I Read Harry Potter for the First Time🧙‍♂️⚡️(Sorcerer’s Stone) | Getting Sorted & First Impressions

[@toodlescae]

I think the only thing that didn't translate well to the movies is Harry's thoughts that reveal just how snarky and stubborn he really is in the books. He's a bit too nice in the movies. In the books he's just like most 11 year olds just with magical powers.

[@dylancanread]

That’s a great point! I think you’re right, we do miss out on some crucial inner dialogue and sarcasm in the movies!

[@toodlescae]

@@dylancanread yeah Harry can be a bit more..sassy...in the books. Can you see movie Harry telling Dudley that he didn't think the toilet had had anything as bad as Dudley's head in it so it might get sick? Lol.

[@dylancanread]

@@toodlescae haha you’re right! That was one of my favorite lines in the book!

[@Gwenhwyfar7]

Also a Ravenclaw! Hagrid has been consistently my favorite character over the years. I started reading them as soon as the first movie came out and had to wait for 5, 6 and 7 as they came out. They were a massive part of my 20's. Have read the series about 18 times since. It never gets old. It's the most whimsical and enjoyable series I can think of.

[@dylancanread]

I just finished book 7 (video coming soon!) and I have to agree! Such a fun series, unlike anything I’ve ever read. Hagrid is such a lovable character!

[@MsAppassionata]

Hello fellow Ravenclaw! Just received my Ravenclaw sweatshirt which I’m happy about. My favorite character (not to be confused with my favorite person in the series) is Snape because he is such a complex individual. The person I would probably prefer hanging out with is either Hermione or Luna. Ginny’s kind of cool also. It’s hard to pick just one. ☺️

[@Inkyonpaws]

I’m one too!

[@toodlescae]

Welcome fellow Ravenclaw. My 5 year old great-niece got me into Harry Potter in 2005 when she begged me to watch the 1st movie with her on cable. As soon as I found out there were books first I immediately read the 2 my niece had and got the rest that were out from the library as soon as I finished those. I was in my 40's at the time. I love the whole series even though I'm 61 now.

[@dylancanread]

Thank you! 😁 I’m glad you enjoyed the series so much! I’m sure you have great memories watching the movie with your great-niece!

[@toodlescae]

@@dylancanread Also with her younger sisters and now with her sons.

[@inkeriananas]

17:17 you may have found this out by now but I just wanted to point out that the Ravenclaw house colours are blue and bronze! The movies messed them up sadly 🥲

[@dylancanread]

Oh wow, I didn’t even realize that!

[@krumfam]

Fellow Ravenclaw here :) I'm so excited for the journey you are taking! I just finished reading the 1st book to my kids.

[@dylancanread]

Thank you so much! 😁 it’s been really fun so far and I keep hearing that they only get better! I hope you kids loved book one!

[@DevilboyScooby]

"Everybody wants Gryffindor" Nope! Ravenclaw and proud ☺️

[@bonecanoe86]

I feel like it went through cycles. At first, everyone wanted Gryffindor. Then people started seeing Gryffindor as basic and wanted any house BUT Gryffindor. Now I think it's evened out with people wanting Gryffindor about as much as the other houses. But like you I've always been a proud Ravenclaw.

[@irmatezx3]

I am enjoying and loving these series. !

[@dylancanread]

Thank you so much! 😁 I’m loving the books so far!

[@sallyzh7]

I'm so excited for your Harry Potter journey! I loved the books growing up. Bought the last two books in hard cover right when they came out and finished them in 2-3 days. As an adult, I still enjoy re-reading them every now and then. They were a great pandemic marathon read in 2020. 🙂

[@dylancanread]

Thank you so much! I bet it was really neat to read them as they came out! 😁

[@LeonCook34]

I seen Harry Potter books as a kid never read it thought the book was to long. I read The first one then seen the movie im currently on chapter 5 of the second book.

[@Mosoup17]

I’m also Ravenclaw! There’s a really cool sorting hat quiz that shows you each house’s percentages. I first read the books around 2018, and just read the last book in January. Couldn’t bring myself to end it!

[@dylancanread]

Ravenclaws unite!! Haha I hope you enjoyed the last book! Definitely understand putting off the last book in a series!

[@lynncoraa]

i got the books as a gift when my mom passed away 2 years ago. never read them until now. ive seen the movies and loved them. but the books. OH MAN HAVE I MISSED OUT

[@soysaucehairdye7869]

Sorry for your loss. I also read all 7 of them after my dad passed away in 2007.

[@KamelyFessler]

I read them a while back and enjoyed them.

[@soysaucehairdye7869]

I first read the first 3 Harry Potter books right when they came out and thought they were decent. In late 2007, my father passed away and I binge read all 7 of them within a 3 month period and it was really my first experience of hardcore reading a series of books for long sessions at a time.

[@belle2157]

Read all the HP books as they came out. My oldest was 1 year old when sorcerers stone was published. I would also choose changing appearance at will as a superpower. I agree that mind reading might be a scary power to have, definitely don't want to know what others really think of me.

[@dylancanread]

How did you like the books? I bet it was really neat reading them as they were released! 😁

[@belle2157]

It was excruciating! My youngest son waited until they were all released then he read them back to back.

[@Andy-the-crow]

My house is Slytherin and my patronus is a scops owl and my wand is eleven inches ebony wood with unicorn hair core

[@reneepope-munro8115]

I knew by answer 3 where you’d be haha. We picked literally every question identically, and I have never gotten anything on any HP quiz other than Ravenclaw. Welcome to the Blue and Bronze, man!

[@dylancanread]

Haha that’s so funny! But you know what they say: great minds think alike! 😜

[@bumblebeeisfree]

I like how many people chose their pets based on their perception of them in terms of appearance and overall sort of cleanliness i guess or cool factor. Mean while im here like well, i choose a cat i wont be able to focus on it and I would hate to entrap a pet of mine with other seemingly random pets in the dorm that I would be in. Plus i wouldnt be able to hold it back from wandering getting lost or killed. I wouldnt choose an owl because im guessing they would be very demanding pets. As in exercise, diet, and overall maintenance. Not to mention that I dont think exactly recall the movies mentioning anything about taking care of one's pet properly. So almost no one is being taught anything about falconry according to my limited knowledge of the wizarding world and irl lmao. So i would choose a frog/toade. I think their maintenance would be simpler and wouldnt take up as much space as the other.

[@DearReaders_thisisJess]

My favorite book is The Goblet of Fire! • Good video!

[@dylancanread]

Thank you again! 😁 Can’t wait to get to that one!

[@TahitiaRose]

I loved the hunger games series as well!. I was a Twilight fan too, lol. I also have not read any of the Harry Potter books(nor watched the movies) and they have been on my TBR list for far too long. lol This must be a sign for me to finally read them.

[@dylancanread]

Oh wow! So I’m not the only one who hasn’t read them all??? Haha And yes!! I haven’t read the Twilight books, but the hunger games was so good! Definitely making me nostalgic. If you do decide to read the Harry Potter books, I’m sure you’ll enjoy them! 😁

[@terabyter9000]

Just read the first book and I'm in my forties. Currently doing an in-depth review for Goodreads.

[@dylancanread]

I hope you love the series as much as I did!

[@Earthisntreal]

Another great video❤!

[@dylancanread]

Thank you so much! 😁

[@awakeandhungry4334]

Welcome to Ravenclaw! Ka-Kaw!

[@sylwuskak7065]

These books was the most important books of my childhood!

[@dylancanread]

I can see why! I bet it truly was magical reading them as a child!

[@sylwuskak7065]

@@dylancanread Well.. I was 16 when the last book was published so I was their target. And maybe that's why I'm crazy about this books till now (I've read them in three different languages). While my 10 years younger sister read maybe one or two.

[@littleangels85]

I just started reading and watching Harry Potter at 38 years old about 2 weeks ago! I am so disappointed in myself that I didn't give them a chance way back when the books were coming out. I was "one of those people" who thought that HP was "weird"... better late than never right? I'm currently on chapter 5 of The Goblet of Fire

[@moose5497]

Glad u finally came around to it J.K . Rowling is a genius

[@extraHERO]

18:28 is the truest thing and the hardest thing for some people to accept. It doesn't stop people from claiming others have replicated it.

[@lordmittens3659]

Welcome to the rabbit hole lol I hope you enjoy the series! 😁.....Oh man I can't tell you how excited I am for Hogwarts legacy!!!! I've always dreamed of a game where you could explore the castle as Majestic as it is described in the books!! 🤤

[@dylancanread]

Haha thank you! Enjoying it very much so far! And yes!! I think it’s going to be so fun!

[@P0SHED]

Omg 😂The bit about Americans and the first book. Made me giggle like crazy. It’s sad but it makes perfectly sense! The time turner: ‘hmm. Looks like a peanut’ …..😂😅 Your killing me!

[@TerezatheTeacher]

During the Sorting you kept coming back to how you chose wisdom, so you must base all the other decisions on how wise you are 😂 So damn Ravenclaw. Greetings from a fellow geni- I mean Ravenclaw.

[@u140550]

You should take one that has all possible questions, and see the percentages you can get. Meaning if you get ravenclaw again, you will see the parts of you that are the other houses.

[@Christian-ut2sp]

If you’re doing a mix of the audiobooks and physical copies, get the Stephen Fry audiobooks

[@dylancanread]

Thank you for the recommendation! 😁

[@blankahegyi5561]

Hello I am a very proud rawenclaw welcome to the house.🥳👋

[@DoubleA-ou7pj]

I just bought the entire series the other day so I’ll watch this after I read them 😊

[@dylancanread]

I hope you enjoy your read through! 😁

[@keymo9480]

I love how we answered the questions exactly alike. 😂😂😂

[@crystalcounterman4274]

I'm 40....so I was older than the intended Harry Potter audience. I was in high school when the first book came out and I didn't read them until I was an adult....I want to say in my mid 20's...but I have reread all 7 every year since the first read.

[@dylancanread]

An annual reread is impressive! But understandable - they are so good! 😁

[@carolinasarah3647]

I was around maybe 16 or 17 when I first got in to HP.

[@DearReaders_thisisJess]

Welcome to Ravenclaw!! 🦅

[@dylancanread]

Woop woop! 🦅 Big brains unite 🧠 😜

[@lindaeshbach6494]

Lol! I think I've seen all the Harry Potter movies but I didn't see them in the order they were made. They were confusing to me. I liked them but I don't have an urge to read the books. So I can't wait to see what you have to say. GO DYLAN! Lol

[@dylancanread]

Haha thank you! 😁 I’m so excited to read all of them so I can compare them to the movies! I did enjoy the movies but I wouldn’t say I was really crazy about them. If you do ever decide to give the books a read, I hope you enjoy them 😁

[@acidead7904]

"Dishonest" to the troll that initiated the fight and is refusing to let you pass

[@mikebluet]

Dude the mic you are using is so crisp. What's it called??? And I'm starting the series myself!!!

[@dylancanread]

Thank you! It’s a Rode Wireless Go II! I also doctor the audio a little in Premiere Pro when I edit. Sometimes it comes out sounding ok, sometimes it doesn’t 🤷‍♂️ 😆 I know you’ll enjoy the series! It’s been amazing!

[@stephaniepage4334]

I hope that j.k do a book about fleamont potter?

[@aldreacobain]

I remember the first time I read this book: I was about 18 and completely DEVOUR the book in 3 hours... Never accomplished that again in my many re-reads of the series 😂

[@DearReaders_thisisJess]

I have started playing Hogwarts Legacy and absolutely love it! 💕 I have read the series 10 times already 🤭 and this year I am planning to read it again but in Spanish (my first language) so I’m really excited about that! • Also, really enjoy the video and your humor, & I also have ordered bookmarks from your wife’s beautiful shop! Can’t wait 🥰💕

[@dylancanread]

10?!? That’s impressive! Haha Thank you so very much! We both truly appreciate it! 😁 I’m so glad you’re enjoying the game! It looks incredible!

[@patax144]

As someone who first read them at 17 in French while studying the language this shall be interesting

[@dylancanread]

That’s a pretty unique way to experience the series!

[@HarvestLockwood]

Fellow Ravenclaw! Professor Quirrell sounds like squirrel (the animal)! If that helps.

[@dylancanread]

Woop woop! 🙌🏻 Thank you for that! That’s really helpful!

[@bonecanoe86]

Dylan: The first Harry Potter book came out the year I was born Me: *Benjamin Button Aging Meme* Haha, but fittingly, the first Harry Potter book came out when I was 11, right when I should have gotten my Hogwarts letter. I was also 14 when the 4th book came out in 2000, which was very cool. I persuaded my parents to take me to the midnight release of that one. Also, hello fellow Ravenclaw!

[@carolinasarah3647]

I’m a Hufflepuff and to be honest, I thought HP was kind of dumb after watching the trailer. A friend of mine got me in to it and I fell in love with the series. So I’ve been a fan since it came out. I did watch the movie first though, I know booo. Haha So I have now read all 8 and seen all 8 movies and I’m a massive fan. I’m 37 years old absolutely love it.

[@carolinasarah3647]

7 books, typo.

[@Givenofficial]

a fellow ravenclaw!

[@dylancanread]

I’m in good company then!

[@ojet013]

I still haven't read them

[@dylancanread]

They are so good! Would highly recommend!

[@LizHays-oy4vi]

I read Harry Potter for the first time when i was 8

It must have been so special enjoying it as a child!

Do you know how many thing animals might overhear lol 😆

Lol 😆

[@staraptor2585]

Hi I’m from the uk. I am a big fan of Harry Potter though I make fun of it.

[@dylancanread]

Haha it’s a really great story! At least so far.

It’s pronounced Quir-rell just to make it easier on you dude

[@alananimus9145]

😢 hey just wanted to remind everyone Harry Potter is a slave owner.
