The Book Was Better: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Review 

And they wonder why Slytherins act like assholes. EVERYBODY HATES US ALREADY

Although it has nothing on Super Smash Bros... 4 million words and counting...

and word count says nothing about the quality. Is it any good?

@@welme23 some of the Vegas vacation cross over challenge fanfics aren't bad

The My Little Pony fanfic 'Diaries of a Madman' is well-written, and super fun and dark, with 2.8 million words.

Aloha. Bonjour. ...Is anyone here interested in me gathering people for a good cause? To make youtube a better place? If you find the strike-system and all that perfect, well, fine. Ok. But if not, why not visit my Wiki and stop complaining, start acting. Cause, you know, thats kinda more useful and all. I made a Wiki just so i can drop Links there. Links that i gathered over the years, of those being toxic in one way or another. Mobber, Racists, Sexists, those that insult and those that ojectify woman, especially lesbians. Also 'Karens', if you happen to know that online-term. Well, i just wanted to help the plattform and its users in one way or another. If you wanna blame me for that, or help me with it, is all up to you. Just type in: linkprojectforthesakeofeveryone and then add .fandom.com. I'd also be happy to know if you have ideas what else to do then reporting. That and Tweeting some Ceo's are the only things i could come up with, so i gather people willing to also do it (cause numbers are power; dont forget that)... Its my Try.

Actually, as an Adaptation, its not a 5 out of 5 but a 2 out of 5, if not worse, duh. After all, some youtubers listed it in 'Lost in Adaptation'.

Gaby Droz so it's okay for them to not wand up against people they knew (and order of Phoenix did not use AK si they could have just been maimed) but it's not okay for people to not befriend the kids whose parents might have killed someone in their house?????

Yeah, basically it's asking Slytherin kids to attack their own parents and family vs the other houses realizing that the Slytherin kids didn't do anything wrong. and their parents are most likely jerks or murders. If the Slytherin kids only have their family and Slytherin to turn to then they are likely to become the stereotype. If they had friends of other houses to compare their terrible family lives against they might realize that they don't have to become twisted like their pure blood families and peers press them to be. I mean, look at Sirus' family life. If he wasn't a Gryphendor and made friends with James he would have most likely been forced down the same path as his cousins.(Draco's Mom)

I think this statement would be true if the kids in that house weren't such jerks all the time. In the movies, it was just Draco amd his goons, in the books, the Slytherins were always picking on someone, cheating, or being downrighr nasty to people. It's hard to befriend someone who just hexed you and you know their headmaster will not punish them even in the slightest.

@@noraallies598 being a Slytherin is no excuse for being a racist asshole. Horace Slughorn was a pureblood Slytherin, and some of his favourite pupils were muggleborn or halfbloods.

Everyone: *treats Slytherins like shit from minute one* Slytherins: *React accordingly* Everyone: *Suprised Pikachu face*

DiceFTW273 one could argue their ability to stick to power full people as cunning

4:17 is my reaction to Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park.

How is being cunning a bad thing?

DiceFTW273 Except Slytherin is NOT for the cunning assholes. Each of the houses chooses students for a specific trait (and the Sorting Hat also takes your choice into consideration, but we'll put that fact aside for now). Gryffindor for the brave and strong, Slytherin for those of pure ancestry (witches and wizards ancestry only, no half bloods or Muggles), Ravenclaw for the brainiacs and Hufflepuff for the remainder.

cromusic ibra, you are actually wrong. First of all, it's not just one trait, but a set of relateted traits. Second, Slytherin is NOT for pure-blooded (tho, it is mostly pure-blooded house), it's iconic trait is ambitiousness, along with cunningness and resourcefulness. Third, Hufflepuff isn't for the "remainder", it's for ones who value hard work, patience and loyalty.

Nitro Indigo Its called Sorcerers Stone so they could save on the printing cost!

no, it's called 'the sorcerer's stone' because both rowling and the publishers feared that american readers would not understand the meaning of the word 'philosopher', frankly, i don't see the point in the change. if someone doesn't understand what a philosopher is, that's their problem.

Isn’t Harry’s scar acting as a horcrux what makes the Dursley’s so abusive towards him?

It's a mythological reference first and foremost, and a sport second.

THANK YOU! So many people seem to forget this fact.

Not in the books.

@@inkmaster5480 Yeah, at the battle of Hogwarts, Hufflepuff stayed behind with the Gryffindors.

StormCrown Seventh BOOK or EIGTH movie. I am mad about that, but it's over, so just deal with it.

Which doesn’t make any sense because no Slytherin students fought on Harry’s side in the books, they all left before the battle willingly even if they were old enough to take part in the battle. So I don’t get why they would do that in the movie version, in fact Rowling said that no Slytherins fought on Harry’s side, a decent amount of Ravenclaws fought for Harry’s side, and almost as many Hufflepuffs fought on Harry’s side as Gryffindors fought on Harry’s side.

@@slevinchannel7589 how is this relevant to Eric's comment...?

SweenyTodd98 That's why it was dumb for them to cut out the Quidditch World Cup in Goblet of Fire

@@HamzaBoujelouah I was SO disappointed when that happened! Like, seriously, I was so fucking excited to see that match in the movie, and it was just wholkesale cut out completely!

They fuck quidditch up completely. I counted at least 50 fouls in one quidditch scene alone.

Very true. It doesn't get a win but it does end the game. If neither seeker catches the snitch a quidditch game can go on for days maybe weeks.

He mentions it in Chamber of Secrets after he saves Justin. IDR if they did in the book, but Harry said "I accidentally set a python on my cousin Dudley at the zoo last year"

And the onlu reason why he's a parseltongue is because he has a bit of Voldemort's soul in him. Crazy

How?

Gavin Myatt, she is very transphobic.

@@kze2076 What? What are you talking about?

@@gavinmyatt5589 people take her tweets out of context. Her stance is that you should differentiate the term "women" from "trans women" and recognize that they go through different experiences. She also made a tweet about gay children being pumped full of hormones to transition (which people misconstrue as what she thinks of all trans people, but actually refers to the rising percentage of detransitioners realizing they weren't trans in the first place after going through transition). When you read her tweets in context and know her past history with trans rights. You realise that when she refers to people who menstruate as women, it's not as transphobic as it looks. E.g. it's not "trans women aren't women, they're men". She's saying "trans women aren't women, they're trans women". She just thinks that there should be an acknowledgement that trans women are and have different experiences than biological women. Which mind you both of these groups face different issues so it's harmful to lump them in with each other. Most people get her "transphobic" tweets through a secondary source (e.g. drama channels, news outlets) so it's easy for them to pick and choose the context. But once you line everything up you see that she's mildly transphobic at worst. Definitely not "very transphobic" like so many people are painting her out to be. Sorry I wrote such a long comment I just get frustrated when everybody makes herd-minded claims and never look into the topic more. I wouldn't be mad if people don't like her for her conservative leaning views on transgenderism, but I'm not having it when people don't even bother understanding what she actually said. Also it's quarantine so y'all know I have all the time in the world for this.

@@pyjamamc2826 Why is she even talking about this? I know Harry Potter is still popular these days, but was anyone asking her opinion on this or anything really? I'm sure at least one the people she works with it calling her and saying "Joanne, please shut the fuck up about this. Our parks are going to open up one day and have like three more of those shitty fantastic beasts movies we got to make that we want people see. Can you just stop talking about this?" BTW I don't even know she's still working on Potter. Pretty up every this that has come out scene the last HP movie has proven that whatever creative mind she had clearly isn't there anymore.

Celldrom Agreed entirely.

Youll get over it

It sounds better then "Philosopher's Stone." Sorcery is magic philosophy is thinking about stuff. A Philosopher's stone is what happens when Socrates has kidney problems.

Eddie the Head It's called the Philosopher's stone because it is based on a real life legend. The way they forsake the origins and inspiration for the stone because simply _"kids wouldn't want to read a book called the philosopher's stone"_ makes me vapid. Nicolas Flamel was also a real person who was known for being one of the first renaissance *Philosophers* to believe in and draw relation to mythical beings and objects such as the Philosopher's stone and even such beasts as Phoenixes. The reason I don't like the name _"Sorcerer's Stone"_ isn't just because it's what the book is called in my country, it's because it has a certain cultural and historical significance that the American Publishers relinquished simply because they didn't think kids would buy the book. (Even though they do in the United Kingdom and all the other countries where the name is _"Philosopher's Stone"_) The whole situation makes me irate.

That's nice and all. But in the end that's just appealing to origins. I mean I would agree that caring about the origins so much makes you vapid, but I don't think that's what you meant to say. Sorry, sorry I had to say that. Well if I can draw upon my own "cultural and historical significance" as an American. The phrase "cultural and historical significance" are the words you regurgitate if you don't really have an argument. These are the phrases The Confederacy used to justify slavery, and again it's really just a genetic fallacy that got a makeover. Look if you just like how it sounds better fine whatever. However you should stop being so "irate," in your own words, about this. Ultimately it doesn't matter as it's a personal preference on what you think sounds better. Witch is the only factor that really matters. Ironically Dancing Deity had a much better argument, even though it was less well researched.

I think the protection is just from Voldemort specifically.

If you are reading these for the first time that question is definitely something you'd be asking yourself.

I’ve read the books and I didn’t even know that? That’s super interesting actually

I only recently got into the Potter fandom, so, explain plz.

@@JOHNMARTIN-zm6zz basically Rowling is a TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist - although they are really not particularly radical nor feminist, basically they are just transphobes) and she keeps trying to rewrite HP to get brownie points from progressive fans. Don't get me wrong i would love lgbtq+ and poc and so on rep in HP but she did not include it in the books and she hasn't included it when she's had the chance, but she still wants to be praised for it.

eating raw faces is my least favorite thing to do. There was already an established book called magical beasts and where to find them and every single one of the creatures in that movie was in that book so technically those monsters did exist before this movie, it was just brought to our attention now

eating raw faces is my least favorite thing to do. It was explained in the book Fantastic Beasts (I can't remember if it was in the movie) that Obscurials are created from a magical child's resentment of their magic and their attempts to suppress it, often as a result of extreme magic-related trauma. Basically, the only thing that kept Harry from turning into an Obscurial was the fact that he never knew about his magical abilities until he was 11. Otherwise, he would have

ScreamingLadybug I would say that they did read the book because in spite of what the illustration showed, Dumbledore was described exactly how he looked in the movie. He had long silver hair and a very long silver beard, along with always wearing billowing robes in varying dramatic colors. He also had the iconic half moon glasses that he is always described as wearing, the only real thing that I don’t see translated from book to movie is the fact that Dumbledore had a crooked nose from when it was broken when he was younger. So it feels more like whoever made that drawing of Dumbledore didn’t read the book very closely before making the drawing.

All this guy's videos are just summarising the plot of whatever it is he's "reviewing". This is no different. It's just Nostalgia Critic by another name, with the added bonus here of rose-tinted goggles because of childhood attachment to a film which has a lot of flaws.

@@EC2019 Nah, there's lots of his other videos that goes much more into detail with comparing the book to the adaptation, like with his Percy Jackson videos where he frequently brings up differences, which I wish he would have done here, since there definitely is a few issues in here.

Well another guy did a whole series on these books and their differences. His name use to be the Dom but he changed it to dominic noble.

I might do a reactionary vlog for each episode. That would be something new to try at least.

It's gone. Was it taken down by Disney because of copyright. Is there a way to re-upload it cause I think that's my favourite of your reviews. PS: Merry Christmas🍻
