The scene where Lucius kicks Dobby down the stairs was fully improvised. When he kicked the air the director thought he had slipped, but he told him "I didn't slip I was kicking Dobby". 👍🏼

[@mylightobscures]

LOL I never knew that That's hilarious rip Dobby

[@kathydouglas6892]

Dobby had heard about how kind Harry Potter is and about how he stopped the Dark Lord, and he wanted to protect Harry from the evil that was being set loose on the school. Being in the Malfoy house, he had heard all about the plan to resurrect Voldemore and cause havoc with the students. Dobby didn't want Harry caught in the middle of it all and getting killed. He was actually very brave to go against his masters.

[@TerezatheTeacher]

Did Dobby do something to the wall? Does Dobby work for a Slytherin family? Was Voldemort a Slytherin, so the scar gives Harry Slytherin powers? Damn, most reactors are too busy reacting randomly to actually remember and analyse, while she is actually realising how things work.

[@Makkaru112]

During the entire series of movies we were always afraid Kemi from KSO would have figured everything out before the movie was was even halfway through! Some commenters mentioned this and it was all in good fun. It was like a humorous sort of anxiety of “oh shite she’s figuring it out too soon. Drat!” 😂😸❤️

[@lu2883]

Dobby keeps hurting himself because him being there is against his master's will. House elves have to obey, they're basically slaves, and Dobby developed self-punishment whenever he is going against what he's supposed to do or thinks his work wasn't enough. Girl, you just wait for it...Malfoy having a punchable face... 👀 Love how you called that Lockhart was a fraud right away 🙌 Voldemort is a Slytherin, basically every bad guy in the books/movies is a Slytherin, although not everyone who's sorted into that house is evil. Just so you know: Dumbledore is played by a different actor starting from HP 3, because Richard Harris passed away. Sadly, Michael Gambon (Dumbledore #2) passed away two months ago :( several actors have died since the first movie came out.

[@changingmind3248]

Well, *most* bad wizards are former slytherins (at least those who went to Hogwarts) - but then there's Wormtail and honestly Lockhart is kind of evil too and he was in Ravenclaw

[@halcromwell9030]

Not all Slytherins are bad according to the books, Merlin was a real person who went to hogwarts and was in the Slyrherin house. Also later on in the movies we will meet a couple of good Slytherins (not saying who or when so nobody can yell spoilers).

[@alexandrerodrigues5104]

​@@halcromwell9030 chill, the person stated not every slitherin is bad.

[@chris...9497]

The Houses are differentiated and identified by the core values each House holds most dear. It's the values natural to each student's character that the Sorting Hat reads from them and forms the basis for House placement. Some students have values that make them qualified for placement in more than one House, which can stump the Sorting Hat, but even difficult reads settle out to one placement. Many have questioned whether Hermione should have been placed in Ravenclaw, because that House values intelligence, creativity, and wit. But think back to the previous (first) film; Hermione tells Harry, who is about to leave the chess area to go onward, "Books and cleverness. There are more important things: friendship and bravery." Gryffindor values bravery, loyalty, and chivalry; that's why she was placed there, because her values match Gryffindor the most.

[@TabbyQ.9563]

Honestly, my house, Ravenclaw, has its fair share of baddies; Quirrell, Lockhart, villain from 4th book/movie.

[@michellearamis]

Isn't it amazing how the two young actors who play Crabbe and Goyle went from playing their small and mostly non-speaking parts to playing the main character roles so perfectly?

[@Rainbow.Pegacorn.Cosplay]

I'm not gonna lie....when I first saw the basilisk in this movie, I had the same reaction Ron had with Aragog. (I'm by *NO* means fearful of snakes, for transparency). Also, every time I hear Hermione say "She's a little sensitive" to describe Moaning Myrtle, I always have the same first thought: A *LITTLE* sensitive?"

[@ellaphx]

Oooh you're cluey!! So much fun watching you figure things out even when they're not explicitly stated, like that the Weasleys can't afford a new wand, or that Harry picked up some of Voldemort's powers. Very good!

You're right that Voldemort's body was destroyed the night Harry got the scar. There's a lot of interesting lore coming up in the rest of the movies to answer the rest of your questions about it!

[@juancarlosraygoza4923]

It’s not mentioned in any of the movies but in the books when Hermione found out about House Elves she was outraged that wizards had enslaved a magical creature as domestic laborers. She even found out that Hogwarts used House Elves to work the kitchen and make all the extravagant feasts possible. She tried to form a student group to demand rights for the Hogwarts elves but even her own friends thought she was crazy😢.

[@thatguywithanumbrella]

This is the most disappointing and unfulfilled plot in the books. Sigh. I wish it could have been explored in a non pro slavery way. But Jk's excuses are so similar to how slavery used to be defended back in the day. I don't think she is progressive enough to solve a systemic issue like that in her series.

[@lexiburrows8127]

99.99% of the Elves thought she was crazy too. You cannot put Human ideology onto beings which are not Human, it makes no sense that way. You might just as well try to make a fish wear a top-hat and walk to the office!

[@stephaniem6482]

@@thatguywithanumbrella they're based on mythological "Brownies" or "Broonies" which are spirits or hobgoblins that do chores in the middle of the night and are easily insulted (especially when gifted clothes). Rowling was playing around with that myth in the story by applying a modern lens to it. Just like in real life, lots of campaigns go unfulfilled and sometimes looked down upon by the people involved. It's more accurate to real life, imo.

[@orphanedhanyou]

There are first world people fighting to give the people in Nike shoe sweat shoes more money. Except they are already making more money than anyone else in their area. You cannot dump money only onto certain people in a third world town & them suddenly be more wealthy than the leader or king. Surprise they will just be targeted and robbed and the entire economy will be disrupted. "The working conditions are horrible" most of the people ACTUALLY WORKING THERE say is the best safest job they ever had & basically say "first world hypocritical liberals STAY OUT of our business and stop trying to "help" us by taking away the best jobs and pay we ever had because YOU think it's "unacceptable" seeing my life on your smart phone screen"

I love that you say it's your favorite! I feel like it's generally one of the least favored. It's not my favorite but I do really enjoy it and don't mind the length. My child self liked how close it tried to follow the books.

[@learobinson4450]

Despite what most people say house elves are not a portrayal of slavery. Slavery by its very definition is forced labor and house elves WANT to serve. Yes, Dobby is an outlier but he wants to serve he just doesn’t want to serve the Malfoys because they are cruel to him. House Elves are based on Brownies, which according to folklore, come out at night to do household chores. They’re usually depicted as smaller than humans & dressed in rags or they are unclothed. They usually attach themselves to one house but will leave if they are offended & they are easily offended. One way to offend a Brownie is to give them clothes since doing so implies their rags or state of undress is unacceptable. So if you give clothes to a Brownie they will leave the home they (willingly) served. The most well known fairy tale involving Brownies is the Shoemaker and the Elves. Rowling used many creatures from legend, myth & folklore in the story of Harry Potter. People recognize unicorns, dragons, Phoenixes, centaurs, etc so I don’t understand why they don’t recognize that house elves are Brownies - not a depiction of slavery.

Congrats on getting through the first two movies! I just wanted to point something out that the movies don't do the best job of getting across - within the discarding world there are certain families that are considered the oldest and purest magical blood lines. Some wizards (like Lucius Malfoy) consider niggles to be a lesser species, and do not approve of interfering. The Malfoy blood line is part of the "sacred 28" but so are the Weasleys, but because they approve of niggles and interfering they are looked down on by families like the Malfoys.

[@apatternedhorizon]

They consider what to be a lesser species?..

[@Makkaru112]

@@apatternedhorizon I think the gal meant Muggles lol

[@Henry_Red]

It's been a long time since I read The Chamber of Secrets, so I might be mistaken. But I think the reason Dobby wanted to prevent Harry from going to school was simply because he had been told by Julius what would happen to Harry; that is, that he would be the target of Tom Riddle.

[@Rainbow.Pegacorn.Cosplay]

Did you mean Lucius?

[@UlricGrim]

Ginny became “friends” with Tom Riddle because she wrote in the diary talking to him everyday. Unknowingly to her, Tom was only being kind to her in order to manipulate and persuade her to open the chamber of secrets so he could finish what Slytherin started so long ago, the eradication of Muggle born students. As Ginny became more comfortable with Tom, she confided in him everything about herself and her life. She mentioned Harry Potter to Tom, obviously telling him what a huge crush she had on him. She told Tom that he was the one who defied Lord Voldemort when he was a baby. Tom to himself was like wait a minute, I’m Lord Voldemort, so you’re telling me I was defeated by a little infant? From then on, Tom’s new target was this boy named Harry Potter. His ambition was to then kill this Harry Potter kid by luring him to the chamber and setting the basilisk on him. Dobby only wanted to go warn Harry that the chamber was going to be opened, not necessarily because Tom was going to try and kill him.

[@jennysutton7409]

The line that ron father says about the use of a Rubber duck was all the actor coming up with lines, he actually did so with a few objects but that was the one they chose cause it made them all laugh the most also the banter at the end of the movie between Lucious and Harry where he said let's hope Harry will always be there to save the day and Harry was like don't worry i will be that was also both actors coming up with lines on the spot. When Harry was pretending to be Goyal and had his glasses on the line from Draco 'i didn't know you could read' was the actor's doing cause it wasn't in the script even though it is a line from the book it's self. When ron and Hermione go to hug each other but just shake hands instead is also something that happened because of the actors...for some reason the actor of Ron and Emma Watson felt strange hugging each other at that moment so they shook hands instead and the director liked it so they kept it in the movie to show the tension between Ron and Hermione as well. When Lucious kicks Dobby that also was the actor and he had the crew confused why he was kicking the air but then he explianed what he was doing and they liked it so much they kept it in the movie Also when Ron started to throw up slugs that was real too and the actor of Ron loved that moment saying they taste like chicken as a joke. You should go to Universal and see both Harry Potter parts of the park cause it's amazing and looks exactly like the movies do. I saw an exibit this year in New York that was interactive so you get to choose your house and wand and you get to do things like a spell or a potion and if done right you get points for your chosen house I chose hufflepuff because it is the house that I thinksuits me the most even though my favorite color is red haha. The exibit also had costumes and prps from the movies themselves including the Chamber of asecrets door,the message that spells from Tom Riddle to I am Voldamort and the diary and snake's fang as well. It explians the reasons behind the designs of the i=props and the costumes and that at times even the actors got to give their opinion on how the character should dress. Glad you are liking the movies so far and nice reaction, but be warned they get darker and more intense as time goes on

[@USAFACAP]

Your plan to use what's his face as bait was great :p

[@orphanedhanyou]

The Weasleys already had so many kids plus it was probably safer for Harry in the Muggle world, as you by now have found out watching all the films.

[@weirderthanyou1]

The Hogwarts house that they students are placed in are not based on personality. They are based on what they value. For example, when Dumbledore said "it is not are abilities that show what we truly are, it is our choices." What Dumbledore is saying is that even though he has the qualities that Voldemort and Salazar Slytherin value, such as ambition, cunningness and resourcefulness (Dumbledore mentioned others as well), Harry chose to be in Gryffindor because he valued what Godric Gryffindor valued. Which is bravery, honestly and loyalty.

[@dobby1327]

I’ve been waiting for this upload! Time to eat dinner and enjoy the video 😊

[@michaeladundon]

I couldn't help but laugh when you said you didn't expect a Harry Potter film to be that violent, oh you haven't seen anything yet. Obviously no spoilers but each film gets darker and darker. The reason Voldemort couldn't kill Harry was badly explained by Dumbledore in the first film. Basically his mother's love put a protection on him. By sacrificing herself she unknowingly used an ancient type of magic that placed an instant protection over Harry so when Voldemort used the killing curse on him it rebounded and hit him instead. You find out later in the movies why that didn't kill Voldemort. Dobby is the sweetest little thing. He saved Harry because he knew he was a kind wizard and he heard Lucious talking about his plans with the diary. I hated Lucious from the start but I've never wanted to punch a fictional character as much as him when he kicked Dobby!

[@Makkaru112]

(Answering Some Of Your Questions) - Ron’s fear of spiders come from when his twin brothers turned his teddy bear into a large spider when he was younger and traumatized him…. All because Ron accidentally broke a toy broomstick… Dumbledore hired Gilderoy as a prank upon hogwarts but also he knew that the essence of the students & how hogwarts history of hijynx as a whole; Gilderoy wouldn’t last and his facade would break so he expose gilderoy and pranked the school at the same time ! Dumbledore is ahead of the game it seems doesn’t it? One more thing he was the o oh one applying for the job anyway but my bets and research on the fact he was clever enough to have many reasons to hire Lockheart! Or is it Lochhart? Lol. Curious to hear your thoughts!

[@learobinson4450]

Dumbledore hired Lockhart because Lockhart was the only person who applied for the job. That’s it. He was the only applicant. Hagrid says so in the book. It’s fan theory nonsense about it being a prank or that Dumbledore hired him to teach students about how arrogance & narcissism lead to one’s downfall. Lockhart was hired because he was the only person to apply for the job. Just that. No other reason.

[@kittipooki]

So you got me curious because I had never questioned Dobby before but yeah, I'm sure Harry wasn't the first person that Dobby knew Lucius would harm. A quick google search reveals that he did admire the fact that Harry as a baby "defeated" Voldemort, because him being gone made the wizarding world a better place for house elves and others. But like... It doesnt look like house elves have it great now either 😢

[@thatguywithanumbrella]

SPOILERS! Well as long as they as a whole are still slaves then yeah, of course they aren't happy. Man, I really want to see a series set in the future that isn't the cursed child. Imperfect worlds are perfect for building stories. Just imagine a story going off Hermione's anti slavery plot and carry it into a full story. Maybe the one who wants to free them is a villain at first until the heroes realize they were right the whole time? But even Hermione decided to maintain the status quo for some reason even though she's a part of the ministry now. I don't know if I like that, I want to see more progressive stories set in the future of the wizarding world. Instead we keep going to the past where it was even less welcoming than the present, or we keep reliving the present. I'm afraid the author is to bigoted to explore progression and the future. Sigh. FREE THE HOUSE ELVES JK!

[@Kai81194]

Okay but in defense of the muffin boys, they are literally 12 in this movie 😂 Also, the way Dracos dad tries to use the killing spell on Harry in the middle of the school corridor 😭

[@majbrat]

Remember in the last movie, Dumbledor told Harry his mother's sacrifice saved him and literally gave him protection in his very skin against Voldemort & his evil. It will have been part of what destroyed Voldemorts physical body, and in the act of killing Harry's mother and the protection she provided, Voldemort accidentally lost some of his powers to Harry. They do not really cover it in the movies but the reason Harry must live with the Dursleys when not at school is because his mother's sacrifice cast a protective spell around Harry and her family, so Voldemort and followers cannot enter, nor harm him there; possibly might not even be able to locate him with spells either. After V was gone, the dark cloud that whole world was living under for years disappeared, and everything was better. Dobby lived through the bad times in the household of a voldemort supporter, so we can assume he saw and was around terrible things. Knowing Harry might be in danger, he felt he needed to keep him safe; Harry might be needed to save everyone again if Voldemort comes back.

It's really not a seasonal movie because the entire series goes through an entire school year. The last book however, was split into two movies. So yeah, but each of these movies is an entire school year and it starts the following summer and ends at the start of the next summer and it just goes on like that. Usually the movies start on Harry's birthday which is July 31st and it ends when they go back on summer break which is in June

[@littledewdroplets]

Can't remember how they hint or explain it in the movie, but basically the reason Dobby is so adamant about helping Harry is that while Voldemort was doing his little reign of terror, House Elves were treated even more horrible than in the movie's time. He is still treated like shit, but he implies that for other Elves things got a bit better thanks to Voldemort disappearing...

[@chaddon7685]

"Harry's a little more competent than Ron." And it's so sad that the movies make that the case. I watched the movies before I read (listened to) the books. The movies really kind of robbed Ron of several of his great moments and demonstrations of competence. They changed some lines to make him meaner and gave some to Hermione entirely.

[@mariacavanaugh1010]

There is a lot of House Elf backstory left out of the movies (mostly due to time constraints), but basically House Elves are slaves and cannot perform their full magic without consent. For example, at Hogwarts there is a large number of them serving in the kitchens; food is prepared and magically appears on the tables in the great room, the food is not just conjured out of nowhere. Hermione spends a lot of energy trying to bring their plight to her classmates' attention in the hopes of setting them free... Dobby can only perform his full magic once he is no longer under Malfoy's control. (BTW: Malfoy translates from French as "bad faith.")

[@Makkaru112]

Meanwhile the hogwarts ones don’t like being paid even when Dumbledore offers them loads of Gallions and vacations they refuse him. It’s in the books. And her endeavours don’t succeed due to her virtue signalling about matters she didn’t much understand. Also many wanted to be there. And their wild counterparts are very different and may not accept them into the fold too easily. Very similar to goblins and their relation to wizards and their good relationship with Godric and Albus equally.

In Harry Potter and the deathly hallows part one you see Dobby I not gonna say something happened

[@Makkaru112]

I’ll let you know that Salazar wasn’t as simple as some may think. The histories go far back to when people were being murdered & other crazy things between muggles & the wizard kind (Witch Hunts and Trials of both male and female. And often all it took was for you to look like someone in their own mind who’d threaten their rule which often wasn’t legitimate to begin with would just target you and or flat out end you). He was actually desiring to create this place to not just be a place of learning & curating knowledge but also a fortress against intruders! It’s a longer history that goes into several articles & channels showing this. This was to protect the children and all of wizard kind. SOME of the halfbloods long ago were used as pawns and essentially moles into the wizarding communities. Even back than sure not all hit it’s the ROOT of the judgment upon halfbloods & Muggleborns. Those like Lucius are practicing a tradition that was once noble that had stronger roots & traditions. It’s so far from that now that most families have fallen into mania. But not his wife. His wife is very cool & is only protecting Malfoy and teach him the ways of that realm and how to act and behave etc etc. He’s more like his mother & loves his mother! she grew up in the Black family tree & her original tree was related to Ravenclaws and had to change their name to something else to keep the line alive. Also. The basilisk was for that reason alone. To defend against intruders & infiltration; perhaps even to weed out LEGIT moles who were bringing danger to wizardkind. Salazar also was the only one to match Rowena Ravenclaw’s mind and originally they were to be betrothed. But ended up with Godric! ❤️

[@marcosrodrigues2499]

This isn't a spoiler, so I think it's safe to tell you: when you say that Voldemort transfered some of his powers to Harry and he may want it back...that's not how that works. Harry has some of Voldemort's powers or abilities, we could say, but Voldemort hasn't lost his. He had his body destroyed alright when he attacked Harry, so he exists in a bodyless form, less than a ghost as the books discribes it, unable to fully use his powers, but he still got it.

The Big Question, Michelle: Did you watch the after-credits scene? This film is the only one of the franchise that had an after-credits scene, but few look for it.

[@jessicat2002]

dumbledore always knows 😂 he is the most powerful wizard of this time and one of the most powerful wizards period they show his Power more in the book but voldemort was very much scared of dumbledore he would never admit it but on a one on one not many could even think to beat dumbledore to be honest I don’t think anyone was as powerful as dumbledore period

[@Makkaru112]

I can show you a Quorra article that explains what if Dumbledore went bad etc but proved why he WOULDNT and how he’d implement things differently and not work through instilling fear etc. it explained via the books just HOW advanced and supernatural Tom was. He was a prodigy in many ways and due to his being born from a birth under the influence of a love potion and other events in his life lead him to become super proficient in so many things. Not to mention achieve making several horcruxes when one hasn’t even been made in over 1000 years etc.

[@jessicat2002]

@@Makkaru112 I don’t need to see the article I do realize that Voldemort was extremely powerful, however, doesn’t matter what an article says what matters is what the author of the book wrote in the book Dumbledore is more powerful period

​@@Makkaru112Let her watch the movies before spoiling the entire plot of the series.

[@Makkaru112]

@@jessicat2002 it was literally answered by an expert of the books and was beautifully written. It gave proper respect to both of them! It wasn’t as simple as one being better than the other point blank. I’ll send the link sometime soon because it was showing so much about Tom even several commenters miss out on. The fellow was a fricken prodigy ! Fascinating character.

[@Makkaru112]

@@ImaBlack1969 I don’t recall sending a comment directly under the reactors video. Many channels know better than to look at comment threads and or just leave it at the original comments themselves. And nothing I said was spoilers because it’s hardly in the movies at all. Next to zero. In fact they gutted most of the book. Half blood Prince especially and you know which parts I mean. And the entire fandom has a gripe with it taking up the entire 80 percent of the film but hey I love all of them as much as anyone else does. And if I’m somehow spoiling it by saying things that aren’t in the movies and referencing a very cool and fun post on Quorra then ask one of the mods for her channel to delete my reply to this person’s comment. I’m here to express myself in a way that’s not even meant to be rude or whatever. God forbid I’m even allowed to speak at all in my entire life. Just let me be. Kindly. My regards. Cheers. May you, your family and friends have a blessed life full of joys and miracles. ❤️

YAY!!!

[@TheFireMonkey]

in many ways, this series uses the bigotry by the "Purebloods" against those wizards they think are lesser as a way to represent racism. The series tries to address a lot of social issues this way.

[@Makkaru112]

It’s more complex than that. Look for my Salazar comment coming in a few minutes.

[@TheFireMonkey]

@@Makkaru112 Yes, it is more complex, but sometimes a simple answer, while incomplete, is all that is needed. The series addresses many social issues and sometimes a tool used to address one issue at one point will be used to address another at some other point. Like most things, you can look at it in a fairly superficial way and gain something worthwhile, or dig deeper and find more complex ideas or go even deeper. Generally, in a comment on a video, I try to keep what I say simple and direct [I don't always succeed since my inclination is to do deep dives, but those don't fit in a comment] The truth is, if you wanted to, you could likely write a doctoral thesis on the messaging within the Harry Potter series - certainly the books, but even just the movies. However, for most people, that's a lot more than they want out of a movie. Pointing out the simple messages gives some all they want and for others, it points them in the direction to discover more [and of course, some would rather not find messages about anything and just want a fun escape from day to day life - and that too is fair]

[@TheFireMonkey]

They aren't allowed to cast spells - using magical items is ok.

[@Sandeep-ry2qq]

Remember bro , as the series progresses it gets darker and darker and darker and rated pg 13

Did anyone else get annoyed when she missed lich every ginny scene at the start ( no hate love the vid i just thought it was funny )

[@rickyhart4715]

I'm sorry, but you are just so lovely that you have to be a Hufflepuff.🤷‍♂️🤣💖

[@ryanroff3976]

Might just be me but at some point her speech doesn't sync with the video.

[@Muck006]

Reacting with "violent thoughts" to EVERY situation? You might not do it yourself, but you have the "automatic mindset". Maybe work on that a bit?

[@kristianberg4264]

I realize female reactors think smiling & giggling their way through reactions is cute, but it’s actually not. We want people to react normally, as you would without a camera and certainly not giggle when saying a scene is about child abuse.😮😊

[@marialouise3333]

bruh
