I think the simple reason for these two being the most faithful adaptation is simply because they’re the two smallest books so there’s less that needs to be left out.
But that's what's amazing - the simplicity of it all. There's no grand spell or secret magic that Lily did. It was her sacrifice of dying for her son despite being given that option to step aside, having her husband be killed moments before too. That's why THAT thwarted Voldemort. Because it was so SIMPLE, and he would never think something like that can defeat him. Remember in the book, Harry felt like oh so it was just that? Just love? That was what banished Voldemort?... because in essence, it's really so simple and yet so REAL and noble and POWERFUL.
Plus, the option of sparing Lily came because Snape requested Voldemort. It seems like most people forget this detail. Or I am remembering incorrectly.
But like c’mon…. Do you really think that no other mothers did this to save their child? Erik is correct when he says is at least SHOULD be something more, so it doesn’t take away from ask the other mothers who died for their kids
@ if that’s the case then his killing curse should have rebounded again because Harry chose to go into the forest to die to protect EVERYONE, he had a similar choice to live or die as Lilly but no huge protection spell, just the horcrux magic
The shadow of the Basilisk and Fawkes fighting didn't petrify Harry because he's not seeing the reflection of the Basilisk's eyes per se. It's like when you're seeing the sillhouette of a person, you don't see the color of their eyes even if you see the shadow of their eyelashes.
Expelliarmus is depicted as red, not green in the movie. Also it mainly only takes this form when their wands connect, it is also often just shown as a wand getting knocked out of someone’s hand
Harry using expelliarmus isn’t necessarily goofy, it’s very purposefully done. It’s a signal of his purity, that he won’t kill, that even against Voldemort he shoots to disarm. It’s also what gave him away in the battle of the seven potters because he disarmed stan shunpike rather that knock him of his broom. It’s what makes him who he is, a full intact whole soul, against voldemorts maimed soul.
23:25 no no, you were absolutely correct in that assessment. Weirdly religious people are the ones having lots of children nowadays. And poor + religious people as well. And then, there's a few very rich (and sometimes famous) people also having tons of kids, but they can afford it so no one complains about it.
Filch being a poltergeist is a theory that I very much subscribe to. Solely because the Super Carlin Brothers made an incredible argument for it. It just makes more sense for him being one than just a regular squib
No I'm actually wondering because the events of Harry's time at school take place over the course of the mid '90s, Will they try to make the wizarding world vaguely '90s coded and have a lot of the muggle world extremely '90s coded???
I feel like I need to rewatch the movies now... its been a very long time, watching these breakdowns is fun. Also, I'm on Season 3 of Lost... loving it
3:09 I really like the Super Carlin Bros theory that Filch is actually a poltergeist not a squib. Like how Peeves is a manifestation of all the Hogwarts rule breaking, Filch is a manifestation of rules and order. Edit: I have arrived at the point in the video where they comment on this. I think saying the theory is “obviously not true” is a subjective perspective. It’s very well supported by the text, and yet the author almost certainly didn’t intend it. But tbh I just don’t think her intentions are any of our business. The text says what it says and now it belongs to us.
Half blood prince the movie has always bothered me and you guys nailed it - the book version of HBP is so so dark, brooding and just sets up so much intrigue about Voldemort. I always wished there could have been some kind of "remake/redo" on the movie
Honestly because of the intrigue and backstory that builds up Voldemort and how terrifying his background feels, that one is probably one of my favorites of the books!
Hi team! To help Eric understand a little better about his whole "but a shadow is a reflection". It's not about the "reflection" it's about seeing the basilik's EYES. If seeing it head on PERIOD killed you, it wouldn't matter if it were blind or not. It's specifically seeing its EYES. So seeing a reflection of its eyes petrifies, and seeing its eyes directly is what kills you. Once blind, it's just the teeth and size you have to worry about.
Every single Pottermore quiz I've taken whether it's on the official site or on like Quizzilla or whatever the Buzzfeed version was, I've always gotten sorted into Slytherin. My patronus probably did change, but the one I remember the most, was me getting a super rare one (apparently), the Runespoor. For those who don't know it's like this 6 foot long, 3 headed, extremely venomous serpent. These 2 things always stood out to me because snakes are my greatest fear. Like Ron Weasley/Rupert Grint levels of fear of spiders, but for me, snakes. If I actually got sorted into Slytherin I'd leave the school immediately.
Regarding the conversation about lily’s sacrifice I’m fairly certain that when harry sacrifices HimSelf in the 7th book for everyone at hogwarts. They then have a similar protection to what he had from lily. He says to Voldemort have you not noticed how his and the deatheaters spells have been less affective
In the books, it's not that expeliarmus is the "beam" that interacts with the green Avadacadabra lightning. Harry's wand shoots a beam of golden flames at Voldemort's wand, causing the clash. It's why the twin cores are such a big deal.
My 21yo daughter and I are doing our annual re-watch and talked about this very thing (2 other kids aren't at home for it this year 😕)... the 2 first movies are doing exactly what they should be doing - kids movies. They're very kid friendly and we like that. Very nostalgic and just right.
Appreciate all ur honesty & admitting maybe u could have offended folks w the Weasley family comment. It didn't bother me, but I can definitely understand if others got the feelings of disrespect. I always thought it was that mama Weasley always wanted a girl & she kept having boys so finally when she got her baby girl I thought it was pretty obvious that's when she stopped having kids. I didn't realize ppl would take that any other way so if anything thanks for opening my eyes to other possibilities. Enjoyed the breakdown! ❤💞❤️
I should’ve commented on this last week, but on the topic of Lily’s protective charm, it wasn’t an actual spell. In the book Deathly Hallows, after Harry willingly sacrifices himself to Voldemort and is carried back into Hogwarts, none of Voldemort’s spells stick on the students, Order, and parents, because Harry invoked the same protective charm [without a spell]
I decided to watch lost just because of how Erik and John spoke about it I would absolutely love a breakdown despite everyone’s opinion of the ending it is a beautiful show that hits every point I love
I was listening to this live on my commute home today. I couldn’t type in the chat since I was, y’know, driving my car 😂 but loved the convos! I’m excited for POA, that’s my favorite.
Love the breakdowns. Not a fan of the aftershow where you guys get annoyed at all the people who watch and comment on your videos just because they hold you guys to a certain standard of accuracy. You’ve set an expectation with thorough and detailed breakdowns for years. So it can be frustrating for some when details are incorrect or left out. If you’re going to get annoyed or make jokes about those particular commenters, just don’t address them. Gives me the ick a little.
And watching these movies again takes me back to being young again... These movies somewhat shaped my adolescent years from middle school to high school...
Does anybody notice that the BR light in the background has an N in the middle of it?...I don't think they did that on purpose but it looks dope cause The Breakroom is an offshoot New Rockstar... N.R. is in the middle of B.R... Noice...
I never watched or read them before but my mom loves it so when I saw you're breaking down the movies I had to go back and watch them. I'm on deathly hallows part 2 now 😁
Hope ur enjoying them. As an older adult, I had to get in the mindset that these movies to me personally are set up to grow along w the viewer if that makes sense. So I have diff views bout the movies vs. my kids that watched them as they grew up. ❤💞❤️
I was looking down away from my phone and I heard Gina say “did he have hot poops?” so I looked up and underneath her on the screen was an Audible logo that said “ there’s more to imagine when you listen” and in that context I don’t think I want to imagine or listen 😂
I believe that the protection that made it impossible for Voldemort to attack Harry at his blood relative's house was a spell that Dumbledor performed and was codified by his aunt agreeing to take him in. The other protection I don't think was a spell because Harry gave the same protecion to the people he loved when Voldemort tried to kill him at the end of The Deathly Hallows.
24:08 If it helps my dad is the youngest of seven and his dad is one of seven, and so on, and the reason is because they were farmers…and where do the Weasleys live? A hogbarn
Commentor explains that the villain gave the mom the chance to live. My dude here misses the point completely and says any mom would step in to protect the child. The comment just said. The villain must give the offer first. That is what is rare. Especially the fact that i doubt there are many cases of wizards going into houses specifically to kill a child
I love these shows and the breakdowns, but I have to say Gina’s attitude toward critical comments or those that correct errors is making this hard to listen to. You guys are doing a “details you missed” video, if you make an error someone is going to call you out on it. It should be respectful, but may not be. The way Gina is just glossing over legitimate errors in the script or verbiage and blaming it that “you people must be fun on dates” is incredibly immature and honestly makes this video hard to listen to…hope it improves in later shows
28:20 Hedwig's theme? The famous melody at the beginning of every HP film?! What? That's known by everyone as Harry Potter's theme, not his owl's. I'm confused now.
So I've been a new rockstars fan from the very beginning... I will continue to watch and support all your videos but I have to point out that it is a bit disappointing that corrections and comments are met with such aggravation from the team. Names, pronunciations and titles of things are given such importance because they do matter. When you don't pronounce something correctly, it can be interpreted for something else. While you live and breathe that material please keep in mind that there are people coming to it for the first time. And it matters to have it correct as much as possible. As someone whose name is hard to pronounce, it is disappointing to have to correct people more than once. That is why I'm a stickler when it comes to getting smaller details correct as much as possible. It's not meant with anything other than the atmos respect of love for your team and admiration for your hard work. We're just trying to also add a little something to make sure everything is correct but your contast annoyance at the audience is a bit much.
@banna_aton I'm not negating their work. They do an amazing job. I just don't appreciate the kind of combative attitude they have when it comes to comments. They don't know everything about every subject. And some people are just trying to be helpful.
On every breakdown video regarding Harry Potter I’ve been asking ANYONE to provide direct quotes of “the HORRIBLE” and abhorrent things JK Rowling has said and not one person has been able to respond. What’s up Eric?! You gone respond or just take shots at JK to appease a handful of children?

Feel like a kid again watching these breakdowns
I feel the same way...I just watched P.O.A. and it still mostly holds up...I remember that being our family favorite on movie night...
A big ass kid! Lol I got my wand lookin blunt and cereal!
Try supercarlinbrothers if you want some fun Harry Potter content. They're more book + cannon lore focused but def some fun theories in there.

@@calebmullins3577 I'm not taking that away but Voldemort didn't give other mothers the chance to step away.
@ if that’s the case then his killing curse should have rebounded again because Harry chose to go into the forest to die to protect EVERYONE, he had a similar choice to live or die as Lilly but no huge protection spell, just the horcrux magic

Ouuuu get em commenter! Get em!
"There's actually lightning coming out of my wand" -Gina
Erik's face was DIABOLICAL when she said that. Voss get your mind out of the gutter 😂
Did anyone notice Eric react to Evan walking infront of camera 😂. "Oh my gawd".
Expelliarmus is depicted as red, not green in the movie. Also it mainly only takes this form when their wands connect, it is also often just shown as a wand getting knocked out of someone’s hand

It’s what makes him who he is, a full intact whole soul, against voldemorts maimed soul.
I love when they go on tangents about their personal lives. xD
37:00 I don't think expelliarmus is the orange lightning. I think that's supposed to be the golden flame that prevents Voldemort from hurting Harry.
23:25 no no, you were absolutely correct in that assessment. Weirdly religious people are the ones having lots of children nowadays. And poor + religious people as well.

Been waiting for this. Loving the breakdowns so far!!!
I actually started re-watching the movies after these breakdown started. I have about 45 minutes left in half blood prince.

The shadow is not a reflection of light. It's the blockage of light.
Takes me back to the early 2000s watching your breakdown and discussions. Thanks, folk!

a shadow is exactly the opposite of a reflection. Is about looking the basilisk in the eye, not his body

Love the Breaking of the Breakdown on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. This breakdown is Avada Kedavra it!!!

My family is huge so I get it 😂

A shadow is an absence of reflection. The reflection is the light around the shadow. Same with a silhouette.
A shadow is an absence of light, not of reflection.
@KrazyDerek I guess I should've said there's no reflection due to there being an absence of light. Thanks for the critique. Does that seem right?
@@stevenjwiles Beautiful :)
Okay Gina! Eric, that's not how light works!!!
Ive been watching for months, and forgot to subscribe 😮
Gina!!!
The characters that were done the most dirty by the movies are 1) Dobby 2) Ginny & 3) PEEVES
Should definitely look into filtch is a poltergeist theory, hes basically the exact opposite of peeves if you think about it
Eric I’m number 6 of 10
I want them to get Ginny’s personality right in the series.
23:34 i am also the youngest of 5! 😂💗 and yes people do think we are religious and i also didn’t get enough attention 😂🤣

They only get petrified by looking at the eyes specifically through another medium.
Still think Matt Barry would be a perfect fit as Hagrid
You should partner with Super Carlin Brothers on one of your videos.
Justice for Peeves!
So ghostbusters “streams”-magic?
Quidditch
what is that noise in the background
This has been edited. It’s shorter than the live episode. Plus my questions have been cut out
Musical number at 100k. The only answer.
