Please let us know if you want us to continue with the rest of the series.

[@looneygardener]

Yes

[@EmmalynEtc]

Absolutely!!

[@bond009dixit]

Yes

[@AaravSinha-ro1kl]

Waiting since the first part releases...I thought you'll post 1 part daily

[@Syntell]

@@AaravSinha-ro1kl should be out in another hour or so. They won’t be daily due to the time it takes to edit them. But hopefully a couple movies a week.

[@toodlescae]

Ron has 5 older brothers who have done and accomplished just about everything. His sister is the only girl *and* the baby of the family. His best fiends are the most famous kid in their wirld and the other is the smartest kid in their grade. He just wants to not be overshadowed for once.

[@Toshiboyai]

Each movie moving forward gets progressively more mature, in depth, higher budget, better character development, better CGI, darker tones, and interesting world building. Deff worth continuing this series !

[@Syntell]

I think that's pretty cool. We get more and more serious with each passing book.

[@GummiGamerLife]

“Do I want to watch it again? No.” Oh we’ve heard this time and time again lol Just you wait until you finish the story. Once you put it all together, the first movies hit different.

[@leav4g]

One thing I loved to learn was that parents were reading this to children and found themselves reading after the child went to sleep which helped with the Fandom

[@chrisbelyasmin6150]

Thats how it started for me. My mom got me the first 4 books when i was 7 to read with me. But she ended up reading them on her own after i was asleep. When the movies came out we went to see them all. Now we are both big potter heads ☺️

[@haruka_niki]

@@chrisbelyasmin6150 that's absolutely adorable!!!

[@VonOutlaw]

Interesting fact the final scene where Hagrid gives Harry that book with the picture in it, that was actually the first thing that they filmed Daniel Radcliffe's eyes look puffy because, he tried colored contacts the character in the book Harry has green eyes. He was allergic to those and so they had to remove them, if you also look at Hermione Emma Watson they tried putting buck teeth in her mouth but it was hard for her to speak so they removed them as well

[@Syntell]

Really?? 😂 I'm happy they stayed with that choice.

[@gamebeast4191]

nobody understands that ron being the knight is the piece, him jumping off would be like sudden new 2 knights

[@videoeditorbloke]

If us Brits kept doing comedy American accents every time we watched a movie with US actors, we’d end up missing most of the film! 😂

[@Syntell]

I can only imagine how silly our accents sound. By all means please have at it. 😂🤣

[@videoeditorbloke]

Ha! I think it's just because I've had double overload with watching your Doctor Who reactions as well!!

[@Prince_the_One]

Our accents are wonderful. All accents are great lol.

[@LindaChambers-gy2zl]

Couldn't finish watching....the excessive English accents were irritating. Sorry, not for me!

[@lechat8533]

@videoeditorbloke Well said!!!

[@leav4g]

RIP to the actors playing Dumbledore, Snape, Hagrid and Mr Dursley. Love your adult review. I saw as adult late after the fact also. I loved first book had a lot of behind stories that I understand why they skipped or changed but did lose some understanding in the movie.😢❤

[@Syntell]

This one was fun. The second one should be out shortly.

[@Whitney-eg8hn]

@@Syntell oh good! I’m glad you guys enjoyed the first one! I started watching your channel when I found your Yellowjackets reactions, I’m even more excited for you guys to watch these❤️ thank you for a great reaction

[@3azy33]

agreed! (said like Hermione) lmao

[@VonOutlaw]

You can't relax with Devil's snare to get out of it you need to use light or fire in some way. Ron actually never freaked out it was Hermione who couldn't remember that she could start a fire without wood. It took him reminding her that she's a witch that she can start fire without wood. A lot of the lines that Hermione got were taken from Ron, he did a lot of the explaining of The Wizarding World where they basically gave that to Hermione. And a lot of his Brave scenes they also gave to hermione.

[@Syntell]

Now that's an interesting nugget of info.

[@toodlescae]

​@@Syntell yeah the screenwriter said in an interview that he preferred Hermione's character. Basically he gave Ron's character the shaft by making him a slightly stupid and cowardly comedic sidekick when he was anything but in the books. He even took some of Harry's lines and ideas and gave them to Hermione.

[@LaurinGarcia]

The reason most muggles don't see magic happening around them is sometimes attributed to protective spells having been places on objects or places so that regular none magical folks can't see or notice them. For example, Hogwarts is a massive castle located in the highlands of Scotland. But when muggles come across it they only see old ancient empty castle ruins. If muggles find themselves getting too close to it then suddenly the muggles will start to think they have someplace important they have to go to that they previously forgotten about. In rare other cases when a muggle happens to witness magic by mistake, the local wizarding government called The Ministry of Magic will come and magically erase that particular memory from the muggle's mind. Certain cases are allowed only to a certain extent, like in the case of a wizard or witch having been born from a muggle family or is being raised by a muggle family like Harry and the Dursleys for example. But even then the wizarding child is not allowed to perform magic even in front of their muggle family even though their muggle family members know about their relative being born a witch or wizard and that they attend Hogwarts. The Wizarding communities consider it vital that their existence remain a secret for their protection incase for example muggles decide to bring back the witch trials and start burning wizards at the stake again among many other reasons as well. 🏰🪄

[@Khornedevotee]

I get that that is a historic reason that goes way back, but if the wizardry world was discovered in the real world, obviously witch burnings would not happen. Instead, they would probably be persecuted and locked behind bars without their wands because they could not be trusted. If the wizards and witches fought back, which they probably would, there would be war, but that would still not lead to witch burnings other than from fanatical religious anti-magic cults I suppose, which would be relatively rare and not be government enforced but sorta like a self-appointed militia of sorts, taking it upon themselves to eradicate the threat of wizards and witches. On the other hand, some in the government might pay these fanatics to help the government deal with the wizards and witches if they have a problem dealing with them effectively, avoiding being caught under legal scrutiny and having to explain any discrepancies to those civilians and reporters who might protest against the witch-huntings and who might vouch for the wizards and witches being killed and/or lynched and such, and as such, the civilians will look to the same government funding these witch-hunts who will then gain votes and support if they reassure the general public that they will see to it that the wizards and witches will be dealt with in a humane way, but if the general public will want freedom for the wizards and witches, then the government runs into problems of course. Cloak and dagger shadow funding, sorta like funding terrorism in a way. At the same time I feel that some(many) in the government would not really want the wizards and witches to be hunted down if they found out that most of them are decent people, just like normal people, and that sentiment would gradually increase the more people found out what wizards and witches are actually like. But that would be a loong, loong road of trial and error, and acquainting themselves with the wizardry world's population, to find that out, that they could start to trust more of the elites of the wizardry world, and therefore most of the wizards and witches, with few exceptions of course. It's interesting to consider what would happen if it was a thing in real life, but also kinda scary haha.

[@ghostmkc4045]

Its a great ride that ages up with its writing as they age into adult wizards fighting for their life and everything they love. Honestly, its a great story.

[@jamila_freya]

I’m so excited to experience this series with you guys. Syntell pls pls continue with whole series. Thank you

[@KBPokeCatcher]

Being a Potterhead literally since the first book and being a walking talking encyclopedia, here’s some little random stuff and my personal opinion for you: In the books, book 5, they do mention a Christmas carol they have and it’s called God Rest Ye Merry Hippogriff. The director, Chris Columbus, who also directed Home Alone, let his daughter play Susan Bones, who gets placed in Hufflepuff … the best house 💛 The reason we a lot of us love the franchise is cause a lot of us grew up with the characters. I was 11 when the first movie came out and 20 when the last one came out, and it felt crazy having it over cause it was such a huge impact in my life. It also saved me during a lot of traumatic moments in my life, cause after each one I end up reading the books again. I recommend keep watching. My fiancé and I just introduced her 10 year old daughter and now our entire house is Harry Potter theme and we are obsessed with the Hogwarts Legacy game as well lol. Sorry for the life story. It does get better and more adult, I swear. The best one is the 3rd one!

[@pennyforyourthoughts4]

Love the name by the way! Thanks for taking the time to share this with us all it was a good read! Would you by chance know why in the later movies that they switched the side that Harry's scar was on? I'm this one when we see him it's on the right side, but it others it's on the left!

[@VonOutlaw]

Richard Harris is who played Dumbledore for the first two movies, unfortunately he passed away after the second movie and they did have to replace him. But originally he was not going to play Dumbledore he turned it down it was his granddaughter who said if you don't take the part I will never speak to you again. The reason is she saw him as the perfect Dumbledore and she wanted to see him portray one of her favorite characters.

[@wanderingtin]

oh wow props to the granddaughter to pushing grandpa! he's iconic Dumbledore!

[@VonOutlaw]

@@wanderingtin I agree with you 100%, I feel that he portrayed Dumbledore the best.

[@Aya_97_]

Mikel-Claire!!! Where you beeeeen 😂 love you guys. Just remember the movies mature with the characters. This is gonna be fun😝

[@Syntell]

I keep hearing that. Growing with the film is a great plus. We're looking forward to it.

[@musicdaydreams2506]

One of the things about these books (& hence the movies) is that the audience grew up along with the characters. Therefore, while the first movies were more child-like, the stakes get higher as they go along as the characters (and initial audience) age. So, you may appreciate or enjoy the subsuquent movies more as the tension and stakes build.

[@Syntell]

It's a bit Scooby Doo at times, but I like Scooby Doo so that's not a slight at all. I'm here for the long haul. I don't mind growing up with the characters.

[@IsiahBradley]

Oh, y'all trying to make me show up in this piece every day!!! LOL!!! THANKS!!!! And "Small Wonder"....WOW!!! DEEP CUT!!!!

[@Syntell]

A bit of a switch up, but we're still on it. As always thanks for the support.

[@carriesmith742]

I TOTALLY used to watch "Small Wonder" here and there when there wasn't anything else to watch, lol. Cute show.

[@VonOutlaw]

Harry's father was not a seeker, they did that in the movies but JK Rowling even stated that he's actually a chaser but in the books he did like to play with the golden snitch because it was fun to play with for him.

[@ARTZcreatz]

WHEN HE SAID " THIS IS SOME BULL S**T!" Had me dying! Cuz i felt the same way!

[@midnightmadness7156]

Lol as a Slytherin myself, THANK you for pointing out the literal trolling Dumbledore does by switching up the winner of the house cup. Lol my man humiliated our whole house

[@ronweber1402]

I've never read the books but apparently Slytherin had been winning for years, a lot of the time with help from Snape with awarding Slytherins excessive points and deducting points from the other houses for petty reasons. So while I still think it was a dick move to do the last minute change up because not all the Slytherins were involved in winning using questionable methods they had enjoyed an unfair advantage for far too long.

[@chaddon7685]

I will say... it's kind of messed up (in a funny way), but he never said Slytherin won. He just said what the current scores were. Their bad for assuming, lol.

[@neryskkiran1820]

Gryffindor got back the points they lost when Malfoy snitched on them... except for a few extra for Harry, and the 10 for Neville for bravery.

[@ackerose]

@@ronweber1402 There is nothing in the books that implies Snape’s the reason for Slytherin’s win. That’s just a fan made thing. In fact, Snape never awards anyone points in the entire series. He also deducts way less in comparison to McGonagall

[@bmaxime8771]

" as a slytherin myself " xD

[@garybassin1651]

Nicholas Flamel is the only real life person in the story. His house still exists in Paris and is now a restaurant. Since the popularity of the books and movies, they have created a Harry Potter menu for children. I had lunch there on my last trip to Paris.

[@menace2society599]

Wowww!! I did not know this. After reading your comment, I just searched it up and both Nicolas Flamel and the Philosopher’s Stone are based on real life. However, the thing that stood out to me the most was the fact that at the time the book was being written Nicolas Flamel would have been born 665 years ago, which is the age they said he would be in Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone. Thank you for sharing that fun fact!

[@missjay6235]

I love this series because I grew up with the characters, and they go through school like I did... just with magic. I still go back and rewatch the entire series. Thank you for doing this, it touches my heart 💜

[@lechat8533]

Rowling created a magic world in which paintings and pictures were moving, candles floating, ceilings imitating the night sky, and so much more. J.K. Rowling is a freaking genius. I was 36 when my daughter gave me Harry Potter and the Philosopher`s Stone as a Christmas present. When I started reading it, I did it for her sake, and I wasn`t pleased at all about having been "forced" to read a children`s book. To my surprise, I fell in love with it. The very next day, after I finished the book, I drove 20 miles to buy the second one. I didn`t read the books, I ate them :))) When the movies came out, I loved them to bits.

[@maroonscarlet]

Ooooh, this could be a fun reaction series to continue. Welcome back, Mikel-Claire! Great to have you for this one. I was one of the die hard kids who grew up reading the books and watching the movies. I was about 8 or 9 when I started them, when the fourth book released, and I was in high school when the books finished and in college when the movies finished. I remember being in the theater for the first movie, talking about all the changes we hated with my cousin, but we loved the movie all the same and loved them even more as they went on.

[@deannacouch]

From the moment Hermione points out the dirt on Ron's nose, it's a subtle indication of something. The "side eyes" are for a reason, as is the truly desperate cry from Hermione to Ron of, "No, you can't!" Lifelong readers of a certain genre of paperback books will probably pick up what's happening before most people.

[@faureamour]

I like that y'all brought up the magic controversy. I went to a pretty conservative church when these were big. While my parents were fine with watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer with me, I had started to buy into avoiding the occult. Fast forward several years, my family and I decided to watch all of them leading up to the final movie coming out in theaters. I really enjoyed watching it as a young adult. I love watching others catch the hype too.

[@brandibastian4193]

Just a little correction. Magicians are muggles who do sleight of hand to make fake magic. Wizards actually do magic so yeah that's not the same thing. Also there is one post credit scene in the Harry Potter series and I didn't know that until in my 40s because somebody told somebody I was watching do a reaction. I did not know that and I own all the DVDs and it is the second movie that has the post credits scene

[@torijeri]

you’re right, it’s like Cerberus (Sir-Burr-Us), he guards the underworld and is a big part of Hercules ancient story. I’m guessing the author took inspo from the hercules story cus it’s “guarding” something (the stone)

[@brooke_reiverrose2949]

@@torijeri Yes, and in the books Hagrid got him from “a Greek chappie” (not an “Irish feller”). Of course, Cerberus is a Greek mythological figure

I read the book before I saw the movie. I was so excited for this movie to come out. (I was an adult already at the time.) When I saw the movie I was amazed. It was really true to the book, with a few differences, but they were understandable from a movie making perspective. My favorite moment was seeing the Hogwarts Express. It was like somebody had reached into my brain and pulled it out. Magical.

This is probably my least favorite of the series but it does a good job of setting up the world. I’ve read all the books but it’s been a while. From what I recall they do a good job overall of sticking to the source material. More detail in the books obviously.

[@Syntell]

The world they're creating is amazing. I can only imagine how much more there is to see in the remaining movies. Thank you for hanging out with us.

[@LaurinGarcia]

Welcome to the incrediblely wonderful rabbit hole of a ride called the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Enjoy it well. 😊 This is the song that the Sorting Hat sings in the book version of Sorcerer's Stone/Philosopher's Stone before he sorted the first year's students into their houses; "Oh you may not think I'm pretty, But don't judge on what you see, I'll eat myself if you can find A smarter hat than me. You can keep your bowlers black, Your top hats sleek and tall, For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat And I can cap them all. There's nothing hidden in your head The Sorting Hat can't see, So try me on and I will tell you Where you ought to be. You might belong in Gryffindor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve, and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart; You might belong in Hufflepuff, Where they are just and loyal, Those patient Hufflepuffs are true And unafraid of toil; Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you've a ready mind, Where those of wit and learning, Will always find their kind; Or perhaps in Slytherin You'll make your real friends, Those cunning folks use any means To achieve their ends. So put me on! Don't be afraid! And don't get in a flap! You're in safe hands (though I have none) For I'm a Thinking Cap!" 🧙‍♂️🧙‍♀️🪄✨⚡🖤 BTW, I was sorted into Gryffindor and my brother was sorted into Slytherin in the Pottermore (now called Wizarding World) official website. The website was created by the Sony company and the author of the Harry Potter books, JK Rowling. I had to take a fun and special personality test to find out what house I am in.

FYI this first one is iconic and did an amazing job of introducing the world and characters, but IMO it’s one of the weaker entries. The third film is where it really starts taking off to another level! My ranking (film # in parentheses): 1. Half-Blood Prince (6) 2. Prisoner of Azkaban (3) 3. Deathly Hallows Part 2 (8) 4. Goblet of Fire (4) 5. Order of the Phoenix (5) 6. Sorcerer’s Stone (1) 7. Deathly Hallows Part 1 (7) 8. Chamber of Secrets (2) Just my opinion though! I do think general consensus is the second film is weak though, so please don’t lose faith after that one 😂.

I was in my late 20s (married w/ children) when I first read the books so I didn't grow up with the characters, but they are truly great books and the movies are a very close match.

[@VonOutlaw]

I know in the movie they said it Dumbledore sent the dragon to romania, but he didn't it was actually Ron Harry and Hermione who did. Ron contacted his brother Charlie for help Charlie sent two of his friends down they met him at the top of the tower where they handed off Norbert to his friends. On our way down Harry and Hermione forgot the invisibility cloak while Ron was in the hospital and they got caught coming back down the tower.

[@VonOutlaw]

In the book Ron was not on top of the night he was the night, so the queen physically smacked him in the face if I remember correctly from the book

[@toodlescae]

Smashed him in the head with her arm and knocked him out then drug him off the board.

[@woundedmonk1884]

Seeing as you've been doing all those Doctor Who reactions the actor who plays Harry's uncle was in talks to play the fifth doctor back in the 80's

[@ezradanger]

As one of the people who grew up reading the books and then seeing the movies, I very much enjoyed the movies even though they left out a lot from the books. I actually feel like it's easier to enjoy the movies when you've read the books because they fill in a lot of the context that is missing from the movies. If you watch the entire series, you will probably find yourself quite often thinking that something came out of nowhere or doesn't quite make sense, but that is going to be because something from the book that explained it is left out.

[@brt5273]

I agree about that house cup shifty business....always rubbed me the wrong way.

There are three consistent black characters in the series that we know of. Lee Jordan, who is the twins closest friend and in 3rd year, and frequently commentates for the games.

of all the films, this is the closest to the book. yes it's very whimsical and "storybook" but don't worry it will grow and mature. these are "kids" movies, but the first two are the beginning of a coming-of-age story and once the momentum picks up you'll feel it.

I watched this as an appetiser while waiting for The Fellowship of the Ring to come out. My feeling when I watched this was that it was rather episodic but it was good enough to make me check out the books.

[@glowormrdr6183]

Books vs the movies: The first book was short (kid-friendly length), so the movie could tell the full story easily. But the books kept getting longer, and each movie had to cut out more details. That's why the final book needed 2 movies. It was the only way to tell the whole story. PS Each book/movie covers Harry's next year, ages 11-17. AND, the author planned them out as one long story arc. So clues and details can become important a year or three later!

In my opinion, this is the only Harry Potter movie where the clues are all in plain view. The other movies, along with 1 other clue from this movie, takes more thought and paying close attention.

There’s a Wicca store that’s been in little five points since as long as I’ve been alive! I used to go there with my older sister

Welcome to The Wizarding World rabbit hole that is Harry Potter. The best thing about the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone, to me is that the chambers following the third-floor corridor containing Fluffy each play to the strengths of Harry, Ron and Hermione. The Devil's Snare chamber caters to Hermione's knowledge of spells. The room with the winged keys caters to Harry's skill with quidditch. And the chess room caters to Ron's knowledge of how to play chess. Side note: The Sorting Hat chooses new students' houses based on their corresponding personality traits: Gryffindor-Bravery, helping others, and chivalry. Hufflepuff-Hard work, patience, loyalty, and fair play. Ravenclaw-Intelligence, knowledge, and wit. Slytherin-Ambition, cunning and resourcefulness.

When I first saw this movie I was 13 when it was in theatre. As an adult I wonder now, that it was a kid movie back then....😀

[@RenaissanceMotoko972]

it's thanks to my dad who brought the disc/vhs (i don't know anymore lmao) that made me discover this movie. I found the story very interesting, I was around 12 years old.

[@bidwell13]

34:57 isn’t it interesting that each stage is something that one of them is good at. Hermione with the Devils Snare, Ron with the Chess & Harry with the broom.

I'm out here subbing to every HP reactor channel, watched them so many times but just something about watching with someone lmao.

[@RockieMatters]

please cont series...saw 1st movie (when it came out on cable) previous to reading books, wanted to see how close the movie was to book, books are much better but movies do stand up themselves

[@jeanine6328]

What in the world!?!? Dr. Who and now Harry Potter! Be careful, you’ll end up my favorite channel. 😘 Thanks for what you do. May your views and likes always be equal

It’s all fun and games till you get to Goblet of Fire Harry Potter 4 then the tone of the films becomes very dark, and the stakes become very high from then on out. The last 2 films are the darkest and almost has the dark tone of a war film.

[@conniegaylord5206]

Watch it again? You will! 😍 I am 72.

[@AndreMoore1978]

The points only counts when a teacher or prefect speaks it out loud in the presence of witnesses. That's another cool detail from the books.

The shotgun actually would still fire, and with birdshot it probably would come out the barrel. It may break a straight path out of the barrel though

Erised is a mirror image of desire.

Yes when the books came out there was an issue about the sorcery in the magic, but interesting little facts it is not religious based when it comes to the Harry Potter franchise it is genetics in science base. You have to have the magical Gene in order for you to even be able to perform Magic. And I believe if I'm not mistaken and one of the books they mentioned a science involving Magic class. Harry Potter is on the banned book list when it comes to private schools that are christian-based. Now JK Rowling has stated that she gave a bunch of different religions to different characters catholic christian Jewish. The one religion that she never gave out and would never see at Hogwarts is Wicca

36:12 - That's the thing, the players act as pieces as well, Harry and Hermione are replacing pieces that are currently missing from the board. Hogwarts is more f**ked up than you thought, 😂

[@marzh5278]
