I'm not defending Snape one bit. He is a racist and deserves no sympathy in this context. But James is still an arse: he didn't bully Snape because he was a racist. He bullied Snape because he was poor, unattractive and friends with Lily. We know that he and Sirius also picked on other children. We also know that James continued to bully Snape even after he got together with Lily. We know that he knowingly put his family in danger by going on stupid rambles with Sirius, even though he and Lily were already in Voldemort's sights. We don't need to compare Snape's and James' actions, we don't need to get into the debate of who was worse, Snape's actions were definitely worse. The bullying does not excuse Snape's racism. However, James' bullying does not need to be minimised
A reminder that Imelda Staunton is such a lovely person, and Umbridge such a HAG, that when she was playing Umbridge, Imelda reportedly had at least one, and probably more, instance where playing the character made her feel physically ill. That's how good she was at the character she was playing--disgusted by her own acting. Legend!
Here’s hoping she wins the Emmy for her performance in the final season of “The Crown.” It was so subtle yet so powerful. It cemented her as one of my all time favorites
I bet he thinks of bitch slapping them when he performs the Patronus charm (I know it's technically a memory you have to think about but I feel like wishful thinking would work just as well)
In defense of James, he was a bully as a teenager, time we all make mistakes, and from what people said about him, he outgrew it probably thanks to Lily. While Snape was a bully as an adult, and even worse, he would bully children.
I never understood young Snape. He knew Lily was muggleborn yet his ambition was to be a wizard knot-sea & join Voldemort after he (Snape) got out of school. Snape knew Voldemort’s plan was to eliminate muggleborns & en$l@ve muggles. It never occurred to him that Lily & her family would be harmed? Did he think he’d be able to protect her from his more powerful master? Once he was a wizard knot-sea & Lily was targeted he did ask her to be spared but Snape obviously had no confidence that Voldemort would keep his word not to harm her so he went to Dumbledore. Honestly, how could Snape believe that Lily would be allowed to live if Voldemort had won the first Wizarding War? Was he truly that naive & clueless? Did he really think “I’m gonna join up with this group of raging blood purists & help them eliminate all the Mudbloods EXCEPT the one I care about. She’ll be allowed to live a long happy life with me once we get rid of her arrogant toe rag of a husband & his annoying brat.”? I mean, c’mon! Really?! Snape is just an @$$hole.
@@learobinson4450DISCLAIMER I hate book Snape but I think he makes sense. He knew Lily before coming into howgards, before he became a supremacist. I think he was an ambitious lost kid looking to know more about dark magic and a group to belong and the ideology of this particular group (pureblood and stuffs) was (at first) a requiement to belong and fed into his inferiority complex. However Lily was the only true friend he ever had and the only person to show him kindness so he selfishly didn't want to loose her (while still be a death eater) and became obsessed of her because of what she once gave him (true affection). He didn't actually love her he just *wanted* her. Yes it is still pretty -stupid- contradictory, immature and selfish but sometimes people, real people are like that too.
literally looking for this comment. James was a prick but as he grew up he matured and stopped bullying others. Severus didn't move on, was a racist that bullied children, was apart of the most catastrophic group of people that intended on killing others because they were supremacists, gave the most evil person information and once it threatened the woman he called a slur, then he freaked out. he then became a teacher despite hating kids and was at least 1 kids worst fear. he bullied Harry Potter because he looked like his dad, Ron because he was a Weasley, Hermione because she was smart,neville because he wasn't. I love the theory of Harriet potter, with her red hair and freckles with his dads eyes, because we know Snape would not have hated him nearly as much.
Doesn't matter. James didn't only bully Severus. And it doesn't matter that he eventually grew up to realise he was a cunt. He was still a cunt and his victims have to live with that trauma and live with the fact they can't even be angry because "James was a war hero who died protecting Lily and Harry." Yea he died protecting the way he got his dick wet and his spawn. Doesn't make him a better person, just means he was aware that there was a line.
“They used 4 stunning spells. 7 takes down a dragon!” That’s right! That’s our McGonagal! Baddies knew they had to take her out because, if they hadn’t, they’d have been McGonna-Gone!! 🎉
Yeah, I read the book as well, and what I wish they added for McGonagal, was the Career Advice, thing, because Umbridge and McGonagal practicaly had a screaming match!
First of all, my girl McG needs more... how do I say this without insulting the people who like Harry and not McGonagall... she needs more of less Harry. He just sucks. He has no idea what he was doing, no matter what he did and who helped him. My dude is dumber than Dumbledore and his name has the word dumb in it. So that's saying something. Also, kinda sad that it happened in the first place, but, like... I kinda want it to be in the movies too. If only the director had actually read the books! Not saying it isn't good or anything.
You know what, Hermione should've been smart enough to use the chamber of secrets to practice, because the pink devil would've been too dumb to find it
I love that she specified that Imelda is wonderful no matter how many insults are hurled at Umbridge. The Dame deserves an Emmy for her performance in the last season of the Crown. She plays Elizabeth with such depth of emotion while maintaining the stoicism Elizabeth was known for. A deeply affecting performance.
@@Chanwills0 I'm assuming you're the age the character was supposed to be in the first movie does the actors are like decades older than their characters in the series unless you count the children which are usually within a year or two of their characters age at least when they got cast
First of all, this was perfection, as always. Second of all, huge thank you for the James Potter nuance-adding commentary!! It's wild to me that people hate on him so much. All the points you made are so spot on, including that we have to be willing to admit that Snape's perspective on James is of course going to be biased! And agreed -- bullying is never ok. But why are we so quick to forgive Snape's (racist, slur-slinging) bullying, and not James's? I absolutely believe it's a combination of our collective love of Alan Rickman (justified) and our buying into the author's own biases that are responsible for all the James hate / Snape forgiveness. Snape has his moments. Absolutely. I'm not a Snape-hater. But when you look at Snape's character throughout the books -- he, as an adult, continues to mistreat/bully children (Harry, Hermione, Neville) throughout his teaching time. I cannot imagine Lily would have condoned much of his behavior. I can empathize with his character, of course. And I love Alan Rickman five-ever, as some might say ;) But it seems really hypocritical to forgive Snape and come down so hard on James. Ok. Thank you for indulging my covid-brain-induced rant! Watching this brought me a lot of joy while feeling particularly crummy. You're amazing!
Imelda's performance defined my standards for villain acting. Every subtle change in voice and posture made Umbridge indescribably awful. Props to the set designers, makeup artists, and clothing people too 😳
@@Chanwills0I hated every scene with that pompous, putrid, petulant, pink-clad porcupine. If I were at Hogwarts, it would have been worth the trip to Azkaban just to hit Toadette with the Cruciatus Curse.
I have to say, I always LOVED that Minerva took that step down in that verbal joust with Umbridge - to me, it's like she's demonstrating her allegiance, taking a step back to place herself between the perceived threat and the students she is sworn to protect as a Hogwarts professor. Minnie stands WITH the students, and will fight feline tooth and claw to protect her young charges.
Hermione is the perfect example of "not everyone who gaslights is a narcissist." Instead of saying "there aren't any voices" or "nothing is pulling the carriage", she easily could've said "I don't hear/see anything."
It’s important to remember that for all of her studying, she was raised as a muggle for a majority of her life. I think there were times where she let her logical mind take precedence when she wasn’t aware of some magical explanation. If she didn’t know it, it must not exist.
@@cloudwatcher608 That's not an excuse, especially considering she not only did it about the basilisk in Chamber of Secrets and was proven wrong, but she also did it again when Harry heard screams every time the dementors got close to him in Prisoner of Azkaban. To make it even worse, she did it twice in Order of The Phoenix: the first time was when Harry saw thestrals pulling the carriages, and he was backed up by Luna pretty much straight away, and Hermione did it a second time at the end of the same book and film when Harry said he could hear voices beyond the veil, and he was backed up by Luna again pretty much straight away. Hermione really should've known better considering she would have read that muggles can't see ghosts but witches and wizards can in her favourite book Hogwarts: A History. There is no excuse for gaslighting.
Your McGonagall voice is the best I've heard. I never knew I needed McGonagall reacting to Harry Potter movies so badly. This was bloody brilliant ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hi everyone! Sad fact at 29:30 I remember reading that they muted Dan’s scream because it was supposedly that guttural. He had also recently lost his grandmother I believe as well so it was very raw for him
I heard that was just a rumor and not actually true, at least the part about them cutting the scream idk about the grandmother thing so I’ll take your word on that
i LOVE watching these, they are so entertaining! i agree that they should have added the scene where McGonagall gets hit by "FOUR stunning spells, when SEVEN takes out a dragon 🐲."
Imelda Staunton is such a talented actress and I absolutely love her acting. And she played Umbridge soooooooooo well. Honestly, she deserves an Oscar for it.
I love the witch watches series it’s been so funny and all of your voices are shockingly accurate and it’s all hilarious, also your squeak when Harry hugs serious is so cute, and I love the hermione voice
Book five was when McGonagall went from a device to deliver exposition and plot advancement to my favorite character in the series. It's really a shame how much of her awesomeness was cut in the film. She gave Umbridge third degree burns during that career counseling session and reading about strict, rule abiding McGonagall casually condoning chaos at Hogwarts was so cathartic.
Or the fact that as a muggleborn, she's never heard of schizophrenia and never at any point wanted to many suggest to Harry to get a therapist to help him with his "delusions" and instead just said "Naw mate, there's nothing here, get your eyes and ears checked."
This was an absolute riot, I love your McGonagall impression! And thank you for the disclaimer about Umbridge's actress; it's a sign of her prowess that we dislike the character as much as we do!
Ikr! This entire video feels like a whole validation of everything I've believed of James the whole time! And her roasts of umbitch are the absolute best
Yeah I never thought James was a bad guy he bullied Snape mostly cause he kept calling people mudbloods. Even Ron was about to curse Draco when he called Hermione a mud blood but no one hates on that.
People always bring up how james was a bully and act like snape was just a victim when he was going around with Lucius and his friend calling people mudblood and cursing them while snape found it funny and lily actually called him out for it and snape being snape didn't like it
These videos are super funny. Yesterday, I was cackling at the Goblet of Fire one so hard I couldn't breathe. Also, your laugh is HILARIOUS!! I love it!!!
You know when you look at how long it’s been since a video has been released, and then you remember watching it BEFORE that time? Yeah I just had that feeling
"I love a profiterole, I'm a sucker for some choux pastery. Some tasty choux pastery. Oh, I'm a poet and didn't know it." That entire rant was amazing 👏 Chef's kiss
CHANEL! i was just watching your GOF one lol.. McGonagall really needs a raise, she carried the whole of hogwarts on her back and still had to deal with the tumultuous toad!
This is the movie where Fred and George had a massive glow up 😍😍😍 this also has to be one of, if not my favourite movie in the Harry Potter movies. But overall my third favourite movie ever, my first favourite being, “The Black Phone”. The book was written by Joe hill and the movie was directed by Scott Derrickson and featuring Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw, Ethan Hawk, Jeremy Davies, E. Roger Mitchell, Troy Rudeseal, James Ransone, Miguel Mora and many more.
Another iconic scene missed was with Peeves and McGonagall where he's unscrewing a crystal chandelier when *Professor. Minerva. McGonagall.* catches him and tells him to unscrew it the other way (the right way)!!!!
Your descriptions of umbridge are almost identical to what my grandad said about her when we read the books when i was a kid! Haha proper cheered me up!
Every time I watch OotP I wish that McGonagall was just a little less refined and would've backhanded Umbridge out of existence lol. Umbridge was always lucky that McGonagall didn't ever fully let out her inner savage.
@29:15 as a major WolfStar person, it always destroys me to see Remus having to hold Harry back from chasing Sirius. Even if you don’t ship it, Remus just lost his last school friend who accepted all of him. 🐺🐕🦺🌈💜
According to the books, Hermione suggested a name. The name was going to be Defence Association but someone else suggested, “what about we name it Dumbledore’s army instead. I mean that’s the ministry’s greatest fear”
“You’re Mrs. Bucket, and I hope you drown in one” was hilarious. Also thought that was a Call the Midwife reference for a minute but that was Violet Buckle. They do dress pretty similarly though. 😂🩷🌸
Thank you for pointing out the age weirdness in the films. Having Harry's parents look middle aged in the Mirror of Erised could be explained as the mirror aging them up to look like they would have if they were still alive, but having them look 40 in photos when they were in their early 20s is just weird.

Well, "the pink mark" just doesn't sound quite as threatening, does it. So, understandable decision on their part.

And in that moment, she became supremely insufferable, even to the Death Eaters 😂

Like when Peeves was trying to unscrew the chandelier in the books and McGonagall told him “It unscrews the other way” lol
@@coreyklaustermeier5692 Aaah now I want to reread it!
7:45 is when proffeser McGonagall went full savage mode 😂
Imelda Stauton followed a proud tradition of making people _hate_ their character. Louise Fletcher had that same kind of talent. It’s admirable.
Definitely!
Nurse Ratched was amazing
Louise Fletcher was FANTASTIC on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. I hated her so much and it was wonderful
don't forget Pam Ferris
Props for the Hyacinth Bucket reference! This is why I love you
Gotta love how they go to a magical school and Hernione apparently never considers that people might be able to see things she can’t.
Or the fact that as a muggleborn, she's never heard of schizophrenia and never at any point wanted to many suggest to Harry to get a therapist to help him with his "delusions" and instead just said "Naw mate, there's nothing here, get your eyes and ears checked."
This was an absolute riot, I love your McGonagall impression!
And thank you for the disclaimer about Umbridge's actress; it's a sign of her prowess that we dislike the character as much as we do!
The Umbridge roasting gives me life. Also the whole James speech? PREACH.
Ikr! This entire video feels like a whole validation of everything I've believed of James the whole time! And her roasts of umbitch are the absolute best
Yeah I never thought James was a bad guy he bullied Snape mostly cause he kept calling people mudbloods. Even Ron was about to curse Draco when he called Hermione a mud blood but no one hates on that.
People always bring up how james was a bully and act like snape was just a victim when he was going around with Lucius and his friend calling people mudblood and cursing them while snape found it funny and lily actually called him out for it and snape being snape didn't like it
“Albus Percival Wulfric… ✨Brian✨… Dumbledore”🤣🤣🤣
"There's always pudding. Is there not always pudding? Clearly there's pudding, 'cause there's always pudding!" Now that is something I can live by 😂
There's pudding because there's Luna
@nicolasripoll7974 there's Luna bc there's pudding
These videos are super funny. Yesterday, I was cackling at the Goblet of Fire one so hard I couldn't breathe.
Also, your laugh is HILARIOUS!! I love it!!!
"Give this cow a cough drop!" I love this woman.
You know when you look at how long it’s been since a video has been released, and then you remember watching it BEFORE that time? Yeah I just had that feeling
"I've never run at any of the kids exept Fred and George" accurate lmao I perfectly imagine minerva running at them
13:55 YASSS TEMUGONNIGALLLLLL u ate that uppp
"I love a profiterole, I'm a sucker for some choux pastery. Some tasty choux pastery. Oh, I'm a poet and didn't know it." That entire rant was amazing 👏 Chef's kiss
“kUUkuUkUuKuKuKujKkkUuUuUuUuuUuu” when Sirius and Harry hugged 😂😂
3:35 that Hermione/Emma impression was spot-on! Genuinely thought you'd just replayed that section until the next bits came
THE WAY MY JAW DROPPED WHEN YOU DID THE HERMIONE IMPRESSION SGSHDVD IT SOUNDED EXACTLY LIKE HER
CHANEL! i was just watching your GOF one lol.. McGonagall really needs a raise, she carried the whole of hogwarts on her back and still had to deal with the tumultuous toad!
It’s so true 😭
@@Chanwills0 literally
you getting jumpscared by umbridge kills me lmfao
Husband: what’s that long beeping noise?
Me: She’s talking about Umbridge.
Husband: Makes perfect sense 😂
Imelda Staunton just kills this role. 😊
Umbridge: excuse me
Prs Dumbledore: yes u are excused 💅🏻💅🏻
Umbridge : 👁👄👁
This book always pissed me off that Harry just didn't go up stairs and get the mirror communicator he had to talk to Serious directly.
They tend to forget alot of things like the marauder's map and the invisibility cloak in the books.
Which is why Harry is in Gryffindor and not Ravenclaw😂😭
"That however will not negate me calling umbridge every name under the sun" - temugonagall best line ever
“That’s the only time that lady’s been smoking” I can’t rn girl✋😭
Alternative title: McGonagall roasting Umbridge for 36 minutes straight
THE HERMIONE VOICE WAS SO ACCURATE
Also, when I saw this video I thought “now that what I’m talking about chanel while I’m in vacationnnn let’s gooooo”
This is the movie where Fred and George had a massive glow up 😍😍😍
this also has to be one of, if not my favourite movie in the Harry Potter movies. But overall my third favourite movie ever, my first favourite being, “The Black Phone”. The book was written by Joe hill and the movie was directed by Scott Derrickson and featuring Mason Thames, Madeleine McGraw, Ethan Hawk, Jeremy Davies, E. Roger Mitchell, Troy Rudeseal, James Ransone, Miguel Mora and many more.
I am so excited to watch this witch watch. Temu Gonagall is so amazing ❤
You’re too kind Mr Clean 🤗
@@Chanwills0 your response made me laugh
✨free therapy✨ delivery for Miss MgGonagal
From having to deal with Umbridge all day everyday
Therapist mother maid..
Another iconic scene missed was with Peeves and McGonagall where he's unscrewing a crystal chandelier when *Professor. Minerva. McGonagall.* catches him and tells him to unscrew it the other way (the right way)!!!!
oh my God I cannot talk right now this is like the hilarious thing ever I love your videos too funny😂😂
This is the moment we have all been waiting for. Gonna give Umbridge a Bibity Bobity Backhand!
YASSS
Yassss
Yasss
@@Annabeth_Chase14 ummmm I love you user name so DAM much (sorry not sorry)
@@Annabeth_Chase14YOUR PROFILE IS DAM AWESOME
I loved temugonnogal getting annoyed at luna for thinking there won't be pudding
"And by golly did he --- 😰." It definitely was the swivel
"it's not you, that's voldemoo" is now my favourite quote
"I just caught sight of the abomination." That is the best line in the Witch Watches episodes by far.
You're Hermione voice was ON POINT! (And ofc your McGonagall)
Your descriptions of umbridge are almost identical to what my grandad said about her when we read the books when i was a kid! Haha proper cheered me up!
All I can say is THANK YOU!! I needed this!
I got an A+ on a paper in school detailing why Umbridge should have been locked up for life with no parole.😂
Imagine your teacher was a harry potter fan lol
24:09 lets have a round of applause for Harry 👏👏👏👏
Every time I watch OotP I wish that McGonagall was just a little less refined and would've backhanded Umbridge out of existence lol. Umbridge was always lucky that McGonagall didn't ever fully let out her inner savage.
@29:15 as a major WolfStar person, it always destroys me to see Remus having to hold Harry back from chasing Sirius. Even if you don’t ship it, Remus just lost his last school friend who accepted all of him. 🐺🐕🦺🌈💜
6:47 she only stepped down because she wanted to be next to her students
“bibbidi bobbidi backhand”
I’m using this when I have my Harry Potter costume for Halloween
Beeping censor getting longer and longer is one of my favourite comedic resorts, but combined to McGonagall ? That could've killed me ma'am
"Not the possession yoga" I'M DEAD 💀
I have no doubt in my mind that Hermione tried to talk them out of the name "Dumbledore's Army"
Maybe that would have been a good idea. How about “Order of the Phoenix 2: Electric Boogaloo” instead?
And yes dear, the ears look darling!
Not according to the books lol
According to the books, Hermione suggested a name. The name was going to be Defence Association but someone else suggested, “what about we name it Dumbledore’s army instead. I mean that’s the ministry’s greatest fear”
@@Finley_the_greek_geek Yup. Hermione and Ginny
I love you as Mcgonagall. It just brings me so much joy.
“You’re Mrs. Bucket, and I hope you drown in one” was hilarious.
Also thought that was a Call the Midwife reference for a minute but that was Violet Buckle. They do dress pretty similarly though. 😂🩷🌸
This video should be called McGonagle insulting Umbridge for 36 minutes and 26 seconds
Thank you for pointing out the age weirdness in the films. Having Harry's parents look middle aged in the Mirror of Erised could be explained as the mirror aging them up to look like they would have if they were still alive, but having them look 40 in photos when they were in their early 20s is just weird.
You just gotta love how phenomenal Imelda Staunton is as umbridge she made umbridge more hated than voldymo ever was
Your beef with umbridge never gets old 😭
“SHORT F%%%”Mcgonacall being the most honest person ever
7:42
"-NUMBER ONE!"
killed me lmaooooo. Came out the gate ready with that list damn!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VID specifically for the umbridge roasts
