The reason you were so suprised that Harry likes Ginny is because it was extremely poorly developed in this films. In the books, Ginny is the baddast bitch ever. She is outgoing and popular, and everybody wants to be friends with her and all the boys want to date her. She is also a very powerful and skilled witch, which is why Slughorn invited her to the Slugclub. Ron and Hermione's romantic relationship is also not very well developed in the movies. The reason he doesn't see that she likes him is because he is extremely insecure and thinks she would obviously (in his mind) like Harry instead of him.
@@anew1780 yeah, Ginny and Ron! Ron is much braver, kinder and good at Quidditch in the books. He's the one that brings balance to the trio. I hate what the movies did to his and Ginny's personalities
I'm sorry to say but the character is also acted pretty poorly, you can convey that sassy cool vibe and the actress falls flat imo. 😢 I hate to criticize the actress but she wasn't the right casting choice imo -- it's no one's fault, they had to cast her early at such a young age.
I love that entire sequence SO MUCH. When people say this is their least favourite film, I’m like the SpongeBob meme pointing out that sequence, the Dumble death scene, the wand raising scene… there is SO much to love about this film and the only thing people get annoyed by is the romance (which, yes, was handled poorly, but it’s realistic to include romance in a film about 16 year olds, come on).
@@HerHollyness it's the worst adaptation. There is so much unnecessary bad filler. It's disservice to the best book of the franchise. The whole scene of burning Burrow is nonsensical.
Snape saying the killing curse while you were simultaneously predicting that he wouldn't go through with it followed by your IMMEDIATE DROP IN FACIAL EXPRESSION killed me! rip dumble
Draco used Petrificus Totalus on Harry on the train, that's the spell that makes you stiff and incapable of moving for a while. Hermione did the same spell on Neville in the 1st movie when they were sneaking out.
And its the supposed (Worldless magic) spell that Dumbledore used to immobilise Harry when Draco came in and then the death eaters (in the book) so that he didnt risk his life trying to save him
A detail about Snape being the half-blood prince that isn't explained as fully in the films, is that his mother was called Eileen Prince (Prince is her maiden name) and his father was a muggle. Hence, it makes sense why he's the half-blood prince.
It also explains why Snape fell in with the blood-purity crowd and became a Death Eater. All the Muggles in his life during his formative years were horrible people. His father was a domestic abuser. Petunia was trying to keep Lily away from him out of jealousy of her sister. He'd have had every reason going into Hogwarts to hang out with the crowd who told him Muggles are scum and the wizarding world should remain pure and above them.
@@fawfulfan Yet Potter and Black were also pure-bloods (they were also little golden-boy shits) who took against both Severus AND Lily the first second they got on the train, but were worse to Sev. The truth involves assault, S.assault and attempted murder. (Potter fancied Lily when they were older, but that does not make it in any way acceptable). Personally, if MY best friend had been bullied by someone, I would NOT have dated them like Lily did. THIS is why I have NO respect at all for Lily Evans.
@@lexiburrows8127 James did mature throughout the years, and remember that Snape was also a dark magic user, which is something they disliked and hated. Plus, Snape essentially called Lily the magic equivalent of the N-word, so I doubt she cared much about him after 5th year.
Luna’s lion hat is even better in the book - it’s enchanted and it roars loudly. I love her so much! Everyone does, so I can see why everyone was getting on you for (potentially) shading her last time!
The ironic part is that in real life, that’s the type of person that is bullied. He just reacted as every average human does, too self-centered to look pass someone being different. Most reactors get pass it and love her eventually but that’s because it is a story.
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.
Also Snape was enough of an asshole to probably not include all the tips and tricks haha and imagine a student’s confusion at reading a book before or after class to study and it doesn’t match what was on the board omgs 😩
That literally *never* occurred to me before in all my life of being a Potterhead. Wow. Now this might be the first thing that actually might make me like something about Snape (the book character, impossible not to live the movie character played by Alan Rickman). Because I think I fully expected he would have kept all those improvements to himself and never tell anyone, but what you said makes such perfect sense. I am stunned. *Stunned* , I tell ya!
@@V_4_Versace Actually thinking back I remember most of Snape's homework assignments were more theory-based, so I'm wondering if the textbooks he used were more geared towards that rather than actual potion instructions as well.
34:34 In the books Harry was petrified by Dumbledore and hidden with the invisibility cloak, so he had no choice but to watch how Snape killed Dumbledore :(
Draco's storyline in the books is so heartbreaking and well written. He really was just in it for his family. It's just so obvious that he's just a scared kid who didn't want anyone to die.❤
Slughorn messed up the house on purpose because if death eaters came looking for him they'd think he is dead/ ran away. Draco used "petrificus totalus" a spell that petrified Harry, that is why he couldn't move. Tom Riddle/ Voldemort is a extremely manipulative man. He knows that Slughorn is kinda "naive" and wouldn't think a 16 year old would kill someone. That's why he asked HIM questions and not someone like Dumbledore, who was already suspicious of him.
One thing I'm *so sad* about when it comes to the films is that they make Ron so shit! A lot of his good/clever moments are given to Hermione. It is a shame, because he's not a total toss pot in the books lol. Anyway, RIP Dumble xox edit - also Ginny :( she was a total badass in the books, and the film writing completely let her character down
Yes! Thank you! Ron is so much better in the books! He is the most loyal friend, has has some really amazing moments of bravery :). And yes, Ginny is also underrated in the movies. Read the books Brad!
Also Brad, Voldemort is a half-blood too 😮 He likes to pretend he isn’t, but we find out in the book that his mother used a love potion on his father, who was a muggle. He eventually left her, and she died after giving birth from heartbreak. Voldemort always hated that she didn’t use magic to save herself, and he hated that his father didn’t like magic. So he acts like he’s pure blood… basically a huge hypocrite lol
In the book, if I remember correctly, Harry was under a spell when watching Dumbledore get killed, so he actually couldn’t move. My favorite set of lines (or half of it) from when they was going to the cave, was cut from the movie and that’s Harry: “I’m not worried, I’m with Dumbledore.” And then in the cave Dumbledore says “I’m not worried Harry, because I’m with you”
I'd have loved to see more from Draco in the movies. He's so lonely and yes, he's a piece of shit most of the time, but I feel so sorry for him. He has a horrible father, just like Billy in Stranger Things, and he grew up with that kind of people around, expecting so much from him to be "evil" like the bad guys. So yeah, it would have been better to have more development of his character. The scene in the bathroom makes me cry every time I see it because even if his is a coward you can feel him suffering, he doesn't want to be a twat, but he has too. In some way, I just love him, sorry not sorry. Draco just needs to be loved. I should read the books and see how he matures through them. Love from Spain❤❤❤❤
I agree, the juxtaposition of the normal kids romantic year vs Draco alone in corners is really sad once you notice it. Know who really picks this up and empathizes with Draco? Reactor 'Just Trust Ash', they have great HP reactions (Brad's are #1 top tier though lol)
@@mehlev wow, thanks for the suggestion, I'll see their reactions tomorrow. I didn't think about that juxtaposition, I just noticed it through all the movies, mostly after the fourth one. Your point makes it even sadder. And yeaaaah, Brad is top of the top for me too. He's just hilarious, and I love his British accent, I'd love to be his friend hahaha he seems so nice 🤗
Sorry, I can’t. He called for the death of his classmates, he almost killed his classmates while trying to kill a professor, and he laughed at the execution of an animal he provoked. I think a lot of people have horrible childhoods, but I think after you cross a certain line I stop feeling bad. After 11, Draco spent more time at hogwarts than home. If he any inclination you change at the time, he had the resources. Let’s not forget the story gives us a character who’s race similarly, and turned out differently. Sirius Black. To be honest, I thought, feeling bad he should still be in Azkaban.
@@esmenesme I hate recommending other reactors on a reactor's page but because that take on Draco is so rare I thought I'd mention it. 😉 @Really Dude!?! Petra DID say he's a huge POS, they are not excusing Draco or his past behavior. But in this instance/movie, I agree with feeling empathy for Draco: he so obviously does not want to kill Dumbledore and is only going through with it all (including the unintentional hurt to students) because he's been groomed, coerced and is under duress. I feel bad for him too.
@@eamcbmsc Keep in mind he's still a child that was indoctrinated into thinking his bloodline and that of other purebloods is superior, thanks to his parents (mostly his father). He might be a little shit, but he was raised to be that way, and stuff like that isn't easy to just break away from. Just look at any kids that are forced into a specific mindset by their parents. Draco deserves some blame for not taking notice of how his actions negatively were affecting his classmates for the majority of the story, but when it came time for him to get his own hands dirty, you can see the toll it takes on him. Draco is not fundamentally a terrible person. His father warped him into being the way he is, and because of that I put most of the blame onto Lucius.
Voldemort's whole thing is hating muggles and halfbloods. That's why they're attacking. The brute looking guy at the beginning (the "scary bastard") is Fenrir Greyback. He's the werewolf that bit Lupin when he was a child in retaliation against his father saying all werewolves are soulless and deserving of death. Draco was forced into this because his father failed Voldemort the year before, broke the prophecy and was sent to Azkaban. Harry gave the twins his Triwizard Tournament winnings for their shop. Draco used the same spell to petrify Harry that Hermione did to Neville in the first movie. Your joking way of pronouncing Hermione is literally how I read it when I first started the books as a small child lol and none of the teachers I asked knew how to pronounce it either. The first bird, the white bird, died when Draco tried but there was a second bird in the cage, the black bird, so it can be assumed that he'd learned how to do it without killing the bird on his second try. Can't wait to see your reactions to the last two.
Just like Slughorn, Albus Dumbledore collects people. Only instead of focusing on those with influence, he looks to the outcasts. The expelled half-giant The young werewolf The repentant Death Eater He protects them and gives them a second chance. All he asks in return is their loyalty. And, if on occasion he requests that they undertake a certain task, invoking their debt of gratitude - well, that is no more than he is owed. He once thought to add a certain disowned Black to his collection, but quickly realised his mistake. Sinus is not an outcast, but a rebel. He knowingly chose his path, and chooses what price he is willing to pay for it. He refuses to be used. So Albus Dumbledore abandons him. Dumbledore knows Sirius' loyalty lies with Harry instead of him, and he has no use for someone who is not willing to follow his orders without question. Harry was an outcast due to a childhood filled with abuse and neglect. Vernon made him an outcast by dismissing his claims of magic, berating him, locking him in a CLOSET and putting bars on his window, and let's face it, even though her editor made her cut it out, Jo intended for there to be physical abuse. Petunia made him an outcast by enabling and contributing to this abuse, as well as making Harry do dozens of chores while doting on Dudley. Dudley made him an outcast by bullying him and threatening any students at school who wanted to be his friends. And the rest of the wizarding world made him an outcast when they bullied him for being an outsider. Harry James Potter became an outcast the moment he was placed with The Dursleys. And who put him there in the first place?
It's a sad truth that Dumbledore was never the heroic and caring father figure Harry wanted to see in him. That said, I can't blame Dumbledore for the choices he made. Certainly this collection of his started out with the best intentions. I fully believe that, at the core, Dumbledore was a good person with an infinitely caring heart. But he never let go of his ambitions "for the greater good". The meaning of the phrase simply shifted as he grew older and more detached from his old life. He lived long enough and grew powerful enough that he saw himself become a living legend. The Wizarding World had rested on his shoulders for such a long time, he probably couldn't imagine a world in which Voldemort was not his responsibility. Especially considering that he was the one who first introduced him into the Wizarding World. I think he fully believed himself the only person capable of orchestrating Voldemort's downfall and did everything in his power to make sure the prophecy would come true. No matter the cost. No matter the lives that he'd need to sacrifice for it.
Feels like the kind of thing someone would want to fact-check before allowing them into the secret society, but Voldie must not care enough. Or background checks don't exist in the wizarding world. 🤣
also one thing i wished the movie highlighted more is, since its *literally* called half-blood prince, the "relationship" Harry developed with this unknown person who wrote down notes in the potions book- like he was reading them all the time and picked up various spells from it, trying to find out who it was, talking about the Prince like a secret friend or smthing.. made it a really bitter moment when u find out it's Snape:O BUUUT to say something positive, i really love the music, colour grading and comedic moments in this film it sort of stands out to me:) thanks for the reactions they always make me laugh so much!!
When the book was released, I read it in two weeks that summer. There were two sequences that made me make audible sounds: the bathroom duel with Draco, and the Astronomy tower. When I finished the chapter where Dumbledore falls, I closed my book and left it for a day. Also, the earlier movies cut out details that were mentioned in the books because, at the time, they seemed to be throwaway lines that Rowling put in there. The 6th movie was released two years after the seventh book was out, and everyone realized that those details were missing. Like the slow relationship builds between Ginny and Harry and Ron and Hermione. There are some other ones that will be touched in movies 7 and 8 that I don't want to spoil for you. Another thing that makes fans mad to this day is that, for the first 5 movies, Lavender Brown was played by a POC girl. THEN, when she becomes important to the plot, she's suddenly recast by a white girl. Like....really?
As part of the Harry Potter generation who had to wait for the books and movies to come and never knew what was coming it makes me a bit sad that new generations will never experience that the way we did. I will never forget watching this one in a packed movie theatre at 12:01am. It was an unreal experience to watch with other fans, you could hear a pin drop 90% of the time and occasionally some cheers and often sobs from those who where brought to tears. It was truly a crazy cool way to watch these for the first time. I have so many memories of it and of dressing up with my friends, waiting in line for 12 hours, making potter themed snacks and staging wizard duels outside the theatre (we where theatre kids too) I wish the generations after us could experience that too.
the very fact that i watched this entire two and a half hour movie with you on patreon and i still ran to watch this video the very second it released says so much about brad and his editing powers
heyyy so here are some explanations for stuff that isn't really clear in the movie: -during the lessons with Dumbledore, Harry goes through many more memories about Voldemort and we really get to learn his backstory. it's a bit long to write down here but if you want to look it up it's really interesting -also in the book we get to know a bit about Snape's backstory as well. he was born from a witch, Eileen Prince (from here he invents his nickname) and a violent and abusive muggle, Tobias Snape. therefore he's a halfblood, just like harry (who has a pure blood father and a mudblood mother, a witch whose parents are both muggles) and lord Voldemort himself (his mother was a witch from an ancient pureblood family who had a son with a muggle who she kept seduced with a love potion) I'm probably forgetting something, but still i hope it helps
i think in the book it's always mentioned that Tom Riddle was charming and nobody suspected him to turn out the way he did. In the movies tho he is portrayed villainous from the beginning
3:01 Dumbledore is absolutely fabulous. I mean, Shacklebolt in the previous did say that you have to give it to him for his style. P.S. Also, sashays away with the Knitting Patterns 🔥
what i love about hermione using the confundus charm on mclaggen is that its like well known that using magic without a wand is quite difficult, but hermione does it so easily lmao
my spidey senses must be tingling... just opened up youtube to see if you'd posted this yet haha! very excited - always love how much your videos make me laugh! :)
Not you convincing yourself that Snape was gonna double cross the death eaters RIGHT in the moment that he was killing Dumbledore 😭💀 That’s such a sad scene and rip Dumbledore but that had me rollinggggg hahaha
The way this movie in particular was directed is so memorable to me. Like idk how to explain it but simple things like slughorn giving harry the luck potion stay in my mind
"Avedaka - what?" Im deadd,I laughed so hard at you trying to think snape out of that situation knowing what was going to happen. Oh that was too fun and the editing was top notch.
you pointing out that they win liquid luck by brewing death is something that i never thought about but honestly it’s very on point with hogwarts curriculum
If it had been the Tom Riddle from Chamber of Secrets, no one would have thought he was weird In the book, Dumbledore casts a freezing spell on Harry so he can't move or defend Dumbledore even though he desperately wants to Regarding if people know Snape is a half-blood... probably not? Someone else on the bad side (can't say who because big book spoiler) is also a half-blood and if that were known, you'd wonder why anyone gave credit to the person.
Rip Dumble 😭💜 I love watching these with you! Voldemort does know that Snape is a half blood, and if you remember, Voldemort also told Harry that he himself is a half blood in the second movie! He changed his name from Tom Riddle to Voldemort because he didn’t want to keep his “filthy muggle fathers name” or something like that. Half bloods are not really looked down on too much, it’s really just the muggleborns that Voldy and his followers hate.
It makes me kinda sad when at the end you said "we need hermione not so much ron" because in the books he is actually very smart and helps the group alot. Unfortunately alot of his clever lines were given to hermione because the screen writer love her and did not like ron so much...
This is my favorite of the HP films. I think it’s the perfect synergy of dynamic relationships, Hogwartsiness, great character actors character acting, mystery, and intrigue.
I’m soooo here for this !!! I was starting to search for something else and I saw this come up on the main screen and I was like “ holy shit this is SO MUCH better!!!!” . Clicked on it immediately 😂😂😂😂😂 so happy 🎉🎉🎉🎉 by the way Brad your hair looks fucking amazing I live for that color!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ very nice asmr btw you should think of doing some asmr videos lol cannot wait till you see the last one ......😮
Fun fact Voldemort is also a half blood. Actually his father was a muggle and his mother a squib (so even if she was born from wizards she didn't have barely any magic)
36:37 voldemort himself is Half Blood. His mother was from a pure blood family, she became obsessed with a muggle boy and used a love potion to get with him
i usually tear up a bit when dumbledore dies, but your reaction had me chuckling - I bloody well needed it! I've watched a fair few HP reactions, but, so far, yours are amongst the best - your humour is just >>>>>

@@esmenesme I hate recommending other reactors on a reactor's page but because that take on Draco is so rare I thought I'd mention it. 😉
@Really Dude!?! Petra DID say he's a huge POS, they are not excusing Draco or his past behavior. But in this instance/movie, I agree with feeling empathy for Draco: he so obviously does not want to kill Dumbledore and is only going through with it all (including the unintentional hurt to students) because he's been groomed, coerced and is under duress. I feel bad for him too.
@@eamcbmsc Keep in mind he's still a child that was indoctrinated into thinking his bloodline and that of other purebloods is superior, thanks to his parents (mostly his father). He might be a little shit, but he was raised to be that way, and stuff like that isn't easy to just break away from. Just look at any kids that are forced into a specific mindset by their parents. Draco deserves some blame for not taking notice of how his actions negatively were affecting his classmates for the majority of the story, but when it came time for him to get his own hands dirty, you can see the toll it takes on him. Draco is not fundamentally a terrible person. His father warped him into being the way he is, and because of that I put most of the blame onto Lucius.
Voldemort's whole thing is hating muggles and halfbloods. That's why they're attacking.
The brute looking guy at the beginning (the "scary bastard") is Fenrir Greyback. He's the werewolf that bit Lupin when he was a child in retaliation against his father saying all werewolves are soulless and deserving of death.
Draco was forced into this because his father failed Voldemort the year before, broke the prophecy and was sent to Azkaban.
Harry gave the twins his Triwizard Tournament winnings for their shop.
Draco used the same spell to petrify Harry that Hermione did to Neville in the first movie.
Your joking way of pronouncing Hermione is literally how I read it when I first started the books as a small child lol and none of the teachers I asked knew how to pronounce it either.
The first bird, the white bird, died when Draco tried but there was a second bird in the cage, the black bird, so it can be assumed that he'd learned how to do it without killing the bird on his second try.
Can't wait to see your reactions to the last two.
I live for your genuine excitement and affection for these characters. Makes me really happy as a Potterhead. :)
29:03 Remember how you felt seeing Tom in the second movie Brad, that's how most people saw him, this scene shows what he was actually like...
Just like Slughorn, Albus Dumbledore collects people. Only instead of focusing on those with influence, he looks to the outcasts.
The expelled half-giant
The young werewolf
The repentant Death Eater
He protects them and gives them a second chance. All he asks in return is their loyalty.
And, if on occasion he requests that they undertake a certain task, invoking their debt of gratitude - well, that is no more than he is owed.
He once thought to add a certain disowned Black to his collection, but quickly realised his mistake.
Sinus is not an outcast, but a rebel. He knowingly chose his path, and chooses what price he is willing to pay for it. He refuses to be used.
So Albus Dumbledore abandons him.
Dumbledore knows Sirius' loyalty lies with Harry instead of him, and he has no use for someone who is not willing to follow his orders without question.
Harry was an outcast due to a childhood filled with abuse and neglect.
Vernon made him an outcast by dismissing his claims of magic, berating him, locking him in a CLOSET and putting bars on his window, and let's face it, even though her editor made her cut it out, Jo intended for there to be physical abuse.
Petunia made him an outcast by enabling and contributing to this abuse, as well as making Harry do dozens of chores while doting on Dudley.
Dudley made him an outcast by bullying him and threatening any students at school who wanted to be his friends.
And the rest of the wizarding world made him an outcast when they bullied him for being an outsider.
Harry James Potter became an outcast the moment he was placed with The Dursleys.
And who put him there in the first place?
It's a sad truth that Dumbledore was never the heroic and caring father figure Harry wanted to see in him. That said, I can't blame Dumbledore for the choices he made. Certainly this collection of his started out with the best intentions. I fully believe that, at the core, Dumbledore was a good person with an infinitely caring heart. But he never let go of his ambitions "for the greater good". The meaning of the phrase simply shifted as he grew older and more detached from his old life. He lived long enough and grew powerful enough that he saw himself become a living legend. The Wizarding World had rested on his shoulders for such a long time, he probably couldn't imagine a world in which Voldemort was not his responsibility. Especially considering that he was the one who first introduced him into the Wizarding World. I think he fully believed himself the only person capable of orchestrating Voldemort's downfall and did everything in his power to make sure the prophecy would come true. No matter the cost. No matter the lives that he'd need to sacrifice for it.
There was also a wretched squib and a giftless seer. In his collection, I mean.
Dumbledore pretty much ticks off a codependent checklist, doesn't he? I mean, abandoning Sirius because he can't have his loyalty?
I absolutely love this explanation. 👏🏼
And that's why I'm always on team Eff Dumbledore.
I think snape kept his muggle dad a secret so a lot of people think he’s pureblood :)
Feels like the kind of thing someone would want to fact-check before allowing them into the secret society, but Voldie must not care enough. Or background checks don't exist in the wizarding world. 🤣
also one thing i wished the movie highlighted more is, since its *literally* called half-blood prince, the "relationship" Harry developed with this unknown person who wrote down notes in the potions book- like he was reading them all the time and picked up various spells from it, trying to find out who it was, talking about the Prince like a secret friend or smthing.. made it a really bitter moment when u find out it's Snape:O
BUUUT to say something positive, i really love the music, colour grading and comedic moments in this film it sort of stands out to me:) thanks for the reactions they always make me laugh so much!!
R.I.P. Dumble
Love every single one of your reactions. The next two will be a blast and a half, I'll wager. Plz don't make us wait too long 😅
Hey Brad Evans, did you know that Harry's mother's last name is also Evans? I just noticed that. Lily Evans
I think we can all agree that we look forward to his reaction to a certain scene in the last movie. Hopefully none of that part is cut out!
Which one?
I think this movie has a lot of the funniest moments in the series. Snape just walking away after Harry asks a question is my favorite.
I applaud the level of gay restraint not to use the Nina West "MAGIC!" more than you already did!
We all love you Brad! One of my favourite content creator
When the book was released, I read it in two weeks that summer. There were two sequences that made me make audible sounds: the bathroom duel with Draco, and the Astronomy tower. When I finished the chapter where Dumbledore falls, I closed my book and left it for a day.
Also, the earlier movies cut out details that were mentioned in the books because, at the time, they seemed to be throwaway lines that Rowling put in there. The 6th movie was released two years after the seventh book was out, and everyone realized that those details were missing. Like the slow relationship builds between Ginny and Harry and Ron and Hermione. There are some other ones that will be touched in movies 7 and 8 that I don't want to spoil for you.
Another thing that makes fans mad to this day is that, for the first 5 movies, Lavender Brown was played by a POC girl. THEN, when she becomes important to the plot, she's suddenly recast by a white girl. Like....really?
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE.
As part of the Harry Potter generation who had to wait for the books and movies to come and never knew what was coming it makes me a bit sad that new generations will never experience that the way we did.
I will never forget watching this one in a packed movie theatre at 12:01am. It was an unreal experience to watch with other fans, you could hear a pin drop 90% of the time and occasionally some cheers and often sobs from those who where brought to tears. It was truly a crazy cool way to watch these for the first time. I have so many memories of it and of dressing up with my friends, waiting in line for 12 hours, making potter themed snacks and staging wizard duels outside the theatre (we where theatre kids too) I wish the generations after us could experience that too.
AHHH I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!! so so excited to watch thank you🫂 love ya🫶
the very fact that i watched this entire two and a half hour movie with you on patreon and i still ran to watch this video the very second it released says so much about brad and his editing powers
heyyy so here are some explanations for stuff that isn't really clear in the movie:
-during the lessons with Dumbledore, Harry goes through many more memories about Voldemort and we really get to learn his backstory. it's a bit long to write down here but if you want to look it up it's really interesting
-also in the book we get to know a bit about Snape's backstory as well. he was born from a witch, Eileen Prince (from here he invents his nickname) and a violent and abusive muggle, Tobias Snape. therefore he's a halfblood, just like harry (who has a pure blood father and a mudblood mother, a witch whose parents are both muggles) and lord Voldemort himself (his mother was a witch from an ancient pureblood family who had a son with a muggle who she kept seduced with a love potion)
I'm probably forgetting something, but still i hope it helps
i think in the book it's always mentioned that Tom Riddle was charming and nobody suspected him to turn out the way he did. In the movies tho he is portrayed villainous from the beginning
I just want to say, as a newer content creator - the amount of TIME and COMEDIC GENIUS you put into this edit is SO impressive. Holy f--k
thank uuuu 🥰 i really appreciate that
My fave scene is “be brave professor be brave like my mother “
"Otherwise she died for nothing" you can see it hit slughorn hard
Love how he says 'Dumble' like 'Dore' is his last name 🤣😂🤣
the reaction, the editing = pure gold
😂😂
R.I.P. Dumble - and love your edit style - found your Heartstopper reaction and fell down a rabbit hole.
the last 10 minutes was pure confusion and chaos lmao i love it! can't wait to watch your reaction to the next movie omfg pls i'm so excited
Brad vacillates from saying exactly what Harry is thinking to exactly what Hermione is thinking and I love it.
I love that I’ve already seen this but still so freaking hyped to see the edited one anyway!! Brad you slay! ❤️
3:01 Dumbledore is absolutely fabulous. I mean, Shacklebolt in the previous did say that you have to give it to him for his style.
P.S. Also, sashays away with the Knitting Patterns 🔥
I absolutely love your commentary and the editing on your videos. There was not a single video I've watched where you wouldn't make me laugh.
Your editing is unparalleled 😂😂😂 I love the random memes
what i love about hermione using the confundus charm on mclaggen is that its like well known that using magic without a wand is quite difficult, but hermione does it so easily lmao
my spidey senses must be tingling... just opened up youtube to see if you'd posted this yet haha! very excited - always love how much your videos make me laugh! :)
Not you convincing yourself that Snape was gonna double cross the death eaters RIGHT in the moment that he was killing Dumbledore 😭💀 That’s such a sad scene and rip Dumbledore but that had me rollinggggg hahaha
The way this movie in particular was directed is so memorable to me. Like idk how to explain it but simple things like slughorn giving harry the luck potion stay in my mind
I'm completely in love of your personality Brad. This reactions are the best and funnies
"Curious" is in Azkaban after the end of the last movie - only Bellatrix and Voldemort escaped from the Department of Mysteries.
I thought his name was Celsius. Now I'm confused
"Avedaka - what?" Im deadd,I laughed so hard at you trying to think snape out of that situation knowing what was going to happen. Oh that was too fun and the editing was top notch.
in the book, the last chapter is the funeral of dumbledore. It's umbelievable they didn't put that scene in the movie.
I'm loving the reactions
you pointing out that they win liquid luck by brewing death is something that i never thought about but honestly it’s very on point with hogwarts curriculum
*draco literally bleeding out*
brad: i’m having burritos tonight🙂
If it had been the Tom Riddle from Chamber of Secrets, no one would have thought he was weird
In the book, Dumbledore casts a freezing spell on Harry so he can't move or defend Dumbledore even though he desperately wants to
Regarding if people know Snape is a half-blood... probably not? Someone else on the bad side (can't say who because big book spoiler) is also a half-blood and if that were known, you'd wonder why anyone gave credit to the person.
oh hi namesake
Your edits are possibly the funniest on RUclips.
I don't know if anyone's said it already, but harry on the luck potion is how he is the entire time in the books. He's saaaassy
I enjoy sassy Harry so much in the books! In the movies he's just too bland
OMG OMG I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THISSS!!! I’m so excited to start, I can’t wait to see your reaction!
14:00 I wasn't paying attention for a sec and you exclaiming "HERMIONE IS USING MAGIC!" made me laugh so hard XD
Rip Dumble 😭💜 I love watching these with you! Voldemort does know that Snape is a half blood, and if you remember, Voldemort also told Harry that he himself is a half blood in the second movie! He changed his name from Tom Riddle to Voldemort because he didn’t want to keep his “filthy muggle fathers name” or something like that. Half bloods are not really looked down on too much, it’s really just the muggleborns that Voldy and his followers hate.
I’m so excited to see Brad entering Horcrux Territory. Just wait till the final movie.
I wasn't supposed to laugh so hard at this particular movie. I cry everytime! 🤣🤣 you reaction and editing are PURE GOLD❤
25:47 this is so funny omg. It goes from an intense fight scene to Brad talking about burritos-
R.I.P. Dumble
Loove your reactions, hilarious and on point ❣
I continue to quote lavender at rons bedside bc ts was so funny. "He senses my presence." "I'm herrree, I'm herrrreee."
PLEASE don't make us wait that long for the next Harry Potter movie reaction ??????⚡🦉🏳🌈🏳🌈
BESTIE I LITERALLY JUST FINISHED A TERM PAPER AND WAS LOOKING FOR ENTERTAINMENT!!!
I love youu sm!!
Great reaction as always!! And RIP Dumble :)
It makes me kinda sad when at the end you said "we need hermione not so much ron" because in the books he is actually very smart and helps the group alot. Unfortunately alot of his clever lines were given to hermione because the screen writer love her and did not like ron so much...
Yes!!
This is my favorite of the HP films. I think it’s the perfect synergy of dynamic relationships, Hogwartsiness, great character actors character acting, mystery, and intrigue.
Sectumsempra is such a brutal spell, oh my lord. Bleeding out, cut open by hundreds of cuts!?
That's just very metal. And it was invented by the ultimate emo kid. Very fitting imo
Your reactions are so hilarious I love it 😂❤
I’m screaming at these comments from you! The Lavender one in Potions nearly took me out! 😂
Ah I loved this, your editing is spectacular. Looking so forward to seeing your reactions to the next two. RIP Dumble 😂
now I can really only wish you luck with both Deathly Hallows movies especially the second one LMAO
brad your editing is just spectacular i am CRYING laughing
the next 2 are arguably the best out of the franchise cant wait to see them!!!!
This is absolutely my favorite one of the movies to see first time watchers react to... Followed closely by the last one 😊
I’m soooo here for this !!! I was starting to search for something else and I saw this come up on the main screen and I was like “ holy shit this is SO MUCH better!!!!” . Clicked on it immediately 😂😂😂😂😂 so happy 🎉🎉🎉🎉 by the way Brad your hair looks fucking amazing I live for that color!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ very nice asmr btw you should think of doing some asmr videos lol cannot wait till you see the last one ......😮
For me, the most fun to watch reactor is Brad. The responses are everything! 😂❤
Always love your reactions. ❤ Can't wait for the last two movies. 💞
my favorite youtuber literally ever
Brad really is the type of person that gets surprised by a plot twist huh
Fun fact Voldemort is also a half blood. Actually his father was a muggle and his mother a squib (so even if she was born from wizards she didn't have barely any magic)
His mother wasn't a squib, she was a witch. Also Squibs have no magic powers at all by definition, not "barely any".
AHHH SO EXCITED!! this is my favorite one!!
RIP Dumble! 😔 Brad! Hiii, loved this reaction as this is my favorite movie of the series! Can't wait for the final two! Ahhhh so close! ☺
The Gorillaz DARE edit, are you kidding me Bradley?!! Iconic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The way I screamed. LMFAO! 😭😭
36:37 voldemort himself is Half Blood. His mother was from a pure blood family, she became obsessed with a muggle boy and used a love potion to get with him
i usually tear up a bit when dumbledore dies, but your reaction had me chuckling - I bloody well needed it!
I've watched a fair few HP reactions, but, so far, yours are amongst the best - your humour is just >>>>>
I CLICKED SO FAST I MISSED BRAD'S HARRY REACTIONS
I love how you were compelled mid reaction to let us know you were having burritos for dinner 😂 I too share your love for them 😩🌯
I love how fast you want to put characters down!! 😂😂😂
My Favoriten Scene was when Harry made the click noises of aragorg 😂 i'm so amazed to See you watching the Last two of them 😍 i'm Always so exited when i See people watching Harry Potter for the First time
YESSS FINALLY AAAAAAA
I love your Harry Potter videos oml and your editing is just 🤌🏻
YO only 6 minutes in and already know this bout to be a banger of a reaction. Love all the little meme edits that spice things up
I love these reactions! The editing is everything!!
