in the book the twins threw snowballs on Quirrell's head without knowing they actually hitting Voldemort. that's one of the little things I love in the books
Correction , my friend: you MUST read these! there are so many changed scenes that could have made the movies both goofier (in a good way) and more epic@@Monstylicious
I always considered myself a Ravenclaw but every online quiz, even Pottermore, put me in Slytherin. So I started just picking the answers that would most obviously put me in Ravenclaw...which is exactly what a Slytherin would do
I was sorted into gryffindor multiple times but I chose hufflepuff in the end because cozy vibes honestly and I didn't want to be a gryffindor because...well just because...
@@MaGiKRat420bro what 😂 seeing the darker parts of life that we’re naive to as children isn’t psychopathic… that’s just how getting older works. People experience trauma, loss, grief, etc.
One reason i cant enjoy the later ones, they betray the tone of the originals. You dont have to be grimmer and darker looking to appeal to adults. Not to mention if you are a child starting harry potter after it is finished, youre going whiplash from how dark the series gets.
Fun fact: Jamie Waylett(Crabbe) forgot he was supposed to remain seated and angry during the house cup scene and began to stand and clap. Tom Felton(Malfoy) saw this and yanked him back down to prevent the shot from being ruined. It was kept in the movie because the director Chris Columbus and Rowling herself thought it fit the natures of both characters. Also, wanna feel old? Daniel Radlciffe(Harry), Rupert Grint(Ron) and Bonnie Wright(Ginny) are all parents now.
yeah the main three are all my age and someone from my college peer group had his class chosen to be extras getting on the hogwarts express in this film
As much as I usually don't like to agree with Pat I will admit that Dumbledore was playing favorites. Especially if You realize that Voldemort would have never even had the possibility to get the Sorcerers Stone if Harry never even gone down there in the first place.
Robbie Coltrane was 6ft-1in; Hagrid (the half-giant son of a famously-short wizard) is only about 8ft. Average height of a half-giant is about 10ft. Robbie's stunt double was 6ft-10in, and they STILL had to use forced perspective and built-up boots to make him look taller. @@JayJustClippedYou
51:15 "There better not be a face in the back of your head" had me rollinnnnnn 😂🤣💀 I hope you guys do the whole series And "so we're just going to choke this 11 year old out" 🤣🤣
My piece of trivia about this movie: For the end of the Chess game, the movie producers asked IM Jeremy Silman to construct a puzzle where Ron's sequence was the correct move. But in the puzzle Silman came up with, there are actually 2 ways to force mate in 3 moves. Ron didn't have to sacrifice himself. But the other way to win required sacrificing the piece that was Harry. Ron chose to sacrifice himself in stead. Unfortunately, in the movie you never see a wideshot of the board, so you can't tell any of this.
Professor McGonagall was a quidditch seeker also, that's why she bought Harry the nimbus 2000 before his first match. Her name is also on the plaque next to James Potter👍🏼
@@JournoNerd312 no. McGonagall was a seeker in her day. James was a chaser. Fuck the movies making him a seeker. Fred and George tell Harry hes the greatest seeker in a century. James wasnt a seeker at all.
@@ChristopherJames1993 My comment wasn't about positions it was about her being much older than James and should not have been on the same plaque or trophy or whatever.
@@JournoNerd312 Don't you think it's possible that they could've just... updated the plaque over time? Just because they're both on the plaque doesn't mean they're the same age.
I'm a Ravenclaw myself, it's for all the students who value intelligence, wit, creativity and the like. So that suits me quite well. Also, their dormatory is gorgeous, lots of natural light, a great view over the school ground, what more can you want?
I think Ravenclaws true values are more like curiosity and creativity. You can be unintelligent and be a Ravenclaw so long as you want to learn and seek out new information.
@@Restryouis Sure, but intelligence for instance is shared by Ravenclaw and Slytherin, whether you value knowledge/intelligence for it's own sake (curiosity) or for its usefulness (ambition) is what would influence which of those two you're more likely to end up in.
Wands have 2 different attributes: -Wood (Elder, Elm, Oak, etc) -Core (Dragon, Unicorn, Serpent, etc) Sometimes lengths and stuff come into play as well I believe.
Magic can't create food, is one of the Gamps rules for transfiguration. The food are made by house-elfs that works in Hogwarts Kitchens, Dumbledore just teleported the food from the kitchen to the big hall.
One tiny detail I never knew about this movie that I just recently saw was during Oliver Wood's demonstration on what each ball does, Harry is able to follow the Golden Snitch with his eyes while Oliver didn't know where it was.
These are the four houses and their character traits Gryffindor: Bravery and Chivalry Hufflepuff: Loyalty and Hard work Ravenclaw: Wisdom and Intelligence Slytherin: Ambition and Cunning
That tail was never seen or mentioned in the movies again and at this point you've already seen all the movies apparently, but Hagrid never got rid of the tail he put on Dudley, they had to get in surgically removed in the books.
I find it ironic that sending messages by birds was already a thing with Muggles, but while Muggles used pigeons which are fast flyers, Wizards inexplicably use one of the slowest flying birds for their mail.
Dumbledores such an a hole for the points awarded at the end.. i love it 😂😂 Plus this man KNEW he was gonna make Gryfindor win but he baited Slytherin and even changed their flags. Pure mastermind
There’s a theory that at 45:06 Snape had that reaction when looking at Potter and saying “up to something” because he actually entered and read Harry’s mind
Glad to see Rana's love for HP rival my own! I also grew up with these movies, and when I started to notice them omitting things from the books, I was really upset. Its hard to take such dense material and have to condense it into a 2.5hr movie, that's why I am looking forward to the new series. With them having multiple seasons, it will give them the leeway to tell the entire story, bits and balls. LOVE these reactions, KEEP EM COMING! !
Out of this entire movie having separate Houses within the same school is the most realistic part for me. Back in the early 90's I went to a school that no longer exists (Fredrick Douglass MS) and we had color coded houses, on the second floor was Blue House and Red House and the Third Floor was Green House and Gold House (I was Gold House).
I was literally just at the Warner Brothers Studio Tour London this weekend just gone and I know you guys would love seeing the actual sets! Its also devastating to realise so many of the cast have passed away now as well 😭
This was a movie that defined my childhood. It’s the first film I remember seeing in the theatre and SIX TIMES including with friends and family. And that’s not even counting the number of times on VHS and DVD and the times I read the book/listened to the audiobook.It’s still my favorite potter film.
Regarding the house cup, in the books it was made clear the other teachers were straightforward in awarding and taking away House points, but not Snape. McGonagall was the Head of Gryffindor but was harsh to her own students when taking away points. But Snape, as the head of Slytherin, would take away points for things like Hermione knowing all the answers or for students breathing too loud. Of course, Slytherin would have a huge lead.
Aside from the very irritating beginning and end, the reaction was hugely entertaining - I kinda assumed Pat and Spidey would be more sarkey and dismissive, but they gave it a good shot and got invested, and the dynamic was so fun to watch.
So fun fact, the Sorcerer's Stone is actually the Philosopher's Stone like in Fullmetal Alchemist. The legendary alchemical stone said to turn lead into gold. They changed the name in western releases because they didn't think western children would be interested in the "philosopher's" anything. Or something like that.
Pat identifying as a Slytherin with no real knowledge of the houses and what they stand for is such a Slytherin thing to do. Pat, you are definitely Slytherin. I would be shocked if you took the sorting quiz and didn't get Slytherin. Which is something you guys should definitely do a reaction for.... you should all take the most recent sorting and wand quiz on the website!
Funnily enough, this movie has two versions, the standard English version and the American version. The English version has the word "Philosopher's stone", while the American publishers thought the term philosopher would scare the American kids from reading it. So, they rerecorded all scenes where the stone was mentioned, and they are only shown in the American version.
Hey Spidey same here! Raised as JW (no longer a part of it) but somehow the HP-verse found its way into my childhood. A friend of mine (also a JW) lent me the first book when I was 12 and I really enjoyed it.
i can't with Pat's comments hahaha "we can't be flying out here" i'm deadddd but also, Spidey's so rightttt, they DO need a black friend. if they had one, they wouldn't be finding no trouble hhaha
First saw this in the theaters when I was 10 years old. To be around the same age as the kids in this movie, and every movie after it, is an amazing feeling. Such a "magical" time.
It's still funny to me, how the title of the first novel (and the first movie) was changed to stop Americans being confused. Apparently, you couldn't be expected to understand what "The Philosopher's Stone" meant. 😀
Same conversation in every movie lol Pat&Spidey a ask question: Rana: "I'm going to stop answering spoiler questions because they tell you eventually!" Pat&Spidey: "coo.." ::Harry walks forward:: Navi: "See in that scene Harry just walked forward, it's because he has legs that he can do that!"
I’ve been hoping for this reaction from y’all for a long time. Thank you soooooo much for sharing it with us! So excited to watch y’all go on this journey🫶🏻🫶🏻
Looking back on it now, it's crazy to think that when Snape said: "People would think you're up to something." and looked at Harry with that frowning look, he did Occlumency on Harry and saw what Harry knew about the Stone and that Harry thinks it's him, Snape, trying to steal it, while Snape is secretly stopping Quirrel because Dumbledore already knew what was up and set it up like a test for Harry. This ish is wild 😭😭
With the Harry Potter series, I was hooked when they said "You're the boy who lived." I of course knew the story was famous and there were wizards and that Harry was the chosen one character. But for 12 year old me, the idea of being famous for surviving murdering psychopath was both heartwarming and inherently disturbing. It would be like being famous because you were the sole person to escape a notorious serial killer or survive a terrorist attack. All I knew was that even as a kid I looked at that and said "Ok, that's different and intriguing." What I've come to realize now after analyzing the whole series, that's actually a major reason why Harry is probably one of the best Chosen One stories. There is nothing special about him. He is a normal kid that by sheer luck survived a horrific tragedy, and everyone expects him to be amazing as a result. But he's not. The only thing that makes Harry special is how good of a person he is; with the home life he had, it's a miracle he had any shred of decency in him, with his first action on the Hogwarts Express being to share his candy with a kid he befriended. Harry is bound to become the Chosen One because of who he is as a person, a hero. That is such a rare move to take with these stories. Usually the chosen one has a special power, or a special bloodline, or whatever that makes them the hero of the story. But Harry's the hero by his own morals that require him to act when things are set in motion. I've explained this better in the past, but that's the gist of it. I love how Harry's greatest strength is how much of a good, courageous, and strong person he is
So to give the boys some context on the differences between the houses and why people identify themselves with a particular house... each House represents different principals and the students within that house tend to have certain personality traits. Gryffindor - Gryffindors are the most popular house - which, of course they are. Not only are our main set of characters in that house, Gryffindor stands for courage, honor, and chivalry - all great qualities to have.... usually. Gryffindors are basically the popular group. They are the jocks, leaders, and champions. They tend to fill roles in government and law enforcement - and indeed, would also be beat-cops and the ones on the front lines. Where Slytherins are sneaky, Gryffindors are right in your path. Where Ravenclaws are more mindfully focused on study or art and what new things they can learn or create, Gryffindors are present and grounded. Where Hufflepuffs are unassuming, pacifistic, and keep to the background, Gryffindors are bold and brass and loud. They are the heroes and saviors - but they can also be arrogant and overly prideful. Hufflepuff - Hufflepuffs are not the most disliked - they merely are the most unassuming so people assume that they are the pathetic house. They don't get attention because they don't crave attention. Hufflepuffs are the backbones of the wizarding world - or at least, the European division. They are imo, the best house. They are the ride-or-dies. They are loyal, hard-working, caring, and modest. They achieve great things but unlike the other houses - they don't constantly boast those achievements. They are the healers (nurses and doctors, basically), teachers, herbologists, mediators, veterinarians, and fill other roles where they can do the greater good - but behind the scenes. They value hard work, friendship, family, and peace - but are not above becoming a soldier if its necessary. They probably stay out of politics but I imagine they would fill the equivalent role of a beat-cop in wizarding law enforcement. They would def be the ones to deescalate the situation to avoid bloodshed while the others would shoot first and ask questions later. Ravenclaw - There are two types of Ravenclaws, imo... the brainiacs and the artists. They are the scientists, historians, teachers, reporters, and likely fill analytical and communications roles in politics and law enforcement. They value intelligence and creativity. Slytherin - While dark wizards are proportionally more Slytherin than the other houses, not every Slytherin is evil. Slytherins tend to be a mix of ambitious, selfish, and cunning - for some, this does develop into a charming and manipulative personality but others find a way to use that drive for the greater good. Slytherins often grow up to be the politicians, teachers, lawyers, and like Severus, spies and whatever they would call an undercover cop. Many Slytherins come from rich, affluent, and "pure" families where they are raised to go bad and continue the evil their families commit but some do manage to break away from that.
Fun fact me and all my siblings took the sorting hat test and every single one of us is a Slytherin. Then my Gf took it thinking she would get Slytherin also she's a Hufflepuff LMAO.
Imma be real -- i dont use twitter so i feel so out of the loop and none of the tweets i have seen have shown much transphobia, but it is almost set in stone now -- one day she wasnt one day she was -- my biggest problem with her was her save worldbuilding near the end and somewhat fumbling of characters -- but the initial character creation and worldbuilding is some of the best --- However, can someone inform me on how exactly she was transphobic because i really cant quite understand
People getting mad at the movies and games because of the author is so fucking stupid. Some people bought the game and refuse to play it. People are so stupid these days.
Harry Potter’s wand is made of holly wood and has a core of a phoenix feather, which also comes from Fawkes. Hermione Granger’s wand is made of vine wood and has a core of dragon heartstring. Ron Weasley’s second wand is made of willow wood and has a core of unicorn tail hair because his first wand cannot work properly well. Lord Voldemort’s wand is made of yew wood and has a core of a phoenix feather, which also comes from Fawkes. Albus Dumbledore has the Elder Wand: an elder tree and the core of a tail hair of a Threstal.
Yeah, in the books, Fang was a Great Dane (though they used the other term for Great Danes, which is "boar hound"), but the dog in the movies is actually a Neapolitan Mastiff.
If you think anyone should be "cancelled" for their views then PLEASE by all means don't watch their work. You shouldn't get to enjoy their work while your other hand's trying to erase them from history. If you can't separate someone's views from the good work they did, and you think treating people that way is right, then stand by it.
For 5 years now we’ve turned Christmas to “Pottermas” in our home! Literally our ENTIRE dining room is Potter everything!! We have a Potter tree and every year we add more ornaments, decor, and fun diys! I’m 38 and my daughter is soon to be 5 and she LOVES Potter. HP is a classic and will affect generations to come. #always
I am always amazed re-watching this, after watching Queens Gambit, because the actor who played Dudley (Harry Melling) plays a major role (Harry Beltik) and is unrecognizable.
Best way to describe the houses I think is as follows: Slytherin: Cunning and ambitious. They aren't technically supposed to be evil, but they've got big ambitions and will do whatever it takes to achieve them. Gryffindor: Courageous and independent. They're basically the jocks and rulebreakers. Them and Slytherin are the most competitive of the houses. Ravenclaw: Intellectual and introspective. The password to enter their common room is literally just answering a riddle, so anyone who is smart enough can get in. Hufflepuff: Loyal and Dependable. These guys make the best friends but they are also the least ambitious of the four houses. They always come in last place in every competition but the most popular guy in school at one point was a Hufflepuff. Personally, I'm a Hufflepuff, probably due to my lack of ambition and belief in standing up for your friends, but to be honest, I imagine most people could realistically fit into at least two or three of the houses if not all four. Humans are ultimately complex beings with many different facets to their personality, so grouping them into narrow stereotypes doesn't realistically work.
They aren't supposed to be evil, but literally every single student Slytherin we meet in the movies and books is a blood supremacist. All the adults too, with one exception. Every single Slytherin also decided to hide instead of fight in the battle of hogwarts. Slytherin fuckin sucks lol.
@@tortoiseoflegends4466 Yeah, it's pretty unfortuante they were written that way. Contrarily, at the Battle of Hogwarts it was mentioned that every single Hufflepuff refused to evacuate and stayed behind to help fight, even the first years who wouldn't have been good for anything other than being cannon fodder.
me a gryffindor who literally lacks bravery and doesn't take risks 🤡...i don't get how I got sorted into this house because I'm not even close to being what makes a gryffindor a gryffindor lol...slytherin is such a cool house it's just that for the plot the house gets shit on... which sucks because I really wanted to see a good slytherin student fighting alongside the golden trio..
"This can't be real," lol - I love that! When I was a kid, my dad used to watch Star Trek and he would always say: "Well, THAT's not very realistic" - and I would find myself pointing out that he was watching a show with made up creatures travelling through space (and, sometimes, time itself). We lose ourselves so completely in stories that sometimes we forget it's a story and that's the fun of it!!! Very cool reaction!
Obligatory comment that the sorcerer stone is actually the philosopher's stone. It was changed for American publication of the book because they thought Americans would be too stupid to comprehend the word and be confused why its magical... even though they explain what it is.
The food if actually made and placed on identical tables in the kitchens below the great hall and then magically transported. Gamps law of elemental transfiguration states you cannot make food from nothing.
Let me preface this by saying I am Trans. People who call JKR transphobic clearly didn't actually read what she has said & just read articles about what she read. She said nothing transphobic. She just voiced concern that pre-transition trans women shouldn't share sports or changing rooms/toilets with cis women & that trans women aren't real women; because we aren't. We are trans women. That was literally it & as a victim of abuse from a previous relationship, no grace & no hand was was extended to her or time taken to explain anything. They way the twitter mob & mainstream media deliberately mischaracterised her concerns was disgusting to witness in real time. Not sure how anyone can read/watch this series about not judging a book by its cover and how love always wins and say the person writing it doesn't understand or live by these themes.
They clearly have no knowledge on this matter. They are typical social media feminists and activists who only copy paste the narrative their social circle spreads without any idea. I can bet they don't even know what she actually said or what she meant. This mentality is highly alarming
Her opinions are not that nuanced. She doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt. She's had years to get down what others figured out in days. She's still awful.
What does she deserve? Wrath of fake activists?? Getting lynched on internet by keyboard warriors? What she said is the hard biological truth which doesn't need to be nuanced. Come out of this snowflake mentality that world needs to cater to ur hyper sensitive nature. She stood up for women, being an actual women, not "identifying" as one 🙄. The sheer entitlement is astonishing. Acting like u get to judge anyone since u are part of a certain group. Get off ur high horses. World is fed up of ppl like u. "What others figured out in days?" Huh? Those same ppl who still can't answer "what is a women?" The insanity is out of control
Love how the video just starts off calling someone "transphobic" lol. Good way to start off a video, just starting off with hate towards someone for no reason.
Ah yes Harry Potter the story that starts out about a kid in a new world learning new things while fighting bad people that turns into a kid who fights a dude without a nose who enslaves and kills people with no effort
Ok firstly, #Ravenclawfoflife 😂 Secondly, and most importantly, Harrys Owls name is Hedwig, it's a name he found in one of his new textbooks, and she's a girl! Harry said her name the first time in that first night scene in the castle when they were both sitting in the window sill, and he was petting her❤
imo i think it would be better for first time watchers to just react to it naturally and for girls to hold onto their nostalgia and excitement tad a bit low cause its distracting and forces others to react...otherwise i love that you guys are doing this
23:06 Random Trivia~! iirc, in this scene Rupert (Ron) was actually smacked in the face by the broom, and the line “Oh, shut up , Harry” was Rupert’s improv in response to Daniel (Harry) giggling, which they decided to keep for the film. :)
Jk rowling is not transphobic, she simply stated that PADS and MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS are meant for BIOLOGICAL WOMEN, which is a simple fact. No matter what you identify as, it doesn’t change the fact that menstrual products are meant for females. What is transphobic about that?
The Harry Potter movie franchise !! Honestly, i don't know long term what is gonna be the place of this franchise in the history of cinema... It was often wrongly compared in the past to the Lord of the Rings franchise because it came at the same time but really it's way different. In retrospective, none are bad but none of the 8 movies of the main franchise are objectively perfect either( forget Fantastic Beast , they miss the mark after 2). The casting is excellent, John Williams score is perfect, as always, most of the effects holds up, the production is top notch, and the shift in tone after the 3rd was warranted ! Most major negative i see comes from comparison between the movie and the book. Both are different media and adaptation require cutting stuff. For what they had in hand, i think they did alright. What do you guys think ? What is the place of the main franchise movie in cinema ??
Personally I think the Harry Potter franchise is definitely a part of cinema history. About on the same level of LoTR tbh if only because of the undeniable impact it had on an entire generation of children. My kids literally grew up along with the movies and the characters. Not too many franchises have that same affect.
These are the characteristics/traits for all the houses. Gryffindor: bravery, daring, nerve, and chivalry Ravenclaw: intelligence, knowledge, and wit Hufflepuff: hard work, patience, justice, and loyalty Slytherin: ambition, cunning, leadership, and resourcefulness
Why bother if half of you have already seen it, i was exited to watch new reactions not people who have already seen it, don't ignore me this is genuine criticism
jK Rowling isn't transphobic. There's a huge difference between a women who is the a DA survivor standing up for women's rights and being transphobic. Go look up recent court cases in Scotland about Ilya Bryson and you'll understand her point.
