[@lyds6382]

Absolutely one of the best parts! I have a hard time with the deathly hallows film adaptations and how they changed important things that matter, but this was excellent.

[@ZonProductReviews]

Just a heads up, the movies don't tell you but when the death eater's take over the ministry they make Voldemort's name taboo. A spell so that anyone who says it out loud can be tracked instantly. It's how they found Harry when they left the wedding, it also pops enchantments so even if you are hidden they can find you. Ron overhears this when they're getting the locket from the ministry and tells Harry and Hermione, that's is why Harry stops saying his name.

[@NecramoniumVideo]

its also the same spell they used before, so thats why people were so afraid to say his name.

[@simonandersson2762]

Correction. Ron hears about the taboo when he had left Harry and Hermione. When they had left the minestry he asked them to not say the name because he felt it was a jinx or something. When he returns to them he tells them about the taboo

[@VJP8464]

Yea what’s weird is that I could have sworn that scene was just in this movie by default…. I distinctly remember Ron stopping them from saying his name and explaining that he heard someone at the ministry say his name was cursed, though idk maybe I just been seeing a version that included the deleted scenes

@@gatroy13 Are you okay there? I can't stand spoilers as much as the next person but some people prefer watching films and don't ever read the books. Also, this explains the name reasoning for the last film. so it's not a spoiler for the films at all. I am primarily a film person but I will admit they never explained the title's meaning. I literally watched the films in theaters and never knew why he specifically was considered the Half-Blood Prince until seeing this comment just now. I've only read the 1st 3 or so books? I think I started the 4th but it's been so long I don't remember where I left off. Again, some people just aren't readers and want explanations provided for them. Reactors typically will watch the films first so they get a genuine 1st reaction. I'm sure he'll still enjoy the books if he ever reads them going into it only knowing that one piece of knowledge. It's not like he spoiled the entire ending of the series before they finished reacting/ maybe reading it.

[@miroslav.hlavicka]

@@deadsetondreams1988 - Funfact: When casting for the Czech dub of Snape, the dubbing director told the actor who would eventually dub Snape, "Snape must speak in Czech as if he had a golf ball in his hand and was trying to pulverize it with his speech." When the chosen actor arrived at the set, he had a ball ready in the dubbing booth. And he said he actually squeezed it vigorously during the dubbing of the first film to help him with proper Snape diction. Thus, Snape is dubbed very well in Czech as well, though of course Alan Rickman's original voice is superior.

[@JeM130177]

If I remember correctly, they watered down what happened to Wormtail here (Rat Face). In the book he has a slight moment of hesitation in harming Harry and therefore is forced to strangle himself to death with the silver hand Voldemort gave him.

@@11BscoutNG I agree too. With every reaction I watch, I like the movies less and less. They butchered the story.

Bill delivering the news of Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody's death is worse when you know that their actors, Brendan and Domnhall Gleason, are father and son in real life.

Just a reminder...the wand chooses the wizard. They don't always work well for you if you just pick one up. That's why the Snatcher's wand when Harry first uses it has an unexpected result on the flame.

[@ejtappan1802]

To kind of answer your questions about Dumbledore's dad killing muggles, there is a whole backstory of the Dumbledore family in the books, and it does tie into current events but it is also an obvious choice of what you would cut from the movies. At the same time, it is important that Harry be given reasons to question Dumbledore's motives because Harry now has to choose between hunting the horcruxes (Dumbledore's directive) and pursuing the Deathly Hallows (which seems to be an obvious path to victory). So, the movie sneaks in little snippets to give Harry moments of doubt about Dumbledore, but I personally think they didn't do quite enough because I have seen so many people not get why it is included at all.

[@amadhatter3280]

59:10 "Why isn't Harry saying his name anymore?" Its not explained in the movies but Ron figured out that whenever they say his name Death Eaters would suddenly appear within minutes of them saying his name, the name was cursed so anyone (aka The Order or those that opposed Voldemort would've been the only ones that would actually use his name) that said Voldemort the curse would alert the Death Eaters to the location of whomever said it. Side note: The movies did Ron dirty as a lot of his big moments (like explaining what a Mud Blood is or being the one to defend Harry from Sirius when they thought he was a villain) were given to Hermione to elevate her as "the smart one" in the films & made him the comic relief character.

[@lyds6382]

Harry and Hermione had actually stopped saying it only because Ron hated it so much, they didn’t know about the Taboo yet. After Ron left they continued the habit, and Ron found out about the Taboo while he was away. He thought they knew because they weren’t saying the name, but in the very conversation where he’s asking them about it Harry says it was a bad habit, and that he still had no problem saying Voldemort.

The movies remove this scene, but in the books, Wormtail dies in the Malfoy dungeon. He catches Harry and Ron trying to escape and begins strangling Harry. However, Harry reminds him of how he saved his life by not letting Sirius and Lupin kill in Prisoner of Azkaban. Wormtail then shows the slightest sign of remorse, and the silver hand that Voldemort gave him turns on him and begins choking him, as Voldemort put a curse on it that would attack Wormtail if he ever showed signs of betrayal. Despite Ron and Harry trying to pry it open, they couldn't and Wormtail was strangled to death by his own hand.

22:22, Remember what Olivander told Harry in the first movie, "The wand chooses the wizard." You can use someone else's wand, but unless that wand chooses you, it might not work correctly. Yes, the story of Dumbledore's father killing three muggle boys is true. In the book it's explained that three muggle boys were taunting and tormenting his very young daughter (Dumbledore's sister) trying to make her show them how she was doing the things they saw her doing, i.e. her magic. Their taunting and tormenting were so bad that she withdrew into herself and suppressed her magic until she 'went mad'. 1:13:54, That's why Harry, Ron, and Hermoine never said Voldemort's name. Voldemort put a curse/spell that if anyone said his name out loud it would immediately give away their position and the Deatheaters would know where to find them.

[@alexmckee4683]

Unfortunately the films don't show this but Snape is actually from the same small town in the English Midlands as Harry's mum, Lily, and her sister, Petunia (Harry's unpleasant aunt) and for a while observed them silently watching as Lily discovered her magical abilities. Because he, Snape, was a half-blood he was always aware of the magical community but Lily was a muggle-born, like Hermione, so she had no idea - Snape was actually the first person to tell her about the magical community. There's a reference in the Order of the Phoenix book to Snape but Harry doesn't understand it at the time - Petunia says she heard "that awful boy" telling "her" (Lily) about Dementors guarding Azkaban prison, years ago. Harry assumes Petunia is talking about his father, but she's actually talking about Severus Snape.

[@bea9631]

1. yes hermione's parents had no memory of her existing anymore, she did it because she knew Voldemort would go after them to get to Harry. however the spell is reversible so once the war is over she can bring their memories back 2. something that isn't explored in the films is why they have to leave the Dursleys when Harry turns 17 - the spell that Lily cast on Harry when she died for him was so powerful that it was also held by anyone who shared her blood (Aunt Petunia) so as long as Harry was at the Dursley's he was magically protected by Petunia's blood. that's why Dumbledore made Harry live with them and go back to them every summer even though they treated him so badly. but once Harry became an adult the protective spell would break so he was no longer safe there 3. Sirius left all his belongings to Harry when he died and in the wizarding world that included the house elf Kreacher. even though Kreacher hates Harry and hated Sirius he has to obey his master so any instruction Harry gives him now he has to obey it. it doesn't matter whether he wants to do it or not 4. Voldemort has put a curse on his name so that whenever it's said he instantly knows where that person is, he knows the only person brave enough to say his name is Harry so he did it to try to find him. thats how the death eaters found them so quickly in the cafe and in the woods. I can't remember exactly when the trio find out about the curse but they stop saying his name because of it 5. (this isn't explained at all in the last movie so its not a spoiler, its only in the book) Dumbledore's father didn't kill 3 muggles, Dumbledore's little sister Ariana did. she was attacked as a child by the muggles after they caught her doing magic in her garden and she accidentally killed them so her father took the blame and her mother locked her away as she feared the power of her magic. Ariana's magic just got more and more out of control and she ended up accidentally killing her mother too. Dumbledore was supposed to look after her as the oldest child but he went out on adventures instead, leaving it to his brother Aberforth who was very resentful towards him for it. when Dumbledore returned with Grindelwald he and Aberforth ended up duelling because they were so angry with each other and Ariana got in the middle to try to stop them but ended up dying. Aberforth, Dumbledore and Grindelwald didn't know exactly whose spell had killed her but Dumbledore always blamed himself

[@lyds6382]

Regarding number 5, in the book Dumbledore’s father did kill the Muggles. Ariana was little and they saw her through the fence doing magic. As Dumbledore says they got upset when she couldn’t show them the trick and “got a bit carried away trying to stop the little freak doing it.” It destroys Ariana, so her father hunts down the Muggles and kills them

[@whytortureiswrong]

And that's why he kept repeating that it was "all his fault" when he was drinking the potion that made him mad in the cave with Harry in the previous episode. The potion forced him to live his worst memories over and over again

26:23 motorcycles with sidecars are fairly rare, but its supposed to be more comfortable than riding tandem, especially behind someone Hagrid's size.. In the US, the sidecar is on the motorcycle's right, here they are in the UK so its to the left, away from oncoming traffic.

I love the explanation of how Voldemort's a good boss and he knows how to delegate. 😂

[@supergirlvideoclips894]

They don't explain in the movie but Dumbledore's father was justified in killing the muggles. They SA'd his daughter Ariana

[@myroselle6987]

Also, not to give anything away (spoiler alert) it’s also explained in the “Fantastic Beasts” movies that this caused her to become an Obscurus due to her refusing to use magic but being unable to control it.

[@JordiVanderwaal]

Wait did they explain that in the books? Because I don't remember it. T-T

[@myroselle6987]

@@JordiVanderwaal I don’t remember reading anything about Dumbledores sister being an Obscurial in the Harry Potter books but it’s in the “Secrets of Dumbledore” Fantastic Beasts movie. I do think it’s explained in “Deathly Hallows” about Dumbledores Father. I’m not positive but I think so. My impression, though, was that she was assaulted because the boys found her practicing underage magic. Afterward she refused to use magic but wasn’t able to control the power that she had… much like Credence in “ Fantastic Beasts”.

⁠​⁠@@myroselle6987I didn’t remember it being an SA but that muggle boys assaulted her - which could mean more than SA - and she was never the same.

@@phillyphan1225 I agree… I don’t remember it being a SA either but it’s been a minute since I’ve read the book. I’ll have to check now or it will drive me crazy…lol.

Saying of Charity Burbage "I wonder how many classes she taught to Draco" is a really good point I hadn't ever thought about. What must be going through his mind in that moment?

[@ZTM12]

23:36 she didn't teach Draco. She taught muggle studies. For them it's an elective of sorts.

love seeing people who truly connect with and love this series, theres no faking that. you guys are true fans, great reactions.

[@tattycakes2k2]

Thank you for spelling Quýnh! I love the laughing crying intro montage, her sobbing is all of us 😢🥲

[@zmileyy]

I love hearing about your thoughts and theories before you start the movies. 😊

[@dennisonvlee2999]

Half blood prince was already explained in the comments of that reaction. You need the books, the movies will not explain it. Snape is halfblood. His mother was pureblood, his father an abusive muggle. So when Snape came in contact with the death eaters, he wanted to play up his pureblood side, not just because of who the death eaters are, but also because he hated his father, and his fathers name.

[@learobinson4450]

His mother’s maiden name was Prince & since he wanted to emphasize his connection to her & her magical family he adopted the moniker “Half Blood Prince” while in school. There’s no mention of him using it once he left Hogwarts.

[@nicolelandberg543]

It's funny how Snape and Voldemort are similar in this respect. Both had muggle fathers they hated and who abandoned (I think in Snape's case abused) them, I always felt that's part of the reason why Voldemort put so much faith in Snape, a sort of bond

[@1pknail]

In the book, it's explained that there's a jinx on Voldemort's name. Because only people in open defiance of him say the name, it's an easy way to find dissenters. It's why the Death Eaters show up immediately when Xenophilius says it.

[@EMILYELIZ4BETH]

Can I just say I’ve loved both of your reactions to this series and I’m kinda sad it s coming to an end 🥹🖤

[@kellymcnett8138]

Something they don’t mention in the movies, but are in the books, is that the ministry (once taken over by the death eaters) made attendance to Hogwarts mandatory. If they tried to run they’d be hunted down

[@OtroFanDeHarryPotter]

Snape's mother lastname was Prince (Ilene Prince). And she was a witch, while his dad was a muggle, that's why he is half-blood and he just added his mother's single name. It sounded dramatic but accurate tho. By the way! Quynh is so so smart, I won't say more but wow, she finds out a lot of stuff so quick!

[@NapalmThunderbum]

Great reaction guys, loving the Harry Potters. And I just have to say that Quỳnh's hair in this video looks absolutely fabulous!

[@Skrulzie]

Not sure if anyone answered your question at 59:09 but the gang stopped saying Voldemort's name because there is a curse on it. In the books they explained that anyone who says his name will have death eaters basically summoned next to them and killed/captured. When the gang escaped the wedding and Harry mentioned Voldemort in the cafe death eaters were there within like 10 seconds. So after they figured that out they stop saying his name. C:

[@Nostalgeek]

As i remember it, it was Ron, who told Harry and Hermione after he came back, that there is a taboo on the name?. So it was, when You-know-who came first to power.

[@Skrulzie]

@@Nostalgeek I believe you're right. It has been a minute since I have read the books

[@PaulQuintanaJr]

Also, the book explains why Dumbledore didn't want Harry to have the Elder Wand.

Hey guys, I love your reactions. You are quickly becoming my favorite reactors. You don't seem to read the comments at least only a very few. You often ask about things that someone gave the answer to in previous videos. Or maybe I am mistaken.

Hagrid's take on house elves is they love to look after humans, and they would take great offence in be offered payment. He also saw Dobby as the exception prooving the rule. As an oddball.

[@orphanedhanyou]

Tom Felton had so few lines and put so much emotion & turmoil in all his silent moments.

[@AubreyAuthor]

If I’m remembering correctly Voldemort was conceived under a love potion and was therefore born without the capability to love.

[@alooncnej4696]

my favourite movie with the 2nd and the 3rd. This saga was so impactful and iconic

[@Praedae]

Hey! In the books, Voldemort had killed Bathilda months before Harry and Hermione had met her. Nagini had basically used her body as a puppet but it was Nagini the entire time. That's why the awful state of her home.

[@dale897]

As others have said snape is half muggle half wizard on his mums side making him a half blood. his mums last name is prince, so is "the half blood prince"

[@kenpassfield11]

getting to rewatch these movies with you is putting me through the emotional journey all over again, which I enjoy, but there is so much more in the books including Dobby's story, when you get the chance I really suggest reading all 7 books, personally I'm not a big reader but I wasn't able to put the books down when I read them.

[@FreedomsRealm]

I love both of your commentaries together. I basically watch whatever you decide to watch and look forward to your perspective on things. I love what you both contribute and I always gain a little more, even if it is more questions to ponder. The Wizarding World is very special to me though and I wish I had had these books when I was growing up, but at least they are here now and I have a different appreciation of them as an adult. I would like to know which character do you relate to the most? Can't wait to see you both placed in houses. I am totally Luna and I adore that she is still a strong character, even though she dances on the edge and has been bullied. Nothing is worth losing her sense of wonder and I really respect that. I am Ravenclaw with a bit of Griffindor. The sorting hat has a bit of trouble placing me and I kind of like that.

[@sanjaypindoria4561]

59:09 the reason Harry doesn't say Voldemort's name anymore is because a curse was placed on Voldemort’s name during the events of Deathly Hallows. This curse allowed Death Eaters to instantly locate anyone who said his name, making it risky to do so. Interestingly, Mr. Ollivander, the wandmaker, also changed his habit and began using the term “the Dark Lord” after being freed from captivity in the Malfoy Manor. Perhaps his feelings shifted from fearful suppression to doubtless intimidation, especially considering his firsthand experience with Voldemort. I love your channel 💜

[@learobinson4450]

The Fantastic Beasts movies explain how Dumbledore gets the Elder Wand. Basically Dumbledore’s boyhood friend Gellert Grindelwald stole it from Gregorovitch, the wandmaker. Grindelwald was defeated by Dumbledore when they dueled in 1945 so Dumbledore earned the loyalty of the Elder Wand & took possession of it. Remember in the first movie that Ollivander told Harry that the wand chooses the wizard. But a witch/wizard can also gain the loyalty of a wand by defeating its master. Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald & “won” the Elder Wand. It’s customary to bury a wizard/witch with their wand. Most never lose the loyalty of their wands so when they die the power of their wand is broken since their true master is dead. Therefore they are buried with it. Keep in mind that most of the magical community does not believe the Deathly Hallows are real. The story of The Three Brothers is considered a fairy tale or morality story for children & that’s why it was in the Tales of Beadle the Bard which is a children’s book. Beadle the Bard is the equivalent of the Brothers Grimm & we Muggles don’t go traipsing through the forest looking for the cottage of the Three Bears or the Wicked Witch’s Gingerbread House from the story of Hansel & Gretal. Very excited to watch you reaction to the final movie & hear your thoughts about the whole story of Harry Potter.

[@myroselle6987]

[@ahren3551]

In case yall (nick and quynh) don’t know the reason hermoine erased herself from her parents memories is so Voldemort can’t use them against her

[@NsTheName]

There are a number of things that are explained in the books that aren't explained in the movies. The reason the students are going back to school is because it's now compulsory for all students with two wizarding parents. The dark lord wants to indoctrinate the students. They find Harry, Ron and Hermione so quickly because as soon as the ministry fell, there was a trace put on the name Voldemort. They figured anyone saying it would be part of the resistance. They say his name in the cafe and the death eaters are able to apparate directly to them. Kreacher follows Harry's orders specifically because Harry is now his master. Sirius left everything to Harry when he died, including Kreacher. Bathilda Bagshot really did give up all the secrets of Dumbledore, but because Riat Skeeter gave her Veritaserum so she had no choice. When Ron is splinched (that means a part of his body got left behind) the stuff that Hermione is dropping on his wound isn't healing him, it's only making it so that it's a few days older and further along in its healing process. In the books, Voldemort cannot feel when the horcruxes are destroyed. He's split his soul so many times he's barely even human. In the book Harry and Hermione DO use Polyjuice potion to go back to Godric's Hollow and they're under his cloak. Perhaps they felt it would be too difficult to film. Unfortunately, Nagini didn't take Bathilda's form...she was wearing her skin :( Dumbledore earned the wands loyalty when he fought its last master. It didn't make him into the powerful wizard he was, that was his own pure skill.

[@mathewnavarro1152]

41:27 did you know Neville was almost the chosen one as well? The prophecy that Trelawney made about the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord fell on the same birth date as both Neville and Harry's. Except Voldemort went after Harry's while death eaters tortured Neville's, that's why Harry ended up getting marked that night fulfilling the prophecy.

[@chris...9497]

The Prophesy said "born at the end of July"; Neville was born on July 30, Harry on July 31st. And prophesies can only be found by the one they're about; Neville is the one who found it on the shelf and alerted Harry.

[@NoudlePipW]

Love your reactions so sad itll be over soon but also really excited for you to see the final one! Just one thing though, I'm a little confused... you had a lot of questions that were adressed clearly in the previous movie, and a lot of questions about things people had already explained in the comment section too? Like, comments you even replied to so you definitely saw them. Sorry, i dont mean that in a negative way or a rude way, just usually you're much more on the ball with that kind of thing

[@ElleCarterNeal]

Probably because they have to record the reaction videos way in advance of when it goes up on KZbin - they need editing time and it goes onto Patreon a week ahead of KZbin. So by the time they see the comments here they've very likely already seen the next movie and they just mention any questions as the thought occurs as part of the fun of a first viewing reaction. So possibly when they respond to comments, they are already one or two movies ahead of that one (if it were me, I would watch all the movies before even thinking about coming to read comments as I'd be paranoid about spoilers, LOL. )😆

[@TheKatangeseDollar]

That death eater backed off from Harry and Hagrid because Hedwig protecting him was confirmation that it was the real Harry. Death eaters were not allowed to kill Harry and summoned Voldemort instead.

[@lornepribbeno3760]

Be sure to go look at the deleted scenes, there's a scene with the Dursleys you need to see.

[@lisaleyendekker8305]

the answer to your questions about "The Half-Blood Prince" moniker Snape gives himself is two fold. he is half-blood (a pureblood witch mother and a muggle father) and his mother's maiden name was Prince. his mother was also a skilled potioneer, hence why snape's copy of the book had improvements scribbled all over. All of this is discussed in the novel itself but is cut out of the movie due to runtime.

[@Felipe-xt4id]

Gregorovich had the Elder wand, Grindewald stole from him and when DUmbledore defeated Grindewald he got the Elder wand when he was already an adult. There's a whole plot in the books about how Grindewald was Batilda Bagshot'a nephew, went to her house when he was a teenager and became friends with Dumbledore for some time and they were obssesed with tfinding the Hallows. There's a lot to unpack there, the movies just glossed over this.

[@afry6400]

Loving how Quynh has been becoming much more confident and comfortable in these videos. Great reaction you two.

[@dwilborn1257]

Justice for Kreacher! The films don't explain that Kreacher is bound to obey Harry, because Harry inherited Sirius's house, and therefore his house-elf. Once Harry starts treating Kreacher better, Kreacher actually begins to be nice to Ron and Hermione, too.
