[@THEREALBRUTHABROWN]

Michael u r saying too much homie. Please just let her watch. No hinting at characters or agendas. watching someone react to these films who has not read the books is part of what makes these reactions fun. I would suggest if your going to continue with these films either partner Kristen with someone else who has not seen the films, or by herself, or with someone not tingling with excitement because they know what comes up next. Its messin with the vibe.

[@doc0815martens]

Exactly! That was already very annoying in the first movie, but this time it's even more unnerving.

[@ulricaandrae4381]

I think Michael needs to be a little more passsive and let Kristen experience the movies witthout him explaining everything. She’ll know eventually and it kind of ruin it when he influence her mindset of the characters in advance. They can discuss the book vs film after, that could be interesting.

[@newworldastrology1102]

Fully agree. Learn to button it so she can enjoy it in tbe moment.

[@shirleydurr411]

And one thing to explain is that in the book there were fisticuffs in the bookstore between Lucius and Mr. Weasley.

[@lealarsen2017]

i agree he did spoil on certain moments. and it was really sad. but i love both of your reactions so it is not negative i will still watch but i do hope for a little less spoiled. but i truly get why you did it i would also be so hard for me not to spoil

[@bannonstanks]

Yes. I just started this and was not thrilled in the first one.

[@LunaticKD1991]

Exactly. This dude was so annoying throughout the entire reaction. 🤦 I'd rather that Kristen had reacted to this movie on her own.

[@thedarkknight2221]

In a behind the scenes interview Jason Issacs did for this movie, during the scene when Lucius says “Let’s hope Harry Potter is always here to save the day” and Harry says “Don’t worry, I will be” Jason was so impressed with Daniels acting he said and I quote “That’s not a kid, that’s a 13 year old actor”. And he was right. 20 years later and Daniel Radcliffe is still one of the best actors of our generation.

[@brendafrazier811]

And that part of the scene was improvised by both of them. As was the kicking of Dobby by Lucius. The crew thought he had tripped and stopped but he said no, I kicked Dobby. They left it in.

[@drlee2]

I couldn't believe the absolute upswing in Radcliffe's acting from the 1st to the 2nd film! Radcliffe's acting in Chamber of Secrets isn't just great for a child actor, it's actually great for an actor of ANY age group. He totally carried this film with his acting ability, imo.

[@bannonstanks]

I think that was also the first scene that Jason filmed for the movie.

[@tobimobiv1]

It's funny. Because to me DR got exponentially worse at acting as the movies progress. Edit, not including this one. In Prisoner he isn't to bad, but from there on out.

[@thedarkknight2221]

@ you need to rewatch those movies with eyes unclouded by hate because the scene in Order Of The Phoenix where he is talking with Sirius about being scared that he’s becoming bad is genuinely and objectively amazing acting.

[@juliant]

Michael you gotta relax bro, you be giving things away just before or as they're happening.

[@Sherman1fan]

Hope your and my comments make a dent, I had to stop watching after the pixies. Great he's helping "steer" her correctly but don't spoon-feed her before/during. Otherwise might as well just spoil all the plot points (Michael), and on one will enjoy.

[@jordy9096]

His knowledge isn’t even that good, dunno why he’s so quick to say things

[@CourtCarter83]

I noticed that immediately in the first one. I'm seeing it as a common theme in these comments. I will be watching this afternoon after work. I'm not sure if they've already filmed the others in the series yet. I know some reactors film a lot at once and then just release later. I hope the comments are seen before the next films. If it's this bad now, I fear he will completely wreck all of the twists and turns to come in 3-8. And if that's the case, what is really the point of watching at all?

[@raulmalfavon3347]

​@Sherman1fan she has to be spoon fed. She doesn't get much

[@garathomas]

Kristen asks too much and she always wants to know things earlier, Michael shows he knows but it's been years for him so many things we recently found out he has no idea so I don't see him giving things away but instead focus her to enjoy the movie

[@JordiVanderwaal]

1:14:50 You are correct. Tom Riddle had different names in every language the books were translated. In my language he was called Tod (Morvosc) Rodlel. xD

[@Tchika]

In my language it's Tom Vorlost Riddle ^^

[@ercsey-ravaszferenc6747]

There are two things that you must know: 1. Rowling has been asked several times about certain parent's attitudes. She said that adults tend to underestimate children's ability to make the difference between a story and reality. She said that she never hear of a child who got into the occult because of a story about magic. And magic is really one of the things which are omnipresent in the world of children's tales, it has always been. 2. Part of being magical is that you sometimes just know things. Like the way Harry just knew that he has to stab the book. If I'm not mistaken the way the book puts it is that Harry suddenly knew what he had to do, it was like he always meant to do it. At another place the phrase used is: "the answer rose to his lips effortlessly". The movies make you believe that magic is all about powers, a wand and the right spell. But the books make it quite clear that the character, the intention and the mental focus of the witch or wizard matters a lot. In many ways magic is like physics. There are laws, rules, possibilities and impossibilities and everything has consequences. If you want to understand the deeper meanings behind this story, the moral essence, this is one of the very important aspects that you need to be aware of. Otherwise what you're left with is just the adventure and excitement part of it and that's not why this saga is so important.

[@brendafrazier811]

@@ercsey-ravaszferenc6747 I loved fantasy books as a child and I started reading at a very young age. I loved A Wrinkle in Time and the Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle books and any others like that I could find.

Nice accents! ( Please don't spoil things for Kristen! ex: Whomping Willow before it's mentioned; "pixies!" just BEFORE they are mentioned- it's like revealing a trick just while a magician performs it, otherwise she's reacting to you/what you said rather than the movie.)

[@williambryan3346]

Mentioning the Whomping Willow wasn’t spoiling anything. It would have been spoiled if it had been mentioned before it beat the snot out of the Weasley’s car.

[@DocuzanQuitomos]

While he maybe could avoid some reactions for what he knows it's coming (I get him, sometimes it's just so difficult to bite our tongues when rewatching a film)... those two bits are not really spoilers for one reason: they have no impact in the overall progress of the story; and while they introduce some magical bits of world building, they don't reveal any major plot point of what's coming and he has pretty much held back from giving just too much. There is room to improve, but not to the point of "don't say ever the name of any magical thing!" (that level of "not spoiling" is very difficult, if not unrealistic).

[@brandibastian4193]

[@philrufkahr1515]

Michael should not be allowed to react to these with Kristen until he can control his totally random, yet surprisingly accurate, "predictions" about the story. The joy of watching someone react to these movies is seeing the realization of the reactor to the plot as it all comes together. He is sucking that joy out of the experience for Kristen, and us as well.

[@Sherman1fan]

Well said, better than my comment.

[@DavGonn]

To be fair, he did say he read the book. @7:00 So they aren't "predictions". If you don't like that fact, you don't have to watch the video. Although I don't really believe him never seeing all the films. Like, cmon who reads those giant books then doesn't watch the films.

Please don’t spoil it!!! If you remember from the books just bite your tongue and let Kristen and the rest of us enjoy a first watch reaction. If you feel like it might be a spoiler, don’t say it! If you’re unsure, don’t say it! I’d rather you just say “oh I know or remember from the books” and THATS IT! Just watch and see if you’re right AFTER not before especially because there are so many movies to get through and you read the books so long ago it can be soo easy to say a spoiler for something that isn’t even happening in the current film. Don’t steal the magic of a big reveal and unfolding plot lines PLEASEEE! That’s the joy of these reactions. I hope you remember this for the next movies because it will be really upsetting to see those spoiled because you can’t control yourself.

[@WoodlandAsh]

I always like to imagine that Fawkes swooping back in and pecking / gauging out the basilisks eyes was him taking personal affront to being ridiculed and mockingly referred to as a “songbird” and then flying out past riddle being like ‘tell me again who’s a songbird, bitch!’

[@One_foot_in_the_Grave]

Harry's mother may have been muggle born but both Harry's parents were magical making him only magical born. (That's why no one calls him mudblood and why he's not in any danger from the basilisk)

[@DeathbyFrostbite]

Harry is only half so he’s technically a half blood

[@viesome]

harry is half. same like voldemort and snape.

[@DavGonn]

I don't know much about the lore. But I'm a little confused about your comment. If someone is muggle born like Harry's mother. (I'm assuming his father isn't a muggle since you didn't mention it) Can you then become "magical" by learning it?

[@viesome]

@@DavGonnyeah harry is half. Potter is old wizard family, same like weasley or malfoy. How muggle-born wizard can learn magic? The explanation is their ancestor. One of their ancestor was squib. Squib is born from at least one of magical parent, but squib can't use magic, example is Mr. Filch. Then squib who married muggle will have descendants who can use magic many years later, so yeah muggle-born wizard is from them

[@AshrafAnam]

Yeah Harry is pureblood. You don't have to have everyone in your ancestry to be magical in order to be considered a pure blood. Only the parent's blood is enough.

[@juliant]

Kristen 😂😂 thats the first time ive heard anyone suggest that someone should have said the same thing as Harry to find him when he said Diagon alley wrong. 🤔😂 They really just said, oh well, he'll turn up.

[@AshrafAnam]

Yeah Mr Weasley be like "Let him acquaint himself with the dark wizards. Sooner or later he's gonna have to fight them."

[@DocuzanQuitomos]

To be fair, they had no idea "Diagonally" sent him right in the middle of Knocturn Alley. Considering the general "optimistic" take on the wizarding world there is in the first two books, it makes sense they didn't care much (evil is brewing, but in general no wizard is watching their backs or looking for dangers around every corner): in that "all is well" spirit, it was safe to assume, wherever Potter would pop up, people would try more to help him, rather than kill him. And it's safe to assume Floo accidents happen quite often and they don't end in murder (Harry is not the first newbie or nervous person to use it and end in the wrong place) XD.

[@juliant]

@DocuzanQuitomos seems like a lot of hoping to me. If I were responsible for Harry, I would have followed him. He had no additional floo powder, is a child, and only discovered he was a magician a year ago. Plus, it is known that Harry is in danger in the magical world, thats the whole reason he lives with the Dursleys. Or am I wrong?

[@Dobby_Dobson]

I think it was mostly just impossible for them to know where he ended up.. Just that he likely turned up in a nearby fireplace. If I believe correctly in the books he mispronounces and ends up getting out one or two fireplaces to soon or late. I don't think they could just replicate what he said and get out at the same place. They found him on the main street where they were probably checking all fireplaces around, they might've not got to knockturn alley yet? Though it is fair to say that they maybe should've split up and focus some of them on checking knockturn alley 😅

[@lyds6382]

That wasn’t what he said in the books, it’s one of the changes that doesn’t make sense. He inhaled a ton of ash and choked on it, which makes sense it would’ve come out sounding closer to Knockturn Alley. There was no reason for this weird pronunciation in the movie 😂.

[@lou57354]

Love you guys but Michael pleeeease stop giving spoilers, just let Kristen enjoy the movie the way it is meant to unfold naturally. You might think you're not giving too much away but you really are and I worry about this with the later films especially.

[@lzz9376]

On the subject of Tom Marvolo Riddle's anagram... Hi, I'm Swedish :) and sometimes we like to be complicated. So, the English verb "Be" turns into "Är" in Swedish which is a complicated thing. While there are men's names with the letter Ä in it, they are few and very much Nordic names and nothing you would find anywhere near an old English family. Just, no. Especially considering it is almost impossible for a native English speaker to pronounce said letter properly. This makes the whole "I AM" = "JAG ÄR" thing a little difficult. So some smart individual (I don't know who) decided that Latin was the way to go for us Swedes and our funky language. The English "I AM" = Latin "EGO SUM". This led to Tom Marvolo Riddle being called Tom Gus Mervolo Dolder in Sweden. Which is also a little punny because the Swedish word "Dold" means "hidden, concealed, secret". Thus: "Tom Marvolo Riddle = I Am Lord Voldemort" became "Tom Gus Mervolo Dolder = Ego Sum Lord Voldemort" :)

Hey, can you maybe stop telling her things before they happen? Like when the phoenix poked the snake's eyes out, you suggested that before it happened. When Harry got the snake's tooth in his arm, you suggested that it's venomous before she had a chance to see what it did to him. This takes away from the first time watcher's experience. Given that you already know what happens, it's not as exciting.

Stopped watching after the pixies, sound like I saved myself an hour of cringe. Kristen deserves to see it as it was (or as close to it as it was ) in the theater, like everyone else.

The first 2 are the best ones. Chris Columbus should've made the rest of the films as well.

Myriam Margolyes is hilarious. You should watch a compilation of her appearances on the Graham Norton show. Even if I disagree with what she said about Harry Potter (though I think she was probably talking about those people that make Harry Potter or the Wizarding world their entire personality?? Like some people do with Star Wars, or their favourite Football club, or their favourite singer. There's "being a fan of something", and then there's an unhealthy "addiction"; even if I can rewatch the HP movies every few years, and I'll watch the show when it comes out on HBO, I also have other hobbies), she's iconic and soooo funny.

[@agresticumbra]

Miriam Margolyes is an extremely accomplished actor, with an extensive resume. She's politically active, supports various charities, is bawdy, opinionated, and highly entertaining. The thing is, she can be quite brusk. I wouldn't take her comments about HP fans too personally. Btw, there is a documentary series on the Only Human youtube channel that follows Miriam around, about getting older, dying, etc. I think it's the most polite I've ever seen her. Overall, I enjoy her lack of self-censorship.

I love that you get to experience this for the first time. I remember reading the books, and when the movies started coming out, I was hooked. Oh, to be young and experience these stories for the first time again.

[@ChrissonatorOFL]

Jason Isaacs who plays Lucius plays Captain Lorca in Star Trek Discovery and he also played the lead scientist in the movie Armageddon.

[@EricGregory-b7j]

The actor who plays Mr Malfoy was in the movie the Patriot. With Mel Gibson he was the villain

[@christianlamar_]

“Finite incantartum” translates to “finish incantation” Hermione uses this to end the enchantment on the bludger that was chasing Harry. Not necessarily an explosion spell, but it will carry whatever effect necessary to halt the spell that was cast.

[@jamila_freya]

Love the reaction, hope both of you complete all 8 films

[@alijaffery7735]

12:15 , in the books Arthur and Lucius actually get into a fistfight.

[@riqueoak7256]

The reference to The Hand of Vecna immediately tickled my D&D bone, I see you're a man of culture as well.

[@pulithevar8135]

All 8 films summarized : Harry , you fucked everything up. But it was awesome 40 points to Gryffindor!

[@AshrafAnam]

"1000 points to Gryffindor for Harry Potter existing!" said Dumbledore calmly with loud echoes in the Great Hall.

[@jm52995]

Well technically it wasnt his fault most of the time 😂

[@benmason9755]

Bear in mind, this came out the same year as Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. So you had Weta Digital producing Gollum, and Industrial Light & Magic producing Dobby, both at the same time.

These are currently the best reactions on this channel.

Our Children were 10 and 12 while the wife and I were 41 when the first movie came out. My wife had read the books to our children, they were home schooled and Mom took them to the Library once a week, so they got exposed to Harry Potter when they were about 7 and 9. They Loved Harry Potter and wanted us to take them the 120 miles to a movie theater (we lived in a very remote area) to watch the movies, and I fell in Love with Harry Potter. On a flip side I had read the Lord of the Rings back in the 80's, so when Fellowship of the Ring came out, I took them to see it and they fell in love with may favorite series.

[@Bornagain7202]

What many don't realize either is, for the generation that grew up along with Harry potter from the first premiering, this series was an escape

[@viesome]

fun fact : arthur weasley actually puched lucius at bookstore in book. it was a chaotic fight, hagrid needed to separate them. when i watched it for the first time, i was waiting for that scene but it never happened. i was so disappointed. there are lots of amazing scene that different from novel. I still can't forgive them for ruining Ron & Ginny's character. They are cool character in book, especially ginny. She is my fav actually.

[@thedarkknight2221]

As the son of a single mom I have to say that if I could pick a fictional character to be my dad it would’ve been Hagrid. He is love incarnate.

[@jkhoover]

I mean, I'm choosing Uncle Phil. He's a great father figure and rich.

[@Sobsilus]

Hagrid‘s also pretty daft and super racist. While Uncle Phil actively fights racism. So, good pick with Unlce Phil.

[@Tchika]

@@Sobsilus Hagrid is racist?? When?

[@Sobsilus]

@ Oh, only like… ALL THE TIME. When he brings Harry to Gringots for the first time, he badmouths goblins. When Hermione starts S.P.E.W. he is the one who tells her that house elves want to be enslaved. And he actually thinks less of muggles because they are non-magical. He doesn‘t use muggle as a description, but as an insult. Among his classics are „They like it that way“ or „Best to leave them alone“ or „Nasty little creatures they are“. Of course I mean wizard-racist, not muggle-racist. Because everyone seems to be welcomed in the wizarding world, as long as they‘re human. And magical, of course, because fuck the squibbs, although they could attend most of the classes at Hogwarts anyway. Rowling made the wizarding community oppress all non-humans and non-magic-humans. Goblins are not allowed to have wands, centaurs have to live in set reservates, etc. And Hagrid is all there for it, besides facing constant discrimination for being a half-giant and for being bad at magic.

[@davidwilburn4734]

I'm 55 and still love Harry Potter. In Ironton Ohio every year around Nov there is a Wizard Fest based on the wizarding world of Harry Potter. They have charms classes, a sorting ceremony with a talking hat, and a Wizards ball. They have butter bear both alcoholic and non alcoholic that tastes like butterscotch. Someone is usually there with a owl and some other creatures from the state parks acting as a game keeper. They also have a petting zoo, a news paper printed in the style of Harry Potter newspapers. They have vendors of wands, some other magical items, and some memorabilia. The vendor area is kind of like a tent based Diagon alley. They have photo items like the cart half thru the wall at 9 3/4 and Newt Scamander's case on a table that you can crawl under and look like your coming out of his suite case.

[@anaafrida634]

33:50 Um...did you forget Hermione literally setting fire to Snape in the first movie?! She's always been a bit unhinged, she just came out of her shell as she grew up.

[@Hapsard]

I will say that Miriam Margolyes (Professor Sprout) is often quite 'salty' in interviews ... and it wouldn't surprise me if she was ragging on people being obsessed with Harry Potter just for shock value ... The whole film series has some of the cream of British film actors play the adult characters .... which is just a treat. I wish they'd kept the three leads more nuanced, and not given Hermione all the smart lines, and Ron all the funny lines, and made Harry being all 'the chosen one' ... There are definitely things Hermione knows in the films (that had been Ron's lines) that she shouldn't because she didn't grow up in a magical household ... like Ron knowing the meaning of mudblood in the book whereas Hermione had never heard it before ... It just doesn't make sense, but I'm just more a fan of the books and suggest at the end of this journey Kristen should definitely read them. I look forward to your reactions to the next movie ... 😊

[@Okini_Hasa]

What you discussed at the end makes total sense - the more iconic a movie is the harder it becomes for actors to break out of their most famous roles. It was the same with Romy Schneider who played Sissi in three Sissi-movies. Everybody just saw her as the young beautiful empress while she also played other roles, more serious and impressive ones.

[@loyalhufflepuff8869]

Stop giving spoilers, Michael!! Love the reactions 🫶👍🏽

[@HK7Roiz]

11:18 oh well thats only Jason Isaacs you know so probably in little things like The Patriot, Armageddon, Event Horizon, Fury, Black Hawk Down, Soldier, The Green Zone, Mass, Star Trek Discovery, Peter Pan.. etc... hes around.

[@chynne33]

That basilisk head swing at the end was amazing when I saw this in the theater. Also that quidditch chase under the stands felt like being on a roller coaster

[@Wickerrman]

Miriam Margolyes is absolutely crazy in a good way, I wouldn't take her too seriously. She's hilarious but she's not your typical role model by any means, just a lot of fun. I think Michael is probably pretty spot on in how she has a lot more than just HP in her mind.

[@Heida77]

I usually find her hilarious and I know she jokes a LOT (and not everyone understands her humour or British humour in general for that matter) but I agree with Kristen about her comments. They didn't sit right with me. It didn't feel like a joke and if she was tired of the HP related questions she would just say that, she's very blunt as you know 😂 I don't understand why adults can't enjoy "kids films/books". A lot of adults enjoy Disney animated films that are aimed at kids as well (myself included), but I don't see a problem with that either. Let people enjoy what they enjoy!

[@ninipookie]

She’s also an old gint

[@Wickerrman]

@@ninipookie What does that even mean?

[@thekaizobro9971]

Finally, this took what felt like forever. I’m super excited to continue.

[@michaelchavez2206]

Kristen is going to love Dobby after this

[@hlfbldprincess]

Uploaded 4Days ago! No wonder there was no more. I kept looking for Azkaban and couldn't find it. I love both your reactions. It's always interesting to see the side by side comparison of someone who's read the book to someone who hasn't.

[@hilzabub]

I'm loving these reactions, and can't wait for more. The movies just keep getting better.

[@SkidmoreTx]

“She’s scary” girl, they toner her down in the films, book Hermonie was unhinged 😂

[@lars2894]

1:03:53 "I love the twins" SAME Christine, same!! 😉😜

[@joshj1818]

The best part of this movie and Ron's character is that Rupert Grint is really afraid of spiders, so he didn't have to act too much during the spider scenes.

[@sagelovescoffee]

So excited for this post!!!! 😊

[@sersastark]

i like the fact that Salazar was able to corrupt a lot of items around hogwarts so far...except for the sword.

[@freemansteinslab]

One of the best movies in the series is up next! Cant wait!

[@judemunetakep1057]

I can’t believe they are watching the extended version

[@Cae.74]

was wondering where all these extra scenes came from

[@sv564708]

Michael I’ma need you to keep your book knowledge to yourself at least until the end of the movie or discussion after, because bruh 🙄😑✋🏽

[@cynthiawalker2275]

Yes!!!!!!

[@PhilBagels]

Seriously! Just back-to-back spoilers! Very annoying. You could make a drinking game out of Michael's spoilers.

[@erwandarussalam2515]

Exactly this, just stfu. And I’m okay if she’s watching alone (even better)

[@klass_1221]

Well, Michael is a Ravenclaw. "Know-it-alls". 😉 📙 👓 📙

[@JoyjitChowdhury]

1:02:20 that line. You will know why.🥺

[@conrade0404]

Ive watched this one the most out of all them. Love this.

[@kitzzybitz6058]

Jason Isaacs, (Malfoy's dad) was in Black Hawk down, The Patriot, Peter Pan (Capt Hook) and StarTrek Discovery, he is bloody good at evil.

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

He was also really good in the first Dragonheart movie, too

[@ellehcimbelle]

and voiced Gortash in Baldur's Gate 3 and Zhao in Avatar: The Last Airbender! he's had so many iconic villan roles.

[@ZebraLens]

1:07:28 Miriam Margolyes _(Prof. Sprout)_ was part of arguably one of THE LARGEST film franchises in history! Most actors would do anything to have their name associated with this franchise. *She should be appreciative that she was chosen to be apart of film history.* Not to mention any residual checks she may/may not continue to get from the movies.

[@yongeomma]

She said in that interview that it was wonderful and she's grateful for being a part of it. She just said that adults obsessing over harry potter are too much and they need to move on from a kid's film that happened 25 years ago. Knowing her sharp language she was being particularly nice.

[@sonialopez4039]

FYI - Fawkes (Dumbledore's Phoenix) gave the phoenix feather that was in Voldemort and Harry's wands. Also the actress that played moaning Myrtle was in her 30s when they started filming the movies.

[@jordy9096]

Duuude! Control yourself

[@jerdtgg]

I aged with Harry Potter. I was going into 7th grade when these books started coming out. Having to wait for the book releases someone could almost feel like a class mate

[@randycrawford1132]

This next one is my favourite movie of this franchise.

[@CowsRdumb]

Finally. 😩😩 it was taking forever
