I’m still not over it but now I’m going into Deathly Hallows hoping some Death Eaters get murdered this time… thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed a good cry! Always good to cry every once in a while.

[@jordanlassiter5311]

You need your mentally prepare yourself for the next one.

[@ankitsaxena2023]

Book version Dumbledore try to stunt and hide harry st that friction of second dreco disarm Dumbledore. Also Dumbledore know about Voldemort Hucroxes. But he don't know how many of that. He give Harry idea that what will be other Hucroxes.

[@moontainbew5018]

i hope respond but dont have too, so you know something the begining scene did not happen, nor the Weasley house caught on fire that was just added bs, the coool aspect of this was missing, Harry was at Privet Drive, and Dumbledore talked to Harry and his Aunt Uncle and Dudley, Dumbledore told Them that the good thing they did for Harry was feed him to at least live, and not turn out like Dudley, he said you never treated him like family, and his protection will end when turns 17. And the Dursleys was scared when he walked up to Vernon and basically said be wise not to smart mouth me back. There was also other great moments not in it, one being a Witches memory had the cup of Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff she had a house elf, a young Tom was there saw her collection she showed him when he was working at the place where Harry fell into with powder something and Burkes, when he saw the locket with Slytherin he noticed that he really wanted that, his eyes gleamed red, then Dumbledore told him that she died not to long after by poisen, and the elf was framed for it by being so old. But it was Tom who did it. ALso there was one about Voldermorts mother which its a shame it was cut too very important his up bringing, Voldermorts mother was with a family called Gaunt, a brother and a dad who was really vial and basically wicked. The son liked to kill snakes and hang them on wall, and the dad was always making his mother Penelope like a slave the Ministry official was there to tell them that the son had hurt muggle people and was due to a hearing. Then they eventually attacked the official and he left to get backup they took them down and sent to Azkaban, when they got out 2 different times the son got out, and he meet Tom, he told Tom he looked like his dad the muggle up on the hill and that his sister fancied him and went off together, so he hood winked his uncle, and framed him when he went and killed his dad and grandparents, who found out abandoned him as a baby, for it was seen as a possible that his mother, gave a love potion to Tom Sr, and made him fall for her over a muggle woman he loved. When she stopped giving him the love potion he bailed on her never to be seen again the townsfolks said that he was hood winked . When at the orphanage, it was found out ina memory to Harry that the woman there said that Penelope or so i think called, was alone starving and weak, she was pregnant and to call him by his sir name Tom Marvolo Riddle, then she died some bit after. So they did as she said when died said poor thing, so .. The Locket, the cup was gone when the family of the woman witch rich items were missing, and his own Uncle he framed for killing the Riddles, the elf was framed for killing her Mistress. All because of Tom. Hope respond but these are big stuff that should of been in it!

The Deathly Hallows was two movies but only one book, so I would try to bunch your last two reactions together as closely as possible.

"Don't use that name" "Yeah, call him Tom!" lmao that is such a flex

[@Rcmkney23]

the prince reveal is so cool in the books. its lightly portrayed in the movie but in book the reveal is so shaking to harry bc he spends the whole book obsessively reading the book. he gets so close to the person hes reading like a best friend, learning all these cool spells invented by the writer (some of which like what he used on draco turns out to be brutal dark magic) and potion tricks that make him so good in class, and at the same time being so suspicious of snape and draco and ofc hating snape the last 5 books. to find out the writer of the book he idolized was snape devastated him

[@dalehammers4425]

Yup, and its hinted at when in the books Harry hits Draco with Septum Sempra Snape orders him to show him his potions book, because Snape was the only person alive that knew the spell since he created it. And Harry is fortunate that Snape was so close when he cast it on Draco, because Snape is also the only person alive that knows the counter-curse. By one spell alone Snape knew that Harry had his old book.

[@dalehammers4425]

Luna’s ridiculous Gryffindor hat is one of the best parts of this movie. If you pay close attention, it blinks. Also, in the book it even roars lol.

[@bannonstanks]

Even better... she's NOT Gryffindor! She is just a loyal friend.

[@fawfulfan]

"This bastard, I want to know more about this dude." That's Fenrir Greyback. The werewolf who attacked Lupin as a child. In the books it's explained that he's the most bloodthirsty werewolf who ever lived, that he wants to infect so many wizards that he can take over their society, and that he's become so addicted to blood, especially children's blood, that he even sometimes mauls people when he isn't transformed. In the books, he mauls Bill Weasley (Ron's eldest brother) shortly after Dumbledore is killed, and that's why he's scarred in the next movie.

[@adrian_r539]

I gotta say you have become one of my favorite reactors just on this series, your commentary is top tier hilarious. Keep doing what you're doing man! 💯👍

[@masterlcpl3736]

[@kyleconner6095]

Dearest Cole, It pains me to see you so sad, but you delivered one of the best reactions I've ever seen to this film. Dumbledore may have pimped his last ride, but he remains the OG supreme of the wizarding world. The road ahead with the last two films won't be an easy one. Prepare yourself for more heartbreak. We'll be here for you!

[@Algorythmfpv]

Normally I'd say "don't set up expectations" for someone doing a reaction. but it's just universally known they progressively get heavier and darker all the way to the end so it'd be foolish not to help spare people a little by letting 'em know it's a rough one ahead. (but a great one too!!!) So, I must say. That was very well said.

[@TheDorkSideTV]

Dumbledore pimping his last ride is one of the greatest things I've ever read. Incredible.

[@VonOutlaw]

In the books, Hermione goes into the library and does research on the witches and wizards bloodlines, she finds a family by the name of Prince Severus Snape mother's maiden name is Prince. His father is a muggle, therefore that makes him a Half-Blood Prince.

[@phtevenj]

So fun story, when Ron was poisoned Harry used a Bezoar... it counteracts poisons... the funny part is in the very first potions class Snape asked Harry where to find one... love the call back here

[@charlienerd]

And also some spells but as Snape says not all spells and potions

[@Kurt_707]

I love that you cried, it shows how much you've enjoyed the series and how invested you're. Can't wait until Deathly Hallows part 1, also with Snape, the movie version is why people love him but book Snape is completely unhinged

That scene where Dumbledore and Harry are wreathed by the ring of fire is one of my favorite moments in the entire series. I think it shows the endpoint of how their relationship developed thru the series, from Dumbledore being the big boss who pulled Harry out of trouble, to him having to rely on and trust Harry to save his own life in a life or death scenario.

[@TheHeirOfPoseidon]

We ALL was crying in the theaters opening night. Literally my entire theater raised our wands

[@davidmcneill4777]

I wished I was there to hug you, man. We all get emotionally invested in these characters. The same happened to me when Sirius Black died. Just when Harry finally has good family (godfather) to connect with and then have it taken away from him, that got me.

[@abc123tiktok]

Part 1 and 2 of deathly hallows was intend to be watched separate. They are full on movies of their on and deserve time can give to them. Also Dumbledore death for many of use was heart breaking because it was some of the first fictional characters we followed for so long. Started with the first book as a kid in 1997 and finished series in 2007. We had these stories for decade and to lose a character like Dumbledore was tough.

[@RiseeRee]

The wand raising was a beautiful addition to this movie. It gets me choked up every time 🥲

[@marked_edge642]

Phoenixes are very loyal creatures and you can't just buy one. They choose to stay by your side. This end scene with Fawkes was him basically crying because Dumbledore died.

[@GIEGIE192]

What I love about the reveal of Snape being the Half-Blood Prince is how tongue-in-cheek the meaning behind the name is. So, Snape’s mom is a pureblooded witch but his dad Tobias Snape is a muggle, making him a half-blood. And his mom’s maiden name was Eileen Prince. See how clever 16-year-old Severus was? 😂 I sobbed like a baby for basically the entirety of the last 3 films, so prepare yourself. Definitely do separate reactions for the last two movies, they do however occur (plot-wise) one right after another since the original Deathly Hallows was one book.

[@Pippa_McConnell]

16:00 FUN FACT; in 2009, David Yates included that line of dialogue for Seamus just so Cole's Quidditch bets running gag would be vindicated 15 years later.

[@InimicalWit]

19:45 It was a big deal among us, too, when the books came out. Some of us were given a sticker to choose with purchase of the novel: declaring whether or not we trusted Snape. I still have mine. Like Lupin, I was very confident in Dumbledore’s trust. At the end of the book, our faith was truly tested. 😢 This was a thrilling adventure. Thanks for having us along to share 💙

[@whyjordie]

We love you, Cole! *hugs* also definitely do DHpt1 and 2 as separate reactions!

[@MR-ly1rc]

It’s so nice to see someone really be invested as us original fans. I cried when I first read the book from the same part as you. You are a joy to watch!

The end there with everyone raising their wands making a small light but together it was a potent light, it's very philosophical! Always gets me chocked up! Your reaction is just like mine! Can't hold back the tears... JKR is a great writer! I admire her writing style! When you read the book, pages fly without even realizing it! Such a fluent writing style!

Seeing other share the same emotions and passions as we do has a ways of bringing us together as friends even tho we may never physically meet in real life. Much love to you brother! I started your reactions yesterday and I will finish Harry Potter tomorrow! And start Lord of the rings as well.

[@ProfessorXEditz.]

In the movies, when the burrow was burned now, that was not in the books, also, there was a battle on the astromony tower that got Bill Weasley, the oldest Weasley sibling, (he was cut out of the sixth film entirely)scratched and attacked by Fenrir Greyback, that guy that burned down the burrow, also the werewolf that bit Lupin. For some reason, in the film, they made Lupin and Tonks, as a couple already, this was not in the books, as Lupin refused to be with Tonks, since he said he was to old, to poor, and too dangerous. But he later got together with Tonks due to the example Fleur set that she was still going to be with Fleur even though look unrecognizable by the scars(he isn’t a werewolf though because he wasn’t scratched nor but during the full moon). The book was one of the darkest, but the movies were kind of comedy. Ginny was messed up badly in this film(Luna and Harry probaby have more chemistry than Ginny and Harry😂)Their is just a lot that the movies skipped out, by as always, love your reactions❤Can’t wait for the 2 deathly Hallows movie reaction!

[@kajuaarche452]

Love love love this reaction! This is my favorite of the 8 movies! When I saw the tears on the thumbnail I already knew what it was for. Your tears almost made me start up lmbo! I remember reading the books and getting to that point and was FLOORED!! Great reaction! See you in the next one!

You always post at the perfect time thank you sir. Your reactions are dope keep them up!

[@kathysutton-zy8ww]

It broke me when Dumbledore died in the book. I still feel it when I see it. 😢 I literally put the book down and wouldn’t pick it up again for a couple of days. You’re going to learn and feel so many things during Deathly Hallows, it might be mentally and emotionally exhausting to do them in one go. Best to give yourself a break. Your HP reactions are without a doubt the best I’ve seen!

[@TransparentEclipse]

I already know what to expect but I still can’t wait 😂. It’s ok Cole, we all feel u on this

[@toodlescae]

When I read the part of the book where Dumbledore died I almost threw the book across the room and I don't even dog-ear pages in books to mark my place. My original copy of the book still has tear stains on those pages and the pages of Dumbledore's funeral. There were a lot more memories about Voldemort and clues about what the horcruxes were in the book. As much as you love the movies I think you would really love the books. Not a Snape fan. He was the definition of nasty af in the books. He was an adult who used his position of authority to bully children. There's a reason Neville's bogart turned into Snape but the biggest reason is only in the books.

[@Jevjevjevj]

I love your reactions so much! The commentary, the sincerity, it's one of the best reactions out there

[@ajonteampanalo]

When you asked “Why aren’t we calling out the Order of the Phoenix” when they went to the cave, the horcrux hunt was top secret because they didn’t want to tip Voldy off that they’re looking for the objects that tie him to life so he could hide them better or possibly make more. Dumbledore had a theory that Voldy made a horcrux but he had no idea there were 6 horcruxs / lifelines + part of Voldy’s soul still in his body = splitting the soul into 7 pieces

[@Algorythmfpv]

Can't wait to see the rest. Your reaction has been great sofar. you're not only catching many things others don't but I love how much love you already have for everyone and everything in the series.

[@captainastro_]

Another fantastic reaction Cole! This is my favorite series you’ve done so far! Been loving the full length reactions on Pateron! So looking forward to the last two movies! Half-Blood Prince will always be one of my favorites! So underrated! The ending ALWAYS gets me! I love the whole slughorn subplot too!

[@philipem1000]

First off, I've always been the kind of guy who wants to hug the characters in the movies when sad stuff happens, now with this new trend, I want to hug the reactor, haha. No one makes my boy Cole cry and gets away with it! I probably would split up the parts, that's what everyone else seems to do and you might have a long reaction if you do them all at once.

Part 1 and 2 of deathly hallows do lead into each other pretty well and it is pretty exhilarating in a weird way to watch them back to back so I’d maybe recommend doing that

[@philipem1000]

It gets even darker. But trust that the story has an arc to it; characters too have their arc. And Rowlings was a masterful writer who created intricacies none of us foresaw. Part 1 and 2 probably have to be seen separately; they were divided because of the length in the first place. 1 is very necessary to set up the conclusion of the tale. You could do them together but it would be pretty long and there's a lot to digest along the way.

Great reaction Cole! You were not alone with the tears. I still cry every time I see this movie. And I have seen this too many times to count .

[@lilscenechick1995]

Dumbledore’s death hit me so hard. I symapthize so much with you Cole ❤

[@Masq1980]

it is amusing the way in the beginning you questioned Dumbledore's outfit - if I remember correctly - in the first book, there is a part in the beginning where Vernon Dursley thinking to himself about some weirdly dressed people in robes and such on his way to or from work to emphasize to the reader the opinion of normalcy the Dursley's have. I believe the Death Eaters were trying to recruit Slughorn because he's a Slytherin and remember what Ron said in the first one 'There's not a single witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin' (though as we know that's not quite true as Pettigrew was in Gryffindor). Slytherin isn't wholly *bad* just it gets a bad rap and a lot of the traits which exemplify Slytherin are traits that could potentially sway one over to the dark side - Slytherin are known for being ambitious, determination, resourcefulness, cunning. Tom and his tomfoolery lol 'Hopefully Ron doesn't think Harry and Hermione are together we can avoid any unnecessary drama' lol that going through my mind knowing what is coming is rather amusing! The guy with Belatrix at the Weasley's was Fenrir Greyback - he's a werewolf, and he's also the werewolf that actually attacked Lupin when he was a kid and infected him with lycanthropy. The things in the water in Voldemort's hiding place are called Inferi. They are corpses that have been bewitched to do a Dark wizard's bidding; dead bodies, that have been reanimated by some form of the Dark Arts. Snape, growing up was a potions prodigy - bit of a call back to that was in movie number 3 when Sirius says to Severus 'Why don't you go play with your chemistry set!' Loving the heartfelt and genuine reaction - not a lot of reactors actually get so emotional and let it be seen on screen. It takes courage to show that vulnerability and I think you are awesome and one of my favorite reactors to this series because of that! Also your insights are brilliant and you are really perceptive, picking up on a lot of stuff that usually goes overlooked!

Great reaction! You definitively have become one of my favourite reactors. 🎉 I actually feel bad for Draco here. Voldemort wants him to kill Dumbledore and he knows what it means if he doesn’t. He must be super frightened. Especially since Voldemort only gave him that task cause he was angry with Lucius. I would bet he even knew Draco wasn’t likely to succeed.

[@LaurinGarcia]

The reason Professor Snape called himself The Half Blood Prince is because his mother who was a witch had the maiden name of "Prince". He loved his mother and was proud of her. But his muggle father was very abusive. Snape hated his father so much that he liked referring to himself as the Half Blood Prince rather than the name of his father's last name of "Snape" during his years as a student in Hogwarts. The ironic thing about Harry is he always had a hard time learning potions from Professor Snape. But the moment Harry found Snape's old text book with all of Snape's hand written notes and didn't realized that it had belonged to Snape Harry suddenly began to excel in potions. 📖⚗️🧪🪄

I think splitting the parts is the most popular desicion, and it makes more sense, but smashing them together is I think what I'd like. But still, splitting it would make way more sense. They're still two long movies.

Release the deathly hallows as 2 videos. The first one is a lot of set up / build up for the second part. But you'll like them both.

Great reaction!🫡

[@BroadwayBound009]

I look forward to your reactions each week. I think part 1 and 2 both warrant their own reactions. Also you should react to the Harry Potter anniversary special and there is a creating the world of Harry Potter doc that’s super interesting insight into casting and filming the first one. Also you can do the official wizard if world tests online to get sorted into a house, get your wand and your patronus. It’s kinda cool. There are also deleted scenes from the films and behind the scenes stuff that was on the dvd extras.

Was waiting for this one! My personal favourite in the Potter series. The dark vibes turn up to 11 and it sets the stage for the Deathly Hallows brilliantly. Perfect film!

My music history professor in college told me that the music when Harry kneels by Dumbledore’s body is based on the same chord progression as an aria called Dido’s Lament from the opera Dido and Aeneas. It’s essentially meant to be the epitome of despair in musical form. I never saw that scene the same way again

[@breabear907]

I was sobbing with you. Even though I’ve seen this like 30 times. Still hits hard.

[@FiercedeityBrad]

Feel your emotions my dude, in the immortal words of "Return to Innocence " by Enigma " if you want then start to laugh, if you must then start to cry, be yourself, dont hide"

[@kylereilly3584]

I love how even though you're watching these for the first time, you take the time to memorize names and actions that happened in previous movies. When it comes to Aragogg, most reactors I watch always say "oh that's that giant spider, what's its name?" But, you, immediately, "Oh is that Aragogg?" Awesome reaction.

I LOVE this channel ❤

[@PercyMeans]

I've seen the Harry Potter movies countless times, so Dumbledores death is usually easy enough to watch without tears, but damn, watching you react to it absolutely made me bawl. Great videos man, can't wait to finish your reactions to this series

[@InimicalWit]

39:58 This series really is a great one to mature on. I’m always fascinated to learn how people chose to show these to their children, once the whole series was finished and could be viewed in one go, instead of as they grew up. Took like 10 years to get through all these movies lol Just imagining the lives of all the kids who were Harry/Hermione’s age alongside these films is crazy. So much lol You’ve made it this far, Cole; thanks for sticking with it after what this one put you through. Looking forward to the rest 😄💙

[@marritposthumus4753]

Hi Cole! First off all, all best wishes for you and your loved ones for The New year! About The ugly crying, I was ugly crying when the book came out, I’ve seen The movie a dozen of times and ugly cried every time and I ugly cried Waching you ugly cry! You are not alone😂

[@roses_and_lillies]

Can´t wait to see your reaction to Deathly Hallows! love your content

[@masterlcpl3736]

dont be ashamed at shedding tears over dumbledores death. it truly is a tear jerking moment. i cried the first time i saw this movie

[@shiykyk7538]

My DUDE this is definitely one of my favourite in the series and easily my favourite book🔥🔥🔥 so excited for deathly hallows

[@otakuwolf4ever985]

"I wanna know more about this dude." that is Fenrir Greyback, leader of the werewolves, the most savage and brutal of his kind. In fact, he's the very werewolf who turned Lupin into one. Lupin's father had offended Greyback and so he bit his son as retribution. Greyback especially enjoys biting children so they'll grow up hating normal witches and wizards from being shunned by them. Voldemort has threatened in the past and present to unleash Greyback upon people's sons and daughters if they don't agree to serve him. Worse is that Greyback has become so much more beast than man that he even attacks without the full moon. His thirst for human flesh has become that unquenchable.

[@isabelledrevet5913]

We told you it was getting darker and darker... And it’s not finished ! This book/movie is one of my favorite, with the last one you will enjoy, I’m sure. Very touching reaction, thanks ❤

[@jackkilman8726]

My only major quibble with this film is that I wish they could have included Dumbledore's funeral, both for its poignancy and for the Ministry politics just below the surface. They had to condense a lot for these films, but the internal politics of the Ministry are fascinating and could make a whole movie in their own right.

[@ankitsaxena2023]

Book version Dumbledore try to stunt and hide harry st that friction of second dreco disarm Dumbledore. Also Dumbledore know about Voldemort Hucroxes. But he don't know how many of that. He give Harry idea that what will be other Hucroxes.

[@InimicalWit]

40:47 Agreed. Each book is an astounding revelation about the events of the year, but at the same time, by this point in the book series it was clear: each new story was going to recontextualize the events of not just that year, but previous years, as well. To go back and see how well all the unseen events really did shape things is some excellent writing / film making. 💙
