For anyone wondering why audio cuts out certain parts, it's because I had to remove a lot of the music due to copyright. Sad because the music in this one is so powerful and really drives the emotion in the story/movie overall. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy this one, I apologize for how long you had to wait!

[@lka9900]

Everyone starts Harry Potter with such innocence and like, ok sure a happy story about a kid wizard whatever it’s cute, and then fast forward to Goblet of Fire and the tears just keep on coming with each subsequent book/movie lol When it came out we all grew up alongside the characters so it kind of lined up perfectly to set us free as adults when the seventh book and then movie came out. It was super weird to just be like, “so… it’s over now?” because it had been a decade of our childhood/adolescence. The end of HBP felt like a shockwave. For books 5, 6, and 7 everyone who got them the weekend they were released had to hole up for the day because people started doing spoilers everywhere. So I remember my college campus was empty the weekend book 7 came out because everyone was inside reading it lol what a time to be alive

[@amandawarr9838]

"I know the terminology." 2 seconds later: "Oh it's the mark thing."

[@AubreyAuthor]

Liquid luck is illegal to use in sporting events. That’s why he could be expelled for it.

[@JakeReactsYT]

Thats makes sense 😅

[@hectorsmommy1717]

Magic of any kind is also illegal to use. Hermione was able to use the confundus charm on Cormac because it was just a tryout, not an actual event. Not sure how they would know but there might be some type of magical detection system in place. On the other hand, if there were Quirrel's spell on Harry's broom in the first movie would have been noticed.

[@lokiplays6868]

That guy was in fact a werewolf. His name is Fenrir Greyback and he was the werewolf who turned Lupin. It's not a spoiler because they don't include this in the movies for some reason.

[@JakeReactsYT]

Yeah when I saw him I immediately felt like he was one or something close to it

[@SorcererLord]

All magical children start to display uncontrolled magic powers when they're young, it's not specific to Harry and Volkswagen.

[@andrewguenther988]

If I remember correctly, Neville's uncle forced him to exhibit magic as a young child by throwing him out a high window. Neville bounced when he hit the ground instead of splattering.

[@lisaisaprincess23]

But first, to @SorcererLord for the smooth usage of the word 'Volkwagen' this comment board has ever seen, I award your house 20 points 🙃

They don’t talk to snakes though. And they cant “make animals do what I want without training them". Those aren’t usual things. Harry didn’t make the snake do anything as a kid. He could just talk to it.

[@SorcererLord]

@@lisaisaprincess23 Thanks a lot, 20 points to Slytherin, great! Hopefully we win the House Cup this year!

[@KineticSymphony]

Keep in mind, when Dumbledore fought against Voldemort in the Ministry, he was aware that Voldemort had at least one Horcrux, he just didn't know how many. So he wasn't trying to kill him, he knew if he did, he'd only become fickle again, harder to trace. Personally, I think in a 1vs1 without a Horcrux, Dumbledore fairly easily takes the fight. His only goal in that moment was stalling so that the auror's would come and confirm that Voldemort was indeed back.

[@Alexa_hope]

yup, the reason why I like James more than Snape, is because no matter how arrogant and disobedient James is he never crossed over to the dark side, he even joined as a member of the order, unlike Snape who crossed over to that side, and even after growing up and becoming a teacher he did bad things to his students just because he was bullied in the past. OK, maybe he hated Harry because he was too much like his father, but he turned a blind eye to the fact that Harry wasn't as arrogant as his father, he even acted mean to other students (let alone Neville) who had never had any dealings with him, mocking him for being incompetent, not even acknowledged Hermione's obvious intelligence. in the book harry argues with dumbledore asking what really makes him believe that snape has changed and repented. It was pretty emotional.

[@dhruvipatel4009]

After Dumbledore’s death, Fawkes was never seen at hogwarts again. He had stayed all these years because of his loyalty to Dumbledore. Hogwarts never heard the phoenix song again. Fun fact: the phoenix feather that’s in Harry’s and Voldemort’s wands are Fawkes feathers

[@JakeReactsYT]

Wow! That’s a really beautiful connection

[@Youtubintheuser]

16:16 “is that Miranda Crosgrove??” I thought I was forever alone in seeing that too!!! 😂 I feel so validated.

[@JakeReactsYT]

Hahaha literally thought it was her 😂😂

[@rowanjoy419]

Because at the end of the last movie, Malfoy try to get the "prophecy" and failed and got capture and sent to Azkaban, Voldemort being who he is, give Draco the "opportunity" to bring his family honor back. If you think about it, Voldemort sent a 16 year old with the mission to killed a wizard that even himself was afraid of, he knew Draco was not going to be able to do it, he just wanted to humiliate the Malfoys even more.

[@zoookoo]

Wow I've watched these movies for so many years now and didn't see it that way. It's so fun learning how others pick up on stuff or see it in a different way. I knew he was punishing Lucius failing but I didn't imagine Voldy knew Draco wouldn't be able to do it and when he doesn't he can further punish Lucius by unaliving Draco if he fails. 😮

[@janchi_stephanchi]

The reason why Snape is Half Blood Prince is not only because of his muggle father, but also because his mum's maiden name was Eileen Prince. The name suggest it was likely aristocratic pure-blood family. It also hints at the most famous book of Niccolò Machiavelli "The Prince", which is known as a manual to power by cunning, scheming and unscrupulous methods.

[@JakeReactsYT]

Very interesting, thank you for sharing 😊

[@shimmeries]

His father was also an awful person. Granted, Half-Blood Prince sounds way cooler than Half-Blood Snape, but I also think the nickname was a way of distancing himself from his abusive father. Remus also said he never used the nickname publicly,so I think it was just like a comfort thing for him personally, like a reminder that he is his mother's son despite having his father's name

[@KatBee00]

I'm really impressed you picked up that guy was a werewolf. The movie doesn't clarify it's grey back - the most dangerous warewolf who bites people even when he's not turned

The portal that Sirius went through was the veil between the world of the living and the world of the dead. These reactions of yours are fantastic - intelligent and fun. You figure things out very quickly! Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@CoffeeBrainzz]

This room is also called the Death Chamber, the Ministry probably tossed criminals through as their death sentence since they wouldn't use the Avada spell. In Fantastic Beasts we also saw MACUSA have their own form of Death Chamber

[@jarius3604]

The movie hinted at it when Harry and Luna were the only ones who could hear voices coming from it. The same ones who can see thestrals.

[@michaelklaus]

@@jarius3604 I found it really weird that movie-Neville apparently cannot see them die while book-Neville told Umbridge during her investigation of Hagrid's calls that he saw his grandfather die and could therefore see them. Later in the Death Chamber he is the third one who can hear the whisper behind the veil. IIRC he is the only one not wanting to walk through it and it is left open if he fears it or isn't drawn towards it like the other two.

[@JakeReactsYT]

Appreciate you 😁

[@aaronbeatdown]

@@michaelklaus Probably just a choice. The two Harry and Luna scenes are more about setting up Luna and connecting her to Harry since she's just being introduced, whereas Neville has been there from day one. Later at the veil, she says she hears it too so we know it's not just a Harry thing, but a death thing. You don't need a third person to chime in for that.

[@frakte]

Fun fact: Tom Riddle as a child is played by Hero Fiennes Tiffin, whose uncle Ralph Fiennes plays adult Voldemort. And I really recommend the audiobooks. Half-Blood Prince, in particular, goes into Tom Riddle’s family background, which this movie didn’t. His family was, shall we say, “interesting”.

[@di3486]

That kid was amazing.

[@petersmyth6739]

The audio books read by Stephen Fry are a work of art in their own right.

[@SnowDeerling]

I wish they’d had the scenes about his family in the movie. Fun fact: the actor who played Tom Riddle in the Chamber of Secrets was supposed to play Volkswagen’s father, since he was too old to play Tom in school again.

[@zoookoo]

When I read the book the first time last year when I decided to read the whole series the story of his family, his mother's side was crazy and I got mad they left it out of the movie! Hoping the new series will include all the bits that were taken out from the movies

[@44kni]

@@petersmyth6739 yup! i've listened them countless times they're SO GOOD!!

[@Sam-xn5kt]

The rock in the sea looked familiar to you because there was a picture of it on the wall in the memory where Dumbledore first met Tom Riddle in his room. That place held meaning to Tom Riddle and I believe he hurt two other kids in the cave which is how Dumbledore knew to go there to find a horcrux.

[@JakeReactsYT]

I noticed that while editing, I knew I wasn’t crazy 😂

[@teatx6du]

36:27 in the books, the fight between Voldemort and Dumbledore is actually pretty different - in the movie they are evenly matches, countering each others magic. In the book, its basically Dumbledore throwing magic and countering Voldemorts attacks while Voldemort defends himself. It’s less dramatic in the book so I understand why they changed it up for the movie, but reading the book you do get the sense why Dumbledore was the only person Voldemort feared.

[@folamimorris574]

"Oh my God he is a kid. Oh, he is an extremely creepy kid." I died laughing.

[@scarlett.23]

On the horcruxes, the book gives us more explanation. Dumbledore assumes that Voldy was obsessed with the magical number 7, so he wanted to divide his soul into 7 parts specifically. 1 part is Voldemort Prime - the part inside his body. So there must be 6 horcruxes, according to Dumbledore’s logic. We saw the diary and the ring (Dumbledore actually destroyed the ring already, and Harry destroyed the Diary). SO it means Harry must find 4 more

[@chris...9497]

In the Pensieve, Harry views Dumbledore meeting young Tommy Riddle Jr. On the windowsill sits seven stones. On the wall is a photo of the 'rock' in the ocean, where the cave is they went to to get the locket horcrux.

[@jonathandellicolli149]

I dont know if anyone already said about this, but when harry and Dumbledore returned from the cave and Dumbledore realized what was gonna happen, he said to harry to get under the invisibility cloak and petrified him. Thats why he didn't interferred.

[@YenellyT]

There were hints of ginny and harry in the books for sure, on the movies it was usually hits of ginny liking harry

[@rowanjoy419]

You can kill many people, but a Horrocrux you must do something during or after you have kill the person so that part of your soul that is separating from the main, can get out of your body and be place in the object. Lord Voldemort did 6 horrocruxes, so there are 6 objects, 7 parts if we count Voldemort himself. 😉

[@SixFour0391]

I always wondered about that too! Thanks!

[@musitianreyes]

We don't allow what you have to do but apparently the original transcript that JK Rowling submitted gave details on how it was done and it was apparently so gruesome that the editor had to have it cut after the editor was almost sick from reading it

[@chris...9497]

Horcrux math. X pieces minus 1 to keep in the body equals X-1 horcruxes you can make.

[@qs2668]

Daniel Radcliffe's acting when he's under Felix Felicis is soooo good, he has such great comedic timing!

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

Professor Dumbledore's death was one of the most traumatic for Harry to witness. Right alongside his parents' murder at the hands of Voldemort when he was 15 months old, Cedric Diggory at the ratty (pun fully intended) hands of Wormtail during the last task of the Triwizard Tournament in that graveyard, and Sirius dying at the hands of his psychotic cousin Bellatrix Lestrange before he disappeared into the Veil in the Ministry Of Magic. Also, this is one of the few times Ron is shown to be intelligent in the movies. The scene on the Hogwarts Express where he's explaining the Unbreakable Vow to Harry, specifically. The wizard's chess scenes from Philosopher's Stone is another. I think another good example is the good questions he was asking in Chamber Of Secrets when Harry found that crumpled up book page in Hermione's hand.

[@KhrlIRD45]

A child who has magical talent from the age of 7 to 11 can cast his magic only in times of urgency. Meanwhile, Tom Riddle has been able to control his magic since childhood Even his friends his age don't want to be friends with him. And when Dumbledore demonstrated magic in front of him for the first time, little Tom was very scared

[@user-blob]

He wasn’t scared of the magic. He was scared because Dumbledore’s spell revealed his wrong doing.

[@KhrlIRD45]

@@user-blob It was clear he was afraid, in the book the only thing that made Dumbledore miss Tom was when he felt afraid when he wanted to open the Wardrobe that was enchanted by Dumbledore.

[@thorinoakenshield217]

You were right to say that Dumbledore never did this kind of magic against Voldemort, because in the movies they want to make the duell look more even. They wanted to make Voldemort look more like a real menace...in the books Dumbledore was playing with Voldemort! 🧙🏻‍♂️😂

They make Ron so dirty in the movies. Hermione and Harry were top of the class of potion and were always invited to Slughorn's parties and that make him feel left out. Then he saw Ginny kissing Dean and went to told her to "do it in private" and she got upset and told him that he would not be acting like this if wsn't because he has never had a girlfriend unlike Harry that had Cho and Hermione that had Viktor Krom. Ron felt so bad that Hermione never told him that she dated Viktor so he stop talking to her. Harry actually told BOTH of them that he didn't put liquid luck in Ron's glass, thinking this would calm everything but it backfired and Ron told Hermione that she never believed he could be good at something and went on to celebrate and then star dating Lavander. Without this context he looks like just dumb and bad overall.

[@berkguler7241]

The reason why dumbledore didnt use such powerful spells against voldemort in the 5th movie, like he did in this one is because he knew he couldnt kill him for ever and he knew that voldi would return. But in the book he played with him with such a coolness and had so much more power than voldi. In the movie it looks like dumbledore struggles against voldi and they are equal but they arent, dumbledore really played with him in the book 😂 he is a badass

In the beginning when the Death Eaters were flying about, in the books, Snape was the only one Voldermort taught to fly without a broom.

[@respawnedlife]

That is only thing that was never really touched on in the books. It is speculated that maybe Lilly knew how to fly. When she jumped from the swing she knew what she was doing to glide down gently. Snape could have learned from her and taught Tom how to. It is also hinted that Harry may have dormant flying ability. When he was being chased by bullies he found himself on the roof of the school

[@jasonsimpson1397]

Yes, there were signs for the Harry and Ginny thing in 5. When Harry decides to hang back to talk to Cho, the twins stsrt talking to him and he brushes them off, them you see Ginny with an angry look on her face.

[@sp72929]

Snape is the son of the Pureblood witch Eileen Prince who was disinherited by her family when she married a Muggle, so Snape is literally a Halblood and a Prince. His Muggle father Tobias Snape turned into a violent drunk after finding out his wife and his little son were magical and Eileen was too downbeaten to protect herself or her son from her husbands rage. In the book Harry is fascinated by the brilliant and mysterious Halfblood Prince who was an obvious prodigy at potions already improving recipes at such an young age and even inventing his own spells while still a student. Harry tries for the whole year to find out who he is. You realized correctly that there a many parallels between Harry and Voldemort - both orphans, abandoned and unloved by their family, Hogwarts being the only place to call home, intelligent and magically powerful, forced to grow up quickly without the help of adults - but there is another one who fits all of this - Snape. BTW - I am impressed you caught that little interaction in the tower between Dumbledore and Snape - most overlook it completely and you even realized that the cliff looks familiar! (if you did not figured it out where you saw it before - a postcard in little Tom Riddles room at the orphanage 🙂 You have an really great eye for details.

[@antonioyazzie4615]

So a part in the beginning of the book always stuck out to me. When Death Eater attacks increased against Muggles, despite repercussions from dark wizards or condemnation from the Muggles themselves, many witches and wizards risked their lives protecting their Muggle neighbors from attacks. They would also perform protection spells and enchantments over the homes of their Muggle neighbors. It was so selfless and caring to me.

[@yourfilin]

In the HBP book Dumbledore assumed that Tom specifically wanted to create 6 horcruxes so there will be 7 parts of his soul: 6 horcruxes and 7th in himself. It always was important for Tom to do meaningful things as 7 being very magical and powerful number. To make a horcrux you don't just have to kill a person. You also have to make a very dark ritual (some people assume the ritual contains eating a part of the victim's body). So the number of your horcruxes is not necessary the same as the number of people you've murdered. For now we have two horcruxes destroyed: Tom's diary and Tom's mother's ring destroyed by Dumbledore

[@raymagliacano6144]

Its probably been explained but the portal thing in the last movie was essentially a one way barrier between life and death.

[@Sully5443]

To add and echo regarding the Horcruxes, as the book goes into further detail. Dumbledore always had his suspicions about Horcruxes from the very beginning and became almost certain after Harry presented him with Riddle’s destroyed diary in Chamber of Secrets. The memory from Slughorn confirmed Dumbledore’s additional suspicion: Riddle made more than 1 Horcrux, likely 7 of them In the book, we get a bunch of other memories which Dumbledore uses to display: 1) Riddle always liked collecting “trophies” as a child and 2) the various objects he would have likely used to store his soul In theory, a Wizard would only ever need 1 well protected Horcrux. If your body is destroyed, your fragmented soul is tethered to the earth. All you need to do is get your body back. But Riddle wanted the ultimate insurance policy: he wanted 7 total Horcruxes as 7 is an auspicious magical number. Therefore he would split himself into 8 pieces: 1 in his body and 7 in the Horcruxes Through the memories they explore, and given what they encountered thus far, Dumbledore and Harry piece together that 1) The diary is a Horcrux and is now destroyed 2) The ring which once belonged to Salazar Slytherin and was passed down to the Gaunt family (Riddle’s maternal side) is now destroyed by Dumbledore (but it injured his hand They then theorized that Voldemort would have wanted items significant to the Hogwarts Founders. 3) There is a locket also belonging to Salazar Slytherin. This is the one they thought they got, but it was a fake. Someone else got there first (and knows about Voldemort’s Horcrux secret) and the status of the Horcrux is now unknown (as of this movie) 4) Riddle encountered a goblet which belonged to Helga Hufflepuff, therefore Dumbledore and Harry believed this to be another Horcrux 5) Then they theorized he must have gotten something belonging to Ravenclaw (but unsure of what) 6) And he must have been angling for something from Gryffindor- but the only two known artifacts of his are the sword and the Sorting Hat and therefore they believe Riddle never was able to make this one 7) They believe his snake, Nagini, is also a Horcrux as she is more connected to Voldemort than any other kind of snake could be Therefore, they theorized Voldemort only ever made 6 Horcruxes 1) The diary (destroyed) 2) The ring (destroyed) 3) The locket (MIA) 4) Hufflepuff’s goblet (location unknown) 5) Something of Ravenclaw’s (object unknown and location unknown) 6) Nagini (almost always at Voldemort’s side) It was theorized Harry would be Voldemort’s next major kill to form his 7th Horcrux. It would have been truly auspicious because Voldemort’s only reason to kill Harry was because of the Prophecy, which Voldemort learned only half of it (from Snape, in fact). Voldemort only knew a boy born at the end of July (Harry) would have the power to vanquish him. He *didn’t* hear the next part of the Prophecy which became crucial: by attacking Harry, the prophecy becomes self fulfilling. By attacking Harry, Voldemort “marked him as his equal” and set events into motion for Harry to be the “Chosen One.” The fan theory is that Voldemort was hoping to kill the Potters and, in their moment of need, the sword of Gryffindor would appear to them and he’d kill Harry and make the sword his 7th and final Horcrux. Obviously, Lily’s sacrifice caused the spell to backfire and the killing curse destroyed his body. He only managed to come back to a corporeal form thanks to the behind the scenes efforts of Peter Pettigrew and thanks to the ritual in the Graveyard and the use of Harry’s blood: his weakened corporeal form came to full strength and he’s back in action (albeit 2 Horcruxes down and 4 to go). That’s why Voldemort looks so monstrous: his soul has been voluntarily mutilated. It’s also why love and remorse and so on are even *more* insufferable for Voldemort (and the reason he can no longer peer into Harry’s mind or possess him). Harry’s blood might allow Voldemort to touch and attack Harry with magic (otherwise without it, Lily’s sacrifice would continue to protect him), but Voldemort’s mutilated soul is repulsed by love and remorse and so on. That’s the only way to repair a mutilated soul and voluntarily undo a Horcrux: true remorse (which would be excruciating and pain beyond death for anyone who makes a Horcrux, let alone 6 of them in Voldemort’s case) Anyway, if all of Voldemort’s tethers are destroyed: all that’s left is Voldemort himself. Anywho, definitely check out the books! I can assure you that even though you know what’s coming: all the extra details make it worth it *and* it’s a joy each and every time

I felt really sad when you see Fawk fly away because it was final that Dumbledore was gone. Thanks for letting us watch with you. Your words about mental health are greatly appreciated.

So, I'm not a linguist, but I think "tosser" comes from "toss pot," which referred to the night pot, where people peed at night in their homes before indoor plumbing. In the morning, they'd take the waste in the pot and toss it into the gutter of the street. I'm not sure if a tosser refers to the chore, the person performing the chore, or the waste itself, but I'm pretty sure that's where it comes from.

[@CadTrii234]

That's probably true though as language evolves, the noun tosser has become used in modern times as a term to describe a male person who self pleasures excessively or inappropriately. The verb form " tossing off" similarly now a euphemism for said act.

[@couch.patati-patata]

Brits like to use words like Pisss off and Tossss pot and ssssod off. You heard Won Won tell Harry to pisss off.

[@jenni5104]

Actually the word tosser comes from the 17th century term 'to toss off' meaning to self-pleasure. Sincerely, a Brit. 😉

[@ravenm6443]

I’ve seen other reviewers criticize Serious’s death and others because they feel so abrupt and unable to process, but I’ve always felt that that’s probably how it feels for Harry. He doesn’t really have time to process any of this because he’s always on guard, dealing with Voldemort and learning in order to prepare for Voldemort. He doesn’t even get a break when he’s sleeping.

[@askesismusic]

At the end of Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore seems much more powerful than in the film adaptation. Much more calm and confident

[@FluffySylveonBoi]

The Weasleys are truly blessed, Harry saved half of their family now.

[@chris...9497]

Molly Weasley's entire family died in the First Wizarding War, waged by Voldemort against the Wizarding World.

[@Liutgard]

The veil/portal is part of an execution chamber. Clearly not used for a long time, but still there.That room gives me the willies.

[@atorothcassidy4866]

I just found you with this so I went back and watched the whole series and I usually give reactor a single series to see if I enjoy their personality and man you hit very well on my taste, you catch everything even subtle things and because of that I'm going to start watching your GoT reactions now. I've subscribed and can't wait to see what else you watch.

[@learobinson4450]

So happy to see this! I’ll pop some popcorn & settle down to watch. There are a couple of important things that are discussed in the books but only alluded to in the movie. First, Voldemort did not expect Draco to succeed in getting rid of Dumbledore. He gave the boy the job as punishment for Lucius Malfoy’s failures, The diary Horcrux was destroyed in Lucius’s plot to open the Chamber of Secrets & then he failed to retrieve the prophecy from the Dept. of Mysteries. Voldemort was furious so he gave Draco a job he thought the boy couldn’t accomplish then told the Malfoys that he would kiII the boy if he failed. That’s why Narcissa Malfoy went to Snape. Snape knew about the plan because Voldemort, believing Draco would fail, told him with the understanding that Snape would do it after Draco tried. Second, everyone who watches the movies but doesn’t read the books is confused about the Horcruxes. Tom Riddle asked Slughorn about splitting his SOUL into 7 pieces. One piece has to remain in his body so he planned to create SIX Horcruxes. He had already made one -the ring he was wearing-so he needed to know if it was safe to split his soul again. Once Slughorn confirmed it was possible to split the soul more than once young Tom Riddle set out to make 5 more. It was the original part of his tattered soul that fled the Potter’s house after the failed attack on baby Harry. Voldemort’s body was destroyed so that piece of his soul fled to Albania & hid. Quirrel stumbled upon it while he was in Albania studying vampires & bought it back to Britain. It was that piece of his soul that Pettigrew used to resurrect Voldemort in Goblet of Fire.

[@sejbomb]

I remember reading about dumbledores death in the book and just sobbing.

[@Virginny]

In the book, it explains that voldemort wanted to split his soul into 7 pieces (it's a magic number), so there would be 6 horcruxes and then himself.

[@stefaniefreeman7541]

This movie is my favorite "drunk harry" is so freaking funny

[@seastbeast]

you literally felt about the "portal" in the last movie as Harry feels about it in the books, waiting for Sirius to return from behind the veil

[@mitullala8857]

The maxiumum you can split the soul is 7 so theres 7 horcruxes to find and the book and ring are done already 👍 great reaction & analysis once again! The HP series experience is epic

[@scarlett.23]

No, it’s not the maximum, I don’t think there is the known limit, cause before voldy, others created only 1 horcrux. He was the first to split his soul more than once

[@Lionimia]

This isn't explained in the movies and it's only mentioned briefly in the books, but Voldemort was conceived as a result of "coerced love", that is, his mother used a love potion on his father and they conceived while he was under the effects of it. After she stopped giving him the potion, he abandoned her and returned to his village. She died shortly after giving birth to Voldemort. Because of this, Voldemort doesn't know love, doesn't understand love, and is incapable of knowing love. "If he could only have understood the precise and terrible power of that sacrifice, he would not, perhaps, have dared to touch your blood... but then, if he had been able to understand, he could not have been Lord Voldemort, and might never have murdered at all." - Dumbledore, talking about Voldemort's inability to comprehend love when talking about the sacrificial protection Harry received from his mother.

[@zoookoo]

Btw Bellatrix who killed Sirius is cousins with Sirius and she is Draco aunt. She's Draco mum sister they both appear together at Snapes home 7:35 . Also that makes Sirius and Draco related! Then the lady who's with Lupin, Tonks, she is Draco's cousin!! Tonks' mum and Draco's mum are sisters Bellatrix being one of the 3rd sisters and Tonks aunt too!

[@Marvel-HP-DC]

In the story there is gone be much more plot twists. The story is crazy and at the end all get answered.

[@SweetSlytherinGirl-Jennifer]

When the book first came out, I literally stayed up all night to read the whole thing in one sitting. I was so shocked and upset by that ending, I cried myself to sleep (and skipped work the next day, lol).

[@YourNeighborhoodItalian]

Very strong message at the end, I appreciate those words. Very powerful. Another great reaction!

[@JakeReactsYT]

Thank you very much 😊

[@nivedvi2716]

Gotta say, ive been watching(and reading) this for many times. Never realized that the bird dying was a test for living things to go throught. Good job mate

[@MrPain513]

dont feel bad man, ive watched this entire series at least 1000 times and i cry everytime certain ppl die..

[@jordy9096]

Most wizarding kids can do what we’ve seen Harry do as a kid except for parseltongue of course, Neville couldn’t really. But Voldemort as a kid had exceptional control over his magic before training, to the point he was already torturing kids from his orphanage.

[@CarsonLangen]

Thanks for the fun review. Loved the Black Parade suggestion. MCR could have fit several places in this one.

[@eastcoastaj5048]

The portal: If the magical world had a death penalty, how would they do it? Think of it that way,plus remember only Luna and Harry could hear the voices because they had seen death.

[@biancatainadiasreis860]

Wizards can perform magic without a wand, which serves as a conductor. When the wizard is young, magic can get out of control due to stress, which is why there is a lot of involuntary spellwork. Harry with the disappearing glass, Tom who tortures his colleagues and even Neville whose family was afraid of not having magic and that's why an uncle threw him out the window and he floated to the ground. Once an adult, it is more difficult to do spells without a wand, some powerful wizards can do it, like Dumbledore and Voldemore, in the book the magical capacity is more in-depth

[@Tryforce8000]

I'm loving the reactions to these movies. I love that you cry so openly. I feel your emotion in the things you say. And I love your thoughts on mental health. When you're done with the movies, I highly recommend you watch Ryan George's Pitch Meetings on the movies. Even if you don't do a reaction to them. I think you'll relate to the problems he found with the movies!

[@audreyboily9953]

Even without the music (it hits every Time and its heartbreaking), im weeping all over again. This lost, after Sirius, is really a toff one. This movie is my second favorite, after the last one of course. So emotional. TKS for the video ❤

[@JakeReactsYT]

The music really did it for me, so beautiful and powerful it really embodied what I was feeling and what he meant to everyone. Thanks for being here 🙂

[@dfcarvalho]

The ring was indeed a horcrux and Dumbledore destroyed it already. In this movie he says to Harry something like "difficult to find, even more difficult to destroy" and then he raises his blackened hand.

[@nicoletras]

I love your reactions and I love people who give you info about the books so you can understand the movie better ❤I can't wait for your next HP reaction Love from Chile 😊

[@Sageddegas]

Oh just wait Jake… there are more tears to come!

[@iio_moon]

Late to the party, but yeah, all wizard children perform magic at least once whether it is intentional or not. It is how they get their name written in the upcoming student list. Hogwarts for example has the Quill of Acceptance sense the child's exhibiting sign of magic and writes their name down on the Book of Admittance. Also while all magical children perform wandless magic at some point, not all can control it and perform it at will. Few individuals are seen and stated to be able to control their magic before going to school in the books and other sources, but in riddle's case it was beyond just having control and was extraordinarily developed as stated by dumbledore in the books. Also wands are tools to make magic easier, thus letting them easily perform more potent and complex magic. But some wizards are capable of wandless magic in high quality like dumbledore, voldemort, Ugadou wizarding school students(they use wandless magic in general) and any other wizards who are talented and skilled enough to master wandless magic. Btw, I'm enjoying the reactions so much. Hp is my favorite franchise oat and I hope you plan to watch the fantastic beasts series which is also in the same universe as wizarding world of harry potter. I'm also excited to check out your got and hungergames reacts too :)

[@SofieHaugk-ew3pq]

13:55 every young wich and wizards can do magic, but can't really controle it, until they are going to hogwarts where they are learning how to do and control magic

[@stacebrewer]

'tosser' is an british slang word for 'wanker' 😂
