He seems to ignore details in the movies that undermine his own arguments, I mean there are plenty of problems with the story that can be criticized, but he misses a lot of those. It's also always safe to assume with adaptations that a lot of details are changed or removed entirely, and there are a lot of details missing in the Harry Potter films. And they are for kids, but kids were growing up as the movies released, so the movies got more mature along with the fans(something I wish Pokemon would do, like not entirely but just one Pokemon game with a more mature story and deeper gameplay mechanics would be nice).
I appreciate and love the lotr more than Harry potter, but your critism that the big bad being defeated by someone who was weaker than them is rubbish. Wasn't Sauron defeated by two hobbits?

@@KevinBaird and plus it was only a weak version of voldemort they were fighting in the two first books. It's only in the forth one that shit gets real
The movies are awesome the books are way better information wise. In the first movie Voldi cant touch Harry because of the old strong magic called love give to him by his mother when she died for him.
That's what one the great things about Harry Potter. It matured as the characters matured. The first one was for kids because Harry was a kid, and the last was for teens because Harry was a teen. and also מה קורה חחחח
The "How does he keep losing to a bunch of kids" argument really isn't valid if you have seen all of these and know the reasons. Quirrell couldn't touch Harry because of the love protection. Tom Riddle as a teen never really returned, he was still just a "memory" when Harry stopped him, and Voldemort didn't want the death eaters to kill Harry cause he wanted to do it himself, and he couldn't because of their wands being twins. I can obviously keep going for 5-8 but..
None of his "arguments" hold up. It seems apparent that he lied about having seen these before (don't ask me to what end), and he obviously didn't even pay attention to them _this_ time.He may need to go back to "film" school.
I agree. I think he comes up with all the classic “Harry Potter is overhyped and I’m too cool for it” arguments which are pretty poor. Just because he doesn’t understand it doesn’t mean its a plot hole.
Voldemort has motivation beyond just being evil. He wants wizard "purity" and supremacy. He wants to persecute those who aren't "pure blood" and terrorize muggles. He's like a white supremacist nazi type. That's clearly enough motivation for real world villains.
I think his quote to Snape "only I, can live, forever" sums up his main motivation; he only really cared about himself. Also, he wasn't even a pure-blood.
It’s heavily implied Voldemort doesn’t actually care about the Death Eater’s cause. He just uses them to empower himself more. I mean sure he is ashamed of his muggle side, but that’s more to do with his own ego than with any ideology. Grindelwald was much more of an ideological dark wizard than Voldemort.
Put on a movie based on mythology, and literature, with deep rooted pagan and Christian themes and she’ll text and sleep through it. Put on a movie for 9 year olds and she’s totally engaged. Really shows the emotional intelligence and maturity.
@proud saiyan prince Not nice. MAYBE I have such a demanding complex job during the day (spoiler alert: I DO) that when I come home I just like to watch fun movies where I don’t have to actually think lol and Harry Potter is a super fun cute movie 😊
@@proudsaiyanprince2651 If you don’t think Harry Potter draws from mythology of all different sorts (pagan, Christian, etc.) then I genuinely have no idea what series you think they’re watching. The lore of the Harry Potter world is very thoroughly researched and many, many elements have a basis in classical mythology. Also, how ridiculous is it to say “based on literature” when the Harry Potter movies very clearly are based on literature, and some of the best-selling literature of all time? Haha, just a crazy comment all around. And yes, Harry Potter draws from other literature, how could it not? Just a very broad thing. The Harry Potter movies can genuinely be enjoyed by all ages (especially when someone has seen them in the past and has a nostalgic attachment to them, and because the story matured with its initial audience as time went on. The later movies have very dark tones and themes). Why are you a pretentious dick?
@@lupitaa5420 yeah sometimes really simple things just take a while to properly register for some reason, and then when you realise, it seems so obviously and you can’t quite work out why it didn’t click sooner
Bro you actually kinda ruined these reactions with your negative comments. Everyone else in your family seemed to like the movies and it sounds like you’re trying to get them all to hate them. Way too much of a cynic and an incredibly hypocritical one at that. They’re movies dude just enjoy them for what they are not what you think they should be.
Especially when someone is watching them for the very first time It's okay to be snarky if everyone has already had the chance to Form their own opinions, but not cool to try and change someone's first experience into sth more negative.
Everything else felt like a children’s movie...hmm I wonder why? And yes he does have a motivation. But I feel like any explanation for your complaint you choose to ignore... but I can’t make anyone enjoy something they just don’t like but I will say I feel like your biggest gripe with this movie is that it isn’t Lord of The Rings or Star Wars and people like it? Or is it too mainstream?
People are allowed to like and dislike stuff man. Besides I don't think the guy ever outright said "I don't like these movies," and if he does dislike them it's most likely because his sister enjoys them, that's how siblings work, it's illegal for them to have common interests.
"What is 'a poor man's Palpatine'?" *"Daaad!"* Also: "Volder-Mort." Totally disagree about him just being evil for evil's sake, he has real motives. They're just too (and I know this will sound weird but) realistic for movie-goers to wrap their heads around. Change my mind.
@Ay Tone what does it matter when the actions were crap. Hitter's goal was to achieve economic hegemony for Germany but we all know where his actions lead
I have to admit that even though I love Ralph Fiennes' performance as Voldemort, your impression of him been a "Drama Queen", with all his poses and arm waiving was spot on. Great video, man. Hope part 2 is soon uploaded.
How can one be too old for Harry Potter? One reactor said he appreciated it in a different way watching it as a young adult. He discovered new layers of the story.
I'm guessing you've never read the books given your views on Voldemort. Voldemort's motivations are all in there and quite frankly, it's very terrifying. In the books, his father was a muggle who was essentially kidnapped by Voldemort's mother when she got him to drink love potion. So when Voldemort was conceived he immediately lost the ability to love because he was not made 'willingly'. As such, he has no understanding of basic human emotions. When he realised this, he made it his ultimate goal to wipe out all non-magic people and to create a 'new world order'. He wiped out his father's side of the family and murdered thousands of people in order to achieve this. Also, at the age of 15 he decided he was going live forever and knew that he had to kill to do it. I dunno, his motives scare the crap out of me 😂 But, I can also understand where you're coming from, because this isn't discussed in the films.
I don't like the whole "voldy was born without consent so he's evil" thing, there are children out there who were conceived through scenarios without consent who are beautiful children. I think yes being a nazi is bad, and doing sexual assault is bad, but being born from sexual assault doesn't make you a Nazi.
@@MrSmithers he isn't evil because he was conceived without consent, but because he was conceived whilst his father was under the influence of love potion. It's a part of Harry Potter lore. It's explained in the Half Blood Prince in greater detail
@@jessicarichards1854 being conceived while one of the parties is under the influence of a drug (which lets say for arguments sake love potion acts as) is conception without consent.
Continuously undermining the plot of the movies, and then comparing Voldemort to being a 'poor man's Emperor Palpatine' was just hilarious. I mean, Palpatine? One of the most comicly ridiculous, overacted villains in science fiction. It's fine if you don't like the films, but at least let your family formulate their own opinions😂
I would also say, that Voldemort is far more than just evil. We know his motives pretty clearly - even in the movies they are pretty well established - he dislikes muggles, wizards coming from muggle families and "halfbreeds", which is also quite sad considering he is one of them. There's more to him than being a fantasy Palpatine.
Man, my mom was a big fan of both The LOTR AND HP, she passed away last year at age 70, watching your mom react to this movie brought me so many memories. Thank you for sharing.
I like these taped viewings. It shows people not interested in the genre find themselves surprisingly engaged anyway. That says a lot about the writing and direction of the films.
The scene of Amos Diggory seeing his dead son is amazing though, that comes across as real pain, well acted by Jeff Rawle, your mother felt it I'm sure.
@@incognitonotsure909 i think he tried to hard to make his family not like it. If he doesn't like it its totally ok but he wanted his family to dislike it when they clearly liked it.
the whole "I'm too cool and non-conforming to like harry potter" kind of took the fun out of it from ur sister and ur parents and you, you look the the one having the least fun at it ... so why even doing it ? :/
I felt so much joy when the mom freaked herself out cause she turned on the wand light. The pure innocence when she for a breif second she thought she did magic
Ok, re: the chess pieces. Ron is not sitting on top of the knight. The Knight is missing from the horse, hence Ron has to take his place on the horse. Once on the horse he becomes part of the piece. That's why he's injured when the horse is struck and not himself physically. Btw, if you thought being 10 when you first saw this film was being too old, I was 30. (I was taken there by my girlfriend at the time as her neighbour was one of the set builders)
Now I know why his sister was so over the top disinterested by The Lord of the Rings. Imagine having some zealot at home that tries to undermine what you like because his interests are so much better in his own mind.
I absolutely love your Mom, you can tell that she is a little bit out of her element but she is really committing to thinking about these movies seriously and analytically because she knows it means a lot to her son....
I’m really glad you’re continuing this series of showing your family popular movies. I can’t wait to see what they think of the rest of the franchise. But can I just say one thing? I love this movie series, I love the LOTR trilogy and I love Star Wars. But they aren’t comparable. I like them for different reasons. I don’t try to compare these movies to anything else because what’s the point? I like them, they’re fun and they remind me of my childhood. They vary in quality and sure you could say other movies were made better or had better stories but why does that matter? Is this making sense? Like if you enjoy a movie, that’s great. I’m glad you’re having fun. Why do we have to be like “no you can’t have enjoyed this because my opinion is that it sucks and this other movie is way better”? Just let people like things! Anyway, my personal ranking of the series is as follows: 1. Prisoner of Azkaban 2. Deathly Hallows Part 2 (fight me idc) 3. Order of the Phoenix 4. Deathly Hallows Part 1 5. Goblet of Fire 6. Half-Blood Prince 7. Philosopher’s Stone (Sorcerer for the Americans) 8. Chamber of Secrets
Professor McGonagall saying '1, 2, 3, 1, 2 , 3' and the cat in the background looks like it's saying 'Why do I have to put up with this shit' :D He looks so uncomfortable
im just gonna explain why harry defeated voldemort so easily when he was 1, 11 and 12. first of all, when harry was eleven wasnt actually him that defeated voldemort, it was his mom. his mom sacrificed herself for him, and that made a magic that turned impossible for voldemort kill harry. thats why when voldemort used the avada spell it didnt worked. so the avada returned do voldemort, but voldemort didnt died cuz he had his horcruxes, but he became a ghost. so when harry was eleven, he fought with ghost voldemort, he was weak, and when harry burned voldemort it was again because of harrys mom. when he was 12, tom riddle wasnt the voldemort that everyone was scared of, tom riddle was a part of a soul of him, it was a part of a soul of voldemort when voldemort was 16. so yeah, he was teenager (and not even a real teenager, he was a part of soul of one). so i hope that expains to you a little why was that easy. and so sorry for my bad english,, im not fluent lol
Fitzhugh123 also the whole reason Voldermort is going after Harry isn’t just “because his motivation is he is evil” either. At the start it was out of fear for a prophecy, then as it went on his need to kill Harry became far more erratic, how was he supposed to amass a following if he can’t kill this one child, how can he aspire fear as long as there is someone who can oppose him with impunity, how can he be viewed as powerful if Harry Potter is his match. He doesn’t just want to kill Harry, he *needs* to in order to prove himself to his followers
Timestamp 21:05 Dad: "I look forward to these things now, Kev" is a life moment not many children get with their fathers. Cherish these movie nights forever and always be forever grateful you had the foresight to record them. Also, you mom and Heather are just absolutely great.
[22:51] Please inform yourself before making statements. • Voldemort lost the first time because of the magical protection Harry's mother's sacrifice gave Harry. • Voldemort didn't lose the second time. Quirinus Quirrel lost. • Voldemort lost the third time, because he was only a memory. He couldn't stop Harry. • Voldemort didn't lose the fourth time. It was a draw. I can't imagine how one can believe that Voldemort lost. Neither he nor Harry could win, because Voldemort's wand and Harry's share the same core (phoenix feather).
As a young child that preferred documentaries and crime shows over cartoons, I will not say Harry Potter was ever too childish and I continue to watch the entire series at least once a year😂 and make my mum sit through it too.
First 2 movies were great kids movies. John Williams Score, the childlike innocence, the vibrant colour palate was just pure magic in the eyes of many kids back then (including me). Maybe it’s nostalgia, but definitely my favourite potter movies. Ignore the silly IMDb reviews
I don't appreciate being called a huge dork by the guy who made the "piece of cake" joke, but I did enjoy the video so here we are 🤷😂 Looking forward to Part 2!
I just spent the whole week watching the entire HP series for the first time (it’s screened back to back all week) and it was definitely one of the best film series I’ve seen.
This video is incredibly well filmed and edited. Love the story you tell, especially since its one of those "dreaded" reaction videos. Not typically the most quality of RUclips content if we’re being frank. Thanks for the video!
I LOVE your family. the LOTR video was so sweet and I can't wait for the remaining video(s) for the HP saga. might I suggest 'the green mile' for the future?
I can never unsee the scene where the Beauxbatons students arrive after I saw the german coldmirror dub. Every time I see it my mind immediately goes to "WE ARE SO PRETTY WE FART BUTTERFLIES!" ;D

I think his quote to Snape "only I, can live, forever" sums up his main motivation; he only really cared about himself. Also, he wasn't even a pure-blood.
basicly a wizard version of Hitler
@@bastiaanmoes3344 exactly, voldemort wasn't pure blood and Hitler wasn't German
It’s heavily implied Voldemort doesn’t actually care about the Death Eater’s cause. He just uses them to empower himself more. I mean sure he is ashamed of his muggle side, but that’s more to do with his own ego than with any ideology. Grindelwald was much more of an ideological dark wizard than Voldemort.
@@lfnreviews Grindelwald is surely supposed to be the Hitler of the wizarding world? He has much more of a grand plan/ideology than Voldemort does.
feel like you're missing a lot of points - tbh I don't think you understand any part at all
I hear the stomping of feet 😆
Cedric’s dad’s sobbing gets me every time. Literally. Dad jokes were on point.
your sister has had one of the best redemption arcs in cinema history
Put on a movie based on mythology, and literature, with deep rooted pagan and Christian themes and she’ll text and sleep through it. Put on a movie for 9 year olds and she’s totally engaged. Really shows the emotional intelligence and maturity.
@proud saiyan prince Not nice. MAYBE I have such a demanding complex job during the day (spoiler alert: I DO) that when I come home I just like to watch fun movies where I don’t have to actually think lol and Harry Potter is a super fun cute movie 😊
@@proudsaiyanprince2651 And you demeaning someone else's tastes really shows your emotional intelligence and maturity.
@@proudsaiyanprince2651 If you don’t think Harry Potter draws from mythology of all different sorts (pagan, Christian, etc.) then I genuinely have no idea what series you think they’re watching. The lore of the Harry Potter world is very thoroughly researched and many, many elements have a basis in classical mythology. Also, how ridiculous is it to say “based on literature” when the Harry Potter movies very clearly are based on literature, and some of the best-selling literature of all time? Haha, just a crazy comment all around. And yes, Harry Potter draws from other literature, how could it not? Just a very broad thing. The Harry Potter movies can genuinely be enjoyed by all ages (especially when someone has seen them in the past and has a nostalgic attachment to them, and because the story matured with its initial audience as time went on. The later movies have very dark tones and themes). Why are you a pretentious dick?
3:28 Ron is the Knight, not the Horse. He has to stay on the horse to complete the piece, otherwise it doesn’t count as a knight
Omg that seems so obvious but I never figured it out 😂 it makes sense now
@@lupitaa5420 yeah sometimes really simple things just take a while to properly register for some reason, and then when you realise, it seems so obviously and you can’t quite work out why it didn’t click sooner
Bro you actually kinda ruined these reactions with your negative comments. Everyone else in your family seemed to like the movies and it sounds like you’re trying to get them all to hate them. Way too much of a cynic and an incredibly hypocritical one at that. They’re movies dude just enjoy them for what they are not what you think they should be.
Agreed
yeah. honestly i think people overthink things. if u enjoy something you enjoy it - at the end of the day, it's just entertainment
I think that was the point... That’s like saying the Lord of the Rings Episode was bad because of the families’ comments.
Especially when someone is watching them for the very first time
It's okay to be snarky if everyone has already had the chance to Form their own opinions, but not cool to try and change someone's first experience into sth more negative.
I'm gonna use a quote from out of the video, "what an asshole."
Everything else felt like a children’s movie...hmm I wonder why? And yes he does have a motivation. But I feel like any explanation for your complaint you choose to ignore... but I can’t make anyone enjoy something they just don’t like but I will say I feel like your biggest gripe with this movie is that it isn’t Lord of The Rings or Star Wars and people like it? Or is it too mainstream?
...but he said he likes it lmao. Also if you look through these comments he acknowledged the explanations several times
People are allowed to like and dislike stuff man. Besides I don't think the guy ever outright said "I don't like these movies," and if he does dislike them it's most likely because his sister enjoys them, that's how siblings work, it's illegal for them to have common interests.
"This is better than Lord of the Rings" "no iTS NOOOOT" cut. Inspiring shit right there
"What is 'a poor man's Palpatine'?"
*"Daaad!"*
Also: "Volder-Mort." Totally disagree about him just being evil for evil's sake, he has real motives. They're just too (and I know this will sound weird but) realistic for movie-goers to wrap their heads around. Change my mind.
Definitely; Voldy is a elitist racist with megalomania, longing for immortality and from the ground up unable to feel love.
@Ay Tone at first it was but the road to hell is paved with good intentions
@Ay Tone what does it matter when the actions were crap. Hitter's goal was to achieve economic hegemony for Germany but we all know where his actions lead
@Ay Tone road to hell is paved with good intentions
The way I rewind the video to read the full disclaimer only to be called out for doing so, rip :/
Same
I have to admit that even though I love Ralph Fiennes' performance as Voldemort, your impression of him been a "Drama Queen", with all his poses and arm waiving was spot on. Great video, man. Hope part 2 is soon uploaded.
His pronunciation of Ralph fiennes killed me. It's pronounced "Ray fines"
Your criticisms of the movies tho... so self righteous 🤣
How can one be too old for Harry Potter? One reactor said he appreciated it in a different way watching it as a young adult. He discovered new layers of the story.
Absolutely. I think you get more out of it with age. There's a lot of great themes throughout it that anybody can appreciate.
I'm guessing you've never read the books given your views on Voldemort.
Voldemort's motivations are all in there and quite frankly, it's very terrifying. In the books, his father was a muggle who was essentially kidnapped by Voldemort's mother when she got him to drink love potion. So when Voldemort was conceived he immediately lost the ability to love because he was not made 'willingly'. As such, he has no understanding of basic human emotions. When he realised this, he made it his ultimate goal to wipe out all non-magic people and to create a 'new world order'. He wiped out his father's side of the family and murdered thousands of people in order to achieve this. Also, at the age of 15 he decided he was going live forever and knew that he had to kill to do it. I dunno, his motives scare the crap out of me 😂
But, I can also understand where you're coming from, because this isn't discussed in the films.
@Jaden LaFrance No it's not.... that's why I said that I understand where he's coming from.
I don't like the whole "voldy was born without consent so he's evil" thing, there are children out there who were conceived through scenarios without consent who are beautiful children. I think yes being a nazi is bad, and doing sexual assault is bad, but being born from sexual assault doesn't make you a Nazi.
@@MrSmithers he isn't evil because he was conceived without consent, but because he was conceived whilst his father was under the influence of love potion. It's a part of Harry Potter lore. It's explained in the Half Blood Prince in greater detail
@@jessicarichards1854 being conceived while one of the parties is under the influence of a drug (which lets say for arguments sake love potion acts as) is conception without consent.
@@MrSmithers Yeah i hated that also a friend of mine is a child of rape and he is one of the greatest guys i know
Well seems like you don't understand harry Potter
Well what is it then?
oh no boo hoo
Don't be a grumpy bum, Harry Potter isn't like totally awesome.
Wait wait wait. She dated Tom Riddle???? I need an explanation here sr.
Maybe she means Christian Coulson...?
@@Fnelrbnef That's what I thought too
Perhaps just some dude named Tom Riddle.
@neo6364 yes 😉
Probably shifting
Continuously undermining the plot of the movies, and then comparing Voldemort to being a 'poor man's Emperor Palpatine' was just hilarious. I mean, Palpatine? One of the most comicly ridiculous, overacted villains in science fiction. It's fine if you don't like the films, but at least let your family formulate their own opinions😂
I would also say, that Voldemort is far more than just evil. We know his motives pretty clearly - even in the movies they are pretty well established - he dislikes muggles, wizards coming from muggle families and "halfbreeds", which is also quite sad considering he is one of them. There's more to him than being a fantasy Palpatine.
I like how your cat's tail swings in the rythm of the song xD
Man, my mom was a big fan of both The LOTR AND HP, she passed away last year at age 70, watching your mom react to this movie brought me so many memories. Thank you for sharing.
I just NEED the part 2, man hahaha Your mom is so adorable! Your sister is the best too! Love from Brazil :)
Seeing the parents get emotional when Cedrics father was crying really got me honestly. They put themselves in his shoes and it was emotional
I like these taped viewings. It shows people not interested in the genre find themselves surprisingly engaged anyway. That says a lot about the writing and direction of the films.
The scene of Amos Diggory seeing his dead son is amazing though, that comes across as real pain, well acted by Jeff Rawle, your mother felt it I'm sure.
“My girlfriend isn’t real” 😂😂😂
I felt that 😭
i dont really like that they never really explain to harry and the kids that they were the marauders, which happens in the book but oh well
Beautiful family! Thanks for making this. Already ready for the next one!
Damnnn lotta Harry Potter hate. Your editing is still impeccable
Your negativity ruined these reactions!! Your mum(family) clearly likes it so why are you trying to make her dislike it.
lmao why is this guy not allowed to express his opinions on the film
@@incognitonotsure909 i think he tried to hard to make his family not like it. If he doesn't like it its totally ok but he wanted his family to dislike it when they clearly liked it.
@@incognitonotsure909 cuz he's being a condescending asshole about it
the whole "I'm too cool and non-conforming to like harry potter" kind of took the fun out of it
from ur sister and ur parents and you, you look the the one having the least fun at it ... so why even doing it ? :/
I felt so much joy when the mom freaked herself out cause she turned on the wand light. The pure innocence when she for a breif second she thought she did magic
Ok, re: the chess pieces. Ron is not sitting on top of the knight. The Knight is missing from the horse, hence Ron has to take his place on the horse. Once on the horse he becomes part of the piece. That's why he's injured when the horse is struck and not himself physically. Btw, if you thought being 10 when you first saw this film was being too old, I was 30. (I was taken there by my girlfriend at the time as her neighbour was one of the set builders)
"I think this is magical stuff or something like that"
Heather: *Literally waving around a magic wand in her face*
It feels like you are overly cynical about the movies. It was a fun reaction tho
Now I know why his sister was so over the top disinterested by The Lord of the Rings. Imagine having some zealot at home that tries to undermine what you like because his interests are so much better in his own mind.
@@someinteresting worded that one really good
The 3rd movie is by far the best out of the whole HP series. The visual, the atmosphere, Cuaron really took it to the next level.
"Dumbledore asked calmly" :)
I absolutely love your Mom, you can tell that she is a little bit out of her element but she is really committing to thinking about these movies seriously and analytically because she knows it means a lot to her son....
When you Dad was like"That's a book you can really sink your teeth in" I had to rewind it.Daddest of jokes.lol
I’m really glad you’re continuing this series of showing your family popular movies. I can’t wait to see what they think of the rest of the franchise. But can I just say one thing?
I love this movie series, I love the LOTR trilogy and I love Star Wars. But they aren’t comparable. I like them for different reasons. I don’t try to compare these movies to anything else because what’s the point? I like them, they’re fun and they remind me of my childhood. They vary in quality and sure you could say other movies were made better or had better stories but why does that matter? Is this making sense? Like if you enjoy a movie, that’s great. I’m glad you’re having fun. Why do we have to be like “no you can’t have enjoyed this because my opinion is that it sucks and this other movie is way better”? Just let people like things!
Anyway, my personal ranking of the series is as follows:
1. Prisoner of Azkaban
2. Deathly Hallows Part 2 (fight me idc)
3. Order of the Phoenix
4. Deathly Hallows Part 1
5. Goblet of Fire
6. Half-Blood Prince
7. Philosopher’s Stone (Sorcerer for the Americans)
8. Chamber of Secrets
Let your family enjoy it & get into it! That wholesomeness is what made your LOTR vidéo such a hit!!
So the girl who called you a dork for liking Lord of the Rings shows up in costume to watch Harry Potter. Oh how the tables have turned.
With the last one YOU BETTER ADD SNAPE MEMORIES SCENES
That opening “my girlfriend isn’t real”was so smoothly put in there lol too funny
Professor McGonagall saying '1, 2, 3, 1, 2 , 3' and the cat in the background looks like it's saying 'Why do I have to put up with this shit' :D
He looks so uncomfortable
The kitty's tail in sync!! i appreciate it
im just gonna explain why harry defeated voldemort so easily when he was 1, 11 and 12. first of all, when harry was eleven wasnt actually him that defeated voldemort, it was his mom. his mom sacrificed herself for him, and that made a magic that turned impossible for voldemort kill harry. thats why when voldemort used the avada spell it didnt worked. so the avada returned do voldemort, but voldemort didnt died cuz he had his horcruxes, but he became a ghost. so when harry was eleven, he fought with ghost voldemort, he was weak, and when harry burned voldemort it was again because of harrys mom. when he was 12, tom riddle wasnt the voldemort that everyone was scared of, tom riddle was a part of a soul of him, it was a part of a soul of voldemort when voldemort was 16. so yeah, he was teenager (and not even a real teenager, he was a part of soul of one). so i hope that expains to you a little why was that easy. and so sorry for my bad english,, im not fluent lol
This was explained in the series
Mom: *says anything*
Everyone: magic
It’s a deluminator, mom 😂
Wish I was there.. I’d happily answer all her questions 🤣🤣🤣
OMG I died at the dad’s joke of being sorry for the pumpkin 😂😂😂😂😂
I mean there is a reason Voldemort can’t kill Harry it is part of the plot😂😂 loved the video though, the reactions are so pure
Fitzhugh123 also the whole reason Voldermort is going after Harry isn’t just “because his motivation is he is evil” either. At the start it was out of fear for a prophecy, then as it went on his need to kill Harry became far more erratic, how was he supposed to amass a following if he can’t kill this one child, how can he aspire fear as long as there is someone who can oppose him with impunity, how can he be viewed as powerful if Harry Potter is his match. He doesn’t just want to kill Harry, he *needs* to in order to prove himself to his followers
“Did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?” Dumbledore said calmly.
Lol, the second I was wondering what happened to y’all... You go put out some content. Sweet
Timestamp 21:05 Dad: "I look forward to these things now, Kev" is a life moment not many children get with their fathers. Cherish these movie nights forever and always be forever grateful you had the foresight to record them. Also, you mom and Heather are just absolutely great.
IT'S NOT BETTER THAN LOTR YOU'RE SO RIGHT Kevin. COME AT ME COMMENTS I DARE YOU.
Also your dad's f**kin hilarious haha.
Yeah, I agree for the films. But I prefer the Harry Potter books than the LOTR books.
LOTR is shit lmao
She spilled as always
@@nilbog972 yeah, I get that
@@jadeeames8046 True
[22:51] Please inform yourself before making statements.
• Voldemort lost the first time because of the magical protection Harry's mother's sacrifice gave Harry.
• Voldemort didn't lose the second time. Quirinus Quirrel lost.
• Voldemort lost the third time, because he was only a memory. He couldn't stop Harry.
• Voldemort didn't lose the fourth time. It was a draw. I can't imagine how one can believe that Voldemort lost. Neither he nor Harry could win, because Voldemort's wand and Harry's share the same core (phoenix feather).
Since it’s October, would you consider reacting to horror movies with the family?
Good idea 😁
Voldemort's motive is to kill the kid because of a prophecy that says harry will kill him. Voldemort wants to be inmortal. He fears death. Etc.
I need the part 2 in My life.
Just saying.
We all have that one person in our families that starts to criticize everyone's enjoyment out. If you don't - that's probably you.
Now this is the type of content I like to see.
Your sister is so cute. All smiles and really gets into the movies. Love it!
As a young child that preferred documentaries and crime shows over cartoons, I will not say Harry Potter was ever too childish and I continue to watch the entire series at least once a year😂 and make my mum sit through it too.
Rewatching this again. Honestly, the best part is that it's a family coming together to bother each other about movies.
Dude You're trying too hard to hate the series. Trying to make it seem like You're too cool.
Bro your sister's love of weird little gremlin creatures is so relatable. I thought i was insane for thinking gollum was adorable.
YES i'm so excited for this installment
First 2 movies were great kids movies. John Williams Score, the childlike innocence, the vibrant colour palate was just pure magic in the eyes of many kids back then (including me). Maybe it’s nostalgia, but definitely my favourite potter movies. Ignore the silly IMDb reviews
I'm just really glad we can all agree. The 3rd is awesome
When your mother said "ridiculous" while watching the third movie I wheezed. It was soooo smooth and satisfying and she didn't even realized it lmao.
Prisoner of Azkaban FTW!
Those dad and son jokes made the experience even more enjoyable
I don't appreciate being called a huge dork by the guy who made the "piece of cake" joke, but I did enjoy the video so here we are 🤷😂 Looking forward to Part 2!
1:37 there´s definitly an life advice here : " if it´s confusing, it´s magic" haha
Your Dad's jokes are priceless 😂❤️
HURRY UP AND POST PART 2!!!! I’m living for this!
I will always prefer Harry Potter over any other fantasy film.
Yeah
Except marvel... Just saying it’s my opinion
Wrong
@Magnus Svavarsson while I prefer Harry Potter, I would agree lord of the rings is a bit better
I just spent the whole week watching the entire HP series for the first time (it’s screened back to back all week) and it was definitely one of the best film series I’ve seen.
Emporer Palpatine does way less things himself. He is like a puppet master, whereas Voldemort is too paranoid to trust others in their ability.
This video is incredibly well filmed and edited. Love the story you tell, especially since its one of those "dreaded" reaction videos. Not typically the most quality of RUclips content if we’re being frank. Thanks for the video!
No, thank you for the comment! Always appreciated
*Dumbledore with the deluminator in the first scene*
"What is that?"
Don't worry you'll see it again in about 7 movies
I LOVE your family. the LOTR video was so sweet and I can't wait for the remaining video(s) for the HP saga.
might I suggest 'the green mile' for the future?
I can never unsee the scene where the Beauxbatons students arrive after I saw the german coldmirror dub. Every time I see it my mind immediately goes to "WE ARE SO PRETTY WE FART BUTTERFLIES!" ;D
Dad jokes on point!
I love how your parents both realized “oh this series is getting really serious” when Amos Diggory is crying over Cedric’s body.
