HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2 (2010) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

[@captaindestruction9332]

When Dumbledore said “don’t tell me you’ve grown to care for the boy” I think he was almost questioning the face Snape was trying to present. He always presented a image of someone who just didn’t care and I think that was Dumbledore basically questioning his sincerity.

[@MTech07]

Probably Dumbledore sometimes wondered if Snape played him because he was such a good double agent. He fooled Voldemort. I think is fair. Also why be as rude and judgmental as he always was with Harry.

[@billiebuffalo]

The Snape revelation is why I love Dumbledore’s “Severus, please” before his death. Obviously we assume it’s a plead for mercy, but instead he’s reminding Snape of his difficult responsibility 💔

The death scene with Snape is even harder to watch when you realize that Snape asks to see Harry’s eyes because they look identical to his mom’s. He wanted it to be the last memory he saw before passing. Such a great character that gets better the more you rewatch the series. “Always”

[@Micheal93k]

Probably the reason he's always staring at harry in all the movies too

[@JustIzzan]

Snape May have been brave but that was his only redeemable quality. His love for Lily was obsessive, creepy and toxic. He was emotionally abusive and a bully to kids which were his students. When Neville was faced with a Boggart, which takes the form of your deepest, darkest fear, it took the form of Snape, his teacher. He was a dick to everyone but Slytherins. Hermione's teeth were enlarged and he told her he couldn't tell a difference. He tried to out Lupid as a werewolf. In the first year he made fun of Harry’s intellect and accused him of being fame-hungry, even though Harry was completely new to the wizarding world. In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Snape forces Neville to use his Shrinking Solution on his toad, Trevor, expecting Neville to mess the mixture up and poison his pet. While he begs Voldemort to spare Lily, he is totally fine with James and Harry dying. Being fine with a baby being murdered because you’re upset someone you loved didn’t marry you is inexcusable. Calls Lily a mudblood and hangs out with the worst kind of people in his school years, he literally spent years not getting over Lily and accepting that she had married someone else.

[@MinisculeNeeds]

@@JustIzzan Yeah, I agree with you. Snape is brave and quite loyal to someone he is in debt to, but other than that he's quite a scum.

[@maz3215]

@@JustIzzan Snape genuinely deeply loved Lily which is why his patronus was a doe (same as Lily's). His only happy memories were in regards to Lily. They did become best friends although he fell in love with her & that part was unrequited. The only happiness he ever had was regarding Lily, his dad was a abusive drunk & his mum dour faced & cold. Snape loved Lily since he was 9 years old & I don't believe it was just obsessive. Why do you think Dumbledore was so shocked & had tears in his eyes at seeing Snapes Patronis if it was just obsessive as Dumbledore knew Snape turned against the death eaters years back because of Lily & became a double agent? It's because Dumbledore saw that Snapes love was real & genuine for her & had never diminished. (Snape: "Always!") Also regarding just being obsessive he didn't try & kill James to keep them apart, he didn't interfere when they got together. He kept out of their way. He hated James & Sirius because they bullied him & Harry looked just like James (apart from having Lily's eyes) so Harry reminded Snape of James his bully. When he called Lily a mudblood that one time he had been badly publically humiliated by James & felt further humiliated at the perception that he couldn't fight his own battles when she defended him. Snape tried to apologise to her for it but she broke off their friendship as he had gotten in with a bad crowd who were pureblood supremacists & that he was getting deeper into dark magic. It is awful that initially Snape would have been willing to sacrifice the child in exchange for the mother. The fact was he was desperate & Snape priority was to save Lily above all else even a child, but out of love for the mother he did vow & paid with his own life ultimately in the end to protect her child for the love he had for her & in Lily's honour & so that her sacrifice wasn't in vain. He was deeply flawed & a tragic figure. I also think it possible if he hadn't of been so bullied & shown love at home & genuine kindness when growing up from others (not just Lily alone) things could have been different.

[@carlospacocordova115]

@@JustIzzan Some of that sounds like it may be from the book. But even if all that is true, he still died doing the right thing. That has nothing to do with bravery. It’s much deeper than that. So much so that Harry named his child after him.

The Snape Revelation always reminds me of what an amazing actor Alan Rickman was. He was the only one JKR told the ending to and Rickman played that note under every moment on screen. That’s why it’s so hard to give up on him until Dumbledore and how we’re still upset by his death. I love that tender ‘you have your mother’s eyes’ and that the last thing he sees are Lily’s eyes.

[@Fonny222]

[@KomandarmKnuckles]

@@Fonny222 yes, and honestly, thank god she did. I don't like how the movies either skip over some important stuff, or just blatantly replace them with fillers, instead of using that time for something actually important (e.g The Burrow in HBP, or befriending Kreacher, or running into Dean Thomas, Griphook and Ted Tonks in the woods instead of the creepy snatcher smelling Hermione's perfume. Or instead of Ron playing the radio all of the time, showing us Potterwatch once he returns, which was a fun segment in the book, with Lee Jordan and the twins being a general menace on the radio), but Alan Rickman's performance literally carries these movies, it kinda bothers me they did the Snape scene at the docks, instead of the Shrieking House, they just change the location for no reason, and he brings Ron and Hermione, again for no reason.

I don't think he hated Harry; he was predisposed to see James in him, and he may have resented him because he in a way was responsible for Lily's death. But you are right that he was amazing at his ability to hide what he was doing. They remarked numerous times about Harry having his mother's eyes throughout the books; a beautiful piece of mis/direction by JK Rowling. I am always amazed at how masterful her writing was to drop clues in book one through seven, offhand, unremarkable, woven into the story but when you reach the end and finally understand you see the trail woven into the whole series...

[@melindamercier6811]

The doe patronus is even more significant. If you remember from Prisoner of Azkaban, James’ patronus is a stag. A bit of lore is that patronuses can evolve to complement a loved one. Lily loved James, so her patronus was a doe. Snape loved Lily, and his patronus became a doe as well. “Always”

[@BMHorakhty]

Exactly it's also the case with Ron and Hermione patronuses with Ron having a Jack Russell Terrier who like to chase Otter ( Hermione's patronus) but also with Tonks who got a wolf due to Lupin condition.

[@TheKatangeseDollar]

In the 5th movie there was a scene of Snape's memories where James Potter and Sirius Black tormented him and exposed his underwear in public. In the book, the chapter is called "Snape's Worst Memory." What the movie didn't show was that Lily had intervened and derided James and Sirius for their actions. Snape humiliated, insulted Lily by saying that he didn't need a filthy mud blood to defend him. On face value, you would think that it Snape's worst memory because of James and Sirius' bullying. However, after reading Snape's revelation in the 7th book "The Prince's Tale," the true reason was that the event had marked the end of his friendship with Lily Evans. Later, Snape waited for her by the Gryffindor common room entrance. He was remorseful and apologised profusely for his remarks, but Lily refused to forgive him. She didn't like his attitude (attraction to the dark arts and anti muggle sediments) and his friends who were aspiring death eaters. They were close friends since they were children. Snape introduced Lily to the wizarding world. I remember in the first and fifth books where Petunia mentioned how she had overheard "that boy" telling Lily about dementors and other things in the wizarding world. Initially, I had assumed that she was referring to James. It was actually Snape. He comforted and defended her from her sister Petunia's vitriol. Lily in turn defended him from Gryffindor students who targeted him, particularly James and Sirius. However, their friendship became strained by Snape's interest in the dark arts. Snape loved Lily. He was devastated when she died and never recovered. In fact, his love for Lily was the reason why his Patronus was a doe.

I wonder why Snape made fun of Tonks for her changed patronus. Was it kind of a "thou doth protests too much me thinks" type of situation or just a jab at Lupin?

You can see Snape's reluctance when just before he cast the spell, he looks away. He can't meet Dumbledore's eyes, and Dumbledore has to give him a little push. Also what they may have missed is that when Snape is looking at Dumbledore's hand, he confirms that it will spread, and Dumbledore has at most a year to live. He's dying and it can't be stopped.

[@RustBrand777]

The potion he drank reminded him of his greatest mistakes. He was old, hes like “Severus…you have to do this” Dumbledores actions led to the death of his sister and he feels his rivalry prolonged one of the deadliest wizard wars, the second.

I've always drawn that conclusion from Dumbledore's reaction. The fact that he looks so shocked by the Patronus itself. I may be wrong, but that is how I've always read that. And JKR has made references to Patronus changing due to love or trauma (Tonks is a prime example).

[@Clarestovold]

@@jenniferredmond3592 yes, I understand patronuses can change for that reason, I just thought that since Snape loved Lily prior to learning that spell that it would have just always been a doe.

And once he turned into smoke form, before leaving he went to both of them and took their wands. It's hard to see as it is happening so quickly but it is such a fine detail spoiling that secretly he is on our side all along

[@warnertom3393]

Even if you did pick up that Snape killed the death eaters by deflecting Minervas spells, and notice he took their wands, it could still be explained away as Snape was just in self preservation mode and didn't care where he deflected the spells and he took the wands so his "enemies" couldn't have them.

The amount of planning Albus did was crazy. He knew Draco's soul would be crippled if he murdered him. Having Severus do it would not only spare Malfoy but also would prevent Riddle from truly possessing the elder wand. He put the resurrection stone in the snitch for Harry because he knew Harry would figure out the words "I open at the close" meaning he figured out he was a horcrux and must die. The deluminator for Ron, and the book for Hermione. And his portrait was in the headmaster's office, where he would give counsel to Severus. The whole thing was brilliantly planned.

Want to know the best part guys? In the first movie it hints at Snape loving Harry’s mom with the first question Snape asks Harry. “What do you get when you combine powdered root of asphodel with an infusion of wormwood”. Asphodel is a type of lily that means ‘my regrets follow you to the grave’ and wormwood symbolizes absence. So the very first thing Snape tells Harry in code is “I greatly regret Lily’s death”

Voldemort was defeated twice because of a mother love. Something he was never capable of understanding. She just wanted to rush to Draco’s place.

Love the fact that the same as Snape, Alan Rickman (the actor who portrayed Snape) is the only one who knew the meaning behind the word "Always". J.K. Rowling told him about this when he was about to quit the franchise and nobody knew of the ending yet since there were only 4 books released during that time.

Harry was able to come back because when Voldemort got his body back he used Harry’s blood, which had Lily’s protection in it. Because of this, Lily’s protection lived in Voldemort too. So Harry tied Voldemort to life because he was a horcrux and Voldemort tied Harry to life by keeping Lily’s protection alive in himself even after Harry’s death. Dumbledore suspected this was the case.

[@Fool3SufferingFools]

[@CreepyOni]

Voldemort was a kind of "positive Horcruxe" for Harry, and that's beautiful.

[@MrSale1983]

Yes, but not quite right. By using Harry's blood, Voldemort did allow him to come back to life. But that has nothing to do with the protection given to him by his mother's willful sacrifice. This comes into play when Harry also sacrifices himself for his friends willingly without a fight. In this way, he provided them with the same protection. That's why after his sacrifice no one died in the further course of the fight and Voldemort's magic began to weaken. Voldemort made the same mistake twice by ignoring the power of love and sacrifice. He himself was not capable of love because he was born not of love, but of a bond created by the use of a love potion. The Resurrection Stone does not raise the dead completely, we saw its effect in the forest, that's why one of the three brothers killed himself, because he realized that he could never really get his beloved back.

@@MrSale1983 sorry, but that first part is simply not true, in the books Dumbledore explains after Harry's "death" that by bringing in Harry's blood into himself, he effectively kept Lily's sacrifice alive within himself, so yes, it does have to do with the sacrifice.

Dumbledore wanted Harry to have the Hallows so he could be the "master of death", but not so he could master over it, but so he could "welcome death as an old friend", like the third brother in the story with the invisibility cloak, who was Harry's ancestor. It was essential, because it meant Harry was committing an actual self-sacrifice, and he knew that power lived in Harry's blood due to Lilly's sacrifice.

The detail of Neville killing the last horcrux is incredible. Remember the prophecy about a boy born at the end of July? Well Neville’s and Harry’s parents were both in the Order of the Pheonix and were in major battles… and both of them were born at the end of July. So really Voldemort brought this whole thing on himself by assuming that it would be the Potter boy. Imagine how different the story would have been if it was Neville instead of Harry. But it was really fitting that both boys born at the end of July were part of putting an end to Voldemort.

[@Dirdav09]

Please react to the 20 year reunion, it’s so worth it! Snape is such a great character, I loved his whole arc throughout the series. Some things from the books that you might find interesting: In the prophecy about the chosen one, it referenced a boy born at the end of July. In the books, 2 boys were contenders: Harry and Neville. Voldemort assumed the prophecy was about Harry bc he was a halfblood like himself. Kinda points to Neville having a huge capacity to be a hero as well, which he is! The elder wand is thought to promote violence - you don’t necessarily have to kill the last owner, you just have to “win the wand” but most people try to kill the last owner to gain its allegiance. Harry made the right choice destroying it so no one else came after him! But also, in the book he fixes his old phoenix wand before breaking it.

[@brianfoss571]

The movies do make Snape a bit more sympathetic because they don't show him bullying Neville constantly like in the books. Also, the flashback in Order of the Phoenix where James and Sirius bully Snape is cut down. In the book, Lily comes to his defense and chews James out, but Snape shouts "I don't need help from *filthy mudbloods* like her!" which kills their friendship for good. Snape's written as a creepy kid obsessed with Dark magic, who doesn't have many friends, whose parents fight constantly (his Muggle dad hates magic). Jumping forward to the pensieve scene in Deathly Hallows, the reason we see Trelawney is that Snape (as a Death Eater) was spying on Dumbledore during Trelawney's job interview at the Hogs Head. In the book, Dumbledore wasn't that impressed with her interview, but then she fell into a trance and gave the prophecy about Voldemort and The Chosen One. Snape overheard the first part of the prophecy but was thrown out before he heard the rest. Incidentally, this is why Dumbledore immediately hires her and prevents Umbridge from banishing Trelawney from Hogwarts in Order of The Phoenix. Dumbledore knows that Trelawney has no memory of the prophecy and would be in *grave danger* from Death Eaters trying to torture it out of her. But after hearing part of the prophecy, Snape had told Voldemort that a boy born at the end of July to parents who narrowly escaped him three times would grow up to defeat him. But Snape didn't hear the parts about Voldemort marking the boy as his equal, him having powers Voldemort doesn't, or that neither can live while the other survives. The prophecy could have referred to Neville (born July 30) or Harry (born July 31), and Voldemort chose the half-blood (like himself), deciding to hunt down the Potters. That's when Snape came to Dumbledore and begged him to protect Lily. The fact that Neville could have been chosen is never stated in the movies. But it's cleverly hinted at in the Order of the Phoenix adaptation when Neville's the first one to spot the prophecy. It could have been about him, but Harry's name was added after Voldemort tried to kill him. And Snape hates/bullies Neville because if Voldemort had attacked the Longbottoms, Lily might still be alive. Hermione always helped Neville in Potions in the books, and Snape hates seeing a muggle-born witch as talented as Lily give Neville a leg up. Snape feels his life will never be worth losing Lily's.

[@creepypapermultipack]

I’m so glad someone pointed this out! It makes Neville’s defeat of Nagini all the more satisfying knowing he could have been the chosen one.

Two of my favorite characters in literature - Samwise Gamgee and Severus Snape. I remember finishing the last book just before Deathly Hallows part 1 came out. I kept saying how much I loved Snape, but my husband & daughter (who hadn't read the books) thought I was completely "off my rocker" as the saying goes. They knew that I knew something, but I didn't spoil it. I got a big kick out of watching them watch this movie & realizing that Snape was the hero all along. We thought the plot twist couldn't be any better than the one in Prisoner of Azkaban, with the reveal of Wormtail's treachery & Sirius being framed for the Potter's demise. That was incredible, but the ultimate plot twist with Snape (& Harry being a horcrux) was just mind blowing! JK Rowling has said that people should admire him for his courage, but he is a very complex & not a very likeable character with a lot of "darkness" in him. Don't forget he was once a sworn follower of Voldemort, by joining the Deatheaters. He turned on Voldy when he was just 20 yrs old when he overheard the prophesy that Prof. Trelawny spoke of to Dumbledore (Snape was eavesdropping). He went to Voldemort with that information. Voldy decided it must be Harry of whom the prophesy referred to & planned to kill him. That's when Snape turned double agent & began working for Dumbledore. Keep in mind that he was already a skilled enough Occlumens to fool Lord Voldemort himself when he turned spy against him. If you remember in Half Blood Prince when Narcissa & Bellatrix went to Snape's house to ask for help with Draco, Snape said the line "Your sister doubt's me. Understandable, over the years, I've played my part well. So well that I've deceived one of the greatest wizards of all time". In the scene, Bellatrix believes that he is talking about Dumbledore. When in fact, he could very well be referring to Voldemort as well.

Another level to Snape's motivations, is that he was spying for Voldemort, and heard part of the Prophecy. He was interrupted without hearing all of it. The part that he didn't hear, was that it actually applied to two boys, Harry and Neville. When he reported back to Voldemort, he basically signed Lily's death warrant.

It was part of Dumbledore's masterplan that Draco be the one to disarm him, not Snape. He took care to take out him wand but not brandish it, even telling Draco he would make it 'easy' for him, knowing Draco would jump the gun and disarm him. Voldemort was under the mistaken opinion that winning a wand required killing its master, so looked to Snape as the one who 'won' the Elder Wand, and Snape encouraged that view.

It may be a bit cliché, but this was a good reminder that no matter how you feel about someone, you don't know their story or what they've been through. I think Snape is one of the most tragic characters in the series. One of the saddest things, at least to me, is that he died knowing that people hated him, even though he's been working behind the scenes the whole time.

About the patronus of Snape and Lily. In the books they explain to you that basically your patronus is the “manifestation” of your soul in the form of an animal. It can be anything, but if something emotionally deep happens to you, it's form can change. Originally Snape´s patronus was another animal (I don´t remember), and when Lily died, his patronus took the form of hers (a doe). That's why Dumbledore after seeing the doe as his patronus (knowing that Lily´s was the same) asks him "after all this time?", as in you still have this patronus after all the time that has passed. And snape answers "always", because he will always love Lily. ❤‍🩹 ps. sorry for my english 😬

Oh and when Snape didn't fight McGonagall, what he did do was deflect the spells she was throwing at him in order to take out the Carrow's who were standing behind him. Genius move, portraying the coward while helping protect them all.

Neville was a great hero, even greater because no one expected anything from him. He just did it. I was cheering for Neville through the last two books.

[@michellecasey5752]

20+ years ago, I intended to read these to my daughter out loud. I could hardly say all the names of the characters, so I gave up. I saw the first movie and tried again, now understanding the words. But, by then, my daughter was 12, so she didn’t need me to read to her. Since then, I have read each book twice, cover to cover. It is rare that the movies, while not 100% true to the books, are just as good, if not better than the books.

[@CrazyMazapan]

@@rocketeer3667 They are great, except they made a lot of stupid changes to the original. Dudley's first word is "Shan't" not "Won't", for example.

@@CrazyMazapan Well, you have to look at it as any other translation. And I was pissed off when, translation version being done, even so, they'd STILL say 'jumper' instead of sweater. It's for people who speak American English. It's not Jim Dale's fault. He just read what was actually in the books in the US. The only major fault with his rendering that I came across (and there WAS one) is that he switched his voice for the Slytherin Headmaster with another character later on in the narrations. Not intentionally, I'm sure. But it markededly affected those scenes. Surprised neither he nor anyone else ever noticed it before it was released. I hope he redoes those scenes.

[@judaychop]

@@guitarsbunch347 yea I haven’t read the books in a while so i don’t remember if they ever satisfyingly explained how Harry lived, i don’t think Voldemort made himself a Horcrux for Harry, although the creation of the horcruxes has always been a huge plot hole in my opinion, because they would need to actively be made using some sort of magic, otherwise Voldemort would have hundreds of horcruxes from all the people hes killed, so it never really made sense that Harry was a horcux. I think i just remembered the explanation for Harrys survival, when Dumbledore first hears about Voldy using Harry blood to resurrect himself in the book Dumbledore had a quick look of Triumph, the reason Harry had to keep going back to the Dursleys was because the protection Lily provided with her sacrifice, Harry would need to live with blood relatives(Petunia)for the protection to stay active, to call a place home with family, i think Voldy using the blood made it so that protection was present any time Voldy was present, so when Voldy kills “Harry” he only killed the horcrux? Im not sure but i think it’s something to do with the blood.

Great reaction, Jay and Amber. It's a amazing series of films, Snape was deep undercover, remember Snape protected Harry during the Quidditch match and when he told Harry to remain silent just before he had to kill Dumbledore so that the others wouldn't know that Harry was there, his love was true, 'Always'. Longbottom was so important as only a true Gryffindor could draw that Gryffindor sword from the hat and slay Nagini, Voldemort's snake who had the Voldemort's Horcrux which is a piece of his soul, even if Voldemort's body had died his soul would live on unless all of the Horcruxes were destroyed.

Fun fact the kid that played Albus Severus Potter was also the infant Harry Potter in the Sorcerer’s Stone

[@canine_collins]

Also snape was so hard on him because he looked like James, a constant reminder of all the torment he went through as a kid but he also cared for him because his eyes were those of his mother lily.

[@monkfishy6348]

Snape is one of the best written characters. His story is so tragic. In the book (and films) Snape was a Death Eater, but when he learned that Voldermort was going to target Harry due to the prophecy and by extension his mother, Lilly, he went to the only other wizard more powerful than himself to ask for help protecting her. He begged Dumbledore to save Lilly and in exchange he would become a double agent and work against Voldermort. So Dumbledore hid and protected the Potter family as best he could, but Wormtail (the rat man) betrayed the Potters (he was one of James' best friends from school). After Voldermort killed Lilly, Snape showed Dumbledore his Patronus charm, which was a Doe just like Lilly's. Thereby proving his undying love for her and his commitment to stopping Voldermort.

[@themetalpig7613]

But Snape did get a chance to tell Harry how much he cared, by saying "you have your mothers eyes", a line Harry heard so much from all his friends that it got to the point he would say it before they could. The only reason Harry didn't see it coming from Snape is because it usually came after "you look so much like your father" whom Snape despised. Absolutely brilliant storytelling by JKR.

[@philipem1000]

Really that one detail illustrates the incredible way she wove this tale together, showing clues that we all missed through all seven books. When I finished the last book I had to go back and reread the first just to marvel at all the threads she left for us, oblivious to their meanings...

[@xmoonfairyx]

Some context from the books. Snape was a death eater before lily died. He changed allegiance after he begged Voldemort to spare Lilys life and Voldemort refused. He would’ve preferred it if Voldemort had killed Neville instead (as the prophecy could have applied to both Harry and Neville). So his reason of turning “ good” were somewhat selfish and mostly to honor lily. He hated harry because harry looked so much like his father. In the books Dumbledore tells Snape that “harry is much more like his mother than his father and if Snape paid attention he would see that”. Also, this is the reason Snape has always been especially cruel to Neville, he believes he should have been the one who died and not lily. He’s a flawed character, complicated for sure. But i wouldn’t say he had the biggest heart. I LOVED going on this journey again with you guys and I’m so sad it’s over 😢

[@Lions1986]

Neville wouldnt have died. He would have lived just like Harry. What you mean to say is Snape wishes it was Nevilles parents that died and not Harrys parents or more accurately his Mother

[@MsAppassionata]

Wow. You know it never occurred to me that that was the reason why Snape hated Neville so much! Thanks for the insight. 👍🏾

[@user-eu1rh2nm8j]

But the movie obviously chose a different route on Snape. He was meant to come off as good and big hearted. Harry would not have named his child after him if he was not supposed to be the good guy...

[@RLucas3000]

Voldemort did plan to spare Lily as Snape had asked. He offered Lily the option to step away from the child and save her life. He never would have done even that without Snape’s request.

[@patriotsfan122480]

@@user-eu1rh2nm8jI wouldn’t say it chose a different path. There was a ton of information from the books that needed to be cut down to a 2.5 hour film. It’s definitely important from a narrative perspective on Snape’s character, as well as Dumbledore’s character in how cold it comes off in the film vs the books, but overall it’s supposed to be Harry’s story.

43:40 My favourite thing about this particular battle was that Bellatrix's corset seems to be shrinking to the point of breaking her ribs. I choose to see it as this: Bellatrix was well versed at fighting and could counter just about any curse, hex, or jinx thrown at her, so Molly Weasley, den mother and homemaker, hit her with a *laundry* spell, crushing and stunning her before hitting her with that final curse. It went different in the book, but I prefer this moment: it dovetails perfectly with Molly's skillset and expertise

Book 7 in particular, gives so much background about Dumbledore, his family, and the things he faced in life that made him who he was. They are just a joy for kids and adults.

"I open at the close" also goes along with the fact that the Battle of Hogwarts was around 1997/1998 and those are the same years that the first book came out (UK 1997 and USA 1998). The story of Harry Potter starts the same year in real life that the story ends in the books/movies.

I have immensely enjoyed watching the both of you watch these Harry Potter movies from the beginning. You have had the perfect reactions and responses throughout each movie, and it made me feel like I was experiencing them all again for the first time, and for that I thank you guys so much! My favorite part of your reactions has been watching you go through Snape's character arc and the crazy journey it takes you on. Even in the books it's still one of the biggest if not the biggest plot turn/twist in the whole series. Hermione is the actual GOAT and the MVP of the whole series and my favorite character. None of what they went through could have been done without her. Most underrated character is Neville Longbottom! The movies don't go into enough detail about him, but the prophecy that Voldemort wants in the 5th movie/book, is done by Professor Trelawney told to Dumbledore at her interview to be the Divination teacher at Hogwarts. Dumbledore didn't think she was a true seer and wasn't going to hire her and was about to leave when she went into her trance and makes this super important prophecy: "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches. And the Dark Lord shall mark him as his equal but he shall have power the Dark Lord knows not. For neither can live while the other survives." Harry and Neville actually have the same birthday, and both had parents who were in the original Order of the Pheonix fighting the Dark Lord. What's crazy is that Voldemort randomly chose Harry once they were both born, but the whole entire story could have been different had he chose Neville instead and went to kill his parents or his Grandmother instead, and maybe one of their undying love could have protected Neville against Voldemort's killing curse and he would have been the boy who lived instead. The books are so worth reading if you want more in depth information into this incredible story! So glad you guys enjoyed it! Keep doing what you're doing it's awesome!

I couldn't find a comment about it so I'll write it myself. The book had a clarification "one who was born at the end of July will kill the dark lord." The fact is that Harry's birthday is July 31st, and Neville's birthday is July 30th. Voldemort couldn't be sure which one of them should kill him, so he went to kill Harry himself and sent death eaters after Neville. So the "chosen one" could be Harry or Neville
