Did you catch in the Quidditch scene when Wood first shows Harry the snitch, he (Harry) is able to follow it with his eyes while Wood looks in the wrong direction almost immediately which hints to Harry being a great seeker
I was confused about that scene. I thought it was a mistake first but then thought it can't be, coz it's not even a complicated shot, it's just two of them and the golden snitch. Thank yoh for clarifying it.❤️
Mad props to Chris Colombus for paying attention to detail for this film. In my opinion, I believe he had the most passion for this series than the rest of the directors
@@zbanul10 he probably had the most pressure. I think every decision he makes has to go through double thinking like if it will ruin or not ruin the franchise. fortunately he perfected the introduction.
14:53 I re-read the Philosopher’s Stone, and when I read when Harry got his wand and used it, it said red and gold sparks came out of it, foreshadowing him being in Gryffindor
Fun fact: not only was Chris Columbus' daughter in the movie, so was Tom Felton's grandfather, Nigel Anstey. He was the professor at the end of the head table you identified as Professor Kettleburn. He was also in the Quidditch scene in the stands next to Lee Jordan. He also appeared in the "Troll in the dungeon!" scene.
Fun fact: in addition to voicing the Voldemort face on his head, Quirrell actor Ian Hart was also the one who played Voldemort in his physical form for the Godric’s Hollow flashback.
Another fun fact: The Voldemort in the Godric's Hollow flashback was referred to in the credits as *"He who shall not be named"* so everytime he wants to get a role and give them his résumé. They will see "Quirrell- Harry potter and the philosophers stone" and then "He who shall not be named"
8:04 that is the animatronic Hagrid head that was used throughout the series. Due to Robbie Coltrane not being Hagrid’s size (obviously) the filmmakers brought in a huge rugby player to wear the head and fill in for the shots that show how big Hagrid is. The head is currently at the Harry Potter Studio Tour in London. This is where I learned this information.
@@indedgames4359 Invisible, not invincible. Invincibility is when you cannot be hurt or killed. Invisibility is when you cannot be seen. And Dumbledore could make himself invisible without the cloak, just using his wand. There's a disillusion charm that turns you invisible.
My theory on Dumbledore apparating silently is that he was so powerful that he could apparate without making the noise, kinda like how he can conjure such a powerful Disillusionment Charm that it makes him invisible.
I’ve always loved that the scene of Wood showing the snitch to Harry & Wood releases it “Harry can follow it when looking at it but Wood can’t”… Nice detail as well. 😉👍🏼
25:55 another thing I would like to add according to snape, mixing these ingredients would brew you a very strong sleeping potion, also known as the draught of living death.. this represents snape's life after lily's death
Forgot when Harry is asking Percy who Snape is, that the back of Quirrell head is facing Harry. Harry thinks it’s Snape that made his scar sting but it’s actually Voldemort under the turban.
On the topic of Mrs. Weasley’s gifts at 32:28, it reminded me of something really heartwarming from Harry’s 17th birthday. She gave Harry her brother Fabian’s watch, something clearly special and sentimental, whereas she gave Ron a new one all his own for his 17th birthday. I’m not the first to say this nor will I be the last, but it really shows how good of a mother Molly is because she knew what each of them needed and would mean more to them; Ron, the boy who always got hand-me-downs, gets something that was entirely his own, and Harry, the boy orphan with no family keepsakes, gets something of a family heirloom. Molly may not have been a perfect person or mother, and she made mistakes at times, but dammit if she didn’t know and love all 8 of her children.
One of my favorite smaller details in this movie was when harry got sorted and just slightly in the background, Fred and George are chanting "We got Potter! We got Potter!" just like the books. I always thought this movie introduced the dynamic duo extremely well.
My two favorite movies of the series are the first two. It might be because they introduced us to much of the wizarding world, but also buildings/scenery/special effects looked so much more real than the later films. I know it's not until Chamber of Secrets, but Dobby looked real/believable to me whereas in the later films he looked blurry and subdued. Thanks so much. Lots of things I hadn't noticed especially in Diagon Alley.
The first two movies are my favorites, too. They looked the closest to the book's descriptions, and I loved the warmer colors and darker hallways. The later movies made Hogwarts too bright for my taste, They lost a lot of the mystery of Hogwarts, though at least Prisoner of Azkaban had great cinematography.
One of my favorite parts is when Hagrid first brings Harry into Diagon Alley. I think it's the fifth book/movie that something similar happens as well. (Touch a certain brick and the alley/house opens up)
As a lover of the Harry Potter series and as a media student I absolutely loved watching this and seeing this breakdown as I hadn't really revisited the series to try the new skills I've learned. Also, great to see you like New Rockstars too.
While the books are generally considered to be overall superior, I have to admit the movies did a pretty good job considering what they had to do. Creating all the magical things to fill a whole world can't have been easy. I can appreciate it for sure, however I would have rather had some of the more important details included over the lesser ones. Winky, Ludo Bagman, Quidditch World Cup, Blast ended Skrewts, nifflers, Tri-Wizard maze event obstacles etc. I feel with the popularity of the series they could have made longer movies like LotRs and included these things.
The "Scary Hagrid" is a man named Martin Bayfield. He is a HUGE man (rugby player) who was Hagrid's double in scenes where Hagrid needed to look really tall. Even Bayfield had to wear a suit that made him wider and he walked on stilts. The reason Hagrid looks so scary is because it's a Hagrid-Mask that Bayfield had to wear in wide angle shots to look more like Robby Coltrane.
What’s interesting is that, and I literally learned just now by Tom Felton’s new books Beyond the Wand, that man who plays Professor Kettleburn is Tom Felton’s Grandfather, which I learned from Tom’s new book. I loved the video!
I was born in 2000 so I was really young when the movies were releasing and just way too young for the book but I had a teenage sister so I was no stranger to the movies and I actually enjoyed them.

Just a little note about Queen consort Anne boleyn is that she wasn't actually a witch but was accused of being one because she had a sixth finger on each hand. She was executed because her husband King Henry thought she was having an affair and so he accused her of it and executed her. So it's a cool little detail because she was thought to be a witch but never actually was
Yeah, I agree with you that it’s a cool detail. However, she actually didn’t have a sixth finger on each hand. It was a common misconception, and the king would never have married someone with that abnormality because (like you said) it was a sign of witchcraft back then.
Also, I believe the affair was made up as well. The king accused her of it because he wanted to marry Jane Seymour and Anne had failed to give him a son. No divorce allowed, so this is how he got rid of her-accusing her of bewitching him, followed by incest and infidelity (which they tortured men to admit to) and trying to harm the King. Since she spent a lot of her time pregnant and miscarrying, not to mention knowing what would happen if she did commit adultery, historians believe it was all lies and she was innocent, which she claimed until the end. Henry finally got his son, but he died young and it is Anne’s daughter, Elizabeth I who ended up ruling for 40 years and is known as the greatest Tudor monarch, and is one of the most famous Queens in history.
That first one is a stretch. Rowling stated specifically that she chose Privet as the name in reference to the Privet hedge, a type of hedge commonly found in the gardens of suburban homes. I had a privet hedge in my childhood home.
The stand-in for Hagrid in the scene in the house on the rock (and every time he was a giant) was a guy on stilts, but they actually made a mask of Robbie Coltrane’s face! I love looking for the mask in every wide shot and try to see that weird face!
There are tons of weird faced Hagrid body double shots through the whole series. They stand out like a sore thumb once you notice it and I find it distracting. Excluding that, I do enjoy scanning scenes to find new things each time though.
This is awesome! I can't wait for the rest of the series! For the full body Hagrid shots, they used a 6'10" body double. He had to wear a giant animatronic head. The same thing happened with Madame Maxime's body double. I've seen the robot heads at the studio tour. They are the creepiest things ever. The way their eyes and lips move freaked me out but still glad to have heard those facts.
Fact check: DVDs didn't start coming out until the mid90s, and weren't common until the very early 2000s - so it's probably a VCR (or just another rectangular boxed gift.... Dudley got plenty!)
About the "who the hell is that" bit when you see a creepy looking Hagrid in the back of some shots: its a large animatronic head they used in shots where they have Hagrid in the background. Obviously Robbie Coltrane isnt as giant as Hagrid, which is fine when they do his close up shots, but when Hagrid is facing camera in that type of shot, they couldnt have Robbie Coltrane as we'd know he was too short, so they had to use this weird looking animatronic head that sat on top of the head of the person playing him in that shot to give the impression hes that tall. There are actually a bunch more shots where we see it and once you notice it it's hilariously distracting haha
Between MovieFlame and SuperCarlinBrothers we have had so many Harry Potter full series breakdowns and theories recently which I have immensely enjoyed
One of the biggest reasons I love Morgan’s videos is because of how he’s so adamant about giving information from the source material. I’ve read all the books countless times and I don’t particularly like watching past the 3rd movie because it just feels too different and too modern. I know you obviously can’t fit everything from books into movies but there’s still so many differences that it seriously does feel like another universe. Harry Potter is one of those stories where you really can’t call yourself a true fan if you haven’t read the books because there’s just so much information not put into the movies and so many changes. And it’s so frustrating seeing people who have never read the books, rudely tell people they’re wrong about something when they’ve accurately talked about something from the source material. A few years ago my friend was getting mad at me when we were hanging out with friends and I was talking about it taking place in the 90s and she was telling me I’m wrong. Because of the movies, she thought the series took place in the 2000s and she was actually getting mad at me about it lol I told her to google it and then she was quiet. I would tell her she needs to read the books but she refused yet still acted like she knew everything about it 🤷🏻♀️
And fun like the duluminator was a secret objekt from wizard and muggels only maybe there should know the duluminator is the wizard there have the objekt not other But when ronweaslt have its ghanged he it so gid friends know
Also when the train in leaving at the end of the year, you see Hermione with the buck teeth that were mentioned in the book, since it was the first day. But it didn't work out too well and they scrapped that for the film and have her have normal teeth.
I've always wondered why the "fat rat yellow" spell was the only one in the entire series that used a full incantation rather than just the name of the spell to cast it. I assumed it was just the twins messing with Ron and that was why it didn't work.
Seamus uses a full incantation spell in the Great Hall in the film version of Philosopher's Stone ("Eye of rabbit, harp string hum, turn this water into rum.") Considering he was seemingly reading it from a book at the time, it's possible that at least in the film universe, there might be spells like that. Now, granted, the water blew up in his face, but Ron did mention that he managed to make a weak tea the day before, and Seamus in the films can seemingly blow anything up, whether using a proper spell or otherwise (see him blowing up Harry and his feather in Charms while practicing Wingardium Leviosa). The reason Ron's spell failed could possibly have more to do with the fact that Pettigrew wasn't a rat.
@@dragorionsarge2024 We don’t ever see spells in the books that have that kind of incantation, though, that I can recall. They’re usually a short Latin based spell. The movies are the only time I can recall where we see a spell that uses a similar structure to the one the twins gave Ron.
@@christphern Actually when o nthe train and Hermoinie is coming into the car to ask the boys about Trevor, Ron states We already told him we havent seen it. She then asks Oh are you doing magic, Lets see it then. After she sits down ron looked taken aback. He cleared his throat then said the spell mentioned in the book. We’ve already told him we haven’t seen it,” said Ron, but the girl wasn’t listening, she was looking at the wand in his hand. “Oh, are you doing magic? Let’s see it, then.” She sat down. Ron looked taken aback. “Er - all right.” He cleared his throat. “Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, Turn this stupid, fat rat yellow.” He waved his wand, but nothing happened. Scabbers stayed gray and fast asleep. “Are you sure that’s a real spell?” said the girl. “Well, it’s not very good, is it? I’ve tried a few simple spells just for practice and it’s all worked for me. Nobody in my family’s magic at all, it was ever such a surprise when I got my letter, but I was ever so pleased, of course, I mean, it’s the very best school of witchcraft there is, I’ve heard - I’ve learned all our course books by heart, of course, I just hope it will be enough - I’m Hermione Granger, by the way, who are you?” Excerpt for your reading
Very nice video, but I have to mention that there is a German series by Coldmirror called "5 Minuten Harry Potter" where she splits the movie into five minute pieces and goes through it frame by frame, each video is roughly an hour long. So it's pretty detailed. Well veeeery detailed. So detailed in fact she shows background toys, looks through old post cards to verify if a specific path was already tarred at a specific point in history, translates Latin and comments on funny things like the "Soup soup soup" in the Leaky Cauldron. It is wild!
I guess the deleted scenes don’t count here. There’s a deleted scene right before Harry gets the mail, in which they take pictures of Dudley for Smeltings, Petunia tells Harry what his robes would be, and Harry commenting that it was Dudley’s previous robes, and that it would fit on him like an elephant.
OMG! I always thoughts that Ron couldn't change Scabbers' colour because Fred and George gave him a fake spell to make fun of him...and now you blew my mind telling us that it didn't work because that wasn't a rat in the first place...OMG, it makes perfect sense!🎉
I know I am late to the party but your breakdown of the shops is freaking amazing. Best part of the video. You must have done a lot of research. I hope you get your props for that.
After experiencing a loss, I thought it would distract me if watch your Easter egg videos and then view the movies with an eye for details I missed. It’s helping!
Amazing video Morgan! Something that I find super cool is the background music. I think this one is done perfectly because the calming violin like music gets a little repetitive. The editing is also amazing, you have really outdone yourself and I can’t wait until the next episode ❤👍👍
Great job, and I love the NR shoutout to Erik Voss. I kept thinking back to the original DVD release with navigating the BTS and features, loved it so much as a kid. Can't wait for the next one, and hopefully you bring up the fact that Susan Bones was sorted into Hufflepuff, but nepotism has her in all of the Gryffindor and Slytherin classes which confused me so much when I was younger and didn't know she was Chris Columbus' daughter.
In the book the Wesley twins chant “we got potter” after harry was sorted inside Gryffindor, and if you listen closely you can hear them say “we got potter” I only found this out on my 5th rewatch of the movie
As far as I knew, Privet Drive is just a nod to the "Privet Hedge" which in Britain, is largely associated with suburban housing estates like the one the Dursleys live in.
And if were going this deep, then when wood let's go the golden snitch, then he looks arround evrywhere looking for it, but Harry's eyes snapt on it instantly. There just show how good seeker Harry is.
You have to watch coldmirrors analysis on the first film. Sadly it's in German but maybe you could understand it with subtitles. It's called "5 Minuten Harry Podcast" from coldmirror. I guarantee that you won't regret it.
20:12 Look at how a to be gryffindor kindly speaks to a to be slytherin with latter smiling and listening interestedly. The sorting hat is the main cause of all rivalry in HW for real 💥
With the Dark Arts class decor and the Iguana in the first film, it could also be because Quirrell had been travelling around the Black Forrest prior to Harry attending the school (I think it is mentioned that he had just got back, It's also how he ended up with a "Mouldy Volde" head on the back of his...) and it makes him seem more exotic.
Maybe Dumbledore could have "appeared suddenly & silently" because he was being invisible, not appariting because we KNOW he CAN be invisible WITHOUT an invisibility cloak . . . Just a thought . . . 🤔 And Puddlemere United is Dumbledore's favorite team; it says in the book Quidditch Through The Ages (I think 😉)!! Also, the hair potion thing is funny (& ironic) (@ least to me), considering BOTH Harry & James had messy hair!! 😅 That part about the staircases to the dorms WAS literally SAID in this movie by Percy earlier, too!! 😂 Also, in the books Ravenclaw's colors are BLUE & BROZE, not blue & sliver!! And I also think that Dumbledore let the wolf pups live there as way to dissuade students from entering the forest in the 1st place (not that it really works 😅). 😉 And that last scene is when Chris Columbus realized that Daniel Radcliffe would be a "great actor" one day. 😊
This guy really have a thing for the Wizading world 😅..... I mean he explained each and every thing about Diagon Alley.... Awesome work by the way❤❤ ~~Fan from India🇮🇳
21:44 This would have been a colour grading issue. The person colour grading the shot just missed it! This is also why Legolas has green arrows in one shot of the LOTR where it would usually be yellow.
It's hard for me to separate them after rereading the books years later. Really makes it hard to appreciate the movies. Especially Hermione and Ron's characters
@@Chris-ks4sw there is nothing wrong with the way that Ron and Hermione's characters are portrayed in the movies. The power of adaptation brings in beautiful differences between both mediums and we shouldn't hate on one over the other but appreciate them both for what they are.
26:35 if you look closely in scene where the owl post is delivered and it's filmed from up high you can see that many other kids don't wear they're cloak and Neville has his laying beside him on fhe bench. So it's still a mystery what Neville forgot.
I always assumed it was Privet Drive since a privet is a common shrub used as a hedge in neat, tidy, private neighborhoods. I can appreciate this point of view, though.
This is such a high quality and interesting video. I love HP, but I'm outclassed by you in every way lol... Great job on editing specifically; I know how time-consuming it is and you did a top-tier job.
Fun fact: Emma Watson wore Hermione's buck teeth in the last scene of the film(the 1st thing that was shot), when she's leaning out of the train. But they ended up not using them after the scene was shot. They're subtle, but they're definitely there.
The only one I never noticed, and I can't believe I didn't since it was one of my favorite scenes from the film, is Hagrid's stunt double during his introduction and that alone made this video worth it because the guy's facial expression is hilarious Lol I guess in a way that could be a compliment to the stunt double since he did a good job of not making it obvious that he was a double, Ron's double was more noticeable due to the lighting in that particular scene. I'm glad I'm finally getting around to watching this series you started, it's been on my list for a while and so far I'm loving it. Keep up the great work, man!
To be fair, lightning strikes every second, so the bloodred potion part of becoming an Animagus isn't that hard if you have the potion. But damn, leaving a leaf in your mouth sounds like pain.
At 12:07, I'd like to think that there were cobwebs in the chandeliers because goblins cannot reach them to clean, so they don't bother (because they're so small! HAHAHA). And, they are not allowed to have wands so no magical cleaning spell ahahah. Just a fun thought.
Yes, I consider the book and movie canon seperate universes. I think there exist four parallel universes: The book universe, the movie universe, the game universe (which also divides itself into a seperate Lego universe) and the stageplay universe.
My personal headcanon on the stage play is that Curse Child is a play WITHIN the wizarding world. That a bunch of wizard actors played out the Delphi Lestrange incident and sort of made up a whole bunch of stuff that didn't get directly covered in the Daily Profit.
See I always thought that, to please everyone, the true canon should be a mix between book and movie based off of which did what thing better (which I know the books did more things better than the movies because they came first and can go into more detail but there are still lots of things that the movie did do better) but the alternate HP universe theory does make more sense.
I thought the second task we see them go through, with the flying keys, was done by Madam Hootch. I mean, flying on brooms, and catching winged keys. Having the sharp eye to spot the right key out of a whole group of keys
@@jorgnocke991why didn’t the basilisk venom destroy the horcrux inside harry? I recommend watching the video that SuperCarlinBros did about that, which explained it very well. But basically it’s because Fawkes healed him and the venom did not get to go around his whole body I think.
Sorry the comments keep getting turned off, idk why RUclips does this🙄

Mad props to Chris Colombus for paying attention to detail for this film. In my opinion, I believe he had the most passion for this series than the rest of the directors

I mean to be fair chris Columbus got the directors job for this mainly off his love for the source material
Quirrell showing the students an iguana is already 10x more than what Umbridge did as a teacher.
Yup. Not that the bar is even the slightest bit high, mind you
I honestly don’t think quirrell was a bad teacher he just had Voldemort on the back of his head. I think he gave the kids a decent education

Ron's note "This is light?" made Hermione make a glaring stare at Ron :D
Didn't they say somewhere that the more powerful or skilled the wizard, the quieter their apparition? It would make sense for Dumbledore to be silent.
And it would explain why mundungus made everyone jump out of their skin by making it sound like a car backfiring. He's clearly not a powerful wizard
Not realy. I think he didnt Apparate directly ther and walked aber.He can turn invincible afterall

So it's a cool little detail because she was thought to be a witch but never actually was
Yeah, I agree with you that it’s a cool detail. However, she actually didn’t have a sixth finger on each hand. It was a common misconception, and the king would never have married someone with that abnormality because (like you said) it was a sign of witchcraft back then.
Also, I believe the affair was made up as well. The king accused her of it because he wanted to marry Jane Seymour and Anne had failed to give him a son. No divorce allowed, so this is how he got rid of her-accusing her of bewitching him, followed by incest and infidelity (which they tortured men to admit to) and trying to harm the King. Since she spent a lot of her time pregnant and miscarrying, not to mention knowing what would happen if she did commit adultery, historians believe it was all lies and she was innocent, which she claimed until the end. Henry finally got his son, but he died young and it is Anne’s daughter, Elizabeth I who ended up ruling for 40 years and is known as the greatest Tudor monarch, and is one of the most famous Queens in history.
Well, maybe she was a witch in HP universe😂
@@scarlett.23 I think that’s the implication of her portrait on the wall! 😂
Uh there îs a pirate goblin on a wizard card on both versions of POA video game
I like how he's probably watched all the films and read all the books millions of times, but he never gets bored of the series. I respect that
That first one is a stretch. Rowling stated specifically that she chose Privet as the name in reference to the Privet hedge, a type of hedge commonly found in the gardens of suburban homes. I had a privet hedge in my childhood home.
Yes, and other streets in that area were also named after plants, like Magnolia Drive, etc.
The stand-in for Hagrid in the scene in the house on the rock (and every time he was a giant) was a guy on stilts, but they actually made a mask of Robbie Coltrane’s face! I love looking for the mask in every wide shot and try to see that weird face!
wasn't he an old rugby player and not a guy on stilts? Maybe both?
@@haggasaurusrexweasley6259 I think both!
There are tons of weird faced Hagrid body double shots through the whole series. They stand out like a sore thumb once you notice it and I find it distracting. Excluding that, I do enjoy scanning scenes to find new things each time though.
This is awesome! I can't wait for the rest of the series! For the full body Hagrid shots, they used a 6'10" body double. He had to wear a giant animatronic head. The same thing happened with Madame Maxime's body double. I've seen the robot heads at the studio tour. They are the creepiest things ever. The way their eyes and lips move freaked me out but still glad to have heard those facts.
Your Harry Potter videos are so interesting. I love anything that keeps the HP world alive.
Fact check: DVDs didn't start coming out until the mid90s, and weren't common until the very early 2000s - so it's probably a VCR (or just another rectangular boxed gift.... Dudley got plenty!)
8:04 bro got me laughing out loud 😂 “Hagrid’s” facial expression is hilarious too
PLEASE make this a series, this is amazing!
He confirmed that it is a series long before this video came out.
@@gibbsterVI didn’t see that post
About the "who the hell is that" bit when you see a creepy looking Hagrid in the back of some shots: its a large animatronic head they used in shots where they have Hagrid in the background. Obviously Robbie Coltrane isnt as giant as Hagrid, which is fine when they do his close up shots, but when Hagrid is facing camera in that type of shot, they couldnt have Robbie Coltrane as we'd know he was too short, so they had to use this weird looking animatronic head that sat on top of the head of the person playing him in that shot to give the impression hes that tall. There are actually a bunch more shots where we see it and once you notice it it's hilariously distracting haha
As both a book reader and a movie watcher. I LOVE THIS
Between MovieFlame and SuperCarlinBrothers we have had so many Harry Potter full series breakdowns and theories recently which I have immensely enjoyed
One of the biggest reasons I love Morgan’s videos is because of how he’s so adamant about giving information from the source material. I’ve read all the books countless times and I don’t particularly like watching past the 3rd movie because it just feels too different and too modern. I know you obviously can’t fit everything from books into movies but there’s still so many differences that it seriously does feel like another universe.
Harry Potter is one of those stories where you really can’t call yourself a true fan if you haven’t read the books because there’s just so much information not put into the movies and so many changes. And it’s so frustrating seeing people who have never read the books, rudely tell people they’re wrong about something when they’ve accurately talked about something from the source material. A few years ago my friend was getting mad at me when we were hanging out with friends and I was talking about it taking place in the 90s and she was telling me I’m wrong. Because of the movies, she thought the series took place in the 2000s and she was actually getting mad at me about it lol I told her to google it and then she was quiet. I would tell her she needs to read the books but she refused yet still acted like she knew everything about it 🤷🏻♀️
"privet" drive isn't wordplay with "private". It's called "privet" because a privet bush is a common dividing hedge in british suburbs.
And fun like the duluminator was a secret objekt from wizard and muggels only maybe there should know the duluminator is the wizard there have the objekt not other But when ronweaslt have its ghanged he it so gid friends know
ah yes when people saw the sign they thought of common dividings in the british suburbs
Also when the train in leaving at the end of the year, you see Hermione with the buck teeth that were mentioned in the book, since it was the first day. But it didn't work out too well and they scrapped that for the film and have her have normal teeth.
I've always wondered why the "fat rat yellow" spell was the only one in the entire series that used a full incantation rather than just the name of the spell to cast it. I assumed it was just the twins messing with Ron and that was why it didn't work.
Yes. I think I It was totally made up by the twins. That’s why it uses an incantation when no real spells do.
Seamus uses a full incantation spell in the Great Hall in the film version of Philosopher's Stone ("Eye of rabbit, harp string hum, turn this water into rum.") Considering he was seemingly reading it from a book at the time, it's possible that at least in the film universe, there might be spells like that. Now, granted, the water blew up in his face, but Ron did mention that he managed to make a weak tea the day before, and Seamus in the films can seemingly blow anything up, whether using a proper spell or otherwise (see him blowing up Harry and his feather in Charms while practicing Wingardium Leviosa). The reason Ron's spell failed could possibly have more to do with the fact that Pettigrew wasn't a rat.
@@christphern The Rat Spell was also i nthe book thou. So maybe there are some spells are full incantations.
@@dragorionsarge2024 We don’t ever see spells in the books that have that kind of incantation, though, that I can recall. They’re usually a short Latin based spell. The movies are the only time I can recall where we see a spell that uses a similar structure to the one the twins gave Ron.
@@christphern Actually when o nthe train and Hermoinie is coming into the car to ask the boys about Trevor, Ron states We already told him we havent seen it. She then asks Oh are you doing magic, Lets see it then. After she sits down ron looked taken aback. He cleared his throat then said the spell mentioned in the book.
We’ve already told him we haven’t seen it,” said Ron, but the girl wasn’t listening, she was
looking at the wand in his hand.
“Oh, are you doing magic? Let’s see it, then.”
She sat down. Ron looked taken aback.
“Er - all right.”
He cleared his throat.
“Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, Turn this stupid, fat rat yellow.”
He waved his wand, but nothing happened. Scabbers stayed gray and fast asleep.
“Are you sure that’s a real spell?” said the girl. “Well, it’s not very good, is it? I’ve tried a few
simple spells just for practice and it’s all worked for me. Nobody in my family’s magic at all, it
was ever such a surprise when I got my letter, but I was ever so pleased, of course, I mean, it’s
the very best school of witchcraft there is, I’ve heard - I’ve learned all our course books by
heart, of course, I just hope it will be enough - I’m Hermione Granger, by the way, who are
you?”
Excerpt for your reading
Very nice video, but I have to mention that there is a German series by Coldmirror called "5 Minuten Harry Potter" where she splits the movie into five minute pieces and goes through it frame by frame, each video is roughly an hour long. So it's pretty detailed. Well veeeery detailed. So detailed in fact she shows background toys, looks through old post cards to verify if a specific path was already tarred at a specific point in history, translates Latin and comments on funny things like the "Soup soup soup" in the Leaky Cauldron.
It is wild!
DOKU FACTORY (also German) dose the same with Lord of the Rings. It's really cool.
i thought the gold coins are gallions?
The first film did such a splendid job portraying stuffs as close to the novel as possible. Huge props to Chris Columbus.
I guess the deleted scenes don’t count here.
There’s a deleted scene right before Harry gets the mail, in which they take pictures of Dudley for Smeltings, Petunia tells Harry what his robes would be, and Harry commenting that it was Dudley’s previous robes, and that it would fit on him like an elephant.
Super excited for the second video! All the things I’ve missed and learned! Thanks for taking the time to make these!
legit been waiting for you or the vossman or scb to breaks these down i was born halloween night so i always marathon them for my bday
Your videos are so thorough and entertaining...thank you for being the driving force behind me making my own Harry Potter Channel!!🤓
Hi
OMG! I always thoughts that Ron couldn't change Scabbers' colour because Fred and George gave him a fake spell to make fun of him...and now you blew my mind telling us that it didn't work because that wasn't a rat in the first place...OMG, it makes perfect sense!🎉
It’s probably a combo of both things! As far as I know, the spells in the Harry Potter universe are all derived/inspired by Latin, and are very brief.
I know I am late to the party but your breakdown of the shops is freaking amazing. Best part of the video. You must have done a lot of research. I hope you get your props for that.
It's amazing how much love was put into both this movie and your video Morgan! Thank you :]
After experiencing a loss, I thought it would distract me if watch your Easter egg videos and then view the movies with an eye for details I missed. It’s helping!
Amazing video Morgan! Something that I find super cool is the background music. I think this one is done perfectly because the calming violin like music gets a little repetitive. The editing is also amazing, you have really outdone yourself and I can’t wait until the next episode ❤👍👍
This is totally silly, but I'm sooo impressed that you pronounced Alnwick Castle correctly!
a cool detail you missed: at 21:05, the guy who played mr kettle burn is tom felton’s actual grandpa
Great job, and I love the NR shoutout to Erik Voss. I kept thinking back to the original DVD release with navigating the BTS and features, loved it so much as a kid. Can't wait for the next one, and hopefully you bring up the fact that Susan Bones was sorted into Hufflepuff, but nepotism has her in all of the Gryffindor and Slytherin classes which confused me so much when I was younger and didn't know she was Chris Columbus' daughter.
In the book the Wesley twins chant “we got potter” after harry was sorted inside Gryffindor, and if you listen closely you can hear them say “we got potter” I only found this out on my 5th rewatch of the movie
As far as I knew, Privet Drive is just a nod to the "Privet Hedge" which in Britain, is largely associated with suburban housing estates like the one the Dursleys live in.
this was so fun to watch...took my mind off all the stress of studies and exams going on thank you morgan
@@iilluminaughtii________ Can Instagram work for you? I don't really use telegram
Another Easter Egg: the station used for Hogsmede is Goathland, which is also the town where the majority of the TV show Heartbeat was filmed
Durch 5 Minuten Harry Podcast schocken mich 40 Minuten Analyse nicht mehr 😄
I watched the second video first and thought to myself it was like an Erik Voss breakdown. Enjoying the videos!
Brilliant detail Morgan, it’s great seeing new things in a 20+ year old film
And if were going this deep, then when wood let's go the golden snitch, then he looks arround evrywhere looking for it, but Harry's eyes snapt on it instantly. There just show how good seeker Harry is.
You have to watch coldmirrors analysis on the first film. Sadly it's in German but maybe you could understand it with subtitles. It's called "5 Minuten Harry Podcast" from coldmirror. I guarantee that you won't regret it.
20:12 Look at how a to be gryffindor kindly speaks to a to be slytherin with latter smiling and listening interestedly. The sorting hat is the main cause of all rivalry in HW for real 💥
With the Dark Arts class decor and the Iguana in the first film, it could also be because Quirrell had been travelling around the Black Forrest prior to Harry attending the school (I think it is mentioned that he had just got back, It's also how he ended up with a "Mouldy Volde" head on the back of his...) and it makes him seem more exotic.
Maybe Dumbledore could have "appeared suddenly & silently" because he was being invisible, not appariting because we KNOW he CAN be invisible WITHOUT an invisibility cloak . . . Just a thought . . . 🤔 And Puddlemere United is Dumbledore's favorite team; it says in the book Quidditch Through The Ages (I think 😉)!! Also, the hair potion thing is funny (& ironic) (@ least to me), considering BOTH Harry & James had messy hair!! 😅 That part about the staircases to the dorms WAS literally SAID in this movie by Percy earlier, too!! 😂 Also, in the books Ravenclaw's colors are BLUE & BROZE, not blue & sliver!! And I also think that Dumbledore let the wolf pups live there as way to dissuade students from entering the forest in the 1st place (not that it really works 😅). 😉 And that last scene is when Chris Columbus realized that Daniel Radcliffe would be a "great actor" one day. 😊
Very talented wizards can apparate almost silently.
What was it about the last scene that made Chris think Harry would be a great actor?
@@lamoinette23 I think 💭 it was the line “I’m not going home 🏡, not really.” Chris said it one time in an interview I think 💭. ☺️
@@AHufflepuffAndASwiftie cool ☺
What makes it even better was that Chris found Daniel by accident.
Morgan, I have a suggestion for a video. You can do what happy moment hp characters were thinking when they made their patronus.
This guy really have a thing for the Wizading world 😅..... I mean he explained each and every thing about Diagon Alley.... Awesome work by the way❤❤
~~Fan from India🇮🇳
21:44 This would have been a colour grading issue. The person colour grading the shot just missed it! This is also why Legolas has green arrows in one shot of the LOTR where it would usually be yellow.
I agree about thinking about the books and the movies as 2 different HP universes. I've done that, too, to make it easier to enjoy both.
never thought of that but I will now!
It's hard for me to separate them after rereading the books years later. Really makes it hard to appreciate the movies. Especially Hermione and Ron's characters
@@Chris-ks4sw idk about that one chief
@@ricorofficial what do you mean?
@@Chris-ks4sw there is nothing wrong with the way that Ron and Hermione's characters are portrayed in the movies. The power of adaptation brings in beautiful differences between both mediums and we shouldn't hate on one over the other but appreciate them both for what they are.
26:35 if you look closely in scene where the owl post is delivered and it's filmed from up high you can see that many other kids don't wear they're cloak and Neville has his laying beside him on fhe bench. So it's still a mystery what Neville forgot.
I always assumed it was Privet Drive since a privet is a common shrub used as a hedge in neat, tidy, private neighborhoods. I can appreciate this point of view, though.
that's exactly what I thought. Privet Drive, Privet Close, Privet crescent are all pretty common in Surrey
This is such a high quality and interesting video. I love HP, but I'm outclassed by you in every way lol... Great job on editing specifically; I know how time-consuming it is and you did a top-tier job.
Fun fact: Emma Watson wore Hermione's buck teeth in the last scene of the film(the 1st thing that was shot), when she's leaning out of the train. But they ended up not using them after the scene was shot. They're subtle, but they're definitely there.
Yeah they thought it looked weird, and was too tedious. Which I agree with the tedious part
The only one I never noticed, and I can't believe I didn't since it was one of my favorite scenes from the film, is Hagrid's stunt double during his introduction and that alone made this video worth it because the guy's facial expression is hilarious Lol
I guess in a way that could be a compliment to the stunt double since he did a good job of not making it obvious that he was a double, Ron's double was more noticeable due to the lighting in that particular scene.
I'm glad I'm finally getting around to watching this series you started, it's been on my list for a while and so far I'm loving it.
Keep up the great work, man!
Privet Drive isnt a mock of the word private, a Privet is a type of shrub, going along with the other streets like magnolia, blossom, ect
To be fair, lightning strikes every second, so the bloodred potion part of becoming an Animagus isn't that hard if you have the potion.
But damn, leaving a leaf in your mouth sounds like pain.
A thyme leaf is very small, you could tuck it in beside your gum. I don't recall if they said what kind of leaf, but eating would be difficult.
Oh, I see
Yeah, and if it ever leaves the mouth, even for a second, you have to start all over again. Talk about a pain in the rear
Its nice and refreshing to see so many Easter eggs. I am going to rewatch Harry Potter series again
You are just so amazing! A true Harry Potter detective ❤
I love breakdown videos because I feel I learn so much more about what’s going on and extra tidbits that I wouldn’t have otherwise figured out
So excited for the rest of this series

I thought that the gold coins were Gallions
They are, I'm not sure how he and so many others didn't notice
Okay I cannot wait for the rest of the movies analysis of the props department. Love this.
i can't believe that after all these years and after watching the movies several times, just now i know what was the thing that Neville forgot
I love how this was uploaded as I’m binge watching all the Harry Potter/Fantastic beasts movies and trying to get deep into the HP Cinematic Lore
11:20 I think it is for the latter as the mannequin is male and the Harpies are an all female team.
At 12:07, I'd like to think that there were cobwebs in the chandeliers because goblins cannot reach them to clean, so they don't bother (because they're so small! HAHAHA). And, they are not allowed to have wands so no magical cleaning spell ahahah. Just a fun thought.
I can't even watch the ending scene of this movie without tearing up. All because of the line "It's not Hogwarts without you Hagrid."
A nice detail: at the house of Dudleys we can see a hanggin plant outside, a Petúnia
these movies are so detailed I love it. the hagrid stand double is really obvious I can't believe I never noticed it lmao
Yes, I consider the book and movie canon seperate universes. I think there exist four parallel universes: The book universe, the movie universe, the game universe (which also divides itself into a seperate Lego universe) and the stageplay universe.
My personal headcanon on the stage play is that Curse Child is a play WITHIN the wizarding world. That a bunch of wizard actors played out the Delphi Lestrange incident and sort of made up a whole bunch of stuff that didn't get directly covered in the Daily Profit.
@@robertgronewold3326 Interesting theory, though I stick to the play being canon to the book and stageplay universe.
25:47 i'm crying at this fact bc Snaps first words harry was about his mother and Snaps last was about harrys mother.😥😥😥😥😥😢😟😟😟
See I always thought that, to please everyone, the true canon should be a mix between book and movie based off of which did what thing better (which I know the books did more things better than the movies because they came first and can go into more detail but there are still lots of things that the movie did do better) but the alternate HP universe theory does make more sense.
It's not an iguana that Quirrel is holding, we can hear it scream like a dragon. It's a magical beast that looks like an iguana.
This was awesome. And Snape's first lesson I would of never guessed this.
I thought the second task we see them go through, with the flying keys, was done by Madam Hootch. I mean, flying on brooms, and catching winged keys. Having the sharp eye to spot the right key out of a whole group of keys
Nope it was flitwick
@@MovieFlame why did the Basilisk bald in the Chamber of secrets not destroy the hawk Rooks inside of Harry
@@jorgnocke991why didn’t the basilisk venom destroy the horcrux inside harry? I recommend watching the video that SuperCarlinBros did about that, which explained it very well. But basically it’s because Fawkes healed him and the venom did not get to go around his whole body I think.
