*I'm falling apart..* HARRY POTTER and the DEATHLY HALLOWS part 1 REACTION! | First Time Watching |

[@josefinelagerstrom2643]

What I hate is that they never explained that Harry inherited the Black Family house after Sirius died. That's the reason why Kreacher is forced to oblige when Harry demands him to find Mundungus. Harry is his master.

[@silverkyre]

There is so much more to Kreachers story too.

[@MrMatsudi]

Yeah, I think that's a major oversight in the films, not mentioning that Harry owns the house now and that Kreacher is now loyal to him. Even if he's grumpy about it, well, until Harry helps him complete Regulus' mission at which point he flips and becomes happily loyal.

I think there's also an element of the fact that Voldy feels like a scary, intimidating villain in a wizarding world film, but Umbridge feels more real. Like...people like her exist in the real world, and she's just disgusting, she's a power-hungry control freak willing to do anything and disregard anyone in her way.

I might be one of the few but I never thought about the dance between Harry and Hermione as romantic. I always seen it as Harry trying to cheer up Hermione,having a moment of "happiness".

[@leonardofeccini]

THIS!! Every reactor seems to go into the romantic route. They forget that at this point Hermione and Harry are like siblings who love and care for each other.

[@bidishah]

As a book reader, of course this is how I see the scene too. But the filmmakers anf actors have apparently gone on record saying the scene was made to be more open-ended. That's what ends up confusing most reactors.

[@AnjeannetteMarie-Swifie4Ever]

Me neither, maybe I’m biased from the books (I know they never did this dance in the books) that there was never anything romantic between Harry & Hermione. I totally just get a best friend trying to cheer his friend up vibe cuz “THESE ARE DARK TIMES”

[@davidfairweather3301]

@@bidishahyeh the actors and directors wanted it to be something that hinted at the possibility of Hermione and Harry doing something in that moment. Think Emma Watson said something like “there’s always that awkward moment in a friendship where something could very easily happen, and that’s that moment for them” - she does also say that it’s a light hearted moment in a time that they’re depressed and scared to death so it does work well for the movie, but in terms of what’s established in the books about Hermione and Harry, they would never even come close to wanting to kiss each other or be romantic. Harry said in the book he always saw Hermione as a sister.

[@MichaelBond]

Harry and Hermione see themselves as basically brother and sister. That’s explained in the books, but not in the movies.

[@joshuacoldwater]

Harry never in any of the books had one romantic thought towards Hermione, that scene was interesting but it is many fan’s favorite scene- even though it was not in the book. We needed to smile at that point in the film, with everything that was coming.

[@silverkyre]

The scene of them dancing I'd nice but it's shot to look like a romantic scene and that'd what I dislike.

[@joshuacoldwater]

@@silverkyreWhat i see is harry taking the horcrux off of Hermione and setting it aside, before accepting that responsibility- they dance. Not romantically at all, they laugh, they are best friends. Then the dance ends and she goes back to her sadness and he goes to the horcrux. - I suppose it is subjective, how you view that scene. Maybe it is just because I had read the books that i knew there was zero chance Harry was making any type of romantic move. 😂

[@silverkyre]

@joshuacoldwater Tell that to the director who literally shot the scene with a romantic intention, saying the ONLY reason Harry and Hermione didn't hook up was because they wouldn't fo that to Ron. Probably the same reason they took out the. "She's like my sister." Comment Harry tells to Ron.

[@silverkyre]

@joshuacoldwater I read the book too by the way but it's still obvious to me how it was shot.

[@azzula729]

​@@silverkyrewhere did you read this? Im inclined to think you have been misled on that. Here's a quote from the director. director David Yates said: "Harry and Hermione's relationship is about true friendship. We wanted to do a scene without words that kind of caught that relationship. There's just something really tender and moving about seeing them trying to alievate the pain by dancing."

[@KazyReed]

I love that you have compassion for Draco. Yes, he's a huge jerk, but you can clearly see he's terrified and so are his parents.

[@robbob5302]

[@zoew_]

if you didnt have compassion for draco id be concerned

[@Miyawakiss]

Yes. Draco is an unfortunate child who is a product of his upbringing and environment but he's not inherently evil.

[@Lui262s]

What isn’t explained in the movies is that after Voldemort took over the ministry of magic they put a spell on the name of Voldemort. Meaning everyone who’s saying his name can be immediately found and apparated to. That’s how they got found in London in the cafe, by the snatchers in the woods and why they got so quick to Lunas home

[@llanitedave]

There was a scene filmed that explained that fact, but apparently it was one of the scenes cut prior to release.

[@KaizerHiwatari]

Yes! And I believe it's the same thing Voldy did last time he was in power, which is why wizards fear to speak his name and instead refer to him by various euphemisms. Saying his name was literally like turning on location sharing, lol.

Dobby's death was like a cruel blow for us all just because of how pure he was. He really just wanted to protect Harry Potter, the very person that gave him what he wanted the most: freedom. The movies don't show it, but Dobby helped Harry in more ways that is known. For example... Dobby came to work at Hogwarts at the fourth book and was the only elf cleaning the Gryffindor Tower, since the other elfs stopped doing it when Hermione started to fight for the rights of house-elfs and started leaving clothes for them around the common room. And he was the one to tell Harry about the Room of Requirement so they could use it for the DA meetings. And he also helped Harry spying on Draco during the sixth book. At least, he died happy and free on Harry's arms... doing what he always wanted to do: save Harry.

[@seantlewis376]

Yes, Dobby was terribly underused in the movies. In the books, his death was all the more impactful because we had come to know the character in every book since Chamber of Secrets. With the movies, I was disappointed by his absence, even more so than the complete lack of Peeves.

[@briannasmith7746]

I think he was also the one to give Harry gillyweed in goblet of fire, although I do like the swap to Neville

[@otter011]

The whole side plot about elves drives me mad. It’s quite realistic that wizards (in general) enslaved them because they (the elves) are so unbelievably powerful. It’s terrible but it (unfortunately!) fits real humans, and it fits into the wizarding world. But why would Hogwarts do so? Why would they do so after Hermione’s work? Why would Harry keep an elf after inheriting a building? Why would they let Dobby run around in horrible clothes after they saved him?

[@blakeverdon4492]

​@@otter011 In regards to Harry keeping Kreacher, not only was he a connection to Sirius (as terrible a connection he might be), but also I'd argue it would probably be pretty dangerous to set that _particular_ elf free... considering he damn near tried to attack Hermione for simply speaking to him, at least in the movie. While these aren't exactly _the best_ reasons, I think they would at least have been considered if Harry ever thought about freeing Kreacher. And who knows, he might've done so after the events of The Deathly Hallows. Idk if he was ever mentioned in the sequel play. 🤷‍♂️

[@labrynna87]

@@otter011"Why would they let Dobby run around in horrible clothes after they saved him?" I'm not 100% sure (it's been a while since I last read the books) but I think that's a movie thing. As far as I remember Dobby started to wear clothes of his liking after he was freed from the Malfoy family. At least I remember him wearing several hats at once. (So, yeah, maybe still horrible for anyone with a taste for fashion but not for Dobby.)

[@abzcurrent5423]

Dobby's death: we were warned, in CHAMBER at the end, Harry says to Dobby: "One thing, promise me you'll never try to "save" my life again" as a joke, which is was then, but.....😢

[@growupanushka]

Love your observations about why the trio were having conflicts and breakdowns. A detail from the book that would put more perspective on the radio thing - the channel Ron was listening to would announce the names of the people death eaters killed that week or month.Since Ron's family was one of their biggest targets, he was constantly anxious and on edge, waiting for his worst fear to come true and hear a family member's name. But Harry hated hearing those names because he somewhere blamed himself for all of it. That's why it puts him on edge when Ron listens to the radio but it's a comfort thing for Ron to sleep better knowing that his family is still alive.

[@Sailorgirl1207]

When they filmed Hermione's torture scene, it was actually longer but it was too disturbing to watch because both Emma and Helena had meticulously planned it right down to Bellatrix's handwriting. Emma researched accounts from real victims of torture and even the crew and other cast members were disturbed because of it.

Outside of the actual deaths that is probably the worst thing to happen in the series.

[@laiaiao]

Hi, I already commented this on another reactor's channel, but Harry's cloak IS a deathly hallow. That's because he's a descendant of the brother that asked Death for the cloak (you could see he was buried near Harry's parents - his surname was Peverell). There are normal invisibility cloaks, but they wear off eventually and stop working. And also, no, the philosopher's stone isn't the resurrection stone. The former makes you live longer - the latter brings back people from the dead.

[@biggestgreyfanever]

In the books it is explained well why Ron lost it. Ron has always had a stable home and family with his mom’s brilliant cooking. During these camping scenes, food was an issue (you can’t magically make food appear. You can increase quantities but you can’t make something new appear). Harry was often underfed at the Dursleys and basically their abuse prepared him for the tough camping life. For Ron it was too much. Hermoine being Hermoine would have been mentally prepared.

[@nachtsunterwegs]

While I agree that this was very well explained in the book, I was always disappointed about all the other books before where Harry didn't seem to value food too much, skipping meals and sometimes declining food offerings. This is not behavior of someone who has frequently been denied food in childhood to a point where he was malnourished.

[@MicukoFelton]

And even when you increase quantities of food the food quality goes down. And Ron was already injured and without food you can't heal fast.

[@Sageddegas]

@@nachtsunterwegsbig disagree. It absolutely is consistent behavior when it becomes the norm

[@nachtsunterwegs]

@@Sageddegas have you heard about the Minnesota starvation experiment? People under those circumstances will be preoccupied with food, even when the situation gets better. The same observation was made about the people who were rescued from the concentration camps after WW2.

I really like how they explored the relationships between the trio in this. I think you’re right- I bet their relationship conundrum in this film plays on some real life elements of close friendships like theirs. And I’m sure when you’re thrust into a situation like they are in, it’s hard to not cling so much to each other to make it through. That shared experience of everything they have been through I feel would make them so vulnerable with each other in different ways. Also, I love how Ron holds Hermione in such high reverence…it’s so sweet lol

[@lechat8533]

There has NEVER been anything but deep friendship between Harry and Hermione. Hermione has been crying for days. She had been in a fetal position before Harry tried to cheer her up with the song and the dance. Harry disliked dancing, that`s why Hermione was appreciating his gesture of empathy and friendship even more. They both were comforting each other, nothing less and nothing more.

[@marcellakryka]

DH1 is actually my favorite film in the series. I think the character dissection, the rawness, and the feeling of helplessness is so intriguing. I know most readers hated this section of the book as well, but I loved it. The Silver Doe chapter and destruction of the locket just stuck with me. It was eerie and beautiful and vulnerable.

[@spaceshiplewis]

Daniel, Rupert and Emma had a lot of chemistry. Nothing sexual according to them, because they basically grew up together as friend. Even the Hermione and Ron relationship was hard for Emma and Rupert because they saw each other as siblings rather than lovers. Honestly Dan and Emma probably did have more chemistry to each other than Emma and Rupert. And that coupled with Ron's lines being co-opted by Hermione didn't do Ron any favors. Bonnie who plays Ginny also saw Dan as a big brother. The entire cast basically grew up on the set of Hogwarts almost as if it were a school.

[@bessonovafan6454]

Your last point is made especially true by the fact that they did their homework on set; some of the schoolwork scenes in the first movies showed them doing actual homework

This movie wasn't "magical" in the sense we've grown accustomed to, so it stands out from the rest in my opinion. This is danger, this is grief, sadness, and hopelessness, this is setting up the stakes for the finale. I think its beautiful.

In the dancing scene I just saw a bro cheering up his sis. Probably because I've read the books and know Harry missed Ginny so much, and was scared she would meet someone while he was away for God knows how long... And he and Hermione hardly talked at all. Also Hermione cried herself to sleep. So hence not a single thought about romantic vibes in my mind 😛

Add a really talanted quidditch player, which she still is in the movie, and we get that even oblivious Harry get weird hormonel signals he hardly can identify at first. If the filmmakers made Ron less fun, brave and significant, and they did, they couldn't even bother trying with her. They turned a really popular girl into a slightly awkward one.

The illuminator is the one Dumbledore used at the start of the first movie. 17:00 those are from the twin's prankster shop. Ron was wearing that locket for too long. And he was already in a lot of physical pain (they didn't eat much which caused him to not heal) making him paranoid. Also, in the book it's Harry who says "Well my parents are dead!" idk why they changed it like this to Ron saying it. Maybe because they didn't want the main hero to look bad. That dancing scene between Harry and Hermione didn't happen in the book, it's a bit weird.

[@needyverse]

5:40 I have to tell you, the moment Hedwig dies in the books... just like that... She has so much more character in the books than in the movies too, and in that moment as I read it, I put the book down and sobbed. This was a character by Harry’s side from the start of the book series, even before Ron and Hermione, so for years Hedwig had always been there with Harry, even in quiet moments alone. I was the same age as Harry through the series. I got the book as soon as it went on sale, in line and everything, so at that moment I also felt like so many other people must be experiencing the same feeling around the world... It was the first time I truly felt the weight of a childhood being ripped away. That nothing lasts forever, and if someone as pure and innocent as Hedwig could die so horribly... it was difficult to pick up the book and keep reading, with that moment at the very beginning.

A bleak, alone, and very intense situation.A lot of people complain because it lacks "action" (which I don't understand since there are a bunch of intense action scenes in this) and that it is slow but it is really necessary to show how stuck they are, trying to figure it out everything basically by themselves. Also, their friendship is so so beautiful. They grew up together and had to deal with so much together and they always have each others backs.

I'm glad to see that there are fans of the movies who have not read the books because while I was watching the movies for the first time, I saw all the informational omissions that you had to read the books to get. I believe that the movies were made for the book fans who already had that information, but when someone who hasn't read the books still enjoys the main plot, that's a good thing.

[@Evfollower]

The last time we saw Dobby, Harry told him never to try and save his life again. 😭😭 I loved this so much! Prepare yourself and bring tissues for part two!

[@eliseheidbuchel3407]

love your reactions so much you, you connect to the characters and story so beautifully and it's lovely to see. Keep being you. you should read the books after, you seem like the right person for it to appreciate them.

[@Benefacez]

Seeing such a young man, wellspoken, smart and compassionate reactor is a much needed breath of fresh air on KZbin.😉Appreciate your reactions.

[@TopNotchWatcher87]

You have quickly become one of my favorite Reactors, bc of how insightful and thoughtful, and how attentive to details you are, it’s really great to see, keep up the great work!! Can’t wait for more ATLA too, that’s my favorite ever, and please do Korra, ignore the haters!!!

[@nebulousreactions]

Your giggles give me such joy :D Another great video. Really looking forward to the finale! It's been quite a journey.

[@ashleyowen7664]

29:22 - i believe in the books (LONG time since i read them), that is was Snape that hid the sword there, then he lead Harry to it 39:20 - (Harry in Chamber of Secrets to Dobby): "never try to save my life again"

[@needyverse]

9:03 The Deluminator is used by Dumbledore in the first scene of the first movie :)

[@virgosxgroove]

HE IS CUTE ASF and again!! Im really happy you make them everyday i will have EXTRA because of you a great Week!!

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Since you asked, Oscar, the *Resurrection* *Stone* and the *Philosopher's* *Stone* are two distinct items. 🪨🪨 And, please, never feel self-conscious about expressing emotions (even through tears). It's your superpower. 🌷

[@morganepg]

My favorite part is Harry and Hermione dancing. It's showing that are truly friends and there is nothing there. They truly love each other as friends and both are only children . So, there is an understanding that they both have. The pause and look to me, I read as...thank you...but I'm still sad.

[@fantasyland3646]

1:03 when Hermione said coming mum you hear her voice cracked

[@JasminIsabellSchröder]

All the love for you Oscar! ♥️ You definitely gained a new subscriber. :) You seem like such an emphatic soul. I can't wait to see your reaction to the big finale! Also suggesting the 20 year anniversary special. The interview scene of Robbie Coltrane always makes me cry.

[@JasminIsabellSchröder]

Oh and another thing: The Intro Song of HP and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 is just beautiful and ALWAYS gives me goosebumps ☺️

[@nF_Rhythm]

You are the only reactor I've EVER seen that just completely 100% NAILED the interpretation of Harry and Hermione dancing together. Just because there is a romantic undertone doesn't mean that they're feeling romantic toward each other. It's more of a 'platonic best friend love'. Really looking forward to the finale! 😁

[@supertrejomxtx]

I find your insight very interesting, you are a very smart kid, you see things most people don't, new sub, greetings from Mexico.

[@UnholyKat]

There was nothing in the dancing other than Harry trying to make Hermione smile. Strictly platonic

[@thecocoacouch]

The actors actually said they played romantic subtext.

[@nobleconsejera5278]

​@@thecocoacouch I think that the director wanted people to feel free to interpretate it as they please

[@theresab2914]

I only just came across your videos the other day, and I have binged all of your Harry Potter reaction videos, and it has just been so heartwarming to watch you experience this whole franchise, and it’s such a warm and comforting environment!

[@thecocoacouch]

Thankyou ☺️ glad they’re enjoyable!

[@triadmad]

I have to repeat the comment I made in your reaction to The Half Blood Prince. Every time I see the scene on the beach with Dobby, the waterworks let loose. Making matters worse, I have this empathy thing, so I'm feeling your shock and pain too.

[@gunnfredriksen]

42:45 I couldn't agree more! I actually think this is my second favourite HP movie, after Order of the Phoenix, both because of the psychological aspects, which I find similar to number 5 with feeling isolated and the blessings and challenges of relationships/friendships, and the fact that it is more grounded/human.

[@Ksenia1988-e7z]

Just watching your reaction of the fifth film, but wanted to give a like and watch it later. :D

[@thecocoacouch]

Haha cheers!

[@aguilarjr]

You’re the first reactor who is going to give us all the HP reaction videos in less than a month. Thank you!!!!

[@pinkandorangeskies]

I've seen this movie a thousand time and I will cry a thousand times. dobby is just so pure. I love him so much. I don't know if someone commented this before, but in the books, Dobby is in the goblet of fire too :((( so we knew more about dobby in the books than the movies

[@ptitepeluche05]

Dobby is in every book except the first and the third.

[@lisapercywolf3392]

Buckle up sir! It's always great to see reactors come to the end of the story. I can't wait for you to see it!

[@callherfoofoo]

You are making week babe❤

[@zedwpd]

"that seems like a gift from Galadriel to Frodo" yes but that is the only time she borrowed anything from Tolkien. ;)

[@neuralwarp]

One does not simply walk into the Ministry of Magic.

[@AnjeannetteMarie-Swifie4Ever]

Yep, she was definitely inspired by Tolkien just as Tolkien was inspired by Nordic folklore. Art inspires art 🌟

[@ReymundoCortez]

In the book: after the chase on the brooms Lupin is furious at Potter because it was his fault they knew which Potter was the real one. The reason is when they first attack Harry used a disarming charm instead of an attack spell or curse and it gave him away. So basically they put their lives on the line and Harry screwed it up.

[@ruhdiego1999]

The dance scene is my favorite scene from this movie. The meaning of it with music is wonderful For me this scene shows how incredible the relationship of the two is because in all the films they made a point of showing that nothing romantic came from either of them. My favorite friendship from the franchise ❤

[@ThePsywren]

22:32 grrr another frustrating thing! Lol they were actually told this bit of information by a portrait of Sirius’ great-great-grandfather, who was also a Hogwarts headmaster (which means his portrait is living in Dumbledore’s old office, so he can now talk to Snape), that Hermione smuggled out of Grimmauld Place. Phineas was snarky. He’s well-missed in the plot of the films. Anyway, 😂 if you want the full story, listen to the books. I’m tempted to read them on KZbin for the new potterheads who can’t sit down and read 3k+ pages

[@paulcurran4786]

I love this one, it's firmly at my number 2, right behind Order of the Phoenix. It's the best acting of the trio and nicely sets up the finale......and by the way things are going we'll be watching the finale tomorrow lol ✌

[@adamdutton1609]

Interesting fact, the lady (Mafalda Hopkirk) character that Hermione turns into at the ministry of Magic is played by Sophie Thompson who is the youngest sister of Emma Thompson who plays Sybil Trelawney in the Harry Potter franchise

[@pieceofgosa]

It's worth noting that Voldemort doesn't really give a shit about blood purity and all that stuff, he just uses it to gain supporters. Yes, his daddy issues do manifest as violence toward muggles but the only thing Voldemort TRULY cares about is living forever.

[@caitlinmosdell3690]

I can't believe we're almost at the end of this magical journey! If you're looking for more Harry Potter related stuff to enjoy, I highly suggest you watch Starkids a very potter musical. You will not be disappointed!

[@nod_jawk]

20:17 (about Hermione having all the useful stuff in her bag) "Hermione basically may as well be Santa at this point" 🤣

[@Joshua-rq3om]

When this was in theaters, most of us (myself too) walked out totally drained and somewhat deflated. The film ended with a lot of pain. 😢

[@SassySaffa]

Fun fact there is actually a fan made memorial for dobby at the beach location of where they filmed R.I.P Dobby 😭❤️ Location - Freshwater West in Pembrokeshire

[@ArwensPhotography]

Excellent reaction as usual! I love hearing your thoughts after you get it where some don’t! I am beyond excited to see your reaction to part 2 as it is incredible!

[@wordstowordlessthings]

not sure if anyone told you, but when Harry won the Triwizard Cup in GoF it came with a large cash prize, too - understandably he didn't want the money due to everything that happened so he decided to give it to Fred & George. That's how they opened the joke shop.

[@dcemerald70]

I can’t believe you’re almost at the end of this journey! I cannot wait to see your reaction to the finale! Dobby’s death is so heartbreaking that every time I see it and the following scene of Voldemort stealing the elder wand I can only express it in these words, “NOW IT’S PERSONAL!” 🧑🏻‍🦱🪄🪨👤😍😱😭😡

[@jenniferatterton1587]

The dance between Harry and Hermione was more just to raise their spirits as friends. It was when Dobby died that really got to me in this one. Do not apologise about being upset. It is so brave of you to show your feelings. I wish more people did. You will find out about the gem in the kast movie dont want to spoil it for you.
