No joke, this has to be one of the best videos I've seen on TH-cam. This does so much justice to the films that have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. You've brought up so many points that I'm surprised I didn't bring up and I now find more things to love and admire these films for. Thank you, Morgan. This is truly one of your best videos in my opinion.
Aww! Your videos are my life. I have a video idea, I don’t know if it can be as great as this video but please hear me out. Could you maybe do a video reacting to Harry Potter memes?? It would be so amazing! I’m not trying to force you but I would love to see it. Most likely when I mean memes Chanwills0, she makes videos with the big mouth filter on characters from the Harry Potter series and it’s super funny, check her channel out!!! Morgan, you’ve made my life amazing, your videos are so awesome! You inspired me to start TH-cam videos.
The transition from "you wonderful boy" to "you brave, brave man" is outright brilliance. It showed how Harry overcame every challenge the world threw at him and hes not just a wonder boy who survived the killing curse, but a man who has shown bravery so extreme that only one in a billion can show. These small details are able make small details a masterpiece
I think that’s exactly why he was placed in Griffyndor. Harry is just the embodiment of bravery for all the horrible things he went through and overcame. Lupin said it best with the dementors. He said the reason why Harry saw such horrible things through the dementors is because he has faced true horrors in his life. And even after that Harry also ended up suffering from trauma and PTSD from the grave yard scene, having watched Cedric die and Voldemort return. Plus he was tortured by Voldemort himself. And even after all that people mocked him and called him a crazy liar and and unstable attention seeker for trying to warn them of Voldemort returning. He went through so much other stuff also but I don’t want this comment to get longer than it already is lol.
My favorite cinematography moment will forever be the one in HBP after Hermione attacks Ron with the "oppugno" spell the camera follows her as she sits back down with Harry, Ron and Lavender as they go up in one of the towers and Draco atop the Astronomy tower. It shows how at the end of the day, Hermione will always have Harry, Ron will always have someone, but Draco is all alone because he never really extends his friendship to anyone. Sure he had Crabbe, Goyle, Blaise and Pansy, but he never really let his guard down for anyone. If HBP had more shots like this and less unnecessary shoe tying, it really could have been in the top three.
Another detail I always adore is how Narcissa Malfoy aides Harry by faking his death in front of Voldemort. Even if Narcissa meant it as an opportunity to confirm if Draco was alive, it's an amazing parallel to Lily's final sacrifice for her own son. Both parents protected Harry with the power of a mother's love.
why do all of ur videos especially these nostalgic ones gives me goosebumps.......................U rlly truly are fair and beautifully present a topic
I love all you're movie and character essay videos because I get to learn more about the movies I love since my childhood, this one has to be the best one jet awesome work man you really put you're heart and soul into this wonderful work of art
Cheers from Atlanta! I have been subscribed to your channel for several years and never contacted you before but this video is simply brilliant! What an awesome job you have done in dissecting every film and showing their similarities and how everything is woven together like a tapestry! Good show! Sean
I love this videos, this channel makes me feel in some kind of way.. nostalgic? I can't really explain my feeling but I keep watching your videos. I know how hard it is to make them and I know long it takes. Keep up the good work! This channel really deserves much more subscribers
This was an excellent view on these movies! The parallels that you discovered were amazing. There were a few in there that I noticed myself, and actually a few others that I thought should have been in this video... The theme of darkness seems to be added a little more to each film, if you compare the first film to the last... ( Deathly Hallows part 2) you almost feel like they're completely different franchise of movies if it weren't for the characters and the storyline, because what was a light-hearted adventurous kid based movie, has now become a dark rooted movie riddled with death and fear. It just always amazed me how each movie became more and more about others and not Harry, that's a complicated statement I know, but if you really look at the films, you'd see that Harry is always having others best interests in mind when he does things, which essentially makes the movie about others and not Harry when all is said and done.
13:04 I wonder why that has become almost like a rule for whenever someone is possessed, that they do that kind of movements with their heads. It may have been before that too, but the first time I saw it was in Charmed in the early 00s. Then other fantasy franschises have picked up the same feature. Wonder if the HP director was a Charmed fan back in the days, or if he got the idea from any of the others who've done the same thing.
amazing video, i ate the entire half an hour up as i do with every one of your detailed videos. This is off topic but I feel like you should make a video about the everdeen family other than katniss. People dont talk much about them special Mrs Everdeen
Honestly, not enough people talk about how good these movies are from a filmmaking perspective. The CGI in these movies (aside from a few instances in the first two) have aged so well. Goblet of Fire especially has mind blowing visuals, a lot of the cinematography (as you mentioned) is stunning to look at and the acting in these movies is truly incredible. Imelda Staunton as Umbridge is genuinely one of my favorite villain performances of all time
Literally so true. I really appreciate the level of detail in casting, sound crew, costume design, makeup and SFX teams, digital editing, scripting, directing, stunts, technical design, lighting and thematic details, and about 120 more jobs, hell even the caterers keeping everyone on set fed. So many jobs do not get ANY recognition and they should, especially on a film as truly incredible as the HP franchise
Yeah the movies made them look so awkward and out of place together but I think according to the books ginny and harry are really perfect because they're both interested in quidditch, good at magic particularly defence and much more. And most importantly ginny liked harry since the first book and if harry and hermione had ended up together ro and ginny would have been left just like that and Ron is a very important character cause hes the part of the golden trio of course
@@fahadtariq6167 I think people ought to reread the books if they really thought Harry and Ginny were perfect in the books. It's slightly better than the movies, but still feels pretty forced. Harry had more chemistry with like every single female character. Hell, Harry and Luna would've been a better pairing.
People may rip on these movies who love the books, but honestly it could have been far worse. We could have had an Artemis foul or even worse situation but thankfully the writers and teams cared about the source material and made sure they adapted as much as they could despite having the limitation of not know how the books would end given the books were still being completed while the first couple of movies were being made. I love these movies despite the flaws and always love rewatching them.
I dont know I cant really get with the fact that we’ll never see the wizarding world and hogwarts again. The best thing to do would be make a series on harry’s son, where an adult harry, hermione and ron can still be great characaters if u’d want to. That’d be epic, a whole new storyline with new problems to face and Harry (being an auror) needing to help out his son etc. Many ways you could go
@@merengue7139 didn’t they try that already with the cursed child? I haven’t read it, but heard it was a disaster. Either way, nothing can quite top the original 7 books/movies, the original adventure of the trio.
This man never disappoints, and this is probably the best video he has made. This is amazing Morgan, wow. Just when we think you’ve out done yourself, you reach farther for the stars. We love you, and keep up the good work.
This HAS to be one of your best editing works. The way you conveyed the parallels was so beautiful and artistic. Great job, man! Thank you so much for always doing your best to give us HP content over the years coming out with something new and refreshing every time.
i thought it was just me being dramatic or something😭this vids touched me too! like woah, i don't think i'll love the franchise more but i was wrong and they're too beautiful😭
I got so emo watching this aswell.. I literally cry always when rewatching the movies 😭..especially when Sirius hugs Harry or when he dies or when Snapes truth is revealed 🤧 Also I hate that Dumbledore and Sirius have to die so those two scenes are always so intense for me My biggest dream is to go to a camp where everyone gets to watch the movies over a period of days and discuss them😭and just indulge in fun wizarding world activities… 🤣oh man 🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯
33:08 Another small detail I like about the escapes, is how Sirius laughs purely out of joy for being saved, love for Harry and Hermione, and amazement of flying around the school on Buckbeak. But Bellatrix laughs this evil cackle out of her excitement to serve Voldemort again and to cause harm. Its a nice way of showing how these people were both Azkaban prisoners (and not to mention, SIBLINGS), but could not be more different in their characters. On another note, definitely one of your best videos yet Morgan, loving your stuff!
Despite its flows, the Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings Movies were examples of movie creators, for the most part, respecting the author and source materials. As Peter Jackson said, "We made a promise to ourselves at the beginning of the process that we weren't going to put any of our own politics, our own messages or our own themes into these movies. What we were trying to do was to analyze what was important to Tolkien and to try to honor that. In a way, we were trying to make these films for him, not for ourselves." That respect for source material, the creators and respect for Fans is something lacking today.
I fully agree, look at Peter Johnson and the lightning pistol.( It's not worth it to write the actual name of the movie.) That is a huge middle finger to Uncle Rick. They even made a second one. Peter Johnson and the sea of bullshit. They made Percy Jackson become "Peter Johnson" by fully changing his personality. It's a disaster of an adaptation and a movie.
@@marmarino2070 Like with Star Wars they made Luke Skywalker into Jake Sky in the Disney Fan Fiction movies and turn Boba Fett into Beta Fat and Obi-Wan Kenobi into Jake Kenobi in their "own" bait and switch TV shows.
Thank you for your touching tribute. I saw the films long before reading the books, so I grew up with the movies longer. This perfectly encapsulates the feeling of growing up alongside the characters.
I never realised how Ron and Harry scenes were so joyful. Harry explicitly mentions how much he missed hanging out with Ron between the 4 champions being picked and the first task in GoF, and also how he preferred Ron's company than Hermione's when they were not speaking like PoA and HBP. This is so nicely depicted in the films.
This is exactly why these movies are just a once and a lifetime moment. They are so well made and I think that’s why so many people love Harry Potter. It was done so beautifully, with so much detail in each. 🙌🏼♥️
@@GourSmith they could've had him repair his old wand ("this is the only wand I ever wanted to use") then break it ("no one should have a wand as powerful as the one I last used") to get both moments
I like the idea of him moving on to a different wand, part of why it chose him was his connection to Voldemort. With that connection severed, the wand would no longer be his in the same way it was before.
@@mattrobinson4663 It’s still his wand 🤡 You’re trying to be all poetic and philosophical-but it comes off as goofy. The wand wouldn’t change allegiance because Voldemort is gone. I assume you know the books ended with his original wand still being his 🤨
The "Harry and Hagrid" parallels are a legacy of the book, while most of the other moments are cinematic creations (as in how they were framed and stuff, which was not explicit in the book). But the Hagrid being the one to bring baby Harry to Privet Drive and then being the one with real Harry during the battle of 7 Potters, and similarly, Hagrid carrying Harry's supposedly dead form, were all motifs from the book, which I love.
This is honestly the best video essay about the franchise I ever seen. The detail you went in to it and the emotion behind your voice truly shows how it not only impacts you, but others as well. My favorite part of this would have been when you were talking about the utilization of the films. I am not a film major myself, but it is thanks to you I am more analytical to films I enjoy. Ever since I started to watch your video essays, I feel a little smarter on the process it takes to make a film. My favorite film essay is most likely the prisoner of Azkaban and how it was the best shot cinematically. And I love how you touched on how each film did that. With hit being transitions, establishing shots, or even the simple fact of a door opening or closing. It is thanks to you that I feel as if I learned more about film making, despite not being in the field myself. I can talk to a friend of mine who is in film making and I often use you as reference on how I learn as much as I have. Even though I still have so much to learn. I loved how a lot of this video was to help show how the films rhyme or expand on one another without it feeling...how do i put this, overused? No I think the better term would be that you made it feel like a loved project. 3 weeks went in to making this, I can only imagine how many times you must have watched the films to notice all of these. Your editing style certainly makes this feel more connected. Sometimes we have side by sides, sometimes its a quick jump cut to the next half of your point. But none of it ever feels lazy as if "oh and here we have". It feels like you are saying "And with this part" without even having to say the words. I will admit I teared up watching this beautiful video. It was well made, paced, and most importantly it conveyed the message almost perfectly. I say almost cause nothing can be perfect, there is always something someone will disagree on. I can certainly say that I loved watching this video essay, and all others that you made. Each essay has something unique about them, and I am not referring to the theme each was based on. But a sense of how you truly feel. I remember hearing you tell us how you got in to the franchise through your grandmother, and seeing these makes it kind of feel like a passion project to her. At least in my eyes. You put so much passion and love in it, and that truly shows. Keep up your beautiful work Morgan, I am sure that you make countless people proud with how you make these videos. I am sure if my school would ever have a class based on video, we would probably seen one of your videos as an example on how to create a video essay.
I love how all the filmmakers who made these movies helped make them feel congruent like a broader vision. Unlike the Star Wars Sequels, which felt like mess of conflicted ideas, the directors of Harry Potter really took alot of advice from those that came before them
Ive always felt that the way wizards hold their wand during duels says something about their personality For example lockheart holds it in an arrogant pose like he already knows he's going to win, while snape holds it more seriously because he is more serious about teaching the students
After all the videos you made of the world of Harry Potter. 7 books & 8 films. We still get to know things and have new content. Thank you for all your hard work. Love your videos so much
The first book I’ve ever read when I was six 17 years ago, the movie series I’ve seen the most times (like I watch them every second week or so). Purely magical, honestly. I have a similar, very deep connection to this series and I never was one of those “I’m not popular and need to get away to another world” kids, I’m your typical law student cool guy. I don’t think I can put it into words how much these books and movies mean to me because I for one do not know either how can they still make me laugh, excited or feel for the characters. Rowling is a genius, honestly and what the directors did with the world she built is just amazing. Great video, loved seeing those scenes for the ten thousandth time as well:) ❤️
I’ll be honest here. I never desired to watch Harry Potter or read the books. In 2020 I feel asleep at my homies place and he was watching you talk about Hunger Games…then I fell asleep and video about HP came on. You made it more interesting than anyone else had before… I read the books and watched the movies all through 2020 and watched ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS! You’re seriously my Potter Guru. I’ve probably watched 98% of your HP videos. I love what you do and I’m glad you do this channel. I’m a serious Potter Head…I’ve been to the Wizarding World 8 times in the last year (I’m from GA). Maybe one day I’ll post my own video of my adventures there. I never would have actually taken the time to read and watch if it weren’t for you. All the success in the world man. You’re great!
In Chamber of Secrets when rescuing Harry from the Dursleys, Ron says "Rescuing you of course!" and in Order of the phoenix when Harry asks Mad-Eye what he's doing at the Dursleys he says "Rescuing you of course!" cool similarity i noticed. great video man
I absolutely can’t stand when fans hate on the movies. In my opinion every one of the Harry Potter movies is a blast to watch. Of course they leave out little details and plot points sometimes but it’s a movie. Not everything from a book can be included in the adaption. It’s also rare that a series this long and detailed was adapted THIS well into film. We’ve seen countless books get turned into rly shitty movies and shows but with Harry Potter EVERY movie is pretty solid. Even the ones that aren’t people’s favorites. Like these movies are solid af.
It’s interesting about the mirror scene with Neville and Harry because they are very alike especially with the prophecy but although you said Harry had no one to comfort him when he saw his parents, I’d say dumbledore was there to comfort him. Anyway great video!
My love for Harry Potter movies is deep, but silent and private. My friends didn't know how much I love them. I always watching it alone, I don't talk about it, no items in my possession is about Harry Potter, I just watch it again and again. This is my comfort zone, and mine alone❤️❤️
The first two movies are the best, perfect for children, my nephews love them and are always watching them. They're just very cheery, hopeful, magical and kind of a pleasant "holiday" vibe. Good mix of halloween, christmas and summer themes. Though I do think Prisoner of Azkaban is clearly the best artistic effort, I always watch Sorcerers Stone and Chamber of Secrets when I'm feeling nostalgic. Goblet of Fire is a great action movie, too!
Lately, I’ve been trying to avoid Harry Potter content because I just get all sad thinking it’s an old series that has already ended, but your videos always somehow get to me. I can never resist so I always end up rewatching or waiting for more Harry Potter videos. You always do such a great job, I’ll always look forward to your content. I can’t wait for the new Percy Jackson series because I know you’d also create amazing videos from that.
I love the movies and they did a really great job despite not having all of the information as the movies were being made while the books weren't yet finished. It has it's flaws but I don't expect it to be an exact adaptation and it has most of the elements that helped made the books magical along with the spectacular actors/actresses that helped bring these characters to life. Great job to all the directors and writers as well 👏👏👏
Wow! If only I could hit that like botton more than once! 🤩 You did a great job in showing and telling us how amazingly the film makers did a great job! Thankd
I think what made these movies so special is that we grew up with them. I was twelve, a kid, when the first one came out. It was like seeing a fairytale on screen. When the saga ended I was an adult, just like Harry, and we both found out about darker sides of life. Great work!
The books and the movies perfectly mimic each other by giving us the magnificent view inside the magical Harry potter world. The memories live on forever and ever ❤️❤️ A dedicated true potterhead💯
This is brilliant. It's a loveletter in form of a shortfilm to the films. Thank you for taking your time to do all the work needed to create this masterpiece. This might just be your best work so far. I love your editing. Also, you pointed out many things I didn't notice before, so thank you for that as well.
I've seen the movies uncountable times and watched probably hundreds if not thousands of HP movie/book theory videos online, including all of your works, but this video still managed to surprise me. The way you found all these parallels is simply incredible, and I would have never noticed most of these things, even though I've been studying movie production myself. Kudos, this is simply amazing work and further deepens my respect for both the movies and your channel!

I love how Molly killed Bellatrix. But I would have been great as well if Neville could have gotten the chance.
Neither the books nor movies never truly ended in our hearts.
Huh?
@@dannyjorde2677 he’s basically saying that Harry Potter lives on in our hearts, it never truly ended.
I dont know I cant really get with the fact that we’ll never see the wizarding world and hogwarts again. The best thing to do would be make a series on harry’s son, where an adult harry, hermione and ron can still be great characaters if u’d want to. That’d be epic, a whole new storyline with new problems to face and Harry (being an auror) needing to help out his son etc. Many ways you could go
@@merengue7139 didn’t they try that already with the cursed child? I haven’t read it, but heard it was a disaster. Either way, nothing can quite top the original 7 books/movies, the original adventure of the trio.
@@merengue7139 You can cope as i do which is get really busy in life so you forget about it and rewatch the movies once in a while lol
This man never disappoints, and this is probably the best video he has made. This is amazing Morgan, wow. Just when we think you’ve out done yourself, you reach farther for the stars. We love you, and keep up the good work.
This HAS to be one of your best editing works. The way you conveyed the parallels was so beautiful and artistic. Great job, man! Thank you so much for always doing your best to give us HP content over the years coming out with something new and refreshing every time.
Not me crying because I feel such a deep connection to the movies and characters too. Thank you for your hard work as always and brilliant thoughts!
i thought it was just me being dramatic or something😭this vids touched me too! like woah, i don't think i'll love the franchise more but i was wrong and they're too beautiful😭
i cried like 10 times watching this
I got so emo watching this aswell.. I literally cry always when rewatching the movies 😭..especially when Sirius hugs Harry or when he dies or when Snapes truth is revealed 🤧
Also I hate that Dumbledore and Sirius have to die so those two scenes are always so intense for me
My biggest dream is to go to a camp where everyone gets to watch the movies over a period of days and discuss them😭and just indulge in fun wizarding world activities… 🤣oh man 🕯🕯🕯🕯🕯
Me too sis me tooo🤧♥️
33:08 Another small detail I like about the escapes, is how Sirius laughs purely out of joy for being saved, love for Harry and Hermione, and amazement of flying around the school on Buckbeak. But Bellatrix laughs this evil cackle out of her excitement to serve Voldemort again and to cause harm. Its a nice way of showing how these people were both Azkaban prisoners (and not to mention, SIBLINGS), but could not be more different in their characters.
On another note, definitely one of your best videos yet Morgan, loving your stuff!
Sirius was cousins to Bellatrix (and her sisters Narcissa and Andromeda) but yeah
@@gjungart Yeah I slipped up there, been a while since I last read the books lol
Sirius was not Bellatrix brother, he was her COUSIN
You made me appreciate these books and movies in a whole new way you’re really the HP goat
Despite its flows, the Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings Movies were examples of movie creators, for the most part, respecting the author and source materials.
As Peter Jackson said, "We made a promise to ourselves at the beginning of the process that we
weren't going to put any of our own politics, our own messages or our
own themes into these movies. What we were trying to do was to analyze
what was important to Tolkien and to try to honor that. In a way, we
were trying to make these films for him, not for ourselves."
That respect for source material, the creators and respect for Fans is something lacking today.
WB made both of these franchises. They're like the only studio that acknowledges the fans of a well-respected franchise.
@@arunr1627 on the other hand,WB has no idea what the DC Fans want.
@@arunr1627 No, it is the directors and producers. Warner Brothers hates the fans.
I fully agree, look at Peter Johnson and the lightning pistol.( It's not worth it to write the actual name of the movie.) That is a huge middle finger to Uncle Rick. They even made a second one. Peter Johnson and the sea of bullshit. They made Percy Jackson become "Peter Johnson" by fully changing his personality. It's a disaster of an adaptation and a movie.
@@marmarino2070 Like with Star Wars they made Luke Skywalker into Jake Sky in the Disney Fan Fiction movies and turn Boba Fett into Beta Fat and Obi-Wan Kenobi into Jake Kenobi in their "own" bait and switch TV shows.
Thank you for your touching tribute. I saw the films long before reading the books, so I grew up with the movies longer. This perfectly encapsulates the feeling of growing up alongside the characters.
I never realised how Ron and Harry scenes were so joyful. Harry explicitly mentions how much he missed hanging out with Ron between the 4 champions being picked and the first task in GoF, and also how he preferred Ron's company than Hermione's when they were not speaking like PoA and HBP. This is so nicely depicted in the films.
This is exactly why these movies are just a once and a lifetime moment. They are so well made and I think that’s why so many people love Harry Potter. It was done so beautifully, with so much detail in each. 🙌🏼♥️
All that got me mad about the last film is that Harry didn’t repair his original wand like in the book. That was important
Cinematically, no. What we got was more powerful for the screen.
@@GourSmith disagree
@@GourSmith they could've had him repair his old wand ("this is the only wand I ever wanted to use") then break it ("no one should have a wand as powerful as the one I last used") to get both moments
I like the idea of him moving on to a different wand, part of why it chose him was his connection to Voldemort. With that connection severed, the wand would no longer be his in the same way it was before.
@@mattrobinson4663 It’s still his wand 🤡 You’re trying to be all poetic and philosophical-but it comes off as goofy. The wand wouldn’t change allegiance because Voldemort is gone. I assume you know the books ended with his original wand still being his 🤨
The "Harry and Hagrid" parallels are a legacy of the book, while most of the other moments are cinematic creations (as in how they were framed and stuff, which was not explicit in the book). But the Hagrid being the one to bring baby Harry to Privet Drive and then being the one with real Harry during the battle of 7 Potters, and similarly, Hagrid carrying Harry's supposedly dead form, were all motifs from the book, which I love.
You make the best Harry Potter content on this platform, Bravo!!
The amount of work and effort this guy puts in making Harry Potter video even after a decade melts my heart and a big thanks to Ross ur the best
This is honestly the best video essay about the franchise I ever seen. The detail you went in to it and the emotion behind your voice truly shows how it not only impacts you, but others as well.
My favorite part of this would have been when you were talking about the utilization of the films. I am not a film major myself, but it is thanks to you I am more analytical to films I enjoy. Ever since I started to watch your video essays, I feel a little smarter on the process it takes to make a film. My favorite film essay is most likely the prisoner of Azkaban and how it was the best shot cinematically. And I love how you touched on how each film did that. With hit being transitions, establishing shots, or even the simple fact of a door opening or closing. It is thanks to you that I feel as if I learned more about film making, despite not being in the field myself. I can talk to a friend of mine who is in film making and I often use you as reference on how I learn as much as I have. Even though I still have so much to learn.
I loved how a lot of this video was to help show how the films rhyme or expand on one another without it feeling...how do i put this, overused? No I think the better term would be that you made it feel like a loved project. 3 weeks went in to making this, I can only imagine how many times you must have watched the films to notice all of these. Your editing style certainly makes this feel more connected. Sometimes we have side by sides, sometimes its a quick jump cut to the next half of your point. But none of it ever feels lazy as if "oh and here we have". It feels like you are saying "And with this part" without even having to say the words.
I will admit I teared up watching this beautiful video. It was well made, paced, and most importantly it conveyed the message almost perfectly. I say almost cause nothing can be perfect, there is always something someone will disagree on. I can certainly say that I loved watching this video essay, and all others that you made. Each essay has something unique about them, and I am not referring to the theme each was based on. But a sense of how you truly feel. I remember hearing you tell us how you got in to the franchise through your grandmother, and seeing these makes it kind of feel like a passion project to her. At least in my eyes. You put so much passion and love in it, and that truly shows.
Keep up your beautiful work Morgan, I am sure that you make countless people proud with how you make these videos. I am sure if my school would ever have a class based on video, we would probably seen one of your videos as an example on how to create a video essay.
Thank you for this amazing comment, I really appreciate the kind words
@@MovieFlame and thank you for all the hard work you put in your videos
I love how all the filmmakers who made these movies helped make them feel congruent like a broader vision. Unlike the Star Wars Sequels, which felt like mess of conflicted ideas, the directors of Harry Potter really took alot of advice from those that came before them
Ive always felt that the way wizards hold their wand during duels says something about their personality
For example lockheart holds it in an arrogant pose like he already knows he's going to win, while snape holds it more seriously because he is more serious about teaching the students
And Voldemort has that unconventional open hand grip, which shows his deranged and unpredictable nature
Cedric holds his like a gun because Pattinson thought it'd be cooler 🤣
After all the videos you made of the world of Harry Potter. 7 books & 8 films. We still get to know things and have new content. Thank you for all your hard work. Love your videos so much
This was…. A masterpiece. So many things I, a pureblood potter head, didn’t even notice and I don’t think I ever would. Wonderful!
Please don't ever stop making these harry potter videos. My whole childhood flashes in front of my eyes whenever i see your videos. Much love.
Are you going to make a video on people hating on the new actress for Annabeth?
The first book I’ve ever read when I was six 17 years ago, the movie series I’ve seen the most times (like I watch them every second week or so). Purely magical, honestly. I have a similar, very deep connection to this series and I never was one of those “I’m not popular and need to get away to another world” kids, I’m your typical law student cool guy. I don’t think I can put it into words how much these books and movies mean to me because I for one do not know either how can they still make me laugh, excited or feel for the characters. Rowling is a genius, honestly and what the directors did with the world she built is just amazing. Great video, loved seeing those scenes for the ten thousandth time as well:) ❤️
I’ll be honest here. I never desired to watch Harry Potter or read the books. In 2020 I feel asleep at my homies place and he was watching you talk about Hunger Games…then I fell asleep and video about HP came on. You made it more interesting than anyone else had before… I read the books and watched the movies all through 2020 and watched ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS! You’re seriously my Potter Guru. I’ve probably watched 98% of your HP videos. I love what you do and I’m glad you do this channel. I’m a serious Potter Head…I’ve been to the Wizarding World 8 times in the last year (I’m from GA). Maybe one day I’ll post my own video of my adventures there. I never would have actually taken the time to read and watch if it weren’t for you. All the success in the world man. You’re great!
In Chamber of Secrets when rescuing Harry from the Dursleys, Ron says "Rescuing you of course!" and in Order of the phoenix when Harry asks Mad-Eye what he's doing at the Dursleys he says "Rescuing you of course!" cool similarity i noticed. great video man
I absolutely can’t stand when fans hate on the movies. In my opinion every one of the Harry Potter movies is a blast to watch. Of course they leave out little details and plot points sometimes but it’s a movie. Not everything from a book can be included in the adaption. It’s also rare that a series this long and detailed was adapted THIS well into film. We’ve seen countless books get turned into rly shitty movies and shows but with Harry Potter EVERY movie is pretty solid. Even the ones that aren’t people’s favorites. Like these movies are solid af.
It’s interesting about the mirror scene with Neville and Harry because they are very alike especially with the prophecy but although you said Harry had no one to comfort him when he saw his parents, I’d say dumbledore was there to comfort him. Anyway great video!
Just a masterpiece from start to finish🔥
My love for Harry Potter movies is deep, but silent and private. My friends didn't know how much I love them. I always watching it alone, I don't talk about it, no items in my possession is about Harry Potter, I just watch it again and again. This is my comfort zone, and mine alone❤️❤️
Dat neck Twitch observation really gave me goosebumps!!!😱😱
Movieflame U'r incredible...
Hats off!!!👋👋
Oh!! I didn't xpected a LIKE 4m u @movieflame so overwhelmed 🥰🥰
The first two movies are the best, perfect for children, my nephews love them and are always watching them. They're just very cheery, hopeful, magical and kind of a pleasant "holiday" vibe. Good mix of halloween, christmas and summer themes. Though I do think Prisoner of Azkaban is clearly the best artistic effort, I always watch Sorcerers Stone and Chamber of Secrets when I'm feeling nostalgic. Goblet of Fire is a great action movie, too!
This just blew my mind and now makes me want to watch all 8 movies yet again. Excellent work MovieFlame! 10/10
A masterpiece in film history
Lately, I’ve been trying to avoid Harry Potter content because I just get all sad thinking it’s an old series that has already ended, but your videos always somehow get to me. I can never resist so I always end up rewatching or waiting for more Harry Potter videos. You always do such a great job, I’ll always look forward to your content. I can’t wait for the new Percy Jackson series because I know you’d also create amazing videos from that.
I love the movies and they did a really great job despite not having all of the information as the movies were being made while the books weren't yet finished. It has it's flaws but I don't expect it to be an exact adaptation and it has most of the elements that helped made the books magical along with the spectacular actors/actresses that helped bring these characters to life. Great job to all the directors and writers as well 👏👏👏
Wow! If only I could hit that like botton more than once! 🤩 You did a great job in showing and telling us how amazingly the film makers did a great job! Thankd
Absolutely amazing work. Very well done. As a Potterhead, I love content like this. You nailed it.
I think what made these movies so special is that we grew up with them. I was twelve, a kid, when the first one came out. It was like seeing a fairytale on screen. When the saga ended I was an adult, just like Harry, and we both found out about darker sides of life. Great work!
The books and the movies perfectly mimic each other by giving us the magnificent view inside the magical Harry potter world. The memories live on forever and ever ❤️❤️ A dedicated true potterhead💯
This video should be put in the museum, pure art
This is brilliant. It's a loveletter in form of a shortfilm to the films. Thank you for taking your time to do all the work needed to create this masterpiece. This might just be your best work so far. I love your editing. Also, you pointed out many things I didn't notice before, so thank you for that as well.
Was waiting for this video with so much anticipation
I've seen the movies uncountable times and watched probably hundreds if not thousands of HP movie/book theory videos online, including all of your works, but this video still managed to surprise me. The way you found all these parallels is simply incredible, and I would have never noticed most of these things, even though I've been studying movie production myself. Kudos, this is simply amazing work and further deepens my respect for both the movies and your channel!
So happy to hear something positive about Harry Potter for a change.
Harry and Tom Riddle's parallels were excellent.
Loved this vid. Great culmination of like everything
Seeing Morgan after so many days especially in the video about HP really gave me goosebumps. Great work brother
Love these movies and this channel!
