- Time to embark on the Harry Potter journey!
Badd Medicine here and its Harry Potter reaction time! This was voted on by our Patreons! Just beat out the Hobbit movies as we just completed the Lord of the Rings. Now we get to see what Harry Potter is all about. And gotta say, this first one was very kid friendly more so than adult. Which is good to see. We have heard it does get darker as they go on which we are looking forward to. Harry Potter the character is an interesting one. Fun to see he had no clue of what his potential was and then boom! He took off like you would expect him to with his quick learnings. Crazy to see how young everyone is here in the first Harry Potter. A lot of people have mentioned to check out the Harry Potter Books. So we may have to after these movie reactions are completed.

#HarryPotter #SorcerersStone - Zábava
Fun fact: common misconception is that if you catch the snitch you WIN. But catching the snitch just ENDS the game and is worth 150 points. But if you catch the snitch and the other team still has more points than you with the +150 then THEY win.
About Ron Weasley and what he saw in the mirror, since that won't get 'explained' until further in the series... he's the second-youngest child of 7, and the youngest boy. His oldest brother is basically Indiana Jones/Lara Croft. Another brother works handling dragons. The third one is the smartest, think straight A student. I think all of them were really good at school. And the twins are smart in their own way and know how to get attention and being well-liked despite (or because) of their pranking nature. His little sister is also the only girl (and youngest kid) in the family. So it's less about superficial wishes as him wanting to stand out, too, and being acknowledged. It's a big part of his character in the series. He's basically very insecure about him being the least important child.
Wow I never knew this
I think I also remember that Molly (his mother) wanted a girl after all the boys she's had, but she got Ron. Which also adds to the need to prove himself. Though I'm not entirely sure about this since it's been a long time when I read the books.
So he has already had all these insecurities due to his place in the family. Then he comes to school and becomes best friends with Hermione who is the smartest kid in school, and The Harry Potter. Harry the most famous wizard, the boy who lived, the only first year to get on the Quidditch
Ya this was in his book introduction. I was actually going to comment the same thing lol
@@ruud9761 Yes, it was revealed to him very young (probably teasing from 1 of the older brothers) that he literally wouldn't have been born if the parents weren't trying for a girl, since the parents were more than happy with 5 kids, it's just none had been girls. If his mom hadn't dreamed of having a daughter to do girly things with so strongly they would've stopped at 5. And then when you see that the sister is only 1 year younger, it's obvious they immediately got pregnant again, trying for a girl again. Poor Ron felt that he was literally the unwanted child! Because he was just average at everything when the older boys were standouts & his sister was the baby plus only girl & got all that attention, he was never made to feel special & instead was always just part of the crowd. He was only just "one of the Weasleys".
The story gets progressively more mature, it ages with the actors perfectly, you'll love it.
I grow up with this movies and my life got darker with years like this movies..
It even has that weird 14-15 age that was weirdly excluded from the book, but almost painfully plain in the movie version of Goblet
Even though it's only 10 points, I appreciate that Neville's points win them the house cup. Because standing up to your friends when you think they are doing something wrong can be incredibly challenging, and takes a great deal of bravery and strength.
Never thought that watching 3 grown, tough dudes reacting to Harry Potter would be so much fun!
Just keep in mind that the books get significant darker. And there's a reason why the movies and the films created such a cult following. I hope you guys will enjoy the journey. I always love when people react to Harry Potter.
The reason Dumbledore left Harry with the Dursley’s is not just because they’re his only family. It’s because Lily’s love shield extended to them and their house. Even though they were mean to him, they were still protected along with him.
really???
I also believed living with his mean family helped shaped harry into who he needed to be. If he spent all his time since birth in the wizard world he would have grown up different and it would have shaped his personality and good nature.
@@cesmochaccino Yes. I don't remember if it's explained in detail in the books, but it has something to do with the fact that Petunia is Lily's sister and they share blood. As long as Harry is on Privet Drive, Voldemort can't touch him. That's why it's important to remember that, as bad as it is, Petunia knew that if she kicked Harry out of the house, she was condemning him to death, and she never did.
@@MattSamma Yeah, a deleted scene from DH part 1 was Petunia and Harry having one last talk, with Petunia saying that, while he lost a mother, she lost her sister, further showing that deep down, she still loved her sister, and perhaps having Harry, her son and the sole thing left of Lily, she would be constantly reminded Lily is dead
@@chrisdiokno5600I'm still mad they didn't leave this scene in. It's so important, along with Dudley's apology to Harry.
Funny detail I noticed rewatching these reactions again!
TheOak: "I'm not gonna make a point of watching this again but this is why it's popular."
Also TheOak when he finished all 7 movies: rewatches the whole series
Four books had been published by the time the first movie was released. The author had planned 7 books. All of the adult actors had to commit to 7 movies when they signed on.
@@Karlach_ I believe the fourth one just dropped around the release of the movie.
And JKR only told alan rickman his whole storyline from the beginning
@@Xbk677I love hearing that story being retold.
Yes, back then we even had to wait for the new books to come outnot only for the movies.
@@HalbamGoblet of Fire came out at the beginning of 2000. I definitely read that under the table at school. And the first HP movie came out November 2001. The fifth book came out in 2003.
I enjoyed your reaction and how open minded you were. Don't worry, it gets darker as they get older I'm sure by the end you will love the journey. I'll be watching alongside you! Keep going 💜
Thank you and thanks for watching. Looking forward to seeing how these progress.
Number three onwards starts getting soooo good !!
Yes, the photography gets so dark, you can barely see anything.
JK Rowling wrote each book to make them 1 year older each time and each one gets darker. By the time of the last book whete they are adults its basically really F$%^&ing dark. That may seem trite now after watching the first one but just wait. Also, I'mm 55 now and saw there when I was 32 - I never uderstood how people said they were 'children's books' when they hadn't read them. Just like Snape in this kovie, things aren't what they seem.
@@BaddMedicine yeah the first couple are good but are def for kids it will be interesting to see ur opinions as they become less cheeky and childish
Coming back to rewatch their reactions to all the Harry Potter movies is like a comfort thing for me now. I laugh every time I watch Oak struggle with this one 😂
Moving stairs: a lot of the objects in Hogwarts have been exposed to so much magic they have taken on some amount of consciousness - the stairs move because they want to. Sometimes they are helpful and assist students getting to class more quickly, sometimes they are mischievous and send people to the wrong places.
Which begs the question: Was the school itself helping Harry and his friends, like a certain room later on?
@@cosesu8929 excellent point!
Kinda like peeves even though not in the movies he embodies the kids mischievousness
Rowena Ravenclaw invented the moving staircases. They are also a defensiv method in case of an emergency they are supposed to lead the Students to safety and the enemies in circles 📚📚📚
Didn't the books say something like "some stairs lead somewhereelse on some days"? I could have sworn it's never explicitly said that they literally move... 😅
Being the same age as the actors were when these films first came out and watching them in theaters was so cool feeling like I grew up with them. These films really do hold a special place in my heart
Same!!! And the books! It’s all very nostalgic for a simpler time lol
I was waiting for my letter...i was the same age with Harry....never received one...accepted my muggle destiny...
Same. It was such a gift, still is in a way thanks to Tom Felton's unyielding love of Potter lol
Yess same here!!👌💯
Now that you mention it, I always felt the same but never really put any thought into it specifically.
41:53 There is indeed more in the book. For example, in this particular part of the book there's actually a potion riddle that needs to be solved after the chess board. Hermione came with and helped solve it. I'd also like to point out that the movies make changes to Hermione and Ron. Changes that I don't like. Book Hermione is way more relatable. Movie Ron, while still likable, really increased my appreciation of book Ron.
Also, in the books, Hermione is the one who panics a bit with Devil's Snare, not Ron. In fact, and I quote: “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?”
One thing that i love about the harry potter books is that, even though they are a fantasy series, they are also all mystery novels at their core. Sadly the movies simply didn't have enough time to be able to develop the mysteries as much as they were in the books.
Quinn saying "all this time" at 42:14.... foreshadowing but he doesn't even know it! ❤️
Hahaha great call out. Oh did they get us!
In the books, the Sorting Hat sings a new song every year - this is one of them that pretty much explains hogwarts and the sorting:
“A thousand years or more ago
When I was newly sewn,
There lived four wizards of renown,
Whose names are still well known:
Bold Gryffindor, from wild moor,
Fair Ravenclaw, from glen,
Sweet Hufflepuff, from valley broad,
Shrewd Slytherin, from fen.
They shared a wish, a hope, a dream,
They hatched a daring plan
To educate young sorcerers
Thus Hogwarts School began.
Now each of these four founders
Formed their own house, for each
Did value different virtues
In the ones they had to teach.
By Gryffindor, the bravest were
Prized far beyond the rest;
For Ravenclaw, the cleverest
Would always be the best;
For Hufflepuff, hard workers were
Most worthy of admission;
And power-hungry Slytherin
Loved those of great ambition.
While still alive they did divide
Their favourites from the throng,
Yet how to pick the worthy ones
When they were dead and gone?
Twas Gryffindor who found the way,
He whipped me off his head
The founders put some brains in me
So I could choose instead!
Now slip me snug about your ears,
I've never yet been wrong,
I'll have a look inside your mind
And tell where you belong!”
The staircases change because the castle is implied to be so large that there are many corridors and hallways that the only way to get to them without the magical stairs would be to have 4 main staircases lol. They dont really show that in the movies though. Just remember hogwarts is basically a labyrinth with 1 grand staircase😂
41:10 in the books, they actually had to take the place of the pieces, so when Harry, Ron and Hermione decided to play as bishop, knight and rook, those pieces, walked off the board and they stood in, so Ron actually got knocked out
I find it funny how the movie also left out the part where they had to leave Ron in that state, otherwise they would never have been able to get past Snape’s logic puzzle.
While they did well portraying the final battle I do wish they hadn’t left some parts out of it and I wish they didn’t take so much away from Ron. The logic puzzle gave so much to Hermione they could’ve had it in there so they wouldn’t have had to take Ron to such idiotic levels of comic relief.
@@liamhamilton9086 To be fair, Hermione already gets tons of credit in the movies.
@@zeallust8542 Some of the credit which should go to Ron. I've read the producer just didn't like the Weasleys for some reason.
@@marshallpeters7174 Yeah, Ron def got shafted a lot.
The first thing Snape asks Harry is “Potter! What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?” According to Victorian Flower Language, asphodel is a type of lily meaning ‘My regrets follow you to the grave’ and wormwood means ‘absence’ and also typically symbolised bitter sorrow. If you combined that, it meant ‘I bitterly regret Lily’s death’.
I never knew this. I love how even after soo many years I can still find out things like this. This is genius!
@@criss445 that’s because it’s not true. It’s headcannon. The author said Snape was just trying to embarrass Harry, that’s all.
Basically means I'm the reason you are an orphan
@@beverlyarcher546you could blame Sirius as much as Snape by that logic
I studied Folklore and Cultural Studies at university guess how I felt when one of the professors showed us a bezoar and we learned that people acutally believed it helps against poison (The class was about cultural meanings of animals. In this case goats).
One thing I like about the movies now being older is there are little details I can pick up on in the background of scenes. Perfect example being when Harry sees Snape and his scar hurts, Quorrell is right next to Snape and when Snape notices Harry's reaction he looks to his side over to him.
I've literally watched these over 100 times and I've never noticed that. Or at least if I have, it was a while ago and I dont remember
Was Nevilles broom cursed too when it started to fly off? I forgot how that happened
@@LOVEanneLOVE Neville and other students have a broom flying class as a part of the wizarding school curriculum. So during class, they practice on the school brooms, these brooms can be old and wonky. Neville unfortunately ends up with a messed up, old broom, which also depicts Neville’s character/story line, that he always got the short end of a stick and was always either losing his toad or making a fool of himself(in his words)
@@tainasouza3236 his grandma bought him a new wand. that's why he became better
@@tamigolic6805 he got the new wand after the ministry fight
Just bear in mind the books and movies were designed for an audience more or less the same age as Harry. So as the series goes on the story events and themes grow more adult. If you guys know any 12 year olds try to imagine the thrill they get from the movie. I was lucky enough to have kids at just the right age to anticipate and enjoy the series.
Shoutout to all the book fans who lined up at midnight for books 5-7. It was agony and exctasy, especially the 7th. My grandmother made it a point to live long enough to finish the series, then passed shortly. It really was torture waiting, wondering.
Exacrly because the content of each of those books was supposed to be Top Secret but some rumors about it slipped anyway. At the time the 5th came out we didn't even know the titles of the next two books.
The bookstore near my school opened at 7am (normally 10am) on every Harry Potter release date. I’d line up at 6am because I always made an advanced reservation to make sure I get one. I think the fact that they opened 3 hours earlier made the lines shorter. Still, I remember how crowded it got inside the bookstore and people making a mad dash for the shelves. Fortunately, I just went to the reservation counter to pick up my book. There was a line there, too but not as long since people could pick them up anytime. How nostalgic!
One thing that has bothered me about how they did quidditch in the movie is they say they win if the seeker catches the snitch. In the book it’s whichever seeker catches the snitch wins 150 points and ends the game, meaning you can still lose even though your team caught the snitch. Hope that made sense
It helps🤙👍 much appreciated 👍
They actually didn't say that whoever catches the snitch wins. They said it will end the game but didn't explain the rules thoroughly.
In a single game, the snitch basiclly wins you the game, but in championships, the winner is determined by points, so is you catch the snitch immediately at the start of every single game, youd get 150 points per game, but another team who won less games, but scores more goals, can still pass you in points.
@ “you catch this Potter, and we win”
While it is possible to still lose after catching the snitch it's very unlikely so in the vast majority of matches catching the snitch wins the game
i LOVEEEE seeing people go from
"idk if I will like harry potter" to being obsessed with it 😂😂😂
because i as well thought i would not like it, now i LOVE this series
😁🤘
Alan Rickman was the only actor who the JK Rowling told the Snape story even when some books were not written yet.
Interesting
That's the only reason why he accepted the role, he wasn't sure but JK really wanted him for it so she told him that to convince him
@@jrlombardi5251 According to his memoirs, released posthumously just a few years ago, she actually didn't tell him until between filming movies because he was considering leaving. He didn't feel as though his character had any room for growth or development, so she told him the meaning of "Always," and told him to use it however he saw fit in his performance going forward.
I'm here rewatching the HP reactions just to see Oak's journey from "eeh.. it's not for me 😑" to "lumos!! expecto patronum! 🧹✨ 🧙
😂😂😂
The food thing isn't addressed in the movies, but if you're still wondering, it's all prepared and magicked onto the tables by house elves - essentially voluntary slave labour. It becomes a plot point in the fourth book but is completely absent from the movies.
It's not voluntary. In most cases its enforced by magic.
But in the seventh book it is established that it is impossible summon food. You can cook iwth magic of course or make more of it if you have some but you can't summon it.
@@sawanna508 You can't create it. You can move it just like any object. Theoretically when Dumbledore waves his wand and makes a chair to sit down in he's creating it, not summong it.
My dad was the same way when the books came out. He's a huge fantasy guy but wasn't going to read them because they were kids books. This was before any of the movies came out so only a few of the books were out. He made fun of his friend reading them. Then my cousin was having trouble reading, has dyslexia, and so my dad was like okay we'll read them together. We'll read up to a certain point by a certain day and talk about it. Then he got to the part where the letters flooded the house and he was hooked. He took off and left my cousin in the dust. Then when he was getting to the end of the first book and the characters were pointing out 'clues' from earlier, my dad was like no way. I would've caught that. And then looked back and was like it's really all there for you to try to figure out. He now reads them every year. He was at the midnight release of the 7th book. He had to get two copies for him and my mom because they couldn't wait for the other to finish it first. Apparently they stayed up into the early hours of the morning to read it. My cousin never finished the first book.
The snitch is worth 150 points if you catch it. Catching it ends the game. In most cases it means your team wins but if the other team is ahead enough you might not win even if you do catch it. Like I said though, most times you do win.
I think you'll guys like it more as the series goes on. There are many people who watch this for the first time and don't really like the first movie because it is a kids movie and then after they watch all of them have a new outlook on the first. I think you'll guys like the second movie but I think once you hit the third one you'll all just love the movies as you continue.
We just recorded number 3 and it was fantastic! Looking forward to the rest of them.
Your dad sounds awesome :)
@@Always-fd7pk He is! He loves going to universal and wearing his robe and using his wand. He was traveling to florida for work one year and got an annual pass and would go by himself with his robe. When we've gone on vacation there, he wears it everyday, all day. I don't know how considering it's like 100 degrees out in the summer, but he does.
Thanks for sharing his story, was lovely reading it, I like the way you write. 💛✨
@@briannalowery844 that's so fun! I got myself Snape's wand at universal but will have to snag a robe one day. Have you guys gone to knock turn alley? It was hilarious, my cashier was in character being "rude" and I played along all sweetly and she ended the interaction by throwing my cash on the floor 😂 If I go again I'll have to bring out my inner slytherin
My CZcams feed is 95% Harry Potter reactions at this point because rewatching the series alone just isn’t enough and it never gets old watching people get into it completely blind because all the reactions and discoveries and excitement and wonder is so genuine and it makes my days and nights better. Also, every reactor that has delved into this series ends up wanting to read the books. There is a whole heap of good moments and plot details and important little tidbits that never made it into the films that actually make some of the films make more sense story wise. So I would definitely recommend the books as well. subbing now so I can follow your potterhead journey. 😄
Hell yeah, Dylan! Thanks for watching and the sub. We appreciate it 🤘
Same
I subscribed for the same reason. Great fun to watch their reactions.
Thank you! Much appreciated 👍
Thank you! Much appreciated 👍
Hearing you guys commited to calling Snape Hans is actually exciting, because with how diverse and up and down his character development is I KNOW for a fact you will be calling him snape by the end. so it makes it fun to see when that transition happens. haha
I hope it happens soon!
I was 11 when I saw this in theaters after reading the first three books. I grew up with the actors and movies, so they hold a special place in my heart.
Yeah same, I was just about to turn 12 (like it was close enough that watching it was my early birthday celebration).
I take great pride in telling people book 1 came out when I was 11. And then one year apart afterwards. So me and Harry were the same age for the first 3 books. Special bond!
Same! But I watched the movie first and then read the books
To answer the question of why he was sent to such an abusive home.
When harry's mum sacrificed herself to save harry it protected him from voldemort it also activated a magic that would protect him from voldemort as long as he is living with blood relatives and these are his only living blood relatives
I remember Tom Felton's reaction to his 1st scene in this movie, he was so embarrassed of himself, he kept hiding his face and blushing. >< It's crazy to think that these movies have been around with us for 20 years. One of the best parts of my childhood, and beyond.
If you were pleasantly surprised with this first movie I can't imagine how your going to feel about the other ones!!!
We just recorded number 4 last night and that was wild
@@BaddMedicine I'm really happy to hear your excitement!
When the author, JK Rowling wrote the first book she asked the publishing company how they felt about her writing 7 books. When the producers of the movie approached her about the films she told them that there will be 7 books. She had a huge hand on the writing of the films. They had to check in with JK Rowling. And every now and then she told them what was OK for the films and what they did wrong because it contradicted and conflicted with what was going to happen later in the future books. 📚🖋
BTW, there are 8 Harry Potter films. The last book was divided into two parts for the movies. 🎬🎞🎥📽
As a kid I was never a big fan of these movies, but I really like them now that im older.
Im a pretty big fan for the series now
Oh THIS, is gonna be one hell of a series (if that's the plan), so much growth and world building here. Things get a good bit darker as the series progresses, and I think you guys will enjoy the journey quite a bit! Cheers!
Definitely is the plan. All 8! 🤙🤘
@@BaddMedicine and im assuming you'll probly do the Prequel after "Fantastic Beasts"
fun fact: the slytherin dorms are in the dungeon where the troll is supposed to be. so dumbledore basically sent slytherins into danger by sending them back to the dorms. (Technically also the Hufflepuff dorms I think, but they're not in as deep)
Can I be honest here? I love you three guys and your reactions to Harry Potter. When you three laughed at Harry saying "Troll bogies," I died laughing.
😂😂😂🤙🤙🤙
Great reaction, guys! I'm looking forward to watching you go through the rest of this series. ^_^
One thing to keep in mind about the movies versus the books is that, because of the nature of what can be allowed in film compared with writing, especially in something geared toward children and involving children, is that the books tend to be more brutal, graphic, hardcore, etc. than what you end up seeing in the movies. As an example, in this movie, when Ron sacrifices himself in the chess game, the queen explodes the horse he's on and he just kind of falls off and gets hit with a little debris. In the book, he is just walking on his own (no horse), so when the queen attacks him, she bashes him across the head, severely injuring him and knocking him unconscious. I'm guessing, for a kids' movie, the makers didn't want (or just plain couldn't) show that level of brutality against a child.
Thank you and thanks for watching. Thanks for the tidbits here.
I was the same age as Harry when the movie came out. I grew up with this series. The movies get darker and better. The Wizarding world is biiiig and you will be learning more and more about as you go. Great reaction guys!
Thank you! We recorded number 3 and that was fantastic.
Okay! About the Ron and the mirror. It wasn’t that he wanted to be famous, it was that he wanted to feel important because he was the youngest of 6 brothers who has all done everything before him, his sister was the only and youngest so she got special attention. And his best friend is the most important wizard in their world. He felt insignificant so what he most desired was the need to feel important and special.
"mr no-nose, right?" lmao i love that that's his legacy
i saw this movie in theaters when i was 10 years old with my dad. during the forest scene he had to go to the bathroom and left me in the theater by myself and i haven't let him live it down since!!
and yes, i rewatch this all the time especially the first one. there's something incredibly comforting about this one specifically and it helps me when i'm feeling anxious. i ALSO love rewatching lotr as well! especially during the winter time when i'm warm and cozy in my bed.
So glad you guys love Alan Rickman. You'll be rewarded for that I promise! Snape is a fab character.
Haha! Yes!
@@Scrille4112 that's a big spoiler
@@Scrille4112 are you frigging serious throwing probably one of the biggest spoilers in recent movie history around with no warning? Shame on you. You must be that one person that everyone hates watching movies with, because you can't keep your mouth shut long enough for everyone else to enjoy the plot and twists for themselves.
@@Scrille4112 no spoilers
@@Scrille4112 pls throw a warning before dropping a spoiler
I adore that you call alan rickman “hans”. It makes me very happy.
Lol... He will always be Hans 😂🤙
@@BaddMedicine Hard to believe that Die Hard was Rickman's first movie. He's perfect in it.
Fantastic villain!
@@jainthorne4136 wasn’t he like an architect before he decided to pursue acting?!? And he was def in his 40’s. So good for him for having the courage to do what he really wanted to do. And we are blessed by his voice and performance.
It's almost as funny as fellow reactor "Mr.Video" watching GoT and calling Tyrion Lannister "Tyrone"...
10 moths later, he still has a Gryffindor scarf around his mic
Always!
34:57 First time watching the American version, and I genuinely can’t believe they re-recorded it/recorded two versions where the characters say ‘Sorcerer’s’ instead of ‘Philosopher’s’ every time
I know that because of a German content creator called "Coldmirror", who made the so-called "Harry Podcast" (German language) where she talks about 5 minutes picture by picture of the first movie. In one part she tells (and shows) about the script where it was specially written in "and for the US audience" to reshoot the scene with different phrasing
About the moving stairs....I think what first time watchers always forget/miss is that these are not normal children. They are young witches and wizards and are there to learn to expand and control their powers. Things that would be crazy in a school with normal children are nothing more than challenges for the children at Hogwarts to learn how to master the unusual. In learning to think and deal with the unexpected, they grow into their powers. I'm enjoyed your reactions and yes, the books get darker and darker. One of the brilliant ideas that J K Rowling came up with is that the books increase in vocabulary and complexity with each book. So, you can give a child the first book to read and it hooks them into the world so as they progress from book to book, they also increase their own reading and comprehension skills. Also, JK Rowling was not finished writing the books when this movie was filmed but she had already revealed how many books would be in the series. Four of the seven books were already out. JK Rowling did know the entire arch of the series and it's been said that she talked to Alan Rickman and told him a bit about his character's development when he expressed doubts about playing Snape. Btw....I love that you call him Hans. Love Die Hard, too so it makes sense to me.
Great stuff here. Lol.... I'm sure but the end of HP we'll call him Snape 🤣👍
Because Petunia is his blood aunt and the sacrifice his mom made it created a kinda magical protection, that is why he goes back to the Dursleys.
Thank you for this
@@BaddMedicine and not a spoiler since it's only explained in the books.
The sacrifice his mum made didnt make that protection with Petunia though. Dumbledore did a bond of blood charm and sealed it using Petunia.
@@denizkenger52 That's just fanon, not canon. Canonically, all we know is that the sacrifice protects Harry, so as long as he calls his home with Petunia or Dudley (because they share Lily's blood), he'd stay protected. Well, until 17 at least lol.
@@Kiterou no its not fanon lmao what are you on about
Most of the cast in those moving picture frames have past away. They did a tribute to all of them during the reunion recently.
had to come back and watch these reactions over again. the Oaks transition into a huge Potter nerd throughout these reactions is hilarious.
😁😁👍👍
same here!
For a little clarification during the wizard chess scene, in the books Ron is not on a horse.The actual piece move off and the trio take their place. So when he gets hit, he actually takes the blow. But the director thought the horse looked cool, it just still doesn't work because Ron looks like he decided not to get out of the way.. So it's a question that almost every you are asked
I think there's reason behind Ron being on the horse - he could see the board from there. Given the size of the pieces, an 11 year old at floor level would have trouble seeing the positions of all the pieces, and this wasn't a time to rely on memory. This is one of the changes from the book that make sense from a standpoint other than cost cutting. In my opinion.
Once his piece was on the board and moving, Ron would not be able to simply leap off, because he would be adding a piece, himself, to the board, and likely forfeit the game for a rules breach.
I love your Marvel reactions and was excited to see you guys start this series. The first 2 Harry Potter movies are more on the kid side but they will get darker as you go.
Thank you! We appreciate the support. 🤘 We are looking forward to these movies.
They still have their surprisingly dark moments tho…
The stories grow up as the kids do. Very well planned out by JK Rowling
@@BaddMedicine I hope you lose the habit of calling Snape "Hans". I have no idea who that even is, and it's definitely annoying. It probably makes as much sense to me as it would to you if you were watching me review these movies and I kept calling Professor McGonagall "Dowager Countess Violet" (the character Maggie Smith played in Downton Abbey).
@@Shan_Dalamani Snape’s actor Alan Rickman is famous for his portrayal of the villain Hans Gruber from the Bruce Willis hit “Die Hard” and thus many fans remember him most as “Hans.”
I grew up during the absolute fever rush that was Harry Potter as the books and movies were coming out. I was raised by an evangelical family, so I didn't experience the story with my peers. Then as an adult, I really never thought about it. I watched the movies for the first time ever when I was 30, then read them. Now I know I am a Gryffindor and my patronus is a buffalo.
I love both LOTR and HP. When I was a kid watching these films I'm more on the HP side but growing I just realized that these are legendary films
These movies were an EVENT. It was wild having them come out over the years, while simultaneously getting the book releases hyping it all up even more.
Going to a midnight showing on release night was something you did not want to miss as a book fan. The energy was real.
So glad they have times before midnight now days lol
The staircases move just because, though its implied in the novels there is a pattern that students anticipate. In the books there are "doors that were solid walls pretending" and a number of walls that were just illusions. Hogwarts is effectively a death trap for first year students.
I discovered these films at a really dark time in my life. I felt transported to such a wonderful place the first time I saw this and for that they’ll always hold a special place in my heart.
Hands down the best Harry Potter reaction series. A great balance of discussing the overall themes, individual moments, the characters, and humor.
Yes , you guys are in for a treat .
Love how you immediately recognized Alan Rickman 😄
I'm excited to see your journey through this movie series
Thank you, Sophie! We appreciate it 🤘
I was in my 40s when the first book came out. I didn't read them until after the second one was released, but before the first movie came out, which came out after the third novel. There is a lot left out that any novel reader will fill in automatically when watching these movies with even more left out in later ones. There is an item in the last two movies which is not explained at all, just Harry suddenly has it, that is well explained in earlier books. A friend in his 80s read the series while in rehab, knowing that I was a big fan of the series, and his response after finishing them was "why didn't you get me to read these sooner".
it's the 10 time I rewatch your HP Reaction, and since I know how much Oak is invested NOW, it'Hilarious seeing him here not convinced at all about starting watching it 😂
From this video to the current day, the transformation of your love of Potter has been beautiful. ❤️
It's always so much fun to see people watch Harry Potter for the first time. Usually, even if they didn't know anything about it or this type of movie isn't usually their thing, they get sucked into the magical feeling of it all. I grew up with the books and films and HP was a huge part of my life (still is in many ways) and honestly, I wish I could watch these films for the first time just to enjoy that feeling of wonder at the Wizarding World. I still rewatch them every now and then when I need a good comfort film, they're perfect autumn films and the escapism is more fun for me than something as action packed as Lord of the Rings.
"i cant believe im actually hanging out at my age with you dudes watching harry potter" - now owns many a HP shirt!! hahah I love it so much!
I love how Harry should've been Slytherin, Hermione should've been Ravenclaw and Ron should've been in Hufflepuff but they all ended up in Griffendor
was it really supposed to be like that? its been quite a while since i read the books
To be fair though, a lot of the sorting isn't based on what you ARE, it's what you PRIORITISE as a personality trait. I think that's a huge reason family members tend to end up in the same house, but not always. Take the Weaslys for example. Due to their ambitious nature, Percy, Fred, and George would have definitly ended up in Slytherin. But being raised in a family that prioritises bravery and courage, all the kids ended up in Griffindor.
Well, I don't know about Ron, but Hermione admitted that the hat considered putting her in Ravenclaw. Not that she should have been there; the hat decided she belonged in Gryffindor. As Dumbledore said, it's our choices that really define who we are. Harry not wanting to go to Slytherin was the very thing that determined he did not belong there.
@@marshallpeters7174 because Hermione is book-smart, but Rivenclaw is for wise and talented. And she likes to show off, as one of the Griffindor traits:)
@@LSG101097 Hermione is also good at appling logic/analytic thinking which is shown by the riddle with the potions and she is inventive too (the coins in OoP).
They really tuned the insanity of Vernon down as he tried to escape the letters. Dudley being afraid for the first time in his life when Vernon shouts at him during that time for example. Also, I dont believe its ever stated in the movie for some reason, but the mirror shows Ron all these things because his biggest desire is to stand out compared to all his elder brothers.
I was 11 when this movie came out, when the last one came out I was 21, Harry Potter was a big part of my life, taught me a lot and shaped a lot of who I am today. Thank you for doing this, and for being so open minded and respectful about it.
I just HAD to come back to this first reaction to see how drastically The Oak grew into this series😂
🤣🤣🤣 🤘🤙🤙
Back to re-watch this, because Oak is my favorite character arc in the Harry Potter series.
I didn't realize till like 50 min in that his "name/alias" was Oak and thought you were making a pokemon reference ngl
😁
I thought for years Dumbledore’s “it takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends” was just used as a reason to make Gryffindor win, but after watching fantastic beasts it really hits different… ( I had this feeling already after reading deathly hallows but as far as I remember it’s not that clear in the movies) you’ll understand if you keep watching all Harry Potter and fantastic beasts films
Wasn't until just a few minutes ago I realized that wormtail has been wrecking them from the beginning. Who knows what that spell would've done to an actual rat...
This movie is a feel-good family-friendly movie that most could enjoy, and I surely do. It's from Chris Colombus, who directed Home Alone, and I could say the same about that movie.
The reason Harry has to stay with the Dursleys is because the magical protection spell from Lily is only in effect when Harry is living with people he is related to, usually parents but with him it is his aunt, his mother’s sister. As much as Petunia hated her sister, she was not going put her sister’s son in danger after she died by sending him away. It was explained in the letter Dumbledore left with Harry on their doorstep. Hayride was also so upset that Petunia had told Harry they died in a car crash because they are basically considered war heroes who died in the line of duty and whose sacrifice had an impact on Voldemort’s original destruction.
rewatching your harry potter reactions to just see oak’s transition from not caring for these movies to being a potterhead once again lol
I too just started it again to watch Oak's transition 😊 never thought I would find someone else like me
as a fan of the books and movies alike, they don't do any of the Dursleys well in the movies, there is some deleted scenes from the last movie that showed some growth to their characters, but Petunia tells him she hated her sister, but in reality she begged to also be a witch when her sister was found to be one, and she resented not being one, but the reason Harry was sent to their house was due to part of the magic that saved him from Voldemort the night his parents died, something to do with the magic staying around to protect him only so long as he could call a place where his mother's blood (Petunia) existed, and petunia knew about this too. also one of the deleted scenes from the final movie shows that Dudley doesn't hate Harry.
Childhood memories... What a series!!!!
🤘🤘🤘
This is so funny. I’m late, but I just watched all of your reactions to the whole franchise and I gotta say, it is hilarious and also satisfying watching the oak from start to finish 🤣 “I couldn’t get into this…” fast forward 6 movies and he’s wearing a Gryffindor scarf and is like the biggest fan 🤣 Love it.
I’m rewatching these reactions❤ I discovered this channel because of this video and these guys became my absolute favorite channel to watch on CZcams. Absolute quality content, can’t wait to re-watch the Oak’s journey into the fandom😂
We appreciate it and glad you enjoyed!
Each movie is better than the last. Thank you for doing this! ❤️
Thank you for watching. Looking forward to these movies.
Hard disagree there. Third one is easily the best
@@h0rr0rshow Well how else would someone take your comment?
@@tbass94 well everyones got their own oppinions on that, i agree tho every movie gets better and better
@@h0rr0rshow not allowed an opinion? Knobhead
It was so fun to watch 3 grown dudes having so much fun with this movie.
The staircases move to encourage the exploration of the castle with all its secrets and ancient magic. This also forces young witches and wizards to think on their feet and adapt to situations, even if it might be inconvenient or cause you to be late for a class.
The staircases don't move in the books tho, do they? I remember steps disappearing, but not stairs changing
@@marirezende8478only some of them changed on friday
Re-watching this now makes me laugh at how you guys were goofing about watching Harry Potter, and knowing that by the last movie you would be wearing t-shirts, and be owning wands! lol!! Goes to show, you should never say never!🤣
BTW you commented about looking at the plaques for a name to jump out at you...look at the plaque to the right of James Potter's and you will see M. McGonagle...aka, Professor McGonagle!
It’s actually my 1st time watching your channel as I was looking for HP reactions. Actually enjoyed y’all 3 dudes. I hope y’all persevere. 1st 2 is more intro movies to get kids into the universe. Then it kicks off with the darkness. Can’t wait to experience your journeys of Potterverse.
Welcome to the channel! We just recorded number 3 and that was fantastic. Looking forward to the rest.
Severus Snape is absolutely the best character and his arc is incredibly interesting! Alan Rickman is a beast!
Alan is great!
The way Rickman brought that character to life is nothing short of iconic.
The actor made movie snape look so much better than book snape, book Snape was a bitter hateful man
Three big, buff, tough men watching Harry Potter. Ya know I HAD to watch this reaction. 😁
First time viewer of your channel and I loved it! You guys were honest and thoughtful and quite funny...so it looks like you earned a new subscriber. As a massive Potter fan, I appreciate you giving it a go. My kids loved it growing up and I find I'm a bigger fan than even they were! It appeals to everyone age for many reasons. I can't wait till my grandkiddies get into them.
I hope you enjoy the rest of the shows...they are brilliant! ❤️🇨🇦
Oak: I wouldn’t watch this movie again
Oak 8 weeks later: I’ve watched all the movies again, watched the deleted scenes, fan theories and listened to the audiobooks
The First movie came out when I was six years old. I've seen every single one of them in theaters. I was terrified for many many years of Voldemort. But, I kept watching the movies for the storyline. But it took me years to fully understand the story and I was terrified.
🤘🤘🤘
So glad I found y'alls channel! Cant wait to see the rest, they only get better. My only "issue" with this film is the Devil's Snare part. In the book, Hermione knows nothing about how to get out of it. She basically has Ron's reaction while Ron has hers. "Have you gone mad? Are you a witch or not!"
I love Ron in both the movies and books, but the movies did him dirty! And Hermione is great, but she gets so much more attention in the movies and "steals" all of Ron's best lines. Don't get me started on the 3rd movie. Won't spoil them, but wow they make Hermione perfect and Ron a laughing stock.... In the books Ron is my fav
Thank you, Pamela! We recorded number 3 and that was fantastic!
@@cosesu8929 I like all of the golden trio and Hermione is definitely my favorite female character of the series. I still hate what they did to Ron in the movies. Hermione is a great character just the way she is. It wasn't necessary to build her up even more while pushing Ron down. Ron is kind, brave, smart and loyal. But they made him selfish and often cowardly and sometimes even like a bully.
Of course he was a jerk sometimes but which teenager isn't? Harry and Hermione had a lot of those moments themselves. So many people say that Harry couldn't have survived without Hermione and that he couldn't have finished Voldemort without her and they are right. But what those people tend to forget is that neither would she. The point was that they needed each other and none of them could have done it alone.
funny seeing oaks reactions change from "meh" to how much he loves these films now 😂
Died at all the Die Hard references. "They're going after the lights!" "Hans, bubbie, I'm your white knight!" 😂
🤣🤣🤣
39:00 4 books had already been published when the first movie came out in 2001.
I fell in love with it, long before the other adults my age woke up to it and realized what it was gonna be. I knew it was gonna be legendary.
I love coming back and rewatching this because Oak is such a Potterhead now 😂
I love coming back to this reaction because it's such a contrast from the last movie xD
Most of every comment didn't age well and I find it funny. So happy you guys became such Potterheads!
Loved you guys reaction! Don't makes us wait much for the next one! The movies definitely get better and better and darker and darker. The 1st movie does seen more childish but the whole franchise is definitely for every stage in your life.
Thank you! We appreciate you checking it the reaction. We just started editing the 2nd one so hopefully soon🤙
I'm new to the channel and it's hilarious to me to hear Oaks opinion now, knowing what it turns into in the future 😂😂😂 I always love watching these videos as an avid fan of a lot of the movies they're experiencing for the first time.
These reactions are my new comfort videos… perfect for the Christmas season. ❤
The very first time I saw a Harry Potter book was when I was riding a NYC subway train back in the late 1990s and I saw an adult reading it. As months went by I kept seeing more and more adults reading the book. I wondered what is it about that book that it's making so many grown-ups so turned onto it. When the movie was about to come out a co-worker of mine kept going on and on about how excited she was about seeing the film based on her favorite book. So I decided to go see it as well. I really enjoyed it. But it wasn't until my brother asked if I was going to buy the fifth Harry Potter book because he heard some spoilers about it. I then bought a couple of audio books because of my brother's dyslexia. I was eternally hooked. Things were never the same again. I finally understood why adults loved them so much. They might look like children's books but there are very much a lot of political undertone written between the lines. Plus one has to understand that we the readers are seeing the stories via the eyes of Harry Potter as he grows up. We are looking it through his point of view. As he grows up, we see things differently as he begins to see things differently and more and more maturely. As he starts to understand and view things more an adult manner so do we. Our eyes opens as his does. We grew with him. So as the sequels go on the stories get darker and more mature in nature. 📚👍🖤
