Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is the sixth book in JK Rowling’s massively popular book series, and dives into the mystery of the Half-Blood Prince, Voldemort’s backstory, the assassination of Dumbledore and the teenage romance occuring between the characters at Hogwarts. The movie though seems to spend a whoooooooole lot of time on the romance.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince raises a lot of questions. Like why not use the Felix Felicis liquid luck potion immediately? Or why not use the Truth Serum on Slughorn rather than create a super elaborate plan and hire him as a teacher? Can’t the Weasley’s stop their house from burning down? Do Harry and Ginny have any chemistry whatsoever?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Putting children in mortal danger is TIGHT!!!
"Fantastic kids and where to find them"
The return of the kid
@@PersianGato ...or at least where to find the bodies.
It's important to have hobbies.
Must be Ezra Miller's personal motto
"child endangerment plan" is just the perfect way to describe Dumbledore's antics
And JK Rowling's.
“How FFN and AO3 see Dumbledore”
Also, just the straight-up child sacrifice plan.
that's like the entire wizarding world. The forbidden forest is next door, cars that fly, death eaters in the 3rd book for no reason but only manage to hurt children. teleportation spells that are just the most dangerous
@@pocketheart1450 I'm starting to think Rowling hates children 😂
Fun fact! Lavender Brown had more screen time in this than Voldemort.
isn't that the character who was recast as a white girl between movies?
Word around Hogwarts is that she kisses better than Voldemort too.
She's more evil though
THANKS I HATE IT.
She deserves more screentime. All she was guilty of was having a crush on Ron. Hope she lived through that final stand at Hogwarts.
“Do they at least have good chemistry?” “Not even a little, it’s gonna be super hard to watch” Super true.
Harry and hermione had wayy better chemistry smh
@@ejodh0826 In the movies, yes. The thing is that Emma Watson has become hot way beyond what's Hermione supposed to be. Not to mention that they totally ruined Ginny's character in the movies.
@@modrozelenaalga9607 Shhh! Don't let the Harmony shippers hear you speaking sense.
@@modrozelenaalga9607 they had better chemistry in the books too. Ginny was forced. She never was possessed by Voldemort she was Imperiused so that “connection” to Harry isn’t true and he only likes her out the blue in book 6.
@@modrozelenaalga9607 How many conversations did Harry have with Ginny in the books before he decided she was the best girl ever and he was madly in live with her? When was all their chemistry built up in the books? When Harry was staring at her like a simp and realizing how much she wasn't like other girls with their annoying emotions despite the fact that they had no interactions together?
(And before you accuse me of being a Harry/Hermione shipper, I would never ship Hermione with that milquetoast loser. She deserved better than any of the assholes who thought _she_ was crazy for being disgusted by the concept of a slave race)
“Voldemort usually attacks at the end of the school year.”
Ain’t that the truth.
Well yeah. I just assume he gets seasonal depression like the rest of us
It is very kind of him to (almost always) wait until Harry's done with his exams before launching his annual Evil Plan.
Imagine if he'd sent Harry that vision of Sirius being tortured during his Defence Against The Dark Arts OWL instead of History of Magic? Harry would have failed it, and could never have become an Auror.
Straight up, saw a crack oneshot where Ron and Hermione thought they were making no progress on the Horcrux hunt because "Harry wanted to keep with tradition and resolve everything at once in June"
Well unlike Dumbledore, Voldy cares about the students education and future
The next pitch meeting should probably lead off with, "So this time, Voldemort attacks at the START of the school year. Really throws Harry off his game."
I love how Producer is always so logical until the second money is mentioned
Just like real life 🤣
except when he asked if the unbreakable bond was breakable
@@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369 It IS breakable, you just die... So, as long as you are fine with it, it can be broken for sure.
@JeThoreau ohhhh being toxic is TIGHT!!
@JeThoreau Dont worry Im not the one that made any generalization to show consistency, I did the exception, because even tho its pretty right i thought it was funny how for no reason he says something so random lol. also i dont recommend judging people using a youtube comment. Or maybe you ment my reply to someones reply on my comment that talked about Harry Potter logic and who seem to have deleted their reply since it wasnt great
Something that they changed in the movies was what actually happened in that bathroom scene. In the books Harry (obviously not knowing what the spell did and shocked) does everything to keep Draco alive and is actually concerned, and it’s honestly a sad scene because Draco’s in a lot of pain and Harry’s crying and frantically trying to fix him and get help. Movie Harry was just like “ok I’m just gonna leave you dying on the floor, have fun!”
I hate that change about as much as the fact they gave so much of book Ron's lines and decisions to the film Hermione , leaving film Ron a plucky and sometimes jealous oaf who's mostly treated as a joke.
That, and he actually does get in trouble for it in the book. He has to spend every Saturday for the rest of the year in detention (which even means he has to miss the final Quidditch match of the season, and - since he drops out at the end of the book - the last Quidditch match during his time at Hogwarts). In the movie, he just gets away with it.
As a teenager who saved money to go see this movie in theatre, I was devastated at the end. Worst harry potter movie.
@@8ee8ee8 I save money too I was devastated so I hate this movie along with Order of the Phoenix. I cant watch them
@@sarairuiz2369 why order of the phoenix?
“I like the way ya money!” I imagine all the producers of these franchises have had conversations like this
This should be top comment.
GENIUS line! 😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣
I like to think they do 😂
From the sound of one audience I saw it with, you'd think my date and I were the only ones who weren't teenaged girls. The Twilight-copying thing sheds light on why.
Hey shut up.
I love how Producer Guy went from utterly bored by the word "book" to knowing the plot points of the books
Guess he read all of them.
He learned that books can lead to money. And he likes money.
Character development
Actually that's another Ryan using polyjuice potion.
That's called growth
"Voldemort usually attacks at the end of the school year, so there's plenty of time here."
Very considerate of him. 😂
A very considerate dark lord!
He's a dark lord, not a monster.
Best part of the skit! LOL
Cause he cares of Harry s education.
he doesnt want kids to have free holydays..
I took a friend with me to this movie who hadn't read the books, and when Snape said "I'm the Half Blood Prince" my friend goes "What the hell does that mean?"
in retrospective, that's realy not too much explored in the movie, is it? I wich the harry potter movies had a directors cut, with all the extra stuff the books had.
@@sinedddmk8996 yah they hardly spend any time on it at all, which is why the typical non-book reader would be confused
I was so mad about the end of book 5 that, I quit the series, but then my mom wanted to see the sixth movie, so I read the sixth book right before I watched the sixth movie hand when I say right before, I literally finished the book in the movie theater while the previews were running using the light of the previews to read the last little bit), so it was extremely clear to me how different they were and I hated the sixth movie almost as much as Sirius dying as a result. I wanted to see the stuff I read on screen, because the book was pretty good, but instead I got the bad parts on steroids.
I remember him saying that Harry shouldn't use the spells he invented on him.
And because it was shown that the spell was from the book of the half-blood prince, it was clear to me that Snape was the original owner of that book ...
And I have not read the books first (well, I have read the first and second book, not further) °L°
Even in the books its barely a big deal. One of the things that convinced me that Rowling is a weak writer. He's the Half Blood Prince .... And???
my favorite part of these is always
"couldn't they-"
"hey shut up!"
Very recent -- and unlikely -- addition, but I've learned to live with it.
The delivery of the "hey shut up" is so perfect 🤣🤣🤣
@@kgosiitsilemodisaesi7580 That's what makes it great. The first time I heard it in a previous video, I had to replay it to make sure my ears weren't deceiving me.
I don't know, I'm a "get alllll the way off my back" kinda guy myself😅
@@earthling_parth I'm a big fan of
Because
I love how the producer actually cares about the books in this series, while the writer is just, "This is my rodeo now."
Feel like the writer is moonlighting at Amazon now lol
Fun fact Voldemort only has a total of FOUR minutes of screen time.
In the movie based on the book that tells us his entire back story.
Four minutes. In the same movie that instead of focusing on VOLDEMORT and HIS story focuses on TEENAGE ROMANCE.
No I'm still not over this.
Whoever said "The Burrow getting blown up and reassembled offscreen is more important than seeing most of the flashbacks from the book" needs to get hit with fifty Cruciatus Curses.
I'm also pretty upset about this movie lol. By far the best book imo. We learn SO MUCH in the books, but in the movie we just learn that Voldemort made 7 Horcruxes.... WTF!?
@@Lord_Alimdor For me the WORST movie is the 5th one for how DISGUSTING they did Harry's mental stress and breakdown cause in the book I read that part SO MANY TIMES I have PAGES falling out. In the movie it's just "you don't understand how I feel" makes me want to screech lol This is bad too but not as bad as that. Because it gave people such a bad impression of harry relegating his trauma to to TEENAGE ANGST thanks I hate it.
@@Lord_Alimdor It wasn't that great. Part of it was boring, part of it was cringy and a small bit was awesome. Besides, Deathly Hallows is my favorite book of all time.
OP is a true HP fan, and I'm here for it 😂.
There's a lot of cool stuff in this book. Let's not do any of that. Let's shove in a Twilight level romance into it because that's what's popular now.
Even though Harry Potter is the reason the Twilight movies even got made.
@@ThreadBomb If anything that should be an argument for putting it in.
Harry Potter movies did a fantastic job at cutting or abbreviating pretty much all the content that is central to making the book arcs work, personally I’m mind blown that the movies are popular at all. The only great one is Prisoner of Azkaban, and the only decent ones are Half Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows pt 1
God, I hated this movie so much
@@kaleb749 philosiphers stone and chamber of secrets are basically 1 for 1 for the book. 3 takes liberties but all for the better. All the ones directed by David Yates absolutely suck. Especially order of the Phoenix and half blood prince.
The exchange at 2:57 had me dying
"What's going on with Voldemort tho?" 🤣
I burst out laughing.
Nose job
Who cares, we gotta focus on teenage hormones
Hahahahaha
This is so true! I wish they had spent more time exploring his past in this movie but in all the others too!!!
“Yeah, but this is Hogwarts so they don’t really teach kids anything unless it could lead to them dying a horrible death.”
Between this and the Dumbledore child endangerment plan, I feel like this pitch meeting perfectly sums up life at Hogwarts
i feel like there could be a decent-budget parody version of harry potter and it would be super easy to write, barely an inconvenience.
I mean, the entire magical world considers life rather worthless. Let's not forget they are basically a global conspiracy manipulating and often endangering the lifes of countless "muggles" without accountability or oversight or democratic justification.
Umbridge could just restructure the entire school and torture kids without official repurcussion. They released mindless soul-sucking monsters and punished Harry when he stopped one from killing someone innocent.
The fact there is only one Voldemort is a joke, given the hatred for Muggles even in modern Hogwarts, just in Slytherin alone. If this was real, millions of muggles would be unknowingly enslaved my mages.
@@EEEEEEEE A
Remember how in the first year entering the forbidden Forrest was forbidden unless you went out after hours and you got detention in there with hagrid, and then in the later years they did teaching in the forbidden Forrest using hagrid
@@The_Serious_Chicken going in the forest during the day is probably safer than at night. It's like the desert. Safer but hotter during the day, cooler but dangerous at night.
I'm imagining Dumbledore addressing the sixth year welcome banquet:
"Sixth-year students are now allowed to openly try to kill each other in the hallways without repercussions."
[Dining hall goes silent] [Dumbledore looks down at notes]
"Oh, and may the odds be ever in your favor."
no

@@whitedragoness23Hunger Games
Your crossover scenario suggestion is tight!
Harry had more chemistry with the waitress than with Ginnie
Yes. Jesus. Yes. You could blame the actors or the script writing, but I felt the same about the books. ZERO CHEMISTRY.
God yeah. I wish the waitress was around more or Harry was in the Muggle world more. That part was strangely interesting
Harry had more chemistry with Romilda Vane that one time 😂
I always thought he would end up with Luna. Makes more sense and the actors had better chemistry.
Harry had more chemistry with Ron’s rat
“Hey shut up” is becoming my new favourite line.
wow wow wow wow wow
"So you want to have a new favourite line, that's got to be hard right?" "Actually, super easy, barely an inconvenience"
Hey shutup! 😂
@@froakiefact 😂
I never managed to grasp why the 6th film felt so hollow. I knew the whole "Snape's book" was explored more in the book but I never realized just now much teenage romance they added instead of focusing on the actual plot
It wasn't really added...the teenage romance was in the book too. The issue is there's a limited amount of plot they can include in the movie, and for some inexplicable reason they cut the actual plot and kept the teenage romance. In fact I'd argue the book has even more teenage romance since Draco also has a girlfriend.
@@ovinedreamer1451 right! I do vaguely remember that the Ginny Harry and even the Ron Hermione lavender triangle were in the book.
It's been forever since I last read the books, with every passing year I remember less of all the things that were different or left out with the movies
Voldemort and Dumbledore once again sticking to their strict schedules of child endangerment 😂
Oh, so basically Dumbledore put Harry with a crappy family so Harry would now think Dumbledore's "Child Endangerment Plan" wouldn't sound that bad. Well played, Dumble, well played.
"Meh, still better than living these these assholes..."
They were a perfectly nice family until they got all screwed up by living in a house with Voldemort's horcrux.
@@AllenKnutson no they weren't
@@AllenKnutson McGonagall said that they were the worst muggles imaginable before harry got there so yeah.
"Dumble"? Is that what his friends call him?
Wonder why they don't reduce his nickname to 1 syllable instead of 2, considering his permanent child endangerment.
At least in the books they explained that the luck potion takes half a year to make and uses really expensive ingredients. And if you have 6 months of luck potion, I don't think you need more
If you have six months of luck potion you definitely need more because you're definitely an addict at that point.
It's not hard to make it just takes a lot of time, the only hard thing is getting the ingredients. So you don't need 6 months of luck, you can just take it when you set out to get the ingredients. After that you don't really need it anymore.
@@EskChan19 Hermione said it was ridiculously complicated and Slughorn stated any mistake renders it worthless.
Also the whole toxic in large quantities bit but that requires you get it in the first place
Yeah that's only using regular human luck. If you're super lucky you could just mix some sand and water and end up with the same thing in 5 seconds

This is incredibly accurate. The book went so deep into the mystery of the half blood prince and Voldemort's past but I'm sure audiences were on the edge of their seats wondering if Ron ends up with Lavender
That's why I think a series would have much better covered the details of the books than movies.
@@rameeziqbal8711they're doing that actually!
“There’s no way for me to check that sir” 😂 the things we put up with
He doesnt even need to check its called the millennium bridge
@@slickm7 well to be fair, there's been another millennium so who's to say it wasn't built earlier? Lol. I side with writer guy
You can tell what creative process lead to the destruction of the bridge. It's mentioned in the book as a mystery that's beyond the muggle Minister and all of his engineers. It's an implied stealth-destruction, but naturally filmmakers want to turn what they can into visual spectacle and action scenes. It never hit me that the bridge they used was too new for the story, though.
Sometimes when I watched something dark, serious, stressful, boring or terrible… I can always count on Ryan George to brighten my day. Lol
Same

Checked out the news again? No worries, Ryan George is here for us all!
-Man, brightening your day after watching something dark, serious, stressful, boring or terrible must be hard!
-Actually, it's super easy, barely an inconvenience.
That movie wasnt any of those things
I will forever be furious about the “creative” decision to prioritize the teen drama aspects of my favorite book in the HP series over, you know, the actual interesting plot developments and Voldemorts history
And even then they completely ruined the Harry/Ginny story and made it super awkward. David Yates is a hack who should never have been given control over the hp movies.
Goblet of Fire and the Order of the Phoenix ftw! 💘
To be fair though, HP (even in the books) was never just about Voldermort, it was also about the growing characters and their interactions. By film 6, they'd barely given Ginny any screentime and Ron and Herminone's story was stale. There was a need for relationship development. I don't think the director made the wrong call, the problem was the delivery. There could have been a bit less teen angst to allow more space to the half-blood prince storyline.
@@Wurzelknecht The Harry/Ginny disaster started in the second film though. It happened because movie Ginny was never more than an insignificant 2D background character. No matter what Yates would have done in film 6, the couple would have been a fail. She should have been fleshed out and the romance thought through earlier on. Instead, the couple became an afterthought (like in the books).
@@gianellab.4953 He had the chance to start it in film 5, where the development also starts in the books. Ginny is barely mentioned in Prisoner of Azkaban and only gets her first few glimpses of growing up in Goblet of Fire, but it's in Order of the Phoenix where she begins to be a part of the group and her character or more precicely how much she has developed since book 2 is fleshed out.
But for some reason all of her lines are given to Hermione. Even her introducing Luna to the group which makes no fucking sense. Why would Hermione know Luna fucking Lovegood, who's a year below her and in Ravenclaw? And even if we pretend she's in Harry's year in the movies, then why would Hermione need to introduce her to Harry and Ron? They would've had lessons with her for four years, and she's not exactly someone who goes unnoticed by her classmates.
It was just a glaring oversight by either Yates and/or his screenwriter to kill all of her screentime, when they had to know that she would become Harry's love interest going forward, as book six had been out for a while by that time.
But even then, the way they wrote the scenes in film six were just cringeworthy. The room of requirement scene was just awkward and bad, while in the book it's a passionate kiss in the spur of the moment after winning the Quidditch cup.
Btw. I actually liked that Halfblood Prince had so much stuff going on besides Voldemort, as it had this feeling of "calm before the storm" and was a good excuse to let us experience one last proper year at Hogwarts before all went to hell at the end. It was the last time the characters could relax at least for a little bit and be normal teenagers (as normal as Harry could ever be) before reality bit them in the ass again.
The quick “hey shut up” killed me 😂
I still think it's a downgrade from "get off my back"
@@ianashmore9910 downgrading things are tight!!!
@@ianashmore9910 Hey, shut up and get ALL the way off my back on the downgraded catchphrase thing!
I'm gonna need you to get allllll the way off my back about how Tight saying "hey shut up" is.
@@ianashmore9910 Hey, shut up. 😉😆
For the record, it was the number of Horuxes Dumbledore needed from Slughorn. He needed to know there were 7 of them.
And if I'm not mistaken, he had only hypothesised that Voldemort was using horcruxes given the effects of the diary and the ring. He couldn't know for sure until he got the memory from Slughorn.
You guys need to do better. This is a lot less than two thousand words.
For the record…The sky is blue
Since one part would remain inside Voldemort, the plan was actually six Horcruxes, for a seven-part soul. Voldemort accidentally made a seventh.
If I counted correctly, that comment has either 21 or 22 words in it (depending on whether or not the "7" counts). Now you just need to write it 90 or 96 times to satisfy Ryan George's request at 6:32 - 6:36 (I'm joking by the way, not trying to insult you or be mean or anything).
The delivery of “Kormack McClaggen!” Hade rolling!
Watching pitch meetings after clicking on notifications is TIGHT
So tight
WOW
@@somerandolad oh no
@@chasehedges6775 beat me by two minutes
I wish I could go along with things as well as the producer guy does.
“An unbreakable vow, huh? Can that be broken?”
“No”
“That makes sense”
He almost said “it can”
To be fair, if you break it, you die... So it's close to unbreakable.
TBF, they do sound like breaking them would be super easy, barely an inconvenience
I thought this was a nod towards Dumbledore's Secrets lol
'So they kidnap him and bring him to Voldemort?'
'No, they just kinda leave him there'
LOL, this guy points out plot holes that I missed so perfectly. Really, what the heck is the point of leaving him there lying on the ground?
The point is that this is not what happened in the books :D
In the book, there is an all-out battle going on at Hogwarts while the Death Eaters that came out of the vanishing cabinet along with Draco and Snape try to escape. The battle is being held between Death Eaters, students, teachers and even Order of the Phoenix members, who were standing guard at the school. So there was actually a lot of chaos and destruction - this was a major battle, they didn't sneak unharmed and unheard of, like it was in the movie. Overall Half-Blood Prince is the worst movie adaptation of any of the Harry Potter books by FAR.
@@silass1000 I read the books. Bellatrix wasn't even there. Still, it made no sende that they didn't incapacitate and kidnap Harry. There was noone in the park who could've protected him when he duelled with Snape.
So the next movie could happen
Snape wouldn’t let them kidnap Harry
Why the f**k did they add Bellatrix in that scene. Added next to nothing except a plot hole. 😀
"I like the way you money!"
I WOULD call that a Freudian slip, but given how overwhelmingly he loves money, it was probably intentional.
I love how Ryan is giving us these HP pitch meetings just because and for no particular reason
Well, he could've timed them to the release of the Fantastic Beasts movies, but... why?
Yeah yeah yeah!
Wow wow wow wow, wow
If you do a video series that covers contemporary classic films, you try to cover all the ones you can. It's just a question of when you get around to any given one. It's going to feel arbitrary to the viewers at times.

@@manteltwinkelwink2271 producer: who? 😂
Like Voldemort, they were supposed to split it into seven parts, but surprisingly they've made eight of them. :D
Lol is that art imitating life or life imitating art?
“Seven is the strongest number”
Voldemort: So 8 it is then
Well, Harry was the 8th unintended Horcrux. So 8 movies fits into this theory.
Literally just saw this on Reddit where it had been reposted from Twitter. Copying a copy of a copy isn’t very original, my friend.
So a love potion is basically a date rape drug
Because of that ending, I fully expect Ryan to turn the The Deathly Hallows pitch meeting into 2 parts
"That's his favourite thing, putting kids in mortal danger."
I'm seeing Dumbledore in a new light😂😂
Lids
Tin lids= kids
Hence
Lids.
The lids in my cabinet or the mall hat store?
With the Lids in mortal danger, I'd be worried about slipping when the jam falls on the floor. very dangerous indeed.
Is that why I can never find matching lids to all my Tupperware containers? Damn you, Dumbledore!
Calling out Hogwarts on their unsafe practices is TIGHT
also absolutely cackled at the joke about Harry and Ginny having no on-screen chemistry. It’s so true; it was uncomfortable to watch
To be fair, I don't remember any noticable chemistry in the books either. They've spent a bit more time together, but Ginny was a very bland and poorly established character.
There's not a lot of chemistry one can have with someone like her.
@@denisbaev1580 Ginny was kinda cool in the book, and I'm pretty sure there wasn't a weird af scene of her tying Harry's shoes for some reason
@@truthwatcher2096 It's been a while since I read the books, but all I remember of Ginny is that she was brave and kind. At the same time you can say that about bigger half of characters in HP books.
She didn't stand out at all, which is why this romantic plot always seemed "meh" to me.
It isn't a joke, it's a genuine fact. As wooden as Radcliffe was in this, there was chemistry easily felt with Hermione or Luna. With Ginny was just nothing. Vacuum.
@@denisbaev1580 Well, some bit of character development and an actress with decent talent could do something with it nevertheless
*A Few Things From The Book You Might Want To Know*
- Dumbledore couldn't use the truth serum on Slugghorn because he was a potion master and could tell if it was in his drink
- Harry held onto the liquid luck partly because he forgot about it and another part because he had a selfish wish to use it to get together with Ginny
- Although Dumbledore did know about the horxruxes (or however they're spelled) it's revealed in Slugghorn's memory that Voldemort split his soul into seven pieces (not including Harry) so having the exact number was a help
- And yes, there's way more about the Half Blood Prince in the book than the movie, including why Snape calls himself that
Just cast magic on him and make him drink the serum.
well it’s the pitch for the movie
So I guess Harry...kinda...forgot...he had an OP luck potion that could give him a perfect day huh?
@@LOWBORN-the-LOATHSOME Yeah, "he kinda forgot" isnt a funtional excuse. But "hormonal teenager wanting to use a one-time-only magic potion to get with a girl", instead of for something actually important, sounds believable enough.
To add to this: the reason you couldn't use Felix felices to make more of it was that it takes like 6 months to make so you would only be able to get the crazy luck for one days worth of steps which isn't all that helpful
In fairness to screenwriter guy, I don't think Hogwarts cares nearly as much about the death of a student as they do about using their secret magic in the most public ways possible.
If my school had stairs that move and sometimes left spaces without railing or fence to prevent students from falling to their deaths I might teach them to Apparate sooner or make the portrait passwords available to every student in the school. I don't recall anyone ever using portraits in the movie or book series apart from the Fat Lady, but in the games Harry is able to use them all the time.
@@MusketeerGweneth Apparition is more dangerous than the stairs. You can lose chunks off your body by just getting distracted or having an intrusive thought. I don't know whose idea it was to call an apparition injury by a funny-sounding name.
It barely even applies, though. Ministry is on watch for spellcasting in front of potential muggle witnesses. Doubt there's a means to detect where magic newspapers are taken. And the only problem at all is if someone notices the pictures moving. Girl at diner does, but dismisses it as her own imagination. What's the worst that can happen if someone gets more curious about the pictures?
Well, they do run into walls at crowded train stations with no one noticing.
@@shantbe yeah, and I honestly can't say that wouldn't work irl. We are a pretty self-absorbed and unaware people.
My favorite thing about the luck potion "plot hole" is that you can literally do this in Skyrim
Enchant item for being awesome at potions. Put on item. Make a potion for being awesome at enchanting. Take potion. Make stronger enchantment for making epic enchantment potions. So on so forth
@@roscojenkins7451 I've been doing that with the new anniversary edition. You get way too powerful way too fast. For some reason, that doesn't bother me.

"What's going on with Voldemort, though?" is truly one of the funniest line readings I've ever heard. Bravo.
“There’s no way for me to check if the Millennium bridge was built before the millennium”
“Fair enough”
Always drove me nuts, that line with Snape going "I'M the Half-blood Prince!" because they literally never had a single moment established in the film where Snape knew about Harry using the old textbook. He had 0 reason to say that in that moment. Utterly unprompted.
I don't remember too much of the movie or book, but wasn't that Snape's spell? When Harry used it, then Snape knew he had his book. I'm not sure.
You are right about the film not showing details about half blood Prince and Snape, but I guess the reason he said,'I am half blood Prince' because Harry used his spell against him and no other person knew about the spell. This might be the reason Snape got to know that Harry has his book. But again, film could've shown more about Snape being half blood Prince and finding that Harry has his book.
Well I think Harry learned that spell from his book as he said just before, "You dare use my own spell against me?".
He figured it out when Harry used that spell in the book on Draco in the bathroom. There should have been more build up though.
@@mtrindade1092 in the books he sees that and that's when he asks Harry to bring his potions book, knowing something's up. He doesn't immediately know, he's not one to assume things and voice them loudly, he had to make sure. Harry brings Ron's book tho and fails to deceive him because it has Ron's name spelled on it, poorly at that.
I love how the sarcasm in the pitch meetings gets progressively better just as the movies get progressively worse 🙂
"Forcing old people to drink is TIGHT!"
I can't stop laughing at that.
I just can't.
Producer Guy just gets more and more felonious as time goes on.
And the screenwriter guy looking at him worried and being like "OKAYYY.." never stops being funny lol
"They don't teach anything unless it could lead to painful death."
Eight movies summarized in eleven words. Tight.
but harry doesnt go to hogwarts int he 7th or 8th mov- HEY SHUT UP
“Dumbledore’s Annual Child Endangerment Plan”
This should be re-enacted on an annual basis.
I'd love to see how he advertised the school to parents.
My current theory is that there is a magic charm on the school that makes people ignore the extreme danger for the kids.
You know it’s gonna be a good day if I hear: So, you have a movie for me? Yes, Sir I do.
Oh really!?
…..’oooooh what’s going on with Voldermort though’ part legit made me laugh out loud. That was hilariously perfect. Well done, as always 😄
I agree, I had to rewind to hear it again, brilliant, hahaha
Yeah, I love that line, and the head movement, it's just perfect
Honestly had to pause the video, I was laughing so much 😂 It's the tentative way he says it!
This was my favourite part! 🤣
Disclaimer: I'm not fun at parties
Dumbledore already knew about the horcruxes. He only wanted to know how many from slughorns memory. When voldy asks "could someone make seven?"
That's when dumbly realizes how many were there and how he could bring it to an end.
I was actually hoping someone would say this…so thank you!
Aaaah alright fair fair.
Although I wonder now, why not just tell Harry "hey so there are these Horcruxes we just need to know how many"
@@alyeanna maybe it was because he was worried Voldemort would find out Dumbledore knew about the horcruxes through Harry
Disclaimer: I am stealing your disclaimer, no further action is required.
Decent explanation. But I still thinks it’s dumb of dumbledore to pretend like he doesn’t know what horcruxes are all year
I’m so glad Pitch Meeting has their own channel. They carried Screen Rants for too long
Along with Pitch Meeting, Ryan George does actually have his own channel.
@@IAmMoonAstraea yeh and Ryan is hilarious on his channel too and super nice to see him out here winning 😄
“I feel like Harry being out in the muggle world by himself would’ve been a huge no-no in the books since the most dangerous wizard in the world and his followers are still dead set on killing him.”
“Listen sir Im gonna need ya to get alllll the way off my back about changing things from the book for the worse. We really need another hormonal teenager scene.”
Alright let me get off of that thing!
The sassy: “IIIIIIIIII’M the half-blood PRINCE!” 😂😂😂
The way he gets that SHUT UP into the conversation without being discovered is TIGHT!
Getting a new Harry Potter pitch meeting is tight!
New pitch meeting shows up in my feed.
Me: Wow wow wow, wow
The Weasley's house burning bothered me because they spent time creating a non-book scene and left out actual interesting and pertinent book content.
I freaking love how agreeable the Ryans are with each other. It's just an added touch I absolutely adore. And the faces he makes! Comedy gold, man.
The t shrit with the panda riding a whale doesn't hurt either
My favorite part of the movie is when Snape said "It was me Harry, I'm the Half-Blood Prince"
The Morbius memes have me so confused that I actually had to think about this one.
"It's snapping time!"
Recast Snape as Vince mcmahon "IT'S ME HARRY! IT WAS ME ALL ALONG HARRY! YOU ALL BOUGHT IT"
"Remember when you were making out with your first girlfriend, and you came right as she touched your leg? It was me, -Barry- Harry. I jerked you off at super speed so it would seem like you nutted at just a woman's touch!" - -The Reverse Flash, Eobard Thawne- Severus Snape
@@arturocaissut1071 Bend and -snape- snap?
My “Pitch Meeting” level complaints for this movie:
They spent the entire movie being actually quite faithful to the book (other than setting the Weasleys’ house on fire) and then changed the ending to have Harry willingly watch Dumbledore die rather than having been frozen in place by Dumbledore, which fundamentally changes Harry’s personality and his role in the end of the story.
The impact of Harry Potter is so strong that Producer Guy, someone who doesn't like to read and mocks nerds, knows about what the major theme of Half Blood Prince is and even talks about the moral implications of the Love Potion.
While I do like "hey, shut up," I really miss: "I'm really going to need you to get ALL the way off my back about that. Ok, let me get off that thing then." 🤣🤣🤣
I miss "that's the name of the movie!"
So the movie can happen
@@koala201211 On a semi related note. When he brought up that Draco is in the room of requirement, I was waiting for Producer Guy to yell “that was in the last movie!”
he did both of them in the thor pitch meeting, i'm hoping both can exist together
@@addictedtothewrittenword3451 Another good one 🤣🤣
I think the problem with the Harry Potter movies is that by the time they had to do HP4, they found out there was way too many pages to translate to a 2 hour movie, and had to cut some parts (like nearly every book to movie translation of a non-children book) and cut the wrong parts that didn't have to, like the Harry and ginny story, that started in HP5 (although that book was a brick).
I think that's part of the reason I love HP3, it had the perfect length to do a 2 hour movie without cutting substantial parts of the story (besides, Cuaron was the best director they could have chosen to do that movie)
Lol I hate to rain on your parade but HP3 didn't cut anything substantial?? That movie is filled with so much pointless garbage and then it couldn't even tell you who the marauders were hahahaha such an overrated movie, I have no idea why everybody loves it so much.
Snaps: You dare use my own spells against me, Potter?
Me: Wow that felt way cooler in the book
Ryan, this is a problem. Reading the books and watching the movies it never occurred to me how absolutely ridiculous these stories are, and you're screwing up all my blissful ignorance.
You need to get alllll the way off his back about that
Oh, OK, let me get off of that thing. 😁😁😁
I'm just rereading the books now and here's a fun fact. Harry at no point casts any spells to help him get the Philosopher's Stone. In fact he doesn't cast any spells on screen in any part of the first book.
A lot of the plot holes in this are explicitly addressed in the books. E.g. Harry brings up the idea of giving veritaserum to Slughorn and Dumbledore says that even setting aside the ethical issues with that he's pretty sure Slughorn carries around an antidote.
@@jackaguy A LOT of things addressed in the books aren't mentioned in the movies, and the movies expect you to know the books to keep up. My favorite example is Peter Pettigrew is NEVER referred to as Wormtail in PoA, and then ONLY referred to as Wormtail from GoF and onward, with no explanation.
Omg I laughed so harddd
"Ohh what's goin' on with Voldemort though" got me 🤣🤣
"forcing old people to drink is tight" 5:07
They spend almost the entire movie talking about teenage romance, but can't even make Harry and Ginny have a proper kiss...
2:06 "Couldn't you take some and then while you have Incredible Luck try to make some more?"
"Hey, *shut up!* And so Harry..."
I love how many of the mentioned issues of this movie are actually explained in the books - but when you look at the movies independently there are so full of gaping plot holes.... It's amazing
I was content with seeing people run around yelling and making lights with their sticks
@@cybercop0083 _Spekto Petronum!_
@@eradict You made my day! Yippeee
Yeah… And the book is filled with same bit of holes that make JK says “making umbrella will make your wand burst into flame and kill you” and everything…
Those were my exact thoughts when Snape revealed himself to be the half blood prince at the end. I was like “Okay? So?” Since we spent zero time actually hyping up that mystery.
When I watched it that felt like the only thing hyping it. And it wasn't really a big mystery cuz everyone was so sure that it was Voldemort, or at least that's what I expected.
What were you hoping for, a spell that turns your opponent into one of the ghosts from Pac-Man?
"So Draco gets all these death eaters into Hogwarts."
"But isn't Hogwarts protected by like a TON of magical spells so death eaters can't get in?"
"It is."
"So then how'd they get in?"
"Because!"
"Well okay then."
The film actually did a halfway decent job of showing the method. It didn't explain the vanishing cabinet in as much detail, but it did show that Draco was actively working on something via trial and error that resulted in several dead birds before he found a workaround.
The so important Slughorn's information was something that Dubbledor already knew 😅
Also, I always wondered why a spell that slashes people like an invisible sword would be invented by a teenager in the '70s. You would think someone in the Middle Ages - you know, when swords were still common - would've come up with that first.
Well, we know WAY better spells for killing/torturing exist, so a sword spell was useless even back then. Some edgy teen who call himself something so dramatic as "the half-blood prince" is exactly the kind of person one could picture inventing such a pointless spell
I was wondering what that spell actually did. The movie did not tell you at all. You just see Malfoy bleeding.
@@Cadaveralien the point of the spell is to be the peak of battlemagic. Every spell in the series is a thrown bolt of light that you can react to except that. It's a bit like how in Eragon/Inheritanc series there's direct/indirect magic. You can throw someone, which they'll block with ease, but if you throw the air infront of them, and that throws them, suddenly not so blockable. This is what we see at the battle between Volde and Dumbley. They both know probably all the direct spells, but know the other would block them. But can they block a dragon/snake made of fiendfire? (Dumley resorts to blocking it with water, and now the game's much more different no?)
@@sycariummoonshine7134 Isn't the killing curse unblockable tho?
I read this theory that Snape invented it to kill werewolves, after he was attacked by Moony. It does, after all, cause massive damage that even a fast healing and magic resistant creature would have trouble recovering from.
Did you know - The potion that Dumbledore drinks get the locket in the cave was just milk thinned down with water that was then fine-tuned using CGI. The liquid in Dumbledore’s pensive was created entirely with CGI.
Because Dumbledore learns from his mistakes
@@eduardoarmenta9232 💯 True
So Dumbledore must really hate milk based on his reaction.
@@n1cholasify Never seen Dumbledore drinking Milk tho..
@@n1cholasify It is milk watered down aka skim milk. His reaction is completely in line.
I enjoy how most of the plot holes he mentions are actually addressed in the book. Like slughorn having the antidote for truth serum always on his person.
Also the romance shit is actually done well in the books and we get SOOOOOO much time with Dumbledore and Harry exploring Voldermorts past.
"Forcing old people to drink is tight!"
Noyce! A hidden health advice to get old people through the heat waves. Thank you, Ryan, I'm gonna force as many old people to drink as I can get my hands on.
What will you force them to drink? Hopefully not cursed poison that makes them relive their darkest memories. . . . Unless you're Slytherin then I guess it's fine, I wouldn't want to discourage you from being yourself.
Guess that's real physical force if you use your hands.
Id recommend you buy a funnel, really helps get it down... not that I would know anything about that...
"Yeah that thing JK Rowling invented with HORRIBLE HORRIBLE implications."
Oh yeah just wait until the viewers find out that Voldemort aka Tom Riddle was conceived via love potion, you know the thing introduced in this movie and because he was born of a loveless union, it's SYMBOLIC of how he can never understand what love is. Really deep and thought provoking stuff.
oh wait that's only in the books.
I really really hate how Voldemort's mom is painted as victim in the books and Tom Riddle Senior as an asshole. Yeah, she had a shitty life but that doesn't justify kidnapping and raping an innocent guy for how knows how much time. She became as bad (or even worse) than her family. TBH there are tons of messed up stuff in the books too when you think about it.
@@azureflame125 Harry twice thought about unsubscribing from life. I forget the first time but the second time is when he and Hermione visit his parent's grave abs the book says AND I QUOTE "he wished he were sleeping under the snow with them."
@@TheRibottoStudios the first time is during his breakdown in book 5. "I WANT OUT I WANT IT TO END!"
@@azureflame125 dunno which book you read but tom riddle senior was painted as a nice rich guy who was even nice to Merope (voldermort's mom). while merope was shown as a victim of abuse, she is clearly shown as rapist and a bad person from dumbledore's point of view
... Because predestination is TIGHT?! 😬
I love the bit at 3:41 where The Producer Guy fed up with the romance scene and the Screenwriter just pulls out something completely random.
5:46 always seemed like the biggest plot hole to me. There’s multiple Death Eaters and Harry is unarmed and helpless, how could they not have summoned Voldemort right then and there? (And yes I’m aware of Snape’s double agent role)
In the bok I believe he was under his cloak. The movie IDK
It's weak in the movie... But there's potentially something about them needing to get far enough away from Hogwarts to apparate, so they'd literally need to carry Harry along (not impossible, but increases the chances of the Order catching up with them).
I can also buy that their instructions for this particular mission were to kill Dumbledore and get out. It's a huge win for Voldy, who would have had to find a way to overcome Dumbledore in the long run, even if he had killed Harry.
Throw in Snape being a double agent and deflecting any suggestions along the kidnapping lines due to reasons listed above... I can buy it.
It's very considerate of Voldemort to wait till the end of the school year if you think about it
Well he doesn’t want to mess with education the kids get that would be rude
@@Chipotleadvisory But he does want to kill them.
He seems to care more about the kids’ education than Dumbledore.
I had the same reaction during those scenes between Harry and Ginny I’m glad you talked about the fact that there scenes were incredibly awkward. Even though this was one of my favorite Harry Potter movies even have to admit the writers didn’t write them good at all.
3:20 best line
i've had an absolute shit show of a day, the kinda day that makes you wanna quit everything and be a hermit. then i checked youtube when I got home and to my delight there's a new Pitch Meeting. these things cheer me up like no other. cheers Ryan, you got something special here.
"but what's going on with Voldemort though?" Gets completely ignored 😂
When he says ‘CORMACK MCLAGGEN’ with 0 context the producer guys face perfect
I never knew Harry Potter was supposed to take place in the 90s until after all the stuff with it was done. So when I realized that LOCATION SET PIECE bridge in this movie that was in all the trailers back in the day I was going, "waitaminute..." for the rest of my years.
Thanks Producer guy for finally addressing this.
When I first watched this movie I missed that scene and it didn't matter at all.
"That's his favorite thing putting kids in life threatening situations"
Literally dumbledore in 1 sentence
5:00 Yes, that was in the book. He just needed to confirmation of how many and that. Dumbeldore showed Harry specific memories and basically did his hypotesis of why each one could be an horocrux. Wich actually help them when they decided to find those items in the next book.
"I like the way you money"
Got me floored😂
Six down, two to go...or will it be one? That's the million dollar question: will Ryan do separate Pitch Meetings for Deathly Hallows Part 1 and Part 2 or will he do a single video for both like he did for Twilight Breaking Dawn Parts 1 and 2?
No, he'll do part 1 and then split part 2 into two parts.
Has to split them and make the joke about how they're doing a part 2 to make more money, which I imagine will be TIGHT
The "perfect liquid death potion" ...
That's called poison, I can do that with things under my sink.
Basically Harry Potter: Let's introduce a useful magical item and never use or talk about it again
Pitch meetings does such a great job of pointing out the things that we didn’t notice, but seems obvious now after watching it!
6:05 "thats a good point... i like the way you money" perfectly splendid !!!
Spit my drink up when you said Voldemort only attacks at the end of the year so we have time for romance..too funny 😂
