More magical Shenanigans in *HARRY POTTER and the CHAMBER OF SECRETS*

Yep. Jason Isaacs actually improvised there. Was supposed to cast a spell and the only one he could think of was the big boy. Way to embody the character.

Harry got Dudley's 2nd bedroom after the Dursley's realized from the address on the Hogwart's acceptance letter showed him in the cupboard under the stairs.

[@grahamgresty8383]

Harry has to return to the Dursley's as there is a blood spell of protection on the household which also protects the Dursley's. Ordinary wands cannot repair other wands but don't worry, Arthur Weasley wins some money and buys Ron a wand more suitable than the borrowed wand he was using up to this point. Nevil is also using a borrowed wand & doesn't get a new wand until the end of the 5th film but not shown in the series. Voldemort and Harry are distantly related via a family called the Pevrils. The Weasley children are: Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron & Ginny. The wizard gene is recessive: it can emerge from families with no known magical relatives and 'disappear' from all wizarding families forming 'squibs' (eg Argos Filch)

[@harrison4473]

8:43 In the books Ron's Dad actually does throw the first Punch and gets into a Fist fight with Malfoy's Dad, Hagrid had to come in and break up the fight.

[@harrison4473]

13:32 It's assumed that a Teacher from the school went to Hermione's family personally to tell them that Hermione is a Witch and that she was accepted to Hogwarts. Most likely being McGonagall or Dumbledore

[@harrison4473]

29:26 Ron's worst fear are Spiders. When Ron was around 6 or 7 his older twin brothers Fred and George transfigured Ron's favorite teddy bear into a Spider. Ever since then he has been afraid of Spiders

[@p.gin3955]

Fun fact, Tom Felton (actor playing Draco) improvised his line here 24:22 because he forgot the script, Harry's line here 40:40 was also improvised

[@harrison4473]

Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) only Improvised that scene because Lucius Malfoy's actor Improvised "Let us hope that Mr. Potter will always be around to save the day." Then Dan immediately responded with "Don't worry, I will be." Lucius' actor said that he was extremely proud of Dan's acting ability

Ron Weasley is actually the 6th out of 7 Weasley children. Bill Weasley is the first born. He graduated from Hogwarts and works in Egypt as a tomb curse breaker for Gringots Bank. Charlie Weasley also graduated from Hogwarts and works in Romania at a dragon preserve. Percy Weasley is a prefect student at Hogwarts. Fred and George Weasley are the mischievous twins. Ron Weasley is the 6th and last male born in the family. He unfortunately gets all the hand-me-downs in the family, including his wand and even his rat, Scabbers. Ginny Weasley is the last born and the only girl and at this point, is only 11 years old. 👨🏻‍🦰👨🏻‍🦰👨🏻‍🦰👨🏻‍🦰👨🏻‍🦰🧑🏻‍🦰👩🏻‍🦰🪄

[@oq1106]

There is also a bit of canon going on that, since 7 is a 'magic number', the 7th child is often particularly gifted. And the books do have little bits confirming that she's above the curve. I know with everything going on people use every opportunity to shit on Rowlings writing choices (and often thats completely fair), but the Weasleys aren't "stereotypical hicks with too many kids", they are repeatedly shown to represent the best of wizard culture; they are the hidden gold standard for 'purebloods' and backbone of society. They were not written as an insult, but as the MVPs only dipshits don't respect and value.

Definitely happy to see you watch the Harry Potter films and can't wait to see what other stuff you watch in the future. Love the style, your humor and you are pretty perceptive and you tend to guess a lot of things right. Thanks again for the content. 🤙

[@Carpathianpixie]

Wand making is very hard so even if there were a spell to repair Ron's wand, none of the kids would be able to do it as it would require very advanced magic. Once a wand is broken, there's nothing left to do but replace it.

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

I'm not gonna lie....when I first saw the basilisk in this movie, I had the same reaction Ron had with Aragog. (side note: I am NOT fearful of snakes or spiders). 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?" Side note: I always have the thought of "Harry's lucky Fawkes clawed out the Basilisk's eyes, otherwise that rock trick in the tunnel wouldn't have worked at all", combined with "Don't you dare sneeze, Harry"

[@sam_imp2743]

Voldemort isn’t muggleborn. He is a halfblood. Muggle dad, witch mum. Harry’s dad is a pure blood and mum is a muggleborn: Harry is a halfblood Muggleborns can be born without any magic previously in the family and the same can happen in reverse. A squib is born to magic parents. Filch is a squib - this isn’t something overly explored in the films, but explains why Filch is so nasty to the kids - he’s jealous

[@cozenw3236]

The line from Malfoy, “I didn’t know you could read” was improved because he forgot his line. But it fit so well they kept it.

[@DumbGenius123]

26:18 is a literal depiction of all the kids reading the books for the first time

[@sam_imp2743]

Don’t forget, Hagrid was expelled because he was framed by Riddle. He could not then perform magic at all (although, there’s something a little suspicious over that pink umbrella!). Dumbledore knew Hagrid was innocent all along but couldn’t prove it (Dumbledore trusts people - keep that in mind!) and so gave Hagrid the job as gamekeeper. But now, the diary proves it was Voldemort and Hagrid can now do magic for the first time in 50 years (not counting the ☂️)

[@Arabong168]

Hagrid can do magic but isn't allowed, as he told Harry after giving Dudley a pig's tail. ( strictly speaking Harry, I'm not allowed to do magic, keep it to yourself).

[@MrIcelander]

8:25 Think of it like a recessive gene - my dad is ginger but neither of his parents is.

[@Fraise-wg4fd]

About the stairs, it’s definitely more than just the one staircase! They’ve all kind of been infused by all the magic going on at Hogwarts and become a bit cheeky, they just don’t all do it the same way (some of them have a step that disappears every third week of the month, others might lead to a different place once in a while, etc). Also, it’s not just the stairs - there a doors pretending to be walls and vice versa. For example, to enter the kitchens, one must tickle a pear on a painting of fruit, and the pear giggles, spins, and becomes a handle you can then turn to open the door. Hope that’s clear!!

I always get a bit teary eyed when, at the end, Harry says "It's not Hogwarts without you, Hagrid." Especially knowing that Robbie Coltrane died pretty recently - also, hope you will react to the 20th Anniversary show for HP after you get done with the movies - it's an amazing experience with all of the cast interviews and stuff! Lovin that you're seeing it all weaving together. You're right, there is something to be said for watching or reading the series as an adult because you can pick up on things that you wouldn't have as a kid. This was one of my favorite series as a teen and young adult. I read the books when they first came out and then saw the movies as well - my sister and I had a ritual that we would go to see the midnight showing of each movie when it hit theaters, was amazing!

Yes, Harry has money and could spot the Weasleys some money but they're too proud to take it. However, Harry finds ways to help without harming their honor.

[@nebulousreactions]

You might get a little hate for your strong reaction to Dobby, but I thought it was funny :D I read the books prior to watching these, so I was predisposed to liking him, but I can concede that his introduction could be seen as annoying. I won't say anything about what happens with him later because I HATE spoilers in my own comment section, but I will say you get a lot more of him in the books than the movies, so you get more time to understand and become endeared to him. And even in this film, his only concern was trying to save Harry. His heart was in the right place. . . he's just not much of a thinker, and he's a slave bound by magic, so he's literally unable to say or do much, but he still tried to save Harry. Just wanted to give you a little more context for the character. Greatly enjoyed the reaction!

The Weasleys have 7 children Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron and Ginny.

[@dawnmarieallenkent2495]

You may start noticing 7 and 13 are prominent in all the movies... There are 7 Weasley kids... Bill Charley Percy Fred & George Ginny Not mentioned in the movies, Molly (mom) wanted a daughter because in her bloodline because the females carry more potent magical abilities than the males. And Dumbledore will look more familiar in the next one as Richard Harris passed between movies. So in the Wizarding world, first Muggles WAYYYYY out number Wizards and Witches, and keep their world and themselves shielded from Muggles, there are enchantments hiding them. Now we'll get to the lineage... Purebloods: both parents are Wizards- Ron and Draco. Half-blood: One Wizard parent and one Muggle born, like Harry and Seamus (our favorite pyrotechnic prone kid.) Muggle Born: No Wizarding Parents like Hermione. Squibs: Born to Wizarding parents, without magical abilities.

[@freshparchment]

Another point regarding Voldemort's pure-blood views: as the movie Blazing Saddles points out, racism (or supremacist views) is not only wrong, but usually pretty stupid, too. That shortsightedness tends to lead to, shall we say, flaws in logic.

[@leamgodfrey7445]

The fact that the wand can’t be fixed is a huge plot point for later on which sadly I don’t think the final film(s) got right. The wand is damaged beyond magical repair. He doesn’t contact home to ask for a new one because he knew how much trouble he was already in over taking the car.

[@flugsven]

About how many witches and wizards there are; I might be wrong, but I believe Hogwarts students are the only young witches and wizards in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Home schooling was allowed, but I don't think it was common. No you can't repair a broken wand. You need to get a new one. Even magic has it's limits. Another limit is you can't conjure food out of thin air. That would have come in handy... Thank you for a great reaction!

[@Fraise-wg4fd]

It’s not entirely impossible to repair a broken wand, it’s just insanely difficult, you’d need to have an extremely powerful spell ***spoilers below*** This is proven by the fact that Harry successfully repairs his wand in the last book using the Elder Wand (I believe it’s the only spell he casts with it), but that’s the most powerful wand ever so yeah, it’s not common

[@flugsven]

@@Fraise-wg4fd I don't think it could be done with any other wand, though.

[@KhrlIRD45]

Some pure-blood wizards hate Muggles because they are called MudBlooks or Magic-stealing Bloods, this is Voldemort's goal of making the wizarding world pure again without Muggles. And secondly, why do they hate Muggles? In the Middle Ages in Europe, many wizards or those suspected of being wizards were burned and killed, which is what made them hate Based on original history in real world Harry is not a MudBlood he is a Half-Blood, because his father was a pure-blood wizard

[@LaurinGarcia]

You're getting wizarding terminology confused. Don't feel bad. It is confusing for those who haven't read the books. The movies don't explain them well enough. Muggle; a regular person who was born with no magical abilities. Muggleborn; a wizard or witch who was born with magical abilities but whose parents are muggles. Mudblood; a cruel, derogatory term used to describe a muggleborn. A way to refer a muggleborn as wizards of dirty blood. Halfblood; a witch or wizard born from parents where one of the parents is a witch or wizard and the other parent is a muggle. Pureblood; a witch or wizard who was born from a full wizarding family. Both parents are wizards. To be considered a true pureblood, you would have to come from several generations of wizards. Squib; a person born with no magical abilities but whose parents are wizards. In the book version of Chamber of Secrets, the trio found out that Filtch is a Squib. He comes from a wizarding family but has no magical abilities.

[@sigriddaaemland8486]

Great explanations. And later in the series, "Blood traiter" is another derogatory term used to describe pureblood wizarding families who don't buy into, and often even oppose the whole pureblood ideology project. The Weasleys are notoriously dubbed as blood traitors by Voldemort-symphathetic wizards, like the Malfoys. And all of the big pureblood families had their "traitors" who ended up marrying a muggleborn, or a muggle, or not agreeing with their family, as it often ended with a lot of inbreeding over generations, etc. Voldemort was a half-blood, not a muggleborn; his mother was from a previously highly respected wizarding family, that had lost it's wealth because of pureblood hysteria, and the repeated practice of marrying their cousins "to keep their sacred bloodline clean". It was from his mothers side that Voldemort was directly related to Salazar Slytherin. Most information about Voldemort's past was removed from the movies. Funnily enough, Harry was also considered a halfblood, as his father was from a long wizarding family line with strong "blood traitor" vibes, the Potters, and his mother was a muggleborn witch, much to Petunias resentment. But I always found it strange that you were considered halfblood even though both of your parents were magical. Voldemort: pureblood witch mom and muggle father? = halfblood. Harry: muggleborn witch mother and pureblood wizard father? = halfblood. Really tells you how strongly the prejudice against muggleborns goes. Like, these wizards are obsessed with ancestry!

I'm so excited to see your reactions to the other movies, the first 2 movies are the worst ones in my opinion, not only are the plots better in the later movies, but also the directing and acting. Plus there's a bit of a darker tone to the movies which really sets them apart and doesn't make you feel like you're watching a "children's" film.

[@harrison4473]

Arguably the first 2 movies are the BEST. The color in everything is so vibrant and magical. They have a good blend of Dark themes with a light tone. They are also the 2 that are the closest to the books. Plus they have the BEST Dumbledore.

[@p.gin3955]

@@harrison4473 Interesting, I very much prefer Michael Gambon as Dumbledore, also regarding the colour, I agree that its good that the first movie is warmer and vibrant in colour, because that movie is an introduction to the wizarding world and all of its magic. And even though they are closest to the books plot wise i really cant rank them higher than any other movie simply for the fact the acting is the worst.

[@LaurinGarcia]

The thing about the Harry Potter books is that it's actually a coming of age story and the author, JK Rowling originally wrote the series for adults. It was the book publishers that decided to advertise it as children's books. If you read between the lines of the story you will see it is a satire. First, one has to understand that you the reader are looking at the story through Harry Potter's point of view as he grows up throughout the years at Hogwarts. In the first book and movie Harry is 11 years old so you see his world from his 11 year old mindset and maturity. But as he grows up and begins to understand things more and more the story gets darker and less innocent as he matures with age. The reason I call the books a satire is that many of the stories deals with racism of a different kind and political corruption. Dobby might be a house elf but nevertheless he is a slave just the same. There might not be any racism in the wizarding world against people of color but there is racism against wizards who do not come from pure magical families. Harry doesn't see the horrible similarities between the wizarding world and the muggle world at this point because he is only 12 years old during The Chamber of Secrets. To a certain extent, he is still an innocent little boy and is not mature enough to comprehend it all to the fullest extent. 🏰🧙‍♂️🧙🏻‍♀️🧒🪄⚡️📚📽🎞🖤
