Hey Brother! I finally saw the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and thought it was great. I was glad to see the map although I didn’t think much of it until I saw your review. I looked it up and of course there is now an official canon map, compared to the current United States. My job for you, is to use geography and theories and stuff to find out once and for all when the Hunger Games take place. It may be tricky but the entire fandom is counting on you. And may the odds be ever in your favor
Also, J's son Luke should sort because that would be so cute. And Luke loves Slytherin at the moment so it would be interesting if he tries to con the quiz.
I think the only ethical way to have a love potion in a story would be if it worked less like Amortentia and more like Felix Felicis. You don't give it to someone to make them love you, you take it and become more open to love and gently guided towards someone or something that you're well suited for. Then you have to work on it yourself from there
Bay and Jen and the laughing fit that ensued is genuinely a highlight of 2024. I love that you all seem so comfortable with each other that you are able to laugh with each other instead of it turning into an awkward embarrassing moment. Here’s to a great 2024 with the Super Carlin Crew!
I haven't watched this yet, but I do just wanna say Ben has always screamed Hufflepuff to me in the best way possible & I kinda hope thats where he lands. J is just pure slytherin, Ravenclaw. Feels like theres too much going on in the noggin not too be.
Ben has always screamed Hufflepuff to me too and it always feels like... he's a Hufflepuff who for some reason *desperately* doesn't want to be a Hufflepuff. 😂 It's the funniest thing to me. I wonder why he doesn't consider himself to be one, or rather why he really doesn't *want* to be one?
Bens statement about staring at a fire and how it scratches something for the ADHD brain... I have never thought about it that way and it explains so much for me!!! ❤
This video is the PERFECT blend of SCB and the Pop! It was so great to see the guys talking about all the personal stuff and still stay within the HP world. I feel like sometimes J thought the fans didn’t like/know him very well. We love you both! (is anyone else curious about what Ben had possession of that he took the fall for in HS??)
If I remember correctly, in high school, someone he went camping with brought libations without telling the group, they got stopped, and Ben took the fall even though, at the time, he didn't drink.
My friend and I were recently talking about how different (and maybe better?) it would have been if the students were sorted based on values they lacked, instead of those they already embodied. School should be about growth. So, the students could have been sorted into the houses that would promote growth by rewarding them with house points when they exhibit the values of their houses. For example, the pureblood superemists in Slytherin could be placed in Hufflepuff to foster acceptance. That's kind of what happened with Neville, right? He grew into bravery over the years as it was reinforced.
They're not necessarily sorted by what they have but what they value. If it was just what they had, Hermione and Lilly would have been in ravenclaw, Wormtail would have been in sytherin, etc...
My interpretation of love in question 4 is that it's a potion you take. So you become more charasmatic or are more drawn to people who are like you or even just a potion that lets you find your soulmate
See, the trouble with these quizzes is I feel like people answer the questions based not on their true feelings, but on what house they would LIKE to be. I'd love to see some variation of, like... double-blind quiz almost? Where the answer that you metagame is in fact indicative of a house based on the WAY in which you have metagamed it.
Honestly that's part of why I never cared for the pottermore quizzes. I like the "fan" made ones that use all the questions to determine, not just random questions from a list. It's still easy to select answers based on what you WANT but with more questions I feel it somehow balances out. Almost like it's harder with more questions to not end up answering arcuately. But I really would love a quiz where the answers aren't obvious what house it relates to.
I feel like that would require a person taking notes and then analyzing and scoring, which is essentially what the sorting hat does. And the problem with ambiguous questions is that interpretations determine why you would pick that. Like doesn't matter what the other descriptors are I would pick the chocolate drink every time because I adore chocolate, that has nothing to do with me being Hufflepuff.
Same! Ben just really really doesn't want to be a Hufflepuff for some reason, but it's very obvious to.. from what I can tell, a lot of people, that he is, lol. I wonder why he doesn't want to embrace it?
People forget that Slytherins also value cunning and J is a cunning individual so I see the Slytherin but, I also see how he gets ravenclaw as well, I tend to agree about Ben though.
J got Ravenclaw which makes sense because he likes strategy, chess and is able to remember obscure facts for J Vs Ben. I think he's quite inventive in his own way. Ben is Hufflepuff. Hufflepuffs are such people pleasers like him and value kindness, loyalty, hard work, dedication, fairness. I would make the J and Ben are both Hufflepuffy because they hard work and dedication they put in to making these video despite everything they must go through sometimes. Plus, they have a loyalty to entertaining us.
I 100% agree that Ben is the most stereotypical Hufflepuff and J has some Ravenclaw but i can still see some Slytherin for him just on the basis of his dedication (ambition) to starting a RUclips channel. Strategy is also a mix of intelligence (ravenclaw) and cunning (slytherin).
I'd buy that t-shirt/sticker: 2:11 I definitely think the pop has been affecting how people voted. Because it was how I was answering (in my head, since I'm not a Quizmaster) 12:47 Ben talking about ADHD loving to stare at a fire... as I (someone with ADHD) am staring at a candle flame. I feel seen. The coffee company ABSOLUTELY made me think you'd both drink the purple, chocolate drink Some of these questions are right from past Sorting videos so I already knew some of their answers... like J answered Violin last time. I also saw Lindsey Stirling in concert and she was AMAZING. 37:30 "Bay and Jen" cracked me up! J has said online and in the pop he didn't want the ability to read minds & he was Mr. Incredible for one Halloween in a vlog. So I would have guessed "strength." The audience ranking Slytherin least for J but J constantly getting Slytherin himself tracks though because he missed matching the audience answer often. But I've always thought of J as a Ravenclaw next, so it still tracks.
I think everyone chose the chocolate drink because it's the only one that actually sounds pleasant to drink! Drinking crushed-up diamonds sounds like it would be incredibly bad for your insides, the glowing gold one sounds like molten metal, and the Slytherin option sounds like drinking crude oil.
I guess I'm weird because I'm someone who thinks a drum by itself can be pleasing. There are so many types of different drums that exist in the world, and watching someone who actually knows what they're doing can be really mesmerizing. Music with heavy beats has always put me to sleep better than any type of soft lullaby music.
I'm a major hat stall. I tell everyone I'm Hufflepuff because that's what all the quizzes say, but I'm not loyal or a hard worker. If anything, I think I've got the logic of a Ravenclaw. Maybe I can live in the walls with the basilisk and have Fawkes claw its eyes out, then heal it. That would be nice.
You don't have to be all of the things that define Hufflepuff to be a Hufflepuff. Just like there are Gryffindors who aren't brave, there are plenty of Hufflepuffs who are probably lazy and stuff. I'm a lazy Hufflepuff!
well, Helga Huffelpuff does not only take people who are loyal and hard working. In one song by the talking hat it said that she took "all the rest" maybe you're just not good enough for the brave, the cunning or the intelligent ones. xD
40:31 Some of these back and forths about what to pick are giving princess bride "but you would have known that I would see that you are a wordly man so I can clearly not choose the wine in front me" vibes
once it got to the "Bay and Jen" i lost it as much as Kangaroo Kat, i could NOT control my laughter, and its extremely rare for me to laugh at a youtube video. it also reminded me of "gred and Feorge" LOL

The thing about boredom is that it spurs you to do something, so if you are good at handling boredom then you are never bored because you are coming up with something to do.
Oh god yes, my ADHD brain absolutely loves fire too. I could stare at it for hours and it's incredibly satisfying when I can really get that chimney going
That laughing over the spoonerism is a great moment, lol. Those are such a weird phenomena - completely unintentional so you say it so naturally and confidently before realising what you said
Yeah I feel like here in Ontario Canada where I live there's almost too much pressure on kids to graduate HS and go to college because if u don't come from a rich family u almost have to go to college right away since u're only eligible for OSAP (Which is the loan htat helps pay for college) for the first 5 years after graduating HS.
Honestly these answers definitely Correlate with your personalities after watching the episode of Secret Sauce. J having this idea (although he didn’t really know it yet) to build a RUclips channel Empire he put all his thought into it to the point he NEEDED Ben for it to work exactly as he wanted. 💜🤙 Love you guys out here in Hawaii.
Lindsey stirling comes to OR every year! I go see her everytime. You guys and Lindsey our like my favorite comfort content! Been watching you guys for a vary long time! ❤
What's wild is when they read the troll one, i saw the "volunteer to fight" as the kinda slytherin/"big headed rather than a self sacrifice or bravery thing. Like "yeah, obviously I'M gonna do it, I'll win"
Everytime I got the question about what potions you'd want to make, I always interpreted it as "you're inventing a new potion that you yourself are going to drink", so for the love one, I figured it would be more like being lucky with meeting someone, or being super charismatic or something like that. I mean, I can still see plenty of messed up interpretations to that angle too, but it's not *as* immediately messed up as the concept of a love potion where you're trying to get someone else to drink it.
The Muggle confrontation one has always been one of my favorite prank ideas. People do incredible stage magic using illusions, but if I had some sort of magic/superpower, I'd use it to do "tricks" that no one can figure out, but are just on the edge of believability. Card tricks, levitation, teleportation, whatever, just something that could almost be done by some sort of sleight of hand or smoke and mirrors but because it's actually magic, people can never figure it out.
Can we like sometimes call you guys Bey and Jen once in a while in the towel section? It sounds like a funny call back 😂😂 like whenever I want to disagree, I can go "no no Jen that isn't how it is supposed to be!" 😂😂
Hii J and Ben! Idk if either of you will see this but I have a video idea if you’d like! While rewatching the original Aladdin, I noticed that genie is a mix of blue and red at the beginning and changes colours during “friend like me”, idk if there’s enough here for a full theory video, but it would be cool for a short-form!
This was so much fun! I really enjoyed this. I also thought how cool that Ben's favorite number is 36. Add those numbers together and you get 9. 369 a very Tesla like number. Very interesting. But I can see where people would think of where J and Ben ended up would suit them. I read another post to have their wives, but Im adding Dad do this challenge.
My top 3 favourite instruments are harp, flute & piano. Also as a kid I played piano, recorder & fife. Unfortunately I don’t remember how to play any of them any more.
39:40 completely understandable that it would be difficult to deal with the knowledge that someone had thought of something dark, even if you know that's something they vehemently disagree with. Sometimes things pop into our heads despite any aversion or disagreement we have with them, and it makes you feel awful for having thought it. I once heard a saying that I like a lot - the first thought we have about a person or situation is what society has conditioned you to think; your second thought is what you truly think.
For those of us who remember the early episodes of Popcorn Culture, we know what instance Ben is referring to where he took the fall and we feel his pain. Stand up guy Ben!
The editing had me spit my tea out laughing. 38:31 (Encounter with the troll with Mind Reading!) xD Also at 43:47 the power for Ben coming through with confronting a muggle! :D (Definitely need that Super Strength for those pesky muggles!)
This was interesting to watch. I firmly believe that as each person hits a different stage of life, the values, skills and strengths that we use shift as well. For example : Ben mentioned how he has noticed a shift from a slytherin mindset into something different. When he was younger, he focused on being successful and supporting himself which can be seen as a slytherin set of actions. Now, he is focusing on being a RUclipsr, finding theories and questions to answer, leading to the high Ravenclaw levels. He is also a father and husband, turning his focus towards his family and wanting to be the best he can be for them, which comes across as very Hufflepuff. My parents are very different people. When they took the test, we thought my dad would be a Hufflepuff as he is very much like my brother and I (both Hufflepuffs) and my mom a Ravenclaw. But they turned out to be gryffindors and as we discussed why, it boiled down to my parents being married for almost 20 years at the time and raising a family pulled out the core qualities and skills connected of gryffindor that they needed for the current stage of life they were in. Not saying this is always the case but it's definitely food for thought.
Happy new year J and Ben, thank you for the really great content throughout 2023, and as a Hufflepuff i am very pleased for Ben to be called one for 2024 🦡🦁🐍🦅
I wonder if growing up naturally changes your house? It would have been interesting for the sorting hat to sort the HP characters for a reunion scene (in the books) not the actors who played them but the actual characters.
Heyy brother! Love ur videos and your TTGD podcast! Just one question, could you guys make a video where you find out if the hogwarts legacy game is canon? I feel like it is but u guys understand the wizarding world on a whole other level so taught you guys would be able to figure it out more precisely
Huh, I played euphonium when I had braces and never had a wax to put on. I got these plastic tubes with a slit in one side that just temporarily wrapped them. Easy to remove, washable and reusable. Bit of a pain when I swallowed one once, but never saw it as such a detriment to quit. Kept playing until my fourth year of college. Perhaps it was the larger mouthpiece that made it better, but braces and brass can still work.
I haven't watched this yet, nor do I know how the sorting was done, but pre-viewing houses are: slytherin for J (I considered ravenclaw because he craves knowledge, but went with slytherin because I think he wants the knowledge for the sake of glory not just for the sake of having knowledge) and hufflepuff for Ben (I considered gryffindor but went with hufflepuff because while he has a sense of bravery and honor, I think those traits are more a part of his dedication to kindness and compassion rather than just being stand-alone traits). But at the end of the day, your choice does matter, and they both choose Slytherin. I'm happy to have them in my house. Helps to have people that don't fit the stereotype of "bad therefore slytherin" Edit: Finished the video. I'm happy with my predictions.
Haha, about the Coca-Cola: when my oldest sister first saw Coca-Cola (she was with my parent at friends of theirs and they only had Coca-Cola as an appropriate drink for kids), she screamed: "I don’t want black lemonade". I’ve only ever heard this story be told (I’m younger than my sister), I wasn’t there, but that must have been so funny 😂...

Please supercarlins BRING BACK THE sytherin common room candle I want to order LOTS
The reason we chose wisdom on the potion question for you guys is definitely because of the Quizmaster quizzes
I LOVE my candle. It’s sitting on the warmer right now. I’m patiently waiting to get to the charm. lol
I would love a “I’m a living breathing identity crisis” on a shirt 😂
Me too.
I’m having design ideas!
For sure
if they make that, i will 100% buy one
t-shirt, hoodie, stickers, mugs. I would "take the lot!" as harry says
I’d love to see their wives do the quiz for them.
@hufflepom that would be fun and i think also thier co-workers and parents.
This needs to be a video!!
Also, J's son Luke should sort because that would be so cute. And Luke loves Slytherin at the moment so it would be interesting if he tries to con the quiz.
YES!!!
@@sadhbhcorr942how old is he now? How much longer until that would be cringe for him?
😂 Ben has ALWAYS been a 100% Hufflepuff who just really, really doesn't want to be one. But it's so obvious that he is, he should just embrace it! 💛
THIS! Haha
I think the only ethical way to have a love potion in a story would be if it worked less like Amortentia and more like Felix Felicis. You don't give it to someone to make them love you, you take it and become more open to love and gently guided towards someone or something that you're well suited for. Then you have to work on it yourself from there
I really love this idea, as someone who doesn't always pick up on cues
Or it makes you a better flirt or more confident so you can start up conversations.
It basically just guarantees you meet your soul mate, in my mind. Out of the billions out there there has to be someone right?
Right....?
54:25 The look on Ben’s face when J moves his mug. 😂 The poor guy looks like he doesn’t know what to do with himself for a solid 10 seconds!
😂😂 so true
He's so confused and conflicted

@@azuradawn5683 sorry, I thought it said 2023 and I could remember one last year. Plus, I didn’t watch the whole episode yet.

@@LadyBeyondTheWallas a proud Hufflepuff, I too would like to know why Ben runs so hard from his Hufflepuffness.
That's how I felt too. Ben huffed puff and j ravenclaw
“I’m a living, breathing identity crisis”
Oof, I felt that in my soul 😅
Bens statement about staring at a fire and how it scratches something for the ADHD brain... I have never thought about it that way and it explains so much for me!!! ❤
It would be nice to see Kat and the rest of the staff to be sorted on Pottermore as to which houses they're in.
I love how they forgot to change the actual question for 12 but changed the answers.
Also 43.46 has wrong question
This video is the PERFECT blend of SCB and the Pop! It was so great to see the guys talking about all the personal stuff and still stay within the HP world.

Yes and I bet it was a Vape or some type of 🍃

J vs Ben videos are always so enjoyable to watch!

If I am being honest when I first watched Jay I thought he was ravenclaw and Ben was hufflepuff.

If it was just what they had, Hermione and Lilly would have been in ravenclaw, Wormtail would have been in sytherin, etc...
Ben’s description of fire bringing his brain joy makes me think I might have ADHD 😅
as someone with ADHD who loves fire, especially a crackling log of fire, it is a strange thing that these two things have an uncanny connection
My interpretation of love in question 4 is that it's a potion you take. So you become more charasmatic or are more drawn to people who are like you or even just a potion that lets you find your soulmate

Although if you are metagaming the test, that sounds like a Slytherin.
Before watching the video, based on Popcorn Culture I'd say J is a Slytherin and Ben is a Hufflepuff through and through.
J says he’s Slytherin, but I don’t see it. I think he’s Ravenclaw. And I think Ben’s Hufflepuff, like me
Same! Ben just really really doesn't want to be a Hufflepuff for some reason, but it's very obvious to.. from what I can tell, a lot of people, that he is, lol. I wonder why he doesn't want to embrace it?

Appreciate how Ben and the lady say the answers out loud instead of just saying the letter. Makes it easy to listen to in the background 🎉
I'm a major hat stall. I tell everyone I'm Hufflepuff because that's what all the quizzes say, but I'm not loyal or a hard worker. If anything, I think I've got the logic of a Ravenclaw.

Why heal it tho 😂
@sit-insforsithis1568 So it can see but it can't kill me. SCB did it with the Harry-Slytherin series.
You don't have to be all of the things that define Hufflepuff to be a Hufflepuff. Just like there are Gryffindors who aren't brave, there are plenty of Hufflepuffs who are probably lazy and stuff. I'm a lazy Hufflepuff!

"Prepare to be perceived" is low-key a mantra I actually need
The statue is obviously the best. There's clearly a secret to it. Maybe a hidden passage underneath. Who knows!
once it got to the "Bay and Jen" i lost it as much as Kangaroo Kat, i could NOT control my laughter, and its extremely rare for me to laugh at a youtube video. it also reminded me of "gred and Feorge" LOL

Nooo, my headphones went *battery low*
During the HEY BROTHER
I put a ton of thought (and even a little research 😂) into my answers when I answered the survey, so I’m super curious to watch this!
This is what I have been eagerly waiting for! 😊
19:30 I also play the trumpet! Yay trumpeters!!! I also played for 4 years with braces, and currently play for a band with the United States Army!
“I’m a living breathing identity crisis” What a quote! I would love to see that on a shirt or a car sticker 😂
I must be weird the instrument I love the sound of on its own or mixed in with others is bagpipes. Rock mixed with bagpipes hits on a whole new level
The thing about boredom is that it spurs you to do something, so if you are good at handling boredom then you are never bored because you are coming up with something to do.

I love that they are talking about the cold plunge, and I was thinking about J going across the river on their hike.
Love Bay and Jen 😂. Just a friendly heads up guys - a couple of questions/answers that are displayed on screen don’t match what is being discussed.

This is a great concept! 🐍🦡🦁🦅
Yeah I feel like here in Ontario Canada where I live there's almost too much pressure on kids to graduate HS and go to college because if u don't come from a rich family u almost have to go to college right away since u're only eligible for OSAP (Which is the loan htat helps pay for college) for the first 5 years after graduating HS.
Honestly these answers definitely Correlate with your personalities after watching the episode of Secret Sauce. J having this idea (although he didn’t really know it yet) to build a RUclips channel Empire he put all his thought into it to the point he NEEDED Ben for it to work exactly as he wanted. 💜🤙 Love you guys out here in Hawaii.
Lindsey stirling comes to OR every year! I go see her everytime. You guys and Lindsey our like my favorite comfort content! Been watching you guys for a vary long time! ❤
What's wild is when they read the troll one, i saw the "volunteer to fight" as the kinda slytherin/"big headed rather than a self sacrifice or bravery thing. Like "yeah, obviously I'M gonna do it, I'll win"
I listen to the podcast it’s so good I love it I listen every week
Happy New Year from San Diego!
Happy New Year!
Everytime I got the question about what potions you'd want to make, I always interpreted it as "you're inventing a new potion that you yourself are going to drink", so for the love one, I figured it would be more like being lucky with meeting someone, or being super charismatic or something like that. I mean, I can still see plenty of messed up interpretations to that angle too, but it's not *as* immediately messed up as the concept of a love potion where you're trying to get someone else to drink it.
That's so interesting! My immediate take has always been I don't need a potions to find love!
OK but... Question 10... E was being ignored and J forgot there was an E! Being ignored got ignored!
The Muggle confrontation one has always been one of my favorite prank ideas. People do incredible stage magic using illusions, but if I had some sort of magic/superpower, I'd use it to do "tricks" that no one can figure out, but are just on the edge of believability. Card tricks, levitation, teleportation, whatever, just something that could almost be done by some sort of sleight of hand or smoke and mirrors but because it's actually magic, people can never figure it out.
Can we like sometimes call you guys Bey and Jen once in a while in the towel section? It sounds like a funny call back 😂😂 like whenever I want to disagree, I can go "no no Jen that isn't how it is supposed to be!" 😂😂
The purple/chocolate/plum liquid is the only one that sounded good to me 😂 I’m also not shocked they picked it, because of the chocolate you sell
I also thought of it in terms of Hermione’s potion experience and that the purple one seemed the least likely to hurt you. 🤷🏻♀️
Hii J and Ben! Idk if either of you will see this but I have a video idea if you’d like! While rewatching the original Aladdin, I noticed that genie is a mix of blue and red at the beginning and changes colours during “friend like me”, idk if there’s enough here for a full theory video, but it would be cool for a short-form!
This is so fascinating so happy to see the results finally 😊
"The question is who's Bay and who's Jen?"
So who's banished?
This is such an awesome concept. It’s a unique concept but I like it!
This was so much fun! I really enjoyed this. I also thought how cool that Ben's favorite number is 36. Add those numbers together and you get 9. 369 a very Tesla like number. Very interesting. But I can see where people would think of where J and Ben ended up would suit them. I read another post to have their wives, but Im adding Dad do this challenge.
Happy new year guys! ❤❤❤❤❤
The Super Carlin Brothers is the best Harry Potter RUclips channel
My top 3 favourite instruments are harp, flute & piano. Also as a kid I played piano, recorder & fife. Unfortunately I don’t remember how to play any of them any more.
Seen Lindsey Stirling 4 times and highly recommend it. Invite her to your show...she knows Harry Potter. She dressed as Dobby for Halloween once!
Another suggestion, do the extended sorting quiz on wizardmore.
39:40 completely understandable that it would be difficult to deal with the knowledge that someone had thought of something dark, even if you know that's something they vehemently disagree with. Sometimes things pop into our heads despite any aversion or disagreement we have with them, and it makes you feel awful for having thought it. I once heard a saying that I like a lot - the first thought we have about a person or situation is what society has conditioned you to think; your second thought is what you truly think.
For those of us who remember the early episodes of Popcorn Culture, we know what instance Ben is referring to where he took the fall and we feel his pain. Stand up guy Ben!
Synchronized "Teleporting is awesome!" was hilarious. Did think Ben would go Magical Creatures because of the aquarium store.
I loveeee that the majority of us viewers are Ravenclaws! Finally some house pride and representation 🤘🏻💙
The editing had me spit my tea out laughing. 38:31 (Encounter with the troll with Mind Reading!) xD
Also at 43:47 the power for Ben coming through with confronting a muggle! :D (Definitely need that Super Strength for those pesky muggles!)
Happy New Years 😊
Hope you have a wonderful time over the holiday season ❤
This was interesting to watch. I firmly believe that as each person hits a different stage of life, the values, skills and strengths that we use shift as well.
For example : Ben mentioned how he has noticed a shift from a slytherin mindset into something different. When he was younger, he focused on being successful and supporting himself which can be seen as a slytherin set of actions. Now, he is focusing on being a RUclipsr, finding theories and questions to answer, leading to the high Ravenclaw levels. He is also a father and husband, turning his focus towards his family and wanting to be the best he can be for them, which comes across as very Hufflepuff.
My parents are very different people. When they took the test, we thought my dad would be a Hufflepuff as he is very much like my brother and I (both Hufflepuffs) and my mom a Ravenclaw. But they turned out to be gryffindors and as we discussed why, it boiled down to my parents being married for almost 20 years at the time and raising a family pulled out the core qualities and skills connected of gryffindor that they needed for the current stage of life they were in.
Not saying this is always the case but it's definitely food for thought.
Happy new year J and Ben, thank you for the really great content throughout 2023, and as a Hufflepuff i am very pleased for Ben to be called one for 2024 🦡🦁🐍🦅
Bay or Jen LOL 😂
"The cold never bothered me anyway." - Ben at some point in his life... not singing 'let it go', but purely talking about himself.
Haha.
More water so we can see the ducks float please 😊
This is like Hogwarts House "Rising"! Since your rising sign in astrology is how people perceive you
I wonder if growing up naturally changes your house? It would have been interesting for the sorting hat to sort the HP characters for a reunion scene (in the books) not the actors who played them but the actual characters.
funny thing about the trumpet question, not only did i used to play as well (from 5th-11th), but i ALSO had braces in that timeframe
Heyy brother! Love ur videos and your TTGD podcast! Just one question, could you guys make a video where you find out if the hogwarts legacy game is canon? I feel like it is but u guys understand the wizarding world on a whole other level so taught you guys would be able to figure it out more precisely
I'm a living breathing identity crisis - Bay and Jen on shirts is going to be popping up everywhere...🤣
Bay and Jen make some of the best Harry Potter content on RUclips.
Lilacs are like my favorite flower scent, along with roses... i am going to need about 50 of those candles on a budget that can't afford one lol
Huh, I played euphonium when I had braces and never had a wax to put on. I got these plastic tubes with a slit in one side that just temporarily wrapped them. Easy to remove, washable and reusable. Bit of a pain when I swallowed one once, but never saw it as such a detriment to quit. Kept playing until my fourth year of college. Perhaps it was the larger mouthpiece that made it better, but braces and brass can still work.
J’s side comments this quiz are on point. Talk to animals? What are they going to say? I’m hungry. Ha!
20:04 Lindsey Stirling is great- my favorite track of hers? Roundtable Rival from "Shatter Me"
I haven't watched this yet, nor do I know how the sorting was done, but pre-viewing houses are: slytherin for J (I considered ravenclaw because he craves knowledge, but went with slytherin because I think he wants the knowledge for the sake of glory not just for the sake of having knowledge) and hufflepuff for Ben (I considered gryffindor but went with hufflepuff because while he has a sense of bravery and honor, I think those traits are more a part of his dedication to kindness and compassion rather than just being stand-alone traits). But at the end of the day, your choice does matter, and they both choose Slytherin. I'm happy to have them in my house. Helps to have people that don't fit the stereotype of "bad therefore slytherin"
Edit: Finished the video. I'm happy with my predictions.
Haha, about the Coca-Cola: when my oldest sister first saw Coca-Cola (she was with my parent at friends of theirs and they only had Coca-Cola as an appropriate drink for kids), she screamed: "I don’t want black lemonade". I’ve only ever heard this story be told (I’m younger than my sister), I wasn’t there, but that must have been so funny 😂...
Happy New Year!🎉
