This is the most English react channel I have found and I absolutely love you for it. "That's insane. Why would you put a playground next to a major roundabout. That is bonkers to me." I actually laughed hard and thought: "Damn he's got a point that is crazy and dangerous." The bus still looked cool coming through the roundabout tho.
That made me laugh too. No other reactor has mentioned that. Can't even remember if I've watched other British reactions to this, since I've seen so many reactions. But that definitely made me lol.
"But how're they gonna explain this? A random wooman floa'ing over Surrey??" My god, this is the most English reaction to Harry Potter I've ever seen. 😅
One of the things that was left out of the movie but was in The Prisoner of Azkaban novel is that James Potter (Harry's father), Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew were the original inventors of The Marauders Map. That is the reason why Professor Lupin knew how to use it. When the original Marauders were students in Hogwarts they were all best friends. When James, Sirius and Peter found out that Remus is a werewolf they decided to become Animagus (wizards that can willfully magically turn into an animal just like Professor McGonagall can turn into a cat) because werewolves don't attack other animals and Remus' friends didn't want him to be alone during the full moon period. This is why the map reveals the weird names when you use the "I solemnly swear I am up to no good" spell. They were the nicknames of the Marauders. Mooney is Remus Lupin because he is a werewolf. Padfoot is Sirius Black because his animagus form is a dog. Wormtail is Peter Pettigrew because his animagus form is a rat. And James Potter is Prongs because his animagus form is a stag. Dumbledore knew about Remus' condition and how Remus became a werewolf when he was only a very small child. So he had the Womping Willow tree planted and had a tunnel put in so that Remus could hide in the Shrieking Shack during the full moon cycle. 🌜🌕🌛🐺🐶🦌🐀🪄🌳🏚
I remember being so huffy when leaving the theater for this very reason. I was watching it with a non-Potterhead and explained this to them, while lamenting the fact that it wasn't in the movie. 😆 I thought it was such a good reveal in the book and definitely wanted to see it on film.
12:45 its expressed in the books that dumbledore very much did NOT want the dementors guarding hogwarts, he was outnumbered and convinced by the ministry
The reason Lupin didn’t help straight away on the train with the dementor was because he was sleeping off a recent transformation, which is extremely exhausting. He just happened to wake as the dementor was about to do any more damage to Harry. Incidentally the full moon at that time was early morning of 1st September so Lupin had become a werewolf that day a few hours before. Dementors suck out any feeling of happiness and make the victim feel depressed. If they aren’t stopped they will literally suck out your soul and you become an empty shell. While Harry didn’t technically get in their way on the train, the dementor felt Harry’s trauma and Harry’s main one is the death of his parents. That’s why every time he was attacked he could hear his mother screaming as she was murdered. Sirius transforms into a large black dog not a wolf. Rowling was clever with her character names. His name is taken from the brightest star in the night sky ‘Sirius the Dog Star’ and Remus Lupin is from Romulus and Remus, twins who founded the city of Rome who were found being raised by a She- Wolf and Lupin is derived from the Latin word for Wolf. So Sirius and Remus are literally Black Dog and Wolf raised by a Wolf.
My favorite things about Prisoner Of Azkaban: 1. The Dementor attack on the Hogwarts Express. (Perfect dose of horror and suspense). 2.The song "Double Trouble". (Which is a nod to the witches from the Shakespearean play Macbeth) 3. Hermione punching Malfoy right in his smug face. 4. The introduction of Gary Oldman as Sirius Black and David Thewlis as Remus Lupin. 5. Harry flying on Buckbeak's back over Hogwarts (SPECTACULAR scenery). 6. Harry learning to use The Patronus Charm from Professor Lupin. 7. Harry fully using The Patronus Charm to save Sirius and himself at the edge of the Black Lake.
It’s been said that Alfonso might’ve been a detriment to the rest of the series. He had to be reigned in a lot cos his ideas would conflict with the source material. Alfonso is very artsy so sometimes his ideas had to be reworked and sometimes rejected cos he would want to do crazy things just for the visual effect rather than them making logical sense. I think him just doing the one movie worked well cos he did an incredible job and managed to put his own stamp on the franchise. However I kinda wish he did goblet of fire too cos I hated Mike Newell as a director.
@@davidfairweather3301Makes sense, I reckon maybe keeping him on as a cinematographer would have been just as fine, if not directing himself. I like the look of the later films but they need a bit more dynamism, which Alfonso dished out in spades
I was literally just thinking this as well....if nothing else, I think his Half-Blood Prince would have been leagues better than what we got. Imagine a dark and brooding story exploring Voldemort's past, slowly building up to the reveal of the horcruxes. Maybe helming the rest of the series wouldn't have been apt, but I like to think what any one of the other films could have been like under his guidance. Like @david said, maybe Goblet of Fire at least. But idk if the Triwizard Tournament would have been his cup of tea.
Harry Potter is definitely addictive... This is the year Harry and Hermione both enter puberty. For Harry, he leaks some magic that manifests his Aunt Marge as being full of hot air, he talks back to Uncle Vernon and Snape, and he's just generally irritable over stupid stuff and injustice. For Hermione, it means she can't keep her hands off Ron (though she tries), she punches Draco (who deserves it), and she knocks over the Divination teacher's crystal ball in a fit of pique. Ron doesn't enter puberty until the next year/film, but when the hormones do rise for him, they hit hard! This film introduces the Dementors, a flesh and blood, feral, magical creature that subsists on the warm emotions from which we draw strength. These emotions that sustain both humankind and wizardkind are confidence, hope, love, and the like, ones that allow us to endure and flourish and are bound up in our very souls. Dementors absorb (suck) those energies out of their victims, leaving them hopeless, weakened, unable to think or plan, full of doubt and fear, lethargic. If the feeding is too deep, catatonia can set in. fully-fed, the victim will permanently lose their soul and be as if braindead. Any feeding at all results in some degree of terrible suffering, and most frightening for muggles is that they can't even see them; the only sign that they are near is that their absorption of anything 'warm' literally freezes everything near them. JK Rowling researched a great many magical creatures to write her saga of Harry Potter, and you can bet good money that the creatures she names were part of actual ancient belief, but Dementors were her own specific invention and based on her experiences battling clinical depression during her writing period. In the Wizarding World, the Ministry of Magic were able to utilize Dementors in a way that directed their problematic behavior to being of service to the community. Dementors may look humanlike, but they are wild animals with subhuman intelligence. Even so, the Ministry were able to train them to only graze, not feed deeply, on a specific confined population gathered at Azkaban, which kept those so imprisoned from having wits enough or strength enough or hope enough to escape their confinement. The Dementors then served in effect as prison guards, keeping dangerous dark wizards/witches segregated from decent law-abiding members of the Wizarding World and from revealing the World's existence from muggles. That's the ideal. But handling wild creatures has its failings, especially when the creatures go rogue (or are encouraged to go rogue). Actually, treating Dementor exposure with chocolate is genius, whether we're talking about Professor Lupin or the writer JK Rowling. Chocolate contains substances very similar to brain chemicals responsible for feelings of love and hope. The actual biochemistry agrees with the use of chocolate as a restorative of what the Dementors drain out of their victims. Concerning Dumbledore's 'party trick' with the candle flame: Every wizard or witch has a special talent or affinity, some innate ability, many of which is obvious. Harry is talented at flying, Hermione at spellcraft, Seamus at blowing stuff up, Snape at potions. For Dumbledore, it's far grander and expansive: the element of fire. There are hints of this in various places. He can manifest fire at will, whether at the end of a candle wick or in a far larger expanse. And the relationship between Dumbledore and Fawkes is mutual and voluntary. You cannot capture or enchant a phoenix; they are too strong-willed. Hagrid's depicted height: Robbie Coltrane was 6'1"; he had a body double who was 6'-8" tall and wore an animatronic head that provided expressions. Even so, various tricks (forced perspective, platform shoes, uneven flooring, postproduction methods, etc) were used to further distort height differences between Coltrane, his double, and other actors. A griffon is an eagle/lion blended magical creature. 'Hippo' derives from Greek 'horse'. So, the hippogriff is part horse and part eagle. The beak is scary enough, but the front feet are taloned, razor-sharp, and exceedingly muscle powered. Note: The basilisk and the hippogriff both were the product of both practical effects and minimal CGI. There was one basilisk head used (for close ups) and two animatronic hippogriffs (used in this film). Boggarts are another flesh and blood magical creature, this time from British folklore. They are not dangerous. They can read a person's deepest fears and shapeshift their appearance in order to scare off potential threats to themselves; it's a defense mechanism, not an offensive device. The idea to use them as a safe way to teach children how to control their fear response is another genius idea of Rowling's. Ron is so clueless about his own feelings for Hermione. But it says a lot that Ron is the only one noticing when she shows up when there was a moment prior no sign of her... I am so intrigued by the slow buildup of their relationship, just as I am intrigued by the story of Harry and Ginny. "Arresto momentum" is Latin (Italian, French, and Spanish are the romance languages, based on Roman Latin). It means to slow movement. It's known as the 'Slowing Charm' and is mostly used to mitigate impact by decreasing speed. When Lupin is teaching Harry the Patronus Charm, he's using a boggart in place of a Dementor to teach Harry to control his fear, just like in class previously. Harry is able to produce a basic shielding Patronus at second attempt, but the full Patronus (what you might call his protective spirit animal) isn't expressed until later. Professor Sybil Trelawney is a trance medium, an actual sybil, like the oracles of Delphi in ancient Greece. She enters trance without even knowing it and prophesizes. Her ability is sporadic, but when it hits it hits true. She is the source for the Potter/Voldemort prophesy stored in the Ministry's Dept of Mysteries. Likely Dumbledore brought Trelawney to Hogwarts to protect her and her information from Voldemort and gave her the position of Divination teacher to justify it to the Ministry of Magic (in spite of her questionable but honest attempts at teaching the subject).
As a native french speaker, love how you say Lupin 👍 It's related to the wolf word in latin and french. JK Rowling was a french teacher so she used some in the character's names, Vol-de-mort in french means thief of death/robbery of death for example.
He has to return as his blood that he shares with Petunia creates the protection he needs to keep safe frim Voldemort. As long as he considers it home and returns, he will have that blood protection. He would have left if it weren't for that.
And here comes my bit of info: Lupin had Harry's map. Of course he came rushing when he saw Sirius there. Unfortunately he neither brought or erased the map. When Professor Snape delivered Professor Lupin's Wolfbane elixir*, as he did every full moon on Dumbledore's kind request, he saw the map and saw his opportunity to turn both Lupin and Black in. Since Lupin didn't get his potion things went south from there. * The Wolfbane Elixir made the transition painfree and the werewolf harmless. Very tricky to brew, but Snape was Really good at potions.
James, Sirius and Peter were Lupin’s best friends at school and noticed him going missing every month. Lupin told them and instead of ditching him, they took a few years to train to become an animagus (which if you read what they had to do is crazy!). The whomping willow was planted the year lupin started so that when he transformed he could be in the shrieking shack and the tree stops anyone from going down there. The shack isn’t haunted at all, it’s lupin people heard. Snape was at school with them and Sirius played a joke on him to go down the tunnel to find something, but James found out and at the last minute saved snape who knew Sirius nearly had him killed. However, snape was is James’ debt, which is why in the first film he was so determined to save Harry (the quidditch match). None of this is explained in the film which is such a shame because it really deepens the understanding of some of the relationships and also why Snape is so arrogant with Harry. Part of him still thought James was in on Sirius’ joke and he just got cold feet.
Sorry to comment so much, I really should've watched the whole video and made one bit comment haha! According to wizarding world : The Patronus is the most famous (and famously difficult) defensive charm. The aim is to produce a silvery-white guardian or protector, which takes the form of an animal. The exact form of the Patronus will not be apparent until the spell has been successfully cast. One of the most powerful defensive charms known to wizard kind, the Patronus can also be used as a messenger between wizards. As a pure, protective magical concentration of happiness and hope (the recollection of a single talisman memory is essential in its creation) it is the only spell effective against Dementors. The majority of witches and wizards are unable to produce Patronuses and to do so is generally considered a mark of superior magical ability.
31:27 "If u want to Kill Harry. You'll have to kill us, too!" That is Ron's line. In the books, Ron stood on his BROKEN leg in front of Harry and Hermione and shouted that line and gave Sirius the "Try Me Bitch" stare. That is prolly the most badass thing Ron did in the books, and they gave that moment to Hermione.
Richard Harris was Dumbledore in the first 2 films; when he died, Michael Gambon took over the role for the rest of the series. He, along with many of the actors, are sadly no longer with us 😔
the time travel in this movie/book is the best version of time travel in my opinion, because it doesn't introduce multiple timelines. it's a closed loop, a self-fulfilling prophecy. granted this interpretation also means that free will canonically doesn't exist, and everything is predetermined, but just try not to think about that :)
Actually it doesn’t mean free will doesn’t exist. It just means that you will choose to do the same thing each time, no matter what, even if you have different thoughts in the moment(if it’s even possible to have different thoughts). Harry will always choose to save himself and Sirius. Hermione will always choose to throw the snail pebble thing at Harry. So you’d go back in the time loop, but if you didn’t know you were doing a particular act because of the time loop, or you could be totally aware and figure it out ahead of time what you needed to do in the time loop to cause the timeline to happen. Which probably means characters have the same thoughts every time they go back in time.
@@rafiki1017 everything you just described is exactly what i mean when i say free will doesn't exist. the timeline is purely deterministic. i like to think of it in video game terms. let's say you make save state of the universe at a moment in time. if people had free will, that would imply (to me) that each time you reload the save, people might make different choices. their will is not entirely determined by the conditions of the universe; some aspect of their will is "free." if free will does not exist, then every time you reload the save, events will play out in exactly the same way, because nothing has changed about the starting conditions. they only way to see anything different would be for a higher power with actual free will to alter something.
Yeah I have the same reaction towards Petunia not sticking up for her sister like yeah we can kkikiki about the dad sure 🙄 but she called your sister a WHAT and you are just sitting there like useless beef jerky!!!! 😂I swear the family makes me SICK & her redemption in the book ain’t all that because of this scene alone!
If I'm not mistaken, Harry Potter takes place in the 90s actually? Based on the muggle tech and the books. Prisoner of Azkaban for sure is when it starts just getting really real for the trio. It makes you wonder "why is it always you three" lmao
@@Masq1980not even fully grown wizard can cast a patronus it’s rumoured that Voldemort and the Death eater could not as they had no truly happy memories
I might have made this up in my head, but it is a smaller cohort of students at this time because these students were born during the first wizarding war with Voldemort so there were many deaths etc. hence why on average their are 5 boys and 5 girls per each house in each year group
When you see a daytime aerial shot of where Harry's aunt and uncle live you can see it's in the middle of a massive housing estate. A very normal family living in a very normal house driving a very normal car.
As the first line of the first book says, "Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much".
The marauders were: Prongs (stag)/James Potter, Wormtail (rat)/Peter Pettigrew, Padfoot/Sirius Black and Moony/Remus Lupin (which is why he knew how to operate the map). He used the map to trace Harry and saw he entered the passage to the shrieking shack but left it open so Snape saw it too. There are clues in the names: Sirius in astronomy is the dog star (not a wolf) so guess who's animagus is a Black dog? Remus was co-founder of Rome and was raised by wolves whereas Lupin is the Latin genus for wolf! There are 2 types of patronus: the shield (easier to do) and the corporeal which takes the form of an animal. Harry's is a stag and so was his dad's animagus & patronus.
of course certain parts had to be CGI, but they did actually build a full-size animatronic version of Buckbeak to use in scenes when they could. I've seen it at the studio tour.
Hi! Harry is doing his homework. Uncle Vernon gets very angry when Harry does his homework during the day so Harry has to sneak doing his school work at night when everyone has gone to bed.
Part of the genius of JK Rowling is that she put clues in the names of her characters. Sirius Black, of the pureblood family Black. 'Sirius' is the name of the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major (the Great Dog); Sirius is also known as the Dog Star. If you do a deep dive into the etymology of the word 'black', it actually refers to the bright intense fire within a fire's coals; the contrast between that heated heart and the crust that covers it is what we normally refer to as black, but it really describes that ever resurrecting fire and passion within. So, Sirius Black is an animagus. To become an animagus requires a lengthy and difficult training that is not successful for everyone (Professor McGonagall, another animagus, taught them and then withheld this information from the Ministry). When it is successful, you have no control over what form you can change into; that's set by character. In Sirius's case, he became a dog due to character features in common with the species: loyalty, protectiveness, teamwork, a pack animal sensibility. Sirius is a good man. Remus Lupin. 'Lupin' is Latin (not French) for 'wolf'. Sort of sets him up for this; but wait, there's MORE! 'Remus' was the name of the twin brother of Romulus (founded the city, culture, and empire of Rome; 'Rome' is derived from 'Romulus'). As infants, they were found abandoned in the woods by a she-wolf, who suckled them with her milk and kept them alive, raising them. Lupin's father tried to get the werewolf Fenrir Greyback arrested and tossed into Azkaban; Fenrir took especial glee in 'turning' children. But Lupin's father failed, and Fenrir got even by turning Remus as a very young child. Being a magical attack, Remus bears the permanent scars of his attack. Dumbledore saw the injustice of Remus facing prejudice for his condition even as a child, so he set things up at Hogwarts to hide Remus's condition (werewolves are supposed to be registered with the Ministry of Magic so they can be managed). He moved an outbuilding on school property to make it more isolate, put in a tunnel with one end inside the outbuilding and the other at an unused exit from the Hogwarts castle, and planted the Whomping Willow between the caste exit and the mouth of the tunnel to discourage the curious. The outbuilding was a place Remus could go to the nights he transformed, and it soon became known as the Shrieking Shack for Remus's screams issuing from it. Animagi are supposed to register with the Ministry of Magic, so the Ministry can oversee their activities, but Sirius, James Potter, and Peter Pettigrew withheld that information because they had become animagi in order to help their friend Lupin when he was a werewolf (animals cannot be infected with lycanthropy). They stayed with him and directed him away from potential victims, providing additional safety to Hogwarts students and staff. To aid them in this, they created the Marauders Map, which bears their nicknames: Moony (Remus the werewolf), Wormtail (Peter the rat), Padfoot (Sirius the dog), & Prongs (James the stag, which also is the form of his Patronus). This is why Remus knows what the map is and how to use it. Peter faked his death because by working with Voldemort to kill Harry's parents he became an enemy of the Wizarding World and feared Voldemort and his supporters; basically, he had burned all his bridges and had no friends or protections left. So, he faked his death, framed Sirius, and played rat for 12 years (rats have a 4-year lifespan). He had become the pet of one of Ron's brothers and handed down to Ron over time. Sirius went to Azkaban for a crime he not only didn't commit but had never happened. When a visitor brought a newspaper with a photo of the Weasleys in Egypt, he recognized Wormtail and was so enraged that he was able to raise the energy to transform into a dog and escape (Dementors aren't interested in animals, only more humanoid creatures). Remus had long thought one of his friends had killed Peter and betrayed James and Lily, but when Harry mentions seeing Peter on the Map, he worked out the full story. ______________________________________ The difference between 'time travel' in this story and how time travel is done in other stories is that Hermione and Harry aren't changing the 'timeline', they are fulfilling a 'time loop'. The things Hermione and Harry do in the time loop already happened; there is evidence of that. But most of it happened out of sight of the 'foreground' action; it happened as kind of background support. And even the first time around Buckbeak was not killed. Did you SEE him beheaded? You saw the executioner and you saw the axe come down, but there were trees and bushes obscuring the view. Buckbeak had been led away before the axe fell. If you fulfill all the events of the time loop, there are no time paradoxes to explode reality. Genius. And look at you! You're the first reactor of dozens I've watched who got it so quick or at all! The stag is Harry's full Patronus manifesting; incredible for only a fourth attempt. Confidence imparts power. (Notice muggleborn Hermione hates flying; explains her difficulty in the first film at getting her broom to respond successfully.)
Alfonso Cuarón is a fantastic director. I’m sure other people have thrown suggestions and fun facts already but you should definitely check out Children of Men by the same director. Incredible cinematography
In the Prisoner of Azkaban book, Professor McGonagall got permission from the Ministry of Magic to allow Hermione to borrow a Time Turner so that she may take as many classes as she like. But taking so many classes with the Time Turner began to take a large physical toll on Hermione. She was cramming almost 48 hours of living into a 24 hour day. She even started having a hard time staying awake during the day. By the very end of the book Hermione returned the Time Turner to Professor McGonagall not only because it was physically getting far too difficult to live that many extra hours in a single day but Hermione began to consider the Time Turner way too powerful of a temptation to use for other reasons. Like Hermione said to Harry, "Awful things happens to wizards who meddle with time". ⏳️🪄
@@marshallpeters7174 You could technically get around the plot hole problem though because it just creates a time loop every time, no time branches. Ironically, she created a plot hole herself by bringing back the time turned in that wretched cursed child story. If you think about it, Harry isn’t really supposed to be a h******(spoiler). It’s never really explained. And when she tries to explain it, it seems to just makes things worse.
Something really random, but something I find funny is that if you watch Fred and George closely as they sit down during the Leaky Calderon scene you can see one of them smack the other in the chin with his elbow on purpose. After that, while Mr. Weasley is talking to Harry, you can see the twin that got smacked get his revenge by shoving the other ones' drink up to his face, even grabbing his head when he tries to pull away 😂 Sorry if that makes no sense but go back and watch that scene while focusing on the twins it's funny seeing them muck around, and it actually making it into the movie
If you are interested in time travel, you can watch Somewhere in Time and Outlander the series. They are really far from Harry Potter, but it's time travel.
Tbh the one thing i was disappointed with in the movies is they never or rarely show Harry's patronus as a stag. Idk if it was budget, but it would've been nice to visually see Harry's patronus.
I'm not sure if their hairstyles were popular at the time these movies took place or if they were popular in the 90s which is when the books take place. Both possibly, from my recollection of both time periods. 😂 The fashion is definitely more 90s.
I don't understand your intro at all lol about reading to seeing it in theaters but not being able to catch them so there were gaps.... and they aligned with your age lol
I had read parts of the first books in school and was interested in the films as they were v popular at the time. However, as I was too young when they were releasing I couldn’t see the films in cinema (age ratings) so just kind of never tried to.
As a stand-alone movie this would be brilliant. As an adaption of a single book -- not great not terrible. BUT as an adaption of a book that is part of a 7-book-saga it is a disgrace to the source material.
The movie has a real virtuosity but i think there is a missing thing that is the azkhaban prisonners is no well treated, of course the abstract is there, but in the sensibility not. the movis doesn't work so much in the B.O. maybe for that. also The dementor is a dementaliser that's the root mental who need to find in "demenor". thing you will learn to do if you go one you're tolkien's study that I am happy you have begun.
I agree with Hogwarts being an Ofsted nightmare, but look at how all the kids turned out 🤷🏼♂️ If I had to fight a serpent, a diary and the dark lord by the time I hit college I woulda had a lot better handle on what life was gonna throw at me 😋😂
I'm used to (but repelled by) most people under 35 talking Americanisms from time to time but ffs mate, aren't you from the UK???? No one in the UK says 'Jump rope' - it's called 'Skipping'.
“Connecting to them like Bluetooth” is probably my favourite description of that scene in history😂😂😂

One of the things that was left out of the movie but was in The Prisoner of Azkaban novel is that James Potter (Harry's father), Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew were the original inventors of The Marauders Map. That is the reason why Professor Lupin knew how to use it. When the original Marauders were students in Hogwarts they were all best friends. When James, Sirius and Peter found out that Remus is a werewolf they decided to become Animagus (wizards that can willfully magically turn into an animal just like Professor McGonagall can turn into a cat) because werewolves don't attack other animals and Remus' friends didn't want him to be alone during the full moon period. This is why the map reveals the weird names when you use the "I solemnly swear I am up to no good" spell. They were the nicknames of the Marauders. Mooney is Remus Lupin because he is a werewolf. Padfoot is Sirius Black because his animagus form is a dog. Wormtail is Peter Pettigrew because his animagus form is a rat. And James Potter is Prongs because his animagus form is a stag.
Dumbledore knew about Remus' condition and how Remus became a werewolf when he was only a very small child. So he had the Womping Willow tree planted and had a tunnel put in so that Remus could hide in the Shrieking Shack during the full moon cycle.

Sirius transforms into a large black dog not a wolf. Rowling was clever with her character names. His name is taken from the brightest star in the night sky ‘Sirius the Dog Star’ and Remus Lupin is from Romulus and Remus, twins who founded the city of Rome who were found being raised by a She- Wolf and Lupin is derived from the Latin word for Wolf. So Sirius and Remus are literally Black Dog and Wolf raised by a Wolf.

I was literally just thinking this as well....if nothing else, I think his Half-Blood Prince would have been leagues better than what we got.

Maybe helming the rest of the series wouldn't have been apt, but I like to think what any one of the other films could have been like under his guidance. Like @david said, maybe Goblet of Fire at least. But idk if the Triwizard Tournament would have been his cup of tea.
@@kimberley3577The Halfblood Prince book IS dark and grim. The movie is mostly teen romance.
Harry Potter is definitely addictive...
This is the year Harry and Hermione both enter puberty.
For Harry, he leaks some magic that manifests his Aunt Marge as being full of hot air, he talks back to Uncle Vernon and Snape, and he's just generally irritable over stupid stuff and injustice.
For Hermione, it means she can't keep her hands off Ron (though she tries), she punches Draco (who deserves it), and she knocks over the Divination teacher's crystal ball in a fit of pique.
Ron doesn't enter puberty until the next year/film, but when the hormones do rise for him, they hit hard!
This film introduces the Dementors, a flesh and blood, feral, magical creature that subsists on the warm emotions from which we draw strength. These emotions that sustain both humankind and wizardkind are confidence, hope, love, and the like, ones that allow us to endure and flourish and are bound up in our very souls. Dementors absorb (suck) those energies out of their victims, leaving them hopeless, weakened, unable to think or plan, full of doubt and fear, lethargic. If the feeding is too deep, catatonia can set in. fully-fed, the victim will permanently lose their soul and be as if braindead. Any feeding at all results in some degree of terrible suffering, and most frightening for muggles is that they can't even see them; the only sign that they are near is that their absorption of anything 'warm' literally freezes everything near them.
JK Rowling researched a great many magical creatures to write her saga of Harry Potter, and you can bet good money that the creatures she names were part of actual ancient belief, but Dementors were her own specific invention and based on her experiences battling clinical depression during her writing period.
In the Wizarding World, the Ministry of Magic were able to utilize Dementors in a way that directed their problematic behavior to being of service to the community. Dementors may look humanlike, but they are wild animals with subhuman intelligence. Even so, the Ministry were able to train them to only graze, not feed deeply, on a specific confined population gathered at Azkaban, which kept those so imprisoned from having wits enough or strength enough or hope enough to escape their confinement. The Dementors then served in effect as prison guards, keeping dangerous dark wizards/witches segregated from decent law-abiding members of the Wizarding World and from revealing the World's existence from muggles.
That's the ideal. But handling wild creatures has its failings, especially when the creatures go rogue (or are encouraged to go rogue).
Actually, treating Dementor exposure with chocolate is genius, whether we're talking about Professor Lupin or the writer JK Rowling. Chocolate contains substances very similar to brain chemicals responsible for feelings of love and hope. The actual biochemistry agrees with the use of chocolate as a restorative of what the Dementors drain out of their victims.
Concerning Dumbledore's 'party trick' with the candle flame:
Every wizard or witch has a special talent or affinity, some innate ability, many of which is obvious. Harry is talented at flying, Hermione at spellcraft, Seamus at blowing stuff up, Snape at potions.
For Dumbledore, it's far grander and expansive: the element of fire. There are hints of this in various places. He can manifest fire at will, whether at the end of a candle wick or in a far larger expanse. And the relationship between Dumbledore and Fawkes is mutual and voluntary. You cannot capture or enchant a phoenix; they are too strong-willed.
Hagrid's depicted height:
Robbie Coltrane was 6'1"; he had a body double who was 6'-8" tall and wore an animatronic head that provided expressions. Even so, various tricks (forced perspective, platform shoes, uneven flooring, postproduction methods, etc) were used to further distort height differences between Coltrane, his double, and other actors.
A griffon is an eagle/lion blended magical creature. 'Hippo' derives from Greek 'horse'. So, the hippogriff is part horse and part eagle. The beak is scary enough, but the front feet are taloned, razor-sharp, and exceedingly muscle powered.
Note:
The basilisk and the hippogriff both were the product of both practical effects and minimal CGI. There was one basilisk head used (for close ups) and two animatronic hippogriffs (used in this film).
Boggarts are another flesh and blood magical creature, this time from British folklore. They are not dangerous. They can read a person's deepest fears and shapeshift their appearance in order to scare off potential threats to themselves; it's a defense mechanism, not an offensive device.
The idea to use them as a safe way to teach children how to control their fear response is another genius idea of Rowling's.
Ron is so clueless about his own feelings for Hermione. But it says a lot that Ron is the only one noticing when she shows up when there was a moment prior no sign of her...
I am so intrigued by the slow buildup of their relationship, just as I am intrigued by the story of Harry and Ginny.
"Arresto momentum" is Latin (Italian, French, and Spanish are the romance languages, based on Roman Latin).
It means to slow movement. It's known as the 'Slowing Charm' and is mostly used to mitigate impact by decreasing speed.
When Lupin is teaching Harry the Patronus Charm, he's using a boggart in place of a Dementor to teach Harry to control his fear, just like in class previously.
Harry is able to produce a basic shielding Patronus at second attempt, but the full Patronus (what you might call his protective spirit animal) isn't expressed until later.
Professor Sybil Trelawney is a trance medium, an actual sybil, like the oracles of Delphi in ancient Greece. She enters trance without even knowing it and prophesizes. Her ability is sporadic, but when it hits it hits true. She is the source for the Potter/Voldemort prophesy stored in the Ministry's Dept of Mysteries.
Likely Dumbledore brought Trelawney to Hogwarts to protect her and her information from Voldemort and gave her the position of Divination teacher to justify it to the Ministry of Magic (in spite of her questionable but honest attempts at teaching the subject).
As a native french speaker, love how you say Lupin 👍 It's related to the wolf word in latin and french. JK Rowling was a french teacher so she used some in the character's names, Vol-de-mort in french means thief of death/robbery of death for example.
He has to return as his blood that he shares with Petunia creates the protection he needs to keep safe frim Voldemort. As long as he considers it home and returns, he will have that blood protection. He would have left if it weren't for that.
Lol, you "How could you leave Scabbers?" Me, laughing sinisterly. 😆😅😂
A Hippogriff is half Eagle/ half Horse vs. a Griffon is half Eagle/ half Lion. Both can fly and be ridden
And here comes my bit of info:
Lupin had Harry's map. Of course he came rushing when he saw Sirius there.
Unfortunately he neither brought or erased the map.
When Professor Snape delivered Professor Lupin's Wolfbane elixir*, as he did every full moon on Dumbledore's kind request, he saw the map and saw his opportunity to turn both Lupin and Black in. Since Lupin didn't get his potion things went south from there.
* The Wolfbane Elixir made the transition painfree and the werewolf harmless.
Very tricky to brew, but Snape was Really good at potions.
The chocolate is just chocolate. It makes the brain release endorphins that make you feel better.
And perhaps more importantly, brings your bloodsugar up, which tends to drop when you faint.
The dementors represent depression and chocolate helps.
James, Sirius and Peter were Lupin’s best friends at school and noticed him going missing every month. Lupin told them and instead of ditching him, they took a few years to train to become an animagus (which if you read what they had to do is crazy!). The whomping willow was planted the year lupin started so that when he transformed he could be in the shrieking shack and the tree stops anyone from going down there. The shack isn’t haunted at all, it’s lupin people heard. Snape was at school with them and Sirius played a joke on him to go down the tunnel to find something, but James found out and at the last minute saved snape who knew Sirius nearly had him killed. However, snape was is James’ debt, which is why in the first film he was so determined to save Harry (the quidditch match).
None of this is explained in the film which is such a shame because it really deepens the understanding of some of the relationships and also why Snape is so arrogant with Harry. Part of him still thought James was in on Sirius’ joke and he just got cold feet.
Do you remember what James’s animagus was?
Definitely my favourite of all the movies. So glad your now watching these films .
Sorry to comment so much, I really should've watched the whole video and made one bit comment haha!
According to wizarding world :
The Patronus is the most famous (and famously difficult) defensive charm. The aim is to produce a silvery-white guardian or protector, which takes the form of an animal. The exact form of the Patronus will not be apparent until the spell has been successfully cast. One of the most powerful defensive charms known to wizard kind, the Patronus can also be used as a messenger between wizards. As a pure, protective magical concentration of happiness and hope (the recollection of a single talisman memory is essential in its creation) it is the only spell effective against Dementors. The majority of witches and wizards are unable to produce Patronuses and to do so is generally considered a mark of superior magical ability.
Very nicely explained!
31:27 "If u want to Kill Harry. You'll have to kill us, too!" That is Ron's line. In the books, Ron stood on his BROKEN leg in front of Harry and Hermione and shouted that line and gave Sirius the "Try Me Bitch" stare. That is prolly the most badass thing Ron did in the books, and they gave that moment to Hermione.
Richard Harris was Dumbledore in the first 2 films; when he died, Michael Gambon took over the role for the rest of the series. He, along with many of the actors, are sadly no longer with us 😔
Sadly, Dame Maggie Smith, who played Minerva McGonagall died peacefully at age 89 this morning *wands up*
I’m so excited you’re going on this journey! Great reactions
Made me laugh how scared you got in this one lol. Great reactions dude.
My favourite book by far! The foreshadowing in this book is fantastic.
the time travel in this movie/book is the best version of time travel in my opinion, because it doesn't introduce multiple timelines. it's a closed loop, a self-fulfilling prophecy. granted this interpretation also means that free will canonically doesn't exist, and everything is predetermined, but just try not to think about that :)
Actually it doesn’t mean free will doesn’t exist. It just means that you will choose to do the same thing each time, no matter what, even if you have different thoughts in the moment(if it’s even possible to have different thoughts). Harry will always choose to save himself and Sirius. Hermione will always choose to throw the snail pebble thing at Harry. So you’d go back in the time loop, but if you didn’t know you were doing a particular act because of the time loop, or you could be totally aware and figure it out ahead of time what you needed to do in the time loop to cause the timeline to happen. Which probably means characters have the same thoughts every time they go back in time.
@@rafiki1017 everything you just described is exactly what i mean when i say free will doesn't exist. the timeline is purely deterministic.
i like to think of it in video game terms. let's say you make save state of the universe at a moment in time. if people had free will, that would imply (to me) that each time you reload the save, people might make different choices. their will is not entirely determined by the conditions of the universe; some aspect of their will is "free."
if free will does not exist, then every time you reload the save, events will play out in exactly the same way, because nothing has changed about the starting conditions. they only way to see anything different would be for a higher power with actual free will to alter something.
"has she discovered caffeine" sent me bro
40:16 patronuses appear as animals when in full form.
Bruh idc if that’s a corny joke, I laughed so hard about Hermione on caffeine 💀
demon with an accent got me good.. xD
11:45 that Seinfeld bass riff had me rolling 😂
This is my favorite movie of all of them.
Because of the introduction of Sirius and Lupin and the way they handled the time-turner!
Watch on...
Yeah I have the same reaction towards Petunia not sticking up for her sister like yeah we can kkikiki about the dad sure 🙄 but she called your sister a WHAT and you are just sitting there like useless beef jerky!!!! 😂I swear the family makes me SICK & her redemption in the book ain’t all that because of this scene alone!
29:59 I laughed so hard at “Starbucks Era” that I broke the crunchy taco I was eating. 😂
If I'm not mistaken, Harry Potter takes place in the 90s actually? Based on the muggle tech and the books. Prisoner of Azkaban for sure is when it starts just getting really real for the trio. It makes you wonder "why is it always you three" lmao
Yeah, it does. The book timeline is from 1991-1998
Ron answers that question in The Half Blood Prince lmao
this one had always been my favourite I remember why
R.i.p Dame Maggie smith, the one and only professor McGonagall.
i searched for this video on your channel 20min ago and now its up :D:D:D:D
He said ‘Moping Myrtle ‘ Lol
That's actually much better! "Moaning" just opens up a whole can of double-entendres 😏
@@MrIcelander Especially once we get to Goblet of Fire and the bath scene, ooh-la-la.
Everyone's Patronus takes the form of an animal. Harry's Patronus is a stag.
Like his Dad’s!
though not everyone can produce a corporeal patronus, but may still cast it as a shield
@@Masq1980not even fully grown wizard can cast a patronus it’s rumoured that Voldemort and the Death eater could not as they had no truly happy memories
Dumbledore on speed dial lmao! you are too funny ! 😂
I might have made this up in my head, but it is a smaller cohort of students at this time because these students were born during the first wizarding war with Voldemort so there were many deaths etc. hence why on average their are 5 boys and 5 girls per each house in each year group
When you see a daytime aerial shot of where Harry's aunt and uncle live you can see it's in the middle of a massive housing estate. A very normal family living in a very normal house driving a very normal car.
As the first line of the first book says, "Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much".
The Firebolt is a broom that flies 150 miles per hour!!
I’m LOVINGGG your reactions to my favorite movies 🎉🎉🎉
'Dementor' is derived from the Latin 'dēmens', which translates to 'insane'.
Lupin is a Werewolf. Sirius, Peter and JAMES chose to be animagus so that Lupin wasnt alone. Or something like that, Pretty cool!
Loving your reactions so far! You have me cracking up laughing with your bad puns!
Dark art teachers changed every year because Voldemort wanted the job but Dumbledore said no. And after that no teacher lasted more than a year.
The marauders were: Prongs (stag)/James Potter, Wormtail (rat)/Peter Pettigrew, Padfoot/Sirius Black and Moony/Remus Lupin (which is why he knew how to operate the map). He used the map to trace Harry and saw he entered the passage to the shrieking shack but left it open so Snape saw it too. There are clues in the names: Sirius in astronomy is the dog star (not a wolf) so guess who's animagus is a Black dog? Remus was co-founder of Rome and was raised by wolves whereas Lupin is the Latin genus for wolf! There are 2 types of patronus: the shield (easier to do) and the corporeal which takes the form of an animal. Harry's is a stag and so was his dad's animagus & patronus.
of course certain parts had to be CGI, but they did actually build a full-size animatronic version of Buckbeak to use in scenes when they could. I've seen it at the studio tour.
smart, great sense of humor, calm, top notch reactions.
Yaaay and the journey continues! 😍💪🏻
Hi! Harry is doing his homework. Uncle Vernon gets very angry when Harry does his homework during the day so Harry has to sneak doing his school work at night when everyone has gone to bed.
The break for the Seinfeld theme got me good 😂
Love your comments. I've had so many of the same thoughts watching these films.
Jamaica is a commonwealth country and as such is not unusual to find their citizens living in the UK.
Part of the genius of JK Rowling is that she put clues in the names of her characters.
Sirius Black, of the pureblood family Black.
'Sirius' is the name of the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major (the Great Dog); Sirius is also known as the Dog Star.
If you do a deep dive into the etymology of the word 'black', it actually refers to the bright intense fire within a fire's coals; the contrast between that heated heart and the crust that covers it is what we normally refer to as black, but it really describes that ever resurrecting fire and passion within.
So, Sirius Black is an animagus. To become an animagus requires a lengthy and difficult training that is not successful for everyone (Professor McGonagall, another animagus, taught them and then withheld this information from the Ministry). When it is successful, you have no control over what form you can change into; that's set by character. In Sirius's case, he became a dog due to character features in common with the species: loyalty, protectiveness, teamwork, a pack animal sensibility. Sirius is a good man.
Remus Lupin.
'Lupin' is Latin (not French) for 'wolf'. Sort of sets him up for this; but wait, there's MORE!
'Remus' was the name of the twin brother of Romulus (founded the city, culture, and empire of Rome; 'Rome' is derived from 'Romulus'). As infants, they were found abandoned in the woods by a she-wolf, who suckled them with her milk and kept them alive, raising them.
Lupin's father tried to get the werewolf Fenrir Greyback arrested and tossed into Azkaban; Fenrir took especial glee in 'turning' children. But Lupin's father failed, and Fenrir got even by turning Remus as a very young child. Being a magical attack, Remus bears the permanent scars of his attack.
Dumbledore saw the injustice of Remus facing prejudice for his condition even as a child, so he set things up at Hogwarts to hide Remus's condition (werewolves are supposed to be registered with the Ministry of Magic so they can be managed). He moved an outbuilding on school property to make it more isolate, put in a tunnel with one end inside the outbuilding and the other at an unused exit from the Hogwarts castle, and planted the Whomping Willow between the caste exit and the mouth of the tunnel to discourage the curious. The outbuilding was a place Remus could go to the nights he transformed, and it soon became known as the Shrieking Shack for Remus's screams issuing from it.
Animagi are supposed to register with the Ministry of Magic, so the Ministry can oversee their activities, but Sirius, James Potter, and Peter Pettigrew withheld that information because they had become animagi in order to help their friend Lupin when he was a werewolf (animals cannot be infected with lycanthropy). They stayed with him and directed him away from potential victims, providing additional safety to Hogwarts students and staff. To aid them in this, they created the Marauders Map, which bears their nicknames: Moony (Remus the werewolf), Wormtail (Peter the rat), Padfoot (Sirius the dog), & Prongs (James the stag, which also is the form of his Patronus). This is why Remus knows what the map is and how to use it.
Peter faked his death because by working with Voldemort to kill Harry's parents he became an enemy of the Wizarding World and feared Voldemort and his supporters; basically, he had burned all his bridges and had no friends or protections left. So, he faked his death, framed Sirius, and played rat for 12 years (rats have a 4-year lifespan). He had become the pet of one of Ron's brothers and handed down to Ron over time.
Sirius went to Azkaban for a crime he not only didn't commit but had never happened. When a visitor brought a newspaper with a photo of the Weasleys in Egypt, he recognized Wormtail and was so enraged that he was able to raise the energy to transform into a dog and escape (Dementors aren't interested in animals, only more humanoid creatures).
Remus had long thought one of his friends had killed Peter and betrayed James and Lily, but when Harry mentions seeing Peter on the Map, he worked out the full story.
______________________________________
The difference between 'time travel' in this story and how time travel is done in other stories is that Hermione and Harry aren't changing the 'timeline', they are fulfilling a 'time loop'.
The things Hermione and Harry do in the time loop already happened; there is evidence of that. But most of it happened out of sight of the 'foreground' action; it happened as kind of background support.
And even the first time around Buckbeak was not killed. Did you SEE him beheaded? You saw the executioner and you saw the axe come down, but there were trees and bushes obscuring the view. Buckbeak had been led away before the axe fell.
If you fulfill all the events of the time loop, there are no time paradoxes to explode reality.
Genius.
And look at you! You're the first reactor of dozens I've watched who got it so quick or at all!
The stag is Harry's full Patronus manifesting; incredible for only a fourth attempt. Confidence imparts power.
(Notice muggleborn Hermione hates flying; explains her difficulty in the first film at getting her broom to respond successfully.)
It's just so nice to see someone enjoying something that I enjoyed and has been important to me since the books came out. I grew with them!
Alfonso Cuarón is a fantastic director. I’m sure other people have thrown suggestions and fun facts already but you should definitely check out Children of Men by the same director. Incredible cinematography
In the Prisoner of Azkaban book, Professor McGonagall got permission from the Ministry of Magic to allow Hermione to borrow a Time Turner so that she may take as many classes as she like. But taking so many classes with the Time Turner began to take a large physical toll on Hermione. She was cramming almost 48 hours of living into a 24 hour day. She even started having a hard time staying awake during the day. By the very end of the book Hermione returned the Time Turner to Professor McGonagall not only because it was physically getting far too difficult to live that many extra hours in a single day but Hermione began to consider the Time Turner way too powerful of a temptation to use for other reasons. Like Hermione said to Harry, "Awful things happens to wizards who meddle with time".
⏳️🪄
Also, J. K. Rowling discovered it's really hard to write about time travel without introducing major plot holes.
@@marshallpeters7174 You could technically get around the plot hole problem though because it just creates a time loop every time, no time branches. Ironically, she created a plot hole herself by bringing back the time turned in that wretched cursed child story. If you think about it, Harry isn’t really supposed to be a h******(spoiler). It’s never really explained. And when she tries to explain it, it seems to just makes things worse.
Something really random, but something I find funny is that if you watch Fred and George closely as they sit down during the Leaky Calderon scene you can see one of them smack the other in the chin with his elbow on purpose. After that, while Mr. Weasley is talking to Harry, you can see the twin that got smacked get his revenge by shoving the other ones' drink up to his face, even grabbing his head when he tries to pull away 😂
Sorry if that makes no sense but go back and watch that scene while focusing on the twins it's funny seeing them muck around, and it actually making it into the movie
I've never noticed that before!
@Masq1980 I came across someone pointing it out on Tiktok and I can't unsee it now haha
If you are interested in time travel, you can watch Somewhere in Time and Outlander the series. They are really far from Harry Potter, but it's time travel.
Keep it up KP! Loving the content
Tbh the one thing i was disappointed with in the movies is they never or rarely show Harry's patronus as a stag. Idk if it was budget, but it would've been nice to visually see Harry's patronus.
Lupin is a werewolf but Sirius is an animagus(black dog) just like professor McGonagall (grey striped cat) and Peter Pettigrew (rat).
The way I clicked sooo fast. So excited to get into this. 😂❤🎉
The Harry Potter book series is the best children's literature since CS Lewis wrote the Narnia series.
30:00 it's ok I laughed out loud too 😂
Hypocrites are proud creatures.
“Hey listen”
I'm not sure if their hairstyles were popular at the time these movies took place or if they were popular in the 90s which is when the books take place. Both possibly, from my recollection of both time periods. 😂 The fashion is definitely more 90s.
LET'S GOOOO
RIP Maggie Smith, our professor McGonagall 😢❤
They on,y explain in books the reason he went back to his aunts was because they had a spell to protect him only at there place
JK Rowling said the dementors are her visual representation of depression.
Mrs Weasley is all time MVP in my book!
The boys a sniper 😂😂😂😂
This was the first DVD of harry Potter we watched..... And we got it bootleg. It was super dark. Hard to see. And we watched it so many times.
1 second into the video and I know you’re a real one 😅
That’s just demon with an accent 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
31:05 she is very strong.
This is so year 9 😂😂😂
I'd put this on par with American werewolf in London
Welcome to "the trippy one" of the series 🙃😵💫🤯🤓
Old hyperintelligence white guy with a long beard in magical powers yup just I'm guessing a lot less weed than gandalf 😅
Not Lupon but Lupin. In French lupin means wolf-like.
Imma need you to post yourt reaction to Order of the Pheonix ASAP, sir! Thanks, management. 😊😊
Cool your balls is a new one. I have never heard it before
I don't understand your intro at all lol about reading to seeing it in theaters but not being able to catch them so there were gaps.... and they aligned with your age lol
I had read parts of the first books in school and was interested in the films as they were v popular at the time. However, as I was too young when they were releasing I couldn’t see the films in cinema (age ratings) so just kind of never tried to.
It amuses me that you're already commenting on the hair because I think of the next film as "Harry Potter And the Year No One Got a Haircut." 🤣
As a stand-alone movie this would be brilliant. As an adaption of a single book -- not great not terrible. BUT as an adaption of a book that is part of a 7-book-saga it is a disgrace to the source material.
The movie has a real virtuosity but i think there is a missing thing that is the azkhaban prisonners is no well treated, of course the abstract is there, but in the sensibility not. the movis doesn't work so much in the B.O. maybe for that. also The dementor is a dementaliser that's the root mental who need to find in "demenor". thing you will learn to do if you go one you're tolkien's study that I am happy you have begun.
My man speaks Italian??
I agree with Hogwarts being an Ofsted nightmare, but look at how all the kids turned out 🤷🏼♂️ If I had to fight a serpent, a diary and the dark lord by the time I hit college I woulda had a lot better handle on what life was gonna throw at me 😋😂
Dementors suck out happines
I'm used to (but repelled by) most people under 35 talking Americanisms from time to time but ffs mate, aren't you from the UK????
No one in the UK says 'Jump rope' - it's called 'Skipping'.
watching the movie pirated is crazy - but it has my blessing.
