First Time Watching... Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban!! ~ reaction ~ 

Brad after the Pettigrew reveal: "I KNEW IT!!!" Brad, five minutes earlier: "I bet the rat turns into Buckbeak"

Nobody cares but since Ron is my favorite character I always have to shout out how one of his biggest and bravest moments were taken from him and given to Hermione. “If you want to kill Harry you’ll have to kill us too.” Is originally his line and it makes me upset every time cause these movies messes up his characterization so much

Brad yelling at Malfoy to use purple shampoo just added three years to my life

when brad made a Sirius (serious) joke i cackled because everyone in the Marauders fandom collectively agrees that a young Sirius would CONSTANTLY make jokes like that 🤣

I just want to add that lupin really thought that Sirius was the one who betrayed Harry's parents. He thought his best friend had betrayed them for 12 years. And then harry says he saw peter on the map, and lupin, Sirius, and James made the map so he was sure it was correct. So he realized in that moment his best friend was innocent!

the fact that ron said "you asked us a question and she knows the answer! why ask if you don't want to be told?" to defend hermione from prof. snape in the book and the dialogue that doesn't appear in the film really haunts me forever 🥲

The Patronus appears in the form of your inner animal. Harry’s is a stag and he thought it was his dad because (this wasn’t in the film but is in the books) Lupin tells him that his dad transformed into a stag when they became Animagi as kids. Lupin (Moony) was a werewolf, so Sirius (Padfoot) became a dog, Peter (Wormtail) became a rat, and James (Prongs) became a stag so they could keep him company on the full moons without getting hurt. They were also the original makers of the map. Edit: An Animagus is a witch or wizard who can turn into an animal. McGonagall is one - she can turn into a cat (we see this in the first film).

the fact that harry's aunt gave her dog alcohol is still so crazy to me...

So there always has to be an additional explanaition of what was left out from the movie: Lupin was bitten by a werewolf at the age of five. So from that time on he would turn into a werewolve once a month. Therefore he believed he could never go to school. Until Dumbledor became headmaster and allowed him to go to hogwarts. He joined the same year James (Harrys vater), sirius and peter did. They became fast friends being all in Griffindor. However lupin didn't tell them what he was because he feared they would abandone him. Even though they were little trouble makers the were very smart and figured it out anyways. Instead of abandoning lupin the wanted to find a way to help him. So James and Sirius and later also peter became animagus (a year long and very difficult process - that was illegal because they never told anyone). The animagi form is always something very significant for their character. Sirius a little wild and reckless, but a puppy at heart turned into a very large dog. James a strong loyal but also proud friend turned into a stag, and peter....the traitor became a rat... SO now that they could turn into animals at will they could spend the full moon with lupin. Because the bite of a werewolve only changes a human. He can hurt animals but he could not make them werewolves while they were animals. As james and sirus were both large and strong animals they startet to become more daring and all four of them (while lupin was transformed into a werewolve) started to explore the castle and the grounds together. Because they spend so much time exploring they decided they needed to preserve some of the information they gathered and the together they created the marauders map. Lupin is moony (the moon you know), Padfoot is Sirius (a dogs paw), James is prongs and peter is wormtail (for the ratstail). SO the map harry has was actually made by his father and his friends. And that is why Harrys Patronus the spell you use the fight the dementors is also a stag. A Patronus spell done correctly also turns into an animal that is very symbolic of your character. James and Harry are so alike that his patronus was a stag just as his fathers.

Petition to get Brad into the Marauders fandom, IMMEDIATELY

The way you confidently said "Peter Pedigree" had me cackling hahaha

14:56 btw Ron actually defended Hermione here in the book, saying "You asked us a question and she knows the answer! Why ask if you don't want to be told?"

The brief pause before you realized Buckbeak was sentence to death killed me 😂😂

One thing that isn’t mentioned in the movies is that the marauders map was made by messrs moony, wormtail, pad foot and prongs are none other than James Potter, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin! I will forever be upset that they didn’t put this in the movies!

I'm ready to see how long it takes Brad to realise that Lupin was in Enola 2

Brad is all of us as adults realizing how unsafe Hogwarts was 😂

Lupin didn’t know that Sirius was innocent until he saw Peter on the map! So for 12 years he thought his friend had killed his two other friends, trauma tbh 💔💔💔

When Brad said “why do they have them at a school?” about the dementors I laughed, cause the amount of times I’ve said these same exact words watching these movies is wild. Hogwarts is literally a death trap.💀

i always come back to the harry potter movies they’re so comforting

This is probably my favorite hp movie out of all of them. The whole feel of this one is just so ominous and darker than the two before, and the whole time travelling sequens!? ugh I just love this one 😍

CAN I JUST SAY THIS: that scene at 14:56 where ron says “he’s got a point you know” IS NOT IN THE BOOKS they did this sweet boy dirty because what he actually did was look at snape and go “you asked a question and she knew the answer!!” defending her. i cannot stress how mad this line makes me, so i just thought you should know before you get any wrong ideas about ron 🥺

Sirius and Remus - two best bros just being dudes bros, definitely not anything romantic or any sexual tension at all… *”Lupins eyes were fixed on Sirius”* FOR 40 LINES

In Harry Potter, different people's patronus take the form of different animals. That's also why Harry thought he saw his dad coz his dad's patronus was a stag as well.

YAYYYYY THIS IS PROBABLY MY FAVE MOVIE FROM THE HARRY POTTER SERIES!!! ALSO YOUR CHANNEL IS GROWING SO FAST BRAD!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Moony (Remus Lupin), Wormtail (Peter Pettigrew), Padfoot (Sirius Black) & Prongs (James Potter) were the Marauders (they created the map) James, Sirius and Peter became animagi (they could transform into animals) when they found out Remus was a werewolf because they wanted to essentially be his support animals during full moons. Sirius turned into a dog, Peter turned into a rat and James turned into a stag. Remus and Sirius explained all this while they were in the shrieking shack so thats why Harry thought he’d seen his dad when he saw the stag, he thought it was his dads ptronus, but it was in fact his own. Having other animals around made Remus feel more in control of himself while he was a werewolf so it was really beneficial for him and it meant that they were INCREDIBLY close friends so you can imagine how he must have felt when he realised that he’d spent 12 years hating one of his best friends just to find out that it was actually his OTHER best friend who was guilty, one of the biggest betrayals in history fr

The recasting of Dumbledore really was one of the best castings of all time imo. He really embodied the complete authority but not too serious character that Dumbledore had in the books.

😂 I love how confused by the "Reindeer" patronus situation you are. They really don't explain things very well in the movies sometimes. Everyone's patronus takes on the form of a different animal for each person.

You know you're reacting to one of my favourites out of the whole Harry Potter franchise I absolutely love this one so I hope you enjoy it too🥰❤❤

Each person who can do the Patronus spell properly will have a unique Patronus form. Harry's is a stag because his father was an animagus - a wizard who could transform into an animal, like Sirius Black can, and the animal his father transformed into was always a stag.

I really loved this reaction!! I just wanted to clarify that Remus Lupin really thought Sirius, who was his best friend, betrayed Harry's parents, I think it's an important information because it adds more depth to their story, but it could also just be my inner marauders stan lmao

I just gotta say your editing takes me out every single time lmao, especially these drag race inserts are always fkn perfect and btw this is not explained in the movie (among lots of other things) but the reason Harry thought it was his dad at the lake is that a full patronus takes the form of an animal and Harry and his dad both have a stag

It's never explained in the movie, but moony, wormtail, padfoot, and prongs are Lupin (werewolf), Pettigrew (rat), Sirius (dog), and James Potter (deer), it's why Harry thinks the Patronus was conjured by his father. A Patronus is a manifestation of your true self, and Harry's is his father's animal form

Dementors are attracted to bad memories. They go after Harry the most because they feel Harry sadness after all the background he has. In the books it is clear that Harry carry a sadness in him and the dementors love this, that's why the Patronum need a strong happy memorie to be conjured. And the "kiss" is when the dementor feeds enough and takes all the happiness from the person living only dispare, is like they make the darkness so big in the person, that all the light lives the person

Love that we started off the year with blog Brad!!! Also the new mic is bril and can’t wait for all your content and success this year babes ;)

hands down one of the better hp movies

this is definitely a fan favourite more than an action packed film ! sirius and remus are like the most beloved characters to the fandom so happy that you reacted

It is so incredibly refreshing to see someone with absolutely ZERO HP knowledge watch the movies or read the books. I don't even remember my first experiences with the plot bc I was so young but got very quickly into the fandom and was literally known as a HP encyclopedia to my friends. It's so cool to see someone experience the magic :)

The second one is still my favourite - because it's kinda the last one that gives you a lot of that weird medieval magical vibe. Mostly because it had all those in-castle scenes.

I'm sure that other people have probably told you but Harry's dad was able to turn into a stag so that's why Harry's patronus takes the form of a deer. After they found out that Lupin was a werewolf, his friends learned how to become animagi so that they could be with him during his transformations, Peter became a rat, Sirius became a dog, and James became a stag. (Also, fun fact, Harry's mom's patronus was a doe because her husband was able to turn into a stag) Also, the four friends, James, Lupin, Sirius, and Peter, were the ones who made the marauders map and the nicknames that are listed on it are their own nicknames. James is Prongs, Lupin is Moony, Sirius is Padfoot, and Peter is Wormtail. I really wish that the movie talked more about these things because I really do feel like they make a big difference.

i laughed so hard when he thought the rat would turn into buckbeat 😭😭

By FAR my favorite movie in the franchise, maybe my favorite movie EVER. The directing, the acting, the story, the humor, its a beauty

the way i’ve been literally checking your channel for the past two days waiting for this video 😭😭

i literally love brad he’s the best and funniest youtuber fr 😭🫶🏻

Explanation (WARNING, some of this is speculation as JKR didn't say much about the pre harry era.): When Remus was a kid he was bitten by a werewolf called Fenrir Greyback (future character) yet despite this, Dumbledore invited Remus to Hogwarts. The school let Remus transform during every full moon in the shrieking shack, and the whomping willow was planted as a counter measure so people wouldn't come across a transforming Remus. When the Marauders (a fan name given to young James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew, as they made the Marauders map.) found out about Remus being a werewolf they became animagai (? spelling) aka the ability to become an animal (James Potter- Prongs- a Stag, Sirius Black- Padfoot- a black dog, Peter Pettigrew- Wormtail- a rat, Remus Lupin- Moony- a werewolf) in order to help Remus through his transformations. Full moons are very painful for Remus and his scars are from scratching himself due to being alone during transformation (before the Marauders found out). Also people say the Shrieking Shack is haunted, but it was just Remus bashing around as a werewolf. Also during their time at school Snape and the Marauders had a rivalry and one time Sirius told Snape to go to the Shrieking Shack, even though Remus was transforming that night. That caused Remus to accidentally attack Snape and James had to save him. Thats why Snape knew Remus was a werewolf and in one of the movies Dumbledore says "James saved his life" (something along those lines). ALSO Sirius was assigned the Potter families "Secret Keeper" (he'd be told everything that the Potters would do, where they'd stay during the war ect) but he felt he was not worthy of it so the title was given to Peter, who was actually a death eater. Peter gave all this information to Voldemort who wanted to kill Harry due to something thats a spoiler. (SPOILER!!: Voldemort read a prophecy!!!) :D also Harry's patronus is a Stag and his mother, Lily's, was a doe. A female deer. So they mesh together so cutely!!!

It’s really cool that such a big budget film from such a popular franchise became, essentially, a director’s showcase. 👏

Omg Brad Ilysm ,cant explain how excited I’ve been fir this

I have seen this movie literally a couple dozen times. It is my favorite Harry Potter movie. How have I NEVER noticed buckbeak taking a dump before?!?

Yay, I’ve been looking forward to this! In regards to the petronas charm, it takes the form of an animal. It can be anything from a cat to rabbit, stag etc. And your Petronas can change to the same as someone that you love, or have a connection with. Hence why Harry’s is the same as his dads. Fun fact- you can take a quiz online to find out what your Hogwarts house, Petronas and wand are 😊

Brad:"Of course! He's not gonna give you a f*cking hug is he? You don't break out of prison just to say hi to someone!" Harry Potter fans: About that...

The patronus thingy: so in the book that white light-shield is a protection against dementors only (the face suckers) known as patronus charm. Now a patronus takes shape of different animals for different individuals. For harry it's a stag and same was for his father, James Potter. Basically it says that at times of danger, Harry sees his father in him. Aka even dead his parents are alive inside him.

Babes this is the turning point of the series 😮 it’s getting darker but I love it and I hope u do too. Prisoner of Azkaban was one of my favs😰

I love the point you did towards lupin and the 'WOLF, SHIT!' afterwards, it was amazing

after so many watches i still cant get over the way Snape entered the class lmaoo he came to WORKKK

finally!!!! waited for this forever!! perfect movie for the first reaction of 2023. love the editing so much throughout, got me laughing a lil too hard also, first hehe!!!

I personally love this movie out of all the others. Mainly because Harry gained two amazing people in his life, Remus and Sirius. His dad’s two best friends; Harry learned how much others cared about him and his parents. If you push aside the dementors and the idea of Harry being hunted, this is quite honesty his most peaceful year at school compared to his other school years. Love your channel! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Your reactions to these movies crack me up! This is my 2nd favorite movie, after Order of the Phoenix, which also features Sirius and Lupin quite a bit. They're my favorite characters!

This is my favorite movie of the films , mainly because it did such a good job of maturing the tone and setting. Along with being a strong technical film.

Yesss I’ve been waiting for this icon Brad to put up this video I’ve been binge watching your other videos religiously in the meantime ❤️❤️

21:42 How did you go from saying Peter was the rat, the correct answer, to scabbers being buckbeak😂😂 I love you❤️

BRAD. FINALLY! I don’t know if it’s because I missed your reactions or because this is one of my favourite HP movies, but this was EVERYTHING ❤

“ofc! he’s not gonna give you a fucking hug… you don’t escape from prison just to say hi” 😭😭😭 actually…. that would be correct

Brad!!! So happy to see this upload today! Prisoner of Azkaban is such a legendary staple in the series, really enjoyed this reaction friend! 💖

I started reading books of HP when I was 11, now I'm old and just lost all of this excitement for these stories especially after what Rowling said receintly about LGBTQ community. You brought it back with your excitement and thank u for that. The 3rd movie is absolutely my favourite.

This was my “fall asleep movie” for YEARS! It was so fun to watch you see it for the first time. Can’t wait for more HP! 🧙🏼‍♀️

YES! I've been waiting for this I'm so excited for this series 🙌🏻 😍

ohhhh boy, I'm so excited to watch you watch the rest!! There is SO MUCH to come! Aaaaaaa

This one will forever be my favourite HP film. Buckbeak being saved, Hermione punching Draco and her werewolf howl was everything! Plus I always had a weird crush I Lupin, don’t judge me! 😂

These HP reactions are just pure comfort!! Thank you for all your hard work Brad!!

Sirius is my fave character and a lot of peoples too, loved this reaction ❤

Idk how i found this channel but honestly You had me CACKLING. Love it, keep doing you.

Patronus has a certain form- of an animal- that will be explained in the 5th movie. Btw the new actor of Dumbledore said he wanted to create a totally different image of Dumbledore in memory of the original actor. The first actor was sweet and friendly. This actor wanted to make Dumbledore look mistic, darker, dangerous etc.

I am loving these videos! much love from Canada ❤

your snape impression was on point😂👌

The pure joy I feel every time brad uploads increases every time ✨♥️♥️♥️♥️✨ deserves all of the clicks 🫰👆🫰👆

Love this film!!! Watch all these films every year and now we get to watch them with Brad, how awesome is that!!!!!! 😁💚

FINALLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY, oh my lord!!! felt like ages since the last one

Don't you worry Brad the evil is coming. It's so fun to watch you experience this for the first time :)

soooo much fun watching you watch these!!! prisoner of azkaban is in my top 3 of the franchise, looove this movie and book!! i used to absolutely adore this series (watched/read a million times and even played quidditch in college) but it's been hard to enjoy lately bc i really do have a hard time separating the art from the artist... jk is such a p.o.s. 😭 buttttt i digress!!! i have forgotten what it was like to watch these movies for the first time, and seeing you experience the magic firsthand is just so fun and i enjoy your reactions overall anyway!!! man idk if this made sense but whatever i just said is full of love i promise

I still don't understand to this day how harry was doing magic outside of hogwarts, but we leave that aside. Love from Brazil 🇧🇷 🫶

In the marauders fandom number 1 rule is ship sirius and remus. No debate they are everythinggg. Also Sirius making serious jokes is real af

YESS IV’’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REACTION👍👍😁😁

This is still my favorite one. So much character was added to it (the shrunken head, the shots with the Whomping Willow). I just really enjoyed the feel of this movie. It’s also the first movie we really get to see the characters out of their Hogwarts robes and in every day attire, and even when in robes, main and side characters add flare to theirs- rolled up sleeves, loosened ties, etc. Even though there’s important exposition left out and I have several critiques throughout this movie, overall it wins in vibes for me.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!!!!! ❤😁😁😁

not Brad saying Scabbers is going to turn into Buckbeak 😂😭

Can`t wait for your reaction on the 4th one!

Without fail, your reviews make me laugh so hard every single time. I’ve been a bit bummed of late because you’ve been reviewing things I haven’t seen. So this has been such a treat!

Watching for the wolfstar

This is my fave of all of them. I love the going back in time element to it. Also Harry and his godfather❤️ can watch this one over and over. When I read the book for the first time, the plot twist was amazing!!

9:18 no it’s not that’s his wolf boyfriend

I love it when Brad calls the characters incorrect names ‘Harry wanna go to dinner with hagity’. ‘Oh hi harmonica (Hermione)’

Oh! If you found this one to be pretty slow paced, there is definitely more happening in the next one, way more excitement!

They make an effort in the books to explain that since Harry's dad could transform into a stag, his patronus was a stag as well, which got passed down to Harry, but it's COMPLETELY skipped over in the movies leaving us UTTERLY confused..

I’m so happy you’re doing Harry Potter! I LOVE THESE and yes I agree with what you think about jk Rowling 🤮 ❤️

“I disagree, why was it sucking on me if it was looking for Sirius??” Just spat out my coffee 😂

Remus is a favourite of mine. The queer subtext of Sirius-Remus (two outsiders, both middle age bachelors friends since their school days, transforming/transfiguring into an other self, buying a joint gift for Harry - a god child, and you know... queerness=magic), and the werewolf condition as a deliberate metaphor for AIDs was very obvious upon first reading. It's a shame that every character with clear queer subtext is eventually made straight, aka queerbaiting. BTW, I love your reaction editing. Honestly, the best on RU-vid!

The marauders is the of the friendgroup of off Harrys parents which included Sirius Balck, Remus Lupin, James Potter and Peter Pettigrew

IDC WHO SAYS WHAT Sirius and Remus are a gay couple 😌 Even the actors thought they were until JKR gave one of them a wife two movies later 🙄🙄🙄

Daily dose of brad before school :DD

I still support JK Rowling.

This was always my favorite movie out of the series. And also OST- wise, it´s GORGEOUS. The vibes in this one are just immaculate.
