I think the first one or this one is more of a introduction to the main character's more than anything. They do get a lot more darker as the films go along I think I know why most love the third one but I'm not going to spoil your enjoyment of watching them. These always get played at Christmas on the TV in the UK. There's more brilliant actors and actresses that you see as you go along. It's like the who's who of British actor's and actresses. I do love some of the lines in these films there very quotable. It looks like you enjoyed this and hope that you continue down the hp films. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
😊saw this movie at my movie theater in 2001 I was 17 at the time
Seems like every popular English actor has been in this series Lol 😂
harry potter is not just for kids its for all ages
i hate that they changed the title from harry potter and the philosopher's stone to harry potter and the sorcerer's stone just to suit american readers and some words was changed in it too
the 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th films are the best i dont like the 5th 6th 7th and 8th
Yeeeaaahhh... By the time you get to Deathly Hallows pt2, y'all are gonna be completely invested and emotionally attached to.. whoever's still around 🤔
I will never get tired of seeing people get into the Harry Potter films, they’re everything! My childhood
Yeeeees, same feeling. Harry Potter was the first book I read (besides those 10 pages kid's books ) and was the one that showed me the books world and nowadays I'm writing my first book. It kinda marked my life
@@raphaelaguiar4682 it was what got me into books and reading aswell. i learned english as a secondary language at 7 years old. because i couldn't wait for them to be translated to my own language. my mother thought that i was some kind of genius at the time - i just wanted to read harry potter, lol.
goodluck with your writing !
In the first movie, Harry is supposed to be 11 and the actor playing him is actually 12. At the end of the series Harry is 18 and the actor is 22 - so they managed to stay fairly close.
Filming began in September of 2000 (thereabouts) Daniel was 11 Emma was 10 and Rupert was 12.
At the end, Harry was supposed to be 17, not 18.
@@AHufflepuffAndASwiftie I was just writing to correct you, but I realised you are correct - book 1 he was 11, each book is a year later - my mistake was thinking, 7 books, so 11 plus 7 is 18 ... oops, forgot that book 1 is 11, then 6 more books after that so, yes, 17.
My main point though had been that they tried to make a movie a year, which would have fit the books [until the 7th book since that got split into 2 movies so the final movie kind of messes with it] but they came fairly close to the actors aging correctly for the books with Radcliffe starting off a year older than the character, and then by the time the 7th movie [start of the 7th book came along] he was 19 - so 2 years older than the character, though he was 20 by the time they finished - so 3 years. Still, not bad at matching actor and character in age over a series. Obviously, since the 8th movie is the second part of the 7th book, that throws it off a bit more - but hey, going throw everything that happened in book 7 would surely age anyone more quickly than normal 🐒
Technically, Harry was still 17 by the time things concluded. Remember he's one of the youngest in the school year, being born at the end of July. Ron and Hermione were 18.
@@_Professor_Oak still fairly close
I'm 61 years old and I still love it.
It gets more and more dark and scary as they get older.
This is not a children's story, it just has children as main characters the dark side is strong in this world
and the maturity level and stakes go up as we progress
Harry Potter as a whole is not a children's story, but the first one definitely is.
Your so cringe 😂😂
@@xavierdanner5620*You're
Muggles in the comments butthurt.
In the book, Ron didn't panic, Hermione did, because even though she knew what plant it was and how to stop it, she forgot that she can make light what is actually understandable as she comes from muggle parents (muggle means no wizard) while Ron's entire family are wizards and remind her that.
Definitely watch them all, the kids grow up and so do the movies with a bit more to offer. I remember stopping at 2 thinking that these movies really are for kids but later on in my 20s I rewatched and literally binged them. I would probably say my favorite is half blood prince. Can't wait to see the rest of the reactions, grab snacks and enjoy!!!
Thank you!!
I hope you will watch the rest of the franchise. They get progressively more intense and dark as you go. Solid watch and character progressions.
By the time you reach the final two movies, it gets REAL dark, Michelle and Natalie!
I am in my 60's and the Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite book of the series. I Love the movies, but I Love the Books so much more.
The books are certainly better, but thanks to Rowling’s involvement, the movies were pretty well made. Oftentimes, when authors aren’t involved in the movie adaptations, it’s often worse.
I was in my 40s when the books and this movie first came out, and figured they would only appeal to kids and teenagers. I had a co-worker who told me that she read the books to her children, and she really enjoyed them, so that piqued my interest. A few years after the final movie was released, they started appearing on a cable network. I decided to watch this one, then the second, and at that point, I decided to buy the box set of DVDs, so that I wouldn't have to deal with commercials. By the time I finished watching the final movie, I had ordered a boxed set of the books. Not long after finishing the books, a very pretty snowshoe siamese kitten came into my life, and I simply had to name her Hermione.
Yup! I was 39 when my sister sent me the DVD. A Magical Universe Indeed!
By the third movie you'll start saying "This is for KIDS?" lol Also, they did Ron dirty in the movies, he as so helpful, funny, and smarter in the books.
Ok what Ron did in the first movie winning that chess game was briliant and epic. He's smart, brave, loyal and good-hearted! I love him!
I hope you do all of them. I watch these every year. If you can get through the first 2, then they really do get so good... each one is better than the one before. Great reaction. Thank you.
they used triplets to play baby Harry, so they actually were the same size. Harry is about 15 months old when his parents died and he is taken to the Dursleys. The first couple of movies are easing you into the universe/story and therefore are a little more directed at kids, (keep in mind our main characters are 11 in the first movie and 12 in the second, so it makes sense for that reason too) but they also provide a lot of information that is important for the rest of the series. The story does age with the characters and gets significantly darker, more mature and complex.
One piece of advice. Turn on the subtitles so you can see the dialog. Harry Potter is a complex & detailed story with lots of Latin, strange words & unique names. A small detail in one book/movie can become an important plot point in another. It’s necessary to follow the story & remember small things mentioned or shown in passing. That’s easier to do with the subtitles turned on, especially when speaking over dialogue for your reactions.
The Harry Potter books were designed to age & grow with the audience. In the first book/movie the Trio are 11 years old. In the second they are 12. In the third they are 13… so forth & so on until the last, Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows, where they are 17/18.
So the first two books/movies are designed to appeal to tweens, books 3,4 & 5 to early & mid teens & the last are very much adult themed. They get darker & much more mature as they go along.
Harry must live with his maternal aunt for his own protection. As Dumbledore mentioned, Harry’s mother, Lily, sacrificed her own life to save him & that protection lives on in Harry.
Dumbledore used that to cast a strong protective enchantment on Harry & that enchantment requires that Harry live with a blood relative of his mother’s - her older sister Petunia. It’s the blood connection between Petunia, Lily & Harry that gives the enchantment it’s power. As Dumbledore tells Harry, “As long as you can call home the place where your mother’s blood dwells, there you cannot be harmed”. Harry only needs to spend a few weeks a year in his aunt’s house to keep the enchantment in place so he has to go back there every summer for a couple of weeks. His Aunt Petunia knows about the enchantment (it was explained in the letter left with baby Harry) & that’s why she took him. As jealous as Petunia was of her sister, she still accepted Lily’s son into her home in order to protect his life.
I’m a big Potter fan & look forward to watching your reactions to this wonderful series.
As a librarian and former teacher, I loved the Harry Potter series. A generation of kids - including kids who didn’t like to read- wanted to read, and were excited when each new book was released. Bookstores had midnight book release parties. The author wisely built the complexity and darkness to suit the age of the characters and the readers. The first book is quite slim, and the final one is much longer and darker. I didn’t start reading them until the 5th book was out.
As others have said, the adult cast of the HP series is a veritable who’s who of British actors.
I just smacked my forehead. There are 8 movies in this series and they get progressively darker as they were filmed over a 10 year period. Figure it out the kids were 9-10 years old at the beginning and 20 at the end. This one and the next one are the only two light hearted ones. I am 78 and watched them all for the first time this year. I now own all 8 films along with the books that I am now rereading for the third time. With the exception of the Goblet of Fire, they were all exceptionally well made films and had a number of the greatest British actors and actresses of their day. I got bored with Stars Wars after the first one so I guess there's no accounting for taste, watch a couple more before you dismiss them as "kids movies".
The series must be seen as one continuous story. There are important connections between seemingly trivial events in this one and very pivotal points through the last movie. As others have said, the stories get progressively darker and more mature as the characters grow up and things happen.
Maybe it's obvious already, but each book is one year at school. They all start around Harry's birthday, which is 31 July, and end with the end of the school year. There are a lot of important points from the books that the movies omit, such as why it is necessary for Harry to stay with his awful relatives, the Dursleys.
For your own sakes, do what you can to avoid spoilers.
I should also add that you shouldn't put too much thought into trying to figure anything out from the titles of the movies. They refer to important things in the stories, but usually there are no clues before the particular story to guide you, and the references they make are always explained, eventually.
Enjoyed the movies but they have to skip over so much for time. Definitely go back and listen to the audiobooks for more context.
You're the first I've seen to point out the plothole of harry being a toddler in the flashbacks but just a baby in the opening scene, it's always been hilarious to me
I watch reactors react to Harry Potter for the first time because I can’t. So this is the next best thing. Glad I can be a part of this journey!
My favorite thing about Harry Potter is how most of its "progressive" bandwagon fans who couldn't stop gushing over it and making references to it have suddenly gone quiet because they are afraid to be associated with the author.
Oh, you mean the same people who became enthralled with saying “trust the science” regarding certain other controversial matters? Frauds, the lot of them. Frauds, vampires, and zombies. As for me, I appreciate J.K. Rowling even more for standing on principle and not deluding herself with emotional hogwash. I’m so far beyond tired of so-called “empaths” who endlessly bleat about all these trendy issues (many of which they themselves perpetuate with their choices and their mentalities), yet constantly wish death on people they merely disagree with, and celebrate when said people die or almost die. That’s more like sociopathy, not empathy. Being a bleeding heart who tries to play the hero when it’s convenient (usually to compensate for one’s own hollowness) does not make one a good person.
The girl's name is Hermione, technically pronounced like her-MY-o-nee, but the middle syllables are sometimes contracted so it sounds closer to her-MAH-nee.
well herMAHnee sounds like you're saying it with a southern accent, it's more commonly pronounced as "Her-my-nee"
great reaction! As you watch the movies, especially from 3-4 on, things get more dark as the kids grow up and things get serious. This story is an epic that covers more than a couple years, and it will definitely suck you in as you go!
Thank you!!
I feel #2 people really start to appreciate #3 really hooks you Welcome to Harry Potter My favs Are #3 and #5
Filch is actually a really funny character. Doesn’t get enough credit.
Glad you guys are watching these. They are worth the hype and yes, they will get better. For me the 3rd one is the best. Binge em’. The Books are way better btw but they do a decent job keeping with them.
The 3rd seems to be a lot of people’s favorite!
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment yeah, you’ll see why. It’s done pretty well.
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment people just kinda simp for the prisoner. i think the 5th or 6th would be most people's favorite if it wasn't for an unpopular character death. 7th book suffered a bit from being split into two movies
The 3rd movie, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, has always been my favorite. It should be noted that Nicholas Flamel is the only real life, historical person mentioned in the Harry Potter stories. He lived during the Middle Ages and his house still stands in Paris. It is now a restaurant and with the popularity of the books and movies, they have created a Harry Potter menu for children. I had lunch there with an old friend on my last trip to Paris.
@@johnpaullogan1365 for me the 3rd portrays the 4 seasons, school life and address time well before the mood of the books/movies change. No simpin
The series gets more grown up and darker as it goes. The third movie is where it really changes gears.
23:29 Yeah, sadly the director loved his head-canon version of Hermione so much, he moved most clever and skillful and quick-thinking lines/actions from Ron and Harry and gave them to Hermione, to make her seem the protagonist of the story
Hermione in the books is the most book smart young Wizard, but lacks in common sense and freezes up when she has to think fast. Not only that, she is supposed to below average looking, extremely awkward and constantly bullied These are supposed to be main points of her arc, but she doesn't have any in the movies, they made her so boring in the movies compared to books.
This is the polar opposite of Harry, he isn't book smart and not that smart to begin with, but he has a heart of gold and when s**t hits the fan, he shifts to a new gear and dives in fearless.
Ron surprisingly enough is the smartest of the three, but hates studying and has a massive problem with lack of self-confidence and an inferiority complex for being dirt poor and has to scrape by with outdated and barely working several generation old hand-me-downs.
Man, I really hate how these movies make Ron seem like a bigoted comedic relief, instead of how well he is written in the books. Also, Ron is supposed to be really tall and lanky
Even the author was apalled with the massive changes to the three main characters
It's true, there is a lot of world building in the first one, and second one too. It's just a lot because it's a whole new world and new rules. BUT. The story is so much deeper than you would ever believe. The movies get darker as they get older. The precedent happens on movie 3 (Prisoner of Azkaban). If this felt anti-climactic, it's for a reason. Please watch them all!
In the book, Ron is much more useful and competent. And Hermione is not such a Mary Sue. Hermione's parents are muggles, so both she and Harry were raised in the muggle world. Ron is the only one of the three that knows the ins and outs of wizarding society. Ron already knows about quidditch and all the cultural aspects of being a wizard. While Hermione only knows what she's been able to read in books. Yes, she's very smart and studious, and a well-disciplined learner. She and Harry are only children, and have only just entered the wizarding world, whereas Ron's been in it his whole life, and has five older brothers, two of which have already graduated from Hogwarts.
Thanks!
Fair warning. In the third movie, you’ll likely notice that Dumbledore looks different, it was because the original actor, Richard Harris, died and they had to cast a new actor. Ian McKellan was asked first but he turned it down and Michael Gambon (who passed away a couple months ago) was cast instead.
23:16
whats funny is that in the books, Harry was a C+ student like Ron too, both of them would slack off and procrastinate on assignments and Hermione would constantly nag them about it
First off, I can totally imagine getting into a series like this as an adult can be a completely different experience than what I had, growing up reading the books, waiting for a year between movies, and all that. But with an open mind (and some patience till you get to movie 3 😂), I can't imagine you won't be swept into the magical world of Harry!
By the time this movie came out, JK Rowling had plotted out the rest of the books. She told Alan Rickman - and ONLY him - what she had planned for Snape. He had the delicate task of playing the role with Snape's future in mind, but without giving anything away to his fellow actors or to the audience.
The entrance to the chessboard room was filmed several months before the game itself. In the meantime, Rupert Grint (Ron) experienced a growth spurt. The director had him ride the knight chess piece in order the minimize the height difference between him and the other two.
Harry was not a toddler in the pictures with his parents. Baby Harry was played by the Saunders Triplets.
Hermione = her - MY - oh - nee
'Sorcerer's Stone' introduces us the wizarding world, serving as the foundation for the rest. Stick with the series. The books and movies get darker as the series progresses.
I think y'all will enjoy it more as you watch the rest of the movies. I didn't see it until I was in my twenties. I have the books but I gaven't read them yet lol. Good to see y'all. I'm looking forward to the next review. Y'all take care and stay blessed. 🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉
I was three when the first book was released and my aunt introduced me to the series when I was older. The first one was the only one I didn’t see in theaters.
This franchise can change your life. The obsession is real. You'll want to watch them all again, every weekend, for the rest of your life.
And read again too.
Ron did so much more in the books. Most of his brilliance was given to Hermione in the movies, demoting Ron to a comic relief. Ron has lived in the Wizarding World his whole life. He has a lot of streetsmarts when it comes to magic and magical things. Hermione has her booksmarts and logic thinking and Harry has his natural talent to stand up to adversity.
They pretty much did Ron dirty in the films. He was supposed to be the tactical thinker, the one with street smarts. He is the one who dealt with pressure better than the others which was why he had some sharp wit.
They definitely made him the comic relief
Books > movies but the movies had an amazing cast, sets, music, etc so it's not as rage-inducing as adaptations usually are. So glad you enjoyed it! I was given the first two books when I was 12, devoured them, and asked to go get the rest only to learn that I had to wait as the 2nd had only just come out. They definitely get more grown up as time goes on but this one is a charming introduction to the world for sure! Hope you continue with the series!
Being rather old, i first saw the Potter movies as a middleaged guy, and loves them. Like in all big series, the first one is the least interesting, because a lot of time goes with introducing the characters, but they get better and better along the way, and the 3-4 last ones are nor for kids, or squeamish adults🙂
Hermione: "It's levi-OH-sa, not levio-SA! And stop waving that wand about. You're going to put someone's eye out! Did you know you have dirt on your nose? What an idiot! You're going to get us killed, or worse: expelled!"
"Dirty" Harry Potter: "I killed my first wizard when I was 11. They caught me, and everybody knew I did it, but they let me go. (cough) imperius (cough)"
The twins Fred and George are brothers to Ron. Also Harry's father was not a Seeker, he was a chaser that's what JK Rowling stated on Pottermore which is now known as Wizarding world. Please keep in mind that in the books Ron Weasley is actually a lot braver, and the devil's snare he didn't freak out it was Hermione who actually freaked out and it was Ron who reminded her that she's a witch and she doesn't need wood to start a fire. The reason why though they change the scene around is they did remove a scene of Hermione down in that dungeon where she had to solve which potion that she could drink and that Harry could drink to move forward and also backwards without drinking the wrong potion that would cost them their life. So that showed how smart and intelligent she was unfortunately that was cut out of the movie
In Hermione's defense, there wouldn't have to be a curve if everyone else learned what they were supposed to. It's freaking magic y'all why would you try not to learn the most??
No, no, the mountain troll doesn't live in the castle, it was let in by Quirrel as a distraction. It wasn't supposed to be there. Fluffy the dog was kept there by Hagrid to protect the Stone.
I love how no one at the school acknowledges the fact that Harry killed a teacher with his bare hands.
😂😂
Headline, "First year student murders Defense Against the Dark Arts professor by grabbing his face." Harry, year 2: "Apparently I am your new professor as every candidate was afraid to shake hands with me. Open your textbooks to page 23."
I saw the first couple movies and got hooked. I bought the books and started reading them but the last couple hadn't come out yet. It was torture waiting for them to come out to complete the story.... They did very well with the movies but the books have a lot more details for the story line. The movies/books get darker as they proceed... I remember the author said in an interview that she was trying to make the story/characters grow up with the readers. The books came out over a 10 year period so a 10 yr old starting the series would have been 20 yrs old when the final book came out.
I was 13 when the final book came to the shelves.
George R.R. Martin and J.K. Rowling both got a ton of their inspiration from J.R.R. Tolkien.
The Prisoner of Askaban is definatly a fav. [3]. A LOT comes to " Dance with the Devil in the pale Moonlight..."
I am reading the books, and something that really helps is to imagine that the movies were written in chapters, like a serie, so that explain why the pace of the movies seem to slow down and then go fast again xD,
As you watch more, the cast gets older and the story gets far darker!
Books are much deeper in lore and characters and very much worth a read. If you watch all 8 movies, I'll be here
We are planning on it!
The first two films are kiddie films but after that they get darker and darker … and better and better!
Ron has five older brothers. Bill and Charlie are grown and out on their own. Percy the perfect prefect is next, he's in his last year when Harry starts, he's the one who tells Harry who Snape is. The twins are Fred and George, malcontents, pranksters, and overall good blokes to not have mad at you, they are a couple of years older than Ron. The last Weasely is introduced in the next movie, and we also meet the Weasely dad. Along with the family home, The Burrow.
In the book, Rin is injured because he replaces the horse himself, and is hit directly by the opposing queen during the chess game. The director didn't want that, so we are left windering why Ron is hurt by a fall of only a couple of feet.
You will notice that these films will get better and better, but also darker and darker. My favorite is probably number 6.. HP and The Half Blood Prince.
Hagred actor passed away recently. ( Robbie Coltrane) .
Harry's aunt. She was in andor . ( mrs andor mother)
This movie is for 11 year olds, the next is for 12 year olds and so on. The older they get the more adults can enjoy it. I personally love 5 and 6.
Prefer books to the movies but I love & enjoy both. I work as a nanny so over the years I’ve read the books & watched the movies countless times with my young charges. I’ve also read the books on my own.
I was in my early 30’s when the first book was released but I didn’t start reading the books until late 2001, right before the first movie came out. My godson had all of the books that had been released at that point & really wanted to go see the movie. I told him I would take him if I could borrow his HP books so I would have an idea what it was all about. I read the books in two weeks, gave them back to my godson & then went out & bought my own copies. My godson & I went to see the first movie together & I was truly hooked on the story of Harry Potter.
As a nanny I’ve read the books with the children in my care dozens of times. After we finished each book we watch the movie. I’ve helped with school projects involving Harry Potter including a 8th grade term project on the wand lore in the books & a high school senior project on the politics in the Harry Potter series & how they compare with history & the politics of today.
The story of Harry Potter is timeless, extraordinary, inspiring & magical in every sense of the word.
It’s always fascinating to see reactors that haven’t read the books! I’m 70 and read the books as an adult, which are so much richer than the movies. Some adults who only watched the movies go on to read the books.
Harry was almost 1 year old when his parents were murdered.
The movies kind of make Ron the comic relief. In the books he's a much more complex character and a good pal.
Happy Christmas is what the British usually say. Harry was 1 year old when his parents were killed. This movie is an introduction movie to the characters, as the go on they get darker.
Oh okay!
Sorry, I,m British. Never heard Happy Christmas in all my life. It,s always been Merry Christmas.
@@Anthony-tq9so Then you must have been living under a rock! Literally everyone says it! Plus it is on cards and decorations and signs. Weird that you have never seen it/said it if you live in the UK.
Really? We have several Brits in the comments saying they say “Happy Christmas”. We had never heard that as Americans.
The movies get more sophisticated and MUCH darker as they go along. Each movie is a year at Hogwarts. The production gets better too. The first is as you say a lot of introduction and world building. The books had of course MUCH more in them; the fifth book was approaching 1000 pages so the movies, especially after the first three diverge a bit and leave a lot out. So I made sure to read each book before I saw the movie. I still have all my books, most of which were bought the day they were released (there were big events all over the country on release day, with parties at midnight, it was a thing!) The first book was really gauged for the 11 year old; when it became evident the series would continue Rowling allowed them to mature along with the three protagonists. If I had only one, I'd choose the books but I am a book kind of guy. I had to wait years for some of them to be released but it was always worth it.
Do indeed watch the rest of the series, it's um "Cracking good!!" Yes. It gets even better, many plot twists and fun times to be had and much evil to overcome.
First one is definitely made for kids. Starting with the third movie, older demographics can really get something out of it also.
I subscribed and turned on all notifications because I expect you to watch the rest of the films! They don’t all stay charming and childlike, you’ll end up bawling your eyes out later in the series. I hope you stick with it!
My favorite thing in this movie is the fact that the teacher found them out past curfew so they send them to detention in the forbidden forest that was told at the beginning of the movie could cause a very bad death. As the movies progress the movies become way more adult, and you will notice.
Yes, and when the student dies, they will never break curfew again, will they?
Remember...there are no Wizarding lawyers.
Just to explain so you continue with the story, (not trying to force you, but convince you) The books also the movies were made in a way that the audience can grow with as the characters also grows, so because the 1st movie Harry is 11, seem more childish but each movie gets a little darker.
Quick BTW... 'Merry Christmas' is strictly an American saying... in Europe, they say 'Happy Christmas'. Something to separate us from our European Roots.
I'm in the UK and we say both, usually it's "merry christmas".
I loooved this review cause I love Harry Potter. My favorite one is Prisoner of Azkaban (3). You should most definitely watch them all. They get better and better and has a great ending.
Thanks Nina!! 😘
This came out when my daughter was 13. We enjoyed these movies as a family and I still watch them myself. They hold up and are not just for kids. #3 is my favorite one of the series, although they take a darker turn from #4 on. I hope you keep doing these. They are more than worthwhile and I look forward to your reactions. By the way, you can tour the actual sets at Warner Brothers/Leavesden Studios in London, UK. It’s a big attraction unto itself. I’ve done it and it’s marvelous! Even at my age, one can have fun with Harry Potter. I’ve been sorted into Ravenclaw, my daughter into Slytherin, and I have an official replica of Gilderoy Lockhart’s wand! He was also Ravenclaw and you will meet him in the 2nd movie. Hope you continue with these! Great video!
Thank you!!
Your comments on Ron show the movies did him dirty. They did his whole family dirty. Without them, nothing would ever get done in the books. But in the movies, they made ron an idiot an gave all his lines to Hermione. She is smart, but he grew up in this world an is a fountain of world knowledge. An they relegated his family to nothing but extras.
Things get much, much darker as the series goes on. Ron is done a bit of a disservice as in the books he is brave and resourceful - not the slight idiot he appears here.
Hermione's name is pronounced "Her-my-onee" basically, fun story I grew up reading the books so in my head I pronounced it very differently. I live in India and that was a name I had never heard in my life.
I've never understood why it's called the Sorcerer's Stone in America. Was that just to underline that it's about wizardry? Seems silly to me, the Philosopher's Stone is a famous legend with a lot of lore.
BTW in history of alchemy, and in original British issue of the book, it was "... Philosopher's Stone". When the book was to be published in the USA, the title was dumbed down to ".... Sorcerer's Stone" so as not to confuse American readers. And so it stayed in the movie as well. True story.
Definitely watch the rest. It is worth the trip in clicks alone.
But I grew up with this franchise (and judging by your comments we seem to be close enough in age), alongside Star Wars, superheroes, all that jazz and to me it always complimented the more sci fi elements and the themes run deep ESPECIALLY if you read the books
Speaking of John Williams and his score, he actually repeated music from "Attack of the Clones" in the next movie, "Chamber of Secrets." They were both released in the same year.
The last one of these that I watched was the third one. Maybe if they ever get on a streaming service that I have without an extra cost or without annoying ads, I might continue.
Continue, each book and movie gets more darker and the character’s development gets bigger by the 3rd on you won’t want to stop.
Im sure lots of people have already said it, but you should definitely watch the 2nd one. Each story becomes a little more mature and a little darker. By the time you get to the last couple theyre straight up adult movies.
Welcome to the incrediblely wonderful rabbit hole of a ride called the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Enjoy it well. 😊
This is the song that the Sorting Hat sings in the book version of Sorcerer's Stone/Philosopher's Stone before he sorted the first year's students into their houses;
"Oh you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
if you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folks use any means
To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!"
🧙♂️🧙♀️🪄✨⚡🖤
BTW, I was sorted into Gryffindor and my brother was sorted into Slytherin in the Pottermore (now called Wizarding World) official website. The website was created by the Sony company and the author of the Harry Potter books, JK Rowling. I had to take a fun and special personality test to find out what house I am in.
Go go Gryffindor!
❤💛❤🦁🏰🪄👍
Being from scotland with the mysticism and lore "even my my surname sangster,we sing sangs instead of songs on the east coast,so songster is a musical storyteller haha" it's more like a diary of most childrens childhood 😂
Hogwarts takes great pride in never having a student fail - they just get killed if they don't keep up with their studies. If the student is still alive after the school year ends, he or she moves up. If not, well, its a self solving problem.
I love watching people react to this franchise. It is extremely well written. There are people and things introduced in early books/movies that only become important later in the series. Also some plot twists. There are of course a number of character arcs. One of the least expected but most satisfying is Neville Longbottom.
Keeping it 💯 the first two movies are kinda kids movies and aren’t my favorite. But as you said, the actors and audience grew with the franchise, so stick it out and you’ll be rewarded with meatier storylines and more grownup themes. I love both the books and the movies, each in their own way. The books of course allow for more in-depth character background and development, but the movies brought them to life and do a great job of telling the story. Enjoy the ride!
I love watching people get into the Harry Potter movies. Since you haven't read the books (though you really should!), you need to watch these movies closer together. I just came upon your channel tonight, and I see that you watched this one a month ago and there isn't a part 2. Maybe you already watched it but just haven't uploaded it. But even if you don't want to have further videoed reactions for this, you should really give the rest of the series a try. It is amazing! Thanks for y'all's reactions, though. It was fun!
Part 2 might be coming soon 😁🥰
Please, don't look at Harry an Hermione as A-students and Ron as C-
The movies did Ron dirty, Ron is just as important as Hermione. For some reason the directors painted Emma Watson as Supergirl, which is not the case in the books.
Hermione is a walking library, Ron is the one with the personal skills who knows everyone, (Hrmione is quite socially awkward).
If the movies did Ron dirty, they were even worse for Ginny.
"Happy Christmas" is used in the UK, and since Harry Potter is an UK franchise...
Thanks! Didn’t know that is what the British say.
In the books, Harry was a year and a few months old when Voldemort killed his parents. The movie really screwed up using a baby in the opening scene.
The movie start getting darker from the second one and more intense from the third movie on which is actually my favorite book and movie the third one. Their acting also gets better over time and they get used to playing their parts more as well. The actor of Dumboldore passed away after the third movie if I remember correctly so they used a new actor in the forth one and until the 8th movie. Tecnically it's 7 books but the the movie was split into two so that they could get everything that was important into it.
Don’t feel bad, I can never remember the names, I call them “Harry Potter $x” as well. My eldest grew up with these, I took him to see all of them as they came out and he’s read all the books, many times. I like them because it reminds me of those times of him as a kid, they were magical for that generation.
Great reaction! I hope you continue with the movies... they get better and darker as you go, but I bet you'll enjoy the journey. I am a huge Star Wars fan, but have also enjoyed Harry Potter as well.
1 and 2 are kinda more for kids but 3 is where it gets really good. I'd say the third movie is one of my favorite movies of all time let alone in the series. If the third one doesn't get you hooked then you're probably not gonna like the rest.😂
As the kids get older, the stories get more complicated and more interesting.
The British say Happy Christmas, we say Merry Christmas.
Glad you ladies finally got around to these! The first couple are definitely charming but I think they get better as the franchise progresses and the storytelling matures. I started watching when the first movie came out. I was managing the old Northgate Crossing 6 behind the Walmart in Chattanooga/Hixson, TN. The location closed many years ago but this will always be one of my favorite film screenings. As the release date for the film approached, we were receiving tons of calls about showtimes at the time, I had no idea about the books, and was very confused why all these people were so anxious to see the film. After I screened it the week before release, I immediately purchased all the books that had been written up to that point which were the first four and read them as quickly as possible. After that, I got each book as it was released and screened each movie before they came out. I have been a huge fan of the franchise ever since. The movie filled me with the same childhood wonder and excitement that films like the Wizard of Oz bring. I hope you both continue to give the franchise a chance. I don’t think you will be disappointed. Also, my favorite, single film is probably part three. Have a great week and Happy Thanksgiving!!😊🦃
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Some of my younger friends were very into the books as they released, but I hadn't given them much thought. When the first movie came out, I went and saw it and enjoyed it. Still didn't get around to the books until after I saw the second movie. At that point I didn't want to wait for the movies to read the story. So I bought books 3, 4, and 5. I then went back and read the first 2 books. From that point I was hooked. I got Book 6 and Book 7 at midnight releases, and saw all the movies opening weekends. I absolutely love it and am glad more people are finding their way to the franchise.
I would tell Draco when he first met Harry, "I can manage fine, thank you. I'm not an old fusspot like you."
In the books Harry gets a single used sock for Christmas from the Dursleys. Yes please watch the rest.
Dang!
Yes, the Weasley family is pretty huge. Ron, the twins, a sister and 3 other older brothers, mommy and daddy Weasley makes up the family!
I have loved Harry Potter since my late 30's or was it early 40's loaned the first few books from my niece, read the rest as they came out, loved them been rereading them ever since, Watched each movie as it came out and many times since. then reread the books. 61 now still mad on this.
My favorite HP movie? The final one. This series builds up to the conclusion.
