Fun Fact: Harry doesn't cast a single spell in the whole first movie.

[@DragoonZell]

another fun fact all the candles you see hanging in the first scene when the enter hogwarts for the first time are *all* *REAL* in fact they had a difficult time keeping them suspended because the flames would burn the wire and the candles would drop. every other movie they would be CG'd in.

[@Makkaru112]

John Cleese the legend himself was the one who played the first ghost you seen, Sir Nicholas/Nearly Headless Nick.. this series of films had a huge portion of england's greatest acting talent from across the generations all in a single place... all becoming great friends.

[@Makkaru112]

The small amount of new students arriving with Harry this year was due to the last wizarding war from about two or 3 decades ago... normally it'd be a larger number with a larger and longer celebration...

[@Makkaru112]

There were many schools like this especially in England. with a points system & everything. it encouraged and inspired teamwork and self reflection for anything you do may reflect badly on everyone else which inspires self reflection and awareness of others around you and how you impact the lives around you. ♥

It's interesting to note that Nicholas Flamel is the only real life, historical person mentioned in the Harry Potter stories. His house still stands in Paris and is now a restaurant. I had lunch there several years ago. With the popularity of the Potter stories, they put together a Harry Potter menu for children. Many of the seemingly trivial events in the early movies will go on to play important plot points in the later films.

[@cassieo]

Wow, that’s so cool. When I was in Paris in 2004, it was just a closed up historical address. That makes me so happy that they are using it for community purpose.

[@jackstrawful]

I always loved that aspect and wish Rowling had continued including real historical figures. Imagine other famous occultists or alchemists, like Pythagoras, John Dee or Blavatsky being revealed as secret witches and wizards with some part to play in the backstory of the modern wizarding world. Maybe Benjamin Franklin was secretly a founding father of MACUSA and attended Beauxbatons as a boy, which is why he gets along so well with the French. Pythagoras actually did found a cult which believed in a kind of spiritual numerology, which I could imagine Hermione's arithmancy teacher claiming was the foundation of her field.

Harry KNOWS what it is like to go without. Knows it in his bones, in a way that even the cash-strapped Weasley family can’t. He also knows that this boy just offered to split his own very meager food, and he knows that he likes the Weasley family, after the mother was so nice to him. And you can’t convince me that Molly Weasley didn’t see a lost looking child who was obviously going to the train all alone, and intentionally say things like “9 3/4” and “muggles” as she was close enough for him to hear.

The Potter Family have a long history of inventing spells, charms, magical objects and medical potions that people use on a regular basis. Harry being the only surviving member of his family inherited everything. He is the owner of all of those patents. That’s why he’s super rich. The money magically appears in his vault.

Subtle little thing that's easily missed, in the great hall when Neville says that "he can't remember what he's forgotten" he is the only one not wearing his cloak In the next scene during the flying lesson he has his cloak so at some point in-between he realised and went to go get it It was this very cloak that broke his fall from the castle roof so that rememberall saved his life

You're going to LOVE LOVE LOVE the cinematography in 3. the scenes, the direction, the creatures, the CGI, it all stands up to today and is known to be one of the most beautiful movies of it's time. Visually spectacular and years ahead of it's time.

[@Showtime_Reezy]

Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite because it deal with time travel. I agree, the cinematography is great.

[@BalthamErathos]

I've always felt the opposite from most about this--that Columbus doesn't get enough credit for the fantastic job he does bringing the books off the page and to life on the screen, and that with the change at the helm for 3, the choices made (such as the move to "street" clothes etc) lessen the movie. 2nd book was I thought the weakest, but may be one of the best of the movies. Loved the 3rd book, but one of my least favorite of the movies.

[@amberhoward7807]

This is definitely a series you grow to appreciate the more you watch especially if you didn't grow up reading the books and see the movies coming out. It is such an amazing story! From beginning to end!

Tom Felton is an amazing actor. If you meet him and realize what a nice guy he really is, you'll appreciate how much talent it takes to turn him into a jerk like Malfoy.

[@BroadwayBound009]

Tom Felton (Draco) and Harry Melling (Dudley) really where the best child actors of the bunch and don’t get enough credit in my opinion. I’m convinced that’s why they where cast as the villains because it’s much easier to direct a child to play a likable character that’s fairly similar to themselves but it’s harder to have them play the total opposite and a villain. They had to use the most talented child actors in the harder roles. The other actors caught up by movie 3/4 but those two where the stand outs from purely an acting perspective when they started.

[@The_SARC_Knight]

It's been said many times, but this journey is absolutely worth it, and gets better, darker and more mature as the movies progress.

[@mutantdrumsticks]

In the US translation of the movie/book the title was changed to "Sorcerer's Stone" from "Philosopher's Stone". They changed it because "the publisher was worried US readers would neither know or care what a philosopher is." Now there's quite a few stories about the philosopher's stone (i.e. the elixer of life), and it was believed to have been created by Nicolas Flamel. Nicolas Flamel was an actual alchemist, and there's a lot of interesting stories about him. One of my favorites is how after his and his wife's recorded deaths, there were reported sightings of both of them all across Europe, furthering the myth that he created the alchemical secret to immortality. And like some others have pointed out, you can actually visit his home in Paris, as its been turned into a restaurant.

[@rcovers8542]

Fun fact: When Harry's scar hurt while Snape was staring at him, Quirrel had the back of his head turned towards Harry.

[@candicemonique5927]

Lily’s love and protection for Harry extended to her sister Petunia, her family and their house. Even though they broke their promise to Dumbledore to love him a treat him well, the Dursley’s house was the safest place to hide him from Voldemort’s followers.

[@arthoughts9676]

I think the second movie is better than the first, so we can just say that each one is better than the last (arguably).

[@bramvermaat1453]

[@Grimmdus]

If you are gonna be super analytical about the series, which is totally fine, I suggest reading the books after the fact so as to not ruin the movies but also to fill in the substantial gaps of lore the movies were unable to include. The snake stuff is better explained later but sufficient to say that that encounter is in Harry's perspective and would look entirely different to anyone else. Also muggles don't see a lot of things that is in plain sight because of charms to make them not notice it. And when people do see stuff it can cause the authorities to erase that memory to protect the secrecy of the wizarding world. There is an innate protection Magic tends to give or be subconsciously used by wizards when it comes to physical injury. Falling 20 feet wouldn't neccesarily be fatal and in the case of Neville Longbottom not his first time falling as he fell out of a two story window when he was younger and bounced if i recall correctly.

[@cassieo]

Yeah, this is how he runs his reactions. He talks through EVERYTHING that occurs to him. It’s a refreshing approach when so many other reactors censure their thoughts.

[@matthewconner7800]

I 100% agree that he should read them, and filling in the gaps after the movies is an excellent reason to do it right after.

Love hearing your thoughts on this, you have very interesting takes and an analytical mind for sure. About Harry "buying" Ron as a friend tho. From my point of view this is Harrys first time having anything close to a friend. This is also his first time having freedom and money to buy something he wants for himself. His first instinct is to share that with someone. Idk I just never saw that as buying Ron's friendship.

[@williamozier918]

Rowling did master plot twists throughout this whole series. I think one of the things that makes these movies still strong 20 years later, is that as you learn each twist you can go back and watch all the previous movies and see whole new levels of story telling in them. This time through I will just say I heard the conversation between Harry and the snake at the zoo in a whole new light.

[@amberhoward7807]

The thing is that back when Voldemort was in power he put a spell on his name so he could like hear what people were talking about or he could find their location or something.... It isn't easy to just keep coming up with spells, so he obviously had it work for his name, so people had to use the alias name to not be giving information to him..

[@ccsbal]

No spoilers, just backstory: Harry had to be left with family because of protection of family blood, that will last until he’s 17 (when witches and wizards come of age.) Platform 9 3/4 exists so the magical world can stay hidden from Muggles. The cloak belonged to Harry’s dad, who had given it to Dumbledore, who returned it to Harry. Quidditch is NOT a children’s game. Kids play it, kinda like Soccer is over there. There is a World Cup, which you will see in 4. The caretaker, Flinch, is a squib: a non-magical child of magical parents: he has no magical powers, but knows the world. Please stay with the movies! It’s totally worth it!

I gained so much more respect for these movies and how they were made after going there.

The broomstick training was filmed at Alnwick Castle in Northumberland which was also used in Chamber of Secrets and the courtyard scenes were filmed both there and at the Cloisters in Durham Cathedral. The train station, although it was supposed to be King's Cross was actually Newcastle Station. The Dungeons and Dragons film that was just out at Easter was filmed at Alnwick Castle too 🙂

[@captbunnykiller1.0]

I always had this feeling that Harry's journey throughout the school year was orchestrated by Dumbledore, especially the dangerous situations, to lure Voldemort out of hiding. For instance, Dumbledore was certainly watching the entire time, when they were in the Forbidden Forest, as it is an unusual punishment that would need to be sanctioned by the headmaster. Firenze was not there by coincidence. Neither was the mirror in the random hallway or the fact that Dumbledore sneaked up on him like that. There are quite a few things that are poorly explained in the movies, so I hope you find the time to read the books some day.

8:18 I was literally crying at how you were describing the lighting and warmth of the colors while Harry looks absolutely goofed. Lmao Edit: So I think the main reason Harry bought the candy and snacks was for two reasons. First being that he is new to the wizard world and had a curiosity for their snacks. Hence why he was asking Ron. Second he saw that Ron's family did not have expendable income and likely wanted to show Ron that he is generous. I don't think he bought the snacks to win Ron over. I think it was more of a generous gesture to make their trip more pleasant.

Comments related to timecode 12:40 - The alias Voldemort "he who shall not be named" because, and I'm assuming here, it has to do with "name" magic. Voldemort has been gone for many years and only "comes back" once Harry and Hagrid say his name in this scene. This comes back around in the later movies as a subtle note...

[@genostellar]

46:40 I was wondering what that sound was, then on a hunch I backed up the video. I do agree with you on two points. Why would they enter a random room after the stairs change and why send two kids off on their own with a cowardly dog in the forbidden forest? The movie really doesn't really give good enough reasons. Things are given explanations in the books, but the movies don't normally have time for things like that. More or less, they went into that room because they had to get back to their dorm before curfew, and the stairs changed, so they were hoping that this passage lead to the same place ultimately because they didn't have time to wait for the stairs to decide to change again. As for the forbidden forest, they really didn't know that something as dangerous as Voldimort was out there, but even still, bad move sending two kids off on their own. A third complaint I have which you didn't seem to bring up in this cut version of your reaction is that the puzzles to get to the stone at the end... well, first of all they shouldn't have been puzzles. Why give someone any chance at all? Second, they were way too simple to solve. Doesn't seem like they were trying to protect it very well. There is a puzzle cut out of the movie which Hermione solves that actually is properly complicated and difficult to solve, and would have made a good puzzle to keep people from the stone, but it's not in the movie.

[@slcs369]

[@Makkaru112]

The use of different types of wood in wand-making is based on real-world Celtic/ Irish culture In their traditional knowledge & mythologies; different types of trees were associated with different months of the year, and it was believed that the properties of the tree could influence a person's personality and destiny. For example, those born in May were associated with the hawthorn tree, which was said to represent love and protection. Those born in November were associated with the rowan tree, which was said to have protective properties against evil spirits. This tradition of associating trees with different personality traits and characteristics is reflected in the Harry Potter series through the use of different types of wood in wand-making. Each type of wood has its own unique properties and characteristics that are said to influence the personality and abilities of the wizard who uses it.

23:23 There's DEFINITELY favouritism at play lol. His parents were heroes and friends of those teachers too

[@RaquellyReacts]

Oh these movies are cinematic master pieces you will love them as they go on. Very excited for this!

[@mariodrgtz8951]

Please continue I want to see all your reacts and see how involved you end up getting. It’s been said before but the first 2 are very much to immerse you into the world and then they start to get deeper into the plot of the story.

I do love you your way of taking a story or concept and dissecting it. You do well with interpreting a storyline. But you have to kind of look at these films with a childlike Wonder as well. You can't look at it in a scientific way where that can't happen or shouldn't happen. It's completely fantasy and that's what makes these films so amazing to let your imagination roam free. I think you will enjoy them if you just give some wiggle room to allow the fantasy world of Harry Potter unfold.

Voldemort’s name has a trace on it. When he was at his most powerful, if you say his name, he’ll find you and do whatever he wants with you.

It's not done by Disney Disney has no affiliation with Harry Potter it's Universal and Warner Brothers, so it's on Max formerly known as HBO Max

36:30 a lot of the filming was done at Oxford university. I'm privileged enough to have had a look around and experience the place

Absolutely love you reacting to this!! This series really delves into life and dealing with things that everyone can relate to in some way or another. I never really consider these kids movies and as the series goes on you'll see what i mean. Can't wait to see the next ones. Most of your questions will be answered. Aloha NuiLoa 🤙
