36:31 it seems formulaic so far because there still were major characters to be established and a little bit more world building to get done. From precisely the next movie onwards, the plot begins to accelerate and the stakes begin to increase. They also get sadder and darker too.
One thing you didn't either notice or remark on is the new Dumbledore. Richard Harris played him for the first 2 movies, but, sadly, passed, so another actor, Michael Gambon took on the role for the 3rd movie and continuing forward. I love this movie because the kids are getting a bit older, and great new characters, Sirius and Lupin, are introduced. Also, Harry gets stronger with this one, and the themes become a bit more mature. Going forward, all I can say is "Buckle up, ladies," as the battle between Good and Evil, starts to ramp up, and the stakes get increasingly more intense and emotional. Bring tissues.
They don't explain this in the film, but its an important detail: the map was created by Lupin, Sirius, Pettigrew (Scabbers) and James (Harry's dad). The title on the map says, "Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs present to you the Marauder's Map." Moony is Lupin (werewolf), Wormtail is Pettigrew (rat), Padfoot is Sirius (dog) and Prongs is James (stag). Their friend group called themselves the Marauders and they terrorized the school with pranks. The three friends learned how to transform into animals so that they could help Lupin on the nights he transformed. Also, for me, this film is where the story truly begins. So much happens, so many things are revealed, questions are answered. It just gets better and better!
Along with this, the whomping willow was planted to cover up the secret passage that led to the shrieking shack in Hogsmeade. Pettigrew would turn into a rat which allowed him to get small enough to bypass the willow's attacks and press a small knot at the base that would temporarily immobilize the tree. This would then allow Lupin to enter and safely transform into the werewolf once inside since the tree would become active again and werewolf Lupin was too large to pass by. That's why Sirius/Lupin (and also Snape since he often followed the Marauders around) knew about the tree and the passageway inside.
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 can hide in the Shrieking Shack during the full moon cycle. 🌜🌕🌛🐺🐶🦌🐀🪄🌳🏚
The reason theres a bew defense against the dark arts teacher every year and they do not last is because the position is cursed by Lord Voldemort. He applied years ago and Dumbledore made sure he didnt get it, in response he cursed it
During their final exams, Lupin put an obstacle course with all the creatures he taught them about that they had to overcome. The Boggart was the last one and Hermione's Boggart turned into Miss McG and told her that she'd failed all her subjects. She ran out screaming and didn't pass the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam. Only time Harry did better than her in studies.
The Marauders were James (Prongs - stag), Sirius (Padfoot - dog), Lupin (Moony - werewolf), Peter (Wormtail - rat). They learned to change into animagus' (animals) to keep Lupin company when he transformed into a werewolf. Animals were better company for him. They created the map to help sneak out of the castle. That's how Lupin knew how to close it by saying Mischief Managed.
For me it's the 2nd one, it's by far the most accurate and best book adaptation, it has some great comic relief in it and the casting for Lockheart is brilliant. The later movies really drop the ball telling their plots, they leave too much details out in service of action and random pointless scenes that the directors thought were cool. Also as the series progresses Harry and Ron keep being made dumber and Hermione gets given all their good lines and even lines of other characters. SPOILERS: I also think the movies keep getting worse on average, 3 fucks up explaining the Marauders, 4 fucks up explaining the Crouch family. 5 fucks up every plot detail apart from Umbridge, they nail Umbridge, but fuck up Neville's backstory, the Order, Sirius. 6 fucks up Voldemort's backstory, it fucks up how Horcruxes work, and fucks up Ginny. 7 is alright, considering the shitshow that 6 was and how much the 7th movie relied on it, but also 7 misses a very touching and important moment of when the gang sees Luna's room, also in the book we get way more buildup of Dobby and Kreacher. 8 is by far the worst movie, it completely fucks up the entire climax of the story, they do very good with Snape, but everything else is a shitty mess. Final battle is garbage, King's cross is butchered, Harry murders the Gringott's clerk for comic relief, how Horcruxes work is shit, Neville killing Nagini is all wrong and way more epic in the book, Snape vs McGonnagal duel from the book is replaced with a few sparks being sent out, Voldemort's death is stupid and no one's around to see it. But the worst is the Harry vs Voldy final duel, how Harry roasts Voldemort in front of everyone, and how Voldemort dies a shit unceremonious death like a normal guy, and how everyone sees it, it's so important to showing how he was just an evil little man, instead of some epic great evil he fancied himself to be.
This was so much fun watching y'alls reaction to this movie. And yes, I've seen all of them. Have an awesome day you two. God bless. And 5 hoots to Force Of Light Entertainment 🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉
We all agreed that this was one long trailer where the Director cut out all the major bits and just strung out what he thought would make it pacy. This is the only book where Harry won the Quidditch Cup using his new Firebolt. He actually received it after his Nimbus 2000 got smashed by the Whomping Willow. Sirius sent it to him as a present but they didn't know who had and Hermione snitched to Miss McG and they confiscated it to check for any hexes that could harm Harry and only then gave it to him to use. That was one happy memory of his that he used while casting the Pattonus. And why was a dangerous Whomping Willow planted on the grounds? You saw the secret tunnel under it, that's how the teachers would smuggle out Lupin every full moon to transform into a werewolf in the Shrieking Shack. All the screams people heard were his and they thought it was haunted. And no one would get past the Whomping Willow, except Peter Pettigrew as a rat. There's a knot on the trunk, that when pressed, controlled the tree. Peter could get under the bashing branches and press it, then James and Sirius and he would go through to keep Lupin company as animals.
I love their personalities and their long, flowing hair and how adorable and sweet they are but, you know what? I really, really, *really* love their noses. I have this weird, specific memory of telling this boss I liked, once, that she looked like her mother when I saw them both in the office one day. She had come visiting and I met her and, after the fact, I commented to her how they both had precisely the same nose. Sometimes, familial similarities just speak to me ;D You're both wonderful and beautiful. On a perhaps less obvious note, you both also have precisely the same shaped eyes and extremely similar jaws, As for less reactor-related things, I have to say that I believe that the reason so many people jive with book & movie 3 is that book 3 is where the series really took off - where it started to take a notably darker and more reasilitic tone while really, in a lot of subtle ways, leaving the past behind. Book 1 is cute in the way that they introduce the story and how it is all sorted out and movie 1 really follows suit. Book 2 takes on a more serious tone than the first and so does the movie but, really, in the grand scheme of things, they're still pretty tame. Book three, though? Soul-sucking pseudo-ghosts and all the horrible psychological conditions that brings along with it. A darker tone and higher stakes, too! History! Backstory! MORE CHARACTERS! :D And in the best of ways! I think book & movie 3 is where they really gain their stride - I only wish that movie 4 had kept pace with book 4 : / what a horrendous disappointment (if you ask me, at least). There are lots of great things and themes that happen here and, you know what else? We also get a whole lot more of (my) *our* favorite witch, Hermione :D Not only is she instrumental, she's prevalent and I love it!
You guys need a memory charm or focusing powder because you have 3 or 4 things mixed up &/or intertwined in this film and the movies down the line get even tougher ! Also things you think are facts now might change one way or the other in later films. Don't worry everyone goes through it the first time through.... Good luck and thank you for the reaction & video ✌️🙂 Guess what: the map the Harry now has (The Marauders Map) was created by 4 people and 3 of them are in this movie ? Hint: Nicknames/ ?
One of the things I appreciated about this movies compared to the first three was how visually appealing it was and how it took a was darker in coloring in such a way that gave it a more serious yet also mellow feeling that wasn't present in the first two. Also, fun fact: the actor who played the role of Serious Black was my neighbor when I was really young 😎He was the stepfather of a girl I went to preschool with
I still find it shocking that after reading the books the director went, yep Gary Oldman is perfect for this. And even more shocking is that they somehow made it work.
I really enjoyed this video! Of course I also enjoyed the movie. The best parts for me are the plot twists that subvert the audience’s expectations. This one keeps you guessing for a long time before it comes to a satisfying conclusion. And Michelle guessed it was Harry who cast the Petronas charm well before I did. Well done! My then 15 year old daughter and I saw this when it opened in 2004 and we both loved it. We both remain Potter-Fans to this day. BTW, the Wizarding World section of Universal Studios theme park is fabulous!
I’m always stunned when I see anyone who hasn’t seen these movies yet- ley alone never read all the books! LOL! Goblet of Fire (4th movie and book) is my personal favorite.
The third film is a beautiful example of being turned on it's head and going down a glorious rabbit-hole with a dark, yet good and fulfilling story about not judging a book deeply (person) by their character especially when not actually knowing them. Knowing that, no one is ever truly alone nor abandoned. There is always ambient light to drive away the darkness. Friendship that is unwavering and never-ending. And, family in all its facets is the core that is woven with absolute love and loyalty. Beautiful film. Nice one, ladies.
Interesting take i thought for sure you guys would easily put this one over the last. But it’s nice to know that you guys understand why people like this movie over the last two. Keep going ladies I’m so invested on which movies will be the ones that stand above the rest for you guys.
There's a good reason why they have a different Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher every year. I don't remember which book the reason gets revealed, but they never explain it in the movies.
27:35 That is what a full Patronus looks like! What Harry was making at first is weaker version of it that looked like a shield. The full Patronus takes the shape of an animal, and it's a one that most represents your character and personality yk much like how Animagi is which Hermione was explaining in class with Snape she talked about the different between an Animagus and a werewolf she said an Animagus is a person who can turn into an animal at will. and like Patronuses, once you learn Animagi you take the shape of the animal that suits your personality the most, so you basically have no choice what you turn into, or what your Patronus would look like. Here, Harry's full Patronus is a stag "male deer", and that's like his father's Animagus form btw! Because of his great love for him and that he holds a lot of his father's traits like Lupin told him, so his Patronus represented his father's animal form. I saw people here explaining to you that the marauders map was made by the 4 friends and that 3 of them -except Lupin who was a werewolf - were Animagus! just like prof. McGonagall who turns into a cat, Harry's dad was a stag, Sirius was a dog and Peter was a rat. And Harry doesn't need to know Sirius too much beforehand! He already knows enough to choose him over the Dursleys! After all he's a man who's VERY LOYAL to his dad who spent 12 years at prison while innocent and never forgot his dead friend for a day because escaped and risked his life just to avenge Harry's dad, his bf by killing trying to end Peter for good for his betrayal. He's a fierce friend, loyal and brave what would Harry want to know more?
Between Michael Gambon and Richard Harris when it comes to the character of Professor Dumbledore, I will always choose Richard Harris. When I read through Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone for the first time, then saw the movie version, Richard was everything I envisioned Professor Dumbledore to be in the book: A wise, caring, wizard mentor who had a level head and a heart of gold. Michael Gambon did his best, and I commend him for it, but there is a part in the following movie adaptation that didn't match up with the literature. I will not spoil it for those who haven't seen what I'm talking about. Michael Gambon was a very dynamic Albus Dumbledore from Prisoner Of Azkaban-Deathly Hallows Part 2 with how Dumbledore uses magic. My favorite things about Prisoner Of Azkaban: 1. The song "Double Trouble". 2. Hermione punching Malfoy right in his smug face. 3. The introduction of Gary Oldman as Sirius Black and David Thewlis as Remus Lupin. 4. Harry flying on Buckbeak's back.
As you saw Peter Pettigrew was still alive, the reason why the Lupine said that it's not possible for me to show up on the map. It's because he is one of the Marauders who made it the map, and the map can only show someone who is alive not dead. James Potter Sirius black Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew are the four Marauders the creators of the Marauders map
Love your reaction to this. After you watch the movies read the books. There are a lot of "plot holes" you are recognizing, but the books explain them. For example, there is a very good explanation for why each year the new teachers either turn out bad or else end up very badly off. It's not a plot hole, it plays into the plot in Book 7. The "plot holes" in all the movies are just easter eggs! Its' brilliant.
A new director makes this one much more loved, and I think it's a better film all around. I read the books before I saw the films, so I'm coming from that perspective. It's also great to see time travel done right, with very tight plotting. I love these books / movies and am very happy to relive them with you two. 😊 Personally, my favorite movie is 5, but my favorite book is 4.
This is where we REALLY start to see Hermione stealing moments and dialogue explanations from Ron, who grew up in the Wizarding World, and the writers made him look like a buffoon when the book he is far from one. Also, wizards don't really care about what the weather conditions are: Quidditch is Quidditch. They play in all weather. Not rational or logical but to quote Hermione from the 1st book: "Most wizards do not have an ounce of logic between them!" EDIT: They explain why some dead people come back as ghoats and others do not in the 5th book: ghosts are witches and wizards who feared death so much they chose to remain behind as a shadow in a twisted parody of life. Most prefer to go on to the next life. This is important where Voldemort is concerned.
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 also began to consider the Time Turner way too powerful of a temptation to use for other reasons. Like Hermione said to Harry, "Terrible things happens to wizards who meddle with time". ⏳️🪄
If you pay close attention to the names Sirius Black, Sirius being the consolation in the night sky of the dog. His last name is black so black dog which he turns into. Remus lupine, Lupine comes from a Latin word that means werewolf. Remus is the name of one of the two twins that found Rome and was raised by a she-wolf
Fun reaction... thanks for sharing. Regarding the formulaic approach to each chapter, you're not wrong, but it's worth noting that from 3 on, the formula shifts ever-so-slightly with each movie. This one, for example, isn't merely another episodic tale of Harry fighting the ghost of Voldemort. This one introduces characters from the backstory and begins to explore the truth behind the deaths of Harry's parents, and what happened around the time of Voldemort's original defeat. This is also the first movie in which the villain escapes. From here, the story starts to move. Characters also begin to show more depth in this movie. Example: Snape may be hostile and creepy, but his reaction when he encounters the werewolf is gold.
I don’t know if you noticed Dumbledore was recast. The original actor Richard Harris died during production of Chamber of Secrets. He had previously been known for his roles in films like This Sporting Life and Cromwell and played Marcus Aurelius in Gladiator just prior. The actor who replaced him is Michael Gambon, the “thief” in The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover.
It’s my favorite book and I think that’s because it really blindsided you with the twist at the end. And I don’t know if it’s because I read the book 1st, but I felt like the movie like really shoved it in your face of the twist at the end before it actually happened because it’s like my favorite book because of the twist, and I think it’s where Harry Potter starts to grow up, and be more of a young adult book and not just a children’s book. It’s one of my least favorite films because I love the book so much and I thought they kinda half assed it. But if I was to takeoff my nostalgia glasses, the last book is probably the best book.
First 3 movies are down & the adventurous playtime is over. The story gets much darker & more adult after this. I like Prisoner of Azkaban very well but my favorite movie is the 5th - Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix. It introduces several new characters & is very adult in its themes. Goblet of Fire is the next movie & it explores a lot of the growing pains we all go through as we leave childhood behind & realize what’s lurking out in the wider world. The first 3 movies are their own thing as they build the Wizarding world & give background info on the characters. 4 & 5 are transitioning from childhood & entering the world with all of its dangers. The last 3 are epic.
This is a reason we enjoy watching you Ladies 👍. You are fun yet honest in your opinions. Maybe we hyped this movie up too much, which raised your expectations. The book is also a favorite of the fans, and the movie does a good job of adapting the story, which really endeared it. Plus, even though the time travel troupe is used, I thought it was cleverly done. Additionally, Lupin and Sirius Black are popular characters. Fun Reaction Ladies. 😎👍
I agree this HP is one of the best, but all have entertainment value. Excellent review & reactions 👍🏻 FYI MASTERS of the AIR starring Elvis himself Austin Butler debuts on Apple+ and now that REACHER 2 is over you might want to check it out ❓ Same people behind BAND of BROTHERS & The PACIFIC (Speilberg etc.)
Hey ladies! May I say how lovely you both look, easy on the eyes, lol! 😂 May I also wish Natalie a very happy belated birthday. I hope you had a wonderful day? Forgive me if I got the wrong person and feel free to beat me with sticks or perform any other punishment you feel necessary, ahhahaha! 😂😂 I hope you're enjoying watching the ' Happy Potter ' movie series? Such good movies and very well written. I must get around to reading the books at some point as I believe there is more in them that's often missed or changed in movie format. A great reaction as always. I wish you both a very wonderful day and please, take care! ❤❤
The 4th film is my favorite. A lot of book fanatics don't rate it as highly because it doesn't fully adapt all elements of the book, but as a film in and of itself I think it's brilliantly done. For me it was the film that really got me invested in the Harry Potter story and the world JK Rowling built.
Same for me. I saw the movies before I read the books and it is possible that is why. I adore the 4th book too but I see the movie and book a little separately and enjoy both of them very much as they are.
Hello Michelle and Natalie. I loved your review, yes it can be formulaic. I like how the Hogwarts Game has the large birds in it as well that you get to fly. I think this movie shows Harry and the gang growing up and more confident. Still learning but maturing.
Team gryffindor The stuff that happens to Harry potter I can relate with so I’ve always loved Harry potter Make sure both of you attend defense against the dark arts class
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment in the fan fiction "a Marauders Plan" that starts at the end of this movie goes into the alternate Potter verse where Harry uses his lordship to unite the magical world
The opening of this movie always bothered me. You're not allowed to do magic at home, and here's Harry doing magic at home. He used a flashlight in the book.
The movies are not good adaptations, maybe apart from the 1st two, from 3 onwards the directors were very liberal with the plot they were telling and they failed the vision of having a long running series where elements from previous books return later on in the series. Instead the movies try to be weirdly standalone so without reading the books they don't really make sense at times.
Hi! Unfortunately The wizarding world is not as updated as the modern world. They are more like the Victorian age was in England. There is not even a counselor or physiologist in the magical world so if you suffer a traumatic event you are on your own. The way the school is run, the way parents treat their children , and all sorts of things. You can tell by the way everyone dresses that they have their mindset in the past.
That's something that I don't think a lot of people really internalize about these stories. The wizarding community has developed somewhat separately from the rest of the world, and for that reason they've passed some muggle advancements by--mental health being one of the biggest! Others come out in the details.
Which one of you is the younger sister? I will guess Michelle is slightly older. Based on the more dominant and bossy nature. First time ever twitter gave me a more wholesome impression of someone =) No reply or a snarky comeback will just confirm the bossyness of the non-redhead. So be nice ;)
I remember goblet of fire was thr first movie that i remember i had got a bootleg version of So that was when i was 7 or 8 maybe when i caught upto the ongoing Harry Potter saga
It’s not that this is the best, but how you said in this first it was to kids movie. The GOBLET of fire and the final is the best. TheGOBLET OF FIRE is when it really is no way any longer a kids movie going on.
Apparently margot Robbie is married to one of the kids in this , he is one of the mean kids . Or the house Harry is always fighting with . ( he did some acting as a child) . He might work in movie production these days No this guy wasn't in sherlock holmes with rdj . But he has been in lots of movies you may have seen . He was in fargo recently. On tv . He was in a movie with Orlando bloom ( kingdom of heaven) .
Margot Robbie's husband is apparently one of the mean kids in the scene just before Hagrid's first lesson, teasing Harry. I'm not sure which one he is.

Not my favorite harry potter movie the first movie was better👻
One of my favorites is the next one. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
36:31 it seems formulaic so far because there still were major characters to be established and a little bit more world building to get done. From precisely the next movie onwards, the plot begins to accelerate and the stakes begin to increase. They also get sadder and darker too.

Going forward, all I can say is "Buckle up, ladies," as the battle between Good and Evil, starts to ramp up, and the stakes get increasingly more intense and emotional. Bring tissues.
Sirius an Remus mean wolf moon an dog planet. Bn they werewolves fun lil joke guess
They don't explain this in the film, but its an important detail: the map was created by Lupin, Sirius, Pettigrew (Scabbers) and James (Harry's dad). The title on the map says, "Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs present to you the Marauder's Map." Moony is Lupin (werewolf), Wormtail is Pettigrew (rat), Padfoot is Sirius (dog) and Prongs is James (stag). Their friend group called themselves the Marauders and they terrorized the school with pranks. The three friends learned how to transform into animals so that they could help Lupin on the nights he transformed.
Also, for me, this film is where the story truly begins. So much happens, so many things are revealed, questions are answered. It just gets better and better!
Along with this, the whomping willow was planted to cover up the secret passage that led to the shrieking shack in Hogsmeade. Pettigrew would turn into a rat which allowed him to get small enough to bypass the willow's attacks and press a small knot at the base that would temporarily immobilize the tree. This would then allow Lupin to enter and safely transform into the werewolf once inside since the tree would become active again and werewolf Lupin was too large to pass by. That's why Sirius/Lupin (and also Snape since he often followed the Marauders around) knew about the tree and the passageway inside.
I like that we see Lupin consoling, mentoring, counselling and disciplining Harry all within this movie. He makes such a good father figure for him ❤
Maybe not as far as father but definitely positive male role model.
Definitely more of a cool uncle for Harry.
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 can hide in the Shrieking Shack during the full moon cycle.
🌜🌕🌛🐺🐶🦌🐀🪄🌳🏚
Thanks!
It also shows why Sirius suspected an invisable person in sorcer's stone.
The reason theres a bew defense against the dark arts teacher every year and they do not last is because the position is cursed by Lord Voldemort. He applied years ago and Dumbledore made sure he didnt get it, in response he cursed it
During their final exams, Lupin put an obstacle course with all the creatures he taught them about that they had to overcome. The Boggart was the last one and Hermione's Boggart turned into Miss McG and told her that she'd failed all her subjects. She ran out screaming and didn't pass the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam.
Only time Harry did better than her in studies.
Not the only time he did better than her... Without spoiling it.
Thanks, I've listened to the audio books multiple times and forgot that part.
Just watched your Harry Potter 1, 2 and 3 reactions and just had to Sub. Hope #4 comes out soon!
The Marauders were James (Prongs - stag), Sirius (Padfoot - dog), Lupin (Moony - werewolf), Peter (Wormtail - rat).
They learned to change into animagus' (animals) to keep Lupin company when he transformed into a werewolf. Animals were better company for him.
They created the map to help sneak out of the castle.
That's how Lupin knew how to close it by saying Mischief Managed.
3, 4 and 6 are my favorite movies. I like this one the most because of lupin and the way he teaches and acts as a father figure towards harry.
1,3,4 and 7 are my favorites.
For me it's the 2nd one, it's by far the most accurate and best book adaptation, it has some great comic relief in it and the casting for Lockheart is brilliant. The later movies really drop the ball telling their plots, they leave too much details out in service of action and random pointless scenes that the directors thought were cool. Also as the series progresses Harry and Ron keep being made dumber and Hermione gets given all their good lines and even lines of other characters. SPOILERS: I also think the movies keep getting worse on average, 3 fucks up explaining the Marauders, 4 fucks up explaining the Crouch family. 5 fucks up every plot detail apart from Umbridge, they nail Umbridge, but fuck up Neville's backstory, the Order, Sirius. 6 fucks up Voldemort's backstory, it fucks up how Horcruxes work, and fucks up Ginny. 7 is alright, considering the shitshow that 6 was and how much the 7th movie relied on it, but also 7 misses a very touching and important moment of when the gang sees Luna's room, also in the book we get way more buildup of Dobby and Kreacher. 8 is by far the worst movie, it completely fucks up the entire climax of the story, they do very good with Snape, but everything else is a shitty mess. Final battle is garbage, King's cross is butchered, Harry murders the Gringott's clerk for comic relief, how Horcruxes work is shit, Neville killing Nagini is all wrong and way more epic in the book, Snape vs McGonnagal duel from the book is replaced with a few sparks being sent out, Voldemort's death is stupid and no one's around to see it. But the worst is the Harry vs Voldy final duel, how Harry roasts Voldemort in front of everyone, and how Voldemort dies a shit unceremonious death like a normal guy, and how everyone sees it, it's so important to showing how he was just an evil little man, instead of some epic great evil he fancied himself to be.
This was so much fun watching y'alls reaction to this movie. And yes, I've seen all of them. Have an awesome day you two. God bless. And 5 hoots to Force Of Light Entertainment 🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉
Definitely the most bone chilling of all the movies, and an absolute fan favourite
Prisoners of Azkaban is my favorite movie of the whole series! It is so beautifully done and artistically shot
This is my favourite one! 🔥
We all agreed that this was one long trailer where the Director cut out all the major bits and just strung out what he thought would make it pacy.
This is the only book where Harry won the Quidditch Cup using his new Firebolt. He actually received it after his Nimbus 2000 got smashed by the Whomping Willow. Sirius sent it to him as a present but they didn't know who had and Hermione snitched to Miss McG and they confiscated it to check for any hexes that could harm Harry and only then gave it to him to use. That was one happy memory of his that he used while casting the Pattonus.
And why was a dangerous Whomping Willow planted on the grounds? You saw the secret tunnel under it, that's how the teachers would smuggle out Lupin every full moon to transform into a werewolf in the Shrieking Shack. All the screams people heard were his and they thought it was haunted. And no one would get past the Whomping Willow, except Peter Pettigrew as a rat. There's a knot on the trunk, that when pressed, controlled the tree. Peter could get under the bashing branches and press it, then James and Sirius and he would go through to keep Lupin company as animals.
I love their personalities and their long, flowing hair and how adorable and sweet they are but, you know what? I really, really, *really* love their noses. I have this weird, specific memory of telling this boss I liked, once, that she looked like her mother when I saw them both in the office one day. She had come visiting and I met her and, after the fact, I commented to her how they both had precisely the same nose. Sometimes, familial similarities just speak to me ;D You're both wonderful and beautiful. On a perhaps less obvious note, you both also have precisely the same shaped eyes and extremely similar jaws,
As for less reactor-related things, I have to say that I believe that the reason so many people jive with book & movie 3 is that book 3 is where the series really took off - where it started to take a notably darker and more reasilitic tone while really, in a lot of subtle ways, leaving the past behind. Book 1 is cute in the way that they introduce the story and how it is all sorted out and movie 1 really follows suit. Book 2 takes on a more serious tone than the first and so does the movie but, really, in the grand scheme of things, they're still pretty tame. Book three, though? Soul-sucking pseudo-ghosts and all the horrible psychological conditions that brings along with it. A darker tone and higher stakes, too! History! Backstory! MORE CHARACTERS! :D And in the best of ways!
I think book & movie 3 is where they really gain their stride - I only wish that movie 4 had kept pace with book 4 : / what a horrendous disappointment (if you ask me, at least). There are lots of great things and themes that happen here and, you know what else? We also get a whole lot more of (my) *our* favorite witch, Hermione :D Not only is she instrumental, she's prevalent and I love it!
Thanks! We are sisters:)
Michelle, you calling Hermione and Harry saving Buckbeak was like YOU used the Time Turner! 😂
You guys need a memory charm or focusing powder because you have 3 or 4 things mixed up &/or intertwined in this film and the movies down the line get even tougher !
Also things you think are facts now might change one way or the other in later films.
Don't worry everyone goes through it the first time through....
Good luck and thank you for the reaction & video ✌️🙂
Guess what: the map the Harry now has (The Marauders Map) was created by 4 people and 3 of them are in this movie ?
Hint: Nicknames/ ?
I never saw any of the Harry Potter movies but I am enjoying this first watch reaction
Thank you!
Yes! Love this one so much. One of the best.
One of the things I appreciated about this movies compared to the first three was how visually appealing it was and how it took a was darker in coloring in such a way that gave it a more serious yet also mellow feeling that wasn't present in the first two. Also, fun fact: the actor who played the role of Serious Black was my neighbor when I was really young 😎He was the stepfather of a girl I went to preschool with
I still find it shocking that after reading the books the director went, yep Gary Oldman is perfect for this. And even more shocking is that they somehow made it work.
I really enjoyed this video! Of course I also enjoyed the movie. The best parts for me are the plot twists that subvert the audience’s expectations. This one keeps you guessing for a long time before it comes to a satisfying conclusion. And Michelle guessed it was Harry who cast the Petronas charm well before I did. Well done! My then 15 year old daughter and I saw this when it opened in 2004 and we both loved it. We both remain Potter-Fans to this day. BTW, the Wizarding World section of Universal Studios theme park is fabulous!
Thank you!
I’m always stunned when I see anyone who hasn’t seen these movies yet- ley alone never read all the books! LOL! Goblet of Fire (4th movie and book) is my personal favorite.
I hope there's going to be more of this series coming!
#5 is my favorite. Slightly unpopular opinion. This is probably my second favorite. Great series as a whole. 🥰🥰
Have heard that one a decent amount as well:)
The third film is a beautiful example of being turned on it's head and going down a glorious rabbit-hole with a dark, yet good and fulfilling story about not judging a book deeply (person) by their character especially when not actually knowing them. Knowing that, no one is ever truly alone nor abandoned. There is always ambient light to drive away the darkness. Friendship that is unwavering and never-ending. And, family in all its facets is the core that is woven with absolute love and loyalty.
Beautiful film. Nice one, ladies.
He could go and play with his Chemistry set.
Interesting take i thought for sure you guys would easily put this one over the last. But it’s nice to know that you guys understand why people like this movie over the last two.
Keep going ladies I’m so invested on which movies will be the ones that stand above the rest for you guys.
There's a good reason why they have a different Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher every year. I don't remember which book the reason gets revealed, but they never explain it in the movies.
Is it a spoiler to share the answer?? I think yes, therfor I will not type it.
27:35 That is what a full Patronus looks like! What Harry was making at first is weaker version of it that looked like a shield.
The full Patronus takes the shape of an animal, and it's a one that most represents your character and personality yk much like how Animagi is which Hermione was explaining in class with Snape she talked about the different between an Animagus and a werewolf she said an Animagus is a person who can turn into an animal at will.
and like Patronuses, once you learn Animagi you take the shape of the animal that suits your personality the most, so you basically have no choice what you turn into, or what your Patronus would look like.
Here, Harry's full Patronus is a stag "male deer", and that's like his father's Animagus form btw! Because of his great love for him and that he holds a lot of his father's traits like Lupin told him, so his Patronus represented his father's animal form.
I saw people here explaining to you that the marauders map was made by the 4 friends and that 3 of them -except Lupin who was a werewolf - were Animagus!
just like prof. McGonagall who turns into a cat, Harry's dad was a stag, Sirius was a dog and Peter was a rat.
And Harry doesn't need to know Sirius too much beforehand! He already knows enough to choose him over the Dursleys! After all he's a man who's VERY LOYAL to his dad who spent 12 years at prison while innocent and never forgot his dead friend for a day because escaped and risked his life just to avenge Harry's dad, his bf by killing trying to end Peter for good for his betrayal. He's a fierce friend, loyal and brave what would Harry want to know more?
Thanks for the info!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment
You're welcome! Really love you ladies 💕💕😍
Between Michael Gambon and Richard Harris when it comes to the character of Professor Dumbledore, I will always choose Richard Harris. When I read through Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone for the first time, then saw the movie version, Richard was everything I envisioned Professor Dumbledore to be in the book: A wise, caring, wizard mentor who had a level head and a heart of gold. Michael Gambon did his best, and I commend him for it, but there is a part in the following movie adaptation that didn't match up with the literature. I will not spoil it for those who haven't seen what I'm talking about. Michael Gambon was a very dynamic Albus Dumbledore from Prisoner Of Azkaban-Deathly Hallows Part 2 with how Dumbledore uses magic.
My favorite things about Prisoner Of Azkaban:
1. The song "Double Trouble".
2. Hermione punching Malfoy right in his smug face.
3. The introduction of Gary Oldman as Sirius Black and David Thewlis as Remus Lupin.
4. Harry flying on Buckbeak's back.
As you saw Peter Pettigrew was still alive, the reason why the Lupine said that it's not possible for me to show up on the map. It's because he is one of the Marauders who made it the map, and the map can only show someone who is alive not dead. James Potter Sirius black Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew are the four Marauders the creators of the Marauders map
Thanks!
Love your reaction to this. After you watch the movies read the books. There are a lot of "plot holes" you are recognizing, but the books explain them. For example, there is a very good explanation for why each year the new teachers either turn out bad or else end up very badly off. It's not a plot hole, it plays into the plot in Book 7. The "plot holes" in all the movies are just easter eggs! Its' brilliant.
Thank you!!
Lady with dark hair is a slytherin or maybe ravenclaw! You’ll like the later, more sinister movies best.
My favs will always be #1 and #3!!!
Dumbeldore actor passed away last mouth. ( second dumbeldore ) boyh passed away. Michael gambon . Very good actor.
A new director makes this one much more loved, and I think it's a better film all around. I read the books before I saw the films, so I'm coming from that perspective. It's also great to see time travel done right, with very tight plotting. I love these books / movies and am very happy to relive them with you two. 😊
Personally, my favorite movie is 5, but my favorite book is 4.
This is where we REALLY start to see Hermione stealing moments and dialogue explanations from Ron, who grew up in the Wizarding World, and the writers made him look like a buffoon when the book he is far from one.
Also, wizards don't really care about what the weather conditions are: Quidditch is Quidditch. They play in all weather. Not rational or logical but to quote Hermione from the 1st book:
"Most wizards do not have an ounce of logic between them!"
EDIT: They explain why some dead people come back as ghoats and others do not in the 5th book: ghosts are witches and wizards who feared death so much they chose to remain behind as a shadow in a twisted parody of life. Most prefer to go on to the next life. This is important where Voldemort is concerned.
This was definitely my favourite Harry Potter movie ever, even playing the game as well, it was fun.
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 also began to consider the Time Turner way too powerful of a temptation to use for other reasons. Like Hermione said to Harry, "Terrible things happens to wizards who meddle with time".
⏳️🪄
Thanks!
If you pay close attention to the names Sirius Black, Sirius being the consolation in the night sky of the dog. His last name is black so black dog which he turns into. Remus lupine, Lupine comes from a Latin word that means werewolf. Remus is the name of one of the two twins that found Rome and was raised by a she-wolf
Fun reaction... thanks for sharing. Regarding the formulaic approach to each chapter, you're not wrong, but it's worth noting that from 3 on, the formula shifts ever-so-slightly with each movie. This one, for example, isn't merely another episodic tale of Harry fighting the ghost of Voldemort. This one introduces characters from the backstory and begins to explore the truth behind the deaths of Harry's parents, and what happened around the time of Voldemort's original defeat. This is also the first movie in which the villain escapes. From here, the story starts to move.
Characters also begin to show more depth in this movie. Example: Snape may be hostile and creepy, but his reaction when he encounters the werewolf is gold.
I don’t know if you noticed Dumbledore was recast. The original actor Richard Harris died during production of Chamber of Secrets. He had previously been known for his roles in films like This Sporting Life and Cromwell and played Marcus Aurelius in Gladiator just prior. The actor who replaced him is Michael Gambon, the “thief” in The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover.
It’s my favorite book and I think that’s because it really blindsided you with the twist at the end. And I don’t know if it’s because I read the book 1st, but I felt like the movie like really shoved it in your face of the twist at the end before it actually happened because it’s like my favorite book because of the twist, and I think it’s where Harry Potter starts to grow up, and be more of a young adult book and not just a children’s book. It’s one of my least favorite films because I love the book so much and I thought they kinda half assed it. But if I was to takeoff my nostalgia glasses, the last book is probably the best book.
I have a feeling you both are going to like the next one better than this one. If you get a chance, read the books. Glad you are reacting to these!
Thanks!
This is the first time for me watching a Harry Potter movie 🍿 and it’s even better watching it with you two lovely ladies 🥰
☺️☺️
First 3 movies are down & the adventurous playtime is over. The story gets much darker & more adult after this. I like Prisoner of Azkaban very well but my favorite movie is the 5th - Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix. It introduces several new characters & is very adult in its themes.
Goblet of Fire is the next movie & it explores a lot of the growing pains we all go through as we leave childhood behind & realize what’s lurking out in the wider world.
The first 3 movies are their own thing as they build the Wizarding world & give background info on the characters. 4 & 5 are transitioning from childhood & entering the world with all of its dangers. The last 3 are epic.
Thanks!
This is a reason we enjoy watching you Ladies 👍. You are fun yet honest in your opinions. Maybe we hyped this movie up too much, which raised your expectations. The book is also a favorite of the fans, and the movie does a good job of adapting the story, which really endeared it. Plus, even though the time travel troupe is used, I thought it was cleverly done. Additionally, Lupin and Sirius Black are popular characters. Fun Reaction Ladies. 😎👍
Thank you!!
Read the books,first time watching with u ladies and it was a tremendous reaction.. awesome job ladies💐💯...oh yeah,,, plz do Blazing Saddles😂
Thank you!
We need more Harry Potter!!! Please continue with the next movie!!!
We plan on picking it back up in September 😊
Not gonna lie, every time you say "This is gonna come back later!", it always warms my heart to know media literacy is still alive. :)
Happy to see ladies are back
We have a reaction to the 4th movie too!
One of my favorite Harry Potter movies
I agree this HP is one of the best, but all have entertainment value. Excellent review & reactions 👍🏻 FYI MASTERS of the AIR starring Elvis himself Austin Butler debuts on Apple+ and now that REACHER 2 is over you might want to check it out ❓ Same people behind BAND of BROTHERS & The PACIFIC (Speilberg etc.)
Hey ladies!
May I say how lovely you both look, easy on the eyes, lol! 😂
May I also wish Natalie a very happy belated birthday.
I hope you had a wonderful day?
Forgive me if I got the wrong person and feel free to beat me with sticks or perform any other punishment you feel necessary, ahhahaha! 😂😂
I hope you're enjoying watching the ' Happy Potter ' movie series?
Such good movies and very well written.
I must get around to reading the books at some point as I believe there is more in them that's often missed or changed in movie format.
A great reaction as always.
I wish you both a very wonderful day and please, take care! ❤❤
Thank you!!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment You're welcome!
Noooo where are the rest?! lol loved your guys reaction!
@@Rvbeus More are coming!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment Rad can't wait you two are great !
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment I hope you can remember the first 3 as it’s been so long but they do get a lot better the first 3 are really light hearted
Hypocrites are proud creatures.
I think you mean Hippogriphs.
@@bidishahWorks both ways.
These woman are crazy beautiful!
Aww ☺️
Loving your coverage with WDW Pro!
Thank you!!
The 4th film is my favorite. A lot of book fanatics don't rate it as highly because it doesn't fully adapt all elements of the book, but as a film in and of itself I think it's brilliantly done. For me it was the film that really got me invested in the Harry Potter story and the world JK Rowling built.
Same for me. I saw the movies before I read the books and it is possible that is why. I adore the 4th book too but I see the movie and book a little separately and enjoy both of them very much as they are.
I like the last one best.
I prefer the books over the films. That in mind, half blood Prince is my favorite and prisoner of Alabama is my second
Definitely keep watching the movies ladies.❤🦉
I think 🤔 "The Order of the Phoenix" is my favorite.
Wait for it!
I can’t find the other potter movies on your channel ? You didn’t stop after this one did you?😂
We are planning on going back to it
He's playing with his wand under the sheets.
4th one is my favorite!
pam ferris always a win she plays a great hated family member
gary oldman always a win
this is one of my favorites
Ickle Diddykins likes to watch Dancing with the Stars. They put a portable TV in the kitchen for him to watch while eating.
Hello Michelle and Natalie. I loved your review, yes it can be formulaic. I like how the Hogwarts Game has the large birds in it as well that you get to fly. I think this movie shows Harry and the gang growing up and more confident. Still learning but maturing.
Thank you!
Probably my favorite or 2nd favorite harry potter film.
It really gets good next movie. Great reaction. Thank you. 😊
Thanks!!
Team gryffindor
The stuff that happens to Harry potter I can relate with so I’ve always loved Harry potter
Make sure both of you attend defense against the dark arts class
Without a doubt the best Harry Potter film!
Don't forget that Harry Potter is the heir to his ancient family line. He's literally Lord Potter
Oh okay!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment in the fan fiction "a Marauders Plan" that starts at the end of this movie goes into the alternate Potter verse where Harry uses his lordship to unite the magical world
3:29 umpa lumpa duppidie do...😂
The opening of this movie always bothered me. You're not allowed to do magic at home, and here's Harry doing magic at home.
He used a flashlight in the book.
The movies are not good adaptations, maybe apart from the 1st two, from 3 onwards the directors were very liberal with the plot they were telling and they failed the vision of having a long running series where elements from previous books return later on in the series. Instead the movies try to be weirdly standalone so without reading the books they don't really make sense at times.
Hi! Unfortunately The wizarding world is not as updated as the modern world. They are more like the Victorian age was in England. There is not even a counselor or physiologist in the magical world so if you suffer a traumatic event you are on your own.
The way the school is run, the way parents treat their children , and all sorts of things. You can tell by the way everyone dresses that they have their mindset in the past.
That's something that I don't think a lot of people really internalize about these stories. The wizarding community has developed somewhat separately from the rest of the world, and for that reason they've passed some muggle advancements by--mental health being one of the biggest! Others come out in the details.
Which one of you is the younger sister? I will guess Michelle is slightly older. Based on the more dominant and bossy nature. First time ever twitter gave me a more wholesome impression of someone =) No reply or a snarky comeback will just confirm the bossyness of the non-redhead. So be nice ;)
21.19..The face there....[ !!! ]
Two for the show!
I remember goblet of fire was thr first movie that i remember i had got a bootleg version of
So that was when i was 7 or 8 maybe when i caught upto the ongoing Harry Potter saga
It’s not that this is the best, but how you said in this first it was to kids movie. The GOBLET of fire and the final is the best. TheGOBLET OF FIRE is when it really is no way any longer a kids movie going on.
Apparently margot Robbie is married to one of the kids in this , he is one of the mean kids . Or the house Harry is always fighting with . ( he did some acting as a child) . He might work in movie production these days
No this guy wasn't in sherlock holmes with rdj . But he has been in lots of movies you may have seen . He was in fargo recently. On tv . He was in a movie with Orlando bloom ( kingdom of heaven) .
I’m going to have to look him up!
Also he’s in the first Wonder Woman movie.
Margot Robbie's husband is apparently one of the mean kids in the scene just before Hagrid's first lesson, teasing Harry. I'm not sure which one he is.
@@bidishah I think your right. I remember her mentioning it on a talk show. ( Graham Norton show bbc )
I‘m Waiting for the Next 4 Film 😢
They are coming!
Harry though it was his father who created the stag potonus because Harry looks like his father and didn't know about time travel.
Happy Friday! Great reaction! I enjoyed it!
Thank you! You too!
You're welcome! 😊
Don't tell me you gave up on these, they haven't even started getting juicy yet. 😭
We haven’t just paused until fall ☺️
Does it seem blurry or am I crazy. It looks really weird.
Fun movie 🎉
Past I thought sirius an Remus where bad but they good guys
Natalie looking too beautiful😏
☺️🥰
Are you guys going to watch the other ones? 🙏
26.55 the Dementors REALLY need to chill out..OH WAIT !..Never mind, my bad....
I remember being creeped out by the dementors as a kid! I feel like this one gets better the more you rewatch it! Great reaction!
Thank you!!
Hi there
You both look like you've just attended a funeral of someone that you hate with arms folded and all defensive!
Just trying to be comfortable
Jessica is yawning while watching.
You should read the books. Movies are like 10% of the books.
This Harry Potter and the fifth move r my favorite 2 movies in the series
React on part 4plzzz
