Love the cinematography in this film. Probably the only film in the franchise that succeeded in conveying the darker tone after the first two films without compromising on the aesthetics of Hogwarts and the grounds.
This man is legit a machine … he picked up and researched each piece of information. This is just awesome … wondering why the wizarding world haven’t noticed him. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves.
The world building in this movie was top notch. Also, the scene where Harry saves his past self and Sirius from the dementors is my favourite scene in all the movies. The choir and music in the background, the majestic light effects of the patronus, the cinematography, chills every time.
I do think the movie loses some points in world building for its failure to properly explain the Marauders, but otherwise it's done very well and it's one of my favorite of the movies.
@@BlueSparxLPs I don’t think that’s a world building failure, more so a storytelling failure because you could tell another story in the HP universe after the events of the books and not have it involve the marauders in any way
I don't know if this was intentional, but during the scene where the dementors are attacking Harry and Sirius, there is a moment when two dementors are doing the kiss on Harry simultaneously, while Sirius only ever has one at a time. This is because Harry has two souls in him (his and part of Voldemort's).
@Der Hüter I think the dementors only suck the soul(which means all the happiness and the will to live) out but can't kill a person or take their life out of them.
37:13 when Harry says “they were talking to me” this could be the scene in deathly hallows when Lily talks to baby Harry in the Pensieve, saying he was so loved.
I don't know if it's just me, but whenever I see the scene with Lupin and Harry, where Harry tells Lupin about the memory he chose, I thought this memory of Harry's parents talking to him was from the first film where Harry discovered the mirror of erished, As he clearly says, "I don't even know if it's real." But he was the happiest when he saw his parents in the mirror for the first time!!!
Thanks to you, now I know what "octogenarian" term comes from... I feel kinda stupid now, it was so obvious. I guess that makes me a... trigenarian? A person in their thirties? Anyway, lovely to see that HP brings together people of various ages, I've always thought that its main fanbase would be people like me, who were around the age of Harry when the books came out. Cheers!
Honestly the hogwarts grounds/castle changing slightly in every movie doesn’t bother me. It’s a magical world and the castle always felt alive to me in the book. So for some things to just randomly change makes sense to me
Yeah I thought about that too! I legit thought "if he owns a magic hair potion then why is his son's hair always messy" like even when he didn't ruffle it up it was still messy
That's why they created the hair gel. The messy hair is hereditary and their ancestor wanted to have neater hair, so made hair gel good enough for a Potter which meant that it was good enough for everyone.
Another amazing video. Just one thing. The book mentioned that Lupin always wore tattered and old clothing, as well has had old worn belongings, this was because he was unable to hold a job bc of his condition. This subtlety can be seen throughout the movie in his wardrobe and personal property.
In the scene where Hermione is about to punch Draco, you can actually see the other Hermione's hand in the entrance to the hallway where she explained to Harry what a time-turner is. Super tiny movement can be seen but it's definitely there!
These are two separate courtyards - clock tower courtyard with the fountain and viaduct courtyard without (but the viaduct courtyard is present from goblet of fire onwards replacing the entrance hall) 25:5126:06
Exactly what I was looking for. I guess Morgan would've noticed if he had played Hogwarts Legacy at the time of making this video. I've just finished the game, and looking at all the Hogwarts shots from this film makes me think that the game devs really did do their homework concerning the castle layout.

This detailed excursion into the 3rd film is over the top. The things you pick up on and now I have to watch and pause the moments you point out the set features that add so much without us even realizing it such as the posters and newspaper headlines. It's mind boggling actually that the writers and producers went into such detail. It shows they read and cared about the storyline even with the few departures. Thanks so much.
I love listening to your Harry Potter videos while I'm working at my job setting up breakfast for my guests in the morning. You explain things so well and it's highly entertaining while working early morning hours
i have always liked that when harry first sees sirius( in dog form), he scares harry on purpose so he would stick his wand out to protect himself and by doing so, call the nightbus.
I think Harry was allowed to use Lumos Maxima because there is a familiar muggle counterpart, the flashlight, remember when Harry was mad at the dursleys after the dementor attack? He unintentionally shot sparks from his wand and didn’t get a owl for underage magic, same when he used the wand-lighting charm after everything went dark.
There's a ton of problems in the movies and the books (as well) as far as underage magic goes. They explain that they can detect underage magic, the spell used, and the location- but not the caster. Harry shouldn't have gotten in trouble for Dobby using a spell in the Dursley's house, as nobody underage used magic. Also, they wouldn't have been able to tell that it was, in fact, Harry that casted a patronus when attacked by dementors. He was however the only wizard living in Little Whinging.
@@colintimp1372it’s explained in another video Dobby using elf magic is different than wizard magic. They never sent a notice because it’s not the magic they were tracking for! House elves magic is a whole different thing and that’s also important to know with Kreacher helping them later on.
Oh yeah, can't wait to get into this episode of the series. I love watching stuff like this, mainly from Erik Voss and Heavy Spoilers so I've really been enjoying this series from you.
38:57 I've always felt that if the Ministry just used Veritaserum, everything would be easier. 44:51 There IS a spell that makes doors impervious to "alohamora".
15:00 so they just found azkaban and dementors that they knew was made by a dark wizard and decided 'oh yeah these are perfect for that prison we were going to make'
I thought it was smart. The prison is already built, and the Dementors were probably dying of hunger by the time the Ministry wizards showed up, and offered to bring them a bunch of convicts for them to feed on, if they agreed to guard the facility and work for them if they need a soul eaten or whatever. Not a bad deal.
Ekrizdis lived at the island with the Dementors and put all kinds of protection on it. When he died, the protections was lifted and the ministry went to investigate it. They were so traumatised by the Dementors so they just left it at the island and eventually use it as a prison.
This video series is so cool! Just thought I'd point out that the character with the braids in the hospital wing is a character made for the movie called Kellah. She is played by Kandice Morris. Lavender is played by Jennifer Smith and is the girl with the straight hair sitting next to Parvati in Divination :).
YOU ARE THE GOAT! ❤️ Loving this series and really appreciate all your hard work on this one. Especially since I always do a marathon during the holidays and this is a great addition to it
I think Harry uses magic at the start of the film to instantly convey what the story is about: a teenage wizard. It's a very good filmmaking technique.
How does that make sense? I don't think that ignoring a large plot point from the previous film (almost getting expelled when Dobby uses magic) can be called a good film making technique. Plus it makes Harry running away using a fake name after blowing up Marge make much less sense, it's supposed to be because he thinks he's going to be expelled and have his wand taken away for using magic outside of school.
Nah it’s actually pretty dumb story wise since the whole point is Harry isn’t allowed to use magic outside of school and is worried about being expelled if he does it. I think they added it just because it looked cooler and that’s it
Speaking of Lupin looking ragged after transforming. That's also why he's asleep on the train, it's the day after a real life full moon, which they did again in movie 5 with the actual draught that happened.
There’s an interesting Easter egg in Hogwarts Legacy that relates to this film. In the books, Sirius is held in the office of the charms professor, and in the movies, he’s held in the dark tower. In Hogwarts Legacy, they attempt to reconcile the two by putting the dark tower on top of the charms classroom, with a set of stairs directly connecting them.
I love this series and this is one of my favorite movies and books can’t wait to see all other ones and question will you do deathly hallows in 2 parts or 1 part?
25:55 that fountain was in the clock tower courtyard and connected to the wooden bridge, the other courtyard was the entrance courtyard near the great hall instead of the clock tower meaning we just never saw the clock tower courtyard again lol
I have a theory about the 1 8 5 6 bags. Since the Knight bus was created in 1865, I think this was suppose to be an Easter egg referencing the date, with the last 2 bags being mixed up by mistake.
I had a similar thought. Rowling published the history of the Knight Bus in 2015 (well after the 3rd movie came out), so maybe there was a mix-up with the dates (1865 vs 1856) during production. You would think she simply could have matched the movie date with her Pottermore post in 2015 since there was such a long time between them.
How in hell did they get a combustion engine-powered(1890’s) double-decker bus first manufactured in the 1950’s in 1865 is bullshit of the highest order. I’m willing to accept a lot, but this is beyond malarky.
@@Ballin4Vengeanceo you're willing to accept the fact that Voldemort split his soul and couldn't experience love ,but you can't accept the fact that Wizards invented triple-decker busses before Muggles...?
Just a little note, the courtyard mentioned on 25:51 as well as the bridge on 26:02 are the new additions to Hogwarts that were designed for this movie and last till the end of the franchise. In the first 3 movies, Hogwarts doesn’t have a courtyard connected to the great hall, it has like an enterance hall that’s connected to the viaduct, which are on different sides of the castle.
25:50, that is a different courtyard, the clock tower courtyard was a new addition in prisoner of Azkaban and hence the new covered bridge with it. The great hall courtyard never changed until deathly hallows.
So, great video. But I thought I should clear up some stuff you say about the castle around the 26:00 mark. Firstly, the courtyard fountain is always present from this film forward. This courtyard it sits on is exclusively the clocktower courtyard, and the wooden bridge is unique to it. The courtyard you confuse it as is the viaduct courtyard, which didn’t exist in PoA. It was added in GoF and stayed until HBP until it was made bigger in DHP2. This courtyard sits in front of the great hall, not the clocktower. The viaduct courtyard and the clocktower courtyard are two separate courtyards. And both co-exist for the rest of the series. :)
Great video and analysis. Love these. One thing. I think the glass ball on Harry’s bedside table in the dormitory is the “pocket sneakoscope” Ron gave him the in a deleted scene. I don’t think they ever filmed the payoff with Sirius and the knife over Rons bed and the scope going off though.
Isn't the reason he is allowed to use Lumos Maxima outside of school is the same reason Fudge gave Harry leniency when he blew up Aunt Marge? Because they thought Sirius black was out to kill him and expelling him from school would only put him in more danger. Sending him to hogwarts was safer, or so they thought.
@@ashleightompkins3200 why would he think he can get away with it though? He was almost expelled at the beginning of the last film just because Dobby did a spell near him. He would have to be really really stupid to decide to risk that again unless he had some reason to think it would be different this time.
In case someone hasn't already mentioned this, Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown plays the man stirring with his finger in the air and reading "A Brief History of Time" in the Leaky Cauldron.
I've always hated how the Boggart classroom lesson was portrayed in this film. First it completely botches Harry's encounter with it, which makes the entire scene nonsensical. Then, it shows Lupin's Boggart as very obviously a full moon, which would make it quite obvious to the whole class that he's a werewolf.
Morgan, everytime I do a Harry Potter marathon I have that feeling of nostalgia when I'm done and then I'm like... now what ? Well I go to your channel and the nostalgia is gone! You keep the Harry Potter world alive with your videos.
The fact that Gilderoy Lockhart’s character was married to Professor Trewlawny, and had an affair with Bellatrix Lestrange is sooooooo messy. Lol I don’t understand why Snape had a problem with Neville. He is the one who told Lord Voldemort of the prophecy, so he is the one who should blame himself, and not Neville.
this jsut sound to me like a culmbs excused to make Snape some how looke better/justified but that sound close to victim blaming to me. Also Snape was mean to other students as well.
Falling into all this knowledge book by book and movie by movie for me has gotten me through the hardest month of my life. Thank you for being here for me.
All of these Easter eggs are fun to think of and impressive the amount of detail put into the movies even though they missed obvious and easy to implement ones from the books. You're channel is awesome Morgan and I love your analysis of franchises I love, but you mentioned something that concerns me a bit. You said most people start making memories at around 2 1/2 years old. Am I an amalgamation if I remember things from before I was 1 year old? I've confirmed the memories with my mother, grandmother, and the rest of my older family members and not a single one of them has ever once lied to me in my life but does confirm that the details I remember from a house I only lived in for 6 months after my birth and also a house we only lived in for 2 weeks after my birth.
Not me getting to know that you and my brother share their birthday. He loves your videos and he'd be so pleased to know this!! P.S. Happy Birthday in advance, Morgan💚
My family & I rewatch the HP movies every year for Christmas, which is now a tradition I also do with my husband. It’s great to have these breakdowns because it enhances my knowledge for HP even more. Thank you for creating these, I can’t wait for the rest of the movies.
3:06 To be fair, he is in his room where no one can see him, & we can somewhat safely assume that any muggle that sees the light through the window would just assume their neighbor was just using some unique (muggle) flashlight or something.
@@lexxihd5843 They might. But if he's in private, why should they care? Well, at least I thought the rule was you can't perform magic in front of muggles.
the point he's making of pointing that out, is that the MoM has a strict policy that underage wizards can't use magic at home, and especially around muggles. Think about it. 2nd movie, Dobby used a levitation charm on the cake and Harry was warned because they assumed it was him, and 5th movie, Harry used the patronus charm to save Dudley, and he was expelled, later given a hearing.
Nevil wearing suspenders and a vest over his pajamas is so on brand because one of the tips for school kids that have hectic mornings/wake up late/are just the most unlucky person on the planet and the world is against you getting to where you need to be on time is to dress or partially dress for the next day. I'm sure Nevil has been wearing this under his robes more than a few mornings, throw a robe over it and slip the tie a around the pajama collar and it's better than being late and possibly getting points deducted from your House.
Great work Morgan. Few extra points: the actor voicing the shrunken head is Lenny Henry who was married to the fat lady Dawn French at the time. The television programme playing in the Dursley house was the generation game hosted by Jim Davison - he hosted between 1995 and 2001.
23:40 if the prophecy was about Neville I feel like if jk Rowling based this around Neville the movie “the prisoner of Azkaban” would be about Bellatrix instead of Sirius
Why did Fred and George never see a guy named Peter Pettigrew,next to Ron,while using the map in Hogwarts? Harry was present when his parents died,so why could he not see a thestral from the beginning?
There hundreds of students in Hogwarts and by the time Ron came to Hogwarts Fred and George had been in Hogwarts for 3 year and they got the marauders in 1st year so they had a good knowledge of the school. I think you have to know that the person had died for it to work or to at least understand what death means. Harry was 1 year old so obviously hadn't a clue.
When will you do Easter Eggs for Goblet please I'm really looking forward to the rest as I rewatch every movie, and watch your reviews for every book/movie 🤩
16:21 I also noticed that the owl might be a reference to Athena the Greek goddess of wisdom. We can also see Greek mythology references in fluffy, the centaurs and Argus filch so I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a reference aswell
25:32 I think you mixed up the Clock Tower Courtyard with the Great Hall Courtyard (at least in the pictures), because 25:51 are pictures from the Great Hall Court Yard.
Movieflame I just want to thank you for your hard work, you are very well spoken and you put so much thought behind your videos, you are one of my favorite youtube channels!!
Something I don't understand is do you need a wand to change into an animagi form. Later in the movie wormtail used a wand to transform. Or did Lupin or Sirius put a magical block on wormtails animagi form so he couldn't get away?
That other train looks like a Muggle one, what used to be GNER (Great North Eastern Railway) it looks like it's what used to be called an intercity 225 which was the replacement for the intercity 125 which got mentioned in this book when they arrived at the station, it was just pulling into platform 9
I never heard of the story of Fred turning Ron's bear into a spider, I really like that touch. It's been forever since I've read the books, is it somewhere in there or was that added in after the fact?
Little Fun fact, the wizard reading Stephen Hawkings's book is Ian Brown, Vocalist of Stone Roses. Also the set for the shrieking Shack actualy have the second floor hinged to wave back and forth, a detail you can notice in the movie's climax as several things move back and forth inside of it. And throughout the time travel scenes, you can hear a soft ticking noise in the background. In the credits you can see "Nicholas Flamel" written among the many scribbles that make the walls of the castle in the map (this is seriously my favourite detail from the movie, how the map makes the walls all of scribbled words like ancient text) And regarding Time Travel, if we cound the.... ugh... Cursed Child as canon... the three different versions of Harry potter (Book, Movie and Play) tackled the three styles of Time Travel: 1 - Actions in the past rewrite the future - Book 2 - Nothing is changed, all is part of an endless loop, also known as the Bootstrap Paradox - Movie 3 - Changes in the Past creates alternate timelines that dont necessarily replace one another - Cursed Child. And thats actualy the best part of the movie to me, because we see foreshadowing of their time travel and how in fact, they changed nothing, everything was already set in motion, we just saw through different perspectives. Plus it solves the problem "why not solve your issues with time travel?" because in the movie canon, timetravel changes nothing, all is set in stone and timetravels are just part of the one and only event that unfolds.
I really wish more people realize this! The endless loop is one of my favorite changes between the books and movies, it just makes sense, even Rowling acknowledges it
Side note that most of the Wizarding world money that is in harry potter vult is a gift from one of his godfather sirus blacks family members witch was a gift originally ment for sirus black but was later given to harry
37:16 Fun Fact: During this scene in the film, when the camera is fully zoomed out, if you look to the right of the screen, you will see a small little Thomas the Tank Engine going around a track pulling coaches 😂
I actually thought that Harry could see thestrals because I thought he saw his parents die as a baby, not because of Cedric until I discovered it a few weeks ago. Still don't know if Harry saw his parents die or not..
So... wait, why did you think he couldn't see them in the first 2 years then, and that it was such a big deal he could finally see them in the 3rd book? Didn't that confuse you?
What I don’t understand is why professor mccgonogal gave hermaine the time turner in the first place, and what didn’t snape turn in Harry for attacking him.
I was waiting for you to point out the scene where Ron and Hermione are looking at the shack and Malfoy was like “looking for your dream home?” As if implying they’re a couple looking for a house which he was actually spot on about😅

I think Harry was allowed to use Lumos Maxima because there is a familiar muggle counterpart, the flashlight, remember when Harry was mad at the dursleys after the dementor attack? He unintentionally shot sparks from his wand and didn’t get a owl for underage magic, same when he used the wand-lighting charm after everything went dark.
I think mabye he could do it because it was homework.
@@vincentlu9092 I'm with you on there, it was homework, it's not like he was doing something improper
@@tarielkaroldan4106 he didn't give dudley a pair of ears to go with his tail
There's a ton of problems in the movies and the books (as well) as far as underage magic goes. They explain that they can detect underage magic, the spell used, and the location- but not the caster. Harry shouldn't have gotten in trouble for Dobby using a spell in the Dursley's house, as nobody underage used magic. Also, they wouldn't have been able to tell that it was, in fact, Harry that casted a patronus when attacked by dementors. He was however the only wizard living in Little Whinging.
@@colintimp1372it’s explained in another video Dobby using elf magic is different than wizard magic. They never sent a notice because it’s not the magic they were tracking for! House elves magic is a whole different thing and that’s also important to know with Kreacher helping them later on.
I love the detail we’re shown, so interesting and we’d never know this stuff without you, this series is such a banger, thanks loads.
Oh yeah, can't wait to get into this episode of the series. I love watching stuff like this, mainly from Erik Voss and Heavy Spoilers so I've really been enjoying this series from you.
38:57
I've always felt that if the Ministry just used Veritaserum, everything would be easier.
44:51
There IS a spell that makes doors impervious to "alohamora".
Your hardwork is unbelievable
Keep going Morgan!!!!
15:00 so they just found azkaban and dementors that they knew was made by a dark wizard and decided 'oh yeah these are perfect for that prison we were going to make'
I thought it was smart. The prison is already built, and the Dementors were probably dying of hunger by the time the Ministry wizards showed up, and offered to bring them a bunch of convicts for them to feed on, if they agreed to guard the facility and work for them if they need a soul eaten or whatever.
Not a bad deal.
Yeah, Kingsley definitely made the right call to remove them
Ekrizdis lived at the island with the Dementors and put all kinds of protection on it. When he died, the protections was lifted and the ministry went to investigate it. They were so traumatised by the Dementors so they just left it at the island and eventually use it as a prison.
This video series is so cool! Just thought I'd point out that the character with the braids in the hospital wing is a character made for the movie called Kellah. She is played by Kandice Morris. Lavender is played by Jennifer Smith and is the girl with the straight hair sitting next to Parvati in Divination :).
YOU ARE THE GOAT! ❤️ Loving this series and really appreciate all your hard work on this one. Especially since I always do a marathon during the holidays and this is a great addition to it
As always, amazing video!! Thanks so much for your hard work, it is appreciated
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
@@shrapnel_19 same
40:03 in fact that creature looked like that little thingy sitting right at Jabba's side which also laughed so mockingly. 🤔
Ah yes the Kowakian Monkey-Lizard Salacious B. Crumb
I think Harry uses magic at the start of the film to instantly convey what the story is about: a teenage wizard. It's a very good filmmaking technique.
How does that make sense?
I don't think that ignoring a large plot point from the previous film (almost getting expelled when Dobby uses magic) can be called a good film making technique. Plus it makes Harry running away using a fake name after blowing up Marge make much less sense, it's supposed to be because he thinks he's going to be expelled and have his wand taken away for using magic outside of school.
Playing with his wand under the covers,hehehe.
ah yes we need to establish what this movie is about, its only THE THIRD in the series...
Nah it’s actually pretty dumb story wise since the whole point is Harry isn’t allowed to use magic outside of school and is worried about being expelled if he does it. I think they added it just because it looked cooler and that’s it
*a rebellious teenage wizard
Harry didn't steal the lolly from Neville, it got stuck to his cloak, a nice visual detail to track Harry.
37:49 so Ron drew Peter like one of his french girls 💪🤣
Speaking of Lupin looking ragged after transforming. That's also why he's asleep on the train, it's the day after a real life full moon, which they did again in movie 5 with the actual draught that happened.
And I just made a comment about that, you beat me to it by 9 months XD
There’s an interesting Easter egg in Hogwarts Legacy that relates to this film. In the books, Sirius is held in the office of the charms professor, and in the movies, he’s held in the dark tower. In Hogwarts Legacy, they attempt to reconcile the two by putting the dark tower on top of the charms classroom, with a set of stairs directly connecting them.
I love this series and this is one of my favorite movies and books can’t wait to see all other ones and question will you do deathly hallows in 2 parts or 1 part?
25:55 that fountain was in the clock tower courtyard and connected to the wooden bridge, the other courtyard was the entrance courtyard near the great hall instead of the clock tower meaning we just never saw the clock tower courtyard again lol
I love how the films include subtle book references that there for you to say, “Wow! They actually included that!”
44:57 In this scene we can also see that Remus has New & Lingwood shoes which is a real muggle brand
I have a theory about the 1 8 5 6 bags. Since the Knight bus was created in 1865, I think this was suppose to be an Easter egg referencing the date, with the last 2 bags being mixed up by mistake.
I had a similar thought. Rowling published the history of the Knight Bus in 2015 (well after the 3rd movie came out), so maybe there was a mix-up with the dates (1865 vs 1856) during production. You would think she simply could have matched the movie date with her Pottermore post in 2015 since there was such a long time between them.
How in hell did they get a combustion engine-powered(1890’s) double-decker bus first manufactured in the 1950’s in 1865 is bullshit of the highest order. I’m willing to accept a lot, but this is beyond malarky.
@@Ballin4Vengeancemaybe the bus got upgraded through time? That when it started out it was a triple decker carriage?
@@draaijman Willing to accept a purple tripledecker coach. Perhaps drawn by therstrals or some other magical horses thing.
@@Ballin4Vengeanceo you're willing to accept the fact that Voldemort split his soul and couldn't experience love ,but you can't accept the fact that Wizards invented triple-decker busses before Muggles...?
Great video. I loveee the long videos and all the explanation to the details. Everytime I think I know it all, I learn something else
Just a little note, the courtyard mentioned on 25:51 as well as the bridge on 26:02 are the new additions to Hogwarts that were designed for this movie and last till the end of the franchise. In the first 3 movies, Hogwarts doesn’t have a courtyard connected to the great hall, it has like an enterance hall that’s connected to the viaduct, which are on different sides of the castle.
25:50, that is a different courtyard, the clock tower courtyard was a new addition in prisoner of Azkaban and hence the new covered bridge with it. The great hall courtyard never changed until deathly hallows.
So, great video. But I thought I should clear up some stuff you say about the castle around the 26:00 mark.
Firstly, the courtyard fountain is always present from this film forward. This courtyard it sits on is exclusively the clocktower courtyard, and the wooden bridge is unique to it.
The courtyard you confuse it as is the viaduct courtyard, which didn’t exist in PoA. It was added in GoF and stayed until HBP until it was made bigger in DHP2. This courtyard sits in front of the great hall, not the clocktower.
The viaduct courtyard and the clocktower courtyard are two separate courtyards. And both co-exist for the rest of the series. :)
Buckbeaks flight is my favourite scene in all 11 movies
11?
didnt peter die before lupin, as lupin died in the battle of hogwarts?
That's exactly what I was thinking. I came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed that
Read the top comment, he admitted that was a mistake
yes b
ut it still works he just said the wrong thing
i thought that peter died in the basement of malfoy manor, so before the battle
Great video and analysis. Love these. One thing. I think the glass ball on Harry’s bedside table in the dormitory is the “pocket sneakoscope” Ron gave him the in a deleted scene. I don’t think they ever filmed the payoff with Sirius and the knife over Rons bed and the scope going off though.
Isn't the reason he is allowed to use Lumos Maxima outside of school is the same reason Fudge gave Harry leniency when he blew up Aunt Marge? Because they thought Sirius black was out to kill him and expelling him from school would only put him in more danger. Sending him to hogwarts was safer, or so they thought.
That's what I thought as well
The question isn’t, why is he allowed to, the question is, why would he, because at this time he didn’t know the ministry would be lenient to him.
@@JustinKuhn It's Harry. If he thinks he can get away with it, he will do it.
@@ashleightompkins3200 why would he think he can get away with it though? He was almost expelled at the beginning of the last film just because Dobby did a spell near him. He would have to be really really stupid to decide to risk that again unless he had some reason to think it would be different this time.
@@OllieNorthover You could also assume that he's sleep deprived and not thinking clearly.
In case someone hasn't already mentioned this, Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown plays the man stirring with his finger in the air and reading "A Brief History of Time" in the Leaky Cauldron.
I've always hated how the Boggart classroom lesson was portrayed in this film. First it completely botches Harry's encounter with it, which makes the entire scene nonsensical. Then, it shows Lupin's Boggart as very obviously a full moon, which would make it quite obvious to the whole class that he's a werewolf.
Morgan, everytime I do a Harry Potter marathon I have that feeling of nostalgia when I'm done and then I'm like... now what ? Well I go to your channel and the nostalgia is gone! You keep the Harry Potter world alive with your videos.
The fact that Gilderoy Lockhart’s character was married to Professor Trewlawny, and had an affair with Bellatrix Lestrange is sooooooo messy. Lol I don’t understand why Snape had a problem with Neville. He is the one who told Lord Voldemort of the prophecy, so he is the one who should blame himself, and not Neville.
this jsut sound to me like a culmbs excused to make Snape some how looke better/justified but that sound close to victim blaming to me. Also Snape was mean to other students as well.
Falling into all this knowledge book by book and movie by movie for me has gotten me through the hardest month of my life. Thank you for being here for me.
All of these Easter eggs are fun to think of and impressive the amount of detail put into the movies even though they missed obvious and easy to implement ones from the books. You're channel is awesome Morgan and I love your analysis of franchises I love, but you mentioned something that concerns me a bit. You said most people start making memories at around 2 1/2 years old. Am I an amalgamation if I remember things from before I was 1 year old? I've confirmed the memories with my mother, grandmother, and the rest of my older family members and not a single one of them has ever once lied to me in my life but does confirm that the details I remember from a house I only lived in for 6 months after my birth and also a house we only lived in for 2 weeks after my birth.
Not me getting to know that you and my brother share their birthday. He loves your videos and he'd be so pleased to know this!!
P.S. Happy Birthday in advance, Morgan💚
10:45 I think the name “Third Hand” comes from the fact that this is based on book 3.
My family & I rewatch the HP movies every year for Christmas, which is now a tradition I also do with my husband. It’s great to have these breakdowns because it enhances my knowledge for HP even more. Thank you for creating these, I can’t wait for the rest of the movies.
3:06 To be fair, he is in his room where no one can see him, & we can somewhat safely assume that any muggle that sees the light through the window would just assume their neighbor was just using some unique (muggle) flashlight or something.
But the ministry does still track him, don't they?
@@lexxihd5843 They might. But if he's in private, why should they care? Well, at least I thought the rule was you can't perform magic in front of muggles.
@@ericyoung1478 No im pretty sure its in general. Also just read it in the Wiki. They shouldn't care, but they do.
the point he's making of pointing that out, is that the MoM has a strict policy that underage wizards can't use magic at home, and especially around muggles. Think about it. 2nd movie, Dobby used a levitation charm on the cake and Harry was warned because they assumed it was him, and 5th movie, Harry used the patronus charm to save Dudley, and he was expelled, later given a hearing.
Bro your channel is gonna get sooooo huge when people discover these amazingly made and entertaining vids 👌👌 🤝
This is my favorite Harry Potter movie!
Mine aswell
Same here
No it’s not
Nevil wearing suspenders and a vest over his pajamas is so on brand because one of the tips for school kids that have hectic mornings/wake up late/are just the most unlucky person on the planet and the world is against you getting to where you need to be on time is to dress or partially dress for the next day. I'm sure Nevil has been wearing this under his robes more than a few mornings, throw a robe over it and slip the tie a around the pajama collar and it's better than being late and possibly getting points deducted from your House.
Love the Eric Voss shoutout!
Great work Morgan. Few extra points: the actor voicing the shrunken head is Lenny Henry who was married to the fat lady Dawn French at the time. The television programme playing in the Dursley house was the generation game hosted by Jim Davison - he hosted between 1995 and 2001.
23:40 if the prophecy was about Neville I feel like if jk Rowling based this around Neville the movie “the prisoner of Azkaban” would be about Bellatrix instead of Sirius
Was just rewatching the first two of this series. Happy to see I was on time for the third!
Why did Fred and George never see a guy named Peter Pettigrew,next to Ron,while using the map in Hogwarts? Harry was present when his parents died,so why could he not see a thestral from the beginning?
There hundreds of students in Hogwarts and by the time Ron came to Hogwarts Fred and George had been in Hogwarts for 3 year and they got the marauders in 1st year so they had a good knowledge of the school.
I think you have to know that the person had died for it to work or to at least understand what death means. Harry was 1 year old so obviously hadn't a clue.
When will you do Easter Eggs for Goblet please I'm really looking forward to the rest as I rewatch every movie, and watch your reviews for every book/movie 🤩
I think the creature in hagrid hut is a flubberworm
but how? I thought flubberworms were small things in the books; unless there's a super evolved version of a flubberworm
Yes
@@neonjinn And are they illegal at all?
16:21 I also noticed that the owl might be a reference to Athena the Greek goddess of wisdom. We can also see Greek mythology references in fluffy, the centaurs and Argus filch so I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a reference aswell
It's crazy how much effort they put into these films 🥰🤩
Yet they still left out so much
@@seth9655 good point 😔
25:32 I think you mixed up the Clock Tower Courtyard with the Great Hall Courtyard (at least in the pictures), because 25:51 are pictures from the Great Hall Court Yard.
never clicked so fast! favorite book and movie, let’s go!
such an underrated book. most people favor the sixth, seventh and fourth, but the third is not on many top lists.
@@zaappz ikr
@@zaappzactually the 3rd is the most popular movie/book. there was a poll once done.
@@bookedbyalice7 based of the top lists i have seen it is heavily underrated.
Movieflame I just want to thank you for your hard work, you are very well spoken and you put so much thought behind your videos, you are one of my favorite youtube channels!!
Love the series!
@MovieFlame this is a great vid! I've waited forever for this lol
Cant remember the last time i was literally waiting for a show
Great video! Merry Christmas😇
I'm the type of guy who'd give any excuse to revisit these movies their so fun to watch
Love the fact you can make so many interesting projects based on 7 books/8 movies. Keep up that insane effort its very much appreciated and enjoyed.
Something I don't understand is do you need a wand to change into an animagi form. Later in the movie wormtail used a wand to transform. Or did Lupin or Sirius put a magical block on wormtails animagi form so he couldn't get away?
no, he took Remus's wand, then Harry disarmed him. After that is when he changed to his rat form
That other train looks like a Muggle one, what used to be GNER (Great North Eastern Railway) it looks like it's what used to be called an intercity 225 which was the replacement for the intercity 125 which got mentioned in this book when they arrived at the station, it was just pulling into platform 9
I never heard of the story of Fred turning Ron's bear into a spider, I really like that touch. It's been forever since I've read the books, is it somewhere in there or was that added in after the fact?
It’s in the book if I’m not mistaken. I can’t remember which however
Chamber of Secrets
iirc there was also some kind of story that one of the twins gave Ron an acid pop as a kid and it burned a hole in his tongue
I'm rewatching all the movies because I found somebody that finally Easter egged the whole series so thanks for doing this. Please keep it up
Sirius Black's escape is badass
Little Fun fact, the wizard reading Stephen Hawkings's book is Ian Brown, Vocalist of Stone Roses.
Also the set for the shrieking Shack actualy have the second floor hinged to wave back and forth, a detail you can notice in the movie's climax as several things move back and forth inside of it. And throughout the time travel scenes, you can hear a soft ticking noise in the background.
In the credits you can see "Nicholas Flamel" written among the many scribbles that make the walls of the castle in the map (this is seriously my favourite detail from the movie, how the map makes the walls all of scribbled words like ancient text)
And regarding Time Travel, if we cound the.... ugh... Cursed Child as canon... the three different versions of Harry potter (Book, Movie and Play) tackled the three styles of Time Travel:
1 - Actions in the past rewrite the future - Book
2 - Nothing is changed, all is part of an endless loop, also known as the Bootstrap Paradox - Movie
3 - Changes in the Past creates alternate timelines that dont necessarily replace one another - Cursed Child.
And thats actualy the best part of the movie to me, because we see foreshadowing of their time travel and how in fact, they changed nothing, everything was already set in motion, we just saw through different perspectives. Plus it solves the problem "why not solve your issues with time travel?" because in the movie canon, timetravel changes nothing, all is set in stone and timetravels are just part of the one and only event that unfolds.
I really wish more people realize this! The endless loop is one of my favorite changes between the books and movies, it just makes sense, even Rowling acknowledges it
Side note that most of the Wizarding world money that is in harry potter vult is a gift from one of his godfather sirus blacks family members witch was a gift originally ment for sirus black but was later given to harry
37:16 Fun Fact: During this scene in the film, when the camera is fully zoomed out, if you look to the right of the screen, you will see a small little Thomas the Tank Engine going around a track pulling coaches 😂
Lupin became a lot cooler after he played big band jazz in class.
Tyvm.... its always good to interact with someone who is just as crazy potterhead as me
You can hear low howling, foreshadowing Sirius while the WB logo pops up at the very start of the movie
35:50 Boston is also a place in England! - a brilliant video as always though :)
I actually thought that Harry could see thestrals because I thought he saw his parents die as a baby, not because of Cedric until I discovered it a few weeks ago. Still don't know if Harry saw his parents die or not..
you have to not only see someone die but also process the loss and what you have seen, so seeing someone die as a baby probably didn't count.
So... wait, why did you think he couldn't see them in the first 2 years then, and that it was such a big deal he could finally see them in the 3rd book?
Didn't that confuse you?
What I don’t understand is why professor mccgonogal gave hermaine the time turner in the first place, and what didn’t snape turn in Harry for attacking him.
I was waiting for you to point out the scene where Ron and Hermione are looking at the shack and Malfoy was like “looking for your dream home?” As if implying they’re a couple looking for a house which he was actually spot on about😅
Malfoy really is a good match maker!!
Wasn't Snape knocked out in the scene where Remus transforms?
Aye
