IT'S SO GOOD! - **HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS** First Time Reaction

[@sortastupid]

We know we've had some big moments missing from some of these edits. Unfortunately copyright has been a bit more intense then normal this past month and a half so our editor was a bit too aggressive. That being said we've communicated some of the major scenes missing y'all have communicated to us in the comments and our editor will be making sure those missing scenes get added to the full Harry Potter binge video once we wrap up all 8 movies and upload that binge. He also will be making a point to double check big moments for future uploads to avoid these missing moments in the future. If there's something big missing feel free to put it here so we can make sure we don't miss anything too important when we add some scenes back to the binge video in the coming weeks. Thank you for understanding Billy!

Muggleborn students are visited by a professor and handed a letter. Like harry was shown around Diagon Alley by Hagrid Muggleborns are taken by an official of the school to acquire their supplies and informed of everything. The muggleborns parents are also taken to see the world if they wish when a professor visits and takes their child for their supplies. The parents would have been told how to reach the platform or if a professor will need to accompany the child instead.

Yeah and Hagrid is just Hagrid. He keeps forgetting to tell Harry of things that to him is obvious. Then again I don't know if hagrid would have fit through the wall to platform 9 3/4. He might actually not know how normal wizards get to the train. He probably just forgot though.

​@@coolwizard22 so everyone is born with trace amounts of magic inside of them. When it comes to Hogwarts students there is a magical book and a quill. When the quill detects a new child with magical ability it'll attempt to write their name in the book, but if the book doesn't think they have enough magical ability then it'll close itself before the name is written. Ilif they book and quill agree that the child has enough magic to be admitted into Hogwarts then the quill will write the name in the book and that child will be offered attendance at Hogwarts when they are 11.

@@coolwizard22All students get into Hogwarts by the Quill of Admittance and the Book of Acceptance. Any time a child within Hogwarts jurisdiction shows even the smallest amount of magic, the Quill will try and write their name down. But the Book won’t let it until it is absolutely certain that the kid is a wizard. It took years for Neville to be accepted. And I don’t remember if it was in the movie or not but Hagrid said that Harry’s name has been down for Hogwarts since he was born, showing that Harry is pretty powerful. Once Hermione showed magic, the Book and Quill put down her name.

This is never explained in the movies but a Squib is a child of a witch or wizard (or both) who can't use magic, so most of them end up living like regular muggles. However, they still have the magical genes in them and it's possible that a descendant of theirs can be born with magical abilities. This is likely the situation with Hermione, one of her ancestors might have been a Squib who married a muggle.

What I love the most about the whole series, both books and movies, are Fred and George’s friendship with Harry and I really wish people talked about it more as they do with Ron’s friendship with Harry. It’s a bit dialed down in the movies, but from the first book the twins were actually very kind to Harry and offered to help him with his trunk because he couldn’t lift them up on the compartments (before they even know that he was *the* Harry Potter and just saw this really scrawny kid on the train struggling with his heavy luggage) and they also treat him like he’s just another one of their brothers. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they were actually around Harry a lot more than they did in the movies, but they never stick around him for very long like Ron does (obviously because of the year difference and likely different class schedules too) and run off to their own group of friends- so they genuinely just talk to Harry if they see him and don’t hang out with him because he’s this famous kid that defeated the greatest evil of their era. Throughout the school year they kinda just treat him like any other normal kid and Harry seems to be always smiling around them because of their antics. Even during Harry’s first Quidditch match, the twins were the *only ones* who flew over to try and get Harry safely onto one of their brooms when everyone realized that his Nimbus 2000 was trying to kick him off, and when they couldn’t get close enough to pull him to safety they went below Harry’s broom ready to catch him if he actually fell off. The twins are honestly the best characters and I love that they’re like Harry’s big brothers 🥹❤

She wanted to go to hogwarts too but only lily showed powers so only she was brought there. They usually send a wizard with the letter in order to explain everything to the parents before helping the kids get required materials which is where Hermione would have gotten her information.

27:43 I once found a GIF of this on Twitter, but instead of saying "Expelliarmus," it read "Asparagus," and I have not been able to unhear Snape say that since 😂

[@embran8486]

In the movie they did Harry dirty. not able to pronounce Diagon Alley . In the books they didn´t warn him to move back when Ron did it and Harry inhaled all the soot. So Harry spluttered while trying to pronounce Diagon Alley.

[@patriciaalvareztostado8170]

Yeah, they made Harry too look more stupid, people think he is stupid, but if you read the books, he is not, of course he is not Hermione, but he is smart

[@megaboy767]

Ginny only was in the first movie when Ron went to 9 3/4, but she wasn't at Hogwarts.

[@Kuriboh48]

18:51 To be fair, with that sorting hat quiz, the questions are randomly chosen from a pool, so you never see all of them when you try it. So, depending on what questions you get, you could answer the questions the same every time, and get a different house. I think it's best to look up a list of all the questions and see what your answers in totality result in.

[@MattyBmemes]

Also what he did is more griffindoor coded so its in character

16:38 Sean yelling out "NERD" to Hermione while being the Hermione of the group (calling out random facts and wanting a deeper dive into muggle borns) was already funnny. But at 18:53 is just like Hermione being a hatstall, but going into Gryffindor over Ravenclaw

[@AzarathMetreon]

18:20 Taking a test without reading the questions and answers is the most unRavenclaw way to get Ravenclaw as your house that I’ve ever heard 😂 31:30 So that isn’t just Dumbledore’s room. That’s the Headmaster’s office. He almost definitely has a private quarters in the back somewhere but we never see it.

[@coltonmartin7191]

To answer your question regarding how Muggle born students find out how they are witches or wizards: a representative from the school comes and delivers the letter personally and explains everything to the parents and the child. The reason this didn’t happen with Harry is because Dumbledore was under the impression that Dursleys told Harry he was a wizard and therefore there was no explanation needed, he should have known and expected that a letter was coming. When no answer was received they sent Hagrid to figure out what happened.

[@chickenpanda1179]

Fun fact in the books Mr Weasley straight up starts throwing punches at lucius malfoy during the part in the book store

[@Buzzsawbrian1985]

In one of the behind the scenes videos when Lucius Malfoy kicks Dobby down the steps that was not in script. After saying his line he kicked mid-air and the director asked him what he was doing and he said I'm disciplining Dobby. He liked it so much that they did several takes of it just so that they can get it right.

[@pamelalejeune2424]

19:15 OK so I don’t know if any of you know, but Hermione’s parents are dentists and she missed out on the perfect insult to all of these Slytherin jerks. You walk up to them and hand them a car and say “here this is for my family’s dentistry. They’ll fix up your fucked up teeth, how’s that from mudbloods.” and then walk away.

[@silverthehero1295]

Not everyone in Slytherin is inherently a bad person. Bree may be interested to know that the wizard Merlin was in Slytherin, because he craved knowledge and power but used it for good.

[@roguedetal6072]

Fun fact. Spiders can't close their eyes and on top of that they have eight eyes. Therefore the basilisk is absolutely terrifying for them and they flee for it. They'd have almost no chance of survival.

[@2ndlegend125]

23:10 as far as im aware the explanation is that technology fucks up around wizards and witches. So theyre kinda forced to be Amish.

Ngl, I love the vibe of everyone with their uniform. So damn cute I’m jealous.

[@medafan53]

In the first book Harry is moved to Dudley's second bedroom (or rather a storeroom for his broken toys) after getting his first Hogwarts Lesson) because the Dursleys noticed that the letter was addressed to "the cupboard under the stairs" and were afraid that the wizards were watching them and would be angry about where Harry was sleeping. To make it clear, I believe that not only did they have 3 bedrooms, but also I believe a guest room.

[@dragonsvideos6737]

25:20 Bree’s reaction to Harry’s arm is so funny and understanding, that scene gave me chills up my spine.

[@IronGhost8280]

The reason spiders are so afraid of the Basilisk: Spiders have eight eyes, but no eyelids, so they’re especially vulnerable to its killing gaze.

[@TnT_F0X]

Fun Fact from the book... Mr Weasley had an ordinary muggle car, but he got it remodeled by Xzibwitch's hit TV show.

[@solrachernandez3389]

The movies never explained this but a Squibbed is someone who was born into a magical family but has no magical powers. a squibb is what the janitor Filch is

[@donrikk8546]

Idk if u guys noticed 52:07 when he went to cast a spell on Harry he was uttering avada to kill him with the killing curse avada kadavra! That man was about to straight up murder a child in the middle of hogwarts!

[@nastynas7]

To answer your question about why spiders are afraid is basically spiders can’t blink. And their vision is 360, they’re vulnerable if they face basilisk because all it has to is look into all their eyes. And the spiders will drop dead right away.

[@whitneyj9080]

Also, Harry's line, "Don't worry, I will be" to Malfoy was also improv

[@TheJanstyler]

My favourite line in this movie is probably the "I didn't know you could read." of Malfoy. Mainly because it's an incredibly well improvised line by Tom Felton, after he forgot his actual line.

[@SUPERSIDESWIPER]

28:24 fun fact, Lockhart only got the defence against the dark arts job by default. 50:26 you didn’t show when he showed who’s name was engraved on that Sword. But to answer your previous question, of why the sword appeared, the novel explained that the Sorting Hat, like the sword, was originally Godric Gryffindors. The hat is linked to the Sword.

[@robling1937]

"This man was a fan of Margaret Thatcher" BRO! Had me crying with this.

[@JeM130177]

Omg such an accurate statement 😂😂😂😂😂

[@stephanniemorin]

I mean, he's not wrong

[@DaveLemmens]

You all need somebody who knows the lore to watch these movies with you, because all the questions you have and ask are valid questions, but they're also all explained either in the books or in the extended lore. But cool reaction either way, can't wait for the rest of the movies.

[@TheJanstyler]

Man, Robby Coltrane was such a god damn Teddy Bear. Every scene he was in made the movies feel 10x more comfy.

[@ChrissaTodd]

Maybe the dursleys still are afraid if Harry leaves, that it's their fault they give him a bedroom, cause they thought they got caught keeping him under the stairs. So they are afraid of anyone finding out

[@Longshanks1690]

I love the videos when they get dressed up, it shows how into it they get - which is super cool since we’re only on movie 2. 😂

Ron is a red haired kid who’s scared of everything, but still goes along on his best friend’s adventures. He’s the Wizarding World’s Chuckie Finster.

Mandrakes are actual plants as well, the roots look like a little person, legend say the plant emits a shriek or groan as it’s uprooted which can kill you. You could either make a loud noise at the right moment or block your ears.

[@fornax5798]

32:25 Bree just quietly contemplating/regretting/analyzing her life choices up to this moment on the couch. 32:38 Boom cooming and 32:40 Bree's face are both meme worthy, if more people actually knew this channel existed.

[@NoraQueenBean]

man I am really happy you guys are doing this around Christmas. to be honest my family kinda sucks and are not good people and i have distanced myself from them over the last few years. but one good memory i have is that we would always watch all the harry potter movies around Christmas time and i loved it cause it was one of the few times we could be not dysfunctional for a little while and just be a family. so now living by myself in the city these last few years i tend to get really depressed when it comes to the holidays because i am just by myself and I haven't been able to bring myself to just watch them alone. so this is a great fill in to be able to kind of watch with people again. ya'll are my favorite youtubers hands down and i super appreciate what you do!! hope you dorks have a wonderful holiday!! and all the Billy elfs to!!

[@DragonMoth34]

Hello Nora! I'm sorry to hear about your family. The last few years have been rough for me too. As a kid, Thanksgiving and Christmas was the BEST time of the year. Both Holidays, the family would gather at my grandparent's house and the food would be GREAT. Well, my grandfather passed in 2013, and with all the grandkids grown up and having great grandkids, things are not the same. I've always been the black sheep of the family. First one to be picked on, and picked on the hardest. As an adult, I feel I get absolutely zero respect from most of my family. For several years I mostly just showed up to eat, say hi to my mom, and leave. Now, I pretty much avoid going. There's no reason to... All the good cooks married into the family, and now most have divorced out, so the food is trash and I get treated like trash, so I'll just stay home, thanks. I visit my Grandma every now and then, and I would be open to visiting any of the family individually, but put them all together and well... I'd rather be in prison. The holidays are now the worst time of the year for me. As soon as November rolls around, I can't wait until January. 10 months of not feeling obligated to go spend time with people who make me feel very unloved. Thank you for sharing your story... It helps to not feel so alone in this world.

[@Neodymium-de5nj]

Seeing you guys in the robes of your Hogwarts houses you were designated in from the last reaction genuinely makes me feel happy for some reason lmao

Hermione is Muggle born but she is a descendant of a magic family the house of dogworth - Granger from part of her dad because her dad is a squib the house of dogworth - Granger is recognized for there natural abilities for making potions

I love seeing others appreciate these movies. They were a big part of my childhood and these characters are like old friends/family even though they are fictional.

[@mikechicago6200]

Sad that this was Richard Harris last movie as Dumbledore, as he passed on before it came out, his son Jarred Harris is a great actor, and a real shame they didn't cast him in Fantastic Beast nor any consideration for the reboot series!

[@tylerjohnson1947]

Interesting facts 1 between the trio, Hermione is actually the oldest while Harry is the youngest 2 if you pay close attention to the movies or read the books you’ll actually find that there are some Gryffindors who aren’t good and there are some Slytherins who aren’t bad 3 In terms of wizarding classification, pure bloods are wizards with only wizarding ancestry (Ron), half bloods are wizards with muggle and wizarding ancestry (Harry), muggleborns are wizards with only muggle ancestry (Hermione). However the theory is that muggleborns are descendants of squibs (Filch) which a wizard born into a wizarding family but has no magical abilities. Squibs usually live in the muggle world and pair up with muggles passing the magical gene until it resurfaces with a muggleborn descendant. Half Breeds or Cross Breeds are wizards who are a mix between a human wizard and another magical being. Wizards and Muggles are human but are just classified differently

[@mimic1984]

[@The_Real_Mr_Al]

AKA it's a magical "tickle attack". Literally. The movies had a bad habit of making every other spell just be a random explosion or Jedi Force Push. Like shit, here I thought expelliarmus was all about SAFELY disarming someone, not Fus Ro Dah 🤔

[@ashhabimran239]

@@The_Real_Mr_Al I can understand why the laughing spell was changed, it would've looked awkward to have someone tickled to death on the big screen

I CANNOT wait for you guys to see the third one. It has the best mystery out of all three of them and the only one that doesn't center on Voldemort. Also if you thought this one was dark, oh boy lol

Someone edited Harry Potter where they swapped they’re wands into guns. It’s pretty funny, y’all check it out.

Fun fact: At the end of this movie, you could see that flashy professor in the newspaper because of his memory loss. I have read all the books and watched all the movies 3 times each, and I think the books are way better. The detail in there is mind-blowing compared to the movies. Great reactions like always 👏.
