[@rachelbusby670]

Fun fact about the uniforms - Alfonso Cuaron really wanted to bring home the fact that the characters are teenagers now, so he told the cast to wear their Hogwarts uniform the same way they’d wear their real-life school uniform. So the cast got to choose how they tied their tie, if they tucked their shirt in or out, if they rolled their sleeves up etc, which I thought was really cool.

@Alexis M. That’s what they were going for, a lot of movies and tv shows often show kids with super neat uniforms. When in reality that’s not the case

[@s_ha2084]

so since the movies don't really go in depth about it, here's some info from the books that they didn't include.. this is just from what i remember tho so apologies if i miss some things lol when lupin was a child, an infamous werewolf named fenrir greyback had overheard lupin's father speaking ill about werewolves so as retribution he attacked his son (lupin) which ultimately turned him into a werewolf. because of this, he and his parents became concerned about how he would be able to successfully live a normal life in society and whether or not he'd be able to go to school, so dumbledore arranged a place where lupin could go every month to transform in secret--- the shrieking shack. that's why the whomping willow was planted there, so that no one else would be able to go near the entrance of the tunnel that led to the shrieking shack from the school grounds. that's also how the rumors of the shack being haunted started to arise, cause of lupin's howls and screams. lupin, sirius, james, and peter were friends and called themselves "the marauders,"-- they're the creators of the map. when snape is substituting for lupin in that one scene, he asks the students what the difference is between an "animagus" and a werewolf, in which we learn that an animagus is someone who can shapeshift into an animal at will (like sirius and professor mcgonagall) while werewolves have no choice or self awareness in their transformed state. while they were still students, the rest of the maurauders found out that lupin was a werewolf and wanted to find a way to help make his transformations less lonely so they all self trained to become animaguses so that they could keep lupin company during his transformation periods. this also ties into their marauder names: moony= lupin wormtail= peter (rat) padfoot= sirius (dog) prongs= james (stag) sirius was able to escape azkaban by transforming into a dog and slipping through the bars. the dementors couldn't sense him in his dog form and no one else besides the marauders knew he was an animagus bc they were unregistered animaguses. a full fledged patronus usually has some sort of animal form that is personal to the wizard/witch performing the patronus charm, it can either be something reminiscent of their own personality or an animal that is closely associated to some sort of subject of fondness like a family member or anything/one else they hold dear. patronuses can also be changed or shaped according to who you've fallen in love with. harry's patronus is a stag, which is his father's animagus form.

[@MagesLikeYouAndI]

Thanks so much for that! I was coming to the comments to say the same thing. James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter were the original troublemakers at Hogwarts, kind of precursors to Fred & George. They made the map and got up to all kinds of things when they were in school. I wish they hadn't left the Marauder's storyline out of the movie. I very distinctly remember walking out of the theater after seeing this movie for the first time and hearing the woman behind me ask her husband, "how did Lupin know how to read the map?" That's when I realized how much of the story non-book readers miss out on. 😢 Still love the movies of course though!!

[@MagesLikeYouAndI]

The 4 of them were all best friends in school, and Sirius became Harry's godfather when he was born. Shortly after, when Harry's parents went into hiding from Voldemort, they did a protection spell and made Peter their "secret keeper." Peter gave them up to Voldemort, then faked his own death and blamed everything on Sirius. Everyone assumed Sirius would have been their secret keeper, so they all believed that he had been the one secretly working for Voldemort. For 12 years, Remus thought that Sirius had betrayed them all and that his other 2 best friends were dead. When Harry told him that Peter showed up on the map, that was the first time he realized what had really happened.

- Remus Lupin’s name is a big hint towards his condition as a werewolf the name Remus comes from the story of Romulus and Remus who are believed to be the founders of Rome who were orphaned and adopted by a she wolf from who they were fed by (breast fed) and Lupin is derived from the Latin name for a wolf which is Canas lupus - Sirius Black (Padfoot) is an Animagus who can transform into a large black dog (not a wolf) the name Sirius comes from the name of the Dog Star constellation so his name means black dog - Petter Pettigrew (Wormtail) is an Animagus who can transform into a rat which demonstrates the smallness of his inner character and demonstrates his timid fleeting nature as well as the fact that he ratted out Harry’s parents to Voldemort and his name is Pettigrew and he was Ron’s (formerly his brother Percy’s) so in terms of his name it could be because he was a ‘Pet’-who-‘Grew’ into a man

That for me is what makes me dislike Remus, yes I feel bad for him being a werewolf, but him being an outcast should have made him more…either compassionate or active in stopping the bullying. Because for all we know if Snape wasn’t bullied by the marauders there is a great possibility he may not have gone to the dark side. Just look at real life victims of bullies.

[@shawnabrinkley4821]

The Potters was under The Fidelius Charm which is used to conceal a secret or someone. They're first chose was to have Sirius to be the Secret Keeper but he was afraid that it would be to obviously to put him as the Secret Keeper so they decided to switch it to Peter. Lily, James, Sirius and Remus didn't know that Peter was a Death Eater a follower to Voldemort so once The Potters made Peter the Secret Keeper he ran off to Voldemort and told him where they were hiding.

[@sugarcube910]

I know this is a year old comment but I wanted to add onto this because it's one of my favorite twists in the book... The reason Sirius ended up framed for Peter's murder is because Sirius found out that Peter snitched the location of the Potter's and Sirius immediately went after him. At the time Peter was hiding out in the muggle world in his rat form trying to lay low. Sirius obviously confronted Peter and in an attempt to kill Sirius and get away, Peter used an explosive charm and killed 12 muggles, then cut off his own finger, turned into his rat form and ran off. As a result it led to the false conviction and imprisonment of Sirius Black for Peter's crimes (having been found with 12 dead muggles and Peter's finger). Peter then stayed in his rat form for 12 years living with the Weasley's (I can't remember if it's ever explained how he ended up with them). Sirius was in Askaban for 12 years as well, until he saw in an issue of the Daily Prophet (the wizard newspaper) a photo of Peter. In the issue of the Daily Prophet was a photo of the Weasley family on vacation in Egypt, with Ron holding Scabbers (Peter Pettigrew) front and center. Sirius decided that night to escape Askaban by turning into his dog form and slipping through the bars. He was able to get past the dementors because they couldn't sense him while he was a dog.

[@TheBlackLakeSiren]

@@barcaj.8650 I don't hate Lupin though I do hate the rest. And I do feel that Lupin was cowardly for not confronting his friends on their horrible behaviors. He was irresponsible with his lycanthropy, and I also think the way he handled the boggart lesson with putting Snape in woman's clothes to mock him, a fellow teacher, was very immature and inappropriate. Sirius isn't all innocent. He deserved to go to Azkaban in my opinion for attempted murder with Snape by trying to use Lupin to maul him when they were 15/16. It was attempted murder and a complete betrayal of Lupin's trust. (He was also the first to accuse Lupin of being the ones to betray the Potter's when it was Peter who betrayed them. He's a shit friend which is why I think the ship Wolfstar is toxic) On top of that, illegal animagi strolling along with a werewolf at night with no true protection? They may have helped Lupin by making sure he wasn't alone but even Lupin said there were many close calls, admitting that they literally put the school and the nearby village at extreme risk of being slaughtered whenever they went out on a full moon. On top of that James and Sirius were horrible bullies. Not just to Snape but to everyone else. Lily herself said that James literally hexed everyone just because he could. (One such incident both he and Sirius used an illegal hex to blow up a kids head to huge proportions.) He even threatened to hex her if she wouldn't go on a date with him. James was a disgusting ass. And Snape's worst memory was sexual assault. In the books, especially in Snape's younger years, they didn't wear uniforms underneath their school robes like in the movies. They wore underwear. So when James strung him up in the air and threatened to pants him, he was threatening to expose his genitals. And just before that he had made him severely choke on soap bubbles. Even worse, this was AFTER Sirius attempted to use Lupin to maul him. So James never changed. If a 16 year old boy strung a girl up and threatened to expose her genitals after exposing her underwear, people would realize it was sexual assault. But since it's a boy, and Snape at that, James stans seem to ignore it.

[@yustymusic]

You guys were literally asking questions about dementors and why they are atacking Harry while it was being explained in a movie in a background 😂 so my only advice would be if you want to talk some theories out, just pause the film, that way you won't miss the details that might be very important in the future :) dialogues are the key in these movies. But I swear, you two reacting to Harry Potter is now the thing I look forward to the most on KZbin! Good job!

[@OnikuKnight]

Yes I had heard Lupin explaining what they fed on, something about happiness and good memories, however, he then said Harry had a lot of painful memories which confused me a bit, cause wouldn’t that mean he doesn’t have as many happy memories as everyone else? Someone else in the movie also stated that the dementors would target those who were interfering, making me think that they had some ability to differentiate between friend or foe. So them targeting Harry made me think that there was more involved but according to people’s comments I guess not. Luckily the comments cleared things up.

[@yustymusic]

@@OnikuKnight in the beginning Dumbledore said that dementors do NOT differenciate between the One they are looking for and the One that stands in their way. So basically if you have a lot of bad memories and not enough good ones, the dementor will probably attack you if you just go past them or anything because a lot of prisoners in azkaban have those bad emotions so they might confuse you with someone who is full of dark emotions. Because thay cannot differenciate sadness from anger, or loneliness from hate. They just attack people who are full of strong 'bad emotions'. I think they needed to portrait it more clearly in the movie. Because in the books it's very well explained. Hope it helps to understand a bit :)

[@OnikuKnight]

@@yustymusic Ah I see. Thanks a ton for the explanation. It’s understandable, but the movie does seem to leave a lot out so your guys’ explanations help a ton. Thank you!

Actually the film makes it look like the dementors "target" Harry but in the books they really don't - either Harry is unlucky and gets in their way, or the dementors "act on" everyone equally (in the train carriage scene, the dementor is actually having an effect on everyone), it's just that Harry gets affected by them really badly (the explanation being that he has horrible memories and pain in him so the effect is stronger)

It upsets me because the book mentioned it to show that Ginny was still recovering from y'know being possessed by Voldemort.

[@lollyboyhair1]

Came to the comments to answer some of your questions and everybody else has already covered them pretty well! haha. The only thing I can add really is that Peter WAS talking about Voldemort when he said 'The Dark Lord' , his followers call him the dark lord, only people who fear Voldemort call him 'he who must not be named' or 'you know who' . Its not explained in the movies but that stems from there being a curse on the use of his name when he first gained power, kind of a locator spell if you will, if you spoke his name they would be able to find you. This becomes an unexplained relevant piece of information towards the final movies. Not majorly important but cool to know :) Really enjoying your reactions, you guys are good at figuring out certain things, very observant! Can't wait for the next one!

[@omin231]

So, James and Lily made the fidelius spell, which is a spell that can hide you in any place as long as the keeper of the information of where that place is mantains it a secret. Harry's parents just hid in their house and were gonna choose Sirius to keep the information, but they ended up choosing Peter and he spoke up. Sirius got so mad that he chased Peter down a street until Peter made an explotion killing 13 people around, he cut his finger and sneeked as a rat. The ministry has a record of wizards that are animagus, like Proffesor Mcgonagal for example, but since they became animagus in secret they didn't know about Peter beeing a rat, so Sirius was sent to Askaban without a trial and blamed for those 13 dead people.

[@coalchaser1855]

I just want to note, in case no one else has, that all of Lupin's mentions of Lily are a "movie-ism". Lupin never once discusses Lily with Harry in the book; when they do talk about Harry's parents, it's about James only, since Lupin was very close with James. It's a weird change honestly. Obviously Lupin knew Lily at school and afterwards, but these movie scenes make it sound like he had a close relationship with her beyond her being his best friend's wife, which just isn't the case.

They didn't explain it in the movies but Harry's dad was an animagus just like Sirius, them along with Pettigrew and Lupin were best friends, when Lupin became a werewolf Dumbledore built the shrieking shack and planted the womping willow, the womping willow is a tunnel that takes you to the shrieking shack and he planted it there so no one would go near the tunnel, the stories were that it was haunted but it was actually Lupin's screams that people could hear and his friends became animagus so Lupin didn't feel like a creep so: Harry's dad transformed into a stag that's why his patronum is a stag.

If a person using a time-turner meets themselves going back in time, they instantly drive themselves insane, BOTH versions. By doing this they effectively screw up the time-line because the future self and anything that happened to the past self after the meeting is essentially wiped out, so screwing up the time-lines. This is why when the 'past' Hermione turned around the 'present' Hermione was quick to duck behind the tree. It is ALSO why they didn't just walk up to themselves and tell them everything, they CAN'T.

I hope I'm explaining this correctly, but dementors feed off of peoples emotions and especially intense ones like pain, sadness and suffering. I think they target harry more than others, because he has a lot of pain from his past, which is a sort of fuel for them. I hope that answers your question:)

[@cambriatevis6907]

Also they are given the duty by the Ministry of magic to guard the prison. In a sense, the ministry has a contract with the dementors. Like here are some bad people that you can feed off of their depressing emotions and in return to you do not attack others and we will not destroy your kind. While this control works in a sense, the dementors are just doing what they do. It is a dangerous arrangement to have them at Hogwarts away from Azkaban which is by itself in the middle of an ocean. Also, the dementors represent depression in general. The more a person is affected by past trauma the easier it is for them to fall further and further into the depths of despair that is depression.

[@boldreaper3110]

As an avid lover of this series (both the books and the movies) I feels so nice seeing other people experience it for the first time and watch them try to piece together the lore

[@keharadesilva7222]

Lupin explained that unlike other students, Harry has dealt with trauma and knows loss because his parents died, and the dementors basically feed off that energy. That's why he was attacked by the dementors

[@val.withlove]

Fun fact; Professor McGonagall didn't just give Hermione a time piece, she was taking too many classes at the same time and so Professor McGonagall applied to the Ministry of Magic for a time piece to allow Hermione get to all her classes, she had to sign a form promising that she won't misuse it as some people who have used it before have accidentally killed their past/future selves. It's a very serious thing, Hermione handed it back when she dropped Divination and had a normal timetable. Education is taken very seriously in the books, I don't know why the movies don't portray this.

[@omin231]

They did explained the dementors thing hahah they went after harry because he has a lot of pain in his past, so they feed of that, they leave you with only your worst memories, the woman screeming was Harry's mom when she was killed.

In the Wizarding world paintings can be made of dead people and they sort of hold the mind of the person. An example is Dumbledores office, there is a painting of every previous hogwarts headmaster and they can talk and be interacted with. Essentially a copy of the persons mind put into a painting.

[@Beeba10]

Harry still doing accidental magic is a hint to how magically powerful he is. Once they've started Hogwarts, most kids learn to control their magic and, therefore, the accidental stuff rarely - if ever - happens. He has so much power that he still has trouble controlling it after 2 whole years of education.

[@juliebal3909]

Yeah as the movies go on Harry gets more and more snappy and sassy, this is really only the beginning of it lol

[@emmawadding4039]

I would love an audiobook reaction, is just in the movies they talk about more important stuff, and besides ron is so infrabalorated, the thing hermione said to black "if you want to kill harry..." in the book said ron and is incredible because he puts infront of harry with a broken leg, and in youtube there are audio books, equally I love the reaction.

[@mxlexrd]

The paintings aren't exactly alive, but they can hold on to the personality and memories of a person after they are dead, a little like a ghost. I'm not sure if this is explicitly stated anywhere, but it seems like the better (bigger, higher quality) the painting is, the richer the person's personality is captured. As for the dementors, I don't think they were particularly targeting Harry, it's just that he's more affected by them than other people, like Lupin said, because he has more horrors in his past than most people.

[@carolinemasson7172]

The dementors targeted harry because they look to suck happiness out of people. Harry is someone who has experienced things his classmates could never imagine, so they see him as a target. Also, the reason Harry heard screaming is because he's hearing his Mother die whenever the dementors come too close. In the books there is a description from when he falls from his broom where he hears his Mother pleading with Voldemort not to kill her. Also, Sirius would not have been dead at the lake if the dementors had sucked the blue soul thing from him. He would live a life far worse, hollow, nothing more than a husk of a being. It's called a dementors kiss.

[@backfaced]

So happy that you guys picked up on the little details and foreshadowing early on. As a film maker it's satisfying to watch. Every visual and audio detail are there for a specific reason in films.

[@jccw227]

[@Meli924]

This movie will be the best from the whole series from a cinematography point of view. It is so well done. Since the characters are getting older, the plot also thickens so the movies do get better and better and they are well done, but Alfonso Cuaron’s work just stands out more compared to the other directors.

[@themystical3282]

[@thaisseachick4529]

It’s funny, the “why didn’t he just stay at Hogwarts over the summer?” question is one I see a lot. Essentially, when Harry was a baby Dumbledore places a charm on the Dursley’s house to protect him since it was the last place with someone physically related to Harry. Harry has to call the Dursley’s house “home” for at least a few months of the year to keep the spell going until he comes of age. If he didn’t have this necessary protection he probably could have stayed at Hogwarts, since they allow for exceptional circumstances. He would have definitely had a better home life.

You dont have to say the spell out loud but only more trained wizards can do them non-verbal. I think there isnt much in the movies about this but more in the books.

I know I'm very late and I don't know if anybody has commented this in a later reaction but it is explained in the books that the woman screaming is Harry's mother. The dementors are meant to be the embodiment of depression and Harry admits to himself that he doesn't remember how his mother's voice sounds and the only thing he know remembers hearing from his mother is her dying scream (which he hears over and over again every time a dementor tries to suck out his soul).

Man the mystery factor and time traveling was handled and directed so well in this movie, when piecing it, it's genius. Though I really wish they went into the Marauders backstory, really had some juicy things, then it would've been the perfect adaptation. But as is, still amazing.

[@jobehlendorf]

I love how invested you guys are and you’re good at picking up all the clues!!! Trying to answer all your questions: Wizards can do magic by accident when they are emotional. This happens to Harry a lot before he finds out he is a Wizard. Hagrid’s mother is a giant and his father is a normal guy. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs are Lupin, Pettigrew, Sirius, and James Potter. They all became animagus to turn into animals to make Lupin feel better about being a werewolf and they made the maurarder’s map together too. When Harry told Lupin he saw Peter on the map, that’s when he realized Sirius was actually innocent. Sirius was trying to kill Peter the whole movie, he was never trying to kill Harry. And yes the Dark Lord is Voldemort. Everything in these early movies is super important for later in the series, it’s all one big story and one big mystery to solve and the end is sooooo satisfying. You guys should watch Children of Men, it’s another movie by this director that has some of the best cinematography of any movie ever!!

[@sam_c95]

Long comment but I hope you enjoy the non-spoilery info! (Potterheads, it's a long time since I read the books so feel free to correct any mistakes :) ) . 3:33 In a later year at Hogwarts once they're more experienced, they learn how to do "non-verbal" spells where they can choose to do a specific spell they've already learnt verbally but without saying the words, but that's more advanced than where they're at now. A separate thing that happens, especially with young or inexperienced witches or wizards I believe, is that magic can happen when they are feeling strong emotions, but they don't really have much choice or control over what happens. In this case Harry felt anger towards Aunt Marge and she inflated as a result! Another example, think back to Philosopher's Stone when Harry made the glass to the snake enclosure disappear - this was before he even knew magic existed. An example of a non-verbal spell is when Lupin conjured his Patronus on the train at the beginning of this movie (8:36). We have now learnt the incantation from this movie but Lupin is experienced enough to only need to think it. You usually see adults performing non-verbal spells. Think of it like how you learn to read aloud before you learn to read in your head. . 20:32 Professor Lupin knows a lot about how to deal with dementors among other things simply because he's a good defence against the dark arts teacher! You'd like to think your teachers could defend against things like that. Obviously Lockhart from last movie wasn't a good teacher and would have no idea! . 29:06 Yeah time travel stuff comes with all sorts of problems but luckily Harry Potter has an easy version to follow. Everything that happens only happens once so it's not like they have lots of different timelines or whatever. It's just there are multiple versions of yourself at the same time. Now you just have to overlook the slight plot hole that going forward, loads of their problems could be solved with a time turner but it's primary function is to get to multiple classes on time! . 32:41 Remus Lupin is his name. Lupin like lupus, Latin for wolf... it's kind of in your face haha. Lumos is the light spell. Like lumen, the unit of measuring brightness, and also Latin for light! . 33:15 Voldemort, or Lord Voldemort, is the name Tom Riddle chose for himself, but people scared of him refer to him as He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, or You-Know-Who for short, and his followers/ex-followers call him the Dark Lord. . 34:54 The paintings are just enchanted paintings. They can move between pictures and chat but they're not like real people, but they can be enchanted to have some traits and similar thoughts as the actual person, or have some kind of personality (depending if they're a painting of a real person or not). In the headmaster's office at Hogwarts there is a painting of every past headmaster, and the current headmaster can seek their counsel or send them on errands to different pictures!
