Re the Hogsmeade town outing: only 3rd-year students and older could visit town, so it was a special first time for Ron and Hermione. Harry wouldn't have expected them to stay back. In the book they did bring back bottled butterbeers and bags of candy to share.

[@joshuacoldwater]

While this is the truth, and the book stated this… maybe I just was raised differently? If any of my friends were left out, for whatever reason, I made it a personal mission to stay with them. I’d then make take the time we stayed back and make unforgettably fun and unique. While, yes, it would’ve been their “special first time” it was also supposed to be their best friend’s “special first time”. I would’ve been miserable knowing that he was not experiencing it with us. They could’ve waited and made the NEXT TIME all of their “special first time” together. I think it was a very dry move, and I hope in the future I teach my kids better.

[@ShadowShiranui]

@@joshuacoldwater so you would not get your friends something from town? you do also forget that harry has no hope it would change even next year until black got caught. so me as harry would feel bad and would send my friends to hogsmeade even if they would stay with me. better have fun with something after as all three feel bad hearing all other kids talking about it.

[@marieporter9488]

​@@ShadowShiranuiHarry wasn't forced to stay in Hogwarts because of Sirius, it was because his uncle didn't sign the paper at the beginning of the movie. The paper was for permission to visit the village, and only a parent or other legal guardian could sign it

[@ShadowShiranui]

@@marieporter9488 even with the sign he wouldn't get the permission to go. Even lupin wasn't on his side as long he didn't know the truth. so yes he need the sign but as long Sirius was on the lose and potential dangerous Harry would have faced stricter regulations.

[@Durag__bandit98]

Lore left out the movie: The marauders map was made by Lupin(moony) wormtail(Peter) Padfoot(Sirius) Prongs(James). They all became unofficial animagus so that they could be with lupin while he transformed into a werewolf so he wasn’t alone

[@adamsnavely4193]

And James’ Animagus was a stag. Which is why Harry’s Patronus is also a stag. So Harry’s dad was there after all.

[@hectorsmommy1717]

@@adamsnavely4193 I suspect James' patronus was also a stag since Lily's was a doe and love often causes compatible patronuses.

[@stefaniefreeman7541]

They never explain it in the movies but Sirius escaped because he saw the news article with Ron and his family in Egypt and Ron was holding scabbers. Sirius recognized him because they had spent a lot of time together in their anamaigus forms. Fudge I think it was, was visiting the prison to inspect things and left it there

[@jl__mm]

No sirius asked for the newspaper bc he want to do the crosswords, but in reality he sees the photo and the date of the day so he escaped the prison as Padfoot, he was so skinny and the dementors can't feel his mind, he swam to Azkaban to the land.

[@FrattFTW]

​@@jl__mm *He was so skinny that he could slip through the bars. And when he was in his dog form, Dementors couldn't feel his emotions that well. That's why he was able to escape.

[@biancawichard4057]

in the book lupin waited for snape to bring him the antidote serius is refering to, hes looking at the map and see stuff happening with the kids so he runs off without closing the map. when snape came to bring the antidote, he sees the map and also sees what is happening. thats why he goes there too.

[@Gidget-b8s]

"Expecto whatever", truly the antithesis to the spirit of the charm 😅😂

[@Durag__bandit98]

Dementors were made as a physical representation of the depression jk Rowling was in during this book And Mr weasly won a prize at his job that’s how the weaslys got to go to Egypt( and how Ron got a new wand) which is how Sirius found out Peter survived cuz he seen scabbers on the newspaper cover and during the leaky cauldron seen he met crookshanks as a dog and got her to try and kill him all year which is y Ron and hermione argued a lot

[@bidishah]

That's also why chocolate is given to Harry repeatedly as a "remedy". In real life eating chocolate releases dopamine in the brain which is a happy hormone, so it will help someone feel better. I've always thought that's such a neat little detail. ❤

[@Durag__bandit98]

Snape was taking lupin a potion that lessens his werewolf transformation and saw everyone on the map that’s also how lupin found them

[@mervinmannas7671]

Its not mentioned here but the reason Sirius is able to escape is until then the Dementors keep their prisoners in a constant state of depression making them relive all their worst fears and experiences. so Sirius was never strong enough to change into his dog form. However someone visiting Azkaban leaves a copy of the Daily Prophet and Sirius see's wormtail as a rat in Rons arms. Realising what happened 12 years ago he knows who set him up and that Harry is in danger. This gives him hope and purpose again making him strong enough to transform and therefore by passing the dementors.

[@toodlescae]

Not completely accurate. Sirius said that knowing he was innocent helped keep him sane and so did turning into a dog occasionaly. It's just that Sirius wasn't skinny enough in animagus form to slip between the bars of his cell or determined enough to try to escape until he saw the picture in the newspaper.

[@KatBee00]

I will never stop telling you how much I appreciate your attention to detail ❤❤ it makes your reactions SO enjoyable to watch

[@livb6945]

I heartily agree

[@DianeGraft]

The kids still wear their school uniforms to class - you see that when they are in class with Professor Lupin. Outside of class hours, they can wear normal street clothes, and the director really leaned into that. Lupin knew where to find Harry in the Shrieking Shack because he had the map. He hurried off to find Harry, and left the map active, so Snape was able to see where he had gone. A detail they left out of the movie is that the Dementors can't really sense animals, so they can't track Sirius when he's in his dog form. That's how he got into the castle.

[@Muck006]

Snape SHOULD HAVE known about Peter Pettigrew then ...

[@OphepheVanessa]

@@Muck006 he knew about him but believed him to be dead. They were not friends so he just knew he was a rat

[@atorothcassidy4866]

​@@Muck006the map doesn't show the shack just the entrance at the tree, so when snape saw the map he only saw Lupin and where he was going.

[@usagi3093]

In the Half-Blood Prince book, Snape fined Harry 20 points just for setting foot on Hogwarts grounds in Muggle clothing.

[@Rcmkney23]

a patronus can have 2 forms. the more basic is the simple shield, but the more advanced level is called a corporeal patronus that has a defined form of an animal that usually reflects somthing of the wizard's personality. harry's is a stag showing a connection to his father who turned into a stag as his animagus form

[@alexmckee4683]

I don't think I have ever seen anyone else figure out all the plot points while watching. The only thing you missed was the repeated hints that Hermione was not in class when it started and suddenly appeared among them. Ron would notice wouldn't he ;-) I read the book before watching the film so I already knew the plot when I watchef it. This is definitely the best standalone Harry Potter film, it's accessible to people who've never read the books while remaining pretty faithful to the book. Cuaron brought a very distinctive look and feel to this film, I personally think it is the best looking of the films too. Not my favourite but definitely a very good adaptation.

[@bidishah]

I agree so much ❤

[@marshallpeters7174]

In the book, werewolves very closely resemble actual wolves, not the human/wolf hybrid shown in the movie. The question Snape asked the class was about how to tell the difference between them. That's one of my biggest issues with this film. That and the fact that the Map and the Marauders were never properly explained in the movie, and the scene in the Shrieking Shack was way too short. There was a lot of dialogue left out there.

[@GSUShane]

One of the few reactors to notice Snape tried to protect the children with his own body upon seeing the werewolf.

[@apatternedhorizon]

Not much to notice, it's obvious. He's just one of the few to point it out.

[@011mph]

everyone who watches would obviously notice 😭

[@hennakettunen8755]

I don't think he did it originally, in the book I mean.

[@LaurinGarcia]

One of the things that was left out of the movie but was in The Prisoner of Azkaban novel is that James Potter (Harry's father), Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew were the original inventors of The Marauders Map. That is the reason why Professor Lupin knew how to use it. When the original Marauders were students in Hogwarts they were all best friends. When James, Sirius and Peter found out that Remus is a werewolf they decided to become Animagus (wizards that can willfully magically turn into an animal just like Professor McGonagall can turn into a cat) because werewolves don't attack other animals and Remus' friends didn't want him to be alone during the full moon period. This is why the map reveals the weird names when you use the "I solemnly swear I am up to no good" spell. They were the nicknames of the Marauders. Mooney is Remus Lupin because he is a werewolf. Padfoot is Sirius Black because his animagus form is a dog. Wormtail is Peter Pettigrew because his animagus form is a rat. And James Potter is Prongs because his animagus form is a stag. Dumbledore knew about Remus' condition and how Remus became a werewolf when he was only a very small child. So he had the Womping Willow tree planted and had a tunnel put in so that Remus can hide in the Shrieking Shack during the full moon cycle. 🌜🌕🌛🐺🐶🦌🐀🪄🌳🏚

[@hectorsmommy1717]

The difference between an Animagus and Transfiguration of ones self is that an Animagus can actually live as the animal where a wizard that transfigures themselves into an animal cannot maintain it for very long. Some wizards are willing to take the time and effort to train themselves beyond transfiguration like the Marauders did. McGonagall was so gifted at transfiguration that she did pretty much was an animagus from the get-go.

[@Masq1980]

I agree. And even in this movie I think that they don't do him justice. They never really explain the deep friendship that he shared with James, Sirius and Peter. They never explain that the whomping willow was planted in Hogwarts ground because of him. He's so much more important than what they show. Of course they couldn't fit the whole book in the movie but it's still kind of frustrating. Especially with such a great actor to play the role

yeah its called accidental magic. Happens with big emotions with younger wizards who are still learning to control it

[@debbiecantwell7739]

You are right about the no magic outside of school. This was a mistake in the movie.

[@mario.gaines]

what’s even more crazy about their mistake is that 15 minutes later they contradict themselves by having Harry be worried about being in trouble with the Ministry for accidentally using magic on his aunt

[@somewhereonlyweknow2814]

⁠@@mario.gainesI don’t think it was a mistake at all, I believe it’s because there’s a big difference between the spells used. Lumus is quite an inconsequential spell, it’s not dangerous or attention grabbing. Blowing up a whole human being, on the other hand (and a muggle one, at that), is a whole other level. It’s dangerous and also impossible to ignore. The Ministry can’t possibly track down every one for a simple Lumus every time, they’ll only show up for serious situations.

[@mario.gaines]

@@somewhereonlyweknow2814 you clearly didn’t read the books, cause in Chamber of Secrets Harry gets a official warning from the Ministry because Dobby used a hover charm on the pudding…you’re forgetting this is an entire government full of Magic they can absolutely show up to every single little incident of underage Magic if they wanted to because it is immediately detected due to a trace that is placed on all wizards to detect any magic being used around them until they turn 17

[@ronjakribach2779]

​@@somewhereonlyweknow2814 the books make it clear, that every kind of magic is illegal for underaged outside of school. And because of the trace they are able to notive every bit of magic that happens around underaged wizards. They do attend even the less dangerous spells, like the levitation by Dobby in Chamber of secrets. It is not dangerous but Harry receives a letter from the ministry immediately with a warning in it. Thats Part of why they escalated in ootp because in their mind it is Harrys second time breaking law (and of course because of fudge). So it really is a big mistake by the movies. The ministry would question Harry immediately if he would have done even lumos

[@i.marchand4655]

@@somewhereonlyweknow2814 In the book, Harry had a mundane, muggle flashlight. I think that ANY magic would register, and since Harry lives with muggles, the ministry would know that Harry cast the spell.. If Ron does a bit of magic at home the Ministry knows the spell, but not who cast it. Another big disadvantage for the muggle-born.

dementors are really good at sensing negativity, that is why people hope that they can catch Serius because if Serius is "disturbed" he would have more negative thoughts, that is what Lupin explains to Harry that dementors go around him more than other students because Harry has suffer a lot so he has more sad and tragic thoughts than the average person.

[@Metalweld]

I believe in order for Sirius' name to be officially cleared, they needed Peter Pettigrew. Harry had explained that was the only reason he spared Pettigrew. Unfortunately, with Peter's escaping their grasp, Sirius will still have to be an outlaw.

[@CoffeeBrainzz]

Dumbledore is the Biggest troll! 😂😎 he just like "this is my magical world, y'all just livin in it"

Something else left out of the movies that no one seems to remember to bring up is that Harry HAS to be able to call the Dursley's house his home. More specifically, he HAS to be able to call wherever Petunia lives his home. This is the only way his mother's protection will work. Otherwise, he is easily found by Voldemort and his cronies.

(JK Rowling studied classic languages, and there are a LOT of names in the Harry Potter series that reflect that knowledge.) Glad you're enjoying the movies so much - the next one is a cracker! 😉🤩

[@robwilliamson5082]

So while a lot of people don’t love Michael Gambon as Dumbledore, I personally think his energy is closer to what I imagined when reading the books. While Richard Harris was brilliant and brought the regality and presence of Dumbledore, Michael Gambon really gave the youthful energy despite his age that the character always had. And,“spoiler,” aside from the most memed scene of the series, his portrayal is excellent. Also regarding Dementors,I think dumbledore said they will not separate between the one they’re after and anyone who gets in their way. So they can tell, they just don’t care, which makes them more terrifying.

Something that the movies didn’t mention was that even though they say that someone was helping Sirius from the inside, they made it seem like that was not true after you find out everything. Sirius did have help, he made friends with Crookshanks Hermione's, and Crookshanks was actually actively hunting Peter because Sirius told him what happened.

[@alexmckee4683]

Boggarts and bogles are amongst the oldest mythological creatures in British culture. There are references to them in lots of old folklore. They are often shapeshifting creatures, though bogles came to be associated with ghosts in Scotland. In all cases they are untrustworthy things you must approach with great caution. They are associated with goblins (pucks, pwca) and elfs, house elfs being a type of goblin or bogle known as a brownie or hob in some places, and they are also considered to be an equivalent to the Roman genius loci a sort of spirit attached to a place.

Well dementors don't usually leave the prison since no one had ever escaped before Sirius did. That's why no one but Dumbledore thought stationing them at Hogwarts was a bad idea. The Ministry in it's arrogance thought they were in control of even the dementors natural instincts to feed off of the emotions of *anyone* in their vicinity no matter the temptation they were presented with. Snape was trying to expose Lupin as a werewolf in that class. He had no idea at the time that Sirius was an unregistered animagus. No one did except Lupin and Dumbledore. Neither of whom connected that with how Sirius escaped from Azkaban.

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

My favorite things about Prisoner Of Azkaban: 1. The song "Double Trouble". 2. Hermione punching Malfoy right in his smug face. 3. The introduction of Gary Oldman as Sirius Black and David Thewlis as Remus Lupin. 4. Harry flying on Buckbeak's back over Hogwarts (SPECTACULAR scenery).

In addition to passing clouds, thoughts and feelings, strong emotions don't last more than around half an hour without getting continuously fed by us. So if you're experiencing a strong emotion, let's say panic, if you manage to sit through the discomfort and trust that it is eventually going to go away, than it will gradually get easier to deal with and it will get less overwhelming with time. Thank you for a great reaction, I'm very disappointed that we're losing the Volkswagen joke though. The director wanted the kids to wear their uniforms the way they wanted, and to be in casual clothes outside of school lessons which is why you see them in regular clothes a lot.

[@BigRob1994]

Okay a couple of things the movie didn’t explain and I promise they’re not spoilers for future movies. They never explain this stuff. The creators of the map “the marauders” were Harry’s dad’s friend group. Mooney was Lupin because he’s a werewolf, wormtail was Peter Pettigrew because he could transform into a rat (rat tails look like worms), Padfoot was Sirius because Sirius could transform into a dog and prongs was James Potter because he could transform into a stag (a male deer with antlers). They all learned to become animagi to accompany Lupin while he was a werewolf. The reason Lupin knew where to find Sirius and Harry/friends is because he saw it on the map. The reason Snape knew was because Lupin hastily left once he saw it and he was bringing Lupin his full moon potion. Snape then saw it on the map where to find them all.

[@FluffySylveonBoi]

When Harry conjured the super powerful Patronus, he could do it because he imagined leaving Dursleys and living with Sirius. Another great reaction, I love how you notice everything.

[@LizsList]

You didn't seem low energy you seem to find. To answer some of your questions Lupine follow them because he saw it on the map when Snape went to give Lupin the potion and keep him from changing into a wolf he saw Lupine heading off the map and followed it. It tells in the books but they were all shapeshifters because they were all friends in high school and wanted to go out and protect their friend when he had to turn into a werewolf. And Harry's dad turned into a stag and his father's Patronus is a stag too. So technically his father was there with him so Harry wasn't completely wrong. This was said in the books but there was not enough time in the movie to put it in. Great reaction.

[@needyverse]

I can see that some commenters have explained IMPORTANT LORE that was left out of this movie and IS NOT A SPOILER (because the movies never explain it and it drives me mad) regarding James, Sirius, Lupin and Peter's time as students - and their nicknames (Prongs, Padfoot, Moony, and Wormtail respectively) from that time when they were actually The Marauders who made the Map. Plus more about Lupin's childhood as someone suffering from lycanthropy, and why his friends decided to learn to be an Animagus in secret (stag, dog, rat). Definitely worth reading any comments that explain this!

[@capitalhillproductions9790]

"Lupin" is derived from "Lupine," which refers to the genus of flowering plants in the legume family, Fabaceae. The term "Lupine" is also related to "Lupus," which is Latin for "wolf." This connection comes from the belief that certain species of lupine plants were harmful to livestock, just as wolves were. "Lupine" also shares a root with "Lycanthropy," the mythical condition of transforming into a wolf, which we commonly associate with werewolves. Also....In astronomy, Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. It's part of the constellation Canis Major, often referred to as the "Dog Star" because it's located in the constellation representing a dog.

I like the Volkswagen moniker. Please don't retire it. It makes a fun running joke. It's not the Dementors CAN'T differentiate between people. They just choose not to when it isn't convenient.

30:30 Harry is sassy, but in this moment (which isn't in the KZbin edit) he really does just read what the Marauders Map says after Snape tells it to 'reveal its secrets' - the Map actually responded to Snape's command. The comments might have explained this already, but the Marauders were actually James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew, back when they were students and best friends at Hogwarts. They created the Map, and imbued it with a bit of their own personality. Snape was also at school at the same time as them (as you've probably gathered from Sirius' comments about Harry's dad), and that meant the Map knew who Snape was, and made those comments about him. That's also why Lupin knows it's a Map of the school and gets annoyed with Harry for risking his safety (since at this point Lupin also sadly believes Sirius killed James and Lily and doesn't know the truth yet), even when Harry said 'Mischief managed' and the parchment looks blank at that point. That's a small movie detail that often gets missed - how does Lupin knows it's a Map, unless he's used it before? For anyone who reads the book, it's more obvious.

I watched till the end - talking about mental health is always important. You never know when someone could hear this at a crucial time in their lives. Thank you for speaking about it.

[@sp72929]

Congratulation to catch the tip-tap of Peter as a rat!!! Wow! Did not catch that one the first time watching even though I knew the rat was there. A rather important bit from the books that will be quite significant later on about the Patronuses: Not every whizard is able to conjur one and even less are able to conjur a powerful corporal one. Dark whizards (as Voldemort's followers) are not able to conjur one at all. The Patronus takes the a form complementing your personality and could in rare cases even change into another form to complement the person you really love. James Potter's Patronus as well as Animagus form was a stag Lilly's Potter's was a doe. Harry's is the same as his father's but at the same time complements his mother's too.

[@JakeReactsYT]

That tip tapping stood out to me SO much, because I was tryna see or hear whoever was there lol. And that's so interesting about the Patronus!

[@Cameron5043]

Jake, my man, you are brilliant! I've never seen anyone pick up clues so fast in my life! And thank you for your thoughtful words about mental health. I truly appreciate them!

[@lidiadiasdecastro4530]

Your assessment on why Hermione doesn't like Divination was spot on. It's the type of class where I'd imagine having an open mind would be more important than just book smarts.

[@jl__mm]

I love how Lupin is laughing when he see the map, bc he knows what it is and who made the sentence about Snape nose.

[@fromdonna]

Out of all movie reviewers, you’re the most perceptive one. You clocked every single clue.. most people just let the clue slide.. refreshing!

[@Labben91]

How time travel works in the Harry Potter universe is my favorite form of time travel.

[@marieporter9488]

It's less about changing the past, and more about ensuring the future happens the way it should, which is not common in other time travel stories!

[@DylVan-k8y]

51:57 harry unlocked a genuine happy memory by talking with serious and the offer to live him so harry wouldnt have to go back to his aunts and uncles place. Before he was using a “fake” memory which is really just the thought of his parents and love. Which is strong but he has to technically imagine them as he doesn’t have a memory of them directly from them, only what people have told him and pictures he’s seen of them

[@j.s.viewer3923]

@JakeReactsYT -- One of my favorite BTS facts/stories for this film: During the sleepover in the Great Hall scene, Dumbledore (Gambon) and Snape (Rickman) planted a fart machine in Harry (Radcliffe)'s sleeping bag and Dumbledore used a remote to make it go off. These grown men giggling like children makes my heart glow. 🥰😂

[@SanyaAngryGolub]

Moreover, in that scene, Redcliffe deliberately lay down in a sleeping bag next to a girl he liked. And this makes the situation even funnier.

[@88happiness]

I heard the director allowed them to wear normal clothes to develop their individuality more. This style continues.

[@davidfairweather3301]

Yeh Alfonso Cuaron is quite an “artsy” director and he likes everything to have flavour to it, so think he instructed the kids to alter their uniforms to how they would wear them in school, and then had them wear “normal” clothes in the free time to emphasise characters individuality. It’s one of the times where I can let go of book lore, in terms of allowing hogwarts students to be wearing muggle clothing around hogwarts. I kinda like the feel it gives the movie. Overall I think Alfonso made the best movie out of the 7. Not specifically the best “Harry potter film” but an overall film in general. The cinematography is amazing, and I particularly love the long takes he does. Very talented man.

Okay, people. If you're here for the 3rd one you must like it. Hit the like button!

[@dereamajackson4725]

Thank you for your advice at the end. I needed that today. We had my brothers Celebration of Life memorial today. I have a tendency to dwell on things that bring about bouts of depression. I'll be taking your advice to heart these next few months. So thank you again. Good luck on your journey. ❤

[@jm52hz]

55:50 just the fact that you caught on to him being an animal is already leagues ahead of anyone else i’ve watched reacting to these movies 😭 honestly you caught on so much during this reaction that for a second i wondered if you had heard about some of it before, but your reactions are also super genuine, which makes it all the more amazing! it’s a lot of fun watching you uncover so many clues! most people completely forget they mentioned ‘animagus’ during the class (and not just werewolves), never saw anyone touch on Lupin’s limping + looking sick after he missed the class either!! (even when you mentioned something about his subject being the class Snape always wanted to teach, it surprised me how well you remembered things!) honestly it impressed me a lot overall 😭 even if others end up enjoying the movie, most people get really confused during the scene at the shrinking shack (and i dont blame them, some of the hints are really hard to catch on first watch 😭) but seeing you gathering the clues and slowly unravelling the mystery throughout the whole movie and realizing some of the twists moments before or as they were being revealed was incredible!!

[@pugowner1347]

A triple-decker bus. Lol. Have you really never seen or heard reference to a shrunken head? As you said, Lupin saw them on the map and went to the shack. Snape went to Lupin's office to give him a potion to help him keep his humanity during the werewolf transformation and saw them on the map also. "Like Godzilla and that other thing"?? 😂

[@CadTrii234]

Thanks for the after film comments and advice. For me , mist timely and serendipitous. Im in New Zealand, South Island, where we're just entering autumn.

[@grahamgresty8383]

The Black family (except Narsissa; not met yet) are named after stars/constellations hence the sky in the hall. Sirius is the dog star hence a black dog animagus! The Weasley's are from the house of Black as Arthur's mother was a Black. There is a spell cast on the Dursley house to not only protect Harry but the Dursley's as well. It requires a blood relative; Petunia, and she knows this fact hence why they reluctantly house Harry for at least 2 weeks per year. The spell breaks when Harry becomes 17 or if he leaves for good before. That's why the Dursley's are keen to keep him there and they are also trying to stop him learning more magic.

[@is2560]

these past years i've subscribed many reaction channels but honestly you're the best. you're easily in my top 3 favorite reactors now. you did amazing and keep up the good work!!!

[@jm52hz]

don’t know if anyone already mentioned it, but in the beginning sirius was barking at harry across the street so he would lift up his wand - which is how the bus finds “stranded wizards”

[@miragowaikar98]

another really cool thing: when ron predicted what harry would go through in divination, he was actually right. he would suffer because of what he's going through in this year, the whole sirius black situation, but he was going to be happy about it because he would get a new home. also, dementors are basically a representative of depression.

[@hannahstanley8201]

I’m super late to your channel, and these Harry Potter videos have been my first of yours. Your mental chats at the end of every video are so wholesome and uplifting. Thank you so much for them.

[@livb6945]

Mental health is very relevant, not just in these movies (more so as they progress) but in life in general. Good advice. Focusing on the present moment is a great relief. One way of doing that is to notice your own breath for a few minutes, or to sit in silence and just feel a body part, e g your hsmds. Just notice how they feel. The mind is hard to silence so the best way to meditate is to decide a simple thing to focus it on.

[@JakeReactsYT]

Yes meditation is amazing for staying present I love it. Focusing on the breath for me has always been the easiest ☺️

[@lmagoddess]

I know that I'm late to the party here but having adhd combined causes me to have anxiety and depression problems. This mental cocktail makes it damn near impossible to get into a traditional meditative state. I've never been able to sit still long enough to empty my mind. What I can do is hyperfocus. I find that state very relaxing especially if I can move while also focusing on one or two things. Ex: going walking with music and matching my pace with the rhythm actually causes my heart rate to slow down.

[@aaronvotan]

Lol Volkswagen is a good joke, why would you stop? It's your channel.. do whatever you want man

[@turntsnaco824]

"God, werewolves are ugly.... they're like some kind of, man-wolf hybrid or something." 🤣

[@rowanjoy419]

yeah in the movies they use normal clothes sometimes, but in the books they never- well harry does but because he is connected to the muggles and Hermione too

[@couch.patati-patata]

Harry got the Firebolt midway, Sirius had sent it. But they still thought Sirius was bad and Hermione told Miss McG about the broom. She confiscated it and stripped it down to check for hexes that might harm Harry. Then it was given back to Harry. He used it during the last Quidditch match against Slytherin. During the match Crabber and Goyle stood on each other's shoulders, put on dark robes and appeared on the pitch like Dementors to scare Harry. Harry had just caught the snitch and used the happiness to cast a Patronus at the Dementor. His Patronus had taken the shape as a stag, Crabbe and Goyle fell on the ground and got detention. This is the only time Harry won the Quidditch Cup in his whole stay, using the Firebolt.

[@debrac2023]

Strangely enough, the best way for me to move out of my head is to close my eyes and follow the floaties or shadows or light spots. Whatever is there. 🤷‍♀️ It works. But I had one amazing experience where I was suddenly 'transported' (just in my mind, but it was so realistic) to a vast white nothingness of snow were I just trudged along in exquisite peacefulness and harmony with myself. I've never been able to find that again, try though I have, and that makes me sad. Like something was offered then snatched away.

[@potatobeans22]

there is only one timeline! they basically showed it like two times to help us understand - there is only one timeline and it was a perfect loop which ended when they got back to the hospital wing (infirmary)

[@tikilocklin]

I don't understand how you're so sharp with these movie plot twists 😭 first you guessed that the beast in the chamber of secrets was a snake, then you guessed that sirius was an animagus?? then you guessed lupin was a werewolf???? this is crazyyyy broooo

[@vincestapels2022]

Pretty sus tbh...

[@SkidmoreTx]

They’re wearing regular clothes for the days they didn’t have classes also the director wanted a more closer version to the books. In the books they didn’t wore uniforms only a cloak on top of their regular clothes.

[@dammyjodger1]

I really appreciate reactions with actual insightful commentary. I think you're the only one I've seen to comment on some of Hermione's flaws, and pinpoint exactly why she reacted so rudely toward a teacher which is usually completely out of character for her. You're right, she isn't very in touch with her spiritual side and struggles with open-mindedness at times. I see hardly anybody talk about this but it's such an interesting and multi-faceted part of her character!

[@dammyjodger1]

And btw, not sure if this is obvious in the film, but the reason she was granted the time turner is because she took basically all the elective classes and there literally aren't enough hours in the day to attend them all. As an exceptional student, McGonagall decided to help her take them all. After the storming out scene in the book, however, she drops Divination class 😂

[@alexism3142]

That reaction was so good Jake, I'm so glad I came across your channel today and discovered a new great reactor to follow along on this journey! The quality of both the video and your reaction/commentary was excellent. I can't wait to see your future reactions ! You made a good first impression, so I definitely subscribed. I'm convinced your channel is just gonna keep on growing. Greetings from France ! 😊

[@askesismusic]

For the time thing: there are no 2 timelines, just one that isn't linear. There would have been 2 timelines if they had acted differently when going back.

[@closeempress8213]

I like the Volkswagen jokes 😂

[@phoenixfire124]

It's subtle, but in the beginning when Dursley's sister is talking bad about his mother Petunia (Harry's Aunt) actually looks pained. Before and after it's concerned / worried about what Potter will do. But in that moment it actually feels like she's uncomfortable with the topic and pained by the comments directed at her sister. Even will all her issues it's sort of a I can say mean things about my dead sister but it's not ok for anyone else to moment. At least that's how I've always read that look.
