Fun fact: Jamie Waylett(Crabbe) forgot he was supposed to remain seated and angry during the house cup scene and began to stand and clap. Tom Felton(Malfoy) saw this and yanked him back down to prevent the shot from being ruined. It was kept in the movie because the director Chris Columbus and Rowling herself thought it fit the natures of both characters. Also, wanna feel old? Daniel Radlciffe(Harry), Rupert Grint(Ron) and Bonnie Wright(Ginny) are all parents now.

[@hillrp1]

My piece of trivia about this movie: For the end of the Chess game, the movie producers asked IM Jeremy Silman to construct a puzzle where Ron's sequence was the correct move. But in the puzzle Silman came up with, there are actually 2 ways to force mate in 3 moves. Ron didn't have to sacrifice himself. But the other way to win required sacrificing the piece that was Harry. Ron chose to sacrifice himself in stead. Unfortunately, in the movie you never see a wideshot of the board, so you can't tell any of this.

I'm a Ravenclaw myself, it's for all the students who value intelligence, wit, creativity and the like. So that suits me quite well. Also, their dormatory is gorgeous, lots of natural light, a great view over the school ground, what more can you want?

I think Ravenclaws true values are more like curiosity and creativity. You can be unintelligent and be a Ravenclaw so long as you want to learn and seek out new information.

Wands have 2 different attributes: -Wood (Elder, Elm, Oak, etc) -Core (Dragon, Unicorn, Serpent, etc) Sometimes lengths and stuff come into play as well I believe.

Also the amount of bend each has can be different.

There’s a theory that at 45:06 Snape had that reaction when looking at Potter and saying “up to something” because he actually entered and read Harry’s mind

Glad to see Rana's love for HP rival my own! I also grew up with these movies, and when I started to notice them omitting things from the books, I was really upset. Its hard to take such dense material and have to condense it into a 2.5hr movie, that's why I am looking forward to the new series. With them having multiple seasons, it will give them the leeway to tell the entire story, bits and balls. LOVE these reactions, KEEP EM COMING! !

Looking back on it now, it's crazy to think that when Snape said: "People would think you're up to something." and looked at Harry with that frowning look, he did Occlumency on Harry and saw what Harry knew about the Stone and that Harry thinks it's him, Snape, trying to steal it, while Snape is secretly stopping Quirrel because Dumbledore already knew what was up and set it up like a test for Harry. This ish is wild 😭😭

[@endless013]

Out of this entire movie having separate Houses within the same school is the most realistic part for me. Back in the early 90's I went to a school that no longer exists (Fredrick Douglass MS) and we had color coded houses, on the second floor was Blue House and Red House and the Third Floor was Green House and Gold House (I was Gold House).

[@30goals]

Aside from the very irritating beginning and end, the reaction was hugely entertaining - I kinda assumed Pat and Spidey would be more sarkey and dismissive, but they gave it a good shot and got invested, and the dynamic was so fun to watch.

[@cazb3729]

I was literally just at the Warner Brothers Studio Tour London this weekend just gone and I know you guys would love seeing the actual sets! Its also devastating to realise so many of the cast have passed away now as well 😭

[@sivonni]

Regarding the house cup, in the books it was made clear the other teachers were straightforward in awarding and taking away House points, but not Snape. McGonagall was the Head of Gryffindor but was harsh to her own students when taking away points. But Snape, as the head of Slytherin, would take away points for things like Hermione knowing all the answers or for students breathing too loud. Of course, Slytherin would have a huge lead.

[@serenshadow89]

Pat identifying as a Slytherin with no real knowledge of the houses and what they stand for is such a Slytherin thing to do. Pat, you are definitely Slytherin. I would be shocked if you took the sorting quiz and didn't get Slytherin. Which is something you guys should definitely do a reaction for.... you should all take the most recent sorting and wand quiz on the website!

[@felwalkr_94]

6:30 It's probably even more magical (or disturbing) when you Google after the movie that SNAKES DON'T EVEN HAVE EYELIDS. HOW DID IT W I N K ? ? ?

[@Mysterios1989]

Funnily enough, this movie has two versions, the standard English version and the American version. The English version has the word "Philosopher's stone", while the American publishers thought the term philosopher would scare the American kids from reading it. So, they rerecorded all scenes where the stone was mentioned, and they are only shown in the American version.

Imma be real -- i dont use twitter so i feel so out of the loop and none of the tweets i have seen have shown much transphobia, but it is almost set in stone now -- one day she wasnt one day she was -- my biggest problem with her was her save worldbuilding near the end and somewhat fumbling of characters -- but the initial character creation and worldbuilding is some of the best --- However, can someone inform me on how exactly she was transphobic because i really cant quite understand

[@ShiroKage009]

Hogwarts is modeled after the University of Oxford. Oxford is divided into colleges with on campus accommodation for the students. That's what the "houses" are supposed to be modeled after. When you're admitted to Oxford, the admissions office has to find you a seat at one of the colleges, and so you don't get a choice in which college you belong to. The colleges are the ones that have all the facilities for you, like dining halls, common rooms, college-exclusive libraries, academic support, administration, ... etc.

[@deathswitch2404]

Let me preface this by saying I am Trans. People who call JKR transphobic clearly didn't actually read what she has said & just read articles about what she read. She said nothing transphobic. She just voiced concern that pre-transition trans women shouldn't share sports or changing rooms/toilets with cis women & that trans women aren't real women; because we aren't. We are trans women. That was literally it & as a victim of abuse from a previous relationship, no grace & no hand was was extended to her or time taken to explain anything. They way the twitter mob & mainstream media deliberately mischaracterised her concerns was disgusting to witness in real time. Not sure how anyone can read/watch this series about not judging a book by its cover and how love always wins and say the person writing it doesn't understand or live by these themes.

So to give the boys some context on the differences between the houses and why people identify themselves with a particular house... each House represents different principals and the students within that house tend to have certain personality traits. Gryffindor - Gryffindors are the most popular house - which, of course they are. Not only are our main set of characters in that house, Gryffindor stands for courage, honor, and chivalry - all great qualities to have.... usually. Gryffindors are basically the popular group. They are the jocks, leaders, and champions. They tend to fill roles in government and law enforcement - and indeed, would also be beat-cops and the ones on the front lines. Where Slytherins are sneaky, Gryffindors are right in your path. Where Ravenclaws are more mindfully focused on study or art and what new things they can learn or create, Gryffindors are present and grounded. Where Hufflepuffs are unassuming, pacifistic, and keep to the background, Gryffindors are bold and brass and loud. They are the heroes and saviors - but they can also be arrogant and overly prideful. Hufflepuff - Hufflepuffs are not the most disliked - they merely are the most unassuming so people assume that they are the pathetic house. They don't get attention because they don't crave attention. Hufflepuffs are the backbones of the wizarding world - or at least, the European division. They are imo, the best house. They are the ride-or-dies. They are loyal, hard-working, caring, and modest. They achieve great things but unlike the other houses - they don't constantly boast those achievements. They are the healers (nurses and doctors, basically), teachers, herbologists, mediators, veterinarians, and fill other roles where they can do the greater good - but behind the scenes. They value hard work, friendship, family, and peace - but are not above becoming a soldier if its necessary. They probably stay out of politics but I imagine they would fill the equivalent role of a beat-cop in wizarding law enforcement. They would def be the ones to deescalate the situation to avoid bloodshed while the others would shoot first and ask questions later. Ravenclaw - There are two types of Ravenclaws, imo... the brainiacs and the artists. They are the scientists, historians, teachers, reporters, and likely fill analytical and communications roles in politics and law enforcement. They value intelligence and creativity. Slytherin - While dark wizards are proportionally more Slytherin than the other houses, not every Slytherin is evil. Slytherins tend to be a mix of ambitious, selfish, and cunning - for some, this does develop into a charming and manipulative personality but others find a way to use that drive for the greater good. Slytherins often grow up to be the politicians, teachers, lawyers, and like Severus, spies and whatever they would call an undercover cop. Many Slytherins come from rich, affluent, and "pure" families where they are raised to go bad and continue the evil their families commit but some do manage to break away from that.

I recently found out that, from a friend, that after this movie, we barely see the sun for the rest of the series.

[@brianalambert1192]

With the Harry Potter series, I was hooked when they said "You're the boy who lived." I of course knew the story was famous and there were wizards and that Harry was the chosen one character. But for 12 year old me, the idea of being famous for surviving murdering psychopath was both heartwarming and inherently disturbing. It would be like being famous because you were the sole person to escape a notorious serial killer or survive a terrorist attack. All I knew was that even as a kid I looked at that and said "Ok, that's different and intriguing." What I've come to realize now after analyzing the whole series, that's actually a major reason why Harry is probably one of the best Chosen One stories. There is nothing special about him. He is a normal kid that by sheer luck survived a horrific tragedy, and everyone expects him to be amazing as a result. But he's not. The only thing that makes Harry special is how good of a person he is; with the home life he had, it's a miracle he had any shred of decency in him, with his first action on the Hogwarts Express being to share his candy with a kid he befriended. Harry is bound to become the Chosen One because of who he is as a person, a hero. That is such a rare move to take with these stories. Usually the chosen one has a special power, or a special bloodline, or whatever that makes them the hero of the story. But Harry's the hero by his own morals that require him to act when things are set in motion. I've explained this better in the past, but that's the gist of it. I love how Harry's greatest strength is how much of a good, courageous, and strong person he is

A buddy of mine actually won 4 tickets through some sweepstakes to watch Harry Potter & the Sorcerers Stone in a private showing before it premiered in theaters officially a few days later. I almost didn't get a ticket because before this I hadn't even heard of Harry Potter, but I got lucky & happened to have been staying at his house for that particular weekend & was actually supposed go home when they left for the theater, but as it turns out the friend that was supposed to get the ticket got himself grounded last minute & the ticket became mine. So basically I became a Harry Potter fan on November 11th, 2001. lmao

imo i think it would be better for first time watchers to just react to it naturally and for girls to hold onto their nostalgia and excitement tad a bit low cause its distracting and forces others to react...otherwise i love that you guys are doing this

[@martingerlach_1990]

Harry Potter’s wand is made of holly wood and has a core of a phoenix feather, which also comes from Fawkes. Hermione Granger’s wand is made of vine wood and has a core of dragon heartstring. Ron Weasley’s second wand is made of willow wood and has a core of unicorn tail hair because his first wand cannot work properly well. Lord Voldemort’s wand is made of yew wood and has a core of a phoenix feather, which also comes from Fawkes. Albus Dumbledore has the Elder Wand: an elder tree and the core of a tail hair of a Threstal.

If you think anyone should be "cancelled" for their views then PLEASE by all means don't watch their work. You shouldn't get to enjoy their work while your other hand's trying to erase them from history. If you can't separate someone's views from the good work they did, and you think treating people that way is right, then stand by it.

This is the first time I’ve watched the version of Harry Potter where it’s ‘sorcerers stone’ 😂 feels wierd

[@rich-cm7nl]

Pat and spidey were such good reactors for this series😂

[@rhondaturner9494]

"This can't be real," lol - I love that! When I was a kid, my dad used to watch Star Trek and he would always say: "Well, THAT's not very realistic" - and I would find myself pointing out that he was watching a show with made up creatures travelling through space (and, sometimes, time itself). We lose ourselves so completely in stories that sometimes we forget it's a story and that's the fun of it!!! Very cool reaction!

[@In-The-Zone]

Obligatory comment that the sorcerer stone is actually the philosopher's stone. It was changed for American publication of the book because they thought Americans would be too stupid to comprehend the word and be confused why its magical... even though they explain what it is.

[@Sinnathan]

They thought American kids would think the book to be boring, not confusing.

Yeah, in the books, Fang was a Great Dane (though they used the other term for Great Danes, which is "boar hound"), but the dog in the movies is actually a Neapolitan Mastiff.

Jk Rowling is not transphobic and that’s disgusting for you to help spread those lies just because she feels that it takes away from women’s advancements for anyone to be able to call themselves a woman doesn’t make her transphobic at all. I think your group needs to educate yourselves first before spreading such hate.

[@Sloane77]

How is tweeting ‘supporting trans rights is supporting the rape of women.’ Not transphobic. Fucking own your bigotry and stop gaslighting trans people and just leave us the fuck alone.

[@christopherb501]

Might want to educate yourself on who she's been networking with, then. Folks like, say...the Daily Wire, which can't ever shut about women "going too far", or that Posey Parker twit, recently setting off a storm of controversy in Australia when literal N_z_s popped out of the woodwork to support her anti-trans screed and she openly declared she wasn't fighting for feminism. Seems to me in her anti-trans crusade, she's been palling around with quite a few people that hate ANY women having rights, and actively try to roll back even having the vote. Just noting.

The food if actually made and placed on identical tables in the kitchens below the great hall and then magically transported. Gamps law of elemental transfiguration states you cannot make food from nothing.

Best way to describe the houses I think is as follows: Slytherin: Cunning and ambitious. They aren't technically supposed to be evil, but they've got big ambitions and will do whatever it takes to achieve them. Gryffindor: Courageous and independent. They're basically the jocks and rulebreakers. Them and Slytherin are the most competitive of the houses. Ravenclaw: Intellectual and introspective. The password to enter their common room is literally just answering a riddle, so anyone who is smart enough can get in. Hufflepuff: Loyal and Dependable. These guys make the best friends but they are also the least ambitious of the four houses. They always come in last place in every competition but the most popular guy in school at one point was a Hufflepuff. Personally, I'm a Hufflepuff, probably due to my lack of ambition and belief in standing up for your friends, but to be honest, I imagine most people could realistically fit into at least two or three of the houses if not all four. Humans are ultimately complex beings with many different facets to their personality, so grouping them into narrow stereotypes doesn't realistically work.

[@tortoiseoflegends4466]

They aren't supposed to be evil, but literally every single student Slytherin we meet in the movies and books is a blood supremacist. All the adults too, with one exception. Every single Slytherin also decided to hide instead of fight in the battle of hogwarts. Slytherin fuckin sucks lol.

[@silverswordsmith5424]

@@tortoiseoflegends4466 Yeah, it's pretty unfortuante they were written that way. Contrarily, at the Battle of Hogwarts it was mentioned that every single Hufflepuff refused to evacuate and stayed behind to help fight, even the first years who wouldn't have been good for anything other than being cannon fodder.

[@juno_lii]

me a gryffindor who literally lacks bravery and doesn't take risks 🤡...i don't get how I got sorted into this house because I'm not even close to being what makes a gryffindor a gryffindor lol...slytherin is such a cool house it's just that for the plot the house gets shit on... which sucks because I really wanted to see a good slytherin student fighting alongside the golden trio..

Jk rowling is not transphobic, she simply stated that PADS and MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS are meant for BIOLOGICAL WOMEN, which is a simple fact. No matter what you identify as, it doesn’t change the fact that menstrual products are meant for females. What is transphobic about that?
