FIRST TIME WATCHING | Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) | MOVIE REACTION

[@amywilson2292]

"You're selling Draco?" Lmfao 🤣 love your reactions!!!

[@BR-jt6ny]

I fucking lost it 💀

[@delphidelion]

I came to the comments to make the same statement.

[@Anna13Tonks]

I CRIED 😂😂😂

[@BronyDanProductions]

‘If this were a video game, this would be a boss battle’. It was.

[@jamiewilson9280]

The movies get darker and darker from this point on. And better and better.

[@TheAlkochef]

indeed, its so cool

[@aidetund6263]

@Cash Michael stop please

[@gilgalad7399]

Sólo cambió de películas de navidad a películas de halloween

[@janetuss6496]

your british-ness really elevates your reactions😆

[@itidait4569]

This is actually one of my favorite HP movies. I know people really like the third one, but for me this is the movie that is most loyal to it's source material, still have some of that "wonders of magic" feeling while getting a little bit grown up and talking about more serious subjects. The acting can be a bit rough still, but I really enjoy this movie :P

[@gaelledelair7258]

: Well thank you ! Finally ! I thought I was the only one ^^

[@nightfrost1891]

same but of course it's my favorite book too which is rare in the hp community but i don't care, i love the whole mystery killer concept and seeing the world through tom's eyes half-blood prince is my second favorite book but the movie wasn't as good (though i still like the movie don't et me wrong) i think the first three films are the most loyal to the books partly in half due to they are smaller in size so there is less to leave out

[@sam_c95]

I do really like this movie and I agree with most of what you say (although my favourite is the third one haha). It is loyal, but my one criticism is that they kind of went wild with the spells I think. It's been ages since I read the books but I'm fairly sure they just made up a bunch of non-book spells for this movie, but they also made almost every spell including ones from the book do the same thing - push you back and make you spin in the air. The dual scene I really dislike in the film.

[@MichaelChiklisCares]

First movie is my least favorite, my favorite has to be the last movie with Azkaban but the movies kind of get formulaic, the same pattern all over again.

[@C.Bastard]

Never met anyone who just like me, have the second book as one of the favorites. When I was a kid and I read this book, I was so immersed in this mystery killer concept, so creative. My favorite is the Half-Blood Prince and Chamber of Secrets next, the same for the movies, just as said above, I think these two were more loyal to the source material.

[@warpedwhimsical]

Transfiguring small animals into water goblets is the Hogwarts version of things they teach you in school you would never actually ever need to use in real life

[@erikperhs_]

Well, if you're lost in the desert, you just need to find a small animal :p

[@h3cat3]

i think at this point they are just learning the more basic and easy spells and the underlying logic of transfiguration that comes with them. this is what will help students to master the more complex and, i guess, practical transfiguration in years to come

[@warpedwhimsical]

@@erikperhs_ if you’re lost in the desert I think your biggest concern would finding actual water, not having a goblet lol

[@erikperhs_]

@@warpedwhimsical you can use Aquamenti to make the actual water.

[@h3cat3]

@@erikperhs_ i've watched so many hp reaction videos that i don't remeber who said "aquamenti in your mouth", but that was funny. they were watching the sixth part, SPOILER SPOILER SPOLER when harry couldn't take water out of the stone basin in the cave

[@RiseeRee]

I always felt that it was weird how many of Ron’s lines about wizarding culture from the books are given to Hermione in the movies. Like why would she know what a “mudblood” is or that hearing voices in the wizarding world isn’t a good sign?

[@austinbyrd4164]

I'm so happy that you watched the extended edition. It added like 25 minutes and made the movie like 20 times better. There's a reason people tend to not like this movie as much and that's why. Trust me, the extended edition is so much better it's insane. Honestly one of the best movies in the series.

[@makslesniewski]

Oooh! I knew I wasn't crazy when I saw all these scenes that weren't there before.

[@hollie5099]

The next film is where things start to get less childish and more creepy!

[@paulinerosa661]

completely agree

[@GettingbywithGerard]

Next film is the most fun out of the lot and best cinematography

[@elizabethstrong6057]

"I didn't know you could read," was improvised by Tom Felton (Draco) I'm excited to have another/new HP reactor to keep tabs on :)

[@MadisonApitz]

Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brain 👀📓

[@bitchmood7658]

The next one is my favourite by far. Alfonso Cuaron did a great job of keeping the magical feel but translating it into darker themes. I sort of wish they'd kept him on. In my opinion, his film tops all of the later David Yates films.

[@travgorin9136]

The movies mature along with the characters in terms of how dark they get. The intro into the movies are a good indication of what to expect. Can't wait for your reaction to POA!

[@johnvelmin3324]

1 & 2: childish 3: transition 4-8: mature and darker

[@paulinerosa661]

yes

[@frankthetank520]

Definitely a good example of a writer maturing her work with her audience. I would say the first 2 thirds of the 4th movie are transition then well you know lol

[@mmay2669]

The street names are a play on words. Diagon Alley = diagonally. Knockturn Alley = nocturnally. Harry pronounced it more like diagonally, which is off kilter. It sent him slightly off. And of course Knockturn alley is dark and sinister. Diagon alley also describes something that is there but sometimes hard to see except by those that know where to look. Think word puzzle where diagonal words are harder to see than those that run vertically and horizontally.

[@superdrummergaming]

No spoilers ahead. "What sort of insult is scarhead?" They're 12, so a reasonably good one. Especially since the scar is linked to the worst trauma of Harry's life. Actually, their age answers a few of your questions. They're young and dumb. Also, going forward, just assume Dumbledore knows almost everything(he's the greatest wizard alive after all) and they make it quite clear when he doesn't know something. The series really gets good after this one and I look forward to your reactions.

[@sam_c95]

Yeah the phoenix was a bit convenient at the end there but what I like is that it was set up before when Dumbledore was telling Harry about phoenixes in his office.

[@laraaraeken]

the next movie has a new director (Alfonso Cuarón), so you can expect a darker feel

[@Hakkar6993]

13:14 That "Can you STOP?" was so perfect, lmao.

[@Evija3000]

Dobby is the epitome of "bless him" :D

[@aaronboone8097]

When Ron says "it's not much but it's home" he's not being sarcastic. Compared to other families in the Wizarding world Ron is quite poor. Now that you've seen the rest of the movies you might have noticed that Ron and his siblings usually get a homemade sweater or scarf for chirtsmas because his family is poor. So that line was kind of showing Ron's maturity that he recognizes that he's poor, but still appreciates it cause Harry's life have taught him to appreciate having a home period. Love your reactions mate!. Bout to spend the next 3 hours going on this journey with ya!

[@delphidelion]

Dobby beating his own heard with the bottle of Skelle-Grow is literally him beating himself with Harry's wallet.

[@fayetopias]

i’m so excited for the third movie! it’s a complete tonal shift from there

[@ChewyPineapple]

20:15 _Homenum Revelio_ A spell that reveals nearby human presence to the caster. Dumbledore doesn't need to wave his wand or say the incantation aloud. Voldemort is the only wizard shown in this series that rivals Dumbledore in power.

[@NoudlePipW]

"Are you fucking Sirius?" Well I'd like a bloody chance...

[@nuimaleko7]

The Ministry of Magic has a trace on all magical children, that is why Dumbledore knows where Harry is.

[@katwebbxo]

I agree, the mystery in the second film is better overall. The first movie has sentimental value for me personally but both are equally nostalgic.

[@taneshadavis2432]

Awesome reaction! His sarcasm is hilarious but you can tell that he's really into the movie

[@mattiusgabe7354]

I believe that Dumbledore hired Gilderoy to expose him. I find it pretty crazy that Hagrid went to school with Voldemort.

[@maskedmarvel09]

I think I recall Gilderoy being the only applicant willing to take on the job. Also why would Dumbledore care about exposing him?

[@mattiusgabe7354]

@@maskedmarvel09 Dumbledore knew two of the wizards Gilderoy framed.

[@maskedmarvel09]

@@mattiusgabe7354 oh really? Who were they? 🤔 did he get exposed to the general wizarding world? I only know what’s in books and movies. Also none of this is rude or sarcastic, Im actually interested haha. Just read it and thought could be read that way, and didn’t want you to get that impression

[@angeladonohue4592]

This one of the HarryPotter series has to be one of my favorite. Both movie and book wise. I have a brother that is very hard to please when it comes to movies and he always believes that sequels are always crap. He loves this one the best.

[@nolifegirlie]

In the book they did mention what will happen if you said it wrong,you'll end up in a wrong place well they didn't explain in the movie which probably confused people who haven't read Harry Potter Floo powder is what you call it but just incase you don't understand it's the green flames when Harry said Diagon Alley wrong (Ngl I thought the way Harry said Diagon Alley was the right way to say it lmao)

[@debranichakraborty6004]

you are right about the nostalgia thing. The 1st movie reminds me of the first time I was introduced to the world as a kid and how i believed in it so much. It was a big part of my childhood

[@sofiabecerra-wilson2094]

It just gets even better from here. From now on, it does get darker. The next one is a fan favourite!

[@resathe6760]

Setting the book on fire (at least normal fire) would've done actually nothing but you will have to wait for the explanation until the 6th and 7th film because explaining now would be a huge spoiler :)

[@deenormus1975]

🤔I couldn’t decide if u were gonna b a Ravenclaw or a Gryffindor bc ur very practical, smart, quick, witty, while ur reactions already showed bravery & loyalty. So 👏sorting hat sorted u right - welcome to Gryffindor, m’friend😉

[@thetruered3115]

When is the next one?

[@amywilson2292]

Love this film but this series just get better and better

[@nolifegirlie]

The Harry Potter logo will get darker and kind of 'dustier' (you know what I mean?) after the third movie if you notice (because the movie is getting darker of course)

[@saklee1777]

0:15 longest film in the series? i seriously doubt that. its one of the shorter films in the series. the first and second books are the smallest

[@promisemochi]

the movies get darker and more mature as they go on. the first one is good because it sets a certain tone of everything kind of being innocent and shiny, setting up the magic and sparkle of hogwarts - the feasts, the fun bits of magic we see, etc. but as each film goes on, the themes get darker and darker and more mature as the characters mature as well. there's a reason the first one is always aired at christmas time as a christmas special along with christmas themed movies, there's a certain tone that it has. while it's not necessarily 'worse' than the other films, there is a signficant change in tone and theme. things will get darker. you'll begin to see more side characters and back story. and i have a feeling with each movie, you'll have a similar feeling of them just improving with each one you watch

[@yustymusic]

Yes! I know I have an amazing half an hour ahead of me now! Love your reactions and looove Harry Potter ❤️ by the way, this one is one of my favourites along with 6th and 8th movies :)

[@BeatGoat]

The first three movies are probably my favorite ones out of the entire series. They just flow so well and have that magical atmosphere. Starting with Goblet of Fire they begin to feel like cliff-notes versions of the books to me. Too fragmented.

[@TheRealMrMackey]

Aight I can’t lie your commentary is hilarious, you’ve earned my sub

[@TheAlkochef]

Remember that the weasleys for example, thinks he knows more when it comes to magic since he's a wizard, but in the end he is clueless

I’ve watched too much of your Better Call Saul full streams I’m just not used to an edited video from you anymore 😂 The next Potter movie and book is personally my favorite, but it does get massively grander in scale as the story progresses. And there was a video game with this exact scene.

great reaction! And yes, liking this one more than the first is unusual, but I personally agree with you.

[@stayslaying2415]

movies 3 and 4 are the best in my opinion cant waitttt

[@sam_c95]

Chamber of Secrets used to be my least favourite, I think partly because they're still young and it shows a bit in the acting (that improves from the next movie onwards), but also because as a kid I found it the scariest! But now I'd say it's one of my favourites because of how everything ties back in to be relevant so neatly - Moaning Myrtle, the diary at the beginning, the spiders, the mandrakes, Dobby, the phoenix, Parseltongue, the history of the Chamber, Tom Riddle, etc. I do like it more than Philosopher's Stone for sure. And the next one, Prisoner of Azkaban, is my absolute favourite!

[@ptitepeluche05]

Same, it was my least favourite because it was the scariest of the first three. But now I really like it.

[@leora8278]

Love your reactions and hope you get to the next ones soon. 3 and 4 are my favorites. I enjoy this one too though.

[@toodlescae]

I watched Sorcerer's Stone for the first time in my 40's. I favor that one because I love the world building and the sense of wonder Harry feels as he discovers everything.

[@TAG152gaming]

This is probably still my favorite Harry Potter movie

[@MI-hz1cp]

Tom Riddle used an anagram with his name to become Lord Voldemort

[@maskedmarvel09]

This is one of my favourite of the series, not a big fan of the later ones (5 onwards). I love the early years, learning magic alongside Harry, and yeah theres nostalgia, but learning magic at any age I feel has a childlike wonder, so having kids their age discovering it just makes it for me

[@KitsyX]

The weird thing with these films is that you can judge them in different ways... If you judge on the films alone, you might not judge the same as if you're comparing to the books... I know the books, so I personally have more issues with films 4, 6 and 7+8, but even though I'm not keen on the adaptations, arguably they could be better as films compared to others... I think I'd say 6 is my least favourite, but that's not to say it can't be enjoyable.

[@dawnfinch6283]

Malfoys dad was about to give Harry the killing curse possibly and dobby saved him

[@emilyk6166]

If you put the captions on it shows he was saying a different curse, it just sounds like avada kedavra

[@ChewyPineapple]

29:37 I agree. I liked the plot better....though like all of the Harry Potter films, it didn't do justice to the spirit of the source book for me. Chamber of Secrets was easily my favorite book of the first 3. The core mystery is compelling, and the sense of danger once the Chamber is opened is immense. The entire school is at constant risk of fatal or near-fatal attack from a completely unknown threat for months on end. The amount of fear and panic this caused in the school was (sadly) understated in the film. From an artistic perspective, the VFX alone were significantly improved (some of the creature shots were actually practical, rather than CGI). Fawkes looked amazing and the Basilisk looked pretty great too. I was a bit meh on the hydraulic Aragog but I appreciate the attempt. People like to apologize for some of the goofy CGI in the early Harry Potter films by claiming ''product of their time''...but the mere fact of the Lord of the Rings trilogy being in production at the same time refutes that argument. Most of the issues with the first film carried on to the second...particularly the way every spell is executed much too slowly with an overabundance of fanfare. Fortunately that issue goes away in the third film, and largely stays away.

[@luciazaviacicova3594]

I also think this movie is way better than the first one. But of course I love all of them

[@iki4584]

from the next movie is gonna be better and better!!! can't wait to see your reaction! 🔥

[@hotdisaster2178]

100% agree that this one is better and I believe they each get better and better. If I had to give an order it would go: 5, 7.5, 7, 6, 3=4, 2, 1. A lot of people think 4 is great and dislike 5, but I have more of an interest in politics and 5 is a very politically focused movie.

If you haven’t seen Lord of the Rings, I’d highly recommend them. Harry Potter (along with every other high fantasy franchise) has borrowed heavily from it in order to create their own stories. They are long, and I do recommend the Extended Editions, but they’d be right up your alley.

25:47 Nooope, there is only one type of (cursed, magical) fire that would have destroyed that diary and it would've burned a whole wing of the castle down too. The books always reveal loads more in the way of lore, but even the later films will drop some more info about how the diary worked.

[@DrVVVinK]

I'm assuming you never read the books

[@nickmanzo8459]

I always hated the design of Gryffindor’s sword in this movie. It’s slender and tiny and more a French design. It doesn’t fit the time period, nor the nationality of its supposed wielder. That being said, this is a much better film than the first, but the next one is my personal favorite book and film.

[@maskedmarvel09]

I agree about the sword, it looks a bit flimsy compared to something that I think Gryffindor would have had. I think it also would have added to the bravery and daring of Harry during that scene, wielding something that was too big for him and struggling, but still trying

[@igorthadeu6094]

Hi friend, Can you react to The lady of heaven trailer? it caused a lot of controversy. It's already more than 2 million views in youtube.

[@IanM92]

Actually the ending is very lazy. Harry is literally given everything in the ending. Nothing was earned. It’s the weakest ending in any of the books/films. Compare it to the first film where all 3 heroes had to use their skills to overcome obstacles and here Harry is literally just given everything he needs to succeed. It’s deus Ex machina overload. And I say this as a huge Harry Potter fan but this the weakest story of all of them.

[@MrHimself98]

Ok

[@erikperhs_]

I agree. Also, how thick are the walls if the basilisk travels inside them? And how didn't any of the painting see anything? And how did Slytherin hide a huge chamber in the castle if Rowena Ravenclaw was the one who built it? Aaaand why is Lockhart in this movie?

[@janetuss6496]

I agree that there’s a bit more deus ex machina than the other books, but I wouldn’t say harry had an easier time in this one either. He still had to use an incredible amount of bravery and wit to save himself, he could have easily died at certain points. I mean if I had to face off with a basilisk at age 12, I would have faltered for sure (but then again, I’m not a Gryffindor). And he could have easily just ignored the Sorting Hat because it seemed useless in a fight, but he trusted his loyalty to Dumbledore. And he displayed wit by thinking to use the basilisk fang to stab the diary …it might seem obvious to readers now, but I probably couldn’t have thought of that, especially under duress and threat of imminent death. I don’t think the ending was lazy writing at all, this is the ending that sets up a ton of future plot points.

[@ChewyPineapple]

​@@erikperhs_ - Very thick. The castle is gigantic, the walls of Hogwarts are full of all sorts of hidden things...secret passageways, an entire room whose door only appears at certain times...and some basilisk-sized pipes. - Did you see any portraits in the corridors where Mrs Norris, Justin & Nearly-Headless Nick were found? - The Chamber isn't so much *in* the castle as excavated out of the bedrock underneath it, with a tunnel connecting it to the existing drainage system from the bathroom Myrtle now haunts. Slytherin would have done all that in secret before leaving the school, but well after it opened to students. -Lockhart is in the movie because he's the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher for Harry's second year, in the book on which this film is based.

[@ChewyPineapple]

If you thought this was too much Deus ex machina I'd give the rest of the series a miss. Harry's plot armor only gets thicker from here.
