Honestly, this movie was really good. I've had time to sit down and reflect on it, and I really, really enjoyed it! It's so much better thinking back on the events once you know the truth about Crouch Jr./Moody. I feel like this movie needs a second watch through just to enjoy the little things that are missed like Crouch Jr. torturing the spider in front of Neville, his glee at using the curses and not having any repercussions, and also Barty Crouch Sr.'s reaction when he sees Moody do the tongue thing. I'm glad I get to watch the movie a second time while I'm editing, I pick up so many things I missed!! Does this movie rank in your top 3? So far for me it does for sure!

Actually this ranks in my bottom 2. It's tied for worst adaptation with an upcoming one. The movies are good. This one suffers from including only about 1/2 of the book which includes the lead up to the next one. From here on they leave a lot of stuff out but unfortunately leave in dialogue from following movies that reference things this one left out. The Order of the Phoenix is the longest book and the shortest movie but it's one of the best adaptations despite how much they had to leave out. I give credit to the fact that a different screenwriter was involved in OOP. Unfortunately they went back to Steve Kloves for the last 3 movies.
@@toodlescae Hmm I suppose it's very different if you've read the books or not. Even then, I don't compare the books to the movies since it's SO hard to keep everything in. I treat the two mediums separately so I can enjoy both and see the changes in the characters. Unfortunate that they leave in dialogue from following movies that reference things this one left out... that seems like just very bad planning and job done :(
@@VerowakReacts agree. That's why I tell everyone to enjoy the movies and to look at reading the books as a new abd different adventure into the wizarding world.
@@toodlescae This is the BEST way to see things! Instead of comparing and bashing one for lack of information and changes in characters. It's so hard to make accurate movie adaptation. It's nice having two worlds and learning about both 😆
@@toodlescae Being a bad adaptation does not necessarily make a bad movie though. Yes its clearly different but its also thought very highly of by most fans. Its just a great movie overall
Just to clarify. Harry is just a highschool level quidditch player. He is not a profesional player. The World Cup is for adults and its not between schools, but the actual National teams for each country (in the movie you can see Ireland vs Bulgary). So its profesional atletes playing as a job. This is kind of the equivalent to the soccer world cup in the real world. And harry's equivalent in the real world would be just a highschooler playing for his highschool's soccer team. About Victor Krum being in the team while he is still at school, this is because 1. He is in his last year of school and hes already an adult (your an adult at 17 in the wizarding world) 2. He is a quiddicht genius, so is not normal to be a profesional quidditch player that young, its just an exception, because he is specially good.
Voldemort wanting to dual Harry isn’t silly. Voldemort is a egomaniac. He doesn’t want to just kill Harry. He wants to prove that Harry living was a fluke and that he’s clearly and easily better than Harry.
And Voldemort did not know that his wand & Harry’s wand share the same core (tail feathers from the same Phoenix) & will not work properly against each other. If Voldemort had known the wands are brothers he probably would have simply killed Harry while Harry was wandless and pinned to the tombstone.
Voldemort doesn't want people to question his power. He basically wants people to fear him. As long as Harry is alive it's a constant reminder to Voldemort that he's not all powerful and people will question his power because he's had all these chances to kill Harry from the time Harry was a one year old and yet Harry is still alive.
"Blood of the enemy *forcibly* taken" If I was Harry, I would IMMEDIATELY consent to him taking my blood so the spell wouldn't work. "Oh please Pettigrew, take my blood and use it however you want! 😃" I guess that's why Harry isn't a Ravenclaw, because we wouldn't have much of a story haha
One of the really interesting things about imposter Moody is that he wasn't putting on an act when he bullied Draco and shouted about his father, or when he had snide remarks for Igor Karkaroff. Barty Crouch Jr *hates* what he views as fair weather or traitor Death Eaters. Malfoy claimed after the first war that he was under the Imperius Curse and never really followed Voldemort (remember what Moody said about that curse in his first class). Malfoy was more than happy to relax in his position of influence and remain out of Azkaban, while loyal Death Eaters rotted in prison. Karkaroff turned snitch, landed Crouch Jr in Azkaban, and then legitimately renounced his loyalty to Voldemort, walking an honest path from then until his death. Another note is that Barty Crouch Jr escaped from Azkaban long before Sirius did. I wrote out a long explanation, but deleted it so I don't completely spoil it if you choose to read the books, which you totally should!
I will definitely read the books, there seems to be SO many differences and additional lore, which I really want! I didn't know it was Malfoy that claimed he was under the imperius curse, good to know. Once I knew that Moody was Crouch jr, a lot of his actions made more sense
As to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors. It's far enough along now that the books would have revealed that DATDA position was cursed by Tom Riddle when he was denied the position for the second time so no professor keeps it for more than a year.
I'll be one of the few to say this is an improvement over the books. For the first time events are spinning out of Dumbledore's control. Someone tampered with the Goblet Of Fire right under his nose. He's frustrated and worried. Also, he's been known to raise his voice and drop the kindly pretense when needed. Remember his "silence!" to cut through the panic in the Great Hall when the troll was let in on Halloween. All of Michael Gambon's acting choices (or the direction he was given) moves the character away from Richard Harris' kindly and innocent portrayal - which was perfect because it was from the perspective of 11-12 year old little kids - to something darker, layered with agendas that Harry knows nothing about, and possibly not entirely altruistic or even always right as we begin to see.
@@thirteenthandy It made complete sense for Dumbledore to be agitated, so when someone sent me what it said in the books, I found it just paints a different picture of Dumbledore.
In the comments of most reactions to Goblet of Fire someone references that line from the book. Dedicated Potterheads are extremely annoyed that movie Dumbledore does not calmly ask Harry if he put his name in the Goblet & one always brings it up in the comments.
If you need the age of the main trio always add 10 to the book number. The last two films are one book so they are 17 in that book. Cedric was played by another actor in Azkaban but he was the Hufflepuff that was struck by lightning. And you're guessing this stuff way too easily for me to believe that you haven't seen these. lol
One year older all the time makes sense, it's just crazy seeing how much 1 year makes a different for people growing up. I didn't know Cedric was in Azkaban, just assumed it was a new character. The storyline isn't THAT hard to guess. I also don't guess everything correctly, there are lots of things I get wrong. If I watched these 20 years ago, I'm sure I wouldn't have guessed most of the stuff.
@@ronweber1402 Ahh, no worries at all! I've notice quite a few people do that so I'm getting used to it. I do appreciate the responses as you're watching! Thank you
What makes the scene with the Cruciatus Curse and Neville so interesting is that Barry Crouch (disguised as Moody) tortured Neville’s parents and is secretly rubbing it in Neville’s face and by extension torturing Neville.
Also because Fake Moody is cursing an animal instead of a human, he has permission to demonstrate the curses in the DADA classroom. Rowlings made the killing curse sound like ABRA-CADABRA.
@@lupus1891 Both of them did. In this film during the flashback scene, Karkaroff says that Barty Crouch Jr. committed to torturing the Longbottoms along with Bellatrix
After the second event remember Barty Sr's look on his face after he saw Moody's tongue action. In the book there were creatures in the maze. When the death eaters come to the cemetery, everyone notes Lucius's name, but they seem to miss the other death eaters, like Crabbe & Goyle. As the movies go on, they explain more things. The books explain even more
Oh for sure the books explain more, which is why I really want to read them once I'm done the movies 😀 I imagine I'll love the universe even more after that
@@P-M-869 I like having a voice and face for the characters, makes it easier to remember them. That's what I did for Game of Thrones, and those books have a LOT of characters, so I'm glad I could put a face and voice to the characters and keep track of what's going on
The movie depicted Beaubatons as a women only school which is untrue in the books. The guys underwater were never in any danger of dying. Their sleeping spell wasn't gonna wear off for one hour. The delay was given to the champions to test their decision making and prevent the Task of lasting too long. Harry in his naivity believed that you would die after one hour. You perfectly understood why Cedric HAD to die, narratively speaking I presume. Harry going alone would have not been believed by anyone, Cedric going alone would have just vanished without a trace and Voldemort's resurrection might not have been possible or would have gone unnoticed. For the story to progress, Cedric HAD to die. ironically, had Harry gone selfishly for the cup, Cedric would still be alive. The book's maze scene is very different from the movie. Barty Crouch evasion far preceedes Sirius Black's although they didn't notice it. Barty jr made his mother take polyjuice to look like him and and him to look like his mother so his mother went there instead and she died of despair shortly after and as Dementors don't really give a damn about appearances, they didn't notice the corpse they got wasn't the guy that was supposed to be their prisoner. Dumbledore is badly directed in this movie and it is the director's fault. Dumbledore acts nervous and panicked which is totally out of character. As for the Ministry being incompetent douches, you've only seen the beginning of it... Fantastic Beasts are not mandatory and are kind of messy but it's still nice additionnal lore; watch at your dicretion.
All this information that isn't shown or told in the movies. Just reading comments makes me want to start reading Harry Potter but I'm patiently waiting until I finish all 8 movies :D
Wizardmore has the exact same tests for your House, your wand & your Patronus but you don’t have to create an account to take them. According to Wizardmore I’m in Ravenclaw, my wand is 13 inches made of beechwood with a unicorn hair core & my Patronus is a dapple gray stallion.
Yes. The spell is called the Patronus Charm. The words to cast the charm are “Expecto Patronum” & when done properly it produces a shield called a Patronus which takes the form of an animal. Professor Lupin taught Harry the Patronus Charm in Prisoner of Azkaban & you’ll see more of it in the next movie Order of the Phoenix.
@@learobinson4450 Yeah he taught him it, but I don't remember him saying anything about an animal, so I was a bit confused when Harry saw a deer like thing in Prisoner of Azkaban. So I just assumed it conjured an animal form or something
17:06 What they don't explain in the movie is that the other champions (Krum and Fleur) already knew what the task would be too. So when Harry found out, he knew Cedric was the only one who didn't know. That's why he told Cedric, because it wouldn't be fair otherwise.
After all, we actually see Madame Maxine learning about the dragons, and why wouldn't she try to give her student an advantage? The Hogwarts teachers (barring Moody, since he was deliberately trying to get Harry to win) were actually following the international rules and not helping their students, but the foreign teachers didn't have the same, er, integrity?
Both Barty Crouch Jr and SIrius Black escaped Azkaban by thinking around the safeguards. Sirius was an unregistered animagus, able to turn into a dog. Thing is, the Dementors only really effect humans, so when the dementors came around his cell, he would transform into a dog. He could have escaped for years, but didn't because there was no way to clear his name, or prove his innocence. To his mind, he had failed Lily and James Potter by failing to protect them from Wormtail's deception. . . . and before the Potters' murder, he had actually clashed with Lupin, thinking Lupin was being turned to Voldemort's side because Voldemort had the support of werewolves and believed Lupin going to turn against them. So he had no friends, thought Peter had blown himself up, and that Lupin likely hated him (for accusing him, and because Lupin thought Sirius had sold out the Potters). But then, he was allowed to look at a newspaper in prison, where he saw the Weasley family in Egypt. A family photo. With Ron holding a very familiar rat (after all, the three Animagus friends -- James Sirius, and Peter -- knew each other's animal forms). And that familiar rat was missing a toe (as Peter had lost a finger). He realized what had happened and began planning his escape to find and kill Peter. In dog form, he escaped, as the Dementors could not sense the human Sirius in his cell. So they entered to investigate and did not stop the animal from leaving. __________________ Barty Crouch Jr had help from his parents to escape. As she was dying, Lady Crouch begged her husband to set Junior free; but Senior could not do so legally. So they staged a visit to Junior in Azkaban. They brought polyjuice potion (enough for two) and a blanket. The dying Lady Crouch disguised herself as Junior and Junior was made to look like his mom via potion. And, as Death Eaters don't really differentiate human from human, Junior escaped looking like his mom. Mrs Crouch was later buried in Azkaban. Barty Crouch Sr then kept Junior drugged and under control for years, with their house elf Winkie as his primary caretaker. Winkie convinced Senior that Mistress would have wanted her son to see the Quidditch World Cup, as he loved Quidditch as a child. Senior gave in. But afterwards, when the stupor was wearing off, and Senior wasn't able to recapply it due to preoccupation with the rampaging Death Eaters, Junior tried to sneak away (under an invisibility cloak). Winkie tried to stop him, but was too weak. Junior saw the Death Eaters and became enraged. He had been sentenced to prison for years while these guys remained free? They could only have remained free if they had pretended to not have been serving Voldemort willingly. Viewing them as traitors in need of reminding that their Master was still powerful, he cast the Dark Mark over the grounds. When the Aurors showed up and Supefied the area, he was struck my a bolt, knocking him out. It was this display of casting the Mark that alerted Voldemort to a willing and capable servant still at large, whereupon he sent for Crouch Jr. And then made plans to hunt and kill HP. _________________
Okay i have seen these movies as a kid...but im really curious if its that easy to guess what will happen (youve done it multiple times lol) hope we will see more reactions from you for other movies (?)
I honestly think a lot of it is from life experience and reading books and watching movies. I also have in mind that a lot of movies try to have sneaky twists and, after watching a few Harry Potter movies, it seems like a LOT of times, the characters are not who they initially are shown to be (like the Defense against the Dark Arts teachers. Quirrel seems weak and cowardly, but he's the evil guy in the end. Snape seems to be trying to harm and sabotage Harry, but he's actually countering Quirrel. Quilderoy Lockhart is this amazing person that's been on so many adventures but turns out he's the opposite, a coward and one trick pony wizard). So there's a common theme here where the watcher (not sure how it is in the books since I've never read them), is lead to believe that the character is one way, then they are not at all. I also feel like it was weird introducing Cedric so early as a new character, and the fact that they are in a "very dangerous situation" for the tri-wizard cut and "people die", I assumed someone would die, and it's always best if we've formed a sort of connection to them. It's harder to predict what will happen to movies that aren't in a series/franchise
@@VerowakReacts Great answer, and yes i totally agree. If i think about it for a minute it makes a lot of sense, its just most people dont think like that while theyre watching the movie, but i lve your reactions so far so keep em coming! :)
Some things just seep in from public consciousness. Like Harry being in the tournament. Whether you've seen the film or not you have probably seen "HARRY DID YOU PITYOURNAMEINTHEGOBLEDEFIYAH" on the internet
I enjoy your reaction videos. Your intelegence, humor and sarcasm are a nice combination. I look forward to watching the full Patreon version when I get home.
Durmstrang is not an all-boy school and Beauxbattons is not an all-girl school. They just chose to show it like that in the movie. The reward for winning the tournament beside the cup (hold in Hogwards now) was 1000 gold galleons. Because how Harry felt about winning (similar to you - shennanigans) he chose to give it all to Fred and George to finance their dream of having their own business.
Due to the smaller actor pool in UK coincidentally Barty Crouch Jr and Barty Crouch Sr were in an episode of Doctor Who together. Crouch Sr, Roger Lloyd-Pack, was a villain who created cybermen and Crouch Jr, David Tennant, was the Doctor who defeated him. The next defense against the dark arts instructor is everybody's favorite character in the series. Fantastic Beasts is set before all the Harry Potter stories when Dumbledore was still a young man. It provides back story to some references in Harry Potter.
I love that Ron is just figuring out that one of his best friends is an attractive girl. I remember the same thing happening with boys in my family (which we have a lot of) around 14. Hermione is several months older than Ron and Harry. Hermione turned 15 on September 19th right after the school year started on Sept 2nd. Ron turns 15 on March 1st and Harry turns 15 on July 31 during summer break. The movies unfortunately make it look like Harry starts school a day or 2 after his birthday not a month after.
This is my first time watching. The only plot I know is is that Harry is a wizard and there's an evil guy named Voldemort that wants to kill Harry because he somehow couldn't kill him when he was a baby
I have to agree it's pretty sus, especially when it's multiple predictions every movie, I've seen so many obviously fake "first time" reaction videos, it wouldn't even surprise me anymore. It's easy views and promotes her Twitch/patreon, she wouldn't be the first one to do it for these kind of reasons. But at least she makes me doubt it, it would be really dumb to make so many right predictions if she was faking it, and some stuff's predictable, sometimes she still says things that make me doubt but oh well, I'll just enjoy the videos.
If I remember correctly and I’ve read the books and watched the movie many times in the past but, the reason why harry could use expelliamus easily against avada kadavera isn’t because expelliarmus is equally powerful as the killing curse but more the fact that harry and Voldemort’s wands share the same core, the phoenix that gave a feather to create Voldemorts wand gave another feather and it so happened to be Harry’s wand that received the second feather as better explained in sorcerers stone by ollivander the wand maker. The fact that the wands share similar cores doesn’t allowed the owners to fatally harm one another so even if Voldemort tried he cannot kill harry while using the wand that shares the same core as Harry’s he would have to use another wand. Wand are kind of funny and confusing like that the books definitely explain things better
I've gathered that the wands are pretty important now that I've watched Deathly Hallows part 1 :D But even then, wands just seem SO convoluted and, I REALLY hope the books shed a LOT of light on how it works. I guess typically, people don't fatally harm others (except for Voldemort and his goons), so people having the same core wouldn't really matter.
@@VerowakReacts haha yes very true! But I think it makes a difference in Harry/Voldemort case because whatever core is given to a wand is unique for example if your wand has a phoenix feather core it’s extremely rare that the phoenix gives out another of its feathers… one phoenix gives one feather for one wand but this was the only case where one phoenix gave a feather for 2 wands. It’s not a common occurrence. But please don’t quote me haha I could be rembering everything completely wrong
@@themardiaries230 I mean, that would make more sense. I just thought that with all the wands that were made, there was bound to be some made very similarly :D It seems that there's much more information in the books so I'll become an expert... maybe 😆
Dont say you are to old to watch stupid teen stuff from ron. I just think back an smile at how much wierd stuff i did myself at that age. And alot of the things u are asking an explanation for are as you probably know explained in the books. The first three movies are almost identical to the books. After that the books get bigger,but the films dont get any longer..
I didn't do weird stuff at that age, so it's hard for me to relate to it. But now that I'm getting further into the movies, I'm appreciating the character development when I look back at the previous movies
@@VerowakReacts IMO as far as adaption from the books this is one of the worse they didn't even mention that the Triward tournament had a cash prize. And Ron is poor and he is really insecure because his brothers have already do everything at hogwarts that is considered great, the twins and his older brother Charlie were quidditch pros and popular his brother Percy was the smart one great grades and even Making headboy(kinda like valedictorian for his house) and the. He beco es friends with Harry who is popular and always the center of attention whether he wants it or not Ron is a Great friend but his Insecurities and jealousy took over in this one. But honestly it's reflects realistic reactions of a 14 year boy in his situation makes him more believable as a character
@@taneshadavis2432 Insecurities are a HUGE thing, and I completely get that for Ron. This is why Ron in the first half of this movie is my favourite Ron so far. He's much more relatable and not shoe horned as the "funny, dumb character"
You said the beginning of the movie had a DC feel to it. It makes sense because Warner Bros did all the Harry Potter movies and the DC Comics stuff too
That's Brendan Gleeson. Mad Eye Moody. His son Domhall is Bill Weasley in the later films. You saw Karkaroff sneaking into the great hall in the beginning. It's to show Imposter Moody changed into him, went and bewitched the Goblin of Fyre to put in Harry's name in it. He imperiused Krum to put the other two out of commission in the maze, so Harry reached the Cup first. Will you be reading the books, then you'll find out who killed Barty Crouch Sr and how they hid the body.
Lol how are you actually predicting events before they happen. Somehow you are just managing to jump to the right conclusions. You sure you haven't watched these movies before? Some of the events (Can be concluded based on the information presented in the movie but you are able to predict the ones that are literally nowhere close).
@@VerowakReacts Right out of the gate from the title of the movie, before you even start watching it, you seem to know the foundational plot. In the Prisoner of Azkaban reaction, you said, "Someone who might be WRONGFULLY accused of a crime." Lol That is literally the whole plot. A more general assumption would be (someone who is a prisoner in Azkaban) blah blah blah....etc. Then in Goblet of Fire, you are saying that (it is some sort of Olympic tournament where different schools compete)? Do different schools compete? How did you know? Maybe you have watched the trailers. I don't know what is going on here. Also, Goblet of Fire, in no way shape or form, gets you close to assuming that it would be some school tournament. It could be anything; a literal goblet of fire that enhances an individual's power, or some shit, or perhaps a mysterious artificat. On top of that, The Prisoner of Azkaban apparently had the most unexpected moments in the series up to this point. In that, when Harry was at night strolling using that map trailing Peter Pettigrew, you literally said, "It's the rat." How tf do you get to that? You also said that Hermione has a necklace that does something, and at some point in your life you knew what it did, so you clearly know what's up. In that same reaction, when Lupin was teaching the class and the bogurt turned to the moon and you said, "Is he a werewolf?" I mean, come on, that is way too precise and you said that with confidence. There are more things I have noticed, but this is just off the top of my head. I am sure I can break down all the reactions with precise quotes of your assumptions, but I don't have time for that. Not to come off as offensive, if you know things about the plot, instead of saying that it's your first time watching, it would be better if you were transparent about it.
@@edgybastard1952 Prisoner of Azkaban assumption was because Harry Potter has a tendency of showing something, then it turning out to not be what the obvious assumption is. So a prisoner (one would assume they are guilty) could mean that they actually shouldn't be a prisoner (therefore wrongfully accused). This stems from Quirrel not being who he was first shown to be, same with Gilderoy Lockhart, and Snape (that he was trying to harm Harry, when in fact, he was not). Goblet of Fire... Unless a magician swallows magic, I assumed (wrongfully) that it was an Olympic torch for Quidditch. And since Hogwarts has matches throughout every year where each house competes, there's no way that they would have a random tournament just for that school. In my high school, we competed against different schools, so would make sense for a special tournament to involve more than one school. It's very common for championships to involve more than one school. It's not an "out of the blue" assumption. I assumed that since the Philosopher's Stone was an artifact, they wouldn't go with that again, I just figured each movie would be different from the next instead of having the same type of "goal" or important aspect. For Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry seeing the feet moving around. It didn't look like a person was walking (unless they were drunk, which I assumed wasn't the case since they're in a school), and I remembered that Scabbers had run away. So movement looked like a rat could be skittering around. The necklace was something I saw as a clip like 15 years ago since I like time travelling. I'm assuming it was some kind of "top 10 time travelling in movies" thing since the movie itself was not familiar at all. With Lupin.. what is scared of a full moon? I've read books and seen movies in my life, and the only thing that I know of that change during a full moon are werewolves and saiyans with their tails still attached. This isn't Dragon Ball, so werewolf makes the most sense. It isn't that farfetched that someone could guess that. I knew the necklace, and that's what I said at the beginning. I know nothing else of any plot aside from what the title may tell me (like Prisoner of Azkaban, and I guess Goblet of Fire, though I did not guess completely accurately). If you can't believe that this is my first time watching these, then that's unfortunate. If I know something about the movie, I will state it beforehand, like I did for Prisoner of Azkaban.
I hate that they included the tongue thing, it's given it away to a few reactors. Was not in the book. Crouch Jr' was in Azkaban and his mother was dying, so they both took polyjuice potion and switched places. Crouch Jr supposedly died in Azkaban, so no one knew he had escaped. Consequently very few of any readers guessed that he was parading as Moody.
I guess for the movies they want to give hints, but you're saying in the books, it's much harder to tell that Crouch Jr. was parading as Moody? That sounds perfect, I wish they did that for the movies.
@@erikperhs_ That's very true. That's one thing that I tend to dislike since it feels like a complete plot hole or badly planned thing to happen. It's nice when re-watching it, or re-reading it, you can notice the hints about the twist
Lost in translation from the books to the movie but a character is quoted as saying, "Cheating’s a traditional part of the Triwizard Tournament and always has been."
@@VerowakReacts This is probably my least favorite movie of the series. This or Chamber of Secrets. However there is just so much going on in the story that never gets carried over into the movie. They never explain what Death Eaters are in the movies (Voldemort's followers) and they don't explain Barty Crouch Jr.'s story, why he was sent to Azkaban, how he escaped, how his family -- even Barty Crouch Sr.! -- was involved even, and they don't explain the other two schools very well, Rita Skeeter almost at all, and even like... how Krum didn't attack Harry. He was under the Imperius curse btw. He was under mind control. Lots going on that does not get explained well in the movie.
@@littlebill1138 It's so difficult to put everything from the books into a movie, it's very unfortunate important aspects have to be cut out, or else the movies would probably either be too long or require 2 movies per books, which would probably not be great either :(
In the book it’s very thoroughly explained how Barty Crouch Jr. got out of Azkaban, Barty Crouch Sr. and his wife who was on her sickly ill went to visit him (Jr.) and while in Azkaban mrs. crouch and Barty Crouch Jr. used polyjuice to transform into each other and as his mother Barty Crouch Jr. walks out with his dad while Mrs. Crouch polyjuiced as her son died in Azkaban and the dementors burry the body outside the prison. You should read the books they are soooo good
Well Harry was going to be there for sure, it would be strange to have a movie not involving the main character. And if Harry couldn't put his name in, then someone else would have to be the champion for Hogwarts. I didn't know how Harry was going to be added to the list of champions, just that he would be there 😂
An auror (dark wizard catcher) is more like law enforcement. They are part of the Ministry. Because of the rumors that the post is cursed, which it is, it's very hard to find anyone who wants the job of Defenses Against The Dark Arts teacher. They pretty much have to take what they can get. One teacher dead, one's memory erased, one was a werewolf and now one in Azkaban (a bit different in the book). Would you want the job? There's a bit of Dumbledore's backstory in the Fantastic Beasts movies. The information was covered in the Deathly Hallows book but only briefly in passing in the movies.
Rowling later wrote there are schools of magic in North Europe, Durmstrang, in France - Beaubatons, in Uganda - Ouagoudou, in Brazil - Amazon forest, in Japan, in the US - Ilvermorny. They're all co-ed schools. Not as shown here. Hermione was penpal with Krum.
To condense the novel into film less than eight hours long, a few things had to be cut. For example, The World Cup final is greatly reduced -- the movie didn't even show anyone playing quidditch, just the introduction of the teams. Durmstrang and Belle Baton are both co-ed. The hedge maze had other obstacles besides mean plants, like a Sphinx guarding the Cup itself. Lots of other changes here and there.
Verowak, honestly, write a book. I mean: write a book. Yes. WRITE A BOOK!!! Your intuition is astounding, you guessed most of what was about to happen, and some of it way before you had any reason to think about that. Which means that your brain has a remarkable affinity for these kinds of plots. You could write stuff like this and it would be good. On a side note: many of your questions are answered in the book, also some of the foggier or suspicious, rather less logical stuff is clear there. This is the first movie that departs quite significantly from the source material. I see that others mentioned before the twin cores of Harry's and Voldemort's wands. it means that they will refuse to seriously battle against each other. Normally Expelliarmus cannot counter Avada Kedavra (which incidentally is an ancient Aramaic healing spell, it means "Let the thing be done" and it's the origin of Abracadabra), but in some special cases - like this one - it will work in unusual ways. Voldemort has no idea about the twin cores, has has no clue what happened in that graveyard. When twin wands are forced to battle each other, strange things happen. One wand can overpower the other and make it regurgitate echoes of the last spells that were cast with it in reverse order (in the movie Dumbledore mentions the name of this rare phenomena, Priori Incantatem, without explaining it). He does explain it in the book however. And in case you wonder, why did Harry's want overpower Voldemort and not the other way round, a basic principle is this: there's a lot more to magic than just waving a wand and uttering a spell. Your willpower, concentration, character, courage, intention matters. Harry accepted, almost embraced the idea that he will die, something Voldemort is incapable to do. That courage made his wand stronger
I actually have several ideas for books, just need to write them down and then see how it goes. I need more hours in a day 😭. I assumed lots of my questions are answered in the book, which I've decided I have to read once I'm done the 8 movies so I can learn more!! I feel like the whole magic power thing is like a lot of anime characters, and the more emotional the event, the more power the main character has
Each book is written for kids the age that Harry is in the book and features issues that kids of that age face. Hence the love interest and relationship stuff coming in when they hit 14 in this one.
Fourth year, now. You start at 11, so you'd be 14 now. Pretty boy Diggory is in the 7th year. They all were in the top box. The Malfoys because of their connections, the Weasleys were given tickets because Mr Weasley had helped a Minister. This was the most butchered movie. They speak of Sirius as Padfoot, so no one will know. Address the letter to Padfoot, but Hedwig knows to find him. Sirius uses the floo powder to talk through the fireplace. He just pokes his face in the fire and says, Gryffindor Common room. Cho is seen in the previous book, plays as Seeker for Ravenclaw. Kept blocking Harry on his Firebolt because no way she was going to keep up with him. Pretty boy Diggory is Seeker of Hufflepuff. He didn't have to lean that close to Harry and whisper in his ear. There's a Boggart, a strange mist, a sphinx, a spider, a blast ended skrewt in the maze. That Harry encounters. Not bushes pressing into you and wind. He just took a drop of blood from Harry. They share wand cores, so when their spells collide, each tries to dominate the other. Harry holds on better.
@@VerowakReacts When the books started coming out, and later the movies, they aged along with the kids reading/watching them. Back then they would get a book/movie a year and then have to wait. Now we can breeze through it and watch the kids age before our eyes.
@@ronweber1402 That's the one thing I find interesting with Harry Potter, and Stranger Things also. The kids age so if you binge watch several seasons/movies, it's crazy to see how much they age!
Beauxbattons (?) and Durmstrang were also mixed between girls and boys. I think they made this change to make it easier for the audience to distinguish between the schools, idk
No matter how many times I watch it, Cedric’s death, Amos’ grief, as well as the speech that Dumbledore gives in his memory is so tragically impactful. And that’s because not only does Cedric‘s death traumatize Harry, but it gives him the reason as well as his friends to rise up and fight back against Voldemort and the death eaters. Lord Voldemort is played by Ralph Fiennes. If you enjoy his acting as this character, I highly recommend you check him out in DreamWorks The Prince of Egypt; he voices the role of Ramses II. 🪄💛🖤🦡 #RIPCedricDiggory #ProudtobeHufflepuff
My friend recommended me to star reading the Harry Potter books a couple of years ago, and I took the habit of reading each book first before watching the movie. Earlier I had seen the Pitch Meeting video about the Harry Potter franchise and in that I was spoiled about Crouch Jr./Moody twist, but I had totally forgotten about it when I started to read the book. When I got to the part where "Moody" leads Harry away from the tournament and the text describes ominous thumps from "Moody's" peg leg I was like "Oh no, I totally forgot! It isn't over yet!". I can't say many other books have managed to do that. =)
I'm only halfway through the reaction and I'm amazed by how you're predicting stuff so well! 😱 EDIT: Now that I'm done watching the reaction, I think you see what I mean when I say the movies get darker! Now, a few things: 1. Ron is so incredibly terrible in this movie. I think Jeremy fron CinemaSins put it best: "Jeez, Ron's character motivations are so base he might as well just be a penis." 😂 2. Being French Canadian, I can say your pronounciation of Fleur's name at 45:05 is spot-on. 3. At the same timestamp, you mention Krum attacking Fleur. He was under the Imperius curse from fake Alastor Moody/Barty Crouch Jr. That's why he only attacked Fleur and Cedric, because the end goal was to get Harry to the portkey/cup. Crouch Jr is also the one who killed his father earlier in the movie. 4. The way Cedric's dad mourns his son at the end should be sad, but the weird way he shouts "My boy!" makes me laugh every single time. I guess I am going to hell.
I prefer Ron in this movie than the others :D It's not just comedic, dumb character for part of the movie, at least. Being French Canadian, I agree that my pronunciation of Fleur's name is spot-on 😂 Yeah, during my ending in the video I remember that Krum was under Crouch's curse, and why Krum didn't attack Harry, so Harry could get to the cup. The mourning for Cedric was overall sad but, the my boy was a bit odd, caught me off guard
@@VerowakReacts No way, you are French Canadian too?! The absence of any kind of accent really threw me off, bravo! I just don't like Ron's motivations in this movie. I feel that generally, you should believe your best friend anyway, but even more so considering what they already went through together in 3 years, and how Harry is as a person. He's usually very humble and doesn't seek out glory. Also, let's be fair, he should know Harry's not good enough to find a way to put his name in the Goblet of Fire 😂 Ron's character wasn't really handled well in the movie adaptations. He really is much-more nuanced and fleshed out in the books, which isn't surprising at all I guess 😅 I can't wait for you to read them! Sur ce, passe une belle journée! ☀
@@Shinnizle Yeah! I don't have an accent when speaking English, so no one can tell. I've only heard good things about Ron in the books, so I'm very curious to see how it'll be. I find it a bit ridiculous that they changed the character so much, if that's the case
@@VerowakReacts I think it's mostly because they wanted some sort of comedic value out of him, thought it would cater better to theater going crowds? Your guess is as good as mine.
@@Shinnizle Yeah, have 1 character be the funny one, have one be the smart one, and one be the heroic/important one. A bit unfortunate how they did that, but oh well... books are there for better character development!
Don't know if anyone said this but in the books, Beuxbatons and Durmstrang are co-ed (think that's the right word) Not only girls and only boys. And in the book it was Dobby who stole gillyweed from snapes storage, but they cut him from this film.
@@VenomCobrah I'm actually reading them currently!! Books are usually better than the movies, but I tend to enjoy both versions of the characters/story
I enjoy your Harry Potter reactions a lot. If you have never watched the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I'd definitely love to see you react to those movies. I'm sure many others would too. Apart from that, some of the movies I wholeheartedly recommend are Law Abiding Citizen (2009), Coach Carter (2005) and Armageddon (1998).
I WISH I didn't see the MCU :( That would have been amazing for reaction I think. I haven't seen Armageddon yet, actually, so I can put that on the list of movies to watch, thank you!
The movies are not unpredictable. Each movie follows basically the same formula and there are a lot of hints if one is paying attention, which it seems not many people do since they automatically think I've seen these before or read the books 😂
I really enjoy this movie, but I feel like the mystery in this one wasn’t adapted very well. It’s understandable from an animation and budget perspective though, because the linchpin that held the mystery together was houseleves! Dobby was in this book as well as another houself named Winky, who worked for Mr. Crouch. Without Winky’s presence, A LOT falls apart and it’s way easier to figure out the Crouch/Moody thing. In the books, there’s literally no reason to suspect Barty Jr because everyone thought he died in Azkaban. Like, he has a grave there and everything and he isn’t “shown” at all except for in the court memory. He also didn’t do that tongue thing so there were no particular give aways.
That's very neat to know! I guess they added in the tongue thing so people could make the connection and it not seem like a completely random thing. So Dobby doesn't just show up once and is forgotten, it's good to know that the houselves are there throughout the books
@@VerowakReactsYeah after he’s introduced in book 2, Dobby shows up in books 4-7. He’s actually the one who gives Harry the gillyweed, not Neville. In book 5, another of Dobby’s actions is given to Neville instead. Also, in book 4 we learn that the Hogwarts kitchens are run by houselves. They also are the ones cleaning the common rooms for each Hogwarts House. After he left the Malfoys, Dobby got a paid job at Hogwarts. When Winky is fired by Mr. Crouch, Dobby gets her a job there. I think this would have been insane for the production to do. The cost would have been crazy.
@@RiseeRee I completely agree, the cost would have been WAY higher, and I think the way they did it was fine in the movies. Thanks for the info, I love learning more about Harry Potter!
I personally liked Fantastic Beasts series. there's always things ppl complain about with most media. i have my own. that being said, I would be interested in sharing your journey and hearing your take. the beasts part of the story, in itself, is worth watching for
Each of the trio have their wild puberty arcs. They glossed over how crazy she was going in the books but the last one was Hermione's, this one is Ron's, and well yeah just wait till the next one lol
Again, I think there's good stuff in the movies, and in the books, but it's just unfortunate that the movies fixed some problems with the books BUT ALSO inserted new problems. In the movies especially the main characters flaws - as characters, not as people - is that Harry is too much a "special boy" who wins because he's the chosen one rather than earning it. Ron, of course, is too constrained by being put so firmly in the "clown/comedic relief" role... Hermione is too much of a Mary Sue because she gets to keep her own talent from the book but is also given Ron's expertise/wisdom. (She's still probably the best in the movies; her being too powerful is a problem plot-wise, but she actually has a personality to a degree that I don't really think the other two do.) I think this movie might be when the characters start to really come into their own; I really like how Harry shows honor by revealing the first challenge to Cedric. I think that's really the first time in the movies that he really makes a choice rather than being kind of swept along by circumstances. I think the first two movies are fun enough - there's fun stuff in them - so you can have a good time even if the characters are probably too flat, too generic. The third really stepped it up, going from merely a fun plot to an actually good and interesting plot, with a much more interesting conflict. Sirius Black is an interesting villain, Remus Lupin is actually a really likeable character - probably the first time in the series that there's a character who is actually soft, who interacts with the other characters (the main three) and talks to them, listens to them, rather than just trading plot points - and the Dementors roaming the school adds an element of danger, a darkness, that really helps. This one builds on that, I think, in maybe being the first one where the characters actually start to feel fully 3-dimensional. I think the books and movies are pretty obviously flawed but it's also really easy to see why they were so successful; there's a lot of good stuff in here.
Oh, and a few quick things: 1 - Yeah, some people have a problem with Harry winning because it's all handed to him, but as you said: it makes sense because it was a trap. Barty Crouch Jr conspired to ensure that Harry passed all the tests, so... 2 - I agree with you about Ron, BUT in Ron's defense: I don't think he knows yet that he likes Hermione. So I don't think it's a situation like you said. He's just a kid, so he's not really in touch with his emotions yet. He didn't realize he liked her until he saw her with Viktor. And he acted like an ass about it, which... I mean, it's not a likeable or attractive thing, but it makes sense that he was immature about it because he's immature. 3 - Yeah, Ginny wasn't really in 3 or 4 because she's not important in them. Given how her role expanded, you can see how JK Rowling's writing wasn't great, in that the people who made the movies completely cut Ginny out of 3 and 4 because she's not important at all; a better writer would've had Ginny play a more important role, would've spent time on developing Ginny as a character since she becomes much more important later on. 4 - Yeah, Neville is a likeable character. He grows perhaps more than any other character in the series.
I think it's near impossible for movies and books to not have flaws. Some characters are better in one medium than the other, and I'm sure if we has different people adapting the books into movies, the characters would be different from the books and the movies we have. I just really enjoy seeing what people come up with.
If the idea was to have Harry touching a portkey, Moody could have just made something random (like a rock or something) into a portkey and given it to Harry saying "hey Harry, hold this". But then we wouldn't have this movie...
Technically barty crouch Jr was the first to break out of prison but nobody ever knew he was out because he was supposed to of died in prison, it's covered in the books
I'm predicting that you are NOT Gryffindor or Hufflepuff. I think you're too independent for that. I could see you as either Slytherin or Ravenclaw, but I'm going to go out on a limb and predict Ravenclaw. I see intelligence common to both, but not so much the fierce ambition of Slytherin. I'm thinking Ravenclaw.
19:10 Yeah, he doesn't show up, BUT he was in some deleted scenes and he looked amazing. I had a huge crush on Draco when I was younger and his look for the ball makes me understand why :p
I wouldn't say "first time watching" if it wasn't my first time. For example, I won't be watching Lord of the Rings or Star Wars or Alien franchise on this channel since I've seen those before.
Im very impressed, I’ve watched over 2 dozen reactions and your the only one thats guessed why snape treats harry the way he does, that there are other schools, Cedric dies, they had to rescue hemionie and Ron and much more. Well done! I’d be very surprised if you weren’t in ravenclaw. Edit: and you guess the cup was cursed? wow.
The biggest thing that made me think Snape was overall good was at the end of first movie when we find out that he wasn't sabotaging Harry. A lot of things that I guessed were just based off of watching movies and reading books and general storylines :D I do think this story was quite immersive which is just amazing
@@VerowakReacts yes! I had a feeling he wasn’t all bad at that point he could have done muchhhh worse although I’ve heard in the books he’s a lot meaner. We shall see as I’m on the 3rd book. There’s so much left out of the movies. Truly an amazing series. If you don’t have time to read the audiobooks are amazing. There is also a channel called movie flames that’s explains each characters whole timeline. The differences between each book and movie. And other stuff such as what would each characters boggart look like, What they would see in the mirror of eristad, even ranking all the relationships. It’s really in-depth and his channel is amazing.
Krum was bewitched in the maze by Crouch Jnr who also killed his father because he had recognised him. When the movies came out the lack of any International Quidich was very disappointing to most fans. Also a lot of other good things from the book were missing because of time constraints. Not my favourite by a long way.
I think the first one is amazing actually! It manages to have an interesting story and set of characters without relying on the original series too much. The second one is completely garbage, it gets nowhere, but at least it's well done in terms of photography, CGI, etc. The third one I also loved, but the screenplay is veeery poorly made.
I say this is my least favorite adaptation of the series but I still like the movie. I get that the books are jam packed, and movies are limited to time. I just feel too much was left out and/or changed
I do think there's a very different outlook on the movies, which I find interesting to hear. When people treat them as an adaptation, and when they treat them separately. I'm looking forward to being able to know what they're like as adaptations 😍 It's unfortunate that making movies from books causes a LOT of information and events to be removed from the story 😭
Am I the only one who suspects that OP already knows the story and is trolling all of us? OP, your "guesses" do not conform to the norm of a first-time watcher - and please don't try to tell me that you are a story-guessing genius. Nor that you simply got lucky. Your comments are too suspicious to ignore. I'm going to watch this reaction to see if you are genuinely surprised by anything. I suspect that you won't be, but I may be wrong. There is always a possibility. We shall see...
I don't know what to tell you, this is my first time seeing this movie. I do think seeing it as a kid and seeing it as an adult is very different, and easier to predict some things. I guess some things wrong, some things right. I had no idea David Tennant was in this movie, for example. I'm not a story-guessing genius, I will never claim that. Just because I don't conform to the "norm" doesn't mean I'm not a first time watcher. The "norm" is just that... the norm, there are some outliers that don't conform.
I've commented the same thing for someone else but: I honestly think a lot of it is from life experience and reading books and watching movies. I also have in mind that a lot of movies try to have sneaky twists and, after watching a few Harry Potter movies, it seems like a LOT of times, the characters are not who they initially are shown to be (like the Defense against the Dark Arts teachers. Quirrel seems weak and cowardly, but he's the evil guy in the end. Snape seems to be trying to harm and sabotage Harry, but he's actually countering Quirrel. Qilderoy Lockhart is this amazing person that's been on so many adventures but turns out he's the opposite, a coward and one trick pony wizard). So there's a common theme here where the watcher (not sure how it is in the books since I've never read them), is lead to believe that the character is one way, then they are not at all. I also feel like it was weird introducing Cedric so early as a new character, and the fact that they are in a "very dangerous situation" for the tri-wizard cut and "people die", I assumed someone would die, and it's always best if we've formed a sort of connection to them. It's harder to predict what will happen to movies that aren't in a series/franchise
Most first reactors unless never look at the internet have seen references to these older movies. So not surprising they can guess certain details of a movie.
How is the concept of an all boys and an all girls school strange? They exist in the real world. And obviously most schools are co-ed like hogwarts. Not that strange of an idea if you ask me
I find all boys and all girls school just as strange in the real. I've never known anyone who has been in one, and the fact that the schools seem to emphasize the fact the they do girly/manly things is really weird
@@VerowakReacts so things only become valid when you know someone who experienced it? And shocker when you put a bunch of girls in a group and don’t go into detail about the individual it comes off girly. And same goes for a group of men.. wild wild stuff
Honestly freakin love your ability to predict everything (well not everything you know what I mean) is outstanding post order of the Phoenix soon!!!! Can’t wait
When two sister wands duel, they connect and create something called Priori Incantatem, which forces one of the wands to reveal the last spells it casted. In this case, it showed all of the last people Voldemort killed, which include Harry's parents.
I'm sure you've been told already, but Wizarding World has the "Official" quizzes for Harry Potter House. Calling it right now...You're a Ravenclaw OR Slytherin.
Snapey Poo was teaching the Slytherin to dance, just as Miss McG was Gryffindor. Dobby stole the gillyweed from Snapey Poo's stores. They simply made Neville a thief in the movie. People were stealing from his stores all year to make Polyjuice potion. Moaning Myrtle says she's seen traces of Polyjuice potion in the toilet pipes, asks if Harry has been naughty again.
Ron was a much more of a serious character in the books. They made him a bit of a clown in the movies. Character development was way better in the books for all three. Harry being less of a saint and Hemione less of a miss know it all ! Likewise, there was a ton of stuff that got missed out in the movies. There was a very important sub-plot running throughout book four that wasn't even touched on in this movie. The wizarding worlds media attack on both Harry's and Dubledores credibility. That formed the basis for the start of book five and why Harry finds himself on trial before a biased Minister of Magic who clearly believes everything he had read in the media. If you have enjoyed the movies I'd recommend trying the audio books read by Stephen Fry. Well worth a listen if you out jogging or similar.
