    I think my favorite story about the actors is when a Director assigned them homework. They had to write an essay in character. Daniel Radcliff wrote like half a page, Emma Watson wrote like a dozen pages with very good handwriting, and Rupert didn't bother to do it. They understood the assignment.

    The different houses represent different characteristics. Gryffindors are brave, they help others and are chivalrous. The Ravenclaws are intelligent, they prize knowledge, and have wit. the Hufflepuffs are hard working, loyal, and trustworthy. Slytherins are cunning, ambitious, and resourceful. Harry has a personality that fits both Slytherin and Gryffindor but he wants Gryffindor so that’s where the hat puts him.
    Also, not really a spoiler since I’m sure you’ve caught onto this. But Hermione is really intellectual and easily could be Ravenclaw. Ron is very loyal and trustworthy, and could be a Hufflepuff. And Harry’s ambition to do well in this new world he’s in and prove himself would fit well with Slytherin. So they’re all in Gryffindor but they also embody the other 3 houses.

    I’m late to this party, but I really appreciate that you noticed how Gryffindor won because Dumbledore gave back the points they lost helping Hagrid. He wasn’t showing outrageous favoritism like lots of people think. He really only gave 20 points- ten to Harry for bravery, and 10 to Neville for doing the right thing. Very reasonable I think! And I love how it’s was Neville’s points that won the cup. 😊

With this being a kids movie, with a lot of child actors, I'd hate to find out, if their working conditions weren't how the should've been, like working more hours than allowed per day, or even some days, not having enough brakes during filming, or not having access to a psycologist on set, not one for each actor, but just a single one resposible for anything wanted to talk about. These are just the main things being talked about here in Denmark, I don't know the rules in other countries of course.

    Oscar, to answer your question about the differences between houses without spoiling anything, here's what the Sorting Hat itself says about them in the first book: "You might belong in Gryffindor,
    Where dwell the brave at heart,
    Their daring, nerve and chivalry,
    Set Gryffindors apart;
    You might belong in Hufflepuff
    Where they are just and loyal,
    Those patient Hufflepuffs are true,
    And unafraid of toil;
    Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
    If you've a ready mind,
    Where those of wit and learning,
    Will always find their kind;
    Or perhaps in Slytherin,
    You'll make your real friends,
    Those cunning folk use any means,
    To achieve their ends."

    so for quidditch 10 points are gained with each goal scored and the snitch give 150 points to the team that catches it and ends the game so if the score was 200 to 40 the team behind would want to wait till they had 60 and then catch the snitch otherwise the score would be 200 to 190, basically there are more tactics to it for both sides

      It’s so rare to see an reactor who has practically no significant knowledge of the story! It’s great to see you discover it as we did with the books. The world J.K Rowling created for her children is more fantastic and complex as you could imagine yet. The story grows with the characters as well as with the little actors which is absolutely unique and that’s the reason why these books and films are loved by children and adults.
      The adult cast of the series includes the crème de la crème of British actors at the time.
      As scary and dominant and unfair the great Alan Rickman is as Snape he was actually a very kind and gentle man in real life and it was a strike of genius in casting him for this role (he was the one Rowlings wanted from the beginning) and the movies would not have worked the way they did and still do without him. The whole cast is stunning and could not possibly be better.
      You are up to a amazing journey.

    Yes! My favorite movie series. Wizards have different money from muggles. The gold galleons are huge coins. Then there are silver sickles and bronze knuts.
    If you're talking about Ron being arrogant you couldn't be further from they truth. Ron has a *huge* inferiority complex because his family is on the poorer side and he has 5 older brothers who have done everything well. There's another reason his family is looked down on but that's for next movie. Also judge his true character by the books not the movies because they gave his best stuff to Hermione.
    Hermione is smart and good at spells because she's talented and studies..a lot..an ahead of everyone else. It's also because the screenwriter admitted that he deliberately boosted Hermione's character because he liked her better than the boys..even the hero. He deliberately left out the part where Hermione tends to freeze or overthink everything in the face of danger.
    Out of all of the trio I'm the most like Hermione. 😁

      There are so many "Christian" themes in HP in terms of personal values, chiefly among them the power of sacrificial love.
      The real reason conservatives avoid HP is that the movies teach a lot of *liberal* values: rejecting caste-based bigotry, accepting others for who they are, standing against authority figures when they are in the wrong, etc.

    I first read the books when I was 8 years old (back then I think there were only 2 or 3 out) and I've reread them every year of my life. I'm 30 now! How I relate to the story has changed as I've grown, continually seeing it with new eyes. I think it was quite formative in how I came to see the world growing up - always with my head in the clouds, appreciating creativity and imagination but my feet on the ground, believing that standing up for what's right is a moral imperative and that the best way to interact with the world is with love and kindness.
    As loyal as these movies are to the books, they have to cut out more and more as the movies go on. I highly recommend you read the series!

It really is worth the hours! Please react to the whole series, you will not be disappointed. Loved your reaction though! You nailed the ending pretty well.

    I'm stoked to see you're starting Harry Potter. Its a great series, and something I've always considered tied to Christmas time. Probably because I "discovered" it around the holidays, or maybe its the music, I'm not sure lol. Anyway, Ive seen enough of your reactions to feel pretty confident that youre going to absolutely love the whole series. The world building only continues, the emotional ties to the characters grows ever stronger, and it's just a fantastic ride.

    • @nobleconsejera5278
      @nobleconsejera5278 Před 9 měsíci +1

      Well, it makes a lot of sense that you relate the Harry Potter franchise with Christmas, and you’re not the only one. Me too, for example, for a couple of reasons:
      First, because the dates when these films were casted on cinemas were always very close to Christmas time.
      Second, because if you pay attention, you’ll notice that Christmas is at some point present in every film :)

    • @chewyah
      @chewyah Před 7 měsíci +1

      I link it to Christmas too! I'm not sure where you're from, but here in England (and I'm guessing the rest of the uk too) a couple of the major TV channels will broadcast the movies in the week(s) coming up to Christmas, it was the only time I could see them because we couldn't afford the fancy movie tv channels and didn't own a dvd or vhs tape player so that's why it's a "Christmas" film to me :)

    This movie was the most faithful to the books but a lot of things got sped up because of the details- so some things that may have confused you were better explained in the book- the houses for example, would be unknown to muggle born children or Harry so the sorting hat sings a song before they put it on and it tells them which qualities it looks for in each house so they cut out a funny bit from the book (Harry was so nervous that he wondered if there was a house for kids who felt queasy) 😂 and Quidditch was explained in further detail but I didn’t understand it until I watched the movie 😅😅😅

      Generally speaking I'm pro religion, and even more so pro spirituality. That said the last time I checked they celebrate Christmas at Hogwarts. Also pretty sure people who 'practice' witch craft in real life are basically nature worshipers...they don't use wands and perform real magic. Its a story of good versus evil meant for entertainment and nothing more. The people who try to use religion to go after these books and movies are just narrow minded and small people looking for attention. Slavery still exists today on the planet, there are people starving, there is homelessness...and drug addiction, (real evils) and these clowns are wasting their time whining about Harry Potter. Blows the mind.

    • @scottswenson383
      @scottswenson383 Před 9 měsíci +5

      Need some work on the reading comprehension here. I'm not 'whining' about religious people. As I said I am pro religion and pro spirituality and generally speaking I consider myself a pretty spiritual person. I don't see this as a religious issue at all. This is a 'type of person' problem. In fact I would argue that the vast majority of religious people don't have an issue with the Harry Potter books and movies for 'religious' reasons. Just a very vocal minority. So trying to lecture me for judging an entire group of people isn't a very good argument. I'm not doing that. I simply pointed out the narrow mindedness of a very small group of ignorant and narrow minded people. In the same way there is a small vocal group of people who attack JK Rowling endlessly on Twitter, and who recently failed miserably to boycott the Hogwarts Legacy video game. They failed for the same reason the other group has failed...because 99% or more of the rest of don't agree. For the most part both groups are little more than morally crusading zealots who are just on the opposite side of the coin. As I often say, when your politics become your religion, or your religion becomes your politics it isn't a good thing. Calling out how ridiculous all of this is doesn't make one a zealot as well...its more akin to looking at a flat earther and rolling your eyes and shaking your head.

    When i read the last book I cried so much, ive never cried so much whilst trying to read. I was in the same age as these characters when this first book came out. My mother read most of them to me and my little brother, but the last ones we read on our own. Im glad I'm part of that generation. And yeah Snape is the most mysterious character and you can't help but love his bitter way of expressing himself.

    I just happened to come across your channel and thought to see what your reaction would be to this movie. All of those child actors did wonderfully for this first movie all the way through the last one. Yes, you saw it correctly Severus Snape was saving Harry Potter's life at the Quidditch match. There are a lot of mind-blowing twists throughout the series. This movie is more storybook telling, the rest of the films get darker as they go. The child actors picked up on tips from the adult actors too, once they realized who they were. Alan Rickman as Professor Snape is spot on when he delivers his lines in the movies! I do hope you do continue with the series. You'll won't be sorry. I am glad you loved this movie! I enjoyed your reaction. I'm off to see your 2nd reaction now. Peace!

    I have such good memories of these books. I remember working in a pediatrician's office in my twenties and one of the kids left his book during an appointment. I went to return it to him next time and his mom had bought him another copy already since it was so popular. I brought it home and my mom asked to read it, then raved about it. She was into all sorts of fiction, so when she gave this book a glowing endorsement, I knew it must be good. I read it and all the subsequent books, getting caught up in the fervor around them.
    I was so excited to see the movies, and although they were well done, the books are so much better. This was the first movie for most of the main child actors. Still, I did enjoy the movies, but they came out the same time as the Lord of the Rings (which I had never read), and though I saw Harry Potter once in the theatre, I saw the first LOTR six or seven times in the theatre.
    I am glad you like them, Oscar, but you should consider reading the books one day. They are far more satisfying!

Daniel Radcliff who plays Harry Potter was the only one of the three with any acting experience before this. I think considering that they did a good job and as the series goes on they all get much better. It is also fun to see some of the best English actors around show up in these movies. Of course you like Snape. You can’t help but like anything that Allen Rickman does.

    Just found your channel and loved seeing your reaction to this. I’m Christian, grew up Christian, and I watched this when I was a kid with my parents shortly after it came out. We all fell in love with it and I grew up with Harry Potter. In school, I remember being called a devil worshipper - by the other kids and even the pastor’s wife - and told that I was going to go to hell. I didn’t care. The movies aren’t about supporting devils or evil or black magic. They’re about friendship and loyalty and sacrifice and, above all else, love.
    Also, as somewhat of an aside: I’m still rather miffed at how they changed Ron’s character from the books. He’s very clever in his own way and is street smart about the wizarding world, having grown up there. Hermione’s book smart, but prone to freezing in critical moments, and they gave some of Ron’s best lines/actions to her. In the Devil’s Snare trap, it was Ron who remained calm and Hermione who panicked:
    "Devil's Snare, Devil's Snare ... What did Professor Sprout say? It likes the dark and the damp-"
    "So light a fire!" Harry choked.
    "Yes - of course - but there's no wood!" Hermione cried, wringing her hands.
    "HAVE YOU GONE MAD?" Ron bellowed. "ARE YOU A WITCH OR NOT?"
    "Oh, right!" said Hermione.
    Also, also: Yay, someone else who likes Alan Rickman (Snape)! He was the best Snape. ❤
