where I finally learned that I was done with the books. Sirius‘ death in the previous book already was so frustrating since there was that massive buildup to his character over the third book but then he dies before he contributes anything meaningful to the story. And Dumbledore‘s death was the point where I just couldn‘t bare Rowling‘s lazy resolutions anymore.
But since the films tone down or outright cut the stupid stuff from the books, they are really good. I mean just look at the cinematography in this one. Or the scene with the „In noctem“ choir song when Malfoy prepares for Dumbledore‘s return. Goosebumps!
@@Sobsilus I think you're confusing "lazy writing" with a plot point you simply don't like on a personal level.
@ How is this your conclusion from this thread? Ialready said that the story is fine, but Rowling‘s execution sucks. 😅
The time travel plot in Prizoner of Azkaban is fine. But the setup is weak and the execution is bad. Lazy writing. The conflict „save Buckbeak and Sirius“ can also be resolved without time travel. Rowling desperately wanted to have time travel in there, but was too lazy to set it up properly. You can‘t have time travel when there are less intrusive methods. Also, time travel can‘t be as convenient as it is in Harry Potter. Otherwise it will always create the problem that a new conflict could be solved by time travel, but isn‘t. Once you have something in your story, you can‘t ignore it. But Rowling does. Lazy writing.
I don’t dislike the Chamber of Secrets plot, but if the only one in this universe who can figure it out is a 12-year-old that didn‘t even know about the wizarding world two years ago… I‘m sorry, but then you have a universe full of complete idiots. E. g. why didn‘t Dumbledore just take a time turner after the first attack, go back in time, and carefully observe the attack to investigate? I don‘t say that is how Rowling should have solved it, but simply having Hermione figuring it out off-screen is lazy. It‘s like the BBC Sherlock series where Sherlock constantly figures out stuff off-screen. Yeah, thanks for letting us in on the detective work.
I don‘t dislike Goblet of Fire as a story, but Barthy Crouch jr.‘s plan was absolutely ridiculous. He HAD to put Harry through the entire Triwizard tournament? Really? He couldn‘t just grab Harry and shove him into the flew network? Or hex Harry during a Hogsmeade visit and disapparate with him? Really? Their best option was to create this needlessly elaborate scheme that could go wrong at any turn?
Don’t get me wrong. Of course all stories have loose ends or inconsistencies to some point. But Rowling is just extremely lazy. She throws random new stuff in the story all the time, but never really integrates it. And that leads to all these problems down the road. Another symptom of her lazy writing is the lack of character development. A talented author might have executed all that a lot better. Unfortunately we had Rowling come up with that story first.
The films couldn‘t solve all of it, but at least they cut some of the most ludacrious stuff.
@@noblydevoted It hits just as hard in the film. I went to go see it when it came out. The theater was silent and everyone even left in silence.
I'm divorced now but I was married July 21st 2007. The same day Deathly Hollows released.
My ex-wife and I went to the book store immediately following the reception in our dress/tux.
The marriage was a shit show but at least I have that memory.
"He just wants to get in there! " 🤣🤣 GOLD
The Aluminum Bridge that gets destroyed (CGI Wise) i literally Cut every single piece of that Bridge... The Bridge was all prebuilt in Sections at Redd Team Keystone Heights FL then shipped to London to be put together at its current location on the River Thames... Redd Team was a Aluminum Docks, Walkways, Steps manufacture Company that was bought out by Alcoa in about 2004-2005...and when it was being put together 1 of our Redd Team crew members that had went over to London to help put it together his Lung Collapsed and he died in his London hotel Room....a week later the whole factory attended his Funeral.
Rupert Grint (Ron) falling off the back of the couch wasn't scripted he actually fell by accident. The director liked it so much that he kept it in the movie.
I hate how they didn't mentioned that Harry gave his prize money from winning the tri-wizard to the twins so they could start their business. Also the sole reason why Fred and George just gave him the powder is because Harry could take whatever he wants for free as thanks.
I actually never remembered Horace is not in his own home in the beginning so he carries all those photos around with him lol
To be fair, it’s easy for a wizard to have their whole house in their bags so they can pack up at a moment’s notice
@1:10:32 best reaction!
Michael must’ve gotten a note from Jabby on spoilers because he did a much better job this round clearly holding his tongue.
TBH, I felt Kindve bad for him and really thought everyone was a little bit too harsh on Him in previous vids but I also understand wanting Kristen to have an honest reaction. 🤷♂️
weII thats because Kristen toId him during Order of Pheonix
For real? I stop watching from goblet of fire because of that. For this I go directly to comment section to check first 😅
@@erwandarussalam2515 same. I checked the comments beforehand to see how bad it will be.
@@BaschBarrageyeah I thought that too. But even that, I wondered if the two of them had already had conversations with either Jabby or Achara leading to her saying that. But that’s just speculation on my part.
@@erwandarussalam2515 I do the same thing. You can tell he wants to spoil cuz he speaks after every line.
1:19:22 fun fact: Harry gave Fred & George the money to open the store
The reason Voldemort chose Malfoy to unalive dumbledore was to punish Lucious for failing to get the prophecy in order of the phoenix. Voldemort knew deep down that Malfoy would fail to unalive dumbledore and therefore that’s why he chose him for the task. Malfoys mom low key knew this and that’s why she made the unbreakable curse with snape
I can't get enough Kristen, I love all the reactions she's been doing lately ❤
Michael " I hate that there's hair down there! I hate that there's hair down there!"
Dude, you would have truly hated the '70s
22:29: "He just wants to get in there." Yeah right, in Ron's female friend. ;)
Kristen's reaction when the thing in the lake grabbed Harry's arm is too funny I watched it like 10 times and laughed harder and harder 🤣
Ron was just being a protective Brother. It's our job.
This makes me want to go back and reread the books again! I have read the books a kid all the way through twice....but it's been so long that the events and plotlines of books missing from the movies have practically faded from my memory.
It’s worth the read. The audiobooks are a great option if you don’t have a lot of time. Stephen Fry is especially great.
I just love how all the teachers in the scene are just watching this ron datinf drama 😂😂. Its the best funniest part
People love to critique Gambon for his performance compared to Harris, especially that Goblet of Fire line (which is really over played now) but his performance in the cave is one of my favorite acting performances in the series. There was no better person to take over the role after Richard Harris.
For me, this is the most charming and funniest film in the franchise!
Not to mention the incredible cinematography
Apparently, those born as a result of the use of a love potion lack empathy like a sociopath or a psychopath.
In an interview with Daniel Radcliffe, he stated he hated how he acted while under the effects of the Luck Potion. I believe most fans loved the way he acted.
Kristen's lengthy explanation at the end reminded me of (One Punch Man) Genos explaining to Saitama his backstory and Saitama was obviously (sounding like Snape) bored out of his mind.
To be fair, the main reason he hates it is because he was dealing with a substance abuse problem and was drunk in those scenes.
This and POA are personal favorites of mine😊
I always wondered what went through Snapes mind when Harry says it is Draco that gave Katie the cursed necklace. Knowing Harry was right.
"That's so sweet, that's so kind"
Well, it's the least they could do after breaking and entering and trespassing...
I hope Kristen reads or listens to the books. I think she'd love them.
Dumbledore was 115 when he died.
Bellatrix, Draco's mother Narcissa and Tonks' mother Andromeda are all sisters. Andromeda was banished from the family for marrying muggleborn Ted Tonks.
In the book Harry hid the potions book alone and he only took a sip of the luck potion.
I’m seeing Kristen more than Jaby, this is 100% her channel now LOL
The fact that Cormac's actor Freddie Stroma plays Vigilante in Peacemaker will never not be hilarious to me
You would think after all these years that Shames would have learned not to look into the cauldron while he is brewing something. The love potions get stronger and time goes by. Harry had the potion for a good while. Did you catch the spell the Drako was starting to say when Harry hit him with the spell from the book. There is no coming back from death.
Whenever you watch any scene with Dame Maggie Smith in it during the Half Blood Prince, always remember she was undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Her hair haf fallen out, so she wore a wig. She still had that wonderful energy about her, even with all the chemo treatment she was undergoing. What a woman, what a professional. She said there wasn't a day of filming when she wasn't in some kind of pain. Even at this scene at 16:26 she was in huge amounts of pain and filled with exhaustion, but you would have never known.
Once again, Helena, so good. This Harry Potter movie left me with a lot of what if's. They only added the class scenes that add to the story plot, it keeps the movie moving.
if everyone had someone like Kristen at school there would be no wars! shes a real one.
In actuality Daniel Radcliffe was drunk throughout the making of this film. You can tell especially when he drinks the Felix potion
Btw the boy playing tom riddle in the memory when he first met Dumbledore is the nephew of ralphe finnes (voldermort)
Before anyone asks why they don't use the luck potion
It was very difficult to make, disastrous if made wrong, and required six months to brew before it was ready to be consumed. It was meant to be used sparingly, as it caused the drinker to succumb to giddiness, recklessness, and dangerous overconfidence if taken in excess. It was also highly toxic in large quantities. Felix Felicis was a banned substance in all organised competitions, such as Quidditch, along with all other methods of cheating. the potion was not able to better the chances of the drinker against particularly powerful enchantments. There's also a modified version of the potion that makes you unlucky.
over-reliance on it may have led to dangerous overconfidence, giddiness, and recklessness in the users even when not using the potion
the subtleness of Ginny being powerful as heck in the movies starting with the Order of the Phoenix gets better but nowhere near the book version.
I forgot how much romance was in this movie. Seriously, the fate of the world is at stake and Harry and the rest of the wizards were way too focused on relationships. There was barely any focus on the mystery of the Half-Blood prince or any of the other important stuff.
Yeah, that was like barely a 4th of the story in the book. And that was time they could’ve used for more memories. And I’ll will still never understand why the attack on the burrow was a thing when there were no repercussions for it.
The mystery of the half blood prince is just as much of a distraction. figuring it out doesn't help in any way, there is no immediate danger from it or importance to it.
@ The movie is literally called “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”. That’s like complaining about a Ghostbusters movie capturing ghosts. That’s the whole point of the movie!
but literally all of the romance in the movie was in the books😭😭
@@officialyoungmari yeah plus they left almost all of the Cho...and Dean stuff out of the movies so...
It is even creepier in the book with the meeting between Dumbledore and young Tom. In the movie the line is "I can make bad things happen to people who are mean to me. I can make them hurt - if I want." But in the book, it is different: "I can make bad things happen to people who annoy me. I can make them hurt - if I want."
I wish they'd gone a bit more into the Tom Riddle memories. There were quite a few others that they delved into with the book. Tom was born of Meriope Gaunt. She charmed a handsome muggle man with a love potion, got pregnant by him and thought that he might love her for real now so stopped the use of the potion and when Tom regained his wits, he left his pregnant wife. She was heartbroken and birthed Tom in the orphanage before she herself died of a broken heart. Some believe that the product of love potion will be bereft of love. Kind of a wizard sociopath. They do not have the capacity for love and some other emotions.
The 'cure all' was a 'Bezoar', which is in the extended cut of Philosopher's Stone that Snape, in the first potions lesson asked Harry what a Bezoar was and he then follows up with the answers, ignoring Hermione's waving frantic hand and says, "is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat and will cure you of most poisons."
A bit late to these reactions, know you're already finished but just have a couple things that were removed from movies that were in books you might find interesting. Snape is called half-blood prince because he was half blood with muggle father and witch mother and his mother's last name was Prince. This is also the year Harry and everyone in his year started learning non-verbal magic in school (like levicorpus a spell invented by Snape).
How do I look?
Exceptionally ordinairy!
I love Luna!
I still remember crying for 2 days straight when the book was out & I read Dumbledore's death scene
Usually Ron is scarfing down his food except for today on his first quidditch match. He can’t eat at all
“They’re both in love with the weasley“ lol I never thought of it like that but she’s absolutely right
I've noticed Ginny seems more dominant toward Harry in the films (especially this one). I like how in-control she is in the kiss scene, she keeps gently telling him what to do almost like she's soothing a child, and he just obeys her without question.
Daniel Radcliffe gave us one of the funniest scenes in the entire HP series, followed by one of the most emotional ones.
Fun fact: apparation and disapparation are the same thing but used as apparation means to arrive and disappartion means to leave so when you disapparate from one place you then apparate to another
I watched a few reactions to this film and everytime when dumbledore asked harry if he knew witch teacher voldemort trustet everyone says snape wich is funny because sape is in his thirties while voldemort is 70 years old snape wasnt even planed yet 😂
Oh, Ron read the room alright. That's why he sat where he did. 🤣🤣
Towards the end of the reaction when Michael is giving Alan Rickman his flowers, I started to cry. He was so much of my childhood and my favorite character actor especially as Snape. RIP 😭😭😭
I was severely disappointed when I first saw this movie. This book is my favorite mainly because of Voldemort’s pasts which always fascinates me but the movie cut way too much out of it and kept too much of romance drama. Could at least cut the Burrow attack and some of Ron’s scenes with Lavender, make 2 or 3 more backstory chapters of Voldemort, as well as naturally develop the relationship between Harry and Ginny on top of her great personality. Draco’s mission could be explored a bit more too.
Kudos to Kristen on recognizing the normal, the real in their adolescent behavior. Harry turns 16 years old at the beginning of "Half-Blood Prince" don't forget. (That means his 17th birthday -- adulthood in the wizarding world, similar to our 21 here in the U.S. -- is very significant.) I know she's controversial but I give credit to Jo Rowling for her writing that gave realism to her fantasy series in not only this but other aspects of the series.
I agree and disagree with your opinion about leaving out the school stuff. I agree they couldn't have included everything but some of what was left out is significant. Learning how to disapparate and the complications from that, for example, plays into what happens in "Deathly Hallows." Taking a few minutes -- no more than that -- to include that would have helped. Lupin and Tonks' story in HBP and moving forward is very significant to one of the series' main themes -- what it means to be family, importance of parents, especially fathers, even when they're flawed (Tom Riddle's, Draco's, Harry's, Snape's) and plays an important part in DH, which they left out of the films. Leaving out Bill and Fleur's story in HBP -- including the Wealey's coming to battle at the end -- would make their story in DH more meaningful. And the family conflict with Percy (which started in Order of the Phoenix and was dropped altogether in the movies) would stop reactors saying, "Who's that?" when he shows up in DH. It would have also made the Weasley family less a fantasy and more real.
And they had no trouble splitting #7 into two parts. Why not split others? There was no reason to split #7 anyway. They filled in none of the plot holes and left others, so what was the point.
I still enjoy watching reactions and hope you two read the books (again in one case). And you MUST watch the 20th anniversary documentary when you're done. Kristen, especially, will enjoy that.
Fun fact: Ron falling off the back of the sofa wasn't in the script he ad-libbed sitting on the back of it and slipped.
Bellatrix is so awesome actor did a phenomenal job
Facts cause I hate her wit a passion
18:44 shoutout to Michael for the Flubber reference!! That was my movie when I was a kid 💚
Kristin: maybe theres a backup paln
Michael: *in his head* no spoilers, no spoilers, no spoilers, no spoilers
What annoys me when I watch this movie is that they kept in the love potion subplot, but completely left out the important reason love potions were introduced. Voldemort's mother was giving his father a love potion when Voldemort was conceived. It made him incapable of feeling love. Huge point in Voldemort's backstory that was just left out, but I guess a little dark for the target audience to have a kidnapping, drugging, sex-slave subplot.
He wants to spoil SO BAD that he speaks after every other line. Let the emotions stew, let the reactions happen.
He spoils everything
You're just looking for something to complain about because ain't no way
I'm actually with you. Reactors like him just love the sound of their own voice and want to get ahead of the curb
@@deonnelson9780 na you actually got it wrong. When we first watch something our emotions are activating. If something emotional is happening and you're not allowing me to sit in that emotion/moment by constantly saying little quirks and quips because you know what's coming next, you're not being a gracious guide into what you already know and experienced. He completely changed his approach to HP reactions because of the complaints, but you can obviously see the ticks he's having.
Saying every line right before it’s said by the characters. I fear for deathly hallows
