They don't really go into how Snape got the Half Blood prince name, which would've taken 5 minutes. His mother's maiden name is Prince and he's a half blood wizard. That's it.
Oh wow lol yeah that would’ve been a quick but useful scene. I was thinking maybe there was some big reason why & we might learn in the next movie. but nope🤣 just his moms maiden name💀
@@ReelReactionsYT Yeah. His father was muggle, and not a nice one, for sure. So, when he was looking for a cooler codename for himself as a kid, he used his mother's name, and called himself a half-blood prince. Proud of being a Prince, sounding good, and having the bitter irony of hating his mugle father, but still being half-blood because of them.
@@ReelReactionsYT What’s interesting to note that, as much as the Death Eaters profess that pure bloods are the superior magical race, Voldemort and his most trusted ally were both half-bloods. As was Harry.
@@ReelReactionsYT but Snape being the Half-blood Prince means a lot. you just have to follow the story until the end. the only thing which is obvious now is that Snape killed Dumbeldore so he is the highest rank among all death eaters.
@@ReelReactionsYT there are much more details about Half blood prince in the book (actually the sixth book is the best and people mostly hate the movie because it didn't follow the book)in the book at last chapter Harry confesses that he trusted half blood prince book and it helped him to get the secret he wanted from professor Slughorn, saved so many like Ron wisely or students at the battle of astronomy tower(not in the movie)and he never thought the writer of the book is a murderous death eater but a boy looking for knowledge, talent, respect, fun, and power. we also find out that Snape's mother was a successful young wizard who abandoned the wizarding world after marrying Tobias Snape(Severus' Father) and she and her son get abused a lot and that explains why Snape hated his father, why he joined death eaters to find love and respect to avoid more abuse from those in the good side. the book mainly is about Voldemort's past taught by Dumbeldore but Harry regrets if he could teach Dumbeldore how evil Snape is...
13:35 you say you don't like Draco with caged animals but I always thought it kind of draws a parallel to Draco being an animal in a cage. Having to do this thing he really doesn't want to. Having to be this person he really doesn't want to be.
The Brute looking guy at the beginning is Fenrir Greyback, the werewolf that bit lupin as a child. The reason they hid the book was because Harry hit Malfoy with the spell written on one of the pages. It said "for enemies" and he used it despite not knowing the effects.
"Do you remember me telling you we are practicing *nonverbal* spells, Potter?" "Yes," said Harry stiffly. "Yes *sir* " "There's no need to call me ' *sir* ' , Proffesor." -Harry definitely getting detention in this book for sassying Proffesor Snape in DADA class (very sad they didn't have this scene lol) Yes this movie is good, but I like the book so much better. I knew Dumbledore was gonna die at some point but when reading the book, there's the line ' "I'm not worried, Harry," said Dumbledore "I'm with you. " ' then I had the terrible sinking feeling that I knew he would die that book 😭 I almost threw the book when it happened I was so upset.
OMG I NEED THAT SCENE💀😂 & i’m almost glad I watched the movie first, cause if i would’ve found out he died while reading the book, my tears would’ve drenched the pages & ruined the book😭😂 RIP Brian⚡️🦉🧙🏻
@@ReelReactionsYT oh yes definitely. And I really cried at Dumbledore's funeral in the books. And the paragraph they broke me that is Harry thinking about how he had to throw away the idea of having a comforting hand to hold or protection of a parent, because everyone who had done that had died. He wouldn't let anyone else stand in the way of him and Voldermort. "There was no waking from his nightmare, no comforting whisper in the dark that he was safe really, that it was all in his imagination; the last and greatest of his protectors had died, and he was more alone than he had ever been before. " 😭😭😭😭😭 like ok J K Rowling why don't you not only rip out my heart but chop it up too??? (I recently read and watched these for the first time. So like... the pain of this is still fresh and I'm still NOT OK)
"It's going to be all right, sir," Harry said over and over again, more worried by Dumbledore's silence than he had been by his weakened voice. "We're nearly there… I can Apparate us both back… Don't worry…” "I am not worried, Harry," said Dumbledore, his voice a little stronger despite the freezing water. "I am with you." - Harry and Dumbledore escaping the Cave in HBP chapter 26. HBP is by far my favorite book and movie. It’s unfortunate how much was cut out, especially the Battle of the Astronomy Tower and how Ginny was absolutely neutered, but god this movie makes me cry every time Also I loved your reactions dude. You earned my sub!
Reading the previous comments gives me the impression that I'm not alone in favoring your channel. God, I wish we could see full reactions. This chopped up crap You tube forces us to settle for is frustrating. Spending time with you being you is so satisfying. Love is not too strong a word. You can't see it, but I'm rubbing my hands together anticipating the last, two-part installment, Big K.
Ps. We Potter fans wouldn't believe it when we first read the book. It was the first topic we discussed when we met. I admit I was in a state of shock myself. And worse; we had to wait a full year to maybe get any wiser 😄 Rowling has said she cried so hard after finishing this chapter that her husband came running wondering what was wrong. Just that empty feeling, knowing she would never write for her favourite character Dumbledore ever again.
Oh no, I’m almost glad i’m watching these late & not when they were being released cause I could NOT wait a full year to resolve all my questions😭 RIP Dumbledore ♥️⚡️
I'm from Germany and was the only one in my friend group who ordered the English books. I had to wait almost three frigging months until the others got (and read) the translated ones. THREE MONTHS!!! It was so hard to get over Dumbledores death and not being able to discuss every little detail with my girls.
Adding this a year after your remark. We went through the loss of Richard Harris, the original Dumbledore, after only two films. Then Michael Gambon took up the role and carried us through the remainder of the film franchise. Now we have lost Mr Gambon, just a couple days ago. Gambon (Dumbledore), Harris (Dumbledore), Coltrane (Hagrid), and Rickman (Snape); all tragic losses to acting. RIP to them all. @@ReelReactionsYT
so many things to say in such little time so I love watching genuine reactions to Harry Potter and I came across your videos and of course I had to finish them immediately and I am so happy we content and love every second of watching you connect the pieces together . so I went to your your page and I was like oh I have to binge watch all of his stuff to find out that you don't have that many reactions and stuff which is even more mind blown because the way you talk to us seems like best friends like you've been doing this very long time I love it keep killing it
@@ReelReactionsYT of course it helps ur so relatable .I am glad a lot of people are either re watching the Harry Potter series or discovering it for the first time. Besides the troll author the series captures so much joy ,coming of age ,bad vs evil etc . Will u bee doing ur thoughts after u finish the series?
Thanks for this reaction, it made watching this film for the hundreth time like the first time I read the book. I can tell you are caught up in the story!
I love watching your reactions, your reactions are the best out of all the other RU-vidrs I've watched react to Harry Potter, this is my favourite movie of them all :) I can't wait to see the next two
Thank you Nadia! Really means a lot! My Half-Blood Prince reaction has been in copyright dispute for over 2 weeks now😭🤦🏼♂️ YT needs to get their 💩 together lmao
@@ReelReactionsYT they really should.. also after you finish the Harry potter movies, do you think youll react to Fantastic Beasts? i feel like you rlly enjoy watching it
I’ve really enjoyed watching your reactions to this series, and look forward to when they pop up in my feed. For one you just come across as a genuinely sweet and nice guy and that’s always nice to see (people on the Internet often lacking that decency gene!). For two, you get so absorbed in what your watching, even when you don’t say anything, your thoughts are written all over your face. Sometimes I feel I want to be on that couch with you to give you a lil’ hug and squeeze your hand through the tense times! Haha. Keep up the good work. It’s bittersweet there’s only a couple left now… !
Mannnnnnnnnnnnnn legit thank you so much Phil! Really means a lot. People always say “Don’t read comments” but it’s always the best part of my day when I do! Specifically because of people like yourself! & if you couldn’t tell, that’s EXACTLY why I need my pillow😭😂 Idk if I could get through some of these reactions without it😂 I just need something to grab onto & hide behind🤣 Once again though thank you!⚡️🦉🪄
Also, the reason why this one is my fav is because of the book itself, it's got sooo much detail about Voldemort and his family, his mother was a squib just like Filch, she came from a wizarding family but couldn't do magic herself, his dad on the other hand was a muggle, he mentions it in the chamber of secrets when he tells Harry he didn't want to keep his name after his father so he changed it to Voldemort, I think the main reason for them to be introducing the love potion in this movie is because of the fact that Voldemorts mother used it on his father and that was she got pregnant and had Tom, after years of giving Voldemorts father the love potion she felt guilt and stopped giving it to him, he then left when the potion weared off and from what I remember his mother died? And then Voldemort ended up in the orphanage like you see in the first memory of Tom riddle when dumbledore goes to visit him. I don't really read books, but the Harry Potter books are amazing there is much more of those memory "scenes" in the books, the talk a lot about how the "Gaunts" (voldemorts mothers surname) we're proud to be parseltongue etc. The potion that dumbledore was drinking when trying to get the horcrux, was a potion that replayed every bad memory you've had in your life, it's not a spoiler really but in the book Dumbledore was taken back to the day that his sister Ariana died, in the last movie you'll be told briefly that Dumbledore sacrificed her when trying to gain his power, I'm not exactly sure how that happened or what they meant by it as I haven't read the last book yet, but hopefully they will explain it a bit better :)
@@hamilton2861 sorry it says "Whilst living with her abusive father and brother, she produced poor magic, more often than not preferring to cook and clean without it, leading her father to refer to her as a Squib" so you're right, she wasn't 🙂
Ariana died when Albus, Aberforth and Grindelwald were like fighting or something and a spell accidentally hit her. Or at least that's how I remember it.
Hey thanks Jean! Darn RU-vid and their copyright disputes made me wait a whole 30 days to post this one😭 but ditto! I’m glad you’re here to react with me! 🍿👀
Just now getting to these. I really love your genuine reactions. I feel like I'm watching the movies again for the first time. The magic is still there.
Worth the wait as usual!! 😁 What a journey it has been, yet so much is to come, there is so much more to learn and to be revealed.. I wish I could experience watching these movies for the first time again, but since that is not possible the second best thing is without a doubt to experience it through the eyes of another. You should for sure do a sorting quiz to find out which house you're in ( I believe you are either Gryffindor or Hufflepuff) Looking forward to your next reaction!!
Thank you Erica! It’s bittersweet to be winding down on this franchise not gonna lie😭 I had no idea i’d like them THIS much. Also I did take the Sorting Hat Quiz! I think I revealed it in one reply to a comment already but I wanna reveal it to the world in my next reaction! I did NOT expect what I got🤯⚡️
Another great reaction. I’m a little late cause I set a reminder for the premiere but didn’t see the reminder 😅 at least I tried. Yes RIP Dumbledore ❤️ looking forward to your next reactions 👏🏻
Been forever since your last reaction with Harry Potter and now all I need to do is counting down to 3p!!!! I think you are one best reaction of Harry Potter films!!! I have watched twice too many of reactions of Harry Potter but I am more looking forward seeing you and your pillow?? YAY!! I would watch Harry Potter everyday only if I could!! Harry Potter forever!!!!
Well thank you Tracie! Thanks for popping into the livestream too btw! I eventually wanna get a custom ‘Reel Reactions’ pillow with the logo on it😂 HPF!⚡️🦉♥️
im thinking the same thing, His reactions to the harry potter movies are my fav out of all the million youtubers ive watched react to them (yes i have an obsession with harry potter) i watched this reaction 5 days ago and i keep checking if he has reacted to the rest haha
Y’all are too sweet Ryan & Nadia😭♥️ i’m currently waiting on the copyright dispute for my reaction to ‘Half-Blood Prince’, it’s been in dispute for over 2 weeks now😭🤦🏼♂️
These movies and those books ae NOT sequels; they are all of them one epic. JK Rowling wrote them all of a piece, as an integrated story, over the course of 17 years. She went back and forth over them, to tie together all the parts, interweaving them throughout, planting foreshadowing and introducing language and concepts so they hit strongest where it matters. So no, these are NOT sequels, they are parts of an episodic story. Look at how Draco is dressed as he leaves the train after petrifying Harry and breaking Harry's nose. Then think back to the last film, when Harry was riding the train to Hogwarts and dreaming of Voldemort standing on the train Platform in London. Aren't they dressed in the exact same clothes? With Draco in this film an agent of Voldemort, isn't this foreshadowing? I've always said this film is Draco's film. His character hits its darkest note before Draco begins to reconsider what he's doing and how it's affecting the people around him. It's this film Draco begins to feel regret and begins to see his father Lucius in a different light. I always have to wonder where the story would have gone if Harry didn't surrender to his own vengeance, if Harry had questioned why Draco was crying in the boys' lavatory (instead of having a vicious wand-duel with him).
Thank you Thatiane! I’m going through older comments that got lost in the mix of hundreds of comments, & im happy to tell you Deathly Hallows Part 2 is finally unblocked! Had to wait the full 30 days for copyright dispute on ALL my HP reactions🤦🏼♂️ but tomorrow (Friday) at 5PM CT!!! I hope to see & talk to you in the live chat!💛🦉
Thank you Kennedy, for the reaction! I found you today, and I am so thankful it's my day off from work, because I have been binge watching most of your videos today. Can't wait for Deathly Hollows - Part 1! Keep up the good work, you found a fan in me!
Fun fact: Snape's Avada kedavra didnt killed Dumbledore. In order for an unforgivable curse to succeed you really need to mean it. Snape didn't meant the spell bcs he didn't wanted to kill dumbledore. Dumbledore died by falling off that tower.
I think you might be a gryffindor. Could go hufflepuff cause there's that kinda warmth about you. But i think you have more of a stronger kind of energy too. Like...a defiance in your gaze. So based on not knowing you at all in the slightest, I'll vote gryffindor 😆
Oooooo okay I can see that! If I had to choose one for myself I think i’d have to go with Gryffindor as well, so you hit the nail right on the head haha🦁⚡️
Slytherin’s are ambitious & can be cunning, which takes intelligence. They can also be brave when they need to be. Ron was wrong when he said there wasn’t “a witch or wizard who went bad that wasn’t in Slytherin” because Peter Pettigrew was in Gryffidor & he turned evil. There are plenty of good Slytherins.Prof Slughorn & Andromeda Tonks (mother of Nyphadora & sister to Bellatrix & Narcissa) are a couple.
By the way he said Ron should drink the Felix Felicis before the game, I think he might be a Slytherin lol Edit: I just read the rest of the comments and saw that I was right 😂
Hi Kennedy, thumbs up for your videos. It's like watching it with a friend on Harry Potter night :D Did you get officially sorted into a Hogwarts house already on the wizardingworld homepage? I saw you've got Harry's, Voldemort's and Snape's wands already ^^ Might be fun to make a sorting video 😁👍 cheers
Oh dear i missed it :/ better late than never though:) been so busy but finally i can relax i hope you are doing well Harry ok liquid luck is hilarious
Yessss, sassy Harry on the Felix Felicis potion is the best Harry, haha~ I'm looking forward to your reactions to the upcoming movies. They're quite intense.
You are absolutely adorable & your reactions are so genuine. I'm just enjoying watching you grow to love these films as much as all us Potterheads do ☺️ look forward to seeing you complete them and perhaps onto the books too! Keep up the great content, lots of ♥️ from South Australia xox
Oh wow all the way in South Australia huh?! Thank you Heather!! I’m without a doubt gonna read the books once I finish this reaction series, & also EVERYTHING else HP related😂 Definitely getting the new video game. I have the Hogwarts Battle board game but nobody to play with😭🤣 Once again though thank you, your words mean more than you think!♥️⚡️🦉
I have finally met someone who appreciates ‘The Prestige’ as much as me. One of my absolute favorites and really wish I could watch it for the first time again.
Just subscribed! Hope to see more movie reactions from you in the future! If you have not already seen them, I'd love to see you react to the MCU or Star Wars!
Awesome video keep up the good work & I really love this movie so far & it was my favorite Harry Potter movie ever & Harry smile is so adorable & I believe that harry is enjoying his time in Hogwarts in his six years & no nightmare will not hunting him down tonight no matter what & u & me will be there for harry right by side no matter what in 2022
I was delighted to find your video! I do like your reaction videos 👌☺️ I can comfort you with the fact that the attack on the Burrow was an invention by the director. It's not in the book, in the book the Burrow is heavily protected by the Ministry of Magic, while Harry is there. Makes sense.
They cut my favorite scene from the book. DUmbledore meets the Dursleys. Many things 1 Why Harry had to go back to the Dursleys each summer 2 that Petunia had made a deal with Dumbledore 3 it started Dudleys redemption arc, which the movies just had to cut.
Awww It's interesting that everyone doubt Dumbledore actually died in that scene at first, when I watched it tho I knew he would die, cause my cousin had me a spoiler he died in this movie, this is actually my favorite book I cause it has a lot more about Snape background story and Voldemorts too, a lot more about them and interesting details they didn't put in the movie, I think is one of the books with more extra details for the story in general.
It’s uploading as I type this! Just gotta wait on Copyright Disputes which take anywhere from 1 hour to 30 days😭🤦🏼♂️ But I gotta say Deathly Hollows Part 1 BLEW me away🤯
Let's raise our wands one more time, he whose name is Kennedy has returned. Really like your reactions, so best of luck with YT copyright strikes, I wish you and hope there won't be any others in the future. Fingers crossed…🤞
My brother (having read the books) leaned over during this movie premiere and whispered, “Dumbledore dies” just as the movie was starting. I stayed in denial the entire movie until the heartbreaking end. 🥺 So looking forward to the last two!
Fun fact: the guy who plays Ginny's boyfriend in this movie has a brazilian dad. He speaks perfect Portuguese and he's currently on a new brazilian movie, so I'm seeing him in a lot of interviews here! It's sooo crazy to see him speaking Portuguese after having watched him in all 8 Harry Potter movies and all of the How To Get Away With Murder seasons.
this movie is amazing and super fun when separated from the book, but as a fan of the books (this one’s one of my favs too), it’s honestly probably one of my least favorite of the movies. it’s a great movie but a terrible book adaption. they removed or greatly diminished a lot of key plot points and scenes, such as a full fledged BATTLE between the Order and the Death Eaters after Dumbledores death that resulted in ron’s brother Bill being mauled by a werewolf, the story behind Snape becoming the half blood prince, back story on other horcruxes and on voldemort, tonks has a background storyline throughout the book with lupin that’s really interesting imo, i could name ten more. And, after taking out all that, they added in something that was completely and totally non existent in the book: the attack and burning of the Weasleys house. literally never happened. death eaters never showed up at their house, nothing. the tone is also shifted quite a bit, the majority of the movie is a teen rom com, whilst in the book the romance subplots aren’t as huge to the story proportionally, and the atmosphere is a lot more foreboding. hermione opens the morning paper and ron asks “anyone else we know dead yet?”. it doesn’t bother me too much that they amped up the relationship drama, that’s stuffs good fun, but they completely ruined and undersold ginny’s character and she and harry’s relationship in the movies. she’s completely different in the books and i LOVE them together, in the movie it feels very different. anyways, there’s my little half blood prince rant and promo to read the books (the audio books narrated by jim dale are AMAZING to!). I love your reactions, excited to see what you think of the grand finale! :)
H K! Going through older comments that got lost in the mix & i’m glad to say i’m not only doing great but also Part 2 of Deathly Hallows premieres tomorrow (Friday) at 5PM CT! Life has been really hectic but i’m back to weekly uploads! Thank you for your concern though, means more than you think!💛
Sorry it took me a bit to check in and watch been a bit busy. I'm still just surprised you've never seen these movies they were the thing when we were in middle school.
I’m legit mad at myself for putting them off for this long😭 I always thought they were children’s books/movies and BOY was I wrong lmao. I think I might have to dive into Lord of the Rings next!
I think you are a Hufflepuff. Though I wouldn't be surprised if you got Gryffindor. Have you taken the test to find out your house? Or what about the one to find out your Patronus?
Not sure if you're going to read it, but since I've seen no comments on which house you should be in, I'm telling you: YOU'RE 100% GRYFFiNDOR. You disliked Snape first time you saw him, you hate Draco Malfoy, even see him as a rival, you relate so much to Harry and Ron, and above all this, you look like the kind of guy who likes to help people who is unfairly mistreated and confront the bullies. That, sir, is exactly the Gryffindor profile :D And actually, I didn't need to wait up to this movie to think about it. I knew you were a Gryffindor from the first movie already! Congratulations!!!
Hey Cozy, i’m going through older comments that got lost in the mix of hundreds of comments & I have the answer to your question! Tomorrow (Friday) at 5PM CT! & next friday i’ve got a Harry Potter Documentary Reaction dropping! Then the HBO Anniversary & Fantastic Beasts! But I hope to see/talk to you in the live chat tomorrow! Cheers!💛🦉
Hey man- this didn’t post on your homepage, or in your videos, it also didn’t send out as an alert. It only posted in the Harry Potter playlist (that is why the view count is so much lower) I’d re post it man :)
Oh wow THATS where my problem was ahaha. RU-vid had a copyright strike on this video so I made it “unlisted” until it was resolved (they made me wait 30 whole days🤦🏼♂️) and it was still somehow getting some views and I could not figure out how. Guess that’s it! lol. But FINALLY it’s free and ready to be released into the world😂🍿
Well hey thank you!!! I’m kinda sad that I only have two more movies left😭 the HP fan base has been SO welcoming & loving to me, I don’t wanna lose em😭⚡️🦉🪄
Half-blood prince is a death eater title as it emphasizes the blood priorities and shown the similarities between Snape and Voldemort as they both hated their muggle fathers. Half-blood Prince=Lord Voldemort Same philosophy
Okay hear me out…. it’s from Walmart!😂 They’re really stepping up their game! lmao I literally buy anything ‘Kennedy Space Center’ related that I see, so I couldn’t walk past that🔥🔥
its genuinely amazing how simple minded you are when it comes to this series. well maybe you're just that in general but watching you react to this has been pretty enjoyable for the fact that your views are so different to everyone elses.. almost everything you've tried to predict you've got wrong. things that are literally spelled out for you.. I mean.. prime example is when you met Luna properly.. your reaction was 'I dont trust her' lmfaoo I actually lol'd
I am alright, and I am here to stay! Reel Reactions will be uploading videos probably FOREVER😂 Once I finish the Harry Potter franchise uploads will be more frequent, I just didn’t expect RU-vid to copyright strike me and not respond for 30 days until the dispute just expired🤦🏼♂️ BUT the 30 days is over and its finally premiering tomorrow at 5PM CT!! Would love to see you drop by if you’re not busy!⚡️🍿
Loving these reactions! ^_^ They actually just released lots of gameplay of the new Hogwarts Legacy game coming out! I'd looove to see your whole reaction to the state of play if you havent already seen it! The game looks amazing 😊
I actually haven’t seen that yet! So i’ll without a doubt do a reaction! I’m sad that i’m winding down on the movies, so id love any other Harry Potter related reaction ideas! Thank you Dwight!😂⚡️
*walks up on stage & slaps Dolores Umbridge* “KEEP MY WIZARDS NAME OUTCHA F**KN MOUTH” 💀nah but fr lmao thank you Matthew you’re too nice! I don’t think i’d even make top 100😂🤣
