Stumbled upon your youtube channel yesterday and i'm absolutely in love with your reactions!!!! Immediately subscribed. So excited to binge watch your HP videos. :) You two are so lovely!!

[@TheHappyCryers]

To be completely honest with you, we were both having a rough day and your comment made our entire day!🤗 welcome to our channel, we are so happy to have you join us! Comment means so much to us. 🙌🏻 Yes, please! We would love to hear what you think of our HP reactions! We can’t wait to hear from you again!! - Daniela & Chris

[@EMDNA_]

I'm a bit tipsy and your comment is about to make me cry you guys are so lovely!! I absolutely LOVED your HP reactions. I binge watched everything in one day(stayed up till 7AM lol) and i'm currently waiting for the next upload of the Fantastic Beasts Series. I cried along with Daniela whenever she cried during the HP movies. I wish you guys so much love and health, i hope Daniela's pregnancy is going well and that she is resting as much as she can. Please keep up the good work!!

[@ptitepeluche05]

It's funny you said Arthur kept his cool because of his kids being there because in the book, he and Lucius actually have a fight right in the middle of the library :D

[@TheHappyCryers]

That’s such a difference from the movies! I wonder why they made it so differently but it was nice to see in the movie that they kept his cool. It showed he was the bigger man. Thanks for that cool fact! - Daniela

[@Dropnostop]

@@TheHappyCryersthere’s like a million physical fights and altercations between characters in the books, especially the kids. Hope to see that in the TV series.

[@YenellyT]

Same I'm so excited because I heard it should be more accurate storywise@@Dropnostop

[@ranniwolves]

since you’re finished with this series i’ll try to explain voldemort’s lineage in an easy way bc it’s so confusing, lol. his mother (merope gaunt) was a witch who used a love potion on the muggle man she fell in love with, that being tom riddle sr. she had a child with him (voldemort) under that love potion, and eventually stopped giving it to him thinking that tom sr would stay on his own accord. he did not, and left the pregnant merope alone. she gave birth and died in the orphanage we see in the 6th movie, leaving voldemort an orphan. he grew up hating muggles because of his father and eventually killed him. this is what lead to his radical hatred of all muggles, coupled with the fact that he is literally unable to feel love due to being conceived under a love potion. also, his mother is a descendant of salazar slytherin, which is why he is the heir! i hope this makes sense!

[@toodlescae]

She would *really* love Dobby in the books since we get to know him better in the books than the movies.

[@user-kj1pq6zh3x]

Love how you appreciate the creator of HP!

[@chris...9497]

Vernon Dursley comes from a very conservative English family. They like things to be normal and dependable, predictable. They have nothing but contempt for those who show off or act unusual. They have no patience or respect for anything weird. And it's not merely a thing of not wanting to be around weird or unusual things, but a deep desire to put down anything weird or unusual. Petunia Dursley grew up resentful over her sister Lily having magical powers she never had. There was such fuss over Lily going off to Hogwarts (plus, Petunia did write Hogwarts, asking to attend, but off course was turned down; Hogwarts is where magical training and strengthening is taught, and Petunia was straight muggle). Being saddled with baby Harry was bad enough, but Harry has her sister's eyes; can't have been easy raising the child of her dead sister. The Dursleys don't so much hate Harry as they hate the weirdness associated with him (or the guilt Petunia is likely to feel resenting Harry and feeling guilty for resenting him). Harry would do much better with them if he just renounced the weirdness and settled down to somber sober living, if he was just NORMAL. Instead, his weird witchy parents got blown up, Harry is dumped on their doorstep to raise, and they feel like they've been stuck with the cost and inconvenience. You'll notice they stuffed Harry in the least bit of space they could find, clothed him in Dudley's old clothes, and try to get compensation by requiring him to do tasks around the house. Basically, he's not seen as part of their family, just a burden foisted on them under threat from a powerful wizard (Dumbledore). Vernon says he doesn't want to pay some old fool to teach the boy 'magic tricks' (actually, Hogwarts education is free, the food is free, the sheltering is free, the travel covered; all Harry has to do is buy his school uniforms, books, and basic school supplies). The Dursleys hate encouraging the weirdness more than having Harry good for most of the year; Harry will just return between terms more established in the 'nonsense'. They just want to put a stop to it and for Harry to settle down to being a normal person. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ This was not a 'sequel'. The Potter books and the Potter film franchise were never conceived as a first publication/release followed by sequels. JK Rowling spent 17 years working through the story as a lengthy saga. She wrote it as one long story. Part of why it hangs so well together is that she went through it forwards and backwards and sideways and all around to nail down and interweave everything in the story. She wrote, rewrote, edited, interjected, expanded, condensed, and filled out everything in the saga to make it rich and deep. She selected where to introduce new concepts and where to do callbacks; what might seem like a throwaway in one book/film returns several books/films later as a pivotal item. It was all planned that way from the start. A sequel has to function within the parameters of the original story canon. One of the reasons sequels are so unsatisfying is because they end up feeling watered down having shot their original ideas in the first production. Sequels aren't as innovative because the parameters stifle creativity. Sequels are add-ons working under the weight and confined by the structure of previous completed works. The Potter saga as a completed work is the sum total of ALL its books/films; each book/film is a chapter in the whole. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ JK Rowling is a genius for writing a story so big that it not only covers the growth and maturation of the characters but also stays in step with the books' readership, being published annually and the reading level advancing with each book. But Wait! There's MORE!!! The metaphysics were deeply researched; these aren't purely made up, but rest on actual historical references. There was a time when being educated meant taking the metaphysics in this book as serious science and applied/theoretical knowledge. Even the robes and gothic environment mirrors 15th and 16th century college/university custom. Consider, 'PhD' stands for 'Doctor of Philosophy'; it references learning a branch of Natural Philosophy, what we call 'physics' today. Natural Philosophy was the study of how Nature is formed and functions. Now consider that Latin was considered the language of education. Spells and incantations have historically been spoken in Latin since the Middle Ages; you see this in surviving woodcuts and manuscripts from that era. But WAIT!!! There's MORE!!!!! If you delve into the names of the characters, you'll find they were chosen with great care. Understanding the meaning of the names will give you insight into each of the characters. JK Rowling drew the names from mythology, folklore, faerie tales, astronomy, Greek, Latin, Gaelic, Norse, even Victorian Flower Language. Some were puns (Hagrid for hag-ridden. In Victorian Flower Language, 'Lily' (Harry's mother) means 'purity/beloved' and 'Petunia' (Harry's aunt) means 'anger/resentment'. The most intense name is Remus Lupin; 'lupin' is Latin for 'wolf' and Remus was the twin brother of Romulus. Romulus and Remus are considered the founders of Rome ('Rome' comes from 'Romulus') and said to have been suckled by a she-wolf. Sirius Black is easy to figure out. 'Sirius' is better known as the 'Dog Star'. And 'Black' means black. Sirius Black is an unregistered animagus who takes the form of a black dog and is fiercely loyal to the Potter family. Check out the other names...

[@VonOutlaw]

It wasn't half-bloods that Voldemort was trying to kill, it was mudbloods Wizards and witches that were born to complete muggle parents. I don't want to spoil it so I'll just say one of Voldemort's Death Eaters was a half blood

[@TheHappyCryers]

OH you’re right, you’re right. That’s my bad! Still a little self hatred going on for him though as he’s half and wants to kill mudbloods, at least to us anyways! Thank you so much for your comment and clearing that up for us. We hope you stick around and join us on our journey through the HP world!!

[@DancingRain_1997]

He himself was half blood

Ypu guys are totally Molly and Arthur, the Weasleys of our world haha, this is my first time coming across your chanel, already LOOOOOVE YOUR ENERGY and passion about each other and the HP movies

[@TheHappyCryers]

That is by far the best compliment we’ve ever gotten! 🙌🏼 Haha. Thank you so much for saying this, it’s made both of our days!! We already love having you join us on our magical journey through HP! We LOVE your answers to our questions!! That’s what we were thinking - they just couldn’t let him be happy. It completely makes sense now that Petunia is so vicious towards Harry and a couple scenes where Vernon looks to Petunia for reassurance. You completely opened our eyes! We are really excited for more Easter eggs and what your thoughts are about the upcoming movies!!😊 - Daniela & Chris

[@ListerWalkthroughs]

Not only that by the way, but I suspect there's 'hatred' for the magic world due to the fact it was the cause of Lily's death, too. It is often mentioned how Harry's eyes are just like his mothers, and I imagine that is a difficult thing to process for Petunia. With that said, this isn't justification for how she (and they) treat Harry. Petunia needed therapy, aha.

[@zuzannabrzeszczak1578]

The Weasley family always brings so much warmth and joy to everyone, and I have to say, I got the same vibe from you. It's always a pleasure to go back to my comfort franchise and be inspired and touched all over again. 🪄💜💜

[@TheHappyCryers]

We couldn’t agree more with you!! Thank you so much for saying that, there’s no bigger compliment 🙌🏼. We’re happy you found us and we have so much more HP reactions coming, so make sure to stick around! 🙂 -Chris

[@Masq1980]

Just happened across as I was looking for HP reactions I hadn't seen yet, you popped up and you guys are great. 5 months too late but I can't wait to experience your roller coaster and also to have an awesome husband that, so far, is doing a lovely job of explaining some things without spoiling anything in the process - so many reactors I've seen are so confused with certain bits or don't realize something happened that was important and then they get a bit lost because a lot of the book explanations and deep dives, do not appear in the movies due to time constraints with book to movie adaptations. There's actually a reason why the Dursely's are so aggressive towards Harry and it gives a better look at the explanation in the book and also why Harry couldn't just leave the Dursely's - the home where his blood dwells - was a sealed bond of blood that Dumbledore placed upon Harry and Petunia so that he would be safe so long as he calls it home and requiring harry to return there each year. The expression on her face when Tom rearranged the letters of his name to read 'I Am Lord Voldemort' lol epic!! The whole conversation involving Voldemort's mother and his father being muggle yet he's the Heir of Slytherin was so amusing too and it is kind of mind boggling if you actually go and trace people's lineage through the Pure Blood family lines, it is really quite interesting! You mentioned it being a hail mary for Harry to stab the book with the fang - I think it might also have been him hearing Tom say 'The damage a silly little book can do in the hands of a silly, little, girl'.

[@gaurabsinha5416]

The things are more darker and you are more engaged from the Prisoner of Azkaban,3rd film of HP. The dark wizarding world are opened for you.This 3rd film was directed by Alfonso Cuaron.

[@TheHappyCryers]

I completely agree with you! Prisoner of Azkaban is definitely the transition between the HP world in the first and second to the more dark and twisted world in the rest of the movies! Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss out on our reaction to the 3rd HP movie, this week!!

RIGHT?! I don’t know what Lucius’ plan was after if that actually went down 😂

[@otakuwolf4ever985]

"Oh dear, we are in trouble." I have been using that, any chance I get ever since I first heard it.

[@TheHappyCryers]

I’m not sure if you had it too but when I was younger, I use to play the ‘Extra Material’ game they had on the chamber of secrets dvd. You would try to make it out of the chamber of secrets but if you failed it was Filch saying, “Oh dear, we are in trouble” lol! Just reminded me when you commented this! One of the most memorable and recited quotes of HP 🙌🏼 - Chris

[@sadiedol4413]

I visited the actual Tom Riddle's grave in Scotland. Rowling lived near the cemetary and got inspiration from some of the names. There is also a tomb with the sir-name McGonagall. On that same trip i got to visit the cafe she often wrote her books at and the real Hogwarts Express that still rides over that same aquaduct bridge. It was amazing. Worth the money 100%

[@TheHappyCryers]

That must have been such a cool experience! Wow! It’s awesome that she found inspiration to create such an incredible series of books from normal things around her! I bet it was worth 100% of the money. Thank you for sharing that with us!! That’s an awesome fact for sure! - Daniela

I truly love your reaction! And I'm super impressed with how good you guys at picking up the small details that alone deserves a subscribe.

In the movie yes, but in the book Papa weasley and Lucius got into a fight gave each other black eyes wrecked half The bookstore and only Hagrid could break them up.

[@TheHappyCryers]

Even though Papa Weasley took the high road in the movie, the way he reacts in the book as you just described seems like a more natural response! Lol. Thank you for sharing this fact! We hope you enjoyed our reaction and continue to watch our HP journey! 🙌🏼 - Chris

[@michellewalters7097]

Merope Gaunt was Tom Riddle's mother. She was a direct descendant of Salazar Sylerian

[@TheHappyCryers]

Thank you very much for your comment! It took a couple movies and a lot of our subscribers comments but we finally figured that out 😂. I wish these movies dived a little deeper into Voldemort!! - Chris

[@thunderslytherclaw]

Dumbledore hired Lockhart to show Harry what could happen if he lets fame go to his head and doesn’t do any kind of work. Also in the Harry Potter world most people who can speak to snakes are descendents of Slytherin.

[@Dropnostop]

Yep that was explained in the books. Starting to think he doesn’t remember any of the books😅

[@imanis.h.8431]

That’s not a good enough excuse honestly 😂 he’s willing to ruin the whole school year for the other students just because he wants to teach one student a lesson? I think a better reason is to expose his lies by letting him work alongside powerful witches and wizards as a faculty member, that will no doubt catch his BS in an instant.

[@paytonleeeeee]

Hagrid is the perfect example of a gentle giant :D

[@TheHappyCryers]

Amazing comment!! Yes, absolutely 🙌🏼. How could anyone NOT love Hagrid? Thank you for your comment and we hope you liked our reaction! - Chris

[@flugsven]

I remember reading for my kids, I censored it a bit. Didn't wanna read Kill, I wanna kill, I wanna tear apart 😱 (or something like that) It's a pretty dark book/movie. And poor Harry had a bad time with Lockheart doing his best to humiliate him, more in the books though. And Riddle is so spooky and eerie. Not to mention Aragog and the Basilisk.

[@TheHappyCryers]

Thank you so much for your comment! Yes, censoring out the kill parts while reading is a very good call!! We’ll be doing the exact same for our son in the future! I completely agree with you, all the people getting petrified, the monsters, and etc., makes the whole universe more darker! Especially more than the first movie! I’m getting more excited to watch the rest and happy that you’ll be joining us!!

[@ptitepeluche05]

@@TheHappyCryers out of curiosity, how old is your son ? Mine is almost 9 months old so it's not for soon, haha, but I just can't wait to introduce him to HP. I so hope that he will love it as much as i do. But i do wonder sometimes at which age it's best to introduce it. Like my nephew is 9 years old. He loves it. But he only saw the first 3 movies and was told he should wait to see the remaining ones. And i have to agree that it gets way too dark for young children. But then they are frustrated because they have to wait to see the rest.

[@Livinglifeforrobin]

I was told the reason why harry continues to go back to there aunt and uncles is because until he’s 18 as long as with muggles as well the evil individuals can’t find him

he was conceived through a spell his mom put on the dad(Voldemort)

It is believed that the ability to talk to snakes comes from creating a Basilisk and is then passed down through the bloodline. With the anagram for Voldemort it looked like your wife was about to go blue screen. Tom Riddle's mother is a descendant of Slytherin.

You two need to read the books. It will explain everything and more. You won't regret it! And it's Ginny Weasly not Jenny. And Harry Potter is at Universal Studios Orlando Florida, and in Hollywood California.. not Disneyland or world.. And People mistake what Dobby was doing in the beginning of the movie. He was always trying to protect Harry, He just didn't go about it the right way. Or the only way he knew how. I love Dobby's character in the books, he's in them more". And I have two dogs named Hermione and Ginny..I have three cats too, but they are named after other magic characters. I just subbed to you both. Thanx for your reaction to Harry, And take care..Xx

[@TheHappyCryers]

Thank you for your comment! I know it’s hard to tell sometimes with my accent but I try my best to say Ginny lol. Yes, we just misspoke, we went to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. As Canadians, anything that’s in Florida, we just call Disney World 😂. Such an amazing experience. We absolutely loved it! For sure, on a first time watch you really don’t know that Dobby is trying to protect Harry though, so it’s very easy to mistake his intentions. Later on, you see just how amazing Dobby is and that his heart was in the right place 😊. We’re so happy that you are joining us on this magical adventure!! We hope you enjoy our reactions and keep sharing your thoughts! - Daniela

[@RottedPopcornandHorror1966]

@@TheHappyCryers Gotcha, And thank you! Plus if you rewatch this movie, listen to what Dobby is saying before he acts, Dobby was hoping that if he got Harry in enough trouble, or not wanted there by the people he thought cared, he would have to stay at his Aunts and Uncles, away from the danger at Hogwarts. It's hard for reaction channels to pick up on some things when your trying to react and discuss, so I understand how most would not get what Dobby was trying to do. Plus the books give a better discription of characters and story. You know how it is when they make a movie. They cut half of the book out of it, or even change what happens. Anyway see you on the next one. And I hope I'm around to see your channel grow! Xx ☺

[@TheFireMonkey]

You misunderstand slightly - it isn't Harry they hate - it's magic they hate. The way they treat Harry is because he has magic and they are trying to put a stop to the magic by oppressing him.

If you look very closely on the wall when Ron and Harry enter into Dumbledore's office at the end, you'll see what pans up onto the wall slightly if you look very closely in the top right-hand corner you will see Gandalf the Great from Lord of the Rings.
