WATCHING Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts | IS THIS THE END!? | First Time Reaction

[@joshuacoldwater]

39:02 - So they don’t talk about WHAT was happening to Emma. The British media had begun publicizing her every single move, every single day. They were taking pictures through windows, stalking parents, and following her little brother. She hit her limit when they decided to PUBLISH MULTIPLE UP-SKIRT photos of her, she was 15 years old. Her parents did NOT want her to go back, and I truly don’t blame them. The next film was delayed by 3 months while she worked out a security deal with the studio. She came back for the fanbase, she is now THE UK’S FEMALE RIGHTS REPRESENTATIVE at the United Nations. 🇺🇳

Dumbledore was also already dying. if you remember how his hand was all black. when he destroyed the ring horcrux it back fired and harmed him and was slowly killing him. if i remember correctly on the books snape gave him like 6 months to a year or something. so it was also really a mercy killing which could also explain the “please”.

[@AriaIsara]

Yep. The "please" was the big tell because Dumbledore wasn't the type to beg for his life. Back then after book 6 I was among the fans who were defending this theory, and that Snape was still on Dumbledore's side 😊

With all due respect guys, Dan Radcliffe (Harry)’s parents didnt want him committing to a multi-part film series that would inevitably take over his life. It had nothing to do with a dislike for wizard stuff…

[@psychedelicpegasus7587]

Yes, also originally the studio wanted the whole production to be filmed in the U.S., and Daniel Radcliffe's parents didn't want to uproot their entire lives and disrupt their son's childhood. They reconsidered the offer once the plans changed to have the entire production based in the U.K. I think filming in Leavesden studios in London meant every child actor in the cast had a much better chance of a normal childhood than they would ever have had in Hollywood.

This is for Addison - if you read the books first, it seemed like there was even MORE of a chance that Sirius could come back.

And I don’t think anyone told you but Neville could have been ‘’Harry Potter’’ when Voldemort heard of the prophecy of the child that would kill him, there were two babies that fit the description and that other babies was Neville which makes his character development so much more meaningful especially since he is the one to destroy the last orcrux which made Voldemort mortal with the sword of gryffondor

[@christiandnl]

I honestly wish this was explored more in the films. We see Neville and Luna so much in the later films, but never really get a sense of why their roles are important other than being somewhat fleshed out background characters.

[@em.415]

🤯

[@jordy9096]

Yeah but it doesn’t matter as the reason Harry survived is because Snape asked for Voldemort to spare Lily and she chose not to stand aside which then caused the sacrificial love protection. Voldemort wouldn’t have offered to let Neville’s parents live, therefore Neville would have just died as a baby.

[@7ingko]

@@jordy9096 the whole thing was actually a self-fullfilling prophecy. Neville's life played out the way it did because harry was the one voldemort went after. it wouldn't have mattered which child he chooses to kill. the one he chooses will turn out to be his downfall.

[@Violetsareblue092]

Yeah I agree, Ron could see what Harry was doing but she couldn’t, and I think most people’s instinct if they felt something being pulled out of their pocket would be to quickly grab for it. So before she noticed anything, he held her arm in case she tried to reach for it before Harry could get it. I think it was to distract her attention as well.

[@xennkevin4519]

he grabed her to get her out of the way. He wanted to protect her at the moment cause he already has kinda feelings for her

[@rfiliagaful]

Snape was fine to make the unbreakable vow with Narcissa and Bellatrix because he already knew he would have to kill Dumbledore.

They could not risk the Elder Wand getting into Voldemort's hands.

[@JeffKelly03]

Yep, this. And that's how I know the dude has good parents. Child actors are chewed up and spit out more often than not, and they knew it, so they were hesitant on letting him get locked into a decade-long franchise that could take away his childhood. And hell, to at least some, degree, they were right in being cautious given Dan suffered from alcohol abuse during the later Potter movies (he's since gotten sober and is doing fucking amazingly well).

[@hlfbldprincess]

In Tom Felton (Draco)’s book. He said Alan (Snape), Isaac (Lucius), Helena (Bellatrix) were some of the nicest people he EVER met til this day. Amazing how they play villains so well.

[@timothymuntu9027]

Dumbledore was going to die, when he put on the ring with the resurrection stone, his old search for power got the best of him and cursed his hand, if not for Snape slowing the curse he would have died sooner AND was still going to die since he could only slow the decay not stop it. So given he was going to die and did not want any of the death eaters or Draco to kill him (who beats the owner of the Elder wand becomes its owner) it was best if Snape killed him and became the owner of the wand because that way it meant Voldemort was not going to master the wand for the longest since he would not be inclined to kill snape (and he did kill him but at the very last moment had it been someone else, he probably would have come to that conclusion sooner and killed them sooner)

[@tonihagan6330]

Dumbledore was dying. He did not have long to live. He wanted Snape to have the Elder wand. But Dumbledore did not count on being disarmed by Draco.

[@getshwifty3101]

21:00 The reason why is because Hermione was standing RIGHT beside Harry, and Harry would've had to move to cast. But him walking away from his friends in the moment would've been suspicious. Ron was aware of this, and pulled Hermione a bit away, so Harry would have enough room to cast, without it catching anyone else's attention.

[@giselle5403]

It’s been confirmed that MAX is in the making of a Harry Potter TV series consisting of 7 seasons (one for each book) and it’s gonna be as accurate to the books as they can make it. So hopefully a bunch of characters the movies never mentioned, along with more screen time for Neville’s character & his families storyline. The Gaunt/Riddle family storyline would also be interesting to see played out, but who knows.

[@JessieNebulousGaming]

I may be wrong, but I THINK the reason JK Rowling wasn't featured as much as you'd expect in this video is because she's said some pretty controversial things about transgender people, to the extent that Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson have felt compelled to speak out in support of the trans community. As for the upcoming remake; personally, I don't think it's necessary, but I will watch it and try to be open-minded. I look at cinema remakes the way I do music covers, in that they're not intended to be carbon-copies, and can be enjoyed even if the creators take a different spin on it, as long as it respects the source material. If nothing else, it will introduce more people to the magic of Harry Potter and might even motivate kids to go read the books and develop a love of reading, which will of course serve them very well in life.

The thing about Sirius's death is that, in the book, it is explained that the veil he goes through is the Veil of Death. They're in the Department of Mysteries, where the government studies life's mysteries. So when Bellatrix casts the Death spell on Sirius, he goes through the Veil of Death and dies. That's why people who've read the books knew that he was dead-dead and why, even if you caught Bellatrix casting the spell in the movie, there would be confusion if you hadn't read the book.

Dumbledore’s death was arranged with Snape Dumbledore found Marvolo Gaunt’s cursed ring in the ruined hut of Voldemorts Grandfather and Dumbledore tried to put the ring on because it had the resurrection stone in it, and Dumbledore thought if he put it on, he would see his dead sister Arianna Voldemort had cursed the ring with a deadly curse snape managed to contain the curse to Dumbledore hand that’s why it went all black and dead looking, but eventually it would spread to all over his body slow and painful death so He asked Snape to kill him to save Draco’s soul but also to prevent Dumbledore from a slow, painful death and to trick Voldemort into believing that Snape was his when actually Severus was Always on Dumbledore’s side and have Harry‘s best interest at heart but without telling him

Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Felton were experienced actors pre-HP but HP is the first time acting for Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. Pre-HP, Daniel was in Great Expectation on British TV. Felton referenced his past experience in this documentary but you may have missed it because you were talking and looking at each other instead of listening and watching the film. Post-HP Tom Felton was in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" -- the first in a trilogy you might want to add to your reaction list. Since HP ended, Emma Watson has been in a couple of highly publicized movies. She gets the most publicity for her work, more star-like than others from the franchise. Rupert Grint has been in several movies and British TV as well. So has Matthew Lewis (Neville). Tom Felton has been in several movie and the TV series The Flash. Daniel has been working continuously as an actor. Even before HP ended, he was on Broadway in Equs. He was back on Broadway last year(?) in a lead role. He has been in several movies -- sometimes lead roles, sometimes supporting roles -- and he has a TV series (Miracle Workers) that I love. Most (not all) of his film work comes out of England, not Hollywood. His roles have varied and are very much NOT Harry Potter. It's not unusual that non-American actors who are serious about their craft just want to keep working. Fame/stardom is not their goal. They're all about their craft and doing the work.

Dumbledore knew Snape would be contacted by the death eaters to watch over Draco's attempt to kill him, that is why he asks Snape to do it because not only would this protect Draco from irreparable harm, but it would ultimately prove Snape's loyalty to the Dark Lord as well. Dumbledore was already a dead man walking from drinking the poison for the horrorkrux in the cave. His body was decaying (hence the black hand). He says "please" to make Snape do it without more hesitation 'cause he knew the part and outplay Snape would have to the story, that's why he asks him to do it "when the time is right" so that the wand would fall into a trusted ally and lifelong friend 'cause he would be not the first one to get killed by Voldemort and by killing Dumbledore he proves himself worthy for the death eaters. Snape doesn't want to do it, he says so and he struggles with the decision made by Dumbledore, but he knows it has do be him and since he loved Lily and would do anything to protect her child (Harry) he does as Dumbledore asks. Remember that Dumbledore had the time turner (the one he lent to Hermoine in the third movie/book), so he knew what choices and sacrifices that had to be done to defeat The Dark Lord. You guys really should read the books!

[@marcelleaf6920]

Love you guys for your reactions on a beloved series. I get why you are not in for the new show (where every book is one season) - but for me, it is so awesome, and I cannot wait to watch it! My Grandma gifted me the first book back in 1997 and I was so in love with that since then - I got bullied in school for reading Harry Potter. Every time a new book got published I was at those big events - where you could buy it right at midnight - I dressed up as Harry and started reading the book that night. It was magical and I want it to never stop. Also in the new show they have time to do all the things and show all the characters the films missed out on (Peeves, Winky and show more from the classes) and most importantly Snapes test in the sorceres stone. There is so much more for us to see. I cannot wait!

[@romy1223]

It’s not about the unbreakable vow … dumbledore told snake to kill him so Draco doesn’t have to … he was dying anyway and had less than a year to live because of the hand infection from trying to get rid of the ring horcrux. He was trying to save Draco’s soul. But yes snape killing dumbledore also fulfilled his vow to Draco’s mom (but that was secondary)

[@lyricmezzosoprano5357]

My son read the first Harry Potter book at 7/8 and watched the movie. I let him read them slowly, about 6 months apart. I had intended on spreading it out further so he was closer to 14/15 when he finished them, but like you said about maturity level, he was a very thoughtful and mature kid and also the series was really helping him meet his reading goals at school, which was something he’d been struggling with.

I felt so empty after watching the last movie in cinema because it was all my childhood coming to a terms but something incredible happened in the room everybody clapped their hands during the credits ❤ my heart was full again also when watching this reunion film. It was more of a moving on thing than an end like it felt before.

[@GooseVF-0918]

With Snape killing Dumbledore, when he said please, he wanted Snape to do it and make it quick knowing the year was almost up and he was going to die because of the curse of the Horcrux ring at the beginning of the year. He also had discussed the possibility of bellatrix and the death eaters being present and torturing him and he asked snape to do it so it wouldn’t take Draco’s innocence as well as giving bellatrix the opportunity to torture dumbledore. He wanted a respectful honorable death in that situation and that’s why snape had said “I don’t want to do this anymore” and Dumbledore stated “whether or not you want to is irrelevant” As Harry walked up to the tower before they left to get the fake horcrux in the cave. Dumbledore had already known that Voldemort assigned Draco to kill him before Snape made the unbreakable vow. That’s why he told Draco’s mother he was aware of the situation. Snape had already told Dumbledore and that is why Snape was confident making the Unbreakable vow

[@jrjones029]

I have loved rewatching these movies with you guys! You got me laughing so much.

[@jt26_3]

Yall needa watch fantastic beasts now. It’s the wizarding world in the 1920s. There’s also a book that’s a stage play about Harry’s sons first year at Hogwarts

[@HannibalFan52]

The chapter of 'Order of the Phoenix' book in which Sirius dies in entitled 'Beyond the Veil'. To say a person has gone 'beyond the veil' is a euphemism for having died. Snape was able to work within the Unbreakable Vow to do what Dumbledore asked of him. Part of the Vow was to watch over and protect Draco, which he has no problem doing, from either standpoint. The third part was to complete Draco's task if Draco was unable to do it himself. Since Draco's task was to kill Dumbledore, and Snape had already been told by Dumbledore (knowing that he already was marked for death) that Snape had to be the one to kill him (which the audience didn't know at the time), Snape had no problem keeping that part of the Vow either. I think that the only reason Snape hesitated for a moment was that he had great respect for Dumbledore and his ability to think so far ahead.

[@laureneliza2437]

When you put it to a full screen for the names of the people who have passed away was a beautiful touch to this video. Love your videos, you need to read the books, there’s so much more!!!

[@AnUntoldStoryMedia]

I think Ron grabbing Hermione's sleeve was more being prepared to pull Hermione out the way once the wand was clear. No one was about to tell Harry he couldn't give them the smoke right then

[@lellepad]

This was so nostalgic to watch with you guys. I absolutely got teary eyed watching. Would love to see you guys react to the Potter Puppet Pals now for some light content. The Mysterious Ticking Noise is the best imo.

[@RVGrannyWA]

Robbie Coltrane was a big favorite of mine long before his Hagrid role. Before I got hooked on Potter, I was a big BBC fan and knew a lot of the actors from their other roles. Dawn French as the Fat Lady was a great surprise.

[@salmashalaby528]

32:42 you’re definitely NOT the only one who thought Sirius could come back. Even *Harry* himself thought so in the book, because going through the veil made it seem not final. He kept thinking he’d come back from behind the veil, then even when he became sure he’s gone, he was hopeful he could come back as a ghost and went to ask Nearly Headless Nick about it.

[@katjsh]

The wand thing with ron holding her arm i think was a nod to the changes from the book to movie. It was done that way so all 3 of them had a part in Harry stunning snape...in the book they all stun stun him together

[@lisaamiro1062]

The death of Dumbledore - he was dying a painful death anyway, and asked Snspe to be the one to kill him to not only alleve his pain, but also put Snape in a position to strengthen his false allegiance to Voldemort. Dumbledore knew Draco was tasked to kill him,and he didn't want Draco to taint his soul with an unforgivable curse. Snape knew all this before he took the vow with Bellatrix.

[@TeshiMeshi]

Also,because of the curse of the horcrux ring dumbledore was doomed to die anyway. Snape followed the plan as dumbledore set out. He was loyal to that . Harry and hermoine dancing is so sweet. I love how pure their friendhip is because they prove you can be best friends as a male and female they don't have to be together

[@notthatisis]

Aight, a couple things: 1) y'all officially need to read the books (get them secondhand because JK done messed up--it's the reason why she's only featured in archival footage in the reunion), 2) Emma has done more things sure, but pretty much immediately after HP was done Daniel started doing theatre. He's been in indie films and ,TV and he's currently in Merrily We Roll Along on Broadway.

Garry Oldman, (Serious Black) some of his work, just for your info "JFK (1991), Bramstokers Dracula (1992) Léon (1994) The Fifth Element (1997), Air Force one (1997) Batman Begins (2005), Dark Knight (2008) and Dark Knight rises (2012), Robo cop (2014), Killers Boddyguard (2017), Killers Boddyguard 2 (2021) Oppenheimer (2023) and thats just the movies i know, i remember that he did a movie sometimes two, every single Year since the late 1980s and he did so much more. I also recognized his voice in the Game Call of Duty: World at War and Black Ops.

[@KayP23DoReMi]

Dumbledore was already dying due to wearing the ring that was a horocrux. It was a small clip in Snapes memories that he gives Harry. He tells Dumbledore that he has months left. Since he was going to die anyway, they decided to use it to give Snape more credit with Voldemort.

In regards to Ron pulling Hermione's sleeve was more because he saw Harry grab the wand and knew what was about to go down so he was protectively pulling her to move her whole body towards him and away from harry.

The reason JK isn't in this is because she's made numerous offensive comments about the trans community that many of the main cast has spoken out against, and they refuse to work with her again.

[@kims5512]

After Dumbledore's death, Snape is now "loyal" and free and clear off Voldemort radar being as he's double agent. Dumbledore's grand plan and scheme of events was carried out by his talking portrait in Headmaster Snapes now-office. All portraits of people retain their characteristics and can move between paintings and communicate freely, I imagine Dumbledore imbued a couple special features into his. Snape + Dumbledore's planning is also how the sword of Gryffindor ends up in the lake, away from the Ministry's scrutiny, Harry being led by the doe patronus.

Addison’s continued hatred for Bellatrix still cracks me up so much. I’ve really enjoyed watching you guys react to this whole series
