49:03 Harry repeating what Ron saw in the Mirror of Erised because he has no idea whats normal for a kid his age to desire is such a heatbreaking but overlooked detail

[@Celeborn93]

I feel like it's more likely that it was just the first thing he thought of because he knew he had to come up with a lie, fast. So he used a fresh memory as reference, as most people would. That's how most brains are wired. I mean, it could be both, but i don't really feel like there was an intentionally deep meaning there.

[@j.woodbury412]

Erised is Desire spelled backwards. I wonder how many people caught that.

[@chris...9497]

I think that's something of a stretch. Under pressure and panic, the mind finds a recent experience that will fit the parameters of the response required. Under less pressure and more time, the mind has an opportunity to invent something more original but not in the situation Harry was in at that moment.

[@ScientificallyStupid]

@@chris...9497 I agree, I just think he had to come up with a lie quickly and that was a believable thing to say.

[@lukescheffe9851]

@@j.woodbury412 More than that, Erised is desire as seen in a mirror.

[@susieautrey6112]

Bit of trivia from the books that was not included in the movie. Professor Quirrell was not well respected, and the students were known to throw snowballs at the back of his head, meaning that Voldemort was constantly being pelted in the face.

[@Armaldo468]

That’s awesome. I have yet to read the books, though I kinda want to eventually. I love the thought of Lord Moldybutt getting pelted like that. Quirrell seems like a perfect fit for Voldemort, so I’m mildly pleased to hear nobody liked the little wretch.

[@CarolinePhoenixMe]

Some facts out of many, many, many: 1) The movie events take place in 1991 (it is not directly stated in the books, but can be calculated). 2) While designing the Dursleys' house, the creators intentionally selected the ugliest furniture they could find - to increase the impression, so to say. 3) Pay attention to the street view before Uncle Vernon warns Harry about the "funny business". All the houses and cars look the same, because here, nothing weird is tolerated. 4) When Harry's scar hurts before the Sorting Ceremony, it's because Quirrell is standing with his back to him (and, correspondingly, Voldemort facing him despite being hidden). Also, when Hermione sets Snape's cloak on fire, it is clearly shown that Quirrell trips and falls, breaking the eye contact and therefore releasing Harry's broom. Ravenclaw here, by the way

[@midii16]

[@_Professor_Oak]

He's reacted to this before, possibly with his ex IIRC. I've noticed some reactors doing this now, pretending like they haven't already reacted to it (deleting the old videos, changing channel names etc.) just so they can loop back through all the "hit" movies that get good views.

[@mariyarosa170]

I knew he's kinda familiar! Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't he the brother of James in White Noise Reacts? I saw him when they all reacted to the Fantastic Beasts and it was mentioned that he already reacted to the HP series.

[@gsem1]

@@_Professor_Oak I remembererd this too! That's why I was really confused when he acted like he didn't know some major story plots?! I thought it was only his gf first time watching, not that he would act like he didn't watch it at all. Basically he deleted all his old HP reactions and he's pretending this is his first time watching, even if he didn't actually say that it's his first time...but he's surely *acting* like it is.😂 Pretty smart way to avoid backlash because he can simply say "I've never said it was MY first time". Pretty unecessary tbh because he's a good reactor and people would've loved these videos even if it was ONLY his gf first time watching.🤷‍♀ A bit disappointing... too bad.

[@hectorsmommy1717]

She is like my favorite teachers: high expectations of all students but very fair and understanding of differences. The kind of teacher who pushes her students to be the best they can be, rather than trying to fit them in a mold. There is always kindness and respect behind the sternness.

[@patriciaalvareztostado8170]

I like her, but I think the point with the troll, were very little, a 50 point for the night stroll, are too much, in the books all Gryffindor is mad about them, and she didnt take serious to the trio in the first book, but she is a very strict but fair teacher most of the times, she care about the students,

The sorting hat looks into your thoughts and ambitions and talents to put you in the house closest to aligning with yourself.

[@hectorsmommy1717]

It does take preferences into account which is why it frequently puts siblings in the same house but someone who does not want to be in that house will be put into another. Best example (besides Harry) is Sirius who was a Gryffindor even though his whole family were Slytherins. He already was not like his family and wanted to distance himself. The hat knew both.

[@6666Imperator]

@@hectorsmommy1717 especially if it is a hatstall (the hat not being able to form a decision on it's own for a period of time) it will factor in your decision more

[@danielaferrari1380]

You have a great journey ahead. You'll find the books so much more detailed that you can understand better this fantastic, magical world. Good read. (I'm a little bit envyous of every first time reader)

[@lyds6382]

[@melindamercier6811]

You are going to LOVE the books! The movies are fantastic, I watched them long before reading the books as well. But the books bring a new magic to them! It’s such a satisfying deep dive into the Wizarding World we’ve come to love.

[@RB-vo4gi]

I’m sure even more baffling for Harry is that everyone is treating him kindly/with respect. He’s so used to the Dursleys, that’s a huge change. The books add so much to the movies. Hermione, for example: she comes from a nonmagic family, and she was so excited to find out that she was a witch that she read all of her school books before going to Hogwarts. That’s why she knows all the answers to the questions.

[@Catherinewelter-z6d]

You described McGonagall perfectly strict but fair

[@HaraldSeiwert]

Filmed in Scotland. You can actually ride the same train there, it's quite nice and they announce during the ride all the Potter filming locations.

With the sorting hat, in the book it indicates that all that talking while it is deciding things is only heard in the mind of the person who it is being sorted. That is also how it sorts people - the hat is telepathic so it looks at the mind to see what sort of person they are and chooses a house that is best suited.

I just thought you should know. And perhaps address this before it escalates and people lose trust in you telling the truth that you have not seen something before. As for me, your one of my favorite reactors and I didn't mind if you've seen this before. I would of still enjoyed watching it with you and your girlfriend for her first time. But I hope that the titles are clear and if you react to a movie you e already seen before and your girlfriend has not yet seen it before. Then I hope you will say it's your girlfriend's first reaction. And that you've seen this before and any future movies you watch. That being said I enjoyed y'all's reaction and I think your girlfriend is adorable and I'm so happy she had an instant love for Harry's friends. I only wanted two make sure you were aware of some of these comments so you could address them before they continue and get worse. Since I can't say 100% that I remember you watching it before you changed the name of your channel, I'm staying out of it and won't say either way. But I just wanted to let you know cuz I don't want you to lose any followers. Anyway, I hope you have a blessed day and I'll be tuning in to watch your other Harry Potter reactions.

My favourite piece of trivia about this movie is that for the Chess scene, they asked IM Jeremy Silman to construct a puzzle where Ron's move sequence genuinely led to checkmate, and he did. But more than that. He made a puzzle where there were 2 forces checkmate sequences. Ron didn't have to sacrifice himself. But the only other way to win would have sacrificed Harry. Ron not only chose to sacrifice himself so they could win the game, but he chose to sacrifice himself knowing that there was another way to win Unfortunately, the movie never gives you enough of a wide shot of the board for you to see any of this. But the puzzle is easy to find online. There are even youtube videos about it from chess channels

[@babs3241]

The movie skips a bit about how the Hat chooses. In the book, there's a song it sings that explains the houses. Gryffindor prizes courage, Ravenclaw prizes intelligence, Hufflepuff prizes hard work and fairness, and Slytherin values ambition and cunning. Some kids are apparently easy to sort, others, it has to deliberate on. It was Gryffindor's hat to begin with.

I think the reason Hermione knows so much is because both of her parents are Muggles, or non magical people, so she feels like she has to work harder to prove herself. There are some at Hogwarts who believe that only those who come from purely magical parents should be allowed to practice magic or attend Hogwarts. Like Voldemort, or anybody in Slytherin.

[@lyds6382]

Some truth, although being intelligent and well-researched, even a know-it-all, was her personality even before knowing about magic. In the movies she also was given a number of Ron’s lines, I’m not sure why. There’s a lot he knew simply by growing up in that world that she couldn’t have, and it made him look like an idiot, which he wasn’t, and her like she was a superhero, which she wasn’t. She often panicked under pressure and did things wrong, for example.

Hermione was the one who panicked in the devil’s snare plant, Ron literally had to remind her that she was a witch and could conjure light/warmth (her signature flames) whenever she wanted. It’s so frustrating how they gave a lot of Ron’s lines and information to Hermione, it really changed both characters somewhat. She wasn’t perfect and invincible, and he was way more knowledgeable than the movies make it seem.

Fun fact: The chess game they had to play in order to get to the philosopher's stone was actually a real, constructed position created by International Master Jeremy Silman.

The hat was from the founder of Harry's House: Godric Gryffindor. All House founders gave it part of their personality, so it could do the sorting in the Future, since they wouldn't live forever

[@MarelorMoon]

It's also said in the books, that the hat takes your choice. Harry for example shows certain qualities of Slytherin, especially explained in later books, but He chose Gryffindor. Hermione had to chose between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw as well

I didn't realise you hadn't watched this already! Hopefully you're another reactor that'll get into StarKid after Harry Potter too 😁

"I shouldn't have told you that.".

[@safiahussaini8088]

You both are so cute together.. looking at you to makes my heart all emotional.. I dont know why❤️❤️

[@Rattled76]

They actually took lines that Ron said in the books and gave them Hermione. Ron isn’t as goofy in the books as they have him in the movies

Apparently some of this was filmed in Oxford. I heard the dining room was based on Christ Church college's dining room, and some parts of the college outside architecture were based on Magdalen college's quads

Movies left out a big side story about Herminones teeth, she had huge teeth but since her dad's a dentist he didn't want her to fix it with magic, but malfoys cursed her and made her teeth way bigger, the school nurse fixed it and herminone told her just fix em all together

[@tracim3080]

That’s not really a side story that was like a fun antidote

@25:59 Hardly anyone notices Hermione’s reaction to Harry. I love her surprised and confused reaction. Meanwhile, she’s having some difficulty with her broom. 😁

[@christabutler]

OMG FINALLY ❤️❤️❤️❤️ been waiting for this reaction for so long! So happy 😁

I've liked Alan Rickman ever since I watched Die Hard and he was great in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (Kevin Costner). He was also in Galaxy Quest and many other movies that I can't recall at the moment! I also loved his voicing of the robot in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!

[@lilybethkuhn9650]

21:50 it finds what connects to you the most, weather you se it or not and fun fact is in the books it took the hat like 5 minutes to decide where Hermione should go(Gryffindor or Ravenclaw)

[@JessieNebulousGaming]

I'm so excited for this! I've been subbed to you for a while and Harry Potter is my absolute favorite franchise, so this is going to be great! What's interesting about this series is that it grows in maturity and complexity over the course of the books/movies, which gives its target demographic a chance to grow up along side the characters while giving the older audience something to sink their teeth into as well. :)

Hogwarts is the British school for wizards and witches and is located somewhere in Scotland. There’s also a French school called Beauxbatons and a North European school called Durmstrang. Their students visit in the 4th movie. Most other schools are only mentioned in background materials. Ilvermorny is the North American school that’s loosely modeled on Hogwarts in structure. It’s mentioned by name in the Fantastic Beasts prequels. Koldovstorets is the Russian school. Castelobruxo is the South American school located in Brazil (mentioned in one of the books but not in movies). Uagadou is the African school located in Uganda. And Mahoutokoro is the Japanese school

welcome to the family. About the sorting hat... he does a sprt of magoc that is called legilimency, meaning he looks into the gead of the students. Each house has special traits (neither good nor bad) and the hat decides which trades are the most prominent at the time and sorts you into the hpuse that matches the best. One thing to keep in mind - things are not always the way the look. Just keep that in mind. Greetings from Germany also... I am a Slytherpuff - meaning... if I do the dorting quiz hobestly I would be Hufflepuff. I always managed to get sorted into Slytherin, though. AND the sorting hat would take my choice into account, so Slytherin for me

[@Bornagain7202]

the train scene over the bridge specifically is filmed in Scotland

[@kayjmac42]

I really enjoyed your reaction to this movie. Your enjoyment of it was very refreshing. Can’t wait to see all the rest of your reactions to the series.

The actor who is the wand maker is John Hurt, he was in the movie Alien and had the Alien come out his chest and repeated that scene in the parody film Spaceballs. He was also in the film 1984 where he was the one to fight big brother and then in the movie V for vergence where he was big brother.

[@artembentsionov]

The wand seller was played by the late John Hurt. Not the only Doctor to appear in these movies

[@Flastew]

This series is a lot of fun with some great special effects. Since you liked this one I think you will like the rest. I think this couple is one of the best reactors, they are so cool together and always have great commentary.

[@yanetpelasoja]

Yayyyy finally. Hope you guys enjoy it. ☺
