Make a video about the new super Mario movie when it comes out
Hell, about the love potion, Voldemort's mother LITERALLY used a love potion on his father. The world's greatest dark wizard is the result of a love potion. You'd think that would cause people to look at it and go "yeah maybe this shouldn't be allowed"
Well, almost nobody knows about that though...
And the books sorta blame Riddle senior for being magically roophied.
It should be taboo cause forcing your love on someone against their will is wrong
aka that implies the rape too. not great. love potions should be a crime.
@@amberg3893 Yep, and so does Voldemort. Though admittedly, nothing is ever proven about that. Even Dumbledore had no proof of it. It’s entirely possible that Merope charmed Tom Riddle and that he left her because she admitted to being a witch when she found out that she was pregnant.
I like how the "Love Potion" is essentially just a date rape drug that can apparently be bought and sold legally by minors in the potterverse, that feels way more fucked up that it is presented as
Dude, is only a rape drug when a man uses it on a woman, if a woman uses it on a man, its a love potion
It works like that across most fiction, really
Molly in the books even tells a story about she used one on someone? And Ginny and Hermione are just giggling. Fred and George sell it in a joke shop and it's all fun and games... but also Tom Riddle is conceived on it and supposedly that's why he can't feel love and is the way he is. >.> right... there are definitely so many other children that were conceived on love potions, come on. If that's why Tom was evil, there should be a huge battle royale of love-potion-children happening.
Love potions is one of those concepts that hasn't aged well. I didn't think about the sinister implications of forcing someone to love you as a kid. Imagining a world where people could just casually slip you a magic drug and next thing realized your trapped married to this stranger is terrifying. That's not even counting the other fucked up shit that can happen to you in this universe.
Yea notice none of the boys use them. It wouldn’t have gone over as well
The HP world is full of things that aren't safe - that's why it's interesting. Or would you prefer the books written by Dolores Umbridge? 😁
In the books, Ron was the member of the group who was most knowledgeable about the wizarding world since he actually grew up in it. The movies decided to make Hermione the expert on everything and turn Ron into comic relief.
Ron is my favorite in both versions though.
Feminism, what can one do?
@@stevendalloesingh1214 funny part is is that, the writer was a guy who favoured hermione LMAO they did ron dirty... hope they fix that in the new tv show ;-;
@@stevendalloesingh1214nothing to do with feminism. They just don't like Ron
@@twosunies "nothing to do with feminism" the opposite is so well-documented, I have to ask why you felt the need to lie?
Can't believe you skipped over McGonagall's line "and take Weasley with you, he looks far too happy" as the reasoning for why he got sent to the potions classes too.
Good, or else Harry would have never found the Snape Book.
That's literally high school in a nutshell.
The first time I saw that scene I busted out laughing. It still cracks me up
Snape calls himself "The Half-Blood Prince" because he's a half-blood, and his mom's maiden name is prince, a pureblood family
yeah they kinda completely overlooked this whole thing in favor of TEENAGE ROMANCE DRAMA.
ugh
And his dad was abusive
I feel like this movie did the worst job in presenting one of my favorites books in the series.
He's not wrong about Snape being one of those "nice guys" though
We know that.. it's still a goofy moniker
Alex finding out that Hardin played young Voldemort was the funniest shit I've seen all day.
And he didn't even mention that it's the nephew of Ralph Fiennes who plays old Voldemort
@@TheToneBender Nepotism yeahhhh!
@@j4genius961 or they wanted someone who resemble the actor but younger. Hollywood often does this with help of familymembers
@@aion5386 People with no generational wealth are always the ones to demonize nepotism even when it is not made in detriment of others. 😂

Varry nice

Nice
THUMBS UP
The love potion thing gets worse. Children born from relationships that were caused by a love potion are born unable to feel love, the only example I know ofis good old Voldemort
So, actually worse than roofies.
I don't think this part was confirmed?
@@mohamed10403Isn't that part literally just a major part of baltimore's origin story
@@plantainsame2049 I don't know anything about Baltimore besides what I've seen in Hairspray, but the concept of using roofies to populate an entire city is the most insidious thing I've ever heard.
@@plantainsame2049 BALTIMORE i'm dying
"So Harry follows Malfoy into the bathroom and have a magic shootout right there." I am sure, that sentence is like the synopsis of some fanfiction.
And for a wand fight 😂
"I see your Schwartz is as big as mine."
the girl's bathroom no less, while absent in the movie Moaning Myrtle is present for their duel in the book version
Stop it my wand is crying
@AnswerZone it's crying on my face
Harry being under the influence of Felix Felicis is one of my favorite parts of all the movies, mostly because it's one of the only times Harry has a personality.
The little motion he does when he talks about the spider’s pincers always makes me laugh.
It's kind of like how he's supposed to be throughout the whole series, I feel like that scene shows you more of what book Harry is the whole time.
I vaguely believe that Daniel Radcliffr had talked about suffering from alcoholism at this point in the film series
@@Gelime_ Right? He's supposed to be funny, sarcastic and sassy
“Harry” “sirrr”
“Well then by all means, come along, sirr”
If you think about it, is insane how much stuff they have to cram into two hours or so in the later Harry Potter movies. The sixth book had the origin of Voldemort, the plot to kill Dumbledore, the clout-chasing shennanigans of Slughorn, Ron's love life, the mystery of what the deal is with the Half-Blood Prince, the side-quests with the liquid luck, the other side-quest to get Salazar Slytheryn's necklace. I was watching the runtime of Alex video and thinking "Damn! We're at the 15-minute mark and there's still three more climaxes before the movie ends"
Yh I think they shouldve adapted the books into a series instead that wouldve been interesting
I think they should’ve made Half Blood Prince 2 movies and Deathly Hallows once. I know there were some important things happening in part 1 of Deathly Hallows but it was over all like 2.5 hours of woods and talking with little action besides Gringotts and Dobby. There were a lot of rlly important things to note in the 6th book that were glossed over. But I do give props to the teams on set not forgetting that these were teenagers who still did teenager things like have relationships and fighting with ur best friend over a nice new book for class. It was those small things that made us remembered they’re just kids. And ofc the big moment of Dumbledore dying
It IS interesting love potions are treated as lighthearted amongst the kids despite the fact that a love potion is low key responsible for Voldemort existing and becoming Voldemort
I always thought it was because the commonly available love potions (like the ones sold at Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes) were less potent, and temporary. Merope Gaunt probably used a more potent love potion, and even then she had to give it to Tom Sr. at fixed intervals.
Wait what happened?
@@user-zf4kv9ou2i Voldemort’s mother (Merope Gaunt) was a poor, abused young witch that set her sights on a rich muggle neighbor (Tom Riddle Sr) that looked down on her family. She gave him a love potion to induce him to fall in love with her and run off with her. She had to slip it into his food/drinks at regular intervals to maintain the effects. She and Tom Sr eventually have Voldemort. Sometime after, the mother convinces herself Tom Sr really loves her and stops giving him the love potion. Tom Sr abandons her and Voldemort as soon as the effects wear off, leading to Voldemort hating his muggle father and muggles in general and becoming Voldemort.
Also, in Half Blood Prince, Ron eats chocolates that were sent to Harry anonymously. Turns out the chocolates were sent by a girl who had spiked them with a love potion meant for Harry. Love potions get stronger and more dangerous the longer they sit, and these chocolates had sat for a while before Ron ate them. Ron is acting dumb and going on about how amazing this girl he barely knows is, so Harry realizes what’s happened and takes Ron to their potions professor’s office to get an antidote. While in the office, the potion starts to literally kill Ron. Ron drops to the ground and starts foaming at the mouth and his eyes roll back. (This was played for laughs/not very serious in the movie, but it was life or death in the book.) The potions professor is kind of frozen in shock. Luckily, Harry had been reading an old potions textbook with an annotation explaining that a bezoar (a stone from a goat’s stomach IIRC) is the antidote to a LOT of potions. The potions professor has them in his office, so Harry quickly grabs one and forces it in Ron’s mouth which saves Ron.
@@beautyandthebar4071 thanks, quick question is Ron actually in love with lanvandar or is it is st a love potion?
@@user-zf4kv9ou2i Love is a strong word lol but he actually liked her or more so liked how she fawned over him and liked making out with her. But then he felt smothered and started dodging her lol. The entire series Ron only really loves Hermione. But no, Lavender did not use a love potion on him.
About Ron's personality, yeah the movies did him dirty by continually Flanderizing his character.
If you pay attention, the books are actually mystery novels set in a fantasy world. Harry is the detective who gets the puzzle to click, Hermione is the book-smart heart of the trio who supplies trivial knowledge, and Ron is the street-smart lancer who knows all the right contacts. Ron is able to make connections that escape Harry and Hermione because he was raised in a wizard household, and since his dad works in the Ministry he knows all the juicy rumors floating around the wizarding community.
The movies gave all his "aha!" moments to Hermione to make her the archetypal smart character, and reduced Ron to the loyal dumb muscle.
More eating champion than muscle if you ask me
My theory is that the person who wrote all the movies, Steve Kloves, except the 5th, hated how much people liked Ron so he decided to do a character assassination of him. Kloves did favor Hermione and before the films Ron was almost everyone's favorite character. I think it also played a bit into how he portrayed Ginny. After it became indisputable that Harry and Ginny were gonna end up together he did everything in his power, in the films, to try and ruin her character to and make Harry and Hermione get together. Like making fanfiction so public and notorious as a way to try and force the author to make your ships canon.
It's sad what they did to Ron.
L filmmakers
@@Worm-revolver That's not theory. That's truth
Ron is definitely not muscle!
Its also funny that using the spell that kills you is an immediate life scentence in the soul sucking torture prison but 16 year olds are rewarded for brewing the potion that kills you with 1 drop.
If I remember correctly, Liquid Death is a sleeping potion or something, not really a killing potion.
@@Scion141 yeah, and aren’t killing potions literally just called poison even in the potterverse?
@@Scion141 No because Slughorn says to Harry his potion is so strong it can kill a horse or smth.
@@zlatkakardaleva5738 Slughorn said, "It would kill us all" - but that dialogue is a *movie addition.* Slughorn doesn't mention anything about the potion having any killing abilities in that same scene in the book. He just congratulates Harry as the winner, and gives him the potion.
______Excerpt from the book________
“And time’s . . . up!” called Slughorn. “Stop stirring, please!” Slughorn moved slowly among the tables, peering into cauldrons.
He made no comment, but occasionally gave the potions a stir or a sniff. At last he reached the table where Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ernie were sitting. He smiled ruefully at the tar-like substance in Ron’s cauldron. He passed over Ernie’s navy concoction.
Hermione’s potion he gave an approving nod. Then he saw Harry’s, and a look of incredulous delight spread over his face.
“The clear winner!” he cried to the dungeon. “Excellent, excellent, Harry! Good lord, it’s clear you’ve inherited your mother’s talent. She was a dab hand at Potions, Lily was! Here you are, then, here you are - one bottle of Felix Felicis, as promised, and use it well!”
Harry slipped the tiny bottle of golden liquid into his inner pocket, feeling an odd combination of delight at the furious looks on the Slytherins’ faces and guilt at the disappointed expression on Hermione’s. Ron looked simply dumbfounded.
---------------------------------------
And Google, "Draught of Living Death", and read up about the potion, and why it's called that.
I've always thought of the Draught of Living Death as the potion Juliet took to fake her death in "Romeo and Juliet."
In the books Luna is way more crazy. She believes Sirius Black is not a murderer but a lead singer in a band. Also one time her father blows up their house cause he thought the explosive skull they had in the house wasn’t dangerous.
She also thinks Cornelius Fudge has Gringotts goblins killed and cooked in pies to get the gold.
@@Xehanort10 In her defense - that's really sounds like something which bgood old Ministry of Magic would do
sounds like a normal conspiracy theorist 🤷♀️😂
Oh yeah... she was actually pretty frustrating lol
I forgot how much they toned her down for the movies, lol. For the better, to be fair.
The luck potion doesn't actually work the way it's described. It just makes the drinker more confident, like alcohol but without the stumbling and slurring. Also, the drinker can build a tolerance to it if consumed frequently. But also, can still die and when you're too confident, you put yourself in danger more often. And no, Rowling didn't retcon it on Twitter. Dumbledore explains this in the book.
Okay, but it also compels you to take actions that will lead to the desired outcome; e.g. Harry goes to visit Hagrid for no reason except that the Felix Felices told him to.
@@ryanbarham8464 good point, alcohol tends to do that, too.
@@stevendalloesingh1214 What alcohol are you drinking, that makes your life go better whenever you drink it?
The potion does give some luck, in the climax of the 6th book, Harry lets some of his friends take sips of the potions during that fight against death eaters in Hogwarts and they can tell the potion helped to some extent.
You had me at alcohol. I'm gonna get plastered and drive through two school zones to get to work tomorrow. I'm confident I'll stay on the road and have a smooth day that is full of successful endeavors.
I like to imagine that Snape just looks at the destruction Bellatrix caused, sighs, and then just waves his hand to fix everything and tells her not to do it again.
lol that sounds pretty in character. He is just so done. With everything.
Well the school is repaired by Deathly Hallows so this could very well be true.
snape as bellatrix's babysitter sounds about right 😂
this is my headcanon now
The best scene from half blood prince book.
“Pathetic, Weasley,” said Snape, after a while. “Here - let me
show you -”
He turned his wand on Harry so fast that Harry reacted instinctively; all thought of nonverbal spells forgotten, he yelled, “Protego!”
His Shield Charm was so strong Snape was knocked off-balance
and hit a desk. The whole class had looked around and now
watched as Snape righted himself, scowling.
“Do you remember me telling you we are practicing nonverbal
spells, Potter?”
“Yes,” said Harry stiffly.
“Yes, sir.”
“There’s no need to call me ‘sir,’ Professor.”
The words had escaped him before he knew what he was saying.
Several people gasped, including Hermione. Behind Snape, however, Ron, Dean, and Seamus grinned appreciatively.

_The Half-Blood Prince_ was my favorite book of the Harry Potter novels because it finally gave us all this backstory on Severus Snape and Voldemort, and being a huge Snape fan I was looking forward to the movie adaptation... until I watched it and saw the movie had left out abut 80% of the Snape content and made a slide show out of the rest. The irony that both Severus and Tom Riddle were "Half-Bloods" with Muggle fathers and both were powerful Wizards yet Voldemort was always going on about how "Pure-Blood Wizards" were supposedly superior, how shitty James Potter's gang had treated Snape because Snape was a) poor as dirt, b) a scholarship boy, and c) a Half-Blood (well done, James Potter!). How Snape's mother had come from a pure-blooded wizarding family but was the last of her family and impoverished and destitute and married to an abuse man who mistreated her and Severus but she couldn't defend herself and her son because her wand had been taken away by the Ministery of Magic. How Severus became a Death-Eater because basically (like many relifious cults or radical movements do to draw in recruits) they welcomed him and pretended to offer him community. And how Snape came to see Dumbledore as a replacement father (just as Harry later would) but Dumbledore basically just used him as a convenient spy to infiltrate the Death-Eaters.
Nope, chuck most of that out and concentrate on the teen romance, movie script writers.
You can become the first youtuber that actually elaborates and fills in whatever the movie (book adaptation) has left out. It's content that literally writes itself (pun intended)
Please teach me how to fit all those into a finite duration film
Snape fans will literally make up anything to defend Snape. Calling James a blood supremacist when he literally married a muggle born if we are talking about blood supremacist let's talk about Snape who called lily a mudblood and joined a group whose ideology is based on blood supremacy. Lastly, James didn't bully him because of any reason you mentioned he did so because he liked to associate with the dark arts it was mentioned in the books.
what do you mean by scholarship boy?? i thought students just got into hogwarts without needing to pay for anything

Apparently, the people in charge of these movies really hated Ron for whatever reason.
Blame Steve Kloves. He told Rowling that Hermione is his favourite character which unfortunately says a lot
Yes, they gave a lot of his book lines/actions to Hermione. He's the one who grew up in the world and knew stuff Harry and Hermione didn't (e.g. what Mudblood meant). When Malfoy first used it on Hermione, she didn't understand it. It was clearly meant as an insult, but Ron had to explain the whole racial purity stuff to them. In the movies, Hermione just knew it.
Likewise, Ron was the one who stood up (with a broken ankle) and told Sirius he'd have to through them to get to Harry in PoA. Real badass/true friend moment. In the movie, he's off to the side whining, while Hermione does it.
didn't one of the directors have a crush on Hermione or something and decided to just give her all of Ron's good traits
@@carlrood4457 Ron was the one in the books who also was willing to go toe to toe against Severus when he was bullying Hermione. SEVERUS.
Like think about that this is a CHILD a full CHILD willing to stand up to an ADULT because he didn't like the way his friend was being treated. And not only that, but stand up to a VERY. DANGEROUS adult at that-you can argue about Severus' morality till the cows come home but no one can deny his skill as a wizard. He could easily kill if he wanted to even without the killing curse. And Ron knew that and STILL stood up to Severus. And in book 3, it was all three who knocked Severus out not just Harry. Again showing how loyal both Ron and Hermione are to Harry, rather than just tagging along. AAAAAAAAAND in movie 5 they show Hermione as all EXCITED to break the rules, WHEN THIS MF IN BOOK 4 LITERALLY KIDNAPPED SOMEONE lol. Like Jesus lol.
@@TheRibottoStudios Movie 5: Hermione would never break the rules!
Movie 2: Hold my beer
Yes love potions are messed up. Voldemort was conceived due to the effects of a love potion which is why he lacks the ability to feel love or empathy
he cannot feel it at all if I were his dad I would of ran too 😂 his mother was clearly obsessed with this muggle boy that's obvious, love potions should be taboo
I really liked Malfoy in the book. I think he was really well written as a character who was trying to follow in his dads footsteps and follow voldemort, but hes also 16.
I felt so bad for him this entire movie 😢
Prince is Snape’s mother’s maiden name. She was from one of influential pure blood families but married to an abusive muggle, and Snape had to carry his father’s last name which he resented. So basically he is a half-blood Prince from his mother’s side.
Also he was Voldemort's right hand Voldemort thinks himself a king so it also makes sense this way too
@@karolinakuc4783 this isn’t in the books. Snape called himself the half blood prince while still a student at Hogwarts, before Tom riddle even became known as Voldemort. Also considering the fact that he was never truly loyal to Voldemort, it doesn’t make sense that he would hide his identity with this name. I also think Voldy would not appreciate any nickname with “half blood” in it 😂
@@karolinakuc4783 that's Harry's idea .
I will never understand how a witch can be abused by a muggle. That is like an adult man let a little child bully him
Harry under the Felix Felicis' effects has to be the funnniest scene of the saga. Absolutely hilarious dialogue.

@@jaybehkay2438"You tell those spiders, Ron."
In the PC game for this scene they have a rendition of the HP theme in a jazzy manner and you walk in a swagger way around the school; it's so fun!
On the subject of Cho.. they kinda fell apart. In OotP they went on a date and it went horribly. Cho wanted to talk about Cedric, her late boyfriend. Whereas Harry did not, because he's Harry. Then Harry tried to change subjects by saying he was going to meet up with Hermione and that of course set Cho off.
And then later Cho's friend tells Umbridge about the DA. Cho tries to defend her to harry and he essentially tells her to fuck off. However in the movie Cho tells Umbridge, having taken the truth potion.
It was very stupid in the movies because you can't fight a love potion
and the amazing jinx Hermione set on the DA sign up sheet so the girl who snitched got
"TATTLETALE" or something like that permanently etched on her face in pimples.
They did Cho dirty in the movies, at least in the books there's an explanation.

I cried laughing when he compared the scene of Dumbledore drinking the potion to you when your mom made you eat shredded wheat and oatmeal. the part where Dumbledore yelled "KILL ME" had me so weak because that's how I reacted when I was forced to eat oatmeal.

Alex: "Ey yo, why voldemort not got a factory of this stuff?"
Just don't get it wrong

@@michelleh.5225voldemort was one of the greatest wizards of all time i’m sure he could have managed to get enough liquid luck
@@diaryxxoBeing a great wizard, won't make you great potion maker. In the beginning of the movie/book Slughorn explains how he's been hiding from the death eaters for a while, because they wanted to recruit/ turn/ hire him. I'm pretty sure potions like Felix Felices, are the reason for that.
Yea so Voldemort being the evil basically demon he is, would just....kidnap potion masters. It's really not that hard to grasp why Alex said what he said

When you see the entire exposition in the final movie, the line “Severus, please.” hits different.
Absolutely. Totally different rewatching it all these years later
That line never hit different to me because since the 1st moment *I knew* Dumbledore was asking Snape to kill him. I didn't know why(I had only read the 1st 3 books),but _I knew_ he had a plan. I didn't know what it was,but _I knew_ there was _something_ there and that Snape didn't just do that for nothing.U_________U
@@Nicamon I didn't really grasp the concept, but I just knew this was something bigger. That there was a hidden meaning to the sentence. Dumbledore doesn't BEG. So it just felt so off putting. Like you know, it tickled your instincts....And THEN you get to Severus' death and it makes THAT so much sadder because by asking Severus "please." he signed Severus' death warrant that night. That's why you know in your bones it just feels WRONG.
@@TheRibottoStudios I never liked Snape so his death doesn't bother me. My point was that,after you made me think for the whole 1st movie he was on Voldemort's side and then you proved me he wasn't,YOU CAN'T FOOL ME WITH THE SAME TRICK TWICE!

I don't know why but the concept of a first year taking a dump and minding their own business during Harry and Draco's wand fight is hilarious to me
Even though you were memeing over it, that scene where Bellatrix destroyed the Hall and Draco looked at it horrified and sorrowful, still hit me

Yeah, Luna seems like a neurodivergent person, which explains her abnormal levels of intelligence everyone kinda glosses over or ignores & just always knowing or seeing things others don't.
She's also a truly kind hearted empathetic compassionate person though she's been bullied a lot & suffered in life/seen death.
@@villekuronen6242 the apple plopped straight down?
Interesting little detail about why Hermione is suddenly bad at potions, which also feeds into how you could've figured out it was Snape:
Snape always puts his potion recipes on the blackboard, while Slughorn goes strictly by the book.
Snapes method means his improvements are already incorporated in it.
I like that idea actually, from a going out into the real world perspective. All the kids knowing the improved and better recipies and learning later that there is a "proper" way that just isnt as good. Even just simple small things im sure would be useful day to day. I wonder if Snape ever included like... idk a cheaper way too, like oh yes you could use this and the book says but this is less expensive and actually works better if done this way. Actually legit awesome.
This actually makes you realize just how GOOD Severus was at potions, and how much he inadvertently helped Harry in his sixth year.
It's part of why that betrayal hurt so much.
Honestly, Snape is way to good of a potionbrewer to be a teacher at some school where everybody hates him. He should have his own potions imperium.
@G S I wrote another comment about this, in a roundabout way.
It's Dumbledores fault.
@@videohistory722 I mean... Snape did join the murderous death cult and was directly responsible for some of the murders. It's clear from later book that Dumbledore is punishing him for that. He could just let him go but he forced him to make a trade.
15:30 this scene was and forever will be one of my favourite scenes cause Harry talks to him as if he is a child
It's so effortlessly funny
Ok so basically in the 6:10 when luna sees the Nargles in Harrys head and saves him essentially, this part wasn't in the books. It was Tonks who actually finds harry, which is why people still think she is wacky.
I adore Luna! She can be a little wacky, but she's the kindest and most empathetic character. I love all her interactions with Harry in the movies because she always seems to make him feel better.
@𝚄𝚗𝚎𝚟𝚎𝚗𝙼𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚒𝚎 true. On the other, the correct dosage of mushrooms, can make you smarter.
Oh trust me, Alex, Ron's "personality" in the films compared to the books is a whole thing for fans. Not least because a lot of the good things he does are given to Hermione, because the guy who made the films just really liked Hermione. But doing it really devalued Ron's character.
The guys* every movie have a diferent director, thats why they have diferent styles. Even there is a thing with the music pieces.
right, an important part of Ron's character is being the only pureblood within the group; and therefore knowing things the others didn't. he explained why being a parselmouth was bad, why the term 'mudblood' was offensive and generally just had a better understanding of the wizarding world, having grown up in it. but in the movies, he's just made out to be the silly best friend, and Hermione's the one who gets half his lines.
He knows it he mentioned it in one of his videos about Harry Potter
@@devilinred3319 yeah but all movies except the order of phoenix had the same screenwriter Steve cloves who loved Hermione so much.
can we just stop for a minute and take some time to appreciate luna? she's awesome. i want a daughter like that.
Then raise a daughter like that.
6:40 that guitar riff kills me everytime XD
The thing that always stuck out to me at 14:21 is that in the books, Malfoy was about to use -the killing curse- Crucio on Harry (literally, Malfoy was in the middle of casting it), and Harry used Sectumsempra in self-defense, not even knowing what it did. In the movie, he also doesn’t know what it does, but that possibly makes it worse that he would use a spell like that when he wasn’t in any major danger.
Harry's a reactive fighter, not a proactive fighter. When Snape whirls around on him in a DADA lesson, he reacts instinctively there too. His only thought is "protect myself" not the consequences of what would happen after the fact. In the books, he was mortified and tried to help Malfoy, before being shooed away by Snape. In the movie he just kinda stood there. hate it.
But the movies had already made it a conscious decision that Harry killed Quirellmort in first year, so it's not that surprising.
Wasn't it Crucio?
@@gonzaloc4711 He uses that in book 5 on Bellatrix after Sirius falls in the veil, but it's weak.
@@gonzaloc4711 Oh, you’re right, it was Crucio.
Ya know? After all of these movies, I'm not the least bit shocked Voldemort basically said "Screw this. I'm going to become a chef, and open my own restaurant! Come by! I can make a mean cheeseburger!"
Edit: Wow! Thank you for all the likes, everyone! ^_^
thanks to you i've just realised that voldemort and that chef is the same person
And he only did like half of them
Or a concierge for a fond of old blonde women
Only to ironically go crazier
there is one character of Ralph Fiennes I was genuinly terrified of while watching and this character still got his nose
dumbledores death was crazy, my heart was racing so fast and i was glued to the tv. I never read the books so this moment was absolutely INSANE...
17:51 He was called the half-blood prince though not only because he's a supreme edgelord, but also because he's half-muggle-blooded and his mother's maiden name was Prince. So even though it's literally never addressed in the movie, it's soooooorta got an explanation in the book.
I’ve always loved how Dumbledore got a hold of knitting patterns but we never saw him indulging in a bit of knitting.
Edit: I was not expecting the likes so thank you! Also, love the conversation in the replies.
Grindset
Because we've seen him Dumbledoring the rest of the time.
Preach, we never saw him during his down time, they could have fit some knitting into a scene at some point.
Professional artist here; thanks for the idea. We all NEED this on our lives
The Weasleys use enchanted knitting needles, I wonder if Dumbledore does too or does it by hand? 🧐
Hermione: "She's only in to you because she thinks you're interesting."
Harry: "But I am interesting."
Hermione: *WHACK*
that's basically the opposite of what happened but alright bro
@@beretta4775 No it’s not
Chosen one*
she said she was I to have because she thought she was the chooses one. and he answers but I am the choosen one
“interesting” - about personality, it’s ok to be liked because of it.
“the chosen one” - smth about the prophesy said so, nothing to do with personality.
you’ve changed the word and the meaning
There's a spell that protects Harry from the Death Eaters as long as he's living with his aunt and uncle, which is why they never bother him during summer break, and why Harry has to live with his aunt and uncle at all. It's one of those things that's explained more in the books.
15:14
Yeah this whole liquid luck thing is the funniest thing in all the movies😂
Its hilarious 😂
Fun fact: This movie was made with the intention of it being a comedy, when it was meant to be the darkest story in the entire series. One does not easily turn a thriller book into a comedy movie, but David Yates manages to both botch and succeed in that regard.
I feel like "manages to both botch and succeed" is the best way to describe ALL the Harry Potter movies.
@@dabbyleemiller now, now, he didn't touch the first 2
Yeah the book is super dark and the movie is like a teen comedy mixed with thriller. I guess they figured they had to lighten it up a bit for kids.
@@dabbyleemiller the 4th movie is just botched
@@S0NAL_ HARRY, DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE!?!
Yeah...people really slept on Luna. If it wasn't for her, Harry would not have found the diadem. She was in Ravenclaw for a reason! She was "weird" because she saw and heard things in the magical world others could not. Im a little upset that Rowling never really touched on that a bit more because there were plenty of characters who seemed to possess other abilities outside of just being witches or wizards. Seamus and his affinity for always setting this on fire by accident being an honorable mention.
6:31 “turn around you lunatic”
How did these two get together again?
Reading the books will give a much better answer than the movies.
4:00 uhh... Dumbledore is ACTUALLY 150. It wasn't a joke.
8:12 Actually in the book they say that a tiny vial takes like 3-6 months to make. Even if they had 15 people who are as knowledgeable as Slughorn (which there aren't), they could make like 60 vials in the two years since Sedrick died.every vial is 6 hours of luck, so a total of 360 hours, which is barely enough for everyone in the order of the Phoenix to have like 3 hours, and they also say that if one person takes too much they get complacent and erratic. Not something you want during a war...
And I don't think it's on Voldy Morty's character to rely on Luck when he is already high on 'I'm Speshul' juice
Its literally a potion who can change the course of events on your favor, Ginnie, Hermione and Ron literally used it to make them basically inalcanzable by enemy spells during the battle of hogwarts, that shit is OP.
IIRC, there was some suggestion on Pottermore that the potion was actually more of a placebo type thing, and any effect it did have was just boosting a person's confidence.
Takes only about 1 minute in Hogwarts Legacy
@@AuntieL_ATL because that's a game...
12:34 Not only is it messed up, but it's also why Voldemort is the way that he is. His mother used a love potion on a muggle.
Harry and Ginny in the movie was one of the most awkward and disastrous pairings I’ve ever seen. Anytime their relationship was the focus my face looked like a raisin. I LOVED the book, but the movie was a disaster for how they handled it
They had no chemistry whatsoever.
Cho Chang in the books was only interested in Harry because of his connection to her dead ex and was using Harry as a trauma cope rebound. It's at once decently written and tedious since it encompasses messy teen drama.
She's not around after movie 5 because there's near nothing more to take from the books.
As someone who read the books as a kid, watched the movies as s young adult, and pretty much moved past the story as an adult, I LIVE for these recaps. 😂
As someone who only interacted with Harry Potter by playing the old pc game as a kid, I live for these recaps just so I can kinda understand the references
yeah i only watch these now and again on days i have migraines or i'm super tired and need something mind-numbing in the background, love the series still but it has its flaws
A funny thing about this moviee/book is how Harry is suddenly amazingly good at potions when he's been pretty average all the other years. And he does this by following the instructions of the half blood prince, who we find out is Snape. But like, Snape already taught Harry using his own improved instructions for five years and Harry was never able to make a perfect potion before?
I always thought that was because of how poorly Snape treated Harry. It's hard to be invested in a class where the teacher actively bullies you. But with the Half Blood Prince book, it's just Snape's good teachings, so Harry is actually receptive this time.
@@aamay7525 Exactly. Snape is brilliant at Potions (both the theoretical magic side and the practical brewing/alchemy side) and at Defense against the Dark Arts and at dueling. But he's honestly crap at being a teacher. If Harry had been told beforehand that the textbook had belonged to younger Severus Snape, Harry would've subconsciously rejected learning from it, too. Because Harry is also a dumbass who never tried to see things from Snape's perspective or stopped to wonder why Snape was acting like this; although Harry at least has the excuse of being a teenager at the time.
Well reading the potions book unknowing vs being around snape. The motivation is pretty different. It's like having an awful parent that likes something and u naturally grow up disliking it until ur older and u realize u only dislike it coz they liked it.
I think it's reasonable to assume that Snape had to follow the assigned curriculum and wasn't allowed to deviate from it too much.
I assume snape didn't teach the students his improved reasons, maybe cause of pride, secrecy or cause he had to follow the school curriculum and couldn't be bothered to change it. Because if he did teach them from the start using these methods, almost every smart student would've been at another level in potion making
That bit about the first night of the cycle took me out 😂😂😂😂
Also snape named himself the half blood prince bc prince is his moms last name & he’s a half blood
Same😂😂😂
12:24 Voldemort is actually the product of a love potion because his witch mother used them to manipulate his muggle father
half blood prince was my favourite book because we got soo much backstory on voldi as a kid and then the movie comes out and ruins it all
with the stupid love story plot trying to rival the twilight films
to the point where in the last movies my family (who hadn't read the books) thought Snape was Harry's real dad
What killed me was how they focused on romance and completely left out the toxic relationship that led to Boldemort’s birth.
15:40
he is friendly teasing slughorn by imitating his posture and voice because the potion makes him feel like in a good mood
"i demand carbs" i have to say you got the blanket placement and vibe of the situation absolutely perfect
10:42 Harry grew up to become Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs.
Fun Fact: When Hero Fiennes Tiffan auditioned for young Voldemort, the casting director didn't know that he was Ralph's nephew, and simply cast him based on the strength of his audition.
With this, after, and the woman king, he plays mean so well 😆
Just how bad were the other kids then?
Ehh? But I remember reading that he was cast specifically bcz of his uncle, since he resembles a lot with him
Nah, thats bull. Like the story of Angelina Jolenes daighter having to play a lead part because the other childrem were too scared of Malificant? Its just nepobabies
As someone that has seen clips of him in After, I'm more than a little skeptical of that story
19:00 so glad he thew in the "But I am the chosen one" twice. XD
Best line in the whole film series.
I love that he acknowledges the humor in this one. Thats why its my favorite,, a lot of awkward and silly moments.
2:23
i always love that Dumbledore beard
My favourite quote of the movie is
"You dare use my own spell against me pottah".
Mee too
The love story parts of Harry Potter are always so…. Different😭💀
I liked when they were kids getting into trouble.
Tbh the fact that they were all so cringe was what made them entertaining. I know I had some cringe moments as a teenager.
This is my favorite movie in the series. I love the mix between the comedy and everything that’s serious. I mean you have the inferni fight, the bathroom brawl, and dumbledore dying and yet nothing really feels hopeless. The felix felicis section is also probably my favorite of all the movies, loved it!
Have you read the books yet? You would really like them. They are actually all full of humor. Harry in the books it’s pretty hilarious most of the time. Super sarcastic
I had the hugest crush on Ron growing up! Enjoyed him in the books and loved him more in the movies. I remember being jealous and sad whenever Hermione was sad and heartbroken over him omgggggg lol. Glad you mentioned this. 13:08
14:58 GRANDMA GET OUT THE WAY IM TRYNA WATCH THE MOVIE
7:33
"Unintelligible Scottish jibber-jabber"
"Oh Shrek, you always know just want to say
I laughed way too hard at this
When Harry is under the liquid luck potion, it is one of the funniest parts of the movies.
Love the fact that the luck potion pretty much just makes Harry high, finally the name POTter started making sense
Yeah, I had that thought too, that he was just high. He seemed pretty amused with Hagrid and Slughorn having a drink and singing.
Harry on drugs - I mean on Felix Felicis of course - is the funniest shit I've ever seen. By far my favourite part in HBP because it's so extra and over the top. I bet Daniel had a blast acting that out.
17:37 bazilion points from grrrrifyndor
Aaannd... here we go!
In the books Luna is portrayed as being crazy because she is wrong about most of the stuff. In the 7th book, in an important moment it's shown further that Luna's household in general is... not really all there. It's just another case of the movie butchering the source material, and they did it a lot ever since the 3rd one, getting worse and worse. The scene at Luna's house that I mentioned earlier was changed completely, and Hermione in the book typically dismantled whatever bs Luna and her father were spouting, culminating in the horn that Hermione correctly identified as being something way more dangerous than what Luna's father thought, and for Hermione to use it to escape from the Death Eaters by making it explode and destroying the entire house.
I hate the movies so much...
Also forgot to mention how they ignored like 80% of the lessons with Dumbledore, which had important stories about the possible horcrux and Voldemort's birth being the result of his mother raping his father, and that's not even acknowledged...
The story of the Riddle family, his mother's deplorable life, her forcing Tom to love her, the later murders were few of the greatest backstories that they ruined.
Sucks that JKR won’t let anyone make anything new with the story. HP as an HBO series would be amazing
@@Ms.Cicatrix I've always said that. Every chapter could be a episode
@@jaquanpowell4605 That would work so well! That's exactly what PJO is attempting to do and I hope it works. It would be a shame if good stories had their core plots ripped away due to time constraints
As much as I love the movies, they really should have included all the Riddle memories.
16:29 (referencing the note) funnily enough, that's sort of what Voldemort did. He hid the diary with Lucius, and another is connected to the Bellatrix family vault. Plus Nagini is with him pretty much all the time, so she is an Elite 4 on her own
And he left the locket with Regulus Black, who turned on him. His mom's ring (never sure where Dumbeldore got that). Harry, of course and I forgot the last one.
@@AuntieL_ATLhe didn't leave the locket with regulus, he left it in the cave guarded. The ring was buried in the remains of the gaunt House I think? Or the riddle House. He was arrogant and thought his diadem would be well hidden in the room of requirement because he assumed other students wouldn't know about it. Interestingly, two of these hiding places are revealed by his dismissal of house elves as dobby told Harry about the room of requirement and kreacher told regulus about the cave.
@@abiw9999 the ring was in the Gaunt shack
15:33 "SIRR..."
3:14 I think the idea behind this is slughorn purposely made the house look wrecked (with magic) so the death eaters thought there was already a struggle here.
Dumbledore just un did slughorns spell or something
Never understood why Hemione prevents Ron from eating just because Harry is missing? Shall all of his friends starve to death just because he isn't there?
bc shes anxious anout harry gone MISSING so she feels nauseous. maybe some people eat thier anxiety away
She was possesed by the collective will beyond the 4th wall that wishes for Ron to do ANYTHING ELSE besides eating
I think she just kind of peeved that none of them know where Harry is after they saw him doing some shady shit and Ron still eating indicates he doesn't care
i like all 3 of these replies
@@teleportingpotatoe I do
9:04 i had the same reaction as you after I found out it was hardin from after movies 🤣
Sectum sempra is my favorite spell simply because of Snape going “You dare use my own spells against me, Potter?”
It's so painful to inflict on someone else, though
Alex comparing Ron's personality to the plank from ed, edd and eddy was criminally underrated
Cho chang's friend who she brought to the Dumbledore army meeting in the room of requirement is the one who told umbridge about the meetings. Cho was there with her and umbridge when umbridge crashed the meeting.
Harry likely doesn't like cho anymore after this happens. It got a lot of kids in serious trouble with Umbridge who was torturing the students.
Cho's friend didn't even want to be there in the first place.
11:23 - I can’t this actually killed me 😂
🤣🤣
I'm so glad I found this video today. I've just had such a bad day. I've been crying for like an hour straight with very small breaks. I just need a video from one of my favourite youtubers. Thamk you :)
When Harry drank the liquid luck I was just dying. The way he’s just like “SIHR” in like a mocking and goofy way to Professor Slughorn 😭 15:24
The Half Blood Prince sure was something else. Thanks as always, Alex. Keep up the good work.
The freaking Walmart bag as the invisibility cloak. That's freaking awesome! I could not stop laughing
Ravenclaws are also quirky, creative, and very accepting, along with being intelligent. Luna is basically a textbook Ravenclaw.
i just started watching your videos and everytime i see the drawing of you sitting in the recliner watching the film, i’m always expecting a glance back at the camera like “you seeing what i’m seeing?” i would love to see it happen at least once haha
11:40 I literally forgot that person was in this movie.
This book is one of my favorites of the series, just because it really is a nice break before the endgame and it also lets Ginny as a character shine when she's been in the background for so long. Yes, it's a lot of teen awkwardness, but they deserve to be teens for a little bit! It's like enjoying the wedding in the next book before everything goes down - you need the levity before the angst and tragedy. Plus, it has some really nice lore sprinkled throughout that all pays off in the last book.
This movie is uh. Fine. When I wanted teen awkwardness, I didn't mean like this. It's almost impressive how the romance scenes with Harry in the last three movies have gotten progressively more cringey with each iteration - and I know it's likely just direction, since the actors are usually decent in every other scene. It just feels like they didn't know how to translate the fun banter from book to screen? (They could have just used the actual lines from the books, but I digress.) But the thing it did get right was that last scene with Dumbledore. Even when I knew what was coming, it absolutely got me when I first watched it and I was not prepared for the feelings.
