I will forever love the moment when Snape puts himself in front of the kids to protect them against Lupin in his werewolf form. It lowkey shows you what kind of person he is. He doesn't think twice of it, he just immediately steps in and does what he feels is right.
@@joshandcasey that´s because chocolate triggers our brains to release a small dose of endorphins - happiness hormones - as well as the brains `reward-system-area´. According to the described nature of the dementors this replenishes what they sucked out of a human beings soul. So chocolate works like kind of an antidote 🍫🤕
@@joshandcasey Chocolate may interact with some neurotransmitter systems such as dopamine (chocolate contains the dopamine precursor tyrosine), serotonin and endorphins (contained in cocoa and chocolate) that contribute to appetite, reward and mood regulation.
It's a bit sad when we watch the teacher's table at the beginning, and consider how few of them that are still alive.. But of course, the movies weren't made yesterday.
Have you guessed who the creators of the map were?Mooney(Remus Lupin,the werewolf)Wormtail (Peter Pettigrew,the rat)Padfoot(Surius Black,the huge wolfhound)and Prongs(James Potter,because his patronus was a Stag)
Animagus (plural animagi; singular is with a 'G' as in 'Gus', not 'G' as in 'magic; plural form is the other way around.') To become an animagus is a long, hard, disciplined endeavor. Not all succeed, you will only have one animagus form, and you can't choose what animal that is; the form you take matches your character, your innate nature. Sirius became a dog, from which he was given by the others the nickname 'Padfoot'. James became a stag, which happened to match his Patronus of a stag; his nickname became 'Prongs', for the antlers. Peter Pettigrew became a rat, earning him the nickname 'Wormtail'. The three of them became animagi to keep Lupin company during full moons and to steer him away from students during that time (animals can't catch lycanthropy). McGonagall, whose animagus form is a cat, taught them. Remus's father tried to report and have arrested a werewolf who took especial delight in infecting young children with lycanthropy. the senior Lupin was unsuccessful, and the werewolf repaid him by infecting his son, Remus, an innocent. Werewolves are required to register with the Ministry of Magic, but to be a known werewolf is to suffer prejudice. Remus's father kept it secret, to hopefully give Remus a chance in life. Dumbledore also took on responsibility for this, setting an outbuilding on the Hogwarts campus as off-limits (so Remus had somewhere to go when he transformed, keeping his secret and the students and staff safe). Bad enough that the boy suffered this terrible condition; Dumbledore saw no reason to let it destroy his life any more than it had to. Dumbledore also had a tunnel put in between a little-used exit from Hogwarts Castle to the outbuilding, then planted the Whomping Willow at the tunnel opening to keep out the curious. Screams were noticed issuing at times from the outbuilding, which students and visitors (and most staff) took to be terrifying ghosts, so the legend of the Shrieking Shack kept away everyone; they didn't know the shrieks were from Remus Lupin. Animagi are also supposed to register with the Ministry of Magic, but it might have attracted questions if they did, so this was also kept secret. And to make certain everyone at Hogwarts stayed safe, the four boys created the Marauders Map, so they could avoid people and steer Lupin away from oncoming people; their nicknames are on the Map. When Lupin arrived to teach at Hogwarts, Dumbledore had Snape develop a potion to minimize his transformations. Snape was delivering the night's dosage to Lupin when he found the escapee Sirius Black at the Shrieking Shack. My speculation is that Snape taught the students how to identify a werewolf and be aware of the danger in order to keep them safe. Final plot point: Sirius had a visitor at Azkaban who was carrying a copy of the Daily Prophet newspaper, the same issue that had a lead story on the Weasleys' trip to Egypt. Sirius saw the photo and recognized the rat and was so filled with rage (he was 12 years under daily attack by Dementors for a murder he could not prove he was innocent of committing, only to find the murder 'victim' was alive) that he had the strength to transform into his animagus form. Dementors ignore animals, so Sirius was able to escape as in his dog form. The fact that Sirius was an unregistered animagus meant no extra care was used to restrain him at Azkaban Prison, so it was easy for him to elude the Dementors. ______________________ There's a really good reason Trelawney was hired, but I can't tell you until later. ______________________ Professor Trelawney's first name is Sybil. A 'sybil' is a soothsayer (truth teller) who, like the ancient Greek sybils at Delphi, would enter a trance and tell people their future. ______________________ Hermione and Harry don't go back in time and change ANYTHING; they initiate a time loop and fulfill the conditions necessary to reach the same conclusion of events as previously seen/experienced. Nothing is 'changed'. The time loop was ALWAYS in place.
The only thing I think you got wrong, is that McGonagall taught James, Sirius and Peter how to become animagi. They taught themselves, that's why no one knew they were animagi in the first place :) 🙏🏾
Where i think fans of the book are sad about this movie is it left out a huge plot line that continues through the books. The marauder's map was written by lupin, sirius, james, and Peter. Sirius, James and Peter found out that lupin was a werewolf and they taught themselves to become animagus/people that can turn into animals like Professor mcGongall. Werewolves don't usually attack animals-that way they could keep lupin company when he transformed in the shrieking shack every month. It rounds out the plot overall a lot. That being said, i still love this movie. This is when the series takes off.
The Dementors suck all the happiness out Of you and chocolate releases endorphines that make you happy, therefore it helps replacing the good feelings the dementors stripped you of. Actually a brilliant remedy and a stroke of Genius Of Rowling to think about that. The books explain it quite clearly.
@@joshandcasey Yes, but in this case the chocolate is actually medicinal; it acts as a restorative of what the Dementors have forcibly absorbed out of you.
Well said. Also, most students have a birthday during the school year. The trio begin the school year the same age in years, but Hermione is oldest, with a birthday in September (the same month that school begins), Ron's birthday is in March, and Harry's birthday is during summer break (July 31st).
Hogwarts is actually Alnwick castle in Scotland and it was filmed in part there. The train route including the bridge can be traveled except during the worst of winter. Christchurch college is actually where the dining hall scenes were filmed. I'm formerly from the UK. Been there, done that. New subscriber here.
Prizoner of Azkaban is for sure hands down my favorite book out of the Harry Potter franchise, but the movie isn´t my fave, because so much is missing. But I still love watching all the movies
The dementors are Rowling's representation of depression. Dumbledore doesn't like the dementors and didn't want them at Hogwarts but the Ministry overruled him. The most Dumbledore could do was restrict them from coming onto the grounds of Hogwarts. That's why he was so angry when they invaded the Quidditch match. Wizards are a bit harder to seriously injure than muggles. Neville's great-uncle dropped him out of an upstairs window and Neville bounced down the lawn instead of being hurt. Harry is 13. Whatever number the movie is put a 1 in front of it and that's Harry's age. The movie overexaggerated the storm during the Quidditch match. It was raining hard but there was no lightning, etc. They also remained inside the boundaries of the Quidditch field.
The fat lady was hiding behind a pygmy hippo (far more tame). The scenery is Loch Shield in Scotland, along with the railway viaduct. You'll not see Hogwarts (if you're a muggle) but look for Alnwick castle near Newcastle where many exterior scenes are filmed.
Dumbledore hired Trelawney (the crystal lady lol) because while she might be a fraud, she is still a Seer. She made a very valuable prophecy about Voldemort to Dumbledore, a long time ago. He hired her instantly. You saw her make another prophecy in here, in that totally-not-terrifying scene haha
This is the film where puberty arrives for Harry AND for Hermione; you see evidence in their moodiness, lack of patience, and quickness to anger. Also, they don't suffer authority or injustice well. And Hermione unconsciously keeps reaching for Ron, betraying her attraction to him. Ron doesn't enter puberty until the next film, but the fact that Ron is the only person to notice when Hermione suddenly is present says she is important to him, even if he's clueless about his own interest in her. ________________________ You can just tell, from what happens to 'Large Marge', that Harry considers her full of hot air, and his hormone-driven magic makes her quite literally full of hot air, floating off like a balloon. ________________________ Don't be fooled by the humanoid appearance of the dementors; they are feral creatures of subhuman intelligence. They are 'employed' as 'guards' of Azkaban the same way dogs are employed as security for junk yards and can be just as vicious. Basically, Azkaban is a bed-&-breakfast for Dementors, who only have to restrict their feeding to the inmates, saving the Dementors of having to hunt prey. Apart from the genius someone mentioned of how JK Rowling created a creature to personify the experience of severe depression, the idea of using the debilitating effects of Dementor-induced depression to make it impossible for Azkaban prisoners to escape is just as much genius. How else to hold people who would otherwise use their magic-channeling to break chains and open barred doors and just fly to freedom. Being weakened and broken by despair and lethargy stops magic from flowing. If you can't focus, you can't direct magic to do anything. ________________________ Movie Trivia: The Fat Lady is played by comedian Dawn French, star of BBC sitcom "The Vicar of Dibley". She was married for a time to the actor who voiced the Knight Bus's Shrunken Head, comedian Lenny Henry, star of BBC sitcom "Chef!". There is no 'meaning' in the apple Draco is eating; Tom Felton, who portrays Draco, was constantly snacking on set, hiding food in his robes. Much as the director and others tried to stop him, it was difficult to divest him of his treats. ________________________ No, 'hippogriff' is not a bit of JK Rowlings wordplay. It was a creature invented by Ludovico Ariosto in his 1516 epic Orlando Furioso (from 'hippo' = horse and 'griff' = griffon/eagle). Most of the magical bestiary and herbology plants are drawn from actual real-life history. Dragons blood is real (it's a plant resin), mandrakes are real, and history records trolls, elves, goblins, boggarts, giants, basilisks, unicorns, dragons, and centaurs that the ancients once thought were real. Hippogriffs were a regular subject of 19th century art, including works by Gustave Doré. ________________________ While there is a limit to what magic can do, there are certain benefits to using it, if you are born with the ability. Wizard vs Muggle Biology: A number of viewers are aghast at the seeming physical danger for children at Hogwarts. What they aren't aware of is the enhancement using magic contributes to wizard/witch bodies once they begin to utilize their magical abilities. The difference between muggles and wizards/witches is the inherited ability to perceive and channel the vital energy commonly referred to as 'magic'. There's such power in that energy that physical benefits are produced in those with that channeling ability: -Resilience: Wizard/witch bodies can withstand far greater physical trauma than muggles can while suffering less ongoing damage. Bones and organs require greater force to injure, and healing is very quick and doesn't leave scars. Longbottom's broken wrist mends in a short time. So, injuries at Hogwarts are just a temporary nuisance. In addition, physical strength and reflexes are enhanced. There's a reason Harry didn't fall to his death from the flying car; exceptional gripping strength. -Resistance: Wizards/witches are prone to far fewer pathogens than muggles. That said, there are a few wizard/witch specific germs that are of concern or even fatal. The Wizarding World continues to develop charms and potions to fight these pathogens. -Longevity: Muggles have an average lifespan of about 75 years; the average lifespan of a wizard/witch is twice that, about 150 years. -Magic-Based Injuries: Ordinary physical trauma may be largely blunted by the channeling of magic energy, but injuries CAUSED by magic is permanent and can be brutal or fatal. Such injuries don't heal well and scarring or body part loss often results. (Note Harry's forehead scar; he survived a Death Curse but still bears a scar from the event. Anytime you see a character with scars or physical damage, it's the result of magic-caused injury.) -Cultural Attitudes About Risk: Because ordinary risky actions have such limited impact, there is a cultural cachet in engaging in risky behavior and/or dangerous activities and vocations. Likely the need to be extremely aware, on your toes, and in possession of a great many details also adds to a desire to put one's wits to the test, to prove oneself. Still, magic is unpredictable; it requires you maintain awareness to minimize bad results. ________________________ Another genius idea, whether Professor Lupin's or JK Rowlings's, to use a safe creature like a boggart to teach children to face their fears. Boggarts appear to people as the image of the person's worst fear (as English folklore describes), but it's basically a magical version of protective mimicry, the way moths defend themselves by mimicking the eyes and face of an owl in their wing coloration, to scare away predatory birds. Moths are no more dangerous to birds than boggarts are to people and in fact may not even be shapeshifters. If boggarts can psychically read your fears, why wouldn't they also be able to project to you the image of your fear? Meanwhile, students are safely confronted with their fears and learn to emotionally shift gears to handle the threat. Reimagining the threat as something really silly is not far from imagining your audience in their undergarments when you're afraid of public speaking. ________________________ There is 'wordplay' of a sort in the Harry Potter universe; it's the character names. If you do a deep dive into the derivation of the names, it tells you a lot about their natures and presages where their situation will develop. Sirius Black: 'Sirius' is the name of the prominent star in the constellation Canis Major, the Great Dog. In fact, Sirius is known as the Dog Star. And Sirius Black's animagus form is that of a black dog. Dogs are loyal, protective, self-sacrificial, and prefer packs rather than being solitary. And Sirius Black was very faithful to James and Lily Potter and their son Harry. Remus Lupin: 'Lupin' is Latin for wolf. In Roman legend, Remus and his twin brother Romulus were raised by a she-wolf when they were lost as infants in the wilderness. His nickname with James, Sirius, and Peter was 'Moony'. Sisters Lily and Petunia have floral names. If you look up these flowers in Victorian Flower Language (an actual social convention in the late 1800s), 'lily' means 'pure/loving' and 'petunia' means 'anger/resentment'. Spot-on description of them. Filch's first name is Argus, McGonagall's first name is Minerva, and 'Hermione' is the feminine of 'Hermes'. Look up the associations in Greek mythology and you'll learn a lot about these characters. ________________________ Dawn French (the Fat Lady) did a live stage performance some time ago where she relates the story of filming her for Harry Potter with the ADULT MALE pigmy hippo. The pigmy hippo was in heat, so she was told to be aware of any 'amorous' actions that could be dangerous for her. Luckily, nothing happened.
@@Shan_Dalamani That's the fictional explanation for her being named 'Hermione', the reason given in the story. But her name was assigned by JK Rowling, who did not randomly assign names. Hermione is the feminine of 'Hermes', who was a very powerful god in the ancient Greek Olympian pantheon. Hermes was the messenger of the gods; he knew all the 'tea'. And (at least in the films) Hermione is the character who most furnished exposition (new info and its significance), serving as the author's messenger. Hermes was the god of magic, at which Hermione is the most adept. He was later merged with the Egyptian god Thoth, who was the Egyptian pantheon's scribe, which is mirrored in Hermione's love of writings. As the Hermes-Thoth blend, he was known as Hermes Trismegistus, the 'Thrice-blessed', mighty in knowledge, magic, and philosophy. This is an indication of the hidden greatness in Hermione. Hermes is credited with inventing language, writing, and the alphabet. His main symbol is the caduceus, still used today to symbolize the medical profession; Hermione had a good grasp of wizard first aid. Another symbol is the satchel or pouch, which brings to mind Hermione's purse with the Undetectable Extension charm; no other character is shown (at least in the films) with a purse or pouch, and Hermione's purse had the form of a pouch. Another attribute of Hermes is travel, symbolized by the winged shoes. Hermione, during the 7th film, seemed to be well-traveled with a real knowledge of UK terrain, apparating Harry and Ron to a lot of places they'd never seen. Hermes is also known for his cleverness and is considered a patron of cunning and strategic thinking; Hermione is several times spotlighted for her talent in this very area. Hermes is the archetype that refers to the ability to communicate, moving between different levels of experience both material and mental, seizing opportunities, and connecting a number of different aspects. Hermione paraphrases this very concept about herself in the tent just before Ron freaks out and abandons his friends. Hermes is also credited for personal charm, and it's always Hermione who is the diplomat, calming difficult conversations; I think of Harry and Aberforth arguing and Hermione interceding to infuse respect into the interchange. Hermes is adaptable and resourceful and can navigate life's challenges and opportunities. That's the very idea behind Ron's statement to Harry as he tries to sneak off after the Battle of the Seven Harrys, when Ron tells Harry, "We wouldn't last two days without her!" I could go on, but I'm sure I've already carried on too much. My point is that the AUTHOR chose or invented names that held dominant significance for the character of her creations.
@@chris...9497 Yes, you carried on FAR too much. I'm aware of the process by which authors name their characters. I've had issues with that in my own writing. And it wasn't a fanfiction author who decided on the in-universe explanation for Hermione's name.
You put so much effort into the videos. Keep it up! Top quality! Try to add more hashtags on your videos, maybe they will make the videos pop up more. Definitely worth a like and a sub.
If you listen carefully their is ticking sound like a clock. fantastic movie. Some once said that if you would take this movie out of the HP series; it would stand on its own.
A it possible to lengthen the scene a little bit so we can see more of the actual scene along with you guys? It’s cuts so quick and often that I feel like we miss some good reaction parts with y’all! Love the videos though
Sorry we have had issues especially with Harry Potter on demonetization, even this one got demonetized with our conservative cuts. Full thing is available on our Patreon though!
@@joshandcasey actually their wands have a trace on them so they can see if they use magic outside school, therefore it was bad for the movie to include thst scene. In the book Harry actually writes on an summer essay without using spells. Although might be mor fun to the audience with a spell contra him just writing an essay.
That is not correct. It's never explained how the trace works but we know that it can't be their wands because the ministry can't actually know who performed the magic AND they know when wandless magic is performed. It's more like they just know when magic occurs. For example, Harry got a warning letter about doing magic after Dobby did the hover charm on the cake.@@lucaslindgren2258

The difference between muggles and wizards/witches is the inherited ability to perceive and channel the vital energy commonly referred to as 'magic'. There's such power in that energy that physical benefits are produced in those with that channeling ability:
-Resilience: Wizard/witch bodies can withstand far greater physical trauma than muggles can while suffering less ongoing damage. Bones and organs require greater force to injure, and healing is very quick and doesn't leave scars. Longbottom's broken wrist mends in a short time. So, injuries at Hogwarts are just a temporary nuisance. In addition, physical strength and reflexes are enhanced. There's a reason Harry didn't fall to his death from the flying car; exceptional gripping strength.
-Resistance: Wizards/witches are prone to far fewer pathogens than muggles. That said, there are a few wizard/witch specific germs that are of concern or even fatal. The Wizarding World continues to develop charms and potions to fight these pathogens.
-Longevity: Muggles have an average lifespan of about 75 years; the average lifespan of a wizard/witch is twice that, about 150 years.
-Magic-Based Injuries: Ordinary physical trauma may be largely blunted by the channeling of magic energy, but injuries CAUSED by magic is permanent and can be brutal or fatal. Such injuries don't heal well and scarring or body part loss often results. (Note Harry's forehead scar; he survived a Death Curse but still bears a scar from the event. Anytime you see a character with scars or physical damage, it's the result of magic-caused injury.)
-Cultural Attitudes About Risk: Because ordinary risky actions have such limited impact, there is a cultural cachet in engaging in risky behavior and/or dangerous activities and vocations. Likely the need to be extremely aware, on your toes, and in possession of a great many details also adds to a desire to put one's wits to the test, to prove oneself. Still, magic is unpredictable; it requires you maintain awareness to minimize bad results.

Another genius idea, whether Professor Lupin's or JK Rowlings's, to use a safe creature like a boggart to teach children to face their fears.
Boggarts appear to people as the image of the person's worst fear (as English folklore describes), but it's basically a magical version of protective mimicry, the way moths defend themselves by mimicking the eyes and face of an owl in their wing coloration, to scare away predatory birds. Moths are no more dangerous to birds than boggarts are to people and in fact may not even be shapeshifters. If boggarts can psychically read your fears, why wouldn't they also be able to project to you the image of your fear?
Meanwhile, students are safely confronted with their fears and learn to emotionally shift gears to handle the threat. Reimagining the threat as something really silly is not far from imagining your audience in their undergarments when you're afraid of public speaking.

There is 'wordplay' of a sort in the Harry Potter universe; it's the character names.
If you do a deep dive into the derivation of the names, it tells you a lot about their natures and presages where their situation will develop.
Sirius Black: 'Sirius' is the name of the prominent star in the constellation Canis Major, the Great Dog. In fact, Sirius is known as the Dog Star. And Sirius Black's animagus form is that of a black dog. Dogs are loyal, protective, self-sacrificial, and prefer packs rather than being solitary. And Sirius Black was very faithful to James and Lily Potter and their son Harry.
Remus Lupin: 'Lupin' is Latin for wolf. In Roman legend, Remus and his twin brother Romulus were raised by a she-wolf when they were lost as infants in the wilderness. His nickname with James, Sirius, and Peter was 'Moony'.
Sisters Lily and Petunia have floral names. If you look up these flowers in Victorian Flower Language (an actual social convention in the late 1800s), 'lily' means 'pure/loving' and 'petunia' means 'anger/resentment'. Spot-on description of them.
Filch's first name is Argus, McGonagall's first name is Minerva, and 'Hermione' is the feminine of 'Hermes'. Look up the associations in Greek mythology and you'll learn a lot about these characters.

Dawn French (the Fat Lady) did a live stage performance some time ago where she relates the story of filming her for Harry Potter with the ADULT MALE pigmy hippo. The pigmy hippo was in heat, so she was told to be aware of any 'amorous' actions that could be dangerous for her. Luckily, nothing happened.
Hermione's parents gave her that name because they're Shakespeare fans. "Hermione" is a character in The Winter's Tale.
@@Shan_Dalamani That's the fictional explanation for her being named 'Hermione', the reason given in the story.
But her name was assigned by JK Rowling, who did not randomly assign names.
Hermione is the feminine of 'Hermes', who was a very powerful god in the ancient Greek Olympian pantheon.
Hermes was the messenger of the gods; he knew all the 'tea'. And (at least in the films) Hermione is the character who most furnished exposition (new info and its significance), serving as the author's messenger.
Hermes was the god of magic, at which Hermione is the most adept. He was later merged with the Egyptian god Thoth, who was the Egyptian pantheon's scribe, which is mirrored in Hermione's love of writings. As the Hermes-Thoth blend, he was known as Hermes Trismegistus, the 'Thrice-blessed', mighty in knowledge, magic, and philosophy. This is an indication of the hidden greatness in Hermione.
Hermes is credited with inventing language, writing, and the alphabet. His main symbol is the caduceus, still used today to symbolize the medical profession; Hermione had a good grasp of wizard first aid. Another symbol is the satchel or pouch, which brings to mind Hermione's purse with the Undetectable Extension charm; no other character is shown (at least in the films) with a purse or pouch, and Hermione's purse had the form of a pouch.
Another attribute of Hermes is travel, symbolized by the winged shoes. Hermione, during the 7th film, seemed to be well-traveled with a real knowledge of UK terrain, apparating Harry and Ron to a lot of places they'd never seen.
Hermes is also known for his cleverness and is considered a patron of cunning and strategic thinking; Hermione is several times spotlighted for her talent in this very area. Hermes is the archetype that refers to the ability to communicate, moving between different levels of experience both material and mental, seizing opportunities, and connecting a number of different aspects. Hermione paraphrases this very concept about herself in the tent just before Ron freaks out and abandons his friends. Hermes is also credited for personal charm, and it's always Hermione who is the diplomat, calming difficult conversations; I think of Harry and Aberforth arguing and Hermione interceding to infuse respect into the interchange.
Hermes is adaptable and resourceful and can navigate life's challenges and opportunities. That's the very idea behind Ron's statement to Harry as he tries to sneak off after the Battle of the Seven Harrys, when Ron tells Harry, "We wouldn't last two days without her!"
I could go on, but I'm sure I've already carried on too much.
My point is that the AUTHOR chose or invented names that held dominant significance for the character of her creations.
@@chris...9497 Yes, you carried on FAR too much.
I'm aware of the process by which authors name their characters. I've had issues with that in my own writing.
And it wasn't a fanfiction author who decided on the in-universe explanation for Hermione's name.
You put so much effort into the videos. Keep it up! Top quality! Try to add more hashtags on your videos, maybe they will make the videos pop up more. Definitely worth a like and a sub.
@@at-qj4ks thank you!!! 🙏
Harry Melling who plays Dudley Dursley is a very good actor. Check out his some of his movies.
He was in Ballad of Buster Scruggs! I love that movie.
@@lillywhitehands he plays his role very well!
If you listen carefully their is ticking sound like a clock. fantastic movie. Some once said that if you would take this movie out of the HP series; it would stand on its own.
@@MI-hz1cp so many amazing subtle details!
Y'all edited out the Malfoy punch??
Sorry! We’ve had some issues with copyright claims and demonetization so we could not include some parts
LMAO @ Trelawney looking like every lady in Sedona. Are you guys from AZ?! :)
@@orrgin we are not but have spent some time there. Lots of crystals 😂 but a beautiful place
A it possible to lengthen the scene a little bit so we can see more of the actual scene along with you guys? It’s cuts so quick and often that I feel like we miss some good reaction parts with y’all! Love the videos though
Sorry we have had issues especially with Harry Potter on demonetization, even this one got demonetized with our conservative cuts. Full thing is available on our Patreon though!
This is definitely my favorite movie adaptation. The later books had too much dropped. They all should have been 2 movies.
@@hartjohnson2975 definitely an amazing adaptation!
SEAMUS OMG
You need to check out the video! He gives so many good stories
I Sirious-ly concur, Sir... it is the best of the series... because of the introduction of the Maruder's introduction... 😉
@@dawnmarieallenkent2495 but they left it out mostly 😔
There is no relation between the name of hippogriffs and the word hypocrite. hippogriffs were a thing long before JKR included them in HP.
@@felixhenson9926 oh, good to know! Thanks for sharing
This is my favorite HP movie, but I hate that it starts with Harry doing magic in his room. He knows it is against the law.
@@debbiecantwell7739 well it’s only an illumination spell so not too crazy
@@joshandcasey actually their wands have a trace on them so they can see if they use magic outside school, therefore it was bad for the movie to include thst scene. In the book Harry actually writes on an summer essay without using spells. Although might be mor fun to the audience with a spell contra him just writing an essay.
That is not correct. It's never explained how the trace works but we know that it can't be their wands because the ministry can't actually know who performed the magic AND they know when wandless magic is performed. It's more like they just know when magic occurs.
For example, Harry got a warning letter about doing magic after Dobby did the hover charm on the cake.@@lucaslindgren2258
BEST MOVIE
@@itz_mash 💯!!
Trailer Park Boys reference? Wha?😂
@@itzel1735 🙌
ruclips.net/video/1nsjzEFEYfo/видео.html i always like to share this clip... it takes place during the end credits
WHy are you cutting like that. it is awkward cutting in between words. lols
@@Jeffrey-e3n we will forward your comments to our editor 🙌
De la saga mi favorita es el príncipe mestizo. Pero sí creo que el prisionero de Azkaban da un giro tremendo con la saga. La mejora enormemente.👌
Si estoy de acuerdo, gracias!
