Quite poetic that Lily's love for Harry is what saved him from Voldemort that very first time and now Narcissa's love for Draco is what saved him from Voldemort again. The power of a mother's love
- Dumbledore would never beg for his life. When he said "please" it meant please kill me. - Harry saving Draco is what helped him at the end with Narcissa. - A Doe was Lily's patronus indeed, Snape's patronus morphed into it too because of his love for her. - Tonks gave birth before she died, so her and Remus' son lives. Harry is actually his godfather. - During the Snape/Minerva duel Snape rebounded her spell to hit the 2 deatheaters and took their wands before he fled. A nice touch. I hope you enjoy the books when you read them, they're really good.
& to add, Slytherin's common room is in the dungeon. That is why they were escorted there. Still a crummy thing to do, considering A; not all of them are bad. and B; some of them even want to defend Hogwarts too. But can also understand not wanting to have to deal with the potential occurrence of Students having to choose between fighting their families and fighting their friends.
Didn't happen in the books because of Pansys comment! Mcgonagle let all the legal aged wizards fight, and basically sent most of the slytherins to protection so that they wouldn't have to choose between their family and Hogwarts since so many of them were death eater kids. @@The_Chaotic_Blade
The third point you stated is not 100%. Most likely but not certain. Anyway I don’t wanna give book spoilers but as book reader you would know that anyway, it’s one of those things most fans accept to be the case but we don’t know what Snape’s original patronus would have been so we don’t know if it was always doe and remained a doe due to his love for Lily lasting until his death or if it changed from something else to a doe.
That is what you get when you have an actor who cares about the material given to them. Helena was so commited to the stuff, she gave Emma all her scripts and let Emma act her parts of the movie, between takes, So she could see, how Emma would play Bellatrix. She studied it and so Helena was playing Emma, playing Bellatrix. It was perfect down to the head tilt. Emma also struggled on Bellatrix shoes, so Helena included that too.
Fun fact. The reason Neville was able to pull the sword, was because he was a true Gryffindor. It doesn't explain in the movies, but in the books, Neville could have been the Chosen one from the very start. He was born around the same time as Harry, and Voldemort didn't know which one was the chosen one. So he went with Harry.
It could’ve been both Neville and Harry as both honestly had a large part to play in the downfall of Voldemort while Voldemort was looking to Harry to kill his focus wasn’t on Neville so that helped. I believe both was chosen however it was also a self fulfilling prophecy due to Voldemort’s interference.
I think the prophecy always talked about Harry but it also partly matched Neville to an extent (to an extent because it matched Harry more. It says born as the 7th month dies, Harry was born on the last day of the 7th month whereas Neville was born on the second to last day of the 7th month so more accurate for Harry.) I see it similar to if I gave a hitman a description of someone but it matched another as well. The description matching that other person doesn’t make the target i chose change but it just shows another target matched the description and my hitman could have killed him instead and chose the wrong guy that I wasn’t talking about, in this example Voldemort choosing Neville who the prophecy wasn’t talking about but also matched (nearly matched to be precise.)
The Phelps twins were talking about the scene where Fred is lying dead. Oliver Phelps who played George remarked on how horrible it was to see his twin brother, James, just lying there like that. He said he could never imagine anything ever happening to him, how they’d been together their whole lives. He pictured him really being gone, a life without him, and he just lost it. The crying was very real.
The crying was also down to a spray that was sprayed in Oliver's eyes right before they called action making his eyes instantly start watering lol he was in the mindset of thinking about how it would be to actually see his brother dead but they needed him really crying so they made sure it happened 😂
Yeah , Tuff Scene for them, that is also why they did not extend the scene to much as it was hard on them, As they are not only siblings but also Identical Twins in Real life to.
@@Ezra_Malfoy97 Oliver said it didn’t weigh on him until he actually saw James lying there motionless on the stretcher. I hardly think they had to spray something in his eyes.
His intuition saying it’s probably more balanced in the books as they escape Gringotts on the dragon was so funny because riding the dragon was actually Harry’s mad idea.
29:24 yeah... there's something about hagrid's thousand yard stare as he cradles harry's "dead" body that just shakes me to my core. it was probably horrific for him. he carried that boy as a baby and in that moment he thought he was carrying his corpse, really heartbreaking parallel
Draco’s mum (Narcissa) doesn’t have the dark mark, she technically isn’t one of Voldemort’s followers, you’re right she just loves Draco and does whatever she needs to do for him, if Draco had been on Harry’s side, so would she I think
@@hollie5099 Narcissa wasn't a Deatheater but she supported Lucius and her family to a fault. She had a rarefied position of not being a Deatheater but still being part of the inner circle.
Hey Marshmallows! Was so much fun watching this franchise with you! fyi I will likely do a dedicated video for the anniversary film and recording myself doing the pottermore quiz!
The Harry Potter Saga reacted by you Oscar was sensational, incredible, congratulations, I'm Brazilian and I really liked it. I recommend you react to the Chronicle of Narnia films by Christian author C S Lewis, you will love it.
Thanks for taking us on this journey with you. You’ve had some great insights the whole way through. Been loving all your vids as a reactor, you’ve got such a kind and gentle soul. Keep up the great content! Shout-out from a fellow Aussie 🇦🇺✌️
i always enjoy watching people react when they find out the truth about Snape, they actually threw in a bit of foreshadowing as during the great hall scene, Snape was hesitant to attack McGonagall and he never attacked her, deflecting her spells back including on the other death eaters and then stealing their wands before escaping
I love that detail, it's so quick it's easy to miss too, you could assume it was just McGongall's spell rebounding. But if you take the time to follow the motion of his wand, it becomes clear how it actually happened. I love those kinds of 'hard to spot if you don't look carefully' sorts of things in films.
I'm not entirely convinced that James Potter was Harry's father! He has dark hair like Snape, his mother's eyes.. Snape was there when Voldemort zapped Harry as a baby. Whatever the books say, I love Neville and Luna as a couple.
While the trio were gone hunting horcruxes, Neville, Ginny, and Luna were busy leading Dumbledore's Army. This is why Harry told Neville to "Hold the fort".
@@ItApproachesclearly somebody who has never read the books to know one of Molly's biggest fears was the death of her children. In OOTP a boggart appears as each of her children dead and she is so devastated by this, she can't properly perform the spell to destroy it. But go off on your weird tangent you invented in your mind.
I really wish the movie had shown that after killing Harry, Voldemort's spells weren't working against anyone else because Harry had just done the exact same sacrifice Lilly did. Everyone was now protected against Voldy, showing he never learns from his mistakes.
I didnt like the last duel between Harry and Tom, I would have like to saw Harry patronize Tom, and explain that he is a fool, that he didnt learn form his mistakes, and I like that everyone watched Harry kill Voldemort and Voldemort dying like a normal person like he was snap, He was a regular Wizard and dye like any wizard
@@patriciaalvareztostado8170 I get that aspect of him dying normally.. but I also get the turning to dust thing, as he had technically already died and he was simply returning to death.
@@Galiant2010Yeah I understand and agree with you, but I like that even all the work he put in becoming "the best wizard" and be immortal, but at the end he was just a wizard like the Potters, Cedric, but I understand that for the movie they wanted something more dramatic.
Exactly. And his mother hated Voldemort since ever and was protecting her son Draco. Even could block Voldemort out of her mind when she proclaimed Harry dead to his face. She was immensely skilled in occlumancy.
@@Makkaru112 I haven't read the books but I'm guessing if she was really skilled at occulemancy she could give him a false thought so that if he scanned her for truth he would have seen she thought he was dead.
@@ronweber1402 and the bonus was he often thought most of the wives were harmless so he didn’t often think much of anything they did let alone bothered to ever harm them.
Narcissa Malfoy is another example of how strong a mother's love is. She's been through the same as her husband, yet look at how put together she is. She's so strong and brave, and I think she's why Draco is actually a decent person on the inside.
You're actually one of the very few reactors who wasn't confused about the scene with Draco's mom 😂 very nice to see. I'm glad you enjoyed it, your reactions were a joy to watch as well! I grew up with this series and grew up with Harry, Ron and Hermione, so when you said "imagine if this was how you spent your teen years!", that was actually true for me. The ending was very bittersweet and still to this day, the series means a lot to me
Not sure if anyone in the comments mentioned it already, but when Harry willingly goes into the forest to die, his sacrifice places a protection on all of his friends/allies who are fighting at the school, protecting them exactly how Lily’s sacrifice protected Harry.
Harry became the Master of Death when he had the invisibility cloak, the resurrection stone, and was the rightful owner of the Elder wand when he disarmed Draco. He owned the whole Deathly Hallows set!
@@erikperhs_7th book. Chapter: “The Flaw In The Plan” ““You won’t be killing anyone else tonight,” said Harry as they circled, and stared into each other’s eyes, green into red. “You won’t be able to kill any of them ever again. Don’t you get it? I was ready to die to stop you from hurting these people-” “But you did not!” “-I meant to, and that’s what it did. I’ve done what my mother did. They’re protected from you. Haven’t you noticed how none of the spells you put on them are binding? You can’t torture them. You can’t touch them. You don’t learn from your mistakes, Riddle, do you?””
There's two deleted scenes that I wish the had kept. First, Draco hands his wand to Harry right after he reveals himself to be alive shouting "Potter!", bringing his redeeming arc to a close. And secondly, Voldemort's death. Part of the myth behind his first death was the fact that he was vaporized. No body means a lot of speculation. But in the book he died like a man, a simple corpse for all to see, not that fluttering mess of ash which would've reinforced his myth.
Daniel Radcliffe actually explained he was dealing with alcoholism during Half Blood Prince and he specifically thought his acting was the worst in that film. I say that because I also used to place that as one of the best acting performances in the series but now knowing that he simply acted being 'under the influence so well because he actually was well I don't think it counts and it's really just very sad.
Very interesting you mentioned Hagrid carrying Harry in the beginning because Hagrid carrying Harry in this movie was the first scene JK imagined, and I think it was meant to parallel the first scene. Btw, when Daniel asked if he was going to die, JK said, "You'll get a death scene." 😂 The Draco-Voldy hug was improved by Fiennes, so that's especially why it looked so awkward. 32:39 how the heck did you figure that out?! Lol I hope you continue to watch fantastic beasts. Hufflepuff gets some love!
In the books Hagrid broke down and was crying in a way that’s really go beyond the wailing of Cedric’s father that broke our hearts to hear. Imagine what it’d sound like if they actually put that Hagrid scene from the books into the movie. It’d be too much!
@@Makkaru112 I agree - I couldn't have handled it if they'd put that in! I was crying so much at that point in the book. And I too kept shouting 'he's okay, Hagrid, he's okay!' through the tears.
You are the first reactor I have watched who figured out that Harry had all three parts of the Deathly Hallows, making him the master of death. Congratulations. I am sure I have watched at least 20 reactors of this series.
The falling put between Lilly and Snape was when Snape decided to be a Death Eater. Lilly told Snape that if he valued her and their life-long friendship to reconsider. Snape refused and Lilly cut all ties with Snape. She chose to be Order of the Phoenix. But up until Snape decided to become a Death Eater Lilly defended and protected Snape from the bullying as much as she could
They began dating during their final year at Hogwarts when the were 17/18 & married right after finishing school. They were 21 years old when they died.
@@Rainbow.Pegacorn.Cosplay from what I recall, yes. At Hogwarts, James was bullying Snape and Lilly defended him. James made fun of Snape even more having needing Lilly to defend him and that’s when Snape called Lilly a mud-blood. And that’s when Lilly and Snape fell out.
you're so intuitive and picked up on so many things that most people don't on the first watch! i've loved your reactions to this series and i'm so glad you enjoyed it ❤
I do like the whole concept of how the Elder Wand's own mythos fuelled the false belief it could only pass allegiance via killing its current owner. So much so, that even Voldemort fell victim to this false information. When in reality, it could change allegiance just as easily as any wand. It also fits with Tom's false belief anything powerful must be something dark, and the idea the wand only passes by death would galvanize that delusion.
Also, since he believes "there's no good and evil, there's only power", he doesn't even think about the fact that if the wand could only pass allegiance through killing Dumbledore wouldn't have that wand in the first place.
thing is; is that Elder Wand actually saw Albus as fully competent and so killing wasn’t even needed. Which is why it stayed with him for so long. It’s also why it backfired on Voldemort when his own killing curse rebounded and hit himself and that’s how he died.
You know, Harry technically used two unforgivable curses during the seventh book, with those moments precisely falling on the events of the last movie. The first one was the Imperius Curse that he used on that goblin to enter Bellatrix's vault (and also on a Death Eater that happened to be at the bank). However (and this sadly only happened in the books), Harry used the Cruciatus Curse on Amycus Carrow (the Death Eater that was teaching at Hogwarts with his sister) after he disrepected McGonagall. It's too bad that one moment was cut from the movies, because it was really satisfying. I mean, anyone that disrespects Minerva McGonagall deserves nothing but pure agony. I think that Harry would use the Imperius Curse if he was in a situation like the one at the bank and the Cruciatus Curse if he went over the edge, but never the Killing Curse, since that one is the most unforgivable one (since it takes one's life) and was also the curse that killed his parents and many of his loved ones.
A great finale! I really enjoyed your reactions Oscar. Even though I've seen it a few times, I still cry a few times during this one - and feel the tension and the triumph of the ending. When Ron 'remembers' the snake word for 'open' in the book, he remembers what Harry said to open the door in the "Chamber of Secrets" (which I think would have been a better line in the film). I also loved Snape's redemption arc - such a wonderfully ambiguous character. As far as Severus (and Draco's parents) unpleasant personalities, they were Slytherins lol. As Sirius Black once said, "The world isn't divided into good people and death eaters" - everyone is on a spectrum.

About the patronus of Snape and Lily. In the books they explain to you that basically your patronus is the “manifestation” of your soul in the form of an animal. It can be anything, but if something emotionally deep happens to you, it's form can change. Originally Snape´s patronus was another animal (I think it was a bat), and when Lily died, his patronus took the form of hers (a doe). That's why Dumbledore after seeing the doe as his patronus (knowing that Lily´s was the same) asks him "after all this time?", as in you still have this patronus after all the time that has passed. And Snape answers “always” because he will always love Lily. ❤🩹
Also It is not explained in the movies, but just like Sirius and Peter, James was animagus and he could transform into a deer. So this is funny cause 1) that's why Harry's patronus is a deer 2) Lilly was technically his doe
Seeing Tonks and Lupin dead KILLS ME every time! As well as the deer Patronus. Snape was good the whoe time! Such an epic ending! The boy that played Harry's son, Albus, was the same boy that portrayed Harry as a baby in the first movie!
I’m not surprised but so glad that you are like the only reactor to understand the interaction at the end between Harry and Draco’s mother. For some weird reason every other reactor is confused by that part and don’t understand that she knows he’s alive, asks about Draco and as repayment for Harry nodding his head to answer her (which gives him away) she lied to Voldemort for Harry and said “dead”. It bugs me to no end that no one gets it but I had faith in you. Great job! Great video
I think it's because of how she words it. We know she's checking if Harry's alive and suddenly she says, as if to herself, "Is he alive?" and then, "Draco, is he alive?" as if she's asking her son, who isn't even there, if Harry is alive. She could've just been like, "Is Draco alive?" But nooooo she had to do that weird thing Hermione does where she uses a vague pronoun and then clarifies the subject after the sentence. "Why didn't it work for him? The Elder Wand." "Do you think he would've done it? Draco."
I have seen so many people react to this, and I’m super familiar with the story, but your perspective on it is so unique. I’ve loved your takes and character insights and it’s so impressive that you got it so quickly (literally from first watch) and only from the movies. It speaks volumes about who you are as a person and how you relate to the world and people in it. Honestly and truly. I hope you gain everything you are striving to achieve, you deeply deserve the world
I personally have always felt that although the trio were Gryffindors, they also represented the other three houses, as Harry was part Voldy and therefore was almost placed into Slytherin, Hermione was so smart she could have been in Ravenclaw, and Ron had a lot of things in common with Hufflepuffs, especially his loyalty. I've bingewatched all your HP video's in one day, because I wait until someone has done all 8 movies before watching their reactions, as some reactors take weeks or even months between watching and reacting to the movies. It's been a real pleasure, so I hope you will also watch the prequels to Harry Potter: the three *Fantastic Beasts* movies.
My greatest memory. I went by myself to go see this in IMAX in the pouring rain. 20 minutes into the movie it all shut down. They tried to restart it but it didn’t work so they gave us free passes and set it up in another theater where I got to sit by some awesome guys and after the movie we all went out to the club. ❤
So many reactors see the resurrection stone and assume that is how Harry will come back. The books explain how it happened if you pay attention as you obviously can. Won’t reveal it here; enjoy the read. Great react!
The heroes are the mothers. From the beginning till the end. Harry lived because of his mother’s love and in the end Harry is saved by Narcissa Malfoy’s love for Draco. And Molly Weasley kills Belatrix to protect Jenny. What Voldemort never had.
29:15 She's the daughter of a very old pureblood family who sumpathized with Vodlemort, she is a slytherin and she married Lucius who was always Voldemort's second in command. But, unlike her sister she never joined the death eaters herself and she does defy Voldemort in the end.
Yup, she is Bellatrix's sister. They changed it so much that now I can't remember where Hagrid & Harry "landed" in the beginning of the book where the woman looked like Bellatrix. Was it Tonks' parents?? I felt so bad cuz she lost her daughter AND her husband 😢
You're such an intelligent and observant reactor. I'm blown away that you figured out that Draco was the master of the Elder Wand long before the movie explained it.
I have thoroughly enjoyed your reactions to this entire series!!! You picked up on a lot of things, understood complex scenes, emotions and motivations of the characters which a lot of reactors don’t. Really appreciate how into it you were, not overdoing or over talking, not talking over the dialogues. Thank you for these reactions 😀😀😀
Well Oscar, I think I can officially say that you're my favourite Harry Potter reactor. I binge watched the first 3, then was shocked by how quickly you rolled them out. I'm about to check out your Star Wars reactions. Keep up the awesome work. (New Subscriber btw).
I like their reactions as well as Veggie Gamer & White Noise Reacts. Scene’crly KSO is fairly good as well but she has the habit of pausing the movies every 10 minutes to rant. If she had just continued watching she would have seen that whatever was upsetting her was explained or resolved. I just scrub forward to when she actually starts watching again.
If you think back to the first story, Sorcerer's Stone, you can see that the arc for that story is much like the overall arc for the series: it starts with an innocent child and dreams of hus life being more, gets progressively more mysterious, darker, and more dangerous throughout, and ends with a direct confrontation of Lord Voldemort himself. It ends up as if you knew what the conclusion would be, but you never realized it. Well written plot arcs, for sure.
Great reactions. Since you gotcha some many details of the movie, I want to share something with ya. The whole story began when Lily sacrifice herself to Harry, which granted him a protection that Dumbledore was able to extend until he was at age, as long as he stayed together with the blood of his mother (Harry's aunt). In Deathly Hallows, when Harry went to the dark forest he sacrifice himself in order to save his friends. Because of that, Harry invoked the same old magic that his mother did in the beginning of the franchise, albeit, for not as long as Harry enjoyed. In the books, this can be seen in the final battle, since the author describe that "Harry's allies wasn't being hit by the the enemy's spells". Neat detail, dontcha think? Also, if you crave for more magic related stories with satisfying endings, react to "The Owl House". I'm not going to tell much of the synopsis, I just gonna tell this: it's worth the attention.
Tonks had the baby before the Battle of Hogwarts - Tonks and Lupin had a son, Teddy. Raised by his grandmother, Andromeda Tonks (sister of Bellatrix and Narcissa, cousin to Sirius) and also raised by his godfather, Harry. Teddy basically is a member of the Potter/Weasley family 😊
Watching you craying made me fell conected with this move again. I loved this last one because of the action and background of the history of Snape (inside of the last book there is a whole chapter to explain this and is my favory of the whole saga). Thank you for your reaction!!! See you soon mate!
The falling scene is shite. Such time wasted from other scenes that should’ve been included. And the confetti. 🎉🤦🏻♀️ He was human, the most important lesson!
Lupin’s son (Edward(AKA Teddy) lived with Harry who was the godfather. He lived with Harry who was his godfather and Kreacher lived with them too and grew close to teddy as well as Harry’s son! Kreacher died at the age of around 666
While sad, people forget that most likely even if you disagreed with Hitler or Voldemort very very few would stand up against them especially when their kids lived were in danger. Ex: Luna's dad
I agree with you how well the various actors imitate the personalities of others while using polyjuice potion. In the Chamber of Secrets the actors for Crabbe and Goyle really made you think they were Ron and Harry as did the 3 ministry employees in the previous movie. Super appreciate your genuine heartfelt reactions. Really means a lot.
Oh my God. I have just finished watching your reaction to Deathly hallows part 1, and you immediately post part 2 after that 😅 I know what I’m gonna do now 😊 thank you so much, I enjoy your reactions 🤗
The scene where Snape goes to Godric's Hollow and cries over Lily's dead body is not in the book. At the same time, some of Snape's memories included in the book that are not seen in the film, is Snape apologising to Lily for calling her a Mudblood and the revelation that Petunia wrote to Dumbledore in the hopes that she could attend Hogwarts. When she wasn't accepted she felt rejected by the wizarding world and therefore resented it, which only grew worse when Lily was killed. Petunia pretended to hate her sister when she was in fact just jealous and scared. Harry had realised this to an extent back in the 5th book when he told his aunt and uncle that Lord Voldemort was back. Vernon had no idea who he was but Petunia immediately became terrified, and for the first time, Harry felt something of a connection with his aunt. At this moment, Harry realised that the magical world was more to Petunia than just a bunch of 'freaks'. It was a place that had taken her sister from her when she was a child, rejected her, humiliated her, and later took Lily away again for good. Petunia had tried to escape it and pretend that it didn't exist, but because of Lily she couldn't. She resented Harry so much because he reminded her of all of that. However, she did appear to care for him on some level. In Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Petunia is mentioned as having died a few years after Harry's second son Albus Severus started studying at Hogwarts. It is revealed she kept the blanket Harry was wrapped in when he first arrived at the Dursley's, and after her death Dudley sent it back to him (Harry and Dudley would stay on "Christmas card" terms for the rest of their lives). While it's clear where Snape's loyalties lied, I keep seeing fans argue whether he was actually good or bad. But there is no simple answer because Snape is a VERY complex character. The way he treated Harry was arguably despicable. Even if it was because of James it doesn't excuse it, or explain his treatment of Neville and other students. He was a bitter person and a bully. But, he had played the double agent all this time and he did it all to save Harry, or more specifically, Lily's son. He had lost the love of his life because of his own mistake and hence was remorseful. He transformed and risked his life to save the boy for whom Lily had died. Snape, despite all his flaws, could love. He didn't need to show remorse or feel guilty for Voldemort CHOSE Harry and he had merely told him the prophecy. He didn't directly lead Voldemort to Harry. But the goodness in him made him feel remorse. He could easily have moved on but he chose to make amends. He did not even want anyone to know the truth and he might have died without letting anyone know if he could have. In other words, he did not want to be publicised and cheered for what he did, as it was only done for Lily. His love for Lily and his selfless act towards her son makes him good. The fact that he could love without having been loved makes him good. This next theory further proves Snape was good. Isn't a bit odd he puts up no defense at all when Nagini attacks him? In the HBP Snape makes an Unbreakable Vow to protect Draco, regardless of the danger to his own life. And when Voldemort tries to ask him who owns the Elder Wand, Snape says that it answers only to him. But Snape knows that the wand answers only to Draco. He has been Dumbledore's right-hand man for years and knows exactly how the wand works. Snape sacrifices his life because Voldemort thinks it belongs to him and kills him, but in the end it leads to his own defeat. At that point, Snape was facing a paradox. If he betrayed Draco he would be breaking his Unbreakable Vow. So if it had been anyone other than Draco he could have easily defended himself. But if he had escaped, Voldemort would have discovered the true owner of the Elder Wand sooner or later. So Snape was not only trying to save Harry but Draco as well. Not long after Alan Rickman started to play Severus Snape, J.K. Rowling told him, years ahead of the last book's publication, that Snape had been in love with Lily, and both his protection of, and antagonism toward Harry, came from that. She said she shared that with him because he needed to understand where this bitterness towards this boy, who's living proof of Lily's preference for another man (a man who had tormented him), came from. In the book Harry learns Dumbledore's darkest secret: That he may have killed his sister Ariana, or at least inadvertently caused her death. Ariana had trouble suppressing her magic as she accidentally killed their mother and required constant care and attention. In a duel between Dumbledore, his brother Aberforth, and Dumbledore's friend-turned-enemy Gellert Grindelwald (According to JKR, Dumbledore was gay and in love with Grindelwald), Ariana was killed, and none of them knew who cast the spell that caused her death. Harry and Voldemort's final duel plays out very differently in the book. It is a super intense confrontation in the Great Hall with EVERYONE watching. Harry shares the truth about Snape's sacrifice and the Elder Wand, before using a Disarming Charm to defeat Voldemort once and for all. His death is very human as he drops to the ground and leaves a body behind (they filmed that version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rFMxRv2Zaj0.htmlsi=7pYEUvBtE6wlvAbN). I remember being on the edge of my seat while reading this whole interaction. While the film version is more visually pleasing it just doesn't feel as intense or final. It also goes against the original point that without magic Voldemort died just like any other man, and he was never actually as special as he believed. That's probably what I am most mad about regarding the book-to-film adaptations. In the book Harry uses the Elder Wand to fix his and then returns it to Dumbledore's grave in hopes of dying of natural causes, which will leave the wand without a master and cause it to lose its power. While breaking it is surely safer, it makes no sense why he wouldn't at least fix his wand first, since the Elder Wand is the only wand capable of mending broken wands! JKR felt that in order to show the true devastation of war, someone's parent had to die. After briefly considering Mr. Weasley, she finally chose both Lupin and Tonks as it made their infant son Teddy an orphan, which closely mirrored infant Harry losing his parents in the previous war. In the book, Harry appropriately becomes Teddy's godfather. JKR says she always knew Hagrid would survive because she had always had an image of a grieving Hagrid carrying Harry's body back to Hogwarts, which was fitting, since it was Hagrid who carried him as a baby and also brought him into the wizarding world. So it's funny you mentioned that. Before the final book was published, Daniel Radcliffe asked JKR whether his character would die at the end. After some silence, she gave him the very cryptic answer "You get a death scene". JKR has explained why the part of Voldemort inside Harry wasn't destroyed when he was stabbed by the Basilisk fang: Because he had Fawkes the phoenix to heal him. So before he could be destroyed beyond repair, which is what is necessary to destroy a Horcrux, he was mended. Before the scene was shot where Hermione is pretending to be Bellatrix, Emma Watson acted out the scene for Helena Bonham Carter so she would know how to act as if she were Hermione in this situation. So, essentially, this scene is Helena acting like Emma acting as Hermione acting like Bellatrix. If you watch carefully in the duel between Snape and McGonagall, you can see Snape deflect a spell cast from McGonagall, purposefully killing the Death Eater twins the Carrows behind him. This foreshadows which side Snape was truly on. Voldemort hugging Draco was not scripted but an improvisation by Ralph Fiennes. Tom Felton's reaction of not knowing what to do is genuine. When Harry reveals that he is still alive, Draco was meant to betray the Death Eaters by throwing Harry his wand. The scene was filmed but not included in the final edit: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V6m4vuT_pME.htmlsi=sYwtYueHmVskPSdD. I am still mad they didn't keep it in (or Harry and Dudley's interaction from Part 1). If you really want to cry: In the scene where Harry reveals himself to be alive and everyone reacts with joy, if you look closely at George you can see him turn to say 'Fred' before remembering that he is dead. Harry loses the ability to speak Parseltongue after Voldemort kills the Horcrux inside him. Harry and Ginny's kids' names are Albus Severus, James Sirius and Lily Luna. Ron and Hermione's kids' names are Rose and Hugo. In the book, Neville and Luna unfortunately both went on to marry other people but in my mind they ended up together.
Draco was not a bad guy, he just had a bad father. He saved Harry in the manor because he recognized him but didn't say it, he never wanted him to die... He was disgusted by Voldemort, so did his mother who also saved Harry's life too because of her son. I also love these characters... Very interesting. For sure, Neville was brave, as all Harry's friends. Snape always showed people he was frozen, but he was the crazy lover for life for Lily, he spent his life alone and died for it, ready to do anything to protect her son. That's freaking and pure love, even after death. I love the way Harry understood that and gave the hommage back calling his own son Albus and Severus. Oh, by the way, Harry's son goes to Slytherin's house, with Draco's son 😉 I really enjoyed spending this amazing journey with you, you have clever and touching réflexions. Thank you so much. Love from France 🇫🇷😘
This is just in general , there comes a time when we are adults and we have to choose path ourselves, no matter of parents. He wanted to protect and loved Lily , Not Harry. Yes his love for Lily gave Harry a Protection but not by pure intention , but by Lily being part of the ekvation.
There’s an 8-10 hour re-edit of Voldemort hugging Draco that’s just recycling those few shots over and over. It’s deeply uncomfortable and extremely hilarious
LOVE seeing your raw, genuine reactions to my favourite franchise. You're absolutely hilarious and such a joy to watch! ❤ Can't wait to see what you think!
Agreed, in terms of book to movie translations, they did quite well with this. (I’m protective of both, but the books just paint the movies inside of your head- It hits different. 😅📚)
Its so funny to me that you mention that the Trio must be more balanced in the books because Hermione saves them all the time. You say this right after they jumped on the dragon. Because yes. The movies give a lot of Ron and Harry moments to Hermione. Invluding the jumping on the dragon, thats so out of Hermione's wheelhouse it is in fact Harry that comes up with that plan.
I strongly suggest that you read the books because the ending in the books with The Final Duel with Voldemort is I think far better than the movie it just is better that's all I can say so please read the book and you'll see
I have to tell you Oscar that I specifically bought the entire Harry Potter Collection just so I can watch with you! Is my first time watching the movies!!!
There are more than one anniversary video and a great behind the scenes documentaries that shows several cool things you’ll be blown away by. I’ve got the links if you would like them. ❤
Some context...the Slytherins common room is in the dungeons. Also, in the books that's definitely not what happened. I mean, Pansy definitely wanted to turn him over, but that was obviously not going to happen so they began to prepare for battle (17-year-olds and up) and anyone who wanted to leave could be evacuated through Aberforth's house. The majority of the Slytherins left.
You would enjoy reacting to at least the first two of the Fantastic Beasts films. The main protagonist is a Hufflepuff and teams up with a pair of sisters who attended an AMERICAN school of magic. The main villain is a graduate of Durmstrang, like Viktor Krum. Not only do you get a Hufflepuff's point of view, but you get some of the cultural differences between UK Wizarding World and the American magical community. One of the glaring differences is the nonfraternization of wizards/witches and 'No-Majs' (contraction of 'no-magic'; American for 'muggle'). There's a point, just before engagement in the Battle of Hogwarts, when the twins last speak to each other and Lupin speaks to Kingsley Shacklebolt, it reminds me of Matthew 24:40-42. I'm really curious as to how your Christian self now sees the franchise. Should Christian children be allowed to watch or read this story? Does it damage your faith?
After watching these do you feel they showed the types of things your parents felt would make you stray from their chosen path? To me, they are a morality play that stresses the desirable traits in us all.
I came here to say the same thing as someone else--you may be the first reactor I've seen who didn't ask why Narcissa (Draco's mom) asked if Draco was alive. I honestly don't understand how so many people are confused by it. She checks Harry's pulse. He's alive. So then she wants to know if her own son is still alive, which determines whether or not she helps Harry. And you understood that when you watched it. What a relief.
I don’t know if I want to spoil how Voldemort actually died in the books but let’s just say he was buried at the school grounds as well as the wand never broke, instead remained as a relic displayed at the school after Harry used it one time only to fix his own Phoenix feather wand. He never broke it. But it works for the movie though. ❤
@Makkaru112. Harry put the Elder Wand back in Dumbledore’s grave after he used it to repair his own wand. The Trio went to the Headmaster’s office after the battle & Harry spoke with Dumbledore’s portrait. “I’m putting the Elder Wand”, he told Dumbledore, who was watching him with enormous affection and admiration, “back where it came from. It can stay there…” It was never displayed as a relic & there is absolutely nothing in the books to indicate what happened to Voldemort’s body. All it says is that it was moved to a small room off the Great Hall right after the battle.
I'm sure they wouldn't have buried him on school grounds. Dymbledore is buried on school grounds. That would be disrespectful to dumby and everyone who went to school
Unfortunately the movie didn't explain but the fact that Harry could choose between going back and moving on was because Voldemort used Harry's blood to come back (blood that had remnants of Lilly's protection spell) with that, Voldemort still left Harry "trapped" in the world of the living. I think it's amazing how Voldemort himself sealed his own fate
I always get annoyed Slytherin’s are seen as evil and written off. Slytherin’s value ambition and cunning, which aren’t inherently bad qualities. They have a goal and they achieve it, which means they’re often of one mind and singularly motived. They value fraternity, so they aren’t disloyal by nature , but they also value self-preservation, so they’re unlikely to put themselves in harms way, even if it’s the right thing to do, unless they stand to gain from it. Which obviously, can rub people the wrong way. Unless they really like you, Slytherin’s are always going to act in their own interests, which is arguably the smart thing to do. Narcissa only betrayed Voldemort to save her son because what motived her was family. Presumably she only joined the Death Eaters to keep her family safe in the first place, not because she believed in any cause or had any loyalty towards Voldemort. However, because the Founder of Slytherin was a blood supremacist there has never been a muggleborn witch or wizard sorted into Slytherin, which is often why old, pure blood families like the Black Family desire their children to be put into Slytherin. Sirius Black was the first member of the Black Family to not be sorted into Slytherin, since of course, he was a Gryffindor. But half-bloods like Tom Riddle and Snape were sorted into Slytherin, so having a muggle or a muggleborn parent was allowed, if looked down upon. So although Slytherin’s are more likely to be prejudiced, it’s not a given. Snape certainly wasn’t considering he fell in love with Lily Evans, a muggle born witch, and his father was a muggle. Horace Slughorn was a gifted Potions Master, and his motivation was influence which was why he ‘collected’ (befriended) gifted witches and wizard he taught at Hogwarts so he’d have some pull when they eventually became successful later in life. And Horace wasn’t prejudiced, he’d befriend anyone as long as they were gifted, like Lily or Hermione. However, Horace was a coward, he was, like a typical Slytherin, unlikely to put his own well-being on the line, even if he was the moral thing to do. That’s why he went into hiding after Voldemort’s return, he didn’t want to join either side, he just didn’t want to die. Snape was motivated by love, which is why he sought to protect Lily’s child at any cost, even if he had to sacrifice himself along the way. I doubt Snape cared about the war, he only ever cared about Lily. Unlucky for Snape Lily’s child happened to be Harry Potter. I doubt he set out to die, but I imagine to him, it was was a worth while risk to achieve his ultimate goal of protecting Harry for as long as possible. Voldemort was unfortunately motived by power, so he wanted to become immortal and take the Elder wand for himself. In my opinion, Ravenclaw is the scariest House. They value knowledge above all else and are happy to break any law or rule in the pursuit of knowledge. They won’t be underhanded about it like a Slytherin, they’ll just be straight up ruthless. No surprise Luna’s mother died because an experiment of hers went wrong, dangerous or not, a Ravenclaw will find out the answer. Slytherin’s ain’t gonna risk it. Hufflepuff’s are fair-minded so they’d happily risk themselves if it’s the right thing. And Gryffindor’s value bravery, so they’re not particularly good or bad. They’re probably just the most hot-headed and reckless, but not for any particular reason. The old adage is, ask a Slytherin, a Ravenclaw, a Hufflepuff and a Gryffindor to open a locked door and a Slytherin will pick the lock. A Hufflepuff will knock. A Gryffindor will knock down the door. And a Ravenclaw will simply ask what’s on the other side and why you’re so keen to have the door opened in the first place.
It's never mentioned in the movies, but Neville really was a hero in the waiting all along. The prophecy that Voldermort heard part of to target Harry to kill could have applied to both Harry and Neville, but Voldermort CHOSE Harry (supposedly because he was a "pure blood" so he saw him as more of a threat). This whole story could have easily been about Neville instead.
My takeaway from the books was that every time Snape looked at Harry and his green eyes and black hair, he saw in his mind's eye what could have been his and Lily's son; thus a stinging reminder of what could have been...
I know it's been long since you finished it and giving that you know the ending and main plot points you may not want to but I would strongly recommend reading the books, they add a lot more of character, making them more realistic, hermione isn't perfect for example, and even side characters have really good moments and importance, the lore of the world is also further explored and a looot of plot point make more sense. There are some parts that are connected between books, and if the movies left it out in the previous one then there is a weird way they go about it to try and fix it or they don't explain, maybe hoping you've read the books
I love Alan Rickman with all my heart, but it's easy to forget that Snape is meant to be 31-37 during the films, and Sirius dies at 35, and Lily died at 21. I'm almost 30 now, at the time perspective is just blows my mind.
Well, you've finally arrived at the end and it's be such a pleasure watching your journey. Now for the next step. You might like to take a look at the video of deleted scenes, the one consisting of Aunt Petunia, Dudley and Draco is particularly good and it's rather disappointing that these scenes never made the final films. Then there's the 20th Anniversary special, which was a lot of fun.
Snape had to face that the girl he grew up with and ended up loving who he would never get, chose to be with the guy who gets praised yet bullies him. Snape couldn't just erase his feelings for Lily and so he got bitter and cold, became a Death Eater, but still couldn't lose his feelings for her.
"are they gonna make a new friend out of this dragon ?" No, they're just going to leave it somewhere in the Lake District where it will probably (at bare minimum) eat some poor bastard's dog.
You definitely need to read the books, but I would also suggest watching the fantastic beasts movies as well (first is really good, the other two are kinda, but they give more depth and background to the whole wizarding world)
Funny thing is the entire school lost more and more fear with Voldemort; the students constantly laughing & mocking him. Several professors dualling him simultaneously. Several death eaters were taken by Professor McGonnagal at the same time! Flitwick(the little short half elf goblin teacher took out the death eater that killed Remus Lupin. The movies erased the epicness of it all. Voldemorts dual with Dumbledore from the past movies is also worth reacting to on your channel before jumping into the whole audiobooks on this channel or a separate one. They’re becoming very popular these days. ❤
@@Makkaru112Hermione, Ginny and Luna dueling Bellatrix before Molly went after her. Trelawney lobbing her crystal balls at Death Eaters like she was playing tennis. Neville with the venomous tentacula. Hagrid throwing McNair (I think) against the wall. All of the villagers, centaurs, Buckbeak and thestrals joining the fight with Charlie and Slughorn leading them. Grawp.
@@toodlescae All this is amazing. For the lack of other spells from the adaptation; those scenes could easily show all of those scenes at the very end. If anything else all of that is something that needed to be included in the movies instead of making it allllll about harry and everyone else gets sidelined.
Oh, man.... seeing Fred laying on the floor in the Great Hall dead is heartbreaking, but seeing Ron, who's usually so cheerful, break down in tears makes it worse every time I watch. Also, I *HAVE* to give Narcissa props for straight-up lying to Voldemort about Harry being dead. Goes to show that she didn't have the Death Eater ideology and just wanted to look after her family.
Yeah, you dont mess with mama weasley she will tear the world apart for her family especially after losing her brothers in the first wizardling war and then losing her son in this one no one would touch any of her children again lol shes the kind of mother i aspire to be and am trying to be (and as any loving mother would i would sacrifice myself for my children if i had to, to protect them they are my world as is their father)
In the scene where Draco’s mom checks whether Harry is dead, she asks Harry whether Draco is alive. If Harry hadn’t gone back to save Draco in the Room of Requirement, Draco would have died. I can’t help but see a different requirement if Harry hadn’t been brave and merciful to Draco.
