You are correct, if your team is down by 160 points and your seeker catches the golden snitch, you lose the game straight away by 10 points.

[@einflinkeswiesel2695]

isn't that what happened in the fourth book? (it doesn't happen in the movie so technically it's not a spoiler but in the World Cup final Viktor Krum caught the snitch at that moment to avoid loosing higher than they already did)

Glad you started your journey into the Harry Potter world. The movies in this series get more adult as they progress and as the characters grow up. You won't be disappointed. Great reaction!

[@JakeReactsYT]

Thank you!!!

[@MsAppassionata]

@@JakeReactsYT Yes that’s true. They got darker and more mature (especially after the second film) as the fans grew up reading the books and watching these films. That’s why they had such a profound effect on the generation that grew up with with this story. They aged as the characters aged.

[@genny5309]

1:03:42 Dumbledore basically gave them back the 150 points they lost for being out after dark at Hagrid’s hut, plus a bit more.

[@LadyGreensleeves33]

The thing with the HP books and movies, is that they mature in complexity and content with the characters. So this one is the most innocent/straightforward and kids movie-esque because the characters are 11, they're in their first year, etc. But as they get older, and are introduced to the darker and more dangerous aspects of the world, the stories get darker and more complex too. But it maintains a throughline of lightheartedness.

[@LaurinGarcia]

Quidditch has 7 players in each team. 3 Chasers 2 Beaters 1 Keeper 1 Seeker The Chasers are in charge of scoring goals by catching the Quaffle balls and throwing them into one of 3 hoops at the other team's side of the field. Beaters are in charge of protecting their players from getting hit by the Blugger balls with wooden bat's. They are also in charge of hitting the opposing team with the bluggers by using their bats. The Keeper's job is to protect their team's hoops by not allowing the opposing team to score any goals by blocking the Quaffle and preventing it from getting through their hoops. The Seeker's job is to find the Snitch and catch it before the other team does. Once the Snitch is caught then the game ends. You Don't necessarily win when you catch the snitch. Yes, the snitch is 150 points and the game does end when the snitch is caught. But the team that catches the snitch can loose the game if the opposing team had already gained far more points prior to the snitch being caught. So it's important to score as many points as possible with the Quaffle and hoops before any seeker of any team catches the snitch causing the game to end. Unfortunately, they never show it in any of the Harry Potter movies (so this is not a spoiler to any future Potter movies) but in one of the books Harry witnesses a certain team loose a certain Quidditch match dispite that team's Seeker having caught the snitch. BTW, did you know that people became such a massive fan of the fictional sport of Quidditch that college students made it into a real world international sport that are played in real colleges all over the world. Players compete with broomstick between their legs and the snitch is a person (dressed in gold with a handkerchief tucked into his or her's belt) running around all over the place. The seeker has to catch the person playing as the snitch by grabbing onto the handkerchief and pulling it off the snitch's body. You can do a KZbin search and view a few matches played in different countries. I have seen 2 or 3 Quidditch matches in person back in the day. Tons of fun. If you ever want to know how Quidditch is played and it's fictional history the author of Harry Potter, JK Rowling also wrote other books for charities. One of them is called Quidditch Through the Ages and it is written as if it were one of Harry Potter's text books. 🧹📚

[@Cameron5043]

There's a video out there of skydivers...with brooms and quaffles...playing Quiditch before they have to open their parachutes, I kid you not!

[@laismorganakoester6116]

In the books, if i not mistaken, it's said that a quidditch match can last for months till someone catches the golden snitch.

[@Ely88Keys]

You’re one of the most observant HP reactors I’ve seen! Def subscribing, can’t wait to see the rest of the series!

[@JakeReactsYT]

wow that means a lot thank you!!

[@sp72929]

Wow, you are probably the first person I know who actually got it right that catching the snitch does not automatically mean to win but only ends the game and gives you a massive point gain without reading the books where it is explained in a lot more detail. It gives you a huge advantage, but if takes long enough to catch the snitch and the other team has enough points, you still can lose. You are very perceptive of small details and you catch on a lot more than most people do watching the movies for the first time without knowing the books. To explain the "protection" - Harry's mother Lily sacrificed herself for him, her love evoking powerful ancient protective magic so that "Volkswagen" (made me nearly choke by the way 🙂and Covid-test for the wand in the trolls nose was great too!) can't touch Harry directly. Btw the Harry Potter movies are NOT sequels - the main storyline spans all 7 books (or 8 movies). Each book for one year at Hogwarts and what happens during that year - it comes to a conclusion but the main story runs through all of them and there are clues from the very beginning which makes this saga so unique. And the fact the story, the children and the little actors grow to adulthood in front of you.

[@timimaksai8081]

I was thinking the same! I have watched many reactors before and he is the only one who understood the point system of the game. I don't blame the rest though, the explanation in the film is not so clear.

[@hennakettunen8755]

​@@JakeReactsYT Well you aren't called the best reaction channel on the internet for nothing. 😉

[@learobinson4450]

So glad to have found another reactor watching HP. One suggestion - turn on the subtitles/close captioning so you can still follow the dialog when speaking for your reactions. HP is very dialogue driven & something mentioned in passing in one movie becomes vital in another movie so it’s important to know what’s being said. Plus HP is full of Latin words & phrases & lots of unusual names so seeing the words helps the viewer follow the story. HP is designed to grow with the 3 main characters so the first movie is more childlike & each subsequent movie becomes more mature & darker in its themes. Harry must live with his Aunt Petunia for his own safety. Harry’s mother willingly sacrificed her own life to save her baby son & as Dumbledore mentioned, that left a lingering protection. Dumbledore used that to create a protective enchantment to keep Harry safe from Lord V & his followers. That enchantment requires that Harry live with a blood relative of his mother’s - her older sister, Petunia. As Dumbledore tells Harry in the book “As long as you can call home the place where your mother’s blood dwells you cannot be harmed.” So Harry has to return to the Dursley’s every summer for a few weeks to keep the enchantment in place. His aunt Petunia knows about it since Dumbledore told her what he had done in the letter he left with baby Harry. That’s why she took him into her home, despite being jealous of her sister. She knows by bringing Harry into her home she is keeping him safe. I’m really looking forward to seeing all of your HP reactions. It’s a wonderful series.

I love when someone shows their emotions that means to me they are really genuine and invested. Potterheads like me love seeing tears: believe me we understand every single drop. Thank you for your vulnerability, it's greatly appreciated. This world is an escape for many of us therefore means a lot. I hope for COS video pop up soon on your channel. Thanks again!

[@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. 🏰🪄

[@amber.ren_1995]

Only with Voldemort his skin/touch burns him. Harry’s skin/touch won’t burn anyone else. Just Voldemort. 😊

[@ym10up]

Give him a COVID test is such a vivid description of that scene that didn't exist when the movie was made 😂

[@glowormrdr6183]

Important point: the entire series was planned as one long story arc, so watch for ongoing clues. First year; 11 year olds. Second year; 12 year olds. etc until 7th year. From 2nd - 6th years, details are lost because the books get too long for the movies.

[@resathe6760]

Loved your reaction and how perceptive you are with details. You are dead on with Petunia. It's only explained in the last book I think but it isn't really explained in the movies. Also about Dudley's pigtail Hagrid gave him. In the books he tells Harry he meant to transform Dudley into a whole pig but he also says it wouldn't have made that much of a difference anyway ;D Harry is really rich. His father's side of the family was pretty wealthy and then Harry's grandpa quadrupled the family fortune with the development of sleekeazy's hair potion. I don't think there is much of a method for deciding which wand fits you. There are a few things that could point in the right direction. Hagrid for example had a pretty long wand because he is so big but on the other hand a short wand is often a sign for lacking in character. So it's basically just try and error. In the books Harry tried dozens if not hundreds of wands until he found the right one and Ollivander got happier the longer it took ;D The sorting hat does indeed judge your character. It was made by the founders of Hogwarts and has sortet all students since the founders couldn't do it themselves anymore. In the book he only says the result out loud the rest of the conversation only happens in the head of the kid wearing it. The first movies are pretty predictable if you watch them as an adult. Remember they were targeted to kids. They get crazier later on. Quidditch is a bit odd even in the books but the first explanation in the movie makes no sense. Lee Jordan, the commentator of the game gives the better explanation. The game ends when you catch the snitch, you don't automatically win. It gets you 150 points though, so often it does mean you win. But you are correct, if the other team leads with more than 150 points they win regardless The protection Harry has only helps against Voldemort not any bad wizard.

[@robertcartier5088]

My daughter, who was a fan of the books before any of the movies were out, was so keen on making me care about these stories that she gave me a crash course. She read to me the entire second novel!

I like that you're noticing disparities. Kids brought up in wizard/witch households already have magic knowledge. Some, like Hermione and Harry, are from Muggle households and have to catch up. But - they also know how to use phones, computers and other things magic kids don't.

Nicholas Flamel is the only real life historical person mentioned in the Harry Potter stories.

[@thewhitewolf7728]

Not sure if anyone mentioned it yet for you. But Harry's mom sacrificing herself to save Harry provided a protection against Volkswagen so he can't touch Harry. Because he was part of the professor then the professor also could not have Harry touch him. Also it's easily overlooked but Ron playing that chess match is masterful because he has to play it knowing he can't risk the other two being taken so his strategy had to be near perfect. LOVE this series and hope you do as well!!

[@needyverse]

Also, Ron can't just get off the horse - once he took the knight position, he had to follow the rules. The knight piece doesn't split in two during chess. Also, as he has entered a magical contract to be the knight piece, any damage done to 'the knight' is still felt by Ron, even if the sword isn't shown slicing directly into his 11 year old body (in a PG rated film for kids lol). That's why he screams before he hits the ground.

[@Sovreign071]

I read somewhere that the chess consultant set up the endgame so Ron had a choice: sacrifice Harry, and mate the king himself. Or sacrifice himself, and let Harry win. The fact he never mentioned the former option to Harry shows he KNEW Harry would try to sacrifice himself. Granted, read on the internet. But sounds plausible! Also, in the book, the Trio just straight up replaced their pieces, so there was no horse to jump off of. Obviously a choice to keep it family friendly.

[@timimaksai8081]

[@Cinesta76]

When Hermione says expelled she literally means ex spelled. They would be kicked out of school and never allowed to use magic again for the rest of their lives. And with Quidditch, the snitch catch ends the game, but doesn't mean an automatic win to the catchers team. If team A has 160 points and team B has 0 but team B seeker catches the snitch, team A wins because they are ahead on points by 10 as the snitch is worth 150. Btw. You did great. I loved the reaction and can't wait for the rest of your HP journey. Any questions please ask and I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that we will try to answer in a way to avoid spoilers.

As I'm obsessed with wands here's some wand lore for you 🙂 The wands are not a big deal really. They're important, yes, but not the main. Your magic comes from you, but not from your wand. A wand helps a wizard or a witch to direct magic and makes magic more comfortable to use for them. But especially talented or trained wizards or witches can produce spells without using their wands. So could Dumbledore, or Volkswagen, etc. Every wand is made from a different type of wood and contains a core wich is some powerful magical substance like phoenix feather, or dragon's heartstring, or unicorn hair. "the wand chooses the wizard". That's very important thing. Wands are kinda alive creatures in some way, they sort of have mind of their own and every wand has it's own personality depending of the materials what were used to make them. The wand learns along with it's owner, some wands can even 'die'.

This way, the seeker needs to catch the pigeon with the correct score difference, not only to win the match, but also to take the lead in the table and beat the other houses that also played and had scores 👍🏻

As a huge HP fan all I can say is Enjoy!!! 😊 P.S thanks for keeping an open mind and willing to watch HP.

Many of the places are real in the UK but it is filmed at a lot of locations: the lake is Loch Shield in Scotland, outside is Alnwick castle, interiors include Gloucester cathedral, but if you want the full experience then visit the studios in Watford (north of London) for the Harry Potter tour. You will meet creatures in the 3rd film (start of the 'adult' films) which represent depression. Note Christopher Columbus's daughter (Eleanor) is the red headed Hufflepuff in the 1st 2 films who sits next to Hermione (Susan Bones).

As head of Gryffindor house McGonagall can take points from Gryffindor's but not a Slytherin (Malfoy). But she can give any student detention.

I don’t know how you managed to react to four Harry Potter movies without me finding out! I search for new reactors reacting to Harry Potter! I watched your Goblet of Fire already, now I’m coming back to watch the first three. Oh, I came to watch your other reactions because your GOF was a good reaction video. Keep up the good and natural reactions🫶🏽 (some reactors try too hard)

[@theirishslyeyes]

Yay!!!! I can't wait to watch this!! I love longer reactions to the Harry Potter movies!! 🙌🏻 🙌🏻 🙌🏻

[@JakeReactsYT]

Awesome, glad to hear it, I was worried it was too long 😂

[@theirishslyeyes]

@@JakeReactsYT I think most of the Harry Potter people prefer longer reactions (if you can swing them, we understand copywrite issues!). I also appreciated how your timed your comments, you were aware of not talking over the characters and still gave a great reaction! Well done! As a cereal loving Hufflepuff, I can't wait to see the next! 💛🖤💛🖤

Sorceror's Stone = US version Philosopher's Stone = UK and other countries' verson I'm here for Harry Potter and Game of Thrones. The Airbender anime seems to be popular, but I haven't seen it. I'd love to see your reactions to The Truman Show, Sixth Sense, and the TV show, Friends.

About damn time! LOL! Totally kidding! Glad you were finally able to get past the copyright police. :)

[@JakeReactsYT]

Haha thank you, it was stressful 😩

[@marthaanderson2656]

you will enjoy this series very much. You pegged the Aunts jealousy right off the top. The cast of adult actors in this series is a whos who of British theatre. Enjoy your journey.

[@YenellyT]

Yes you are right, most kids, including ron, practice flying and magic at home, since they have other wizards at home, they can't detect if its the minor doing magic haha. Also since Hermione does not come from magic parents, and she likes to be prepared, she studied all summer to know all those spells, she really wanted to prove herself, and didn't want to feel inferior. Harry was not prepared at all, so I would like to think he's very much a natural.

[@RiverGodess]

I loved this reaction! You are so funny in an effortless sort of way. You would drop these casual one-liners that would genuinely make me laugh out loud. Please never feel like you have to filter how much you talk. The thing I’ve noticed over many years of watching a lot of KZbin is that you’ll find the audience that fits your videos. So do whatever makes you happy/feels authentic to you. ❤ Looking forward to the rest of the reactions!

[@carleyrenee8109]

18:57 "I wanna go here!" And that is why the harry potter series was so famous. Fantastical setting that all kids who liked to daydream and read thought about :)

I love your mental health note at the end. I've been out of therapy for a bit because I moved, so your thoughts were welcome to hear.

[@JakeReactsYT]

Glad you appreciate them, and I hope you’re doing well 😊

[@lechat8533]

@Jake Reacts I enjoyed your HP reaction, and that doesn`t happen very often. So, thank you!❤ There is one thing you should know and always keep in mind, which is that Voldemort tried to kill Harry when there was a war going on between the good and the dark wizards. Voldemort`s killing spell rebounded and his own spell hit him back. It was Harry`s mother`s love spell that protected Harry. Harry isn`t just "The Boy Who Lived", as they call him, he is the boy who stopped the war. Once Voldemort had to hide his weak appearance, the dark wizards lost their leader, and the war ended. Those who fought on Dumbledore`s side love Harry, and Voldemort`s people despise him.

[@JakeReactsYT]

oh wow! That's very interesting, appreciate that insight thank you!

[@lechat8533]

@@JakeReactsYT Can`t wait for your next HP reaction🤗

[@scottswenson383]

The reason that Quirrel couldn't bear to have Harry touch him is due to the sacrifice that Harry's mom made to save him. When Voldemort turned up he really didn't care much about killing Harry's parents unless they got in the way (which they did). He told Lily Potter to step aside but she wouldn't. Her sacrifice was a form of old magic (easily overlooked). Voldemort wanted Harry dead in the worst way and isn't a particularly sentimental guy so what Lily had done for Harry really didn't register with him. From that point on however Voldemort couldn't harm Harry, which is why the curse he tried to use to kill Harry rebounded and nearly killed him instead. There is a reason he didn't die but you'll discover that as you go thru the series. Anyway, since Quirrel had old Voldy sticking out the back of his head Lily's sacrifice carried over to him as well.

[@jimbearone]

Professor Quirrel was the host of Voldemort and when Lilly Potter deliberately sacrificed herself to save Harry it created a very special charm using ancient, little known magic that was infused into Harry, the protection charm would prevent Voldemort from ever harming Harry, it was created using her Love for him and powered by the life force she sacrificed, because of this, the Death Curse Voldemort tried to cast on Harry was reflected back to Voldemort and it destroyed his body and now that protection keeps Voldemort from even touching Harry without destroying whatever body he is in.

[@miragowaikar98]

out of all the reactions that i've watched for this movie, you figured out that the little package was the sorcerers stone the fastest. also loving the hour + long reactions

[@sarahrosencrans2402]

To answer your question about Quidditch (the sport). They did not explain it super well in the film. The small ball, called the golden snitch, is worth 150 points and catching it is what ends the game. Due to how many points it is worth, in many cases catching the snitch means victory for the team who caught it. However it is technically possible for the team that did NOT catch the snitch to win if they are far enough ahead in points when the snitch was caught.

[@timimaksai8081]

* 150 points

[@sarahrosencrans2402]

@@timimaksai8081 yes, 150. typo

[@timimaksai8081]

@@sarahrosencrans2402 good explanation though! I believe there's also a data in the history of Quidditch book about the longest game of history because no one caught the snitch 😂 but i don't remember the exact information

Love how your reactions are not extra like some people going OH MY GOD at every little thing - your reactions seem genuine and I love it! Hope you enjoy HP, it was my childhood c:

[@berrytyrant]

Ohh...it is always a treat when you see yet another person getting soaked up into magical world. Following your journey will be interesting to follow, you already show great promise of understanding how these things will work. These movies and books originally appeared one in each year...so we audience grew up at the same pace as the actors did. It was always looooong wait with excitement until next instalment would come up. We had long ride with Potter and the friends, but it was well worth it and now I get to to live the excitement again with all you starry eyed reactioners. I'm already looking forward for the next film with you...hurry up!

Hey Jake, I just wanted to say thank you for your little part on mental health. When you’ve said that “even if it’s just one person, it is important.” I can relate to that. So, thank you for your interest and kindness. You made me happy with that reaction! As an autistic person I totally understand the fact that sometimes, we are struggling a lot with mental health and your advices were fabulous 🙏🏼 I really hope that your own mental health is fine at the moment, if it’s not the case, don’t forget to take care of yourself PS : I love HP universe and the way you have react to the first one! I will follow you all over the journey Have a nice day ✨

Philosophers Stone is the official and Original Title of the book published by Bloomsbury and Rowling in UK. However US publishers scholastic Inc changed it in the US to Sorcerer's Stone.

[@VonOutlaw]

The whole thing about Harry burning people know that does not happen it only happens to Voldemort whenever Voldemort touches him or since Voldemort was sharing quills body quill was able to get burned by Harry because Voldemort can't touch Harry because of the protection

[@TheCoderJo]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on mental health. I'm there with you ❤

[@thiagogaspar00]

The film doesn't explain this, but the quadriball points are accumulated... example: there were several games in the semester and the final score is Gryffindor with 800 points and Slytherin with 1000; and it's the last game of the semester... Harry could only catch the golden pigeon when he had a 60 point advantage, because 150 + 60 is 210 and with that they would have 1010 at the end of the semester... if Herey took it with less than 60 points in the game, they would end the semester with less than 1000 and lose the cup

[@JakeReactsYT]

It will be up on patreon this friday or saturday most likely, apologies for the week break for youtube, i want to keep all audiences happy :) Thank you for being here, I appreciate it

[@ferencercseyravasz7301]

Great reaction! - Ferrero Rocher - I nearly spit out my wine :))))) Now if you think that this one has surprisingly dark and adult themes, wait for the rest! This one is the most lighthearted. Mostly because the characters are 11 and the main role of this first part is to introduce this world to you through their (mostly Harry's) eyes. But as they grow so does the story, the plot. The last book is nothing short of a brutally honest treatise on morality on the topic of death. The movies don't really make it clear, but it's good to know that magic has rules. It's not like anything is possible, that would end in a very boring story. Some things are simply not possible. For example you cannot create food out of nothing. When you see that feast appearing on the tables, it has been prepared in the kitchen right under the Great Hall and laid on four similar tables. Dumbledore simply summons the food. Fun fact: they filmed those scenes for days and during all that time the food had to be on the tables in the sweltering heat. Imagine the smell by the end! A similar but far more important rule: no spell can reawaken the dead. There's simply no way to bring back Harry's parents or anyone else who died. Another fine detail is that there's a lot more to magic than just having the powers, a wand and the right spell. Character and intentions matter in magic. A lot. How did Voldemort know that Harry had the stone? Well, he is a highly accomplished Legilimens. Legilimency is an obscure branch of magic that allows one to basically read minds. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask, I'm a massive Potterhead at 50 years of age, having read the entire series at least 15 times, also having watched and listened to every available interview with the author, I can probably answer. Of course I won't if the answer would spoil anything.

[@JakeReactsYT]

Thanks for all the info! And I hope you don't spit out your wine, that's a huge no no 😂

[@RiseeRee]

Yay! I love a Harry Potter reaction 😊 This isn’t obvious in the movies, but canonically, Harry looks pretty much exactly like his father, but he has his mother’s eyes. Harry’s hair even naturally has this windswept look his father always did with his hair. So although most wizards know of Harry, anyone who knew James Potter can physically recognize Harry on sight.

[@VonOutlaw]

I know in the movie it says that Harry's father was a Seeker, unfortunately this isn't true he played with the golden snitch in the book but JK Rowling even stated that he was a chaser, not a secret. Still though the game of quidditch is in his blood

[@nightowlnzab]

Dumbledore: "There are ways in which he can return..." Jake: "Really?" Me: "Yes, plus they've got 7 more movies to stretch out..." 😅

That was a great reaction. Welcome to the world of HP. The movie gets more mature and darker as they go along.

[@TabbyQ.9563]

18:33 It's not a real castle. Keep in mind that Rowling lived in Edinburgh while writing this book. There is a castle in Edinburgh high on a cliff with a (dry) lake and a train station at its base. She had to have been partially inspired by Edinburgh Castle.

The University of Pittsburgh's "Cathedral of Learning" looks like Hogwarts in the lower levels. Worth a Google Image search for the "Cathedral of Learning". Or as my friends who went to college in Pittsburgh called it, "Drunk Polaris, because when you're staggering home drunk at night anywhere in the college campus neighborhoods of Pittsburgh can clearly see the Cathedral of Learning standing tall above the city, meaning drunk college kids can always find their way back to their dorms.

Wizard's chess - you mentioned the pieces are intact when Harry, Ron and Hermione enter the room, and suggest that must mean no one else has gone through that room before them. Wizards and witches don't buy a new chess set every time they want to play 😆 It's magic! The pieces simply go back to normal once the game is over, and the same goes for this giant version of wizard's chess. The only difference is that Ron isn't a magical chess piece, so his injuries don't go away.
