I love how someone brought up that they were just staring at a LAKE. I mean can you guys imagine? They bring students over from schools in different countries, then let them sign up for a competition where only one gets chosen and all the other students remain there for a year to witness three tournaments two of which consist of watching a lake for an hour and watching hedges for an hour. So exciting.
Voldemort did actually want to be a teacher and applied twice at Hogwarts for the DADA position. He applied when he graduated and then he came back years later. I think Voldemort did care about the education of young wizards. Why else would he take over Hogwarts, making Snape Headmaster and having the Carrows act as professors teaching the kids Dark Arts?
*Dumbledore confronting Harry about the goblet* Book: Dumbledore - “Harry did you put your name in the goblet?“ Harry - “No sir, I didn’t” Dumbledore - “All right I believe you“ Movie: Dumbledore- “Harry! You little shit! Did you put your name that cup!?! Harry - “No! I didn’t! I swear to God!” Dumbledore- “SWEAR TO ME!!!”
Dumbledore - HARRY SLAP YOU FREAKING SHIT SLAP DID YOU PUT SLAP YOUR YEE YEE ASS NAME SLAP IN THE FREAKING SLAP GOBLET SLAP OF FIRE SLAP ? Harry - No, sir I swear! Dumbledore - Ah, okay then.
The most disturbing thing about this film was the implication from someone else putting Harry's name in the Goblet that the Wizarding World was completely unfamiliar with the concept of fraud. Like, signing a contract with someone else's name. Voldemort could have won the war just by taking out a bunch of mortgages in Harry's name and never paying them back.
I think the problem is that magic doesn't care about fraud, so you can't argue something being "null and void" so long as it's to the letter of the agreement, if not the spirit. That's how most magic deals in classic fantasy work. If the pact is "the wizards that the goblet of fire reveals must compete", then it's up to the holder of the goblet to make sure it isn't tampered with.
Exactly. Things like these are why I can't take HP seriously. I don't expect 100% authentic legal practice in a magical fantasy setting. But I do expect some basic logic. Why didn't HP just write Voldemorts name and put it in the goblet? He couldn't compete and he'd die. Over and done.
@@bubblehulk7647 Or, more likely, as the one masquerading as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, he was one of the ones in charge of the defensive charms in the first place, and either was the one to cast them himself or was privy to the charms that were cast and was able to avoid or counter/recast them.
@@felixandersen3815 Lots of stuff wrong with that. For one, I don't think "if you don't you'd die" was part of the enchantment. Pretty sure that was just a tradition that, if not followed, would create way more of an issue in their community, because the idea of veto'ing the goblet's decisions effectively gives any school the chance to say "I know the goblet said to bring this kid in, but this guy's waaay better, so... obviously the goblet made another "mistake" :3" Also, at that point, Voldemort was still "dead". Nobody really knew that he was husk'ing about as a gollum creature. Also also, Voldemort wasn't a current member of any of the schools involved. Also also also, Harry Potter couldn't have put anyone's name into the goblet because he wasn't old enough to get near it in the first place.
In the book it was specifically made clear that the "hostages" were briefed earlier and the merfolk ensure no harm happened to them. But the script was a real mess and that point was skipped altogether. So this pitch meeting was kinda meta in a way
And a huge part of harry being in the cemetery was so Voldemort could kill him for a big “I’m back” publicity stunt. This movie really struggled to get the “relevant information” and “exciting action scene” balance right. Leaving out the fact that Barry jr was killed by a dementor left a pretty big plot hole going forward in the movies as well. It makes no sense that he just disappeared the way he did at the end of this movie
@@jonathanschultz4045 he wasn't killed... He was given a faith worse then death. The dementors kiss. Which sucks out every happy memery you've ever had, leaving you a shell of a man you can't even have happy thoughts
@italkcrab I've always loved the 3rd film it's my fav. I love the dark atmosphere we get later meshing with the childlike sense of the first 2. And I love Gary Oldman performance as Sirius so much so I actually start crying whenever i see his death in OFTP it's just so heartbreaking to me
@italkcrab yaa I get that. I love the 3rd movie but they did cut out some important things like the quidditch games. I loved every second of every quidditch match in the books it's sad they never really did those plots in the movies
"He coulda just poked him with a needle and ran away" You know what...that's an excellent point. They were alone together after the quidditch world cup, and Harry was unconscious. No one would have known................
It’s all because Voldy is such a drama queen. He wanted Harry to KNOW that it was his blood that brought him back, do his villain monologue, torture him a bit, and then kill him.
@@theladyamalthea lol still though, the portkey could have literally been anything (a book? harry's pillow?) no need to sign him up to the tournament at all
One could argue Barto crouch Jr didn't really had an opportunity in that moment because the minute he spotted Harry (assuming he knew who he was), the aurors came. But there was that scene in which Barto crouch Jr (as prof moody) brings Harry to his study after assaulting Draco. So yeah, he could have totally pocked Harry that moment, and also many others that year
They actually made a point specifically about how the kids were in no danger at all underwater and Harry was an idiot for wasting time saving Fleur's sister, but I don't remember much from the movie
In the books they did at least. Voldemort also explains for at least a solid page why his plan was so elaborate, and how he decided against just taking some blood. Rowling knew perfectly well how far fetched the whole thing was.
Voldemort's plan in this is kind of hilarious when you realize literally anything can be turned into a portkey, but he's such a drama queen he HAS to pick the most difficult object possible for Harry to touch
Yea it's rather silly right? Why not just steal a textbook instead? Or his pillow? I guess he wanted the object to be far away from other wizards, to mitigate the risk of multiple people coming through. But surely that could have been accomplished some other way.
@@Arcessitor Yea. I guess it doesn't make for a great movie. But it's certainly less roundabout. lol Just goes to show, people don't go to movies to see airtight logic expounded on the bigscreen. They go to see meaningful narratives reflected.
It never ceases to amuse me that, of all the weird changes make from book to film, Dumbledore's aggressive reaction to Harry being chosen by the goblet of fire is the one that draws universal mention. I still remember being utterly confused by that the first time I saw the film - exactly in the moment, I just thought "what a weird way to go, that isn't like Dumbledore at all". *Everyone* seems to notice it!
I just rewatched the movie for the first time since it came out and I was like "what is Dumbledore doing, why is he so aggressive about this? Chill dude!" I think it's because it's both an over reaction and also out of character
When characters are set up a certain way and then end up doing or saying something that is so out of character it just completely throws the whole vibe off- people notice these things! It can really ruin a moment, maybe even a whole movie or show.
"I'm actually shocked its taken four years for a kid to die." So much truth in that statement, at the end of every movie Harry, Ron, and Hermonie have scabs all over their faces from being tossed around like rag dolls. Poor kids must've had horrible ptsd.
I watched 6½ of the movies. Maybe 6¾. Then decided I didn't like them because they were virtually indistinguishable from one another. Bad guy in disguise tries to kill Harry, Harry breaks some rules, hijinks ensue.... It just wasn't worth another half hour to see how it all ended.
@@theunbeatable728 I was too busy time traveling to the future for other reasons as a kid. But you're probably right all the shows I watched as a child were scripted like a mad-lib. This week the A-Team modifies a ____ to repel an attack on poor ____ by a gang of ____, and refuses any payment. "I love it when a plan comes together" Roll credits.
@@Shuizid it boggles my mind that the movies never mentioned one of the most important bits of information about that whole mess. In the books, the Dursley’s home is shielded by powerful warding meant to hide Harry until he comes of age. That’s why they had to flee to the Weasley’s at the start of Deathly Hallows. As long as he remained there during his youth, the Death Eaters wouldn’t be able to find him.
@@Aredel I mean, it's contrived either way. Same way how Voldemort plans only happen during the schoolyear. Contrived because: A) Harry has to leave the house very often (school, doctor, shopping, vacation) B) the death eaters appearently are unable to find relatives of someone without magic (his aunt shouldn't be impossible to find with normal means) C) He goes home after every schoolyear, yet they couldn't figure out a way to track his movement even then?
Ron mocked Harry for believe that the hostages could've been in any real danger. I remember having no trouble believing it right along with Harry while reading it. This is the school that once told a bunch of teenagers "don't go to this corridor or you'll totally die" and had a Cerberus waiting for them
@@Delantho yeah, but you have to admit, he did everything wrong during that detention, like separating the children and leaving the objectively two most important ones with just a dog
@@DelanthoBut Hagrid is not very good at magic since he got thrown out of school in third(?) grade... Does he even use magic outside his introduction scene?
I love the fact that after watching all these pitch meetings, not once do I look at it as this is one person playing two roles. It honestly feels like 2 different people. haha. I love it.
My better half and her sis are hardcore HP fans. I've had to read the books as well as see the movies. I have calluses on my tongue from biting it, I'm more of an Elric type of person.
Fun Fact! The reason they all had long hair is because the director of the first three always told them not to cut their hair in between shooting for the separate films so the designers on set could cut it to what they thought would be a good style for the film. But goblet of fire had a new director, so he didn't know this and just went with it
This was the most emotional scene in the book, and one of the biggest tear-jerkers for me in the whole series, but the movie was so tone-deaf in the way it handled that, you might as well go with the Casper joke.
Look, let's be honest. The ONLY way to properly introduce a character is suddenly dropping them out of the tree. If a character doesn't drop out of a tree, then they're not a real character.

"Oh man, it's gonna be hard to survive an encounter with the Dark Lord!" "Actually it's gonna be super easy, barely an inconvenience!" Basically the end of every Harry Potter movie.
All that was needed was a line in the book and two seconds in the movie to say/show that the audience had some magical way of seeing what was happening to the champions, I really don't understand why it wasn't done
They didn't kidnap the hostages for the lake task. They approached them and explained it all before putting them in an enchanted sleep (which I guess is why they didn't drown?). The hostages were never in any actual danger. I'm now realizing that the movie totally failed to explain that.
@@starpilot15 the mermaids would probably have just brought her back up after the time limit was up. Again they were never kidnapped and weren’t actual hostages. Dumbledore is friends with the mermaid chief and they were clearly working together. As Ron points out in the book Dumbledore would have never put them in any real danger. Though he obviously didn’t account for Krum nearly ripping Hermione in half with his shark teeth out of stupidity.
Tbf, it was sort of assumed that they were never in any real danger. I doubt the teachers would just leave a child down there to her fate. In fact, none of the challenges were that dangerous (in the movie). They only became life-threateningly dangerous when Crouch Jr. kept fucking around with them behind the scenes.
I love how they clearly made moody at school extremely messed up so the characters in the story can think somethings suspicious about him… only for the real moody to be exactly the same as his impersonator with no differences, so apparently the death eater was able to perfectly impersonate a dude he’s never met for a year!
I think it's Moody who actually captured Barty Crouch jr. + he's a famous Death Eater buster and notoriously a paranoid freak, so impersonate him must not be that hard.
Writer: "And Ron is super jealous and irrationally angry at Harry for putting his name in the Goblet of Fire." Producer: "Even after going through multiple years of people trying to kill Harry?" Writer: "You betcha." Producer: "Friendship is hard." Writer: "So then these adult wizards, the Death Eaters, are going to stand there while Voldemort tortures and plans to murder a teenager." Producer: "Wow, so everyone's just okay with killing teenagers?" Writer: "Yes, indeed." Producer: "Teenagers are pretty annoying."
“Why is everyone up on trees?” “So they can drop from them at the start of conversations” “But-“ “So anyway,” I had to pause, I’m still howling at this
You know, in the books the wizards camped out on a normal muggle camping spot for the world cup, so naturally, some muggle dude was in charge of reservations and stuff, but since wizards are bad at keeping their magic hidden, ministry wizards had to zap in every five minutes or so to erase that dudes memories and presumable those of many other muggles during the event. After the event the dude was rather wonky on account of heving his mind erased so often, especially having experienced some torture by the death eaters. Seems pretty irresponsible to put so many wizards close to such a large group of muggles on account of their not so recent history and inate inablity to keep secrets but even when they're not death eaters, wizards don't seem to take the well being of muggles all too serious.
Producer: Let's prolong the first challenge mind boggling long and dumb down the third challenge to just a maze. Writer: But the third challenge is the most interesting in the book. Producer: You see, I didn't go to writing school, so please do what I ask. Writer: Okay, then.
@@denmanfite3156 They changed the theme of the trial. in the book, third trial was a _maze trial,_ of how you would normally take it, obstacles, monsters, finding the right path, doubling back, etc. it was in the same category as the first two trials, overcoming physical danger with champion's own wit, magical knowledge. In the movie, they made it a psychological trial. *Dumbledore:* People change in the maze. Oh, find the cup if you can. But be very wary; you could just lose yourselves along the way. Remember? I don't think the movie even specifically mentioned Krum being under Imperius curse by Crouch Jr., just 'bewitched', as if by the maze. Also, remember Harry almost leaving Cedric to the vines? *Cedric:* For a moment there, I thought you were going to let it get me. *Harry:* For a moment there, so did I! One can debate about which is better, but for me, I didn't much like it.
I'm so glad you pointed out how the overly complicated plan by Barty Crouch Junior didn't really make sense. As a teacher, all he had to do was invite Harry to his office and say, "Harry, touch this cup."
The Ministry would be alerted to the creation of a Porkey. Part of the point of getting Harry to the cup was it had already been created as a porkey (to take the winner to the start of the maze) so Fake Moody just had to add a new location on top so it goes undetected. So Harry would simply vanish without a trace and everyone would be in a state of panic and confusion.
I'm going to predict the next batch of Pitch Meetings: 5/12: Doctor Strange 2 5/19: Moon Knight 5/26: Top Gun 6/2: Top Gun: Maverick 6/9: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix 6/16: Jurassic World: Dominion 6/23: Lightyear 6/30: The Obi-Wan show
I discovered pitch meetings during the pandemic. Opened this one thinking at some point the fun has to wear off. It never does. Ryan I hope you keep making these forever
Just when I think it's only going to be jokes about the movie, I get the "profoundly angry" moment that nearly sends me onto the floor with convulsions. Ryan, you are the best thing on the Internet, bar none.
I'm hoping Ryan does the original Top Gun when the reboot/sequel comes out as a Pitch Meeting double feature. Have the same Writer and Producer Guys meet 30 years later and joke about pitching the same story because Writer Guy can't come up with new ideas,etc, etc.
3:28 They actually have the students who are placed underwater volunteer for the job and are placed in a magical stasis to keep them from drowning, while Dumbledore and the mermaids had an agreement to bring them back after the Tri-Wizard event if they wern't recovered by the champions. JK Rowling explains all this in her book but the movie kinda glossed over it.
Ryan should do a lot more movie pitches for films from the last 20 years or so. I like his new videos, don't get me wrong but I always have to wait a couple of weeks to watch them since I haven't seen the film yet. I enjoy the nostalgia and making fun of films from my earlier years.
Small correction: the kids wouldnt have drowned (if i remember correctly from the books, correct me if im wrong) there was even mention that they took Harrys dumbness for believing that they would let them drown, and he was lucky that the jury took it for bravery rather than he being dumdum. And Fleur liked Ron from that moment because he "helped" to save her sister, and they decided to not tell her, that it was never a close-to-death situation, so she would stay Rons admirer. But maybe in the movies this was never explained, so this might be irrelevant, i went in to watch them with this knowledge beforehand.
I just recently discovered this channel, and I love it. The voice / speech style is hilarious, and I especially enjoy the recurring "Barely an inconvenience" line. Suggestion: Give us the Pitch Meeting for Battlefield Earth, which was one of the most insultingly stupid movies of all time. (And please mention the laughable idiocy of people who were behaving like grunting apes learning to fly 21st century fighter jets on video game simulators, and the fact that those fighter jets still function after sitting neglected for 1000 years, and the fact that the same kind of technology was utterly useless against the aliens 1000 years earlier when used by people who were not grunting apes.)
oh yes, seconded, thirded and fourthed! Admittedly that movie got a few well-deserved beatings already, but I'd love to say what WriterRyan and ProducerRyan can do with it. ... the way absolutely every scene was tilted, as if the camera crews had been drunken throughout (and who could blame them), the over-acting, the fact that after a thousand years the cities would have been completely over-grown ... ... the whole thing is just a buffet. And of course, it's fun to see a Scientology vanity project tank in such a grandiose way. It's like the captain of an old Age of Sail ship decided to sink his ship by hacking a hole into the hull, setting it on fire, then blowing up all the gun power _after_ fixing the wheel so the ship is heading towards the nearest iceberg.
Hey Ryan! I know you have a huge workload but I'd love to see you do pitch meetings on older films again. I mean, how weird were the films from the 70s, 80s and 90s. And to be honest, the 2000s too. Fincher's The Game is intrinsically weird. But at the same time, we had Liar Liar which is super weird. The Rock. Con Air. Basically anything Nic Cage did in the 90s. Just suggesting that pitch meeting can go back to looking at older films while still doing the latest releases
As a (now) adult, this is how I feel about every classic Disney movie. "If you had just listened to your mom/dad/uncle/grandpa, none of this would have happened"
@@schattentaenzerin I mean not really. Most of those Disney versions end with the parents apologizing. Moana infuriated me. The kid is always the wise adventurer and the parents are the backwards ones putting up borders. Beauty and the beast, Frozen, little mermaid, Aladdin, lion king. At least Simba got his father killed and felt bad about it, I'll give him that
If I had a nickel for every time a character was introduced in a scene by jumping down from a tree, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
"All the guys decided to have long hair for a year" As the guy who decided to have long hair the year *after* every other guy had long hair, this hit home hard
Fun Fact: In the books, during the scene where Dumbledore is questioning Harry after his name came from the Goblet, he asks harry "'Did you put your name into the Goblet of Fire?' Dumbledore asked calmly." In the movies, it went slightly differently. You can barely notice it.
Dumbledore had faith in Harry, knew he wasn't actually a glory-seeker, and knew he was incapable of the kind of spellwork that would put his name in the goblet. He knew Harry had been put in danger by someone else, and defended him against the accusations of the other teachers. Or at least it would have been that way in the movie, if Gambon had researched his own part or if the director gave a s---.
i liked that this one pointed out things specific to the movie and not just things from the book. Why is everyone dropping from trees at the beginning of conversations?
For the first time I’ve questioned why Moody’s eye was mechanical… Among many things that don’t make consistent sense in this movie I think that’s the most jarring.
@@sycariummoonshine7134 No it was just a bad movie detail. In the books it’s a magic eye nothing mechanical about it. It gave 360 vision and I don’t think it zoomed in
@@Matt-mj1xh Im pretty sure madeye could spot not only 360 around himself but also trough all concealment and maybe every trough people? Idn its been 15 years since I read the book... but if those are true, then who cares about zooming. It might as well zoom
"he could have just pricked him with a needle and ran away" i almost pissed myself. ive read the fourth book and am half way through book 5. as far as i can remember there is no reason why that wouldnt work. it does say the blood has to be taken against the enemies will but stealing his blood with a needle definitely qualifies as taking it against his will. that is literally the definition of stealing
The whole point of the competition was to kill Harry and make it look like he died because he participated in the competition. Harry dies any other day: Sus. Harry dies during the competition: It was because he competed. It was supposed to look normal by the competition standards. It was literally banned because the death toll was high. And after the competition, no one would be wiser to the fact that our dear oldy Voldy is back, especially Dumbledore. Voldemort always worked from the shadows, which is why many people were afraid to trust anyone. The competition was a master plan. Too bad Harry survived and returned to inform Dumbledore, the last person that Voldy wanted informed.
@@xX_YallaShoot_Xx if harry died during the tournament, how would barty crouch jr have gotten his blood. I'm thinking the reason BC Jr couldn't just prick him is because Harry would probably be aware that he just took his blood for some reason (unless he did it in his sleep which would've been difficult to do given BC jr would've had to get into the gryffindor common room) and then Harry would've gone to Dumbledore or someone about it.
Harry's blood was never a requirement. Just an enemy's blood. He chose Harry because Harry was his downfall, thereby 'the only person more powerful than voldy' which is why he wanted to kill Harry in front of his death eaters to show case that Harry killed him only due to some luck.
@@xX_YallaShoot_Xx I get it. But after reading the 6 book and being half way through book 7, I think Voldemorts ego is one of his biggest weaknesses. It was less obvious in the movies but in the books he always wants to prove something and it always backfires. Just like the end of book 4 lol
I've actually been re-reading the book. Anyone left behind after an hour would not have drowned, it was just a bluff. Also, the other schools live in their giant stagecoach and ship. That's why you never see combined classes or anything.
Yes, I remembered the same. However, the very fact that all of the champions, including the older, basically adult one, believed the threat was real tells you a lot about wizarding health and safety in their schools 😅
As someone who was 13 when this movie came out, all boys randomly had horrible scruffy long hair for a year or two around this time. Not sure why, it just happened.
So, actually Hermione even says this afterwards, no, they were in no danger. They only made the Champions think they'd be in danger. Also it was consensual, the kidnapping- they were given a choice, and were reassured they'd be safe. This is also explained in the book and also everyone kinda makes fun of Harry for believing it because it's obvious that no, students were not going to die if the Champion failed. It's another instance of Harry's savior complex.
To be fair to Harry, there's a tree in the courtyard that will actually attempt to murder you if you get too close. And a giant basilisk in the basement. And a forest full of murder spiders the size of cars. And loose dragons & soul-eaters. Safety or ethics clearly isn't on Hogwarts mind at any point.
I mean, looking at his past experiences with the wizarding world, is it really that illogical for him to think they weren't in danger? at his past 3 years, 2 of the most dangerous elements in the school were originated from the staff (a werewolf and a literal death maze), and the LEAST dangerous year for him was the second one, were he had to deal with a monster that only paralyzed people instead of killing them, and even than he head to deal with a narcissistic buffoon that wanted to wipe his mind of.
@@p.a.4512 actually, even the second year was incredibly dangerous. the paralysis was only due to them seeing the basilisk indirectly. otherwise it would have killed as well.
@@Sp4mMe Yeah, it was all explained to them. They let themselves be cast with a spell that would sleep them but wouldn't let them drown after all that time underwater.
Another great video on an increasingly sub par movie adaptation of a great book. Looking forward to seeing the rest of them. It's all down hill from here in the HP movies, and I'm sure these pitch meetings will scale in greatness along with them! =]
Yeah Harry saves the girl and Ron and then Hermione is like "Dude...it all was staged. They wouldn't let anyone actually die. We agreed to do this before hand."
3:48 I think I remember in the book there was a part where the professors got upset/offended that Harry legitimately felt the need to save the girl. They had to explain to him that the "prisoners" were never in any actual danger, that the whole thing was for show, and that he must think very little of them if he thought they'd actually drown a little girl as part of the competition.
The first two Challenges are completely wasted since unless you die you still have a chance of winning in the third. If the maze changes on its own and certain enchantments are present- going first has no advantage.
That seems to be an integral part of the wizard psyche - lot's of sparks and noise and action for little more than show. Is there any Quidditch game that can't be summed up by "people were flying around wildly committing several acts of attempted homicide until somebody decides the game by grabbing the flying golden ball" or "people were flying around wildly committing several acts of attempted homicide until the game is interrupted due to some *non-game* attempted homicide?"
I feel like this is the one time that the thing that Ryan said was "super easy, barely an inconvenience" was actually extremely difficult and very much an inconvenience.
Harry literally casted "Expelliarmus" against Voldy and be done with it. Thank God Voldy remembered how to summon a big ass fire dragon in the next movie to try to kill his opponent tho.
@@salambard I feel like the "big ass fire dragon" is much less efficient at killing someone than the basic l... y'know, killing curse, which he casts in GoF
@@althealligator1467 Yeah, against someone who knows how to just cut its throat with water (or whatever) like Harry did in the DH2 and also Dumbledore in OotP. BUT Harry didn't even know these kinda spells in GoF. I doesn't even know he knew Stupefy at that point which was very basic.
3:55 in their defense, in the books it's mentioned that the threat of letting them drown was a lie, the people taken weren't in any danger of drowning. admittedly all the champions and non taken students believed they were actually at risk of drowning so make of that what you will

Like, signing a contract with someone else's name. Voldemort could have won the war just by taking out a bunch of mortgages in Harry's name and never paying them back.
I think the problem is that magic doesn't care about fraud, so you can't argue something being "null and void" so long as it's to the letter of the agreement, if not the spirit. That's how most magic deals in classic fantasy work.
If the pact is "the wizards that the goblet of fire reveals must compete", then it's up to the holder of the goblet to make sure it isn't tampered with.
Exactly. Things like these are why I can't take HP seriously. I don't expect 100% authentic legal practice in a magical fantasy setting. But I do expect some basic logic. Why didn't HP just write Voldemorts name and put it in the goblet? He couldn't compete and he'd die. Over and done.
@@ZackofSpades kind of amazing that Barty Crouch Jr’s magic was so good that he could get past Dumbledore’s charms.
@@bubblehulk7647 Or, more likely, as the one masquerading as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, he was one of the ones in charge of the defensive charms in the first place, and either was the one to cast them himself or was privy to the charms that were cast and was able to avoid or counter/recast them.
@@felixandersen3815 Lots of stuff wrong with that. For one, I don't think "if you don't you'd die" was part of the enchantment. Pretty sure that was just a tradition that, if not followed, would create way more of an issue in their community, because the idea of veto'ing the goblet's decisions effectively gives any school the chance to say "I know the goblet said to bring this kid in, but this guy's waaay better, so... obviously the goblet made another "mistake" :3"
Also, at that point, Voldemort was still "dead". Nobody really knew that he was husk'ing about as a gollum creature.
Also also, Voldemort wasn't a current member of any of the schools involved.
Also also also, Harry Potter couldn't have put anyone's name into the goblet because he wasn't old enough to get near it in the first place.
"He just drops out of a tree."
"That's not normal."
"Teachers cheer as children are chased by dragons. Define normal."
I never realized how many people dropped out of a tree in this movie 😂
Yeah
@@albailey2346 This movie was really fun yet really random
"You should maybe see someone about that."
"No", Screen Writer Guy said calmly.
this is the one that cracked me up the most
Good one
In the book it was specifically made clear that the "hostages" were briefed earlier and the merfolk ensure no harm happened to them. But the script was a real mess and that point was skipped altogether. So this pitch meeting was kinda meta in a way
And a huge part of harry being in the cemetery was so Voldemort could kill him for a big “I’m back” publicity stunt. This movie really struggled to get the “relevant information” and “exciting action scene” balance right.
Leaving out the fact that Barry jr was killed by a dementor left a pretty big plot hole going forward in the movies as well. It makes no sense that he just disappeared the way he did at the end of this movie
@@jonathanschultz4045 he wasn't killed...
He was given a faith worse then death. The dementors kiss. Which sucks out every happy memery you've ever had, leaving you a shell of a man you can't even have happy thoughts
@italkcrab I've always loved the 3rd film it's my fav. I love the dark atmosphere we get later meshing with the childlike sense of the first 2. And I love Gary Oldman performance as Sirius so much so I actually start crying whenever i see his death in OFTP it's just so heartbreaking to me
@@partyelixir1265 It's just fancy death. And you're wrong, the claim was they sucked the soul out. Leaving a catatonic body.
@italkcrab yaa I get that. I love the 3rd movie but they did cut out some important things like the quidditch games. I loved every second of every quidditch match in the books it's sad they never really did those plots in the movies
"He coulda just poked him with a needle and ran away"
You know what...that's an excellent point. They were alone together after the quidditch world cup, and Harry was unconscious. No one would have known................
U want a 30 min movie? 🤣🤣
It’s all because Voldy is such a drama queen. He wanted Harry to KNOW that it was his blood that brought him back, do his villain monologue, torture him a bit, and then kill him.
@@theladyamalthea lol still though, the portkey could have literally been anything (a book? harry's pillow?) no need to sign him up to the tournament at all
One could argue Barto crouch Jr didn't really had an opportunity in that moment because the minute he spotted Harry (assuming he knew who he was), the aurors came.
But there was that scene in which Barto crouch Jr (as prof moody) brings Harry to his study after assaulting Draco. So yeah, he could have totally pocked Harry that moment, and also many others that year
They could have had Draco do it tbh
They actually made a point specifically about how the kids were in no danger at all underwater and Harry was an idiot for wasting time saving Fleur's sister, but I don't remember much from the movie
I think that might've only been in the book
This was explained in the book and i think referenced in the movie but kind of glossed over
@@gandheezy6163 Ron told harry when they walked back after being drop of at the pier
In the books they did at least.
Voldemort also explains for at least a solid page why his plan was so elaborate, and how he decided against just taking some blood. Rowling knew perfectly well how far fetched the whole thing was.
Nope it's a scene like that in the movie, but It might be a deleted or extended scene.
Voldemort's plan in this is kind of hilarious when you realize literally anything can be turned into a portkey, but he's such a drama queen he HAS to pick the most difficult object possible for Harry to touch
Again JKR's writing is Shiny
Yea it's rather silly right? Why not just steal a textbook instead? Or his pillow?
I guess he wanted the object to be far away from other wizards, to mitigate the risk of multiple people coming through. But surely that could have been accomplished some other way.
@@SeraphsWitness He could've even walked up to him in public and offer him a flyer or ask him to hold his luggage.

@@Arcessitor Yea. I guess it doesn't make for a great movie. But it's certainly less roundabout. lol
Just goes to show, people don't go to movies to see airtight logic expounded on the bigscreen. They go to see meaningful narratives reflected.
It never ceases to amuse me that, of all the weird changes make from book to film, Dumbledore's aggressive reaction to Harry being chosen by the goblet of fire is the one that draws universal mention. I still remember being utterly confused by that the first time I saw the film - exactly in the moment, I just thought "what a weird way to go, that isn't like Dumbledore at all". *Everyone* seems to notice it!
I just rewatched the movie for the first time since it came out and I was like "what is Dumbledore doing, why is he so aggressive about this? Chill dude!" I think it's because it's both an over reaction and also out of character
When characters are set up a certain way and then end up doing or saying something that is so out of character it just completely throws the whole vibe off- people notice these things! It can really ruin a moment, maybe even a whole movie or show.
What about horny myrtle. In thr book she was respectful and covered her eyes.
“Gives his annual speech on how this kids might die this year” as is tradition. That part got me because it’s very true

Really glad I watched these films 15 years ago so that I can enjoy this now.
In this timeline, the comedy takes for. _Ever._ to set up.
I only saw the first two movies, and still can enjoy this.
I watched 6½ of the movies. Maybe 6¾. Then decided I didn't like them because they were virtually indistinguishable from one another. Bad guy in disguise tries to kill Harry, Harry breaks some rules, hijinks ensue.... It just wasn't worth another half hour to see how it all ended.

Yeah, until they send him back to his abusive family.
Well yeah. I mean, how many times did Harry die at Hogwarts? Once, twice?
@@Shuizid it boggles my mind that the movies never mentioned one of the most important bits of information about that whole mess. In the books, the Dursley’s home is shielded by powerful warding meant to hide Harry until he comes of age. That’s why they had to flee to the Weasley’s at the start of Deathly Hallows. As long as he remained there during his youth, the Death Eaters wouldn’t be able to find him.
@@Aredel I mean, it's contrived either way. Same way how Voldemort plans only happen during the schoolyear.
Contrived because:
A) Harry has to leave the house very often (school, doctor, shopping, vacation)
B) the death eaters appearently are unable to find relatives of someone without magic (his aunt shouldn't be impossible to find with normal means)
C) He goes home after every schoolyear, yet they couldn't figure out a way to track his movement even then?
"He taught a class for a full year to get a couple drops of blood?"
Sounds like a typical tenure track job at a US college.
Ron mocked Harry for believe that the hostages could've been in any real danger.
I remember having no trouble believing it right along with Harry while reading it. This is the school that once told a bunch of teenagers "don't go to this corridor or you'll totally die" and had a Cerberus waiting for them
Also doing detentions in Forbidden Forest supervised by a guy who can't do magic
@@yds6268 to be fair, Hagrid CAN perform magic, he's just forbidden from doing so.

The wizarding world is messed up, and somehow we like it that way.
The wizards are bored aristocratic fascists for sure…
Fun Fact! The reason they all had long hair is because the director of the first three always told them not to cut their hair in between shooting for the separate films so the designers on set could cut it to what they thought would be a good style for the film. But goblet of fire had a new director, so he didn't know this and just went with it
The third movie had a different director from the first and second so this is absolutely not true. Good try though.
"He gets help from a couple of friendly ghost"
"Ooooh..do they look at his wiener?"
🤣
This was the most emotional scene in the book, and one of the biggest tear-jerkers for me in the whole series, but the movie was so tone-deaf in the way it handled that, you might as well go with the Casper joke.
Considering the ghosts were his parents, they've probably seen enough, having changed his diaper a few hundred times....
I half expected producer guy to say after hearing it was Harry’s parents “so is that a yes or a no?”
“How are we introduced to him?” “The normal way, you know, he just suddenly drops out of a tree” “That’s not normal” “Sure it is!”
I really don't get why Barty Crouch Junior didn't drop out of a tree, there was a tree close by in the books
Look, let's be honest. The ONLY way to properly introduce a character is suddenly dropping them out of the tree. If a character doesn't drop out of a tree, then they're not a real character.

Three. The most exciting part of Harry's encounter with the dragon happened when the dragon chased him away from the stadium.
All that was needed was a line in the book and two seconds in the movie to say/show that the audience had some magical way of seeing what was happening to the champions, I really don't understand why it wasn't done
@@limiv5272 Because it would have ruined the plot in the third task, since the audience would have been able to see Crouch attack Fleur and Viktor.
@@teddyhaines6613 Hmm good point. Maybe he could've made it seem like it was the obstacles in the maze that took them down
@@CyberKnight1 There were three other dragons that didn't escape.
They didn't kidnap the hostages for the lake task. They approached them and explained it all before putting them in an enchanted sleep (which I guess is why they didn't drown?). The hostages were never in any actual danger. I'm now realizing that the movie totally failed to explain that.
To be fair the movie failed to explain 90% of the plot needed to understand wtf was going on.
Well... ok then.
I mean,one of the hosages was a little girl so still pretty fucked up.Like what were they gonna do if harry didn't go back for her?
@@starpilot15 the mermaids would probably have just brought her back up after the time limit was up. Again they were never kidnapped and weren’t actual hostages. Dumbledore is friends with the mermaid chief and they were clearly working together. As Ron points out in the book Dumbledore would have never put them in any real danger. Though he obviously didn’t account for Krum nearly ripping Hermione in half with his shark teeth out of stupidity.
Tbf, it was sort of assumed that they were never in any real danger. I doubt the teachers would just leave a child down there to her fate. In fact, none of the challenges were that dangerous (in the movie). They only became life-threateningly dangerous when Crouch Jr. kept fucking around with them behind the scenes.
I love how they clearly made moody at school extremely messed up so the characters in the story can think somethings suspicious about him… only for the real moody to be exactly the same as his impersonator with no differences, so apparently the death eater was able to perfectly impersonate a dude he’s never met for a year!
Huh I never even thought about that. Weird!
Well the books state that the real Moody was kept alive in order to help the impersonator. Just one of the many things the films failed to explain.
I think it's Moody who actually captured Barty Crouch jr. + he's a famous Death Eater buster and notoriously a paranoid freak, so impersonate him must not be that hard.
Haha yes! And what's weirder is that Harry somehow managed to transfer his bond with the fake Moody to the real Moody in subsequent movies.
But Junior it's actually a good teacher that taught useful spell to the students

I had to pause, I’m still howling at this
You know, in the books the wizards camped out on a normal muggle camping spot for the world cup, so naturally, some muggle dude was in charge of reservations and stuff, but since wizards are bad at keeping their magic hidden, ministry wizards had to zap in every five minutes or so to erase that dudes memories and presumable those of many other muggles during the event.
After the event the dude was rather wonky on account of heving his mind erased so often, especially having experienced some torture by the death eaters.
Seems pretty irresponsible to put so many wizards close to such a large group of muggles on account of their not so recent history and inate inablity to keep secrets but even when they're not death eaters, wizards don't seem to take the well being of muggles all too serious.

They changed the theme of the trial. in the book, third trial was a _maze trial,_ of how you would normally take it, obstacles, monsters, finding the right path, doubling back, etc. it was in the same category as the first two trials, overcoming physical danger with champion's own wit, magical knowledge. In the movie, they made it a psychological trial.
*Dumbledore:* People change in the maze. Oh, find the cup if you can. But be very wary; you could just lose yourselves along the way.
Remember? I don't think the movie even specifically mentioned Krum being under Imperius curse by Crouch Jr., just 'bewitched', as if by the maze. Also, remember Harry almost leaving Cedric to the vines?
*Cedric:* For a moment there, I thought you were going to let it get me.
*Harry:* For a moment there, so did I!

@@brucebaker810 yeah yeah yeah 😃
I'm so glad you pointed out how the overly complicated plan by Barty Crouch Junior didn't really make sense. As a teacher, all he had to do was invite Harry to his office and say, "Harry, touch this cup."
The Ministry would be alerted to the creation of a Porkey. Part of the point of getting Harry to the cup was it had already been created as a porkey (to take the winner to the start of the maze) so Fake Moody just had to add a new location on top so it goes undetected. So Harry would simply vanish without a trace and everyone would be in a state of panic and confusion.

Ryan should do a lot more movie pitches for films from the last 20 years or so. I like his new videos, don't get me wrong but I always have to wait a couple of weeks to watch them since I haven't seen the film yet. I enjoy the nostalgia and making fun of films from my earlier years.
I feel the exactly same way. He might have just done every movie already ever. 🤷♂️
Ryan deciding to do each Harry Potter movie individually is still one of his best decisions. Keep ‘‘em coming!
Small correction: the kids wouldnt have drowned (if i remember correctly from the books, correct me if im wrong) there was even mention that they took Harrys dumbness for believing that they would let them drown, and he was lucky that the jury took it for bravery rather than he being dumdum. And Fleur liked Ron from that moment because he "helped" to save her sister, and they decided to not tell her, that it was never a close-to-death situation, so she would stay Rons admirer. But maybe in the movies this was never explained, so this might be irrelevant, i went in to watch them with this knowledge beforehand.
I do not believe this was explained in the movie, unfortunately. But good catch!
I think you're spot on with your explanation.

I just recently discovered this channel, and I love it. The voice / speech style is hilarious, and I especially enjoy the recurring "Barely an inconvenience" line.
Suggestion: Give us the Pitch Meeting for Battlefield Earth, which was one of the most insultingly stupid movies of all time. (And please mention the laughable idiocy of people who were behaving like grunting apes learning to fly 21st century fighter jets on video game simulators, and the fact that those fighter jets still function after sitting neglected for 1000 years, and the fact that the same kind of technology was utterly useless against the aliens 1000 years earlier when used by people who were not grunting apes.)
oh yes, seconded, thirded and fourthed!
Admittedly that movie got a few well-deserved beatings already, but I'd love to say what WriterRyan and ProducerRyan can do with it.
... the way absolutely every scene was tilted, as if the camera crews had been drunken throughout (and who could blame them), the over-acting, the fact that after a thousand years the cities would have been completely over-grown ...
... the whole thing is just a buffet. And of course, it's fun to see a Scientology vanity project tank in such a grandiose way. It's like the captain of an old Age of Sail ship decided to sink his ship by hacking a hole into the hull, setting it on fire, then blowing up all the gun power _after_ fixing the wheel so the ship is heading towards the nearest iceberg.
"Dumbledore gives his speech on how the kids might die this year" 🤣
As is tradition 🤣
Hey Ryan! I know you have a huge workload but I'd love to see you do pitch meetings on older films again. I mean, how weird were the films from the 70s, 80s and 90s. And to be honest, the 2000s too. Fincher's The Game is intrinsically weird. But at the same time, we had Liar Liar which is super weird. The Rock. Con Air. Basically anything Nic Cage did in the 90s.
Just suggesting that pitch meeting can go back to looking at older films while still doing the latest releases
I think the earliest movie he's ever done is Jaws. I know for a fact he did the first Star Wars.
1:57 You could have referenced the fact that Dumbledore asks this "calmly" in the book. Otherwise really funny pitch meeting as always.

He indirectly did, he mentioned that Dumbledore is usually "calm and collected"
At the end of every book/film, my takeaway was always "This could have been completely avoided if they just got an adult at the beginning."
As a (now) adult, this is how I feel about every classic Disney movie. "If you had just listened to your mom/dad/uncle/grandpa, none of this would have happened"
@@schattentaenzerin I mean not really. Most of those Disney versions end with the parents apologizing. Moana infuriated me. The kid is always the wise adventurer and the parents are the backwards ones putting up borders. Beauty and the beast, Frozen, little mermaid, Aladdin, lion king.

Fun Fact: In the books, during the scene where Dumbledore is questioning Harry after his name came from the Goblet, he asks harry "'Did you put your name into the Goblet of Fire?' Dumbledore asked calmly." In the movies, it went slightly differently. You can barely notice it.
Dumbledore had faith in Harry, knew he wasn't actually a glory-seeker, and knew he was incapable of the kind of spellwork that would put his name in the goblet. He knew Harry had been put in danger by someone else, and defended him against the accusations of the other teachers. Or at least it would have been that way in the movie, if Gambon had researched his own part or if the director gave a s---.
Yelling is more dramatic. Just ask Daenerys.
The Dumbledore of the first two movies will always be the one for me.
@@kdhavle i so agree. Richard Harris was perfect.
It's a subtle difference, yeah. You have to really pay attention to notice it.
1:47 lol that is pretty funny considering Dumbledore was actually really calm when he asked Harry that in the book
i liked that this one pointed out things specific to the movie and not just things from the book.
Why is everyone dropping from trees at the beginning of conversations?
For the first time I’ve questioned why Moody’s eye was mechanical… Among many things that don’t make consistent sense in this movie I think that’s the most jarring.
I think his eye was extremely badly translated to the screen. As was most of the rest of his character.
magitech. Lost artifact. ect ect. I mean, they had a machine that told which Weasleys were in the Burrow.
@@sycariummoonshine7134 yeah and wizards also used to to just make their shit disappear because they didn’t know what a bathroom was so
@@sycariummoonshine7134 No it was just a bad movie detail. In the books it’s a magic eye nothing mechanical about it. It gave 360 vision and I don’t think it zoomed in
@@Matt-mj1xh Im pretty sure madeye could spot not only 360 around himself but also trough all concealment and maybe every trough people? Idn its been 15 years since I read the book... but if those are true, then who cares about zooming. It might as well zoom
"he could have just pricked him with a needle and ran away" i almost pissed myself. ive read the fourth book and am half way through book 5. as far as i can remember there is no reason why that wouldnt work. it does say the blood has to be taken against the enemies will but stealing his blood with a needle definitely qualifies as taking it against his will. that is literally the definition of stealing
The whole point of the competition was to kill Harry and make it look like he died because he participated in the competition.
Harry dies any other day: Sus.
Harry dies during the competition: It was because he competed.
It was supposed to look normal by the competition standards. It was literally banned because the death toll was high. And after the competition, no one would be wiser to the fact that our dear oldy Voldy is back, especially Dumbledore. Voldemort always worked from the shadows, which is why many people were afraid to trust anyone. The competition was a master plan.
Too bad Harry survived and returned to inform Dumbledore, the last person that Voldy wanted informed.
@@xX_YallaShoot_Xx if harry died during the tournament, how would barty crouch jr have gotten his blood. I'm thinking the reason BC Jr couldn't just prick him is because Harry would probably be aware that he just took his blood for some reason (unless he did it in his sleep which would've been difficult to do given BC jr would've had to get into the gryffindor common room) and then Harry would've gone to Dumbledore or someone about it.
@@xX_YallaShoot_Xx Also, Voldemort was supposed to kill Harry when he rose again thus Harry needed to be present.
Harry's blood was never a requirement. Just an enemy's blood. He chose Harry because Harry was his downfall, thereby 'the only person more powerful than voldy' which is why he wanted to kill Harry in front of his death eaters to show case that Harry killed him only due to some luck.
@@xX_YallaShoot_Xx I get it. But after reading the 6 book and being half way through book 7, I think Voldemorts ego is one of his biggest weaknesses. It was less obvious in the movies but in the books he always wants to prove something and it always backfires. Just like the end of book 4 lol
6:22 and even *that* wasnt the biggest role of his career, my mans playing literal BATMAN.
I've actually been re-reading the book. Anyone left behind after an hour would not have drowned, it was just a bluff. Also, the other schools live in their giant stagecoach and ship. That's why you never see combined classes or anything.
Yes, I remembered the same. However, the very fact that all of the champions, including the older, basically adult one, believed the threat was real tells you a lot about wizarding health and safety in their schools 😅
Despite all its plot holes the books do make more sense than the movie
And they were not taken against their will too. They were told what was going to happen and consented.
Y'all forgot to make your comments 2000 words! 😅
I stopped and come to the comment section to write this, and also what @Clatyon Hunter mentioned
As someone who was 13 when this movie came out, all boys randomly had horrible scruffy long hair for a year or two around this time. Not sure why, it just happened.
So, actually Hermione even says this afterwards, no, they were in no danger. They only made the Champions think they'd be in danger. Also it was consensual, the kidnapping- they were given a choice, and were reassured they'd be safe. This is also explained in the book and also everyone kinda makes fun of Harry for believing it because it's obvious that no, students were not going to die if the Champion failed. It's another instance of Harry's savior complex.
To be fair to Harry, there's a tree in the courtyard that will actually attempt to murder you if you get too close. And a giant basilisk in the basement. And a forest full of murder spiders the size of cars. And loose dragons & soul-eaters.
Safety or ethics clearly isn't on Hogwarts mind at any point.
Yeah, the books make a lot more sense than the movies.
I mean, looking at his past experiences with the wizarding world, is it really that illogical for him to think they weren't in danger?
at his past 3 years, 2 of the most dangerous elements in the school were originated from the staff (a werewolf and a literal death maze), and the LEAST dangerous year for him was the second one, were he had to deal with a monster that only paralyzed people instead of killing them, and even than he head to deal with a narcissistic buffoon that wanted to wipe his mind of.
@@jamielondon6436 The movies tell the same story as the books basically, only they have less time to explain stuff.
@@p.a.4512 actually, even the second year was incredibly dangerous. the paralysis was only due to them seeing the basilisk indirectly. otherwise it would have killed as well.
"Wizards are not okay people."
That's an understatement.
Yes they are
Pfffff Mudblood !
@Latest Obsession Sounds plenty traumatizing nonetheless. Or was everything explained to them beforehand?
|-O-|
@@Sp4mMe Yeah, it was all explained to them. They let themselves be cast with a spell that would sleep them but wouldn't let them drown after all that time underwater.
Another great video on an increasingly sub par movie adaptation of a great book. Looking forward to seeing the rest of them. It's all down hill from here in the HP movies, and I'm sure these pitch meetings will scale in greatness along with them! =]
0:27
He was hanging upside-down to prepare for certain future roles.
Where is she 😂
0:13 Yes, my plan was making this installment a 2h snippet of some random come together evening they had were everyone sat around with lush hair.
Harry Potter and the Barely Inconvenience
"That checks out actually, that seems on brand for them" HAH, so true throughout this series.
Pitch meetings will never get old
Well, not quite, but getting old will be... what's the phrase I'm looking for here...
I was wondering if there would be a "Dumbledore asked calmly" joke. Was not disappointed.
"It's over, I have the high ground" said Draco malfoy before abondoning his position and being turned into ferret.
Super glad doing individual pitches for the Harry Potter movies!!! Thursdays are my new favorite day!!
That's dayist.
That dejected look and tone when he says "we're gonna cut to right after" the quidditch world cup! 🤣
3:50
It’s made more clear in the book that they would not have drowned, really wish they made it more clear in the movie.
Yeah Harry saves the girl and Ron and then Hermione is like "Dude...it all was staged. They wouldn't let anyone actually die. We agreed to do this before hand."
Staring at a lake for an hour, is basically the same as fishing lol
First test: staring at an empty arena (while Harry is flying around the school)
Second test: staring at a lake
Third test: staring at a hedge
@@jemert96 Congratulations. You have successfully completed Audiencing 201.
In 101, stuff happens. That's easier.
3:48 I think I remember in the book there was a part where the professors got upset/offended that Harry legitimately felt the need to save the girl. They had to explain to him that the "prisoners" were never in any actual danger, that the whole thing was for show, and that he must think very little of them if he thought they'd actually drown a little girl as part of the competition.
To be fair, Hogwarts is a literal death trap in at least fifty different ways for anyone under the age of 18.
"All the guy characters decided it's time to have long hair for a year!" - I'm already dead! 🤣
If I recall it was the style at the time
“It grabs you with its plantiness” is probably the best thing I’ve ever heard
The first two Challenges are completely wasted since unless you die you still have a chance of winning in the third. If the maze changes on its own and certain enchantments are present- going first has no advantage.
That seems to be an integral part of the wizard psyche - lot's of sparks and noise and action for little more than show.
Is there any Quidditch game that can't be summed up by
"people were flying around wildly committing several acts of attempted homicide until somebody decides the game by grabbing the flying golden ball"
or
"people were flying around wildly committing several acts of attempted homicide until the game is interrupted due to some *non-game* attempted homicide?"
I feel like this is the one time that the thing that Ryan said was "super easy, barely an inconvenience" was actually extremely difficult and very much an inconvenience.
Harry literally casted "Expelliarmus" against Voldy and be done with it. Thank God Voldy remembered how to summon a big ass fire dragon in the next movie to try to kill his opponent tho.
@@salambard I feel like the "big ass fire dragon" is much less efficient at killing someone than the basic l... y'know, killing curse, which he casts in GoF
@@althealligator1467 Yeah, against someone who knows how to just cut its throat with water (or whatever) like Harry did in the DH2 and also Dumbledore in OotP.
BUT
Harry didn't even know these kinda spells in GoF. I doesn't even know he knew Stupefy at that point which was very basic.
“Why is everyone up in trees?”
This would’ve been the perfect moment for a RUclips crossover cameo appearance from HISHE.
“BECAUSE I’M BATMAN.”
Why would that be perfect for a batman joke? He said that after malfoy jumped out. And he didnt play batman
3:55 in their defense, in the books it's mentioned that the threat of letting them drown was a lie, the people taken weren't in any danger of drowning. admittedly all the champions and non taken students believed they were actually at risk of drowning so make of that what you will
4:56 "All that just for a drop of blood" Thanos said calmly
"You should maybe see somebody about that"
"NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
LOL! So funny!
I can’t believe you didn’t make a single David Tenant/Dr Who joke.
I’d like to request you do the Indiana Jones movies, especially the temple of doom. That movie is ridiculous.
Agreed! Temple of Doom was the worst!
They already did that on The Big Bang Theory, though. ;-)
@@jamielondon6436 So? Nothing can beat Ryan's screen rant.
Temple of Doom is a classic and I won't have its name besmirched here.
@@jamielondon6436 Big Bang Theory did Raiders of the Lost Ark. Did they also do Temple of Doom in later seasons?
