The Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling were taking the world by storm even before the final books had even been published. Naturally, a film adaptation was needed. With the success of the books, the movies were pretty much guaranteed to be a success, and that they were-- bringing in billions of dollars at the box office.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone definitely raises some questions though. Like why is Dumbledore doing such public magic in an effort to not be seen doing magic? Why leave Harry with horrible people and not check in on him? Why send so many letters when Howlers are a thing? Why do they celebrate Christmas? Why did Harry get rewarded for essentially making the situation more dangerous? Why is everyone so happy that he killed a teacher?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Hey Potter Heads, would you like to see the entire franchise's Pitch Meetings?
As long as you don't roast stuff that was explained in the books.
We need a J.K. Rowling Pro Tips
I don't see how you're ever going to buy Canada if you don't show the whole franchise
Oh, yes, please, that would be absolutely fantastic!
Of course, I thought we were still on our mission to buy canada i decided
"Hey everybody, shut the hell up!" - Dumbledore said calmly.

Now that I'm thinking about it, the daily life of Quirell and Voldemort sounds like a hilarious sitcom.
May I enlighten you with the existence of A Very Potter Musical?
Watch the musical
@@astrobookwormsinger I still can't believe Harry Potter ended up being a main character on Glee.
Not to mention that in the books, Fred and George throw snowballs at Quirell landing on his turban, hitting Voldemort in the face...
One and a Half Men?
Does anyone else ever wonder if Voldemort ever helped Quirrel with his lesson plans?
Ahahahah the squad planning the lessons 😂 I need to see that!
"Hey uh, voldy, which of the Unforgivable Curses should I teach the sixth years about on Thursday?"
"...Are you seriously asking me that?"
"I.. yes."

6:59 "Everybody shut the hell up, because Harry Potter here killed one of the teachers with his bare hands."
I really like how this is phrased. It makes it seem like Dumbledore is more focused with how awesome it was rather than Harry being heroic.
😂😂it was the most amazing thing he'd ever seen
It reminds me of how Beavis and Butthead talk, "Everbody, shut the hell up. Uh... 'cause like, this was pretty cool and stuff." huh huh huh huh
In the books, during Christmas, Fred and George Weasley repeatedly hit Quirrell in the back of his head with snowballs. Imagine that... They were unknowingly hitting Voldemort in the face with snowballs. Found that absolutely hilarious.
Good thing neither the balls caused the turban to fall off, nor did anyone ever get the idea to bully him by stealing his turban in the middle of the day.

Yeah, sometimes I feel like Snape hated James so much because he wanted to protect Lily's innocence, sort of like a protective brother. This is why James' Patronus is a stag and Snape's is another doe. Does are a symbol of innocence and they aren't sexualy attracted to other does. I know people think Snape was obsessed with Lily and she got "friendzoned" but I really think all he wanted was to be her friend. I mean, Sirius seemed pretty obsessed with James too, and they were also childhood best friends
Always
@@aceash459 That's..... actually *_worse_* than Snape being sexually attracted to Lily and jealous that she chose James. That implies that Snape sees Lily more as an object than as an actual person, an object that he feels he should have control over, what with your idea that he wanted to prevent her from "losing her innocence". It also suggests some pretty messed up, misogynistic views on female sexuality.
A sitcom of Quirrell and Voldemort’s face as roommates would have been epic.
Look up a very Potter musical, and enjoy the bromance
Yes
Maybe add an "h" after the "s".
And they were roomates...

My favorite thing about Hogwarts is that the whole series I was thinking at the end all the houses were going to come together but....nope, Slytherins are just all irredeemably evil. And the teachers know this. And they teach them magic anyway.
This was my one gripe with the closing. Rowling kinda showed this split-off with Snape, Slughorn and Draco (though none of their history are clean) but never really applied it to the entire house. Only during a random interview she explicitly stated that Slughorn brought some Slytherins along to help but it would've been much better to have seen/read this when it was happening
@@FirebirdPrince And to be fair to the Slytherin students, it really doesn't make a ton of sense for them to help defend Hogwarts considering how many of their parents are on the other side. Why should they fight a hopeless battle against their own families? There's a reason Aberforth suggesting holding them hostage instead.
I always wondered: since the kids already knew before the sorting, that "There's not a witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin.", what are you supposed to do, when you are put there? It's like, let's foster that child into actually turning bad, since the roots are already there. No need to work against it and prevent future Voldemorts to develop.
@@Tchika it’s a scheme to keep the Aurors in business.
@@Tchika As much as I like the line aren't there other schools besides Hogwarts? It clearly was meant as a non literal.
"He chooses to be friends with Ron instead who's so mean to Hermione that she cries in a bathroom."
The truth here tho
Hermione herself was quite annoying too. They were just kids after all.

@@MossyCreeper okay let's get him all the way off that
"you think he went to scratch his head and poked the Dark Lord in the eye?" Oh my gods, it hurts from laughing. I had never thought of that, thank you.
"He's super cute... don't get too attached."
Although portrayed in the movies by male snowy owls (which are the only ones that are pure white), Hedwig is a female.
Indeed. For a time though I also thought Hedwig was male because in Hungarian we don't have/know this name and Hungarian as a language doesn't have male vs female pronouns (it's always he/she/it in one), so unless someone specifies "female owl", you would have only the name to guess by. And so I guessed. Wrongly 😁
Ryan has no excuse though. 😉
I am now convinced JK killed Hedwig because she realized she was trans.

"How so?"

"Oh ok"
The story of Harry Potter is Dumbledore finding a child in a bad situation (dead parents) taking that child and placing him in a worse situation (abusive parents) then using his popularity as a famous person to get Harry to do what he wants to train him to be able to kill public enemy number 1 by having Harry fight with various obstacles at Hogwarts. Basically Dumbledore is trying to groom a child soldier and the only reason it is considered acceptable is because he kills the big bad guy.
Don't forget the part about grooming him to basically kill himself when the time comes.
It'd be like if Qui-Gon had only rescued Anakin from slavery with the intent of grooming him to destroy the... oh wait. Uh... just how many non-droid aliens were on that Trade Federation ship when Anakin blew it up?
Dang, mentor characters in Chosen One fantasy are kinda messed up when you think about it.
Sure, but what choice did he have? it was either ruin harry's life or let Voldemort take over and ruin everyone's lives
@@ronnieveillon1162 I mean if we are saying that a final battle between Harry and Voldermort was inevitable that's fine but maybe they could have just taught Harry very well how to fight a duel rather than some convoluted plan where dumbledore dies and wands change allegiance and Harry ends up with a wand that can defeat voldermort.
@@matthewtalbot-paine7977 I think JK just wanted to kill Dumbledore to establish some stakes

Only in Gryffindor, killing a teacher would give you a lot of points. I've always thought of Dumbledore acting like Gryffindor's Snape when he was a teacher.
Yeah, Harry should have gotten expelled for sure. 🙄 What a juvenile delinquent...
Why didn’t I think of this at school! Damn my grades could have been so much better
@@sabrinamiller3671 not expelled for protecting himself from being killed. And technically, Harry didnt kill him in the books.
@@denizkenger52 I was being sarcastic.
Why didn't Draco get any points when he offed Prof Snape?
I just realized how little Harry is affected by the first time he killed a person with his bare hands. That should be sort of...traumatizing? For an 11 year old, maybe?
Let's not think about it too much. =)
It also calls to question why Harry still couldn't see the thestrels till after Cedric died even though he literally murdered quirrell
@@bekkimcgrath why of course it's because she only came up with thestrals in the 5th book lol. One of those things where people have to bend over backwards to try and excuse the continuity issue. Like, uuuuuh, he wasn't really alive/human so it didn't count. Sure
@@Kelarys I mean to be fair that’s how writing is. If something is created later on you gotta handwave or excuse why it is only just now a thing
@@Kelarys Harry didn't kill Quirrell or even see him die in the books. It's just adaptation dumbness.
Missed opportunity:
"And during the entire school year, Harry never came in physical contact with his teacher, even accidentally?"
"Uhhh."
"I mean what if Harry's hand accidentally touches his teachers hand when he's turning in a paper?"
Funny thing that when Harry first met him with Hagrid he tried to shake his hand but he refused
@@AuntieL_ATL Yes. But in the book, Harry and Quirrell did shake hands at that meeting (because Voldemort wasn't fused with Quirrell yet).
Was Quirrel originally in Slytherin? Might be a good fit for him. I was also surprised that Pettigrew was in Gryffindor.
@@sambeetle6080 Unless I'm mistaken, Quirell was a ravenclaw I think.
Well to be Fair I don't think I ever touched a teacher
But then Dumbledore is like, " Hey everybody, shut the hell up! Cuz Harry Potter here killed one of the teachers with his bare hands! Good job Harry! Here’s a bunch of points! Gryffindor Wins!"

I'm pretty sure nevell got the point for standing up to his friends
Suit: This seems arbitrary like crazy.
Writer: Yes, it does!
Suit: Wow wow wow... wow.
@@escandersanchez65 Yeah, it kinda bugged me that Nevell got points standing up to his friends, but Hermione didn't lose points putting a spell on him.
"Hey everybody shut the hell up because Harry Potter here killed one of our teachers!"
-Dumbledore 2021
Dumbledore said calmly…..
😂😂
Dumbledore dies in 1997, so...
Also worth noting, we never see Harry perform a single spell in the first movie.
Eh, technically? I guess, but that statement kinda needs an asterisk next to it when you consider all the accidental magic he does (Olivander's shop and the zoo scene come to mind) and he is shown _attempting_ a levitation spell, though he doesn't complete it.
Didn't he lift his broom)
@@leonpaelinck I think the broom automatically levitates and the rider just controls where and how fast it goes.
@@allthelonely4287 It's not exactly clear, though, what constitutes a "spell". Is commanding the broom into his hand by saying "up" a spell, even though he didn't use a wand and brooms in the Harry Potter universe are (possibly) sentient? We've seen that spells can be cast without saying the incantation (i.e. "accio", "stupefy", or "wingardium leviosa") just with a wave of the wand, so does the carnage he causes in Olivander's shop count, since he used a wand but no incantations, or is formal training required to qualify any use of magic as a "spell"?
Didn’t harry make the protective casing of the snake disappear so his cousin fell in?

Seems a lot like a scenario in which someone gets kidnapped.
@@16shogunelitegreen *Dursleys. Sorry but I’m such a stickler for anything Potter-related lol .-.
it's not though -- it's just pretty much an elaboration on the fantasy a lot of kids that aren't happy or don't fit in or definitely are in bad situations or even are just mad at their families have. Pretty much every other kid gets to be a wizard and stay with their families, including the muggle born ones so it's not like the message is either/or.
Don't... don't you want kids from abusive families like Dursleys to want to go away?..

@@joelwahlstedt yeah there are endless movies. But i dont think he was planning to do a video on the whole series and then going back and doing them individually. Yes, there are endless movies but there are only a certain number of popular movies he can make pitch meetings for that will pull mass audiences.
I love that the phrase "Barely an inconvenience" is in EVERY one of these.

@@SelvesteSand Actually, it was super easy, barely an inconvenience. He even said it twice.
Sometimes twice.
"Well we don't introduce them until a future movie so they might as well not exist right now" sums up my problem with the whole series so brilliantly

That "I'll miss you..." at the end was strangely wholesome.

I have to say that I think the Pitch Meetings need to expand their genres a little. My wife was watching a Romantic Comedy the other day and I found myself dropping a ton of Pitch Meeting quotes that were extremely appropriate. Amazing how many time "so the movie can happen" works in a RomCom.
Romantic comedies are entirely based on "barely an inconvenience". 😅 Ryan'd have to cover the full 120 minutes of the movie. Not that I'd mind.
Romantic comedies just always have simplistic story structure. I enjoy that genre a lot, but they're often not very profound; easy pitch meeting fuel
I do this all this time while watching movies now. Especially: "Why? Just because. Oh, ok." Or "Why? Because. Fair enough."
RomComs would be too low hanging a fruit.
The entire premise of Pitch Meetings is based around blockbusters and popular films.
To be fair, Harry making a total mess of Ollivander's shop is really of no consequence - it can be cleaned up literally with a wave of a hand (holding wand). Repairing wands would be an issue but they just flew off the shelves, so I doubt anything happened to them.
R.I.P Hagrid 😭, you'll be remembered 🤧
I'm surprised that Ryan didn't mention the plot hole where the YOUNGEST SEEKER IN A CENTURY CAN'T EVEN CATCH ONE OF THE 1000 LETTERS FALLING DOWN!!!
Exactly! These letters are covering the entire floor and he's beaten to any of them by his uncle as he grasps the air. He seeks, but can't quite find anything.
To be fair, those letters didn't have Snitch speed, they had regular ass letter speed.
@@commandercaptain4664 Ha. Now I picture Harry's eyesight being so bad that he's like one of those _Jurassic Park_ dinosaurs who need you to be moving quickly to actually detect you.

Producer: "Can you tell me more about those houses?"
Screenwriter: "There's one for the good guys, one for the bad guys, one for the smart guys and one for the irrelevant guys."
"What the hell is hufflepuff?" "Find!"
i always wished the snape was just a good guy in slitherin. the books almost played him up as such, but ultimately it was a flop. he couldve been a spy. reformed. slitherin couldve been not just a bunch of jerks, but maybe like cunning people, or people who seek power, but maybe for the right reasons? or outcasts. anything. but no. its just like you say. the good guys, the bad guys, the ultimately weak competition for the good guys, and the guys that literally have puff in their name. fans have portrayed hufflepuff as people who lack ambition but not courage etc, which imho is the coolest take on them. and one last side now how t f did rowling justify making hermione gryph and not raven?? like okay sure but also like actually how though.
Hufflepuff is more for losers
You know i can't remember a single hufflepuff or raven claw student.
"Oh, but don't worry, Slytherin is the ambition house, not the evil house."
"Oh, so there are good guys in Slytherin too?"
"Yeah, like the abusive incel teacher, the drunkard teacher who accidentally caused Voldemort's return and pretty much no one else."
"Wow wow wow wow"
Thank you so much for doing them individually! I love that old compilation video, but there is still so much untapped comedic gold.
I can picture the Chamber of Secrets PM for the final scene:
"And then the students and faculty clap together for Hagrid for a solid three minutes straight!"
"Clapping Hagrid is tight!"
As a wizard who was alive for 600 years we all know Flamel had back up stones. He was just smart enough not to tell Dumbledore about them.

@@themexis I always wondered if JKR had that method in mind for horcruxes. I was just rewatching the Ishval arc yesterday.
Considering how horrible some of the spells are in the HP universe I wouldn't be surprised if you'd need to commit genocide on an entire species to create one of those stones.
Flamel’s got stones like a pimp’s got rings.
He prolly wears them too.
“We don’t introduce those until a future movie, so that’s as good as them not existing right now”

Writing is hard...
Also, things existing in past books doesn't mean they are still a thing. I mean, who could've known that time travel would be overpowered?
Considering she introduces things that literally breaks the entire series, yeah.
Port Keys alone should've been a fool proof way for Harry's parents to keep him safe AND keep THEMSELVES safe.
@@unvergebeneid Seriously, writing is _really_ hard.
I feel like wizards celebrating Christmas is less of a religious thing and more of an excuse to share presents and eat lots of food, kinda like most people these days.
Besides, considering that canonically the Salem Witch Trials were treated as a joke, it is quite possible that their Christmas is actually a celebration of one of their most famous pranks ever...
Having to explain that HP joke about the Salem Witch trials to my child was painful and ended with "yeah people actually either used witchcraft as an excuse to murder people they didn't like, or the morons actually BELIEVED THAT WITCHES WERE REAL 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️."
History is nauseating.
Also lots of real people celebrate Christmas and aren’t Christian.
We also have to take into account the fact that many people in the Wizarding world also spend the first decade of their life in our world, and therefore probably celebrated Christmas as kids. It’s very possible the wizards just picked it up as a cultural thing because of that influence.
"And here we have this Wizard called Dumbledore, and he wants to leave little baby Harry with this family, but he doesn't want to be seen doing magic in the Suburbs".
"So what does he do?"
"He does some magic in the Suburbs".
Literally the best line in the whole video.

I thought the "super easy, barely an inconvenience" would be for the 3 basic challenges between the dog and the mirror. Like the teachers placed these challenges to protect the stone from evil wizards, but all the challenges are at the 1st year wizard level. Kinda felt like Fort Knox being protected by 5th grade math or something
Yes, but no. A lot of stuff you hear once in middle school you forget by the time you're adult. That goes for the countermeasure to the Devil's Snare (the plant). The key riddle, the chess riddle and the logical riddle (Snape's riddle which is omitted in the movie) required special skills one of the kids had (Harry: Quiddich champ; Ron: school's best chess player; Hermione: logical mind), but it is less likely for a single wizard to have them.
@@countluke2334 yeah to be fair they are prodigies in their own right.
i personally find it a bit suspicious that all the challenges played to the strengths of the kids, like how the chess one was suited for ron and the potions one hermione, and how harry just so happened to be an excellent quidditch player so he could catch the keys
"we don't introduce those until a later movie, so that's as good as them not existing right now" describes the whole series pretty well, actually
Started crying with laughter when the Ryan being pitched at kept brightly speculating about Voldemort sharing a head with Quirrell 😂😂 He sounded so pleased with his questions
Surprised there wasn't an exchange like:
Screenwriter: "So the baby ends up being protected from Voldemort's spell due to her loving sacrifice"
Producer: "So the All Powerful Dark Wizard didn't know that Love could stop his strongest spell",
Screenwriter: "Well Nobody had every sacrificed themselves for someone else before.... So No"
Producer: "A Very Unloving World"
In the Harry Potter universe, Edwin Starr sang about Love instead of War.
I believe just about this exact exchange was in the original pitch meeting.
The first part's pretty easy to explain. Voldemort didn't anticipate that because it fell under "things he considers worthless and thus didn't learn about, and doesn't account for." It's probably not a totally unprecedented event, or Dumbledore wouldn't have had anywhere to pull that theory from in the first place. In fairness though, JK Rowling later decided the more exact details of the sacrifice were important, I suspect because she realized this sort of thing would probably have happened more than she'd originally realized.
@@jacobd1984 You'll never go broke betting that JK Rowling went back and retconned her own lore.
My understanding is that for the protection thing to work that the person has to just stand there and let themselves be murdered. Not a situation that happens often when someone is sacrificing their life for someone else.
Lady: “Anything off the trolley dears?”
Harry: “chocolate frogs yo”
Ron: “chocolate frogs are TIGHT!”
Could you imagine if this actually happened?! Lol. That would hilarious! 😄😄
your mothers love is tight... wait... forget i said that
"Yo"? I don't think the writer-guy would say "yo".
He didn't cover half that stuff, like Berties every flavour beans and people being able to identify every flavour. "ahhh, yes, this one is ear wax, from an alpaca if I am not mistaken"
Lady: “Anything off the trolley dears?”
Harry: “YES.”
So if Harry just handshaked professor Quirrell he would just turn into dust?
"Hi, Harry, I'm professor Quirrell, nice to meet... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Watching some of the OG pitch meetings it's amazing how much better he's gotten with his portrayals
I remember an interview with Ryan. He came across as such a warm and humble guy who nevertheless knows his talent for comedy is solid and he's gonna share it with the world. And how much more bearable is this dark world for his contribution?! Hopefully everyone is subscribed to his own personal Ryan George channel with the epic saga of "The First Guy Who..."
But he also said he has trouble enjoying movies now that he rips them apart for a living. He's probably doubled the pitch meeting playlist since then. I hope he takes a break soon. He's more than earned it. Imagine the time that goes into these comedic plot dissections ontop of the mere run times.
Also, screen rant should be paying his rent for life for propping up their channel
Maybe he plays sports instead :D Just hope he doesn't start tearing reality apart too much, else he will become a 19th century villain
Honestly, because of videos like this, I enjoy movies less as well. Or at least become more critical of it and more often see the plot holes and "stupidity."
I mean... we can nitpick movies all day and night, but part of the fun of movies is the willing suspension of disbelief. We buy into some things not making real-world sense so we can derive enjoyment and entertainment from the spectacle. Star Wars can be inconsistent, but it's still entertaining!
I firmly believe you can criticize movies and still love to watch them.
I don't make any UA-cam videos and I haven't been able to enjoy movies in 3 years. It's not me or Ryan, it's the movies.
to be fair... I'm sure that screen rant does pay him something. so that's good
Producer: "Didn't you already pitch this to me as a full series of 8 movies?"
Screenwriter: "I'm gonna need you to get all the way off my back about what i've already pitched to you"
At least they will told in more detail :)
Let me get off of that thing.
Suit: Getting off peoples' backs is TIGHT.
Harry surviving the attack basically made him a weak horcrux, which corrupts everyone around it. The fact that the Dursleys didn't strangle him as a toddler is proof they were damn-near saintly.
ha ha!!!! I'm sure JK never thought of that herself
Interesting theory!!
Hey, that also explains Ron!
Also explains Hermione's ruthlessness, committing blackmail and being racist towards centaurs and abandoning Umbridge to be abused by the centaurs she had previously dismissed as "horses."
@@teddyhaines6613 Is that real? Umbridge got abused by horses? That's totally a picture I wanted to have in my head.
I'm so excited for individual pitches for each movie!
I cannot express how happy I got when I realized he’ll be doing the franchise
Me too, I was so excited that he'll be covering all of the movies, can't wait to see what Ryan has to say about it!
Same! Can't wait for 7 more of these :)
"Oh, doing a franchise is tight!"
"What?"
"Me, Batman, Superman...we've done things, man"
@UCDKfip-JvlkczxIB_d6RfrA he covered the franchisee entirely in one vid, but now he’s doing them one by one
It's necessary in order to buy Canada
Me: Wasn’t there already a Pitch Meeting for the entire Harry Potter franchise?
Screen Rant: Yes, there is. But, the new Fantastic Beasts trailer just dropped, so I need you to get all the way off my back about that video.
Me: Oh, ok. Let me get off of that thing.
At least each film will be told in detail :)
Aww Ryan, I miss you too! Merry Christmas, because that's what I want you to have.
"Did they wish good night to each other?" left me in stitches )))) 🤣🤣
To be fair to Dumbledore, the swiching the lights scene makes more sence in the book, they all just shutdown with one flick of the deluminator, But I guest this is more "cinematic"
It shows that this is 'magic' and he isn't armed with a small EMP or some kind of tech
What I want to know is if ever Voldemort’s face got smooshed up or he got a little suffocated when Quirell slept on it or turned around in bed…
While the version in the movie is really attention getting, so are the outfits for many of the wizards, so I call it a was for which would be more attention getting. The Lamps turning into fireflies that zoom off would be notable, but so would extra fancy Santa Claus in late summer.
@@farfaraway4285 My theory is that Even if his face was always there, hence the need to hide it, it was not funtioning most of the time, it only works when he wants to speak to someone directly.
@@farfaraway4285 Well he doesnt have his own respiratory system, nor is it probably connected to Quirrell, so effectively its just a ghost face. Was it ever explained in the book how exactly Voldemort actually got attached to Quirrell, though? Cause as far as I remember, they pretty much treat it as a dissease. Like "yeah, he was abroad and caught a Voldemort"
I take it back, the "scratch his head and hit the dark lord in the eye" was the best line by far. I started laughing so hard you could hear it outside
Ah was that you?!
Cool how you put the funniest line in the comments so it's the first thing I see before even getting to watch the video.
@@cleverusername9369 I am sorry man... Not used to my comment making it up the chain... Sorry for ruining the joke for you :(
I really like "shut the hell up harry killed a teacher with his bear hands"
Were you inside at the time?
You forgot the part where a gigantic homeless looking stranger shows up and bullies the family into giving up custody of Harry so he can take Harry to a "Magic Alleyway"
YES PLEASE!!! I would love to see a screen rant done for each individual movie! Thank you. Also this one was great so just keep doing what your doing and it'll be perfect.
“Rich people get what they want”
“That is true”
F*cking golden
The delivery is so perfect
Ryan: Maybe let's not think about this too much
Star kids: Maybe let's make a 3 hour long musical hyperfixating on this
🎶 _You really must agree_
_When you look at you and me_
_We're different, different as can be_ 🎶
@@Runix1 I liked the part where he allowed Quirrel to call him Voldemort. There was some really solid reasoning behind that one :D
"Well aren't we an odd couple?!"
Oh man, lol. And then there are sequel musicals 🤣🤣🤣🤣
and they did it so well
oh man, you missed the perfect gag where after Pitch Guy says the title "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone" you could have Producer Guy say "what's a philosopher?" and then have pitch guy say "oh sorry, those were the British notes. it's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"
i still find it hilarious that they were worried about the actual title in the US (philosophy having been described as a heretical religious system in certain southern states), so they thought 'you know what sounds less like heresy than the act of critical thinking... SORCERY, that'll work.'
ah, focus groups & test screenings ...
There is no way that is even remotely close to true. Nowhere in the United States is philosophy described as a "heretical religious system", and certainly not in the southern states where there are some of the best university philosophy departments in the country, lmao.
The title change has everything to do with the difference between British English and American English.
@@Laotzu.Goldbug oh it most certainly has, it may have been in the 80's/90's, but the stigma on the word remains to this day, and is the given reason for the name change.
Your faulty opinion is irrelevant.
@@davidaward82 I don't believe a single word you have said, and I doubt you have a single shred of evidence to back it up
@@Laotzu.Goldbug like I said before, your faulty opinion is irrelevant.
Enjoy your ignorance.
Am I the only one who felt bad for Slytherin at the end losing the house cup. Like okay we know atleast 3 of them weren't great but I imagine the other Slytherin students had to atleast word hard for ALL those points.
Harry is the 1% change my mind
i hate the way ron gets 50 points for being good at chess, 50 points is about an 1/7 of an entire house working for an entire year
@@starwarsjoey228 fIFtY PoInTs tO mR. rONaLd WeaSLeY foR 'beINg goOd aT cHEsS'
Honestly I genuinely want to know how Slytherin get so many points because every Slytherin student we see tend to be assholes and I can’t imagine any teacher other than Snape giving them so many points. Oh, wait, Snape exists. That’s why
Yeah extreme favoritism by the headmaster haha I thought that was pretty lame when I rewatched it
“So that’s a happy turn of events. This child took this man’s life fairly easily.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love it when Ryan demonstrates the only thing the protagonist did was... be there. Or make things worse. :)
So, if Professor Quirrell rolls on his back in his sleep, would he suffocate the dark lord Voldemort? No pressure...
"Harry's rich and rich people get what they want"
"That is True"
Jesus this line almost killed me 🤣 not to self don't eat when watching Ryan George videos lol
I think this is the moment when The Producer Guy breaks character for the first time. Bold move!
Remember kids, if the penalty for breaking a law is just a fine, it's only a crime for poor people.
I thought the Mother's Love bit was my favorite, but this one was even better.
Almost dying is tight!
“Oh his mother’s love is tight”
“Oh I don’t know about that, sir”
What happened between you and Lily, Ryan?
Swooped in on a Nimbus 3000 and got the digits while she and James were "taking a break".
I think Snape would agree lol
I don't think you got the joke. He's talking about how incestuous that sounds. 💁🏻♀
@@WiLDCHiLD. Sex jokes people can easily misinterpret are tight!
It was only when Voldermort got full blast of Quirell's use of the Porcelain Throne, that he decided to remove his nose.
8:00
Ryan already did Harry Potter Pitch meetings but due to Ryan's authenticity and loveable persona he can even reboot old pitch meetings and I would still watch them. I sometimes go back and watch older pitch meetings
As I’ve gotten older it’s really set in how terrible almost every adult is in the entire series.
Well, no, not really, they all had good intentions and good reasons. Dumbledore, for example, was hoping for the best when he gave custody of Harry Potter to his family (they are, after all, his surviving family). A quite logical move, as far as he knew at the time. His uncle and aunt are the one at fault, though to be honest Dumbledore should have taken back Harry earlier, once he realised they were abusive.
@@leovk5779 dumbledore sent him to family he knew had been abusive to his mother, let them abuse him, and then lied to him about wanting to kill him to kill Voldemort and created no plan or help to find the majority of the horcruxes beyond tasking some children to do it. Snape was abusive, Mcconagal was cruel and didn’t listen. Really the only solid adult is hagrid.
@Alphonse the safest place was to be raised by dumbledore, he admitted it, but said he couldn’t do it because he knew harry had to die and didn’t want to get attached.
@@Primenumber19 Her mother's family was not abusive to her. Only her sister, but they were only children, so Dumbledore hoped the grown-up aunt would be able to overcome the contempt she had for her dead sister and raise Harry with love. He did gave them a stern frightening talking to at the end about being abusive. Also yes as Alphonse said, he had to because of the charm's protection too that relied on his aunt's presence.
Dumbledore makes other mistakes throughout the books, but I never saw it as him being terrible, only him being human and not all-knowing. Despite how wise he appears, he is not omniscient, but in the end, his plan worked (though it required a lot of suffering by Harry, yes.)
McGonagal is never cruel, she does not always listen yes, but I always saw it as her trying to not encourage Harry and his friends to actively look for trouble. If she was enthusiastic about their adventures, it would defeat her goal, keep them safe.
No question about Snape, though we do learn why (which is no excuse).
Hagrid is great, but he is not always the most responsible, sometime putting them in danger (ex sending them to see the spiders XD).
@@Primenumber19 the reason why he had Harry stay with his relatives is because his mother’s protection would work there. However, did he really even need that protection from birth to Hogworts first year? He really only needed the protection by the third or so movie/book. One last note: Harry learned humility thanks to his abusive environment... I guess that’s a good thing
This man is, hands down, one of the best actors I’ve ever seen.
In just a few more years, he'll rival Stephen Colbert.
wait, which one? the producer guy or the screenwriter guy?
@@joaa89 The screenwriter, obviously. The other one is a hack.
@@GS-lq2is Agreed that the screenwriter is good. The producer guy, in addition to being a hack, is just plain ugly. Whereas the screenwriter guy is an attractive stud, much better than that hideous sight of Producer Guy.
@@mwplaylist2890 True, very true. I only wish that the handsome screenwriter had a more commanding mustache.
This is my favorite so far! Every night before bed I wonder about Quarell and Voldemort saying good night or if they had an argument that day and aren’t talking.
That stuff about Dumbledore giving Harry loads of points for killing a teacher, being the last face he saw, is absolute gold
You pitch anything you want, whenever you want. These are just gold and I'm so glad to be subscribed to you !
"Why would they have a house for just the evil kids?" "Do you think they said goodnight to each other or it was just awkward silence?"
Asking the REAL questions.
Do they sleep upright or downright though?
Please don’t think about it too much sir
They weren't all bad. Tonks was in Slytherin.
I mean it wasn't actually a house of just evil kids. Merlin was in Slytherin who was the most well known Wizard to ever live and also very loved... You even got Slughorn, Snape as well.
Slytherin was shown to be full of dicks in the movies but in the books that was far from true. In the books most of Slytherin are actually no different than any other house.
@@coryv5679 Excuse me, Sirius was in Gryffindor. His brother Regulus was Slytherin.
Harry Potter and the Smart Man's Rock would have been the best title.
Also, it is totally sus that Dumbledore have House Gryffindor. It was his house when he was in school.
“Harry killed a teacher with his bare hands!”
“Oh my God!”
“No, see, that’s a good thing.”
“Oh, okay. I was worried for a second that wizards might have had some means of mind control. But if having an evil warlock’s face on your head doesn’t cast doubts on your free will, then I imagine controlling a person is extremely difficult to outright impossible.”
“They learn how to do it as 15 year olds!”
“What.”
“But don’t worry, they’re also told they’ll be thrown in jail with literal soul-eating monsters whose presence makes people suicidally depressed if they ever do it.”
“ _What._ “
“Or if they just get suspected of a crime or whatever. That’s the only form of prison they seem to have.”
“ _WHAT._ “
Oh, wizarding justice is TIGHT.
"They learn how to do it as 15 year olds!”
What? No, they don't learn to cast the Imperius Curse. They only learn how to resist it.
@@Aqquila89 I mean they do learn cast it, as they cast it in future installments and really all you do to cast it is say it
“Ouch, Quirrel. Roll over. My face is being crushed.” -Voldemort
V: "I spy with my evil eye...... something green!"
Q: **sigh** "Is it a snake?"
V: "DAMN! How did you...... nevermind"
**silence for a few minutes**
V: "I spy...."
Q: **even louder depressed sigh**
The bit about celebrating Christmas was just so true ! 😂 How do you come up with this stuff man
I love the way Pitch Meetings get you thinking about things you just take as obvious but don't actual make as much sense when you start to think about it. Wizard's celebrate Christmas.
Exactly! Now i want to watch it again with a more critical eye 🧐
Well that isn't far fetched. Wizards could still be Christian, on virtue of believing in higher powers than themselves. Also Christ did bring people back from the dead, which is a power greater than what Wizards are capable of. (With the exception of some high level dark magic, that destroys the soul, and only works on the user.)
"Yeah don't get too attached" Me-Starts laughing hysterically then crying.
Hopefully an ongoing joke throughout the rest of the pitch meetings for harry potter lol.
"It's called Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone."
"We should change it to Sorcerer's Stone, because it's about magic!"
"But the Philosopher's Stone is already rooted in alchemical lore. And there's a popular manga where a Philosopher's Stone was created by sacrificing millions of people to power it."
"If it's powered by sacrificing human lives that would show how evil this bad guy is, but I still think we should change it to Sorcerer's Stone."
"Well okay then!"
I love how excited producer guy was about them saying goodnight to each other
I really can't get enough of these videos
