Part 1 of 8! Look out for my Chamber of Secrets video!
Ok
I'm so excited!
Will do
Can’t wait!
Cheese🧀
I can't wait for the: Did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?" Dumbledore asked calmly.
That wouldn’t have happened if Richard Harris lived to do all 8 Harry Potter films. He would’ve done a different Goblet of Fire.
I blame the director more than the actors for the performances in GOF. Scenes are shot out of order so the director should explain the tone of the scene and what each character is feeling since the actors haven’t had as much time with the screenplay. The best example of bad directing in GOF is the last scene with the trio after cedric’s funeral. The trio is acting like just won the lottery when they should be in shock and scared of what’s coming next
HARRY,DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIYAHHH!
@@YellowBear-kx1ff I don't know about that.... mike newel messed up like AF
@@YellowBear-kx1ff If anything I think Michael Gambon should be praised for being so willing to change his performance by the command of the director, with Goblet it didn’t work out but that’s entirely down to the director.
He was working on this for a year and a half, Read each book twice and watched every movie at 4 times. Do you know how the long that would take. That just shows how dedicated he is and how hardworking he is.
We definitely all need to appreciate how much work this guy puts in. It’s incredible.
Yeah he even has trouble simply uploading these because of stupid TH-cam copyright “checks”
I'm going to guess it would take a year and a half.
And we know how much he dislikes the 5th book, that probably sucked for him
Absolutely!!
Ron: so I get my cool moments from the books, right?
Directors: of course you do, Hermione!
Ron : You wot m8?
And then they took her original cool scenes and then just gave her Ron’s 😒
@@haikuhaikyuu8124 I don’t remember that
Also yea, that’s true
@@haikuhaikyuu8124 just making up things now, because that didn't happen
Dumbledore saying at the end : "It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends. I therefore award ten points to Mr. Neville Longbottom." This makes SO much more sense in the books because Neville actually defended Harry Potter and his friends lots of times and always got in trouble doing so. Neville got out of bed to warn them for Malfoy who was going to stop them rescuing the dragon. Neville was so hurt when prof Mcgonagall told him that Harry Potter made up the dragon story to purposely get Neville in trouble. Not only Harry and Hermione lost points for gryffindor that night, Neville caused gryffindor to lose 50 points as well! In the books Neville cried himself to sleep because of this. That's why he chose to stand up against them when they were sneaking out again.
The part Neville & Ron throwing hands with the Slytherin trio would be sick af. It just made much more sense.
It sounds almost like you shouldn't be the trios friend. He tries to help them, he loses points. He stands up to them, and gets points.
I think they cut out Neville’s scenes to really give the viewer the ‘golden trio’ image. People in the movies would ask why Ron wasn’t there or why hermione wasn’t there. It’s a shame but I get it
America: it's Sorcerer's stone
UK: No it's Philosopher's stone
France: School of wizards
Wait, really? 🤣
Lol
@@Grace-pk5hl yup, really
In Denmark it's "The wises stone"
in the netherlands its: "the stone of wisdom"
but remember that its already an excisting thing, a philosopher stone, so its not like they made a weird version of the philospher stone but just how they how "always" said it.
One of my favorite parts is when after telling Molly about Harry, she immediately thinks about him being an orphan and therefore lost at the platform. Showed her character so well, he's not famous to her, he's the boy that lost his parents.
😭😭❤️❤️
Unless it's a women she's not very nice to Herminone or Fluer
@@AirQuotes she was actually nice to Hermione. But not very nice to Fleur.. Tbh I hated how the girls (Ginny, Hermione and Molly) treated Fleur. And Molly is not nice to Ron either
She’s a great character in the book especially. Movie is great also
@@olivagulabjan9 are you forgetting how she acted towards Hermione in goblet of fire? She bought into the tabloid gossip about Hermione and was very cold with her, which I thought was pretty pathetic. This is her son’s friend and a kid, Molly should’ve known better and been more mature.
Honestly, I really like the detail in the book that Hagrid got Fluffy from a Greek man, as the three-headed dog Cerberus was a big part of Greek mythology.
Finally, someone who shares my passion on Harry Potter and Greek Mythology!
I thought that too!
@@maydayxxx there more people like you , right 'ere 😇😄
@@maydayxxx not really almost everyone knows Cerberus is from Greek mythology
@@grisnowis2614 ikr, heck even someone who watched Encanto would know what it was from one of the lyrics in the song "Surface Pressure". This is where Luisa talks about how she should be brave too as Hercules didn't back down from fighting *CERBERUS* himself so she couldn't either.
The first flying lesson always annoyed me, how Ron's broom hits him in the face. He has been flying with he's older brothers since before he went to Hogwarts.
Yeah, it was just the beginning of the disaster that Ron's character got.
Oh really? Don't rmb that from the book. But gotta admit it's funny tho. Ron is suppose to be the sidekick?
@@testtubebabies8073 he’s way more than just a sidekick, Ron is basically the hero in the shadows. Read the books

That's true, I keep falling down a MovieFlame rabbit hole
why did you stop making vids?
@@ethanartell9504 busy!
I love seeing other youtubers I follow leave comments!
I agree! Your Harry Potter videos are awesome and not annoying, which so many are. I have learned so much!
Who here still remembers the first sentence of the book:Mr and mrs Dursleys of no. 4 privet drive were proud to say that they were perfectly normal,thank you very much.
LMAO yes! 😂
El señor y la selora Dursleys del numero 4 de privet drive, estaban orgullosos de decir, que eran perfectamente normales, y muy agradecidos por ello.
I also distinctly remember the one from the Scottish Gaelic translation.
I have the whole first page memorized 😌
i can almost recite the whole first chapter
Wow, Neville was actually a much more main character in the books, when you think about it. He was mentioned many more times in the books as opposed to the films. Wish he had more screen time in the film series, would have made his character development even better.
It could be said that Neville is actually the child of prophecy
@@CWils122 , yes same birthday and just a matter of which one V thought represented the prophecy. Lucky Harry. Not.
This video made me realize just how much the movies downplayed Fred and George's kindness.
Finally someone points it out
Not to mention their humour. Fred and George were way more active in the books
@@zaaisbadenhorst1991 Exactly
Neville too, I never really realized until now how often he was cut out or replaced by other characters even though he was always super helpful to the three main kids
Although Book-Fred definitely does have some edge to him.
It was quite satisfying when Harry was finally able to read the letter. And the one who played Hagrid did such a phenomenal job, especially delivering the “Yer a wizard Harry” line
I agree Robbie Coltrane did an amazing job
Robbie Coltrane you mean
If first-year Hermione would see this she'd say like: "You needed to add a - , after the wizard, and besides you're saying it wrong. It's harry, yer a wizard not yer a wizard, harry"
Stop following me......wait, of all people, I can't say that
@@justsomeguywithamoustache5087 Yo you were in Emergency Awesome's video last week!
The shortest book makes a 30 min long video. OOTP is going to be 3 hours
Im not complaining
And I can’t wait!
i would still watch the whole thing
Especially the Battle of the Department of Mysteries
3 hours? Pump those numbers up, these are rookie numbers! I bet it'll be at least nine and three quarters! ;)
And, yes, I cannot wait :)
I'll never forgive the producers for ruining Ron's character in the film series. Book-Ron was the favourite of so many people. The author even expressed some degree of exhaustion around how Ron was everyone's favourite and how nobody liked Hermione. Producer told her his fav is Hermione. And that shows, as Hermione got pretty much all of Ron's valuable lines, while he was left as some kind of comic relief/friction-creating character.
One of the worst is (SPOILER!) in book 3 when Ron limps in-between Harry and Sirius Black and exclaims that if he wants to kill Harry he's going to have to kill them too. Arguably one of Ron's most badass moments which shows his loyalty and friendship to Harry. In the film that line was entirely given to Hermione while Ron is whining and being worthless in the background. Wtf.
I really don't get how you can direct a film and be like "Yeah seems reasonable to just give this line to another character", for absolutely no reason?
Probably because they wanted a strong female character
To me, the most interesting difference between this book and the movie, is the relationship between the trio, in the books, hermione became their friend after they saved her from the troll, but in the movie, she kinda goes with them everywhere, and it has a lot more of screen time. Not only that, but in the movies, harry basically never had any beef with hermione. In the books it's totally different, hermione it's basically another secondary character until the troll situation, being constantly described as noisy and annoying, to the point where even harry told her to mind her own business. Basically, that whole animosity between ron and hermione in the movies, happens with both ron and harry.
Another interesting thing, is that in the movies, the houses share all the assignments, but, in the books, every house has their own classes, they only share potions and flying lessons with slytherin.
They weren’t friend with her until the troll in the movies either
i love how this shows that in the books neville is a part of many other scenes and has also sneaked out and stood up too, rather than in the movies where he got that one scene-- "i'll fight you" part. The book added more to neville's character as a whole and now that we know how brave he is for MANYYY things, by deathly hallows. getting reminded of these small details about him from the books felt nice
Ever since the the goblet of fire (movie) he has a lot more scenes where he's really helpful.
@@isomericgamer6644 you're absolutely right but I wish they portrayed the book characters as such. They did Ron soo dirty
@@coffeaddict5188 I agree with you. Thankfully he still has his moments in the movies like in the chamber of secrets and the order of the phoenix. And a couple of deleted scenes in the movies.
I agree. You really see in the books how much a devoted Gryffindor Neville was as opposed to the more timid film version. Almost makes you truly believe he could've been the Chosen One.
I'm sure you'll find a lot of "in the movie Hermione said the line, but in the book Ron said it" or any other character. They gave so many lines to Hermione that belonged to other people
Sounds like they made an assessment that she didn't have enough screen time.
and then they didn’t even give her the cool scenes or lines she actually did have 💀
They wanted strong female lead
I think it was because the director had a bias for her, but I'm not entirely sure.
@@CutesyEldritchHorror the director admitted that hermione is his favorite character
Neville and the twins played such a big role in the books but they got downplayed so bad in the movies
agree! and percy
@@YenellyT seriously, like when the twins forced him to wear the sweater his mom made him in the first book, he was hanging out with his brothers and harry the whole time
Neville is basically part of their group in the Philosopher's Stone book. He enters the 3rd floor corridor with them. He goes into the forest with them. The only thing he doesn't do is go to find the stone at the end but he still tries to stop them which is important (I know he does this in the movie as well).
@@shearman360 yesss
@@shearman360 exactly
When did the saga of "But they had Hermione do it instead" start?
With Seamus's first lines:

Laughs in Peter pettigrew
laughs in quirrel ( a ravenclaw)
Not true!!
I am Slytherin and look how well I turned out. I don't swear, smoke, drink alcohol, cheat, or kill.

@@arezdracul8650 what
@@arezdracul8650 uhh?
@@MorganKing95 but he WASNT
As a snake fan, the snake in the zoo is a boa constrictor (that's why it comes from South america)
in the movie, it's pictured as a Burmese python. ( Burma is a country in Asia)
Myanmar
Everyone knows it was a boa constrictor
In The Chamber of Secrets Harry mentioned to Ron and Hermione that he released a python on his cousin Dudley in the movie. In the book he said boa constrictor.
They probably used a Burmese python because they’re bigger and more impressive looking
@@tradeka4206 You're spot on; Boa Constrictors don't get large enough to "wrap around Uncle Vernon's car twice", but Burmese Pythons do.
All the times they make Hermoine look perfectly flawless in the films, and then cut the potion riddle, which IMO is one of her greatest deeds in the whole series...
It will always annoy me that they skiped a lot of the interactions between harry and the twins harry and ron were best friends but Fred and George were like big brothers to harry in fact they skiped a lot of the interactions harry had between the Weasley's
They skipped soooo much Fred and George stuff. This is why, while I do like the films, the books are so much better. It's a crime not to read them because tons of character development is left out entirely.
Peeves was such a missed opportunity for the films that one scene in Order of the Phoenix between Umbridge and the Weasley twins would’ve been better if it was like the books
Peeves wasn't really meant to be cut out. He was actually played by Rik Mayall (a household name in Britain), but was scrapped during editing because of his inconsequence to the plot, and to save time.
source: googled and copied
@@inmate-yj3ic and I totally get it and it’s one of those things that you can’t put every little detail but it would’ve been nice
Honestly, I prefer the movie version. Come on, seeing Fred and George just burst into the exam with a bunch of their exploding and colorful products as well as a dragon that chases Umbridge is so much cooler than them just them getting their broomsticks and flying off and sure, Peeves listens to them but still, not very interesting
@@joeyjerry1586Fred and George launched fireworks in the books as well
@@shar3859, but not during their escape from Hogwarts. It’s true they used them after Umbridge became headmistress but it wasn’t part of their actual escape from Hogwarts
I think by this part, he's memorized the books and films
Agree
Yeah, that sounds pretty accurate.
same
Me too
@@flyntflossy3044 not really
Harry falling right to sleep on the first night is actually so important because it shows he feels safe and that he belongs
I often wonder why so many details are changed in the movie, like Hagrid saying “Irish” instead of “Greek” or having the “R” on Ron’s sweater, when they could easily be the same as the book.
I’m surprised there was so many differences between this movie and book, particularly considering this is considered one of the most faithful movie adaptations
Most of them are just little details and things that didn't matter that much, unlike the latter movies where whole storylines and even major characters were cut.
I recently read the book again after so many years and was shocked by that too. I still find the movie completely faithful differently though for it still had a lot of important parts in just differently.
Why do they change the things in the book anyway?
It depends on a number of factors. Most of the time it simply has to do with the film’s runtime as a book would sometimes be so long that it would be next to impossible to include every little detail from the book without making the movie too long. Other times it also has to do with wether or not certain things that happened in the book would be easy to implement into the film where the audience would understand it or not and if the special effects are advanced enough for them to do certain things that would be possible with conventional means. Hope this gives you a good enough idea of why not all film adaptations are 100% faithful to the original source materiel.
@@anotherforabood6564 Well they had to cut out things especially in the early films for budget reasons and you only have so much time to tell a story in a movie. Writing a book you're not limited by these things only your own imagination. Pen and paper are not as expensive as camera film, renting/building a set, hiring actors, Visual effects, and paying crew members. As the series progress, they also have to maintain continuity. If a storyline was cut from a earlier film, you can't retroactively introduce its side effects in later films.
I think the film starting w/ the wizards was a bad choice. The book starts w/ Vernon Dursley in the muggle world and we saw the magical world seep in from his POV. It’s incredible, as like Vernon, we’ve no idea what’s going on, he reacts exactly how we’d react in the same scenario and it draws us into the story. By starting straight in the magical world, none of it’s there, and it’s far less interesting.
Completely agree!
i get what you're trying to say but i was already drawn to the story the first time i watched the movie. :)
Yeah but its not a long scene so it dont matter, starting with the muggle world would be just wasting time
I understand what you are sayig but I prefer the movie's version
Imagine a 1917 style one take sequence that followes Vernon Dursley on his day. That would've been an epic start.
Honestly I like that Ron said about bad wizard/witches being from Slytherin. It makes more sense for a kid to spread a rumour, than a teacher to be completely bias. Even if it is true so far, it seems a dangerous thing for teachers to push 😂
Hagrid isn't a teacher.
Hagrid wasn't a teacher at that point, and it matches Hagrid's personality as he always says what he thinks and he's not very good at keeping secrets
Yeah, a kid saying it is sensible than an adult
And when we end up finding out that it’s not completely true by the end of PoA, framing it as a rumor among students is ironically brilliant
“Not a witch or wizard who went bad who wasn’t from Slytherin”
Then we learn about Wormtail
Who was in Gryffindor
Edit: Also Quirrel was in Ravenclaw and look how he turned out
@@Boundwithflame23 - Yup. And Wormtail's Gryffindor besties James, Sirius, and Remus were the biggest bullies in school at the time.
Because Snape was softer in the movies, people tend to forgive him more easily. While in the books he was absolute horrifying and the worst a teacher could be (besides Umbridge of course) and I think they should've made him more unlikeable in the movies. Now we have this constant discussion if Snape should've been forgiven or not. But clearly he does not because he did one thing right.
His redemption arc could've been better, but I think of him as a grey character.
Snape was a bully and very terrible. The only thing that redeems him a little from being evil is his obsession with Lily ( Harry's mom)
I think it's because rickman knew about snape's backstory. In my opinion Snape got a little softer later in the books too so it could be that rowling herself didn't know about snape's backstory while writing the first couple books.
This is honestly so true, I was pretty neutral towards Snape in the films but after finishing the first 3 books he’s awful, particularly in the third one, he’s so awful
@@belinda8313Jear desus, you all need to learn what "obsession" means and stop using it incorrectly. Caring about someone and not magically being able to stop caring about them because they turn their back on you or die is NOT obsession. It's called actually caring, for fuck's sake. Something far too few people can grasp the concept of these days. 🙄 Not everyone loves more than one person in their life. And when you truly care for someone, you always do. The fact that he continued on with his life and didn't off himself or end up in a sanatorium, didn't try to harm her or James, and didn't try to force Lily to be with him, shows he wasn't obsessed. I think anyone would be pissed seeing someone they care about choose to be with an arrogant ass like James, even if you don't have romantic feelings for them. Was Snape a good person? Fuck no. I can't stand him. But how he felt about Lily wasn't obsession and wasn't what made him a bad person.
Moviemakers: okay so after diagon alley we skip to when hes taking the train, easy right?
The entire month of august: Am i a joke to you?
😂🤣
I like to think that in the movie, Harry just stayed in one of the rooms at The Leaky Cauldron for a month with Hagrid. Probably on Dumbledore's orders to make sure Harry was safe.
@@fournierman I think that was in a prisoner of Azkaban book
@@vineetraj7807yea but did that bc they thought Sirius would be looking for him not on Dumbledores orders
That’s always confused me, even when I was 7: ‘Wait, did they just go from diagon alley to the train station? Did all this happen on the same day?’
Dude! That TikTok you showed with the Centaurs and their prophecy made me gasp as I didn't realise it's connection to the last book until now. I'm surprised I didn't make the connection myself.
same bruh
Same!
I'm just sitting here all shook
@@tohruxkyo100 smae
Damn I didn't even realize that
3:07 Vernon doesn't actually remember Harry's name. He didn't even knew what his name was as he never met the boy. He did wondered whether the name was Harold or Howard. He eventually found out Harry's name when after he went back home and asked Petunia.
Which is funny because he said this himself in the Dursleys video which he made before this one
I felt like he was just trying to convince himself the events weren't related to his family and that he was hoping Petunia would say a different name.
Nah, he was just trying to convince himself.
He knew his name was Harry, he just didn’t want to accept that it could be connected to him.
I noticed that in the hospital wing scene near the end of the movie, it lacks one of the most interesting dialog between Albus and Harry, in which Dumbledore says "After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure"
This line is particularly interesting because it shows how much out of his mind Voldemort is in the series, trying to avoid death. It also foreshadows both Harry's and Dumbledore's death.
7:25 Movie Hagrid calling Dudley Harry was probably a 4th wall joke since that's the actor's name, Harry Melling.
Ohhhh
Imagine if Daniel Radcliffe was actually called Dudley Radcliffe XD
20:10 In addition to the Philosopher's Stone being renamed for the US; Fluffy coming from an Irishman in the film is another ruined reference to real-world lore. Hagrid getting Fluffy from a "Greek chappie" in the book is significant because the underworld in Greek mythology is guarded by Cerberus, a giant three-headed dog...the implication being that Fluffy, having come from Greece, is a descendant of Cerberus.
im guessing the joke doesnt work as well in the movie because they dont actually call him a Cerberus in the movie i dont think so less people would get it. even though thats still what he is, the connection would be a little harder to make without the words.
The Duel with Malfoy was put on GC version of Philosopher's Stone
Or no that was The PS1 and PC version not the GC version forgot to mention
@@CHLOCHLOLP they don't call him Cerberus in the books, either. it's a three headed dog, it's a pretty well known mythological character. just that descriptor alone is enough to identify him.
Also, Neville's leg-locker curse.. he didn't hop to the Great Hall in front of everybody. He actually hopped all the way up the stairs to get to the Gryffindor common room. That's where Ron told him he needs to stand up to Draco, and Harry said Neville is worth 12 of Draco which made me him smile.. this caused him to stand up to Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle at the Quidditch match, and he repeated what Harry had told him to their faces.. and even though he was knocked out cold, he was so brave in that moment.
Since I watched mostly all of this series, it’s kind of strange that the movies depicted Hermione as more of a Mary Sue than the books, taking a lot of other people’s moments and hardly having faults when the books show Hermione still being a hard worker, but messing up sometimes.
I've watched all of the Harry Potter movies, read the lore of the books, and not once did I see her as a Mary Sue. Yeah, she's book-smart in a lot of places and is considered a Mary Sue-like strength, but it can also be a weakness when saying that type of know-it-all language to a cynical person, like Professor Severus Snape. Of course, Hermoine does have a lot more weaknesses than meets the eye such as blindly falling in love with Gilderoy Lockhart, her mistaken distain and jealousy towards Harry Potter using a modified potions book by the Half-Blood Prince aka Severus Snape, accidently grabbing a cat's hair instead of human hair for a Polyjuice potion she worked on for a month, storming out of Divination mid-class, feeling emotionally distraught by others especially Ron, and getting bested by a Boggart (Hermione's real fear not included in the 3rd film for some baffling reason).
They made Hermione too perfect in the films
@@sashaking1115 Did you not read what I just said?
@@DachshundDogStarluck19 The thing that bothers most people is that good moments from, for example Ron, went to Hermoine. In a sense Hermoine is 'book smart' and Ron 'street smart'. Small scenes like the Devil's Snare with Hermoine finding the solution but Ron needing her to remind her she's a witch is teamwork, it doesn't take away from Ron nor Hermoine. But Ron panicking and Hermoine saving him all by herself does. And those moments just add up, Hermoine isn't so much a Mary Sue on her own, as she is in contrast to the other best friend.
True that. Specially when some lines arw supposed for Ron as hermione wasn't knowledgeable at wizarding early as a muggleborn yet it showed hermione at times far too perfectionist and mary sue to a certain degree hence I rather find the books more interesting. Also hermione was supposed to be book smart not infallible to leearn spell too easy considering they start as student yet Hermione seemed close to prodigy as tom riddle which is impossible!
I swear,the movie might as well named it hermione considering harry seemed even dumbed down.
This is sooo detailed - every single little detail is mentioned. You can only imagine the time and work that it took to make this
1 and a half years.
Flaws of the first film:
-Omission of Peeves
-Rushing of the first six chapters
-Hagrid is dumber when he can't spell Harry's name on the cake
-Draco meets Harry in a Diagon Alley clothes shop in the book, he and his cronies later mock Ron on the train to Hogwarts, however all this happens directly before the sorting ceremony in the film.
-Hermione is way more annoying and condescending in the book
-Ron is the calm and collected one while Hermione is the panicky and scared one in the book, but in the film the roles are reversed, making Ron a useless idiot and Hermione a Mrs. Perfect.
-Where is ARE YOU A WITCH OR NOT
-Gred, Forge, Percy and many others have more presence in the books.
Any more differences?
Mostly of them are to save time dude as movies would have been soo long and take lots of time to make as well a big duration of 5-6 hrs especially for OOTP it would take 10hrs atleast and literally they had done brilliant job with it and we need to accept the fact that they compensated the time
Neville has much more importance in the book, and he was with her grandma at platform 9 3/4
@@dannyjorde2677 Oh yeah.
@@skullbrain122 It wouldn’t save any time to make characters less stupid and Hermione less perfect. All the needed to do was rework the dialogue.
Snape’s handsome and wears trousers under his robes, whereas, in the books Snape’s has a hooked nose, greasy hair, and sallow skin. He also doesn’t wear trousers under his robes.
Dude imagine how deep this guy had to dig into the books and movies to learn all of this information. Really impressed with this guy’s dedication to his videos. Respect
In the grand scheme of things it isn't a big deal, but for some reason the change that bothered me most is that Ron when into the forbidden forest instead of Neville. Especially because in the next book, when they go to follow the spiders, Ron is freaking out because he had never gone into the forbidden forest before.
It's so interesting how my brain created a version of events that's a mix between the book and the movie, haha. Thank you for listing every single change! :)
WOW same
same here hahaha I'm so confused.
same. The scenes are in a mix in my head so I didn't know what to answer when someone ask me about what happened in the book compared to the movie😂
Same lol it was so funny because I was listening for them
Yes cuz I saw the movies first, I'm only just reading the book
"You're a wizard Harry" is the one change that is better than the book. Absolutely iconic line that is right up there "I am your father" and so many others.
Very much agree.
In the book it was just a you're a wizard. I don't think the difference is that great.
@@anonymousgaslighter345 I think it was “Harry, yer a wizard”
@@So_Indecisive I think you're right, I recently reread the book and I really think your version is correct
Don’t forget
“My father will hear about this” and “Scared, Pottah?!”
August: * Exists *
The Moviemakers: *We'll pretend we didn't see that*
I'm genuinely shocked that you didn't include how Ron saying that Hermione "Needs to sort out her priorities" wasn't in the book. And instead of Dumbledore roaring **SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILEEEEEEEEEEEENCE!!** to tame the uproar that happened after Quirrel after cried about a "Troll in the dungeon", in the book, he let off fire crackers to tame the crowd.
Im actually blown away that the dursleys even got harry a gift. As someone who only watched the movies, i thought harry was excited about presents bc he never got any from them. Thats awesome.
you should definitely consider reading the books! a lot of cool details are left out, especially in goblet of fire and order of the phoenix.
I would prefer never getting presents to getting a used toothpick😂
Yes, I’ve always thought it was interesting that they gave him anything at all!! Hagrid probably threatened them into it. That was the first year he had ever been given a present.
@@RoaringMind I believe he always got something for Christmas from the Dursley’s, even growing up. He said that one time he got a used toothpick, which I mentioned, and another time he got Uncle Vernon’s old socks (or just one sock, I can’t remember). I think their reasoning for doing this is to dehumanize Harry even more. I mean receiving nothing when your cousin receives all of these wonderful gifts is one thing, and a terrible thing at that. But being gifted a literal trash present and then watching your cousin open all of his incredible presents is a whole new level of degradation. And I can only imagine the Dursley’s would have been like “you ungrateful boy we got you a present. Last time we ever do that for you” if he ever asked or complained or even looked sad about it. So I think they literally just gave Harry these presents to show him how much more important Dudley is than Harry to them, and to remind Harry of his place in their family.
@@hatorade1031 ohhhh yes, you are right! I do remember that now, thank you for the reminder :) So I think the novelty of the fifty pence piece was that they had never given him *money* before? And that it was a little nicer than most of their presents?
I love how you actually considered spliting the Deathly Hallows into two videos like the movies. It would be extra work, but your dedication never fails to amaze me. Thanks!
I love the callback to the “are your a witch or what” in the Deathly Hallows..
They get to the Whomping Willow to crawl underneath, Ron: “I wish we had Crookshanks (to freeze the tree)”
Hermione: “are you a wiZARD OR WHAT”
It’s incredible to me how much detail they actually left out of ALL the movies. Once you get to the end of book seven, you realize that every single detail of every single book (no matter how seemingly small) was in there for a very specific reason. And Rowling ties it all up at the end in a tidy little bow. Most of her levity in the books along with the minute detail, was left completely out of ALL the movies.
Okay but the amount handwork he puts in really shows and he's very underrated for that
Imagine he making video of GOF and HBP ,there are lot of differences between books and movies of that movies
Half of the plot points in OOTP are missing as well
Oh he will have fun with that
Wait till he gets to The Deathly Hallows. 95% of what comes out of Hermione’s mouth in the movies, comes from Harry or Ron in the books, and the films completely re-write the Final Battle which is incredibly cinematic in the books.
@@matthewrosenthal753 Hermione is a Mary Sue in the movies but not in the books, the stupid Harmione shipping screenwriters and directors ruined the movies
@@quickbinger1058 I agree, the girl that hates flying, because she’s afraid of heights in the books, according to the films is the one that says Let’s take the dragon to get out of Gringotts with the cup. Not in the books. That one is Harry and he and Ron have to force her to even get on it.
The Philosopher's Stone is a real thing... Kind of.
It's from alchemy, along with the four elements.
I believe it's said to be able to bring the dead back to life and turn anything into gold.
In Harry Potter, it can probably revive the dead. It kept Nicholas Flamel from dying, and Voldemort wanted it to escape his "half-dead" state. He also promised to bring Harry's parents back if he gave him the stone.
This is why i believe the Philosopher's Stone is the "correct" title.
it’s philosopher store, not sorcerer Stone.
It’s so sad that Neville was cut out so many times, he’s such an underrated character and this thing happens so many times in the movies
20:10 Ooooh. I haven't read the first book in full in a long time and I had completely forgot about the prohecy part! THIS early in the series the ending was already set up. It also shows that Centaur Divination is also quite accurate about the events that will happen only getting the time wrong. This makes me wonder just how much more accurate centaur divination is to human divination...
There's one part of the books a centaur replaces Miss Trelawny, and we can see how the centaur's divination differ from humans
@@elenatomato8480 I know! I wish we could’ve had more of their kind of divination. Centaur divination sounds way more sophisticated and way more serious!
Potterheads (including me) every 5 minutes in the movies: THAT'S NOT IN THE BOOK!!!
Yes
Meanwhile Percy Jackson Fans: Atleast they are Harry Potter movies, we got Peter Johnson's
@@funwithsiblings7310 EXACTLY WHAT I WAS ABOUT TO SAY (honestly though, compared with the peter johnson ones, harry potter movies were way closer to the original). I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE PJO DISNEY+ TV ADAPTATIONS SQUEEEEE
@@randomtotally480 yess sir, Rick riorand's on board... It's gonna be a hit
I just noticed I wrote wrong spelling 😱😢
Also the layout of the houses is different. They describe their entrance as a hole behind the painting and in the movie its more of a doorway then a hole. and in the book the girls and boys dorms are on opposite sides of the common room with separate stairs. in the movie there opposite directions at the top of a single set of stairs.
It must be a crazy feeling being Snape. When you look at a boy who is the son of the woman you loved but at the same time also the son of the man you hated. He would see lily in harry's eyes and feel love and longing but then see james in harry's face and feel hatred
Your channel is the reason why I started reading the books
Same here
Same
This was an absolutely incredible and insanely dedicated video. It made me aware of so many differences between the two mediums that I was never aware of and really makes me appreciate just how descriptive and intimate the books truly are. The only thing I noticed that was missing was that, in the film, Hermione uses the spell Lacarnum Inflamare to burn Snape's robes, whereas she used the same Bluebell Flames spell that she would later use on the Devil's Snare in the books to burn Snape's robes. Other than that, I believe you managed to hit every single difference between the two to my knowledge. Incredible work!
Also I can’t recall from the movies but, there’s often mentions of the spiders that Harry saw frequently under the cabinet, they were kind of like his only friends so he was never bothered by them
Peter may be a creepy old man sleeping in the same bed as a 12 year old…. But hell, at least he had James’ back in the train, he’s like “hey that’s my FRIEND I I HELPED MURDER THAT YOURE DISSING THERE GOYLE”
Movie Dudley: ’’37!? Last year I had 37 presents, while Book Dudley had 38 last year?!”
4:41
Let’s just appreciate the effort Morgan took to make this video and how he had to wait for approval from Warner Bros to do this
3:12 "Which Vernon quickly *remembers* is his nephew's name"
I don't know why I found this so funny
There actually is deleted scene which can be seen in the extended version, where the trio sits in the great hall making homework, although Ron just plays with his Chocolate Frog Cards. We can see Dumbledores card, where the thing with Nicolas Flamel is written. So all this time Ron could have discovered Flamel, but didn't and instead Hermione did.
Just an nice little fun fact, knowing Harry discovered Flamel exactly from a Chocolate Frog Card of Dumbledore ^^
I'm so used to the first film with the deleted scenes that I forget they are considered deleted until somebody brings it up
@@nogagalili3675 Yeah, when I saw a video of all the deleted scenes in the first film, I was confused since I watched all of it, I think-
Am I the only one who would be beyond thrilled and honored to be called an amigo by a snake? Because I would love that ♥️
Let me just say the stars of Harry Potter have remained in the highest praises to everyone. Imagine being as big of stars as these ones and still being considered a good person nearly a decade later.
Round of Applause to the cast of Harry Potter🙏
This was so useful to me 2 months ago, when I needed to find differences between a book series and the movie counterparts, I chose Harry Potter, so this was a incredibly useful video to me.
Yeah?
I'd have done Percy Jackson. I'm not even a fan of that series but they got robbed blind.
@@winchesters4life34 Yeah, that's an interesting one. On the whole, I thought the first Percy Jackson movie wasn't too bad. There were definitely changes and some notable missing scenes, but it hit most of the major plot beats okay. The worst cut was the whole thing with Ares and the helm of darkness. Then the second movie was almost completely unrecognisable, so it's no wonder they never made a third.
@@TheMoonRover I always feel bad for a fandom when they get told a movie is getting made of their favorite books. they get their hopes up, just to be let down 99% of the time. I mean the writers are better off making a spinoff story in the same universe most of the time, that way they can do their own thing and fans don't have to get mad about how they changed the story. but alas, I have little doubt that most movie adaptations in the future will probably suck just as much as some of the ones from the past did.
This video is actually trying to make me cry. It is bringing me so many memory’s of reading the first HP book for the first time and watching the movie for the first time and pointing out the same small details.
i also want to point out, on the train, the chocolate frog never came alive in the books and when Dumbledore disappeared on the card, harry explained to ron, muggle pictures don't do that
shouldn't you be warning us about the transphobia
And Ron was so shocked, "Weird" he said XDD. That scene actually felt magical for me, seeing it from their perspective.
Because of your videos, I went back and finished HP. I fell off before Half Blood prince came out (the book) and never thought to finish the movies. But your breakdown of every detail made me realize how intricate the stories really are. Amazing work! I love watching your videos 😊
Ha, I also stopped reading in half blood Prince! But I'm rereading at the moment, Goblet of Fire, here I come!
Fun fact- While Fluffy is based on Cerberus of Greek Mythology, there is actually a Mythical Dog in Ireland called the Cu Sith (sometimes also spelled Cu Sidhe). I don’t know if the movie is paying homage / referencing another animal on purpose, but that’s kind of neat.
I tend to forget how close Harry was with the twins. They were the first ones to talk to him, and he hung out with them a lot more than is shown in the movies.
Morgan is maybe the sole reason to as why i am such a potterhead and creative
I have read all the books countless times and watched the movies almost as often. So I already know all these differences very well myself. The strange thing, though, is that when you can see them all back to back like this, that's when you really get a good idea of how it all fits together, so that the differences also finally make sense.
Very well done, thanks! :)
Its actually interesting the bit about Hagrid wanting a dragon. In the theatrical version, that scene in the subway isnt there, so at some point Harry just randomly mentions that Hagrid apparently always wanted one and someone just happened to approach him with a Dragon egg
I just realized at 9:30 Hagrid tells Harry about dark wizards from Slytherin but at the time Hagrid knew about Sirius who was in Gryiffindor ( Real dark wizrd was Peter but he was also in Gryffindor)
Right!
@@realhumphreyappleby thx
I always interpreted that line to be a generalization. It’s like saying “there’s wasn’t a single spec of dust left after they finished cleaning”. It’s just an expression used to get a point across but not meant to be taken literally
@@XxDeadpool99xX I interpret it as Hagrid believing (as everyone else including Dumbledore did back then, too) that Sirius killed Peter Pettigrew and 12 muggles, and thought of Sirius as being evil.
@@deltashit but when Fudge talks about Sirius he says the dark wizards most loyal servant saying he is Voldemorts follower which was untrue
One thing you didn't mention was that in the film, Harry does not ask Dumbledore why Voldemort had tried to kill him. That was a pretty crucial question that I wish they had used.
Amazing work! Thank you for all the effort you put into this series. I have always wanted to see a video like this comparing the books and the movies. I look forward to watching every part.
Makes sense that Hermione remained calm in the movie version of the devils snare because in the book she gets Gryffindor points for her logic with the potions so with the potions riddle removed from the movie they needed Hermione to gain those points somehow
I disagree, although it does make sense movie plot-wise it does take a lot away from Ron's character, something the films constantly do
New drinking game: take a shot every time he says "in the book" or "in the movie"
you would be wasted lol
@@3laina390 definitely... most probably already after the first minute xD
Don't!
I’m dead I hope your happy
@@3laina390 wasted? I think that’s an understatement 😂😂 the term you’re searching for is “alcohol poisoning”
I’m just now realizing that Peeves wasn’t in any of the movies.
I was disappointed by that. He was annoying but also had hilarious scenes! One of my favorites is him throwing water bombs at Ron and the other students in GOF!
One of my favorite scenes is Minerva telling Peeves the chandelier unscrews the other way with Umbridge standing underneath it!
@@makenanagasako6676 Everything he does to Umbridge and Filch after Fred and George left in Ootp was pure gold!
@@MattGraves01 solid peeves said oh the twins left... hold my beer
Took ya long enough lmao.
You put so much work into making these comparison videos, it's amazing. I was curious to know more differences since I haven't reread the books, in part because it would take a lot of time, so I can imagine how much of an effort doing so while catching the differences can be, thanks a lot for doing this!
Thank you so much for taking the time to put this series together. Your channel is the biggest way that I keep my love for the wizard if world alive, and I never fail to learn something new from your videos. Keep up the good work, you are amazing!
I love how ever little detail is being mentioned
This literally every difference
I love this video
Can’t wait for the rest
Specially goblet of fire
Goblet of fire book was a completely different ballpark than the movie....there was so much details in the books... also in the half blood Prince where they showed voldemort's journey , creation of hocruxes and him wanting the DADA post...
@@shikharrohela650 yeah I know I read the book and seen the films
To be goblet of fire is my favorite
Book of movie
I prefer the book
But I still goblet
And yes the half blood prince is gonna
Be a good one
@@rob-ron4231 yeah this might be the best series on this channel!!
One of my favourite change, albeit being highly controversial, is the opening scene in the Prisoner of Azkaban, when Harry is using magic at his 'home'. It perfecly captures who the main character is, without saying a word. At first we see a faint, glowing light. We immediatly get an impression that there is something odd and special going on there. as the camera comes closer, we see that the light is coming from a window of a house located in quiet neighbourhood that doesn't seem all that different from every other neighbourhood. Except for the flickering light in the window. When we finally see the inside of the room, we see it from behing the bars, almost as if it was a prison. In the room we see a character covered in bedsheet pronouncing a spell which causes the light to shine- why he does that, we still don't know. When the camera comes into the room, we are met with the reality of the situation. Hearing that his uncle is awake, Harry immediatly stops casting the spell and pretends to be asleep,so that he doesn't get caught. This strongly strongly resembles a situation in an actual prison, then the convicts try to escape and have to hide when the guard comes by. When the uncle goes away, Harry goes back to what he was doing. It turns out that he was reading and learning magic from a book. You could say, that by this he was 'escaping' the reality in which he was temporarily confined.
I don't care that it breaks the rules of the Magical World, Alfonso Cuarón did it consciously and it worked perfectly. The fact that he sacrificed the book canon to make this scene might even make it better.
I never noticed that symbolism before! But as much as I love that film, I wish Vernon didn’t say “you’re not allowed to use magic outside school.”, because it directly contradicts the opening scene
Nivan Sharma
Well I always felt like there was a difference between a simple Lumos spell and what Vernon was expecting after seeing what Harry did to Aunt Marge or much later in OOTP when Harry casts a patronum which was already stated as a high level spell.
@@dexholderred2469 that’s an interesting idea. I don’t think the difficulty of the spell would matter necessarily since levitation is taught to 1st years and Harry gets a warning when Dobby uses a levitation spell. But what you might be right about is how “magical” muggles would perceive the spell. Lumos doesn’t do anything a flashlight wouldn’t do so the ministry might not care
Cringe
@@XxDeadpool99xX Exactly, casting Lumos wasn't something extremely serious, it was basically a flashlight. Nobody at the Ministry would care or pay attention, as they were familiar with who Harry was and where he lived. So contradicting the lore with this spell isn't as damaging to the plot as people make it out to be
Ron seems to be kind of a badass in the books in comparison to his movie version lol
Screenwriter for the movies liked hermione but didn't like Ron, so all of Ron's good moments were given to other characters like hermione. Hermione also had a lot of character flaws removed.
@@silentnight6810 idk about the other books but people overexagerate the difference in Ron's portrayal in Philosopher's Stone. People seem to forget that it was still Hermoine's idea to use light on Devil's Snare, the movie just doesn't have her forget she knows magic which was out of character anyway. I've seen loads of people call Devil's Snare the trial that Ron solved when it never was. His trial was the chess one.
The amount of research this took, it's phenomenal! Also makes you wonder why some pointless things were changed, yes some stuff has to be cut but changing which country something is from is totally pointless.
Me thinking how strictly he will talk about the differences.
He: In the books Dudley had one present less in the previous year
So thorough
I hope you will mention how passive movie Harry becomes when Yates is made the director, with Hermione being the most active one - a great concept of videos, btw! :)
I’d love to see his review of the director’s choices and what he would do differently for each book
Here’s the bits I remembered: the opening with Vernon making his way round town, the instances of Harry using magic unknowingly especially the school roof, meeting Malfoy at the tailor’s first, and the potions riddle for Hermione.
You are by far my FAVORITE creator on all the platforms you make content for! It feels so good and validating to know that people love Harry Potter like I do because all my friends just do not understand lol
I really need these videos cause I’m always getting the facts from the movie and books mixed up
same since my version of this book is destroyed
I still do not understand why they couldn't digitally make Daniel Radcliffe eyes green. In Gone With the Wind, they painstakingly made Vivian Leigh eyes green even though her eyes were also blue. I guess they couldn't do what they did in 2001 what they did in 1939 with so much more technical advancement in 2001.
Fun Fact: Hermione actually slapped Draco, and the movies gave Ron's lines to others, making him seem like a useless best friend who only likes food. Also they changed it to the sorcerer's stone in the American adaptation because Philosopher is "too big of a word"
Where did you get that idea? It was all about marketing. Scholastic didn't think "Philosopher's Stone" sounded magical and gave the wrong impression as to the subject matter of the book. I read that J.K. Rowling actually gave them the alternative title when they asked for a change.
@@AttnDefDis_ there are both stories, and many people saying both. That is the one I heard more about.
That’s not why they changed it, it’s partly bc philosopher here means one who is philosophical in discussion of theory or a professional philosopher and marketing. Sorcery sounds cool and is magic like
What irritates me most about the name change is that the Philosophers' Stone is a piece of real world mythology that's been written about for millennia, not just some made up crap for a kids' book.
@@AttnDefDis_ For years they said that JKR thought of the Sorcerers title, but a Scholastic executive later said in like 2000 that it was one of their people. Rowling has said that she hated the title change, and if she had more control at the time she would have vetoed it.
There is so much fan art. The people who make these masterpieces are so talented.
