There was a very sweet scene in the beginning that was deleted. When the Durselys were leaving Dudley shook Harry's hand. It didn't remotely make up for all the abuse over the years but it was touching nevertheless that after Harry saved his life from the Dementors Dudley finally accepted him as his brother.

[@Ray-lw2rh]

​​​​@@clamchowder622 it bothered me that Hedwig was in her cage when she got killed ... couldn't even defend herself.....Her death in the movie although hurtful was better because she could defend herself and Harry

[@clamchowder622]

@chrisantony6218 I never considered that, but Harry was dumb for not letting her fly with them. If you're flying somewhere, why bring your highly intelligent owl friend in a cage? Hedwig had proven herself as a true and loyal companion, and shouldn't have been trapped in a cage during that dangerous trip.

[@76JStucki]

The thing about Draco is this: he’s not “a good guy after all.” He’s not. He’s a jerk. But that doesn’t make him a killer. As Dumbledore says in the book, killing is not nearly so easy as the innocent believe.” He just wanted to look like a tough guy, he didn’t have it in him to straight up murder someone.

[@hildajensen6263]

Draco isn't a good guy, but he isn't really a bad one either (unlike his aunt). He was the spoiled elitist he was raised by his father to be, without thinking much about it. By the time he stated really thinking about right and wrong and who he wanted to be, he was already in too deep, and stepping out of line could cost the lives of his entire family. And no, he wasn't tough enough to stand up in spite of that. But few people are.

[@sorryimananti-romantic7513]

​@@hildajensen6263 i agree. i feel like he was very misunderstood and being raised into a family who wanted power and was destined to join the dark side, he had no other choice. looking back and watching the movies, it makes me feel like draco just wanted to be accepted and to have friends like harry did. he wanted to be himself and follow his own path but wasn't able to. and watching him grow though the movies, he saw what was happening is wrong, he wanted to leave and not be a part of it but didn't, like you said, he didn't want to cross the line and cost him and his entire family to be at stake with voldemort. in the scene where harry tries to grab draco's wand, you can see draco giving up and letting harry take his wand, in a way to let them escape and get somewhere safe. the little things like that, shows how much draco doesn't want to be evil and doesn't want to hurt anyone.

[@micheletrainor1601]

Actually there is sadly a deleted scene from the yard in hogwarts during the fight and when Harry cannot reach his wand Draco grabs it then throws it to Harry for him to kill voldermort . They should have left it in.

[@karenhall4645]

He kept trying to kill Dumbledore by other means. But there are those 2 scenes where we do see that Draco has a heart. When he sees Katie Bell and runs to the washroom he is crying. And after the dead bird is sent back in the Vanishing Cabinet, we see his horrified expression and can hear him crying. His father did mistreat him but his mother was extremely loving. I think that kept Draco from being a carbon copy of Lucius.

[@oxeye8891]

@@sorryimananti-romantic7513 yeah that's where the movie took liberties and portrayed him very differently than the original book version. Draco Malfoy is not a good person, and no he isn't pulled between his own path and what his family needed him to be. He's a Malfoy through and through. His beliefs are the same as the family's. The only reason he seems not on board with Voldy is because Lucius lost favor. If Lucius never screwed up with the diary and the ministry-prophecy debacle and remained in good standing, Draco would be crowing for muggleborns to be subjugated and lording over everyone else. But alas Lucius fucked up and as a major coward, Draco got scared. And even then he never let Harry take his wand, Harry just overpowered him.

Possibly the best paragraph in all the books: "And then with a little shudder the elf became quite still, and his eyes were nothing more than great glassy orbs, sprinkled with light from the stars they could not see." My then 16 year old daughter and I were each reading this book the night it came out (we picked ours up at midnight) - I was about 50 pages ahead of her. I knew she had reached this when she quietly closed the book, went to the washroom, and didn't come out for 30 minutes.

[@christy4075]

It's never explained in the movies, but a taboo charm was put on voldemort's name. It reveals the location of anyone saying it, and anyone speaking his name are obviously against him. That's how the deatheaters knew where they were in the coffee shop, and that's why they instantly appeared after xenophilius said it. Also I think in the books, in addition to obliviating her parents, Hermione also sent them on a holiday to australia.

[@joelharris3319]

Yep, she send them to Australia and after the war intends to go find and reunite with them :)

[@adamcummings20]

I think it's mentioned once in a very short line by one of the members of the Order, but yeah very easy to miss

[@monkeys50000]

The taboo was mentioned in a deleted scene following Ron’s injury from the Ministry of Magic. I wish they would have kept that.

[@shadowfrost__]

She does send them to Australia, however she doesn't use obliviate which is a permanent memory wipe, she uses one that can be reversed. I don't remember if they name it book or not, but they are clear that she didn't use the permanent spell.

[@clover2739]

It’s weird how they literally recorded the scene where Ron explains it and they just didn’t add it… like it wouldn’t have been that long

[@drayman101]

I always loved how Harry responded in the book to Ron when they're talking after he comes back to them and destroys the locket: when Ron said "He [Dumbledore] must have known I'd want to leave you." and Harry counters with: "No, he must have known you would always want to come back." ... it's one of my favorite lines in the books, and beautifully shows how much Harry values Ron as a friend, something the movies never quite got right... not to mention how much they butchered Ron's character overall in the films.

In the book, Wormtail hesitated and considered helping Harry, when Harry reminded him of how he spared his life in book 3 and because of the guilt he felt for having betrayed Harry's parents to Voldermort. Because of this, the silver hand that Voldermort gave Wormtail, strangled him to death as Harry and Ron tried to save him. He doesn't get knocked out by Dobby from behind.

[@suzanh2813]

Well said, I was trying to relay that to a couple other reactors a while back and for the life of me could not remember the moment that was considered sparing his life… ugh I’m not that bright sometimes, mostly when I need to be most 🤪

[@elizabethbertucci9313]

Yeah, I remember a scene when Harry was talking to Dumbledore about how Harry had done something for Wormtail, maybe spared him from something? Dumbledore seemed to insinuate that Wormtail may feel indebted to Harry. I believe that’s why he hesitated in the book and the silver hand punished him by killing him.

[@Lady-Seashell-Bikini]

Honestly. The silver hand was SUPER important, not just some reward Voldemort gave to Peter.

[@3.k]

[@DreadKyller]

In the books, while Ron is gone from the trio he overhears people talking about the taboo. During the first wizarding war, Voldemort managed to leverage assets within the ministry to place a taboo on his name. A taboo is a charm that makes it so when a word is spoken, it breaks all but the most powerful of enchantments in the area and alerts certain people of the location it was spoken. This is, among other reasons, why nearly everyone was always terrified to say Voldemort's name, even after his first downfall. The taboo was removed when the ministry regained its footing, but when Voldemort got back into power and took over the ministry, the taboo was put back. Ron overhears people talking about it, and he lets Harry and Hermione know once he returns. This is why when Xenophilius Lovegood says Voldemort it alerts the death eaters of the location. it's also how the two death eaters found them after they disaperated from the wedding.

Also Regulus ordered Kreecher to help Voldemort hide the locket in the basin. Voldemort had Kreecher drink the water of the basin (like Dumbledore did) and left Kreecher to die but house elves have their own magic and transported himself back to the Black family. Regulus took Kreecher with him to switch the lockets. Regulus drank the potion this time and died from being attacked by the creatures in the water.

Wormtail's death is one thing I wish they'd kept in the film. Instead of being stunned by Dobby in the dungeon scene, in the book Wormtail actually catches Harry before he can escape and instead of killing him right away he hesitates after Harry reminded him of the debt he owed him for not turning him to the Dementors back in Prisoner of Azkaban. Because of this Wormtail was actually strangled to death by the silver hand Voldemort had given him after interpreting his hesitancy for treason. That was probably the most meaningful scene his character had and it's a bit sad that they completely changed it in the movie.

[@clover2739]

Yeah like I always felt even in the books that wormtail was way too one dimensional for who he is that I can’t imagine him being that close friends with James and Sirius especially, but having that small moment at the end of hesitation when Harry mentions saving his life which lead to that metal hand strangling himself is the biggest thing he had that gave him more dimension and it’s sad that it just became more of a comedic scene, because even Ron and Harry were trying to stop the hand chocking him despite everything he did

[@karenhall4645]

Maybe they were trying to keep the movie PG. There's already a pretty high body count. And somebody being strangled to death by their own hand could be quite a disturbing scene.

[@lechat8533]

The book is so much more devastating. When reading the HP books, you actually learn what Harry is thinking. When he was digging the grave for Dobby, Harry`s thoughts were so unbelievably sad that I couldn`t stop crying. The tears kept coming and coming. It was one of the saddest and deepest moments in the book, which I remember very vividly.

[@TheOnlyGulp]

Couple really important notes left out or different in the book: 1) Wormtail lets Harry and Ron out of the dungeon at Malfoy manor after being caught by snatchers. This was wormtails redemption moment and a big moment in the book. Voldemort had given Wormtail a magical silver hand in book 4 in the graveyard after being brought back - since it sensed wormtails betrayal it choked wormtail to death after he saved Harry. 2) The word "Voldemort" has a trace on it put on by the now overtaken ministry. This explains how they found Harry and the gang so quickly after escaping the wedding. It also explains why Lunas dad says the name and the death eaters arrive instantly at the house. The reason a trace is put on it is because only people who stand against "Voldemort" use that name, otherwise they either refer to him as the Dark Lord or are to scared to refer to him at all. 3) The eyeball on Umbridges office was the very same as Mad Eye Moody's. After his death she kept it as a momento. Many, many, many other details that were left out, but if I include them all I would type for days!

[@GirlyBoo]

I hope they read this. You brought up some really good stuff that was left out!!

Bill and Molly are meant to be there for the third task in GoF as Harry's family because the other champions all have family visiting, and that's when Fleur and Bill first meet. Fleur later takes a desk job at Gringotts and gets paired with Bill who volunteers to "help her improve her English," and they fall in love on a genuine, deeper level than what Molly assumes based on Fleur's appearance. Then, Fleur puts up with the way the women in Bill's life treat her for the better part of a year before the wedding. Once she finally stands up to Molly in HBP, she is accepted by the Weasleys in time for the wedding. Theirs is a love story that deserved better, much like Remus and Tonks, Harry and Ginny, and even Ron and Hermione.

[@user-vc5rp7nf8f]

i loved the way they did the story of the 3 brothers. so eloquent and beautifully animated. the overall tone in this one is definitely more dark, solitary, and stressful. everyone's separated from each other, ppl are dying, society is falling apart, voldemort's gaining even more power, and there's so much uncertainty and hopelessness around everything. so good. also love ron and hermoine's relationship

The one important book thing I always thought was missing from the movies was that there was protection for Harry at the Dursley's until his 17th birthday (and I think that was when the trace came off, as well) - that's why he had to go back to such a terrible place, he was safe there.

[@bobapjok4241]

i was wondering if they know the "why" to why he always had to go back every year and the significance of why they were all waiting for him as he was turning 17. i couldnt remember if the movies made that point. there are several details in the books that are left out. Still great movies, but if youve only seen the movies you miss out on some of the important reasons for things.

[@Lady-Seashell-Bikini]

Specifically, Harry had protection as long as he had a place he could call home. Though, I wonder why no one could transfer the protection spell to the Weasleys. Molly would have been overjoyed to act as his adopted mother.

It was blood magic so only living with a blood relation could protect him.

The beginning scene, she was erasing her parents memories of her to protect them, because as you saw in the last one. The Death Eaters were also attacking the Muggle World now too!! And Hermione being in such close proximity to Harry means that her family are in danger too! I also wish they kept that full Dursleys leaving scene in, in the deleted scene you see an extended version of it, that Dudley & Harry finally have a moment. They finally respect each other!

Another fun fact about Harry Potter is that nobody thought it would be as huge as it was when they were filming the first movie. Warner Brother's wanted to test it out to see if a global audience could care about a school based in the UK. Early on I think it's really cool how some prolific British actors agreed to appear in the first movie. Then you can tell as each film went on it became even more of a global phenomenon and they could get even bigger names in British and Irish film and theater. Daniel Radcliffe used to say it was like going to the best drama school on the planet because pretty much all of the adult cast are legends in the British and Irish film industry.

What isn't explained in the film is that the way they are found so quickly in London is because they say the name "Voldemort". The Order of the Phoenix were the only people brave enough to say Voldemort, everyone else called him He Who Must Not Be Named and Voldemort knew that and cast a spell so that whenever his name is spoken the Deatheaters can instantly go to the spot. That's why they turn up at Luna's dad's house the second after he says "Voldemort" too.

[@neonoires]

My mom waited in line at midnight to get this book for me and I read it all in one sitting. This book is extremely dark and mature, especially with the story of Dumbledore's family and the horror of the horcruxes. It was also quite depressing with how often the Trio had to move locations and they all went through some pretty heavy mental breakdowns. I find the Death Eaters extremely scary. I've had nightmares about hiding from them that were pretty chilling even in my adulthood. The thing to remember about Ron even though the movies didn't do his character justice is that he comes from a family of extremely accomplished people. His 5 older brothers were all over-achievers and Ginny is a really strong witch and also very popular. It's not that Ron is weak or goofy it's just that he always felt really normal and then at Hogwarts it's kind of the same with Harry being famous and Hermione being as smart as she is. Ron is just surrounded by extremely excellent people. I think in retrospect a lot of people are more like Ron than we care to admit.

The doe aside, a fun note about particular Patronus forms is Ron and Hermione's forms. Ron's is a Jack Russell Terrier while Hermione's is an otter. Jack Russells notably will run along the river and play with otters. A Patronus can also change form if the person casting it has gone through a major emotional change. Tonks, for example, sees hers shift from a jackrabbit to a wolf after she falls in love with Remus.

You have to read the books to get the full backstory on Dumbledore and his family that was mentioned at the wedding. Same with the story of how Harry actually got that shard of mirror.

I HATE how they killed Mad Eye Moody offscreen. He was the one who came up with the Seven Harry plan, took over the Order when Dumbledore was killed and was one of the most powerful Aurors ever. That is why Voldemort went straight for Alastor during the Battle of Seven Harrys, he assumed the real Harry would be with the most powerful wizard. Mad Eye Moody was betrayed by Mundungus who deserted him and apparated away when Voldemort showed up during the Battle of the Seven Harrys. His body was never recovered by his eye was, which is the one you see on Umbridges door. The way they handled this in the movie was such a disservice to his character. I was kinda sad you didn't realize that Hedwig was killed protecting Harry. If someone gets hit with a "flash of green" you can be sure it was most likely the Killing Curse. Especially if it's from a Death Eater. Her death symbolised Harrys childhood being over.

Grindelwald, the thief from the pictures and Harry's vision in Voldemort's mind, he had a very impactful relationship with Dumbledore and it wasn't even mentioned in the movie; Rita Skeeter's book only implied they knew each other in a couple of photos It affected how Dumbledore made his decisions regarding himself, the Wizarding world AND the Muggles Grindelwald is also the focus of the prequel series, Fantastic Beasts, that recently got cut short by Warner Bros. there were supposed to be five movies; only three will apparently be made; the name also cropped up on Harry's first ever train ride to Hogwarts; it was on his Chocolate Frog card of Dumbledore, but it was only mentioned in the book You see, the books have started to tie together, beginning with the revelation that Tom Riddle's diary was a Horcrux the whole time and now with: - Gryffindor's sword used to slay the Basilisk can destroy the rest - the Deluminator (used by Dumbledore on the night Harry was delivered to the Dursleys in Sorcerer's Stone saves Ron's life in a way - the Golden Snitch caught in Harry's first Quidditch match now being of some utmost importance The Tale of the Three Brothers is more involved thematiacally; once you finish Part 2, we, your fan base, will explain it to you Viktor Krum showed up at the wedding in the book and he revealed that the mark of the Deathly Hallows is graffitied on a wall on his campus in Durmstrang, where he attends Grindelwald was a student there too but got expelled for studying the Dark Arts too seriously i.e. the Deathly Hallows These two movies have the most content from their books since Chamber of Secrets but some key things have still been left out PLEASE WATCH PART 2 for film Friday! We would love to see your reaction to the finale right after this part! Love you both very much! ❤❤❤

Why aren’t they going to finish Fantastic Beasts? That’s disappointing.

[@KarlKraus1]

@@MsAppassionata they haven't even started it they don't even know it exists since they're still on this series I bet they won't watch it because no one is mentioning it

[@ozyssah]

@@MsAppassionata i think its a combination of the secrets of dumbldore not being as successful, controversies with so many of the actors from the series (ezra millers stuff mostly now that depp was replaced, which also made more ppl not watch it since they don't think he should've been replaced) and overall bad reviews, which make sense since JK was doing the screenplay and she definitely is not that kind of writer. Even if they weren't great I would've loved to see at least what happened with grindelwald especially since the last movie just felt like a good set up for the rest, but I don't think we ever will. maybe we will get some book/short story detailing it, but sadly we wont see that legendary duel between Dumbledore and Grindelwald (if it happened)

[@mev2441]

@@KarlKraus1 no they meant why are they not gonna make all 5 fantastic beasts movies like the original comment talked about. they only made three instead of the proposed five

[@KarlKraus1]

@@mev2441 ah sorry Yeah like the earlier comment said the movies became too inconsistent the writing was just being too filling and it wasn't working out with audiences plus the whole calamity with johnny depp and then with ezra miller AND rowling herself... WB had to jump ship and cut their losses it really is a damn shame we won't get to see that duel in 1945 that got dumbledore the elder wan d

I've been longing to see Harry get back at Umbridge, and he caught her off guard since she never knew it was him when he knocked her out with a quick flash.

[@alwysmello4674]

The little trinkets that let off the gas were called "decoy detonators" invented by the weasly twins. The movies don't mention that harry won 1000 galleons for winning the tri wizard tournament and gave the galeons to the weasley twins and told them to "get inventing".

Bruuuuh, we can't wait til Friday, (or even worse next Monday). I'm so excited to see you guys finish the end. It's been such a fun journey watching you guys so far.

[@jasmynbarca7222]

I look forward to your HP reactions every week, they CANNOT come fast enough. I would probably watch a reaction video of you READING Harry Potter, honestly! No matter what happens in Part 2, know that the friendship, love and courage this series teaches you will ALWAYS be there.

Jamie Campbell Bower who plays Henry Creel in Stranger Things is very briefly in this movie as young Gellert Grindelwald. He is the young man who jumps through a window after stealing something

[@classmonitorbot8295]

Remember at the end of the 2nd movie, Harry asked Dobby a favor? "Never try to save my life again." - this is a testament to Rowling's epic foreshadowing writing.

[@jsjazz12]

The final movie is next. It will clear up so much. There's one scene I can't wait to get Amber's reaction to. I read all of the books and saw of the movies when they came out. You reacting to the movies has brought back so many memories. I remember when I got one of the new books staying up all night to read it. Then I read it again. This has been awesome.

[@ikissdogs3684]

We're ready for you to get to part two as well - go for it!

[@annetteknott5248]

Something that may be helpful for you guys to know is that Flitwick is the Hogwarts Charms teacher. The goblin at the Malloy mansion is called Griphook. They are different characters in the books and movies, but in the movies they are played by the same actor - Warwick Davies. Love the reactions so far,

[@aagold76]

Dobby's in all the books after his introduction- they just kept him out of the films... he went to work at Hogwarts for Dumbledore- he's the one who found the Room of Requirement for them to practice in.

[@lynnerush8]

Apparently they kept Dobby out of the movies bc the CGI technology was not what it is today and it was expensive/difficult to animate him.

[@melindamercier6811]

I find the dance between Harry and Hermione to be so precious. I love that moment between them trying to find a moment to smile amidst the tragedy of their lives.

[@emmajohnson6466]

a few fun Polyjuice Potion tidbits: - this is the potion first seen in the 2nd book/movie, brewed in the girls’ bathroom w/ moaning myrtle for the trio to ask Malfoy abt the Chamber of Secrets. it is also extensively used in the 4th book/movie for Barty Crouch jr to impersonate Mad Eye all year - typically, Polyjuice Potion takes on characteristics of the person you are transforming into. when Harry + Ron became Crabbe + Goyle, it was disgusting and sluggish, gray-green, and very gross. it is said in the books that when the group took Harry-Polyjuice Potion before leaving Privet Drive, it turned a clear, bright gold in and was "much tastier" than both Crabbe's and Goyle's - for Bill + Fleur’s wedding, Harry was actually disguised as a random red-headed muggle from the local village using the potion. everyone who knew told everyone else that he was just another Weasley cousin and that they must not remember him because the family is so large - before the trio left the Weasley’s in the beginning, they stole the remainder of Mad-Eye’s Polyjuice Potion stores in case they would need it. After using most of what was left for the Ministry mission, Harry + Hermione used some more when they went to Godric’s Hollow, they disguised themselves as muggles and wore the invisibility cloak for extra protection. when they went to bathilda’s house, they took off the cloak but were still disguised. she only knew it was Harry bc she was actually Nagini
