Aaah yes, the one movie that always changes people's opinion on these movies and make them realize why these movies are iconic haha, im glad you're getting to experience that! You can thank the director: Alfonso Cuarón and his amazing directing style for completely altering the Harry Potter movies into a much darker, serious and mature tone and even tho he didn't direct any further HP movies but they followed in his path. And Daniela, i looooooove how you noticed Harry's outfit not being as tidy, bc one fun fact i remember about this director is him telling all the kid actors to wear their hogwarts uniforms and style it themselves how they want (you can see it clearly during Hagrid's Hippogriff class) bc they were teenagers and coming of age, so, like all teenagers, they rarely follow the rules without a little rebellion or having to express themselves in their styles of dressing that's just a little hint at how this director's mind works, i have so much respect for him. And to answer your question about why snape never gets the defense against the dark arts position, it is bc that post is believed by dumbledore to have been cursed by voldemort himself (when he graduated from hogwarts he wanted to teach at hogwarts so that he opens the chamber of secrets and secretly kill muggles and do his usual evil shannaningans but Dumbledore suspected he was up to no good so he didn't allow him to have that post and it was cursed from there on, no professor lasts for more than one year, so even if they hire snape for it i think something would happen, and he'd return to teaching potions) Now onto my favorite fun fact of all time: The marauders map! As its name says it is a map created by a group of four guys that called themselves The Marauders, these four guys are: James Potter (harry's dad), Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew, they were best friends, it is an absolute shame these movies never did their story justice, their story is soooo vast and intressting i think it deserves its own movie or series the marauders have their own sub fandom in the HP fandom haha. Now Remus Lupin being a wereworld who was attacked and bitten at the age of 11, when he joined hogwarts dumbledore planted the WOMPING WILLOW tree that attacks people for a reason, he made a secret passageway underneath it that leads to the shrieking shack which was also all made up by dumbledore who encouraged the rumors that it was haunted. All of this is for remus lupin to safely go into on full moon nights and transform into a werewolf there so that he doesn't attack innocent people. After remus, sirius and james became best friends and found out abt remus' condition they all made themselves animagi so that they could accompany him when he transforms, james was a deer hence the nickname: Prongs, sirius a black dog: Padfoot, and peter a rat: wormtail. And remus was moony for yk the moon and being a werewolf.. the marauders were the pranksters and trouble makers of hogwarts Speaking of animals, the patronus charm (expecto patronum) can take the form of an animal when u cast it and each person has their own animal form, Harry's was like his father's a deer. And fun fact about patronuses: they can change to the form of the patronus of the person you love. Another nod at JKR's creative brilliant brain. Aaaaand when harry cast that strong patronus, the happy memory that charged that patronus was him thinking about living with Sirius...excuse me while i go cry at that its so adorable. I promised you fun facts, i hope you enjoyed them
This movie definitely changed my mind about HP movies! If they all get darker and more twisted, I’m all in! 🙌🏻 also, thank you for saying that! I felt like that’s as a very minor thing that I noticed but now that you explain the thought behind it all makes way more then and adds to HP’s character! I love that you explained why he was in such a deep sleep because I honestly didn’t get it and why snape didn’t get get the position! I just thought it didn’t make sense but now looking back it with you explanation it all makes sense now! Wow! The fun facts about the map and the animals blows my mind!! Thank you for these Easter eggs! Are you serious?!! He was thinking about living with Sirius??!🥺 that is so sweet. Omg I wish that for him more than anything. I really hope we get to see that in at least one of the next movies. Yes, you promised and delivered!👌🏻 LOVE all your facts! Can’t wait to see more of them!! - Daniela😊
So refreshing to see this film with people who really appreciate storytelling and the characterisations in these films I love the books, but the films did a good job of showing most of the brilliance of the original books
Oh these movies deserve all the appreciation in the world! The storytelling, the characters and their background stories, and the acting…just wow🙌🏻 thank you so much for your amazing comment!!😊I hope you stick around for more reactions. I would love love to know your thoughts on the upcoming movies! We also have the reunion and the deleted scenes part 2 coming very soon!🤗 - Daniela
So I believe in the book they explain more on the whole chocolate thing, when it comes to the mentors they suck out the happiness from you. So by eating chocolate it brings back the warmth and happiness to you innocence it's medicine against the dementor attack
This one is my favorite HP movie 😍 I watch it at least once a month, even if it’s just on in the background, it’s my comfort movie. I can probably quote 90% of it word for word😂 Also I love how Chris is watching these like he’s never seen them before 😂 that’s the kind of energy we’re here for😂 also how I watch the movies (and reactions😅) every time lol. Enjoy my reaction to your reaction😂 14:00 you’ll be crying more later😂 but yes, I cry here too😂 18:07 THE LOOK ON DANIELA’S FACE same girl😂 19:22 Chris’ face 😂 = 😳☠️ 20:22 chocolate actually helped with the effects of the dementors😊 21:41 THIS😂 22:21 yes you do Chris😂😂😂 22:43 HERMIONE SASS 23:16 more Hermione sass😈 25:23 THE LOOK OF BETRAYAL ON DANIELA’S FACE and then the werewolf bit😂 26:36 her brain can’t brain 😂😂😂😂 this is the movie that does it for everyone 😂🎉 yayyyy welcome to the potter community 😂 27:25 the excitement only to be so disappointed later😅 31:03 yes, 100%!

Lupin became a werewolf when he was 4 (about to turn 5). He was bitten by a werewolf that wanted revenge against his father for trying to expose his condition and for voicing his discontent over his release and his opinion that he deserved nothing but death. Dumbledore, knowing about this, made especial arrangements so that Remus could study in Hogwarts, like using the Shrieking Shack for Remus to reside when he is transformed and planting the Whomping Willow to prevent anyone from going through the tunel that led to the shack. Dumbledore even encouraged the rumours about the shack to discourage anyone from approaching it. And when Lupin was hired to come teach at Hogwarts, Dumbledore had Snape to prepare a special potion (that had been created a few years back) once a month at the week before the full moon that would allow Lupin to keep his human mind during the time he was transformed, so he could lock himself in his office without worrying he would attack anyone.
That’s such a cool fact! Wow! Thank you so much for sharing that with us. We hope you keep watching and commenting awesome facts like that one! - Daniela
JK Rowling explained this: Chocolate is only a short-term remedy for dementors. Dementors are a metaphor for depression and sweets can cheer people up temporarily. Rowling shared that the dementors are a metaphor for her own struggles with depression. That’s why the anecdote is chocolate.
The dementors are like a physical representation of depression in the Wizarding world .. so chocolate helps with the side-effects kinda like people feel better aft we r eating ice cream or chocolate when they are depressed
This is an amazing comment! We never thought of the dementors as being a symbol for depression but it makes SO much sense! You’re right, chocolate and other comfort foods really do make people feel better when they are depressed. Thank you for sharing this with us and blowing our minds!! We hope you stick around as we have much more reactions to come! 🙌🏼
@@TheHappyCryersReact I'm glad I could help! I definitely will be watching you guys looked like you were having so much fun! Also If you listen to how both Lupin and Ron describe dementors, you can see what I mean a little more clearly
@taneshadavis2432 No, that`s not correct. Eating chocolate doesn`t just help because of psychological reasons. Dark chocolate contains more phenylethylamine than any other food and that lessens the level of depression, not the sugar like in ice cream and other sweets. If however, you`re eating ice cream containing a lot of dark chocolate the effect is similar. Ice cream on its own can lessen anger because it cools your blood and makes you calmer. For example, eating chili can increase the level of anger, provided it was there in the first place.
Chris, I'm watching her reaction with that twist after twist after twist she is talking about and can't wait for her to see the biggest twist of all. Time sometimes gets away from us sometimes. Y'all seam so nice, it reminds me of me and my wife when she saw them for the first time. She guessed a lot of this 2,we married 2 smart women.
You are absolutely right!! We 100% married 2 smart women. It’s so nice to hear that we reminded you of such a nice experience with your wife. You sounds like such a great person, too! Thank you so much for your comment and I really hope you stick around. We would both love (I had to show Daniela your amazing comment) to hear more from you! - Chris
Chocolate really does help when you feel depressed. No other food contains as much phenylethylamine as dark chocolate. Phenylethylamine is a neuromodulator, in other words, a mood modulator or hipener. During WWII, Germany produced Scho-ka-kola and the so-called Tank chocolate (Panzerschokolade), which was distributed among all German soldiers. American soldiers were provided with Hershey's Tropical Chocolate to reduce their depression level. They have been known for always having chocolate on them and giving it to children and women.
The books make it clear that Vernon despises anything he considers not "normal" to him. Which is pretty much anyone not just like him or what he considers respectable. I think that's one of the reasons Petunia married him. He backed up her resentment and jealousy of anyone magical but especially her sister. Rowling has said that the dementors are her virtual depiction of depression.
And to think that Vernon's sister is an even worse human being than him... well, that says a lot about their family. Also... Vernon did meet Harry's parents. Saying that he and James didn't get along is saying the least. At their first meeting, Vernon tried to act superior towards James by bragging about his new car, only to be caught by surprise when James told him that he had an immense fortune in solid gold (and that was not an exageration, since the Potter family is very, very rich). That got Vernon so angry that he and Petunia stormed out of the restaurant, leaving Lily crying with James comforting her. Even if Petunia did invite Lily and James to her wedding (perhaps because she was forced by her parents), she didn't invite her sister to be a bridesmaid. And even if Lily did invite Petunia and Vernon to her wedding, they didn't attend it.
"It doesn't fit in my mind, how someone can think about all this...." That feeling is like 10 times crazier reading the books. There is SOOOOO much they cut out for the films....they had to. But it's amazing how every character feels so real, at every stage of their growth, and there are decisions characters made in the first 3 books that affect the person they became and therefore the decisions they made in the last two books. It feels less like reading a story someone just imagined, and more like you are reading a historical account of events that happened to real people, exactly as they happened. It's wild the way things link all the way through the entire series; I could never even begin to imagine how she mapped it out in her head.
Right?!! How did she think of all of this?! I don’t doubt that the books have way more details and they are way more Seth but even just seeing the movies, it blows my mind how someone thought of this world and everything single detail in it! Completely agree with you! Hope you keep watching with us!! - Daniela
That’s very unfortunate. Some people don’t have a filter or think about how what they are saying affects other. Thank you for your comment, Jessica! We are happy to have you join us in our journey as we watch the HP movies! - Daniela 😊
I love that HP is a combination of everything: it has comedy, it has drama, it has mystery and a horror elements, and also there's always a plot twist in the end
Since Dumbledore (the old English name for bumblebee) stopped Tom Riddle from becoming defence against the dark art teacher, the person in the post lasts a maximum of a year. Almost like the position is cursed! The marauders were: James (prongs), Lupin (mooney), Sirius (padfoot) and Peter (wormtail); that's why Lupin could operate the map. Also one of Sirius's cousins is Narsissa Black, now with the surname Malfoy! - you will meet another cousin later in the films and the daughter of her sister. His great aunt was Arthur Weasley's mother.
It absolutely does seem like the defence against the dark arts position is cursed, you’re right! My wife and I are both blown away by your comment! Can’t believe we missed that but are so happy you pointed it out to us!! That makes way more sense now how Lupin was an expert already. Thank you so much for sharing this with us and we hope you stick around for more of our reactions to the HP franchise! 🙌🏼
In the book Ron stood up for Hermione against Snape and got detention for it. In the movie, he agrees with Snape... The movies did Ron's character dirty unfortunately.
love your insights into the vernon/petunia/marge dynamic, also in the books they touch upon it a bit as well I believe where it's revealed that Petunia had been pestering Dumbledore to let her into Hogwarts and how very jealous she was of her sister - but there is a glimmer of hope in her, in the deathly hallows when they are making preparations for the Dursley's to leave - there was a scene between Harry and Petunia where we see Petunia show a bit of a better side to her, as well as Dudley and Harry getting a better resolution.
Loving these reactions! something the movies doesn't really explain too well, is why the marauders are animagi, they learned to be so they could be with Remus during the full moons, because they can't really be affected the werewolf curse while transformed in animal form, it shows how dedicated the 4 of them were towards eachother, its also why the whomping willow was planted with the secret tunnel to the shrieking shack, so remus could be safe there during the full moon
About petunia, first she was jealous, but the second and more important factor as i get it; she lost her sister because of the magical world. So she hates everything about that world. And harry is a big reminder of that world.
That’s a great take on why Petunia is the way that she is! Losing your sister to the magic world would definitely leave you jaded against it! We just wish she could’ve chosen to be thankful to have a piece of her sister still through Harry, not punish him for it. Thank you for your comment and we hope you stay with us on our journey, continuing to share your thoughts!!
I sometimes think whether nevillle’s bad memory is due to ptsd or even healers tryingnto save a baby with obliviate or even actually getting tortured too, he surely has a strong constitution but I have so many questions about Neville especially as he can see his parents, he knows everything and his stuff was somehow worse than Harry cause no deaths but he was toddler, capable of retaining memory. There’s something to be said to how much resistance he seems to have to cruciatus too so I have so many questions way beyond “he doesn’t have the confidence”.
I absolutely agree with you! Looking back at it, the movies didn’t do justice to Neville’s character. He seems so silly and funny in the first couple of movies but reading what people have said about Neville and how he is the books and his background the deserved more of his story in the movies. He’s actually so strong. He had a big part in the last movie and I’m so happy he did. 🙌🏻 - Daniela
@@TheHappyCryersReact yeah, I think wrote this based on watching a few reactions channels and how they basically reduced a lot (with reason of Neville’s story) - sure the comic relief is there but we are made to believe his parents are just dead when it’s so much worse and even then as he in the compartment with dementors in the book he handles better than Harry except what to his parents tho never explainednin the movies is pointless and when’s he’s almost two so his memories would be even less foggy. Sure you won’t approach torture and dementia in these but Neville got a decent here and there when his cool wins do include a berserk personality with either plants or mass murder by madrakes or taking the crucio here and there cause he knows they won’t spill his blood so much. Dude BLIND A DEATH EATHER by sticking his dad’s wand on the man eye when they use a silence spell on him. It’s mentioned many times in the book just how sweet but just how easily sweet goes fist fight. It’s never about him he only fights if u offend his friends and family but damn that’s a well constructed character who can support Harry even while carrying bodies in the war and help him calm down. But anyway, the momento thing, his gigantic família of posh old people no way he wasn’t probed and poked either by the Death eaters themselves or in st mungus as a baby. Regardless much like his parents didn’t die and the old people in his family are often described as “formidable” , there’s certainly a constitution character sheet advantage in there and I know it.
There are some things many miss: - Professor Trelawney made a very accurate prediction. - Ron`s prediction for Harry: "You`re gonna suffer, but you`re gonna be happy about it.", was funny but also accurate. Harry was suffering when he found out that Sirius Black was his Godfather, but later on, he was happy about it :) - Hermione is frustrated about Trelawney`s class because she is a great student and has a logical mind, but Divination is something you learn on a soul level, not with your brain. - Remus`s name and surname tell us that he is a werewolf: We know Remus from Roman Mythology. Translated into English, Lupin means wolf-like. In class, when Lupin jumps between Harry and the dementor, the dementor changes into the Moon, and Lupin who is afraid of the Moon, transforms it into a funny balloon.
Actually, the thing with the chocolate is because in real life there is the popular idea that chocolate helps when you are depressed, so Rowling used that as a basis for it being a treatment for the extreme depression dementors cause.
The funny thing is that all of Trelawneys predictions come true at some time in some way. The crazier part is that also harry’s and ron’s predoctions both came true by deathly hallows
They didnt give snape the defense against the dark arts post because it was cursed. There wasnt a single teacher who lasted over a year. Quirrel died, lockhart permanently lost his memory, lupin was exposed as a warewolf, mad eye moody (barty crouch jr) was arrested, umbridge was held captive by the centaurs. Even snape tecnically lost it since he became headmaster. And dumbledore needes snape so he needed to be safe. He gave snape the job when he knew he was going to kill him in a year.
In this one when the films officially become darker as the series goes along and also recast of Albus Dumbledore with Michael Gambon; Also they are actually transitioned from kids to teenagers not quite adults yet
We completely agree with you!! Such a pivotal movie in the franchise 🙌🏼. That might be one of the reasons why this is a lot of people’s favourite movie! Thank you for commenting and we hope you enjoyed our reaction! - Chris
Actually since Dementors sap your happiness from you and choclate triggers the part in our brain that makes us happy it is a legit medication after encountering a Dementor. The Hogwarts Nurse in the Books mentions that they finally have a teacher against the dark arts who knows his stuff because he offered Harry choclate after the dementor attack in the train.
You and chris love this movie and consider it your favourite. That’s awesome! Can’t wait to get to the last one but for now I want to enjoy the ride😎. I hope you stick around as we make our way to your other favourite HP movie! - Daniela 😊
First time on your channel after watching other UA-cam videos; your reactions are more recent I noticed. I binged your videos last night and am intrigued by your wife's reaction since you have watched these movies already. A fact about my reaction while reading the books, I would have the same reaction your wife would have when it would come to a scene that may or may not happen, like in 27:57 "I need to pause" for me in scenes similar like this, I would put my book down and think "No this is not happening, No I don't like what I'm reading JK wouldn't let this happen would she?" Thoughts like those would run across my mind throughout the rest of the series starting from 'Prisoner of Azkaban' and the rest of the books! I'll say this without any spoilers, I threw my book down to the floor while I was reading "The Half-blood Prince" I was so invested in each character development both good and bad by the time that book came out. JK Rowling had me at the edge of my seat in that book and then the rest of the books too. Serious plot twists throughout those books had me turning pages! Looking forward to the next one! ☮
Thank you so much for joining us!! Yes, seeing my wife react to these movies along with you all has been such a pleasure! There’s no doubt that from this movie ‘The Prisoner of Azkaban’, my wife is getting more addicted to this franchise!! You are absolutely right, JKR pulls us in with her creativity but makes us have to take a breather with the multiple plot twists! The books and the movies are on another level of imagination and creativity! We’re very happy to hear that you’re sticking around to see our next reaction!! 🙌🏼
Hi there! That’s such a nice touch from the director. It definitely adds to the movie and Harry’s character. You can see how he grows within the movies with little things like this. Thank you so much for your comment! We hope you enjoyed watching with us! - Daniela 😊
What you're seeing is Harry getting hit by his hormones; he's now 13 and he's at that age where he stands up against injustice and authority figures. Hermione also is reacting to her puberty onset, punching Draco in the nose and knocking Professor Trelawney's crystal ball onto the floor before stomping out. As far as Harry's aunt Marge goes, you can tell Harry felt Marge was full of hot air by his causing her to inflate and float away like a hot air balloon. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ JK Rowling has said she suffered depression during the period she was writing these books. She anthropomorphized the depression into 'dementors' as characters in her books. Rather genius to take a debilitating condition and place it in the story as a feral creature that feeds on hope, love, strength, courage, and other warm feelings, making them natural prison guards kept in service by their own hunger and having an effect that makes it impossible for prisoners to find the strength to escape. And actually, there's a scientific basis for Professor Lupin to hand out chocolate to those targeted by dementors: chocolate is a restorative for those whose happiness and emotional warmth have been drained by a dementor. ‘Eat, you’ll feel better’, says Lupin while handing a chocolate bar to Harry. Studies have proven that, when we eat chocolate, our brain releases four chemicals which are known to be associated with happiness and overall wellness: endorphins, serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin. Endorphins are natural pain relievers; they interact with receptors in the brain. Their function is double: besides reducing pain, they also boost pleasure. They are released by the brain in response to pain or stress, but also during enjoyable activities. Serotonin is commonly associated with happiness. People with depression or anxiety often have low levels of serotonin. This chemical is able to improve our mood, our satisfaction, our optimism, and our overall wellbeing. Dopamine is involved in what is called the reward system: when the brain releases dopamine, the chemical activates parts of the brain known as pleasure centers, which make us feel good. Dopamine makes our pupils dilate, a sign that is often associated with love and attraction. Oxytocin is involved in social and familial bonding. The brain releases this chemical in response to feeling loved, during lovemaking, and just after giving birth.
Absolutely! I 100% agree with your whole comment 🙌🏼. It’s so creative to take the depression you’re experiencing and turn it into something so powerful! What an incredible metaphor. The chocolate aspect is such a jaw dropping fact because of how true it is! We never thought of that until people started commenting it and then it all just clicked. Thank you so much for your comment! We hope to see more of them! - Chris
Interesting little fact serious is a constellation in the night sky of a dog so black dog and then Lupine is derived from a Latin word that means werewolf so all the clues are right there
You’re right, that is very interesting! You can see where JKR pulls her inspiration from for deep meanings and name choices. Still awestruck by her creativity!! Thank you for sharing this and we hope you stick around throughout our journey 🙌🏼
We’ve actually already posted our reaction to The Deathly Hallows - Part 1 deleted scenes! Part 2 deleted scenes is coming soon! Make sure to check it out 🙌🏼 - Chris
I think that if we have read the books it is excellent, but if not is good too because the reactions are more natural, watching the movie with no idea what happened in the books it’s really a first reaction. Thanks guys for let us to enjoy your good comments and the best reactions as well
Thank goodness!! 😂 . That is such a massive relief to hear 🙌🏼. We hope you stick around and join us on our magical journey, especially with less Dursleys!
Love the reaction but i wished you guys kept in more scenes in the edit I feel like a lot was cut out, could be like 6-7 more minutes 1)lupins first class with boggart ( hinting that he is warewolf) 2) lupin and snapes conversation in the corridor etc
If I could give one constructive criticism, stop giving her some of the answers in the chamber of secrets. You told her about Jenny getting the book at the bookstore.
We’re always up for constructive criticism as it helps our channel grow better for all of you. However, in the beginning of our reaction, I made sure the scene of Jenny getting the book in her cauldron was shown. My wife saw that already by the time I brought it up, right. I understand if you missed that scene, it looks like a spoiler, but I was just answering my wife’s question about a previously shown scene 👍🏼
@@TheHappyCryersReact I completely understand I did see that but I guess I just wanted her to put the dots together herself🤷🏽♀️I love these movies as much as you and I very happy y’all are reacting to them super excited to see the next one
Unfortunately, as reactors, you have to deal with copyright issues. If I have too much of the movie, our reaction video will be blocked by UA-cam. We try our best to include every important scene but having a large chunk of the movie in our reaction is just not possible. It’s not possible for any other reactor either. We appreciate your comment and hope you stick around as more reactions are coming!
That "I almost spoiled it" look at 19:22 .... GOLD
It’s hilarious that you noticed! 😂🙌🏻 - Chris
Aaah yes, the one movie that always changes people's opinion on these movies and make them realize why these movies are iconic haha, im glad you're getting to experience that! You can thank the director: Alfonso Cuarón and his amazing directing style for completely altering the Harry Potter movies into a much darker, serious and mature tone and even tho he didn't direct any further HP movies but they followed in his path.
And Daniela, i looooooove how you noticed Harry's outfit not being as tidy, bc one fun fact i remember about this director is him telling all the kid actors to wear their hogwarts uniforms and style it themselves how they want (you can see it clearly during Hagrid's Hippogriff class) bc they were teenagers and coming of age, so, like all teenagers, they rarely follow the rules without a little rebellion or having to express themselves in their styles of dressing that's just a little hint at how this director's mind works, i have so much respect for him.
And to answer your question about why snape never gets the defense against the dark arts position, it is bc that post is believed by dumbledore to have been cursed by voldemort himself (when he graduated from hogwarts he wanted to teach at hogwarts so that he opens the chamber of secrets and secretly kill muggles and do his usual evil shannaningans but Dumbledore suspected he was up to no good so he didn't allow him to have that post and it was cursed from there on, no professor lasts for more than one year, so even if they hire snape for it i think something would happen, and he'd return to teaching potions)
Now onto my favorite fun fact of all time:
The marauders map! As its name says it is a map created by a group of four guys that called themselves The Marauders, these four guys are: James Potter (harry's dad), Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew, they were best friends, it is an absolute shame these movies never did their story justice, their story is soooo vast and intressting i think it deserves its own movie or series the marauders have their own sub fandom in the HP fandom haha. Now Remus Lupin being a wereworld who was attacked and bitten at the age of 11, when he joined hogwarts dumbledore planted the WOMPING WILLOW tree that attacks people for a reason, he made a secret passageway underneath it that leads to the shrieking shack which was also all made up by dumbledore who encouraged the rumors that it was haunted. All of this is for remus lupin to safely go into on full moon nights and transform into a werewolf there so that he doesn't attack innocent people. After remus, sirius and james became best friends and found out abt remus' condition they all made themselves animagi so that they could accompany him when he transforms, james was a deer hence the nickname: Prongs, sirius a black dog: Padfoot, and peter a rat: wormtail. And remus was moony for yk the moon and being a werewolf.. the marauders were the pranksters and trouble makers of hogwarts
Speaking of animals, the patronus charm (expecto patronum) can take the form of an animal when u cast it and each person has their own animal form, Harry's was like his father's a deer. And fun fact about patronuses: they can change to the form of the patronus of the person you love. Another nod at JKR's creative brilliant brain.
Aaaaand when harry cast that strong patronus, the happy memory that charged that patronus was him thinking about living with Sirius...excuse me while i go cry at that its so adorable.
I promised you fun facts, i hope you enjoyed them
This movie definitely changed my mind about HP movies! If they all get darker and more twisted, I’m all in! 🙌🏻 also, thank you for saying that! I felt like that’s as a very minor thing that I noticed but now that you explain the thought behind it all makes way more then and adds to HP’s character! I love that you explained why he was in such a deep sleep because I honestly didn’t get it and why snape didn’t get get the position! I just thought it didn’t make sense but now looking back it with you explanation it all makes sense now! Wow! The fun facts about the map and the animals blows my mind!! Thank you for these Easter eggs! Are you serious?!! He was thinking about living with Sirius??!🥺 that is so sweet. Omg I wish that for him more than anything. I really hope we get to see that in at least one of the next movies. Yes, you promised and delivered!👌🏻 LOVE all your facts! Can’t wait to see more of them!! - Daniela😊
So refreshing to see this film with people who really appreciate storytelling and the characterisations in these films
I love the books, but the films did a good job of showing most of the brilliance of the original books

I would love love to know your thoughts on the upcoming movies! We also have the reunion and the deleted scenes part 2 coming very soon!🤗 - Daniela
So I believe in the book they explain more on the whole chocolate thing, when it comes to the mentors they suck out the happiness from you. So by eating chocolate it brings back the warmth and happiness to you innocence it's medicine against the dementor attack
This is the movie that turns a person from someone who likes the series into a full blown Potterhead.
Absolutely!! Could not have said it better myself 🙌🏼 - Chris
This one is my favorite HP movie 😍 I watch it at least once a month, even if it’s just on in the background, it’s my comfort movie. I can probably quote 90% of it word for word😂

Watching y’all is watching what it would be like if Harry and Hermione ended up together 😂 I love it so much.
Lupin became a werewolf when he was 4 (about to turn 5). He was bitten by a werewolf that wanted revenge against his father for trying to expose his condition and for voicing his discontent over his release and his opinion that he deserved nothing but death. Dumbledore, knowing about this, made especial arrangements so that Remus could study in Hogwarts, like using the Shrieking Shack for Remus to reside when he is transformed and planting the Whomping Willow to prevent anyone from going through the tunel that led to the shack. Dumbledore even encouraged the rumours about the shack to discourage anyone from approaching it. And when Lupin was hired to come teach at Hogwarts, Dumbledore had Snape to prepare a special potion (that had been created a few years back) once a month at the week before the full moon that would allow Lupin to keep his human mind during the time he was transformed, so he could lock himself in his office without worrying he would attack anyone.
That’s such a cool fact! Wow! Thank you so much for sharing that with us. We hope you keep watching and commenting awesome facts like that one! - Daniela
The person who bit lupin was Fenrir Grayback. You'll meet him in future movies.
@@TheHappyCryersReactthe werewolf that bit lupin when he was younger was called Fenrir Greyback
JK Rowling explained this: Chocolate is only a short-term remedy for dementors. Dementors are a metaphor for depression and sweets can cheer people up temporarily. Rowling shared that the dementors are a metaphor for her own struggles with depression. That’s why the anecdote is chocolate.
The dementors are like a physical representation of depression in the Wizarding world .. so chocolate helps with the side-effects kinda like people feel better aft we r eating ice cream or chocolate when they are depressed
This is an amazing comment! We never thought of the dementors as being a symbol for depression but it makes SO much sense! You’re right, chocolate and other comfort foods really do make people feel better when they are depressed. Thank you for sharing this with us and blowing our minds!! We hope you stick around as we have much more reactions to come! 🙌🏼
@@TheHappyCryersReact I'm glad I could help! I definitely will be watching you guys looked like you were having so much fun! Also If you listen to how both Lupin and Ron describe dementors, you can see what I mean a little more clearly
@taneshadavis2432
No, that`s not correct.
Eating chocolate doesn`t just help because of psychological reasons. Dark chocolate contains more phenylethylamine than any other food and that lessens the level of depression, not the sugar like in ice cream and other sweets. If however, you`re eating ice cream containing a lot of dark chocolate
the effect is similar. Ice cream on its own can lessen anger because it cools your blood and makes you calmer. For example, eating chili can increase the level of anger, provided it was there in the first place.
These song, the frog chorus sang when the students arrived first arrived at Hogswarts was the soliloquy of the witches from MacBeth.
Chris, I'm watching her reaction with that twist after twist after twist she is talking about and can't wait for her to see the biggest twist of all. Time sometimes gets away from us sometimes. Y'all seam so nice, it reminds me of me and my wife when she saw them for the first time. She guessed a lot of this 2,we married 2 smart women.
You are absolutely right!! We 100% married 2 smart women. It’s so nice to hear that we reminded you of such a nice experience with your wife. You sounds like such a great person, too! Thank you so much for your comment and I really hope you stick around. We would both love (I had to show Daniela your amazing comment) to hear more from you! - Chris
Chocolate really does help when you feel depressed. No other food contains as much phenylethylamine as dark chocolate. Phenylethylamine is a neuromodulator, in other words, a mood modulator or hipener.
During WWII, Germany produced Scho-ka-kola and the so-called Tank chocolate (Panzerschokolade), which was distributed among all German soldiers.
American soldiers were provided with Hershey's Tropical Chocolate to reduce their depression level. They have been known for always having chocolate on them and giving it to children and women.
The books make it clear that Vernon despises anything he considers not "normal" to him. Which is pretty much anyone not just like him or what he considers respectable. I think that's one of the reasons Petunia married him. He backed up her resentment and jealousy of anyone magical but especially her sister.
Rowling has said that the dementors are her virtual depiction of depression.
And to think that Vernon's sister is an even worse human being than him... well, that says a lot about their family. Also... Vernon did meet Harry's parents. Saying that he and James didn't get along is saying the least. At their first meeting, Vernon tried to act superior towards James by bragging about his new car, only to be caught by surprise when James told him that he had an immense fortune in solid gold (and that was not an exageration, since the Potter family is very, very rich). That got Vernon so angry that he and Petunia stormed out of the restaurant, leaving Lily crying with James comforting her. Even if Petunia did invite Lily and James to her wedding (perhaps because she was forced by her parents), she didn't invite her sister to be a bridesmaid. And even if Lily did invite Petunia and Vernon to her wedding, they didn't attend it.
@@rafaelmatos5851 agreed
"It doesn't fit in my mind, how someone can think about all this...."
That feeling is like 10 times crazier reading the books. There is SOOOOO much they cut out for the films....they had to. But it's amazing how every character feels so real, at every stage of their growth, and there are decisions characters made in the first 3 books that affect the person they became and therefore the decisions they made in the last two books. It feels less like reading a story someone just imagined, and more like you are reading a historical account of events that happened to real people, exactly as they happened. It's wild the way things link all the way through the entire series; I could never even begin to imagine how she mapped it out in her head.
Right?!! How did she think of all of this?! I don’t doubt that the books have way more details and they are way more Seth but even just seeing the movies, it blows my mind how someone thought of this world and everything single detail in it! Completely agree with you! Hope you keep watching with us!! - Daniela
My aunts and uncles used to talk crap about my dead dad in front of me all the time… some people just suck
That’s very unfortunate. Some people don’t have a filter or think about how what they are saying affects other. Thank you for your comment, Jessica! We are happy to have you join us in our journey as we watch the HP movies! - Daniela 😊
I love that HP is a combination of everything: it has comedy, it has drama, it has mystery and a horror elements, and also there's always a plot twist in the end
Couldn’t agree with you more! It’s been 4 HP movies already, and you can always find all of that in each movie! - Daniela
Since Dumbledore (the old English name for bumblebee) stopped Tom Riddle from becoming defence against the dark art teacher, the person in the post lasts a maximum of a year. Almost like the position is cursed! The marauders were: James (prongs), Lupin (mooney), Sirius (padfoot) and Peter (wormtail); that's why Lupin could operate the map. Also one of Sirius's cousins is Narsissa Black, now with the surname Malfoy! - you will meet another cousin later in the films and the daughter of her sister. His great aunt was Arthur Weasley's mother.
It absolutely does seem like the defence against the dark arts position is cursed, you’re right! My wife and I are both blown away by your comment! Can’t believe we missed that but are so happy you pointed it out to us!! That makes way more sense now how Lupin was an expert already. Thank you so much for sharing this with us and we hope you stick around for more of our reactions to the HP franchise! 🙌🏼
In the book Ron stood up for Hermione against Snape and got detention for it. In the movie, he agrees with Snape... The movies did Ron's character dirty unfortunately.
love your insights into the vernon/petunia/marge dynamic, also in the books they touch upon it a bit as well I believe where it's revealed that Petunia had been pestering Dumbledore to let her into Hogwarts and how very jealous she was of her sister - but there is a glimmer of hope in her, in the deathly hallows when they are making preparations for the Dursley's to leave - there was a scene between Harry and Petunia where we see Petunia show a bit of a better side to her, as well as Dudley and Harry getting a better resolution.
Love your videos and 3 and 5 are my favorite Harry Potter movies
Loving these reactions!
something the movies doesn't really explain too well, is why the marauders are animagi, they learned to be so they could be with Remus during the full moons, because they can't really be affected the werewolf curse while transformed in animal form, it shows how dedicated the 4 of them were towards eachother, its also why the whomping willow was planted with the secret tunnel to the shrieking shack, so remus could be safe there during the full moon
About petunia, first she was jealous, but the second and more important factor as i get it; she lost her sister because of the magical world. So she hates everything about that world. And harry is a big reminder of that world.
That’s a great take on why Petunia is the way that she is! Losing your sister to the magic world would definitely leave you jaded against it! We just wish she could’ve chosen to be thankful to have a piece of her sister still through Harry, not punish him for it. Thank you for your comment and we hope you stay with us on our journey, continuing to share your thoughts!!
When Daniela said she thought it was harry casting expecto patronum not his dad i was very impressed 😁
I sometimes think whether nevillle’s bad memory is due to ptsd or even healers tryingnto save a baby with obliviate or even actually getting tortured too, he surely has a strong constitution but I have so many questions about Neville especially as he can see his parents, he knows everything and his stuff was somehow worse than Harry cause no deaths but he was toddler, capable of retaining memory. There’s something to be said to how much resistance he seems to have to cruciatus too so I have so many questions way beyond “he doesn’t have the confidence”.
I absolutely agree with you! Looking back at it, the movies didn’t do justice to Neville’s character. He seems so silly and funny in the first couple of movies but reading what people have said about Neville and how he is the books and his background the deserved more of his story in the movies. He’s actually so strong. He had a big part in the last movie and I’m so happy he did. 🙌🏻 - Daniela
@@TheHappyCryersReact yeah, I think wrote this based on watching a few reactions channels and how they basically reduced a lot (with reason of Neville’s story) - sure the comic relief is there but we are made to believe his parents are just dead when it’s so much worse and even then as he in the compartment with dementors in the book he handles better than Harry except what to his parents tho never explainednin the movies is pointless and when’s he’s almost two so his memories would be even less foggy. Sure you won’t approach torture and dementia in these but Neville got a decent here and there when his cool wins do include a berserk personality with either plants or mass murder by madrakes or taking the crucio here and there cause he knows they won’t spill his blood so much. Dude BLIND A DEATH EATHER by sticking his dad’s wand on the man eye when they use a silence spell on him. It’s mentioned many times in the book just how sweet but just how easily sweet goes fist fight. It’s never about him he only fights if u offend his friends and family but damn that’s a well constructed character who can support Harry even while carrying bodies in the war and help him calm down. But anyway, the momento thing, his gigantic família of posh old people no way he wasn’t probed and poked either by the Death eaters themselves or in st mungus as a baby. Regardless much like his parents didn’t die and the old people in his family are often described as “formidable” , there’s certainly a constitution character sheet advantage in there and I know it.
There are some things many miss:
- Professor Trelawney made a very accurate prediction.
- Ron`s prediction for Harry: "You`re gonna suffer, but you`re gonna be happy about it.", was funny but also accurate. Harry was suffering when he found out that Sirius Black was his Godfather, but later on, he was happy about it :)
- Hermione is frustrated about Trelawney`s class because she is a great student and has a logical mind, but Divination is something you learn on a soul level, not with your brain.
- Remus`s name and surname tell us that he is a werewolf: We know Remus from Roman Mythology. Translated into English, Lupin means wolf-like.
In class, when Lupin jumps between Harry and the dementor, the dementor changes into the Moon, and Lupin who is afraid of the Moon, transforms it into a funny balloon.
The movies always have some kind of twist near the end. What exactly that twist is, we don't know until it actually happens.
That’s exactly why we love them!! Absolutely 🙌🏼
19:20 that was hilarious 😂☠️
This was one of those moments where it was SO hard not to tell her anything 😂
Actually, the thing with the chocolate is because in real life there is the popular idea that chocolate helps when you are depressed, so Rowling used that as a basis for it being a treatment for the extreme depression dementors cause.
That’s so cool that she added that little detail that is also part of the real world. Her imagination with these books is unreal. - Daniela
This is my favorite movie of the series, but all of them are great.
for me this is one of the best time travel movies.
The funny thing is that all of Trelawneys predictions come true at some time in some way.
The crazier part is that also harry’s and ron’s predoctions both came true by deathly hallows
This is a great comment! Thank you for sharing your insight. You’re absolutely right! We hope you enjoyed our reaction 🙌🏼 - Chris
They didnt give snape the defense against the dark arts post because it was cursed. There wasnt a single teacher who lasted over a year.
Quirrel died, lockhart permanently lost his memory, lupin was exposed as a warewolf, mad eye moody (barty crouch jr) was arrested, umbridge was held captive by the centaurs.
Even snape tecnically lost it since he became headmaster.
And dumbledore needes snape so he needed to be safe.
He gave snape the job when he knew he was going to kill him in a year.
They forgot to include in the movies that Hermiones cat was helping Sirius, that is why it is trying to catch Ron's rat which is Petegrew
In this one when the films officially become darker as the series goes along and also recast of Albus Dumbledore with Michael Gambon; Also they are actually transitioned from kids to teenagers not quite adults yet
We completely agree with you!! Such a pivotal movie in the franchise 🙌🏼. That might be one of the reasons why this is a lot of people’s favourite movie! Thank you for commenting and we hope you enjoyed our reaction! - Chris
Actually since Dementors sap your happiness from you and choclate triggers the part in our brain that makes us happy it is a legit medication after encountering a Dementor. The Hogwarts Nurse in the Books mentions that they finally have a teacher against the dark arts who knows his stuff because he offered Harry choclate after the dementor attack in the train.
The term dumbledore describes a humblebee.
This is still my favorite movie beside the very last one.
You and chris love this movie and consider it your favourite. That’s awesome! Can’t wait to get to the last one but for now I want to enjoy the ride😎. I hope you stick around as we make our way to your other favourite HP movie! - Daniela 😊
First time on your channel after watching other UA-cam videos; your reactions are more recent I noticed. I binged your videos last night and am intrigued by your wife's reaction since you have watched these movies already. A fact about my reaction while reading the books, I would have the same reaction your wife would have when it would come to a scene that may or may not happen, like in 27:57 "I need to pause" for me in scenes similar like this, I would put my book down and think "No this is not happening, No I don't like what I'm reading JK wouldn't let this happen would she?" Thoughts like those would run across my mind throughout the rest of the series starting from 'Prisoner of Azkaban' and the rest of the books! I'll say this without any spoilers, I threw my book down to the floor while I was reading "The Half-blood Prince" I was so invested in each character development both good and bad by the time that book came out. JK Rowling had me at the edge of my seat in that book and then the rest of the books too. Serious plot twists throughout those books had me turning pages! Looking forward to the next one! ☮
Thank you so much for joining us!! Yes, seeing my wife react to these movies along with you all has been such a pleasure! There’s no doubt that from this movie ‘The Prisoner of Azkaban’, my wife is getting more addicted to this franchise!! You are absolutely right, JKR pulls us in with her creativity but makes us have to take a breather with the multiple plot twists! The books and the movies are on another level of imagination and creativity! We’re very happy to hear that you’re sticking around to see our next reaction!! 🙌🏼
Full movie reaction?
Alfonso cuaron asked the actor to wear the uniforms the way they would actually wear it so that was a good point Daniella (Daniela?)
Hi there! That’s such a nice touch from the director. It definitely adds to the movie and Harry’s character. You can see how he grows within the movies with little things like this. Thank you so much for your comment! We hope you enjoyed watching with us! - Daniela 😊
@@TheHappyCryersReact i did !!
What you're seeing is Harry getting hit by his hormones; he's now 13 and he's at that age where he stands up against injustice and authority figures. Hermione also is reacting to her puberty onset, punching Draco in the nose and knocking Professor Trelawney's crystal ball onto the floor before stomping out.
As far as Harry's aunt Marge goes, you can tell Harry felt Marge was full of hot air by his causing her to inflate and float away like a hot air balloon.

JK Rowling has said she suffered depression during the period she was writing these books. She anthropomorphized the depression into 'dementors' as characters in her books. Rather genius to take a debilitating condition and place it in the story as a feral creature that feeds on hope, love, strength, courage, and other warm feelings, making them natural prison guards kept in service by their own hunger and having an effect that makes it impossible for prisoners to find the strength to escape.
And actually, there's a scientific basis for Professor Lupin to hand out chocolate to those targeted by dementors: chocolate is a restorative for those whose happiness and emotional warmth have been drained by a dementor.
‘Eat, you’ll feel better’, says Lupin while handing a chocolate bar to Harry.
Studies have proven that, when we eat chocolate, our brain releases four chemicals which are known to be associated with happiness and overall wellness: endorphins, serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin.
Endorphins are natural pain relievers; they interact with receptors in the brain. Their function is double: besides reducing pain, they also boost pleasure. They are released by the brain in response to pain or stress, but also during enjoyable activities.
Serotonin is commonly associated with happiness. People with depression or anxiety often have low levels of serotonin. This chemical is able to improve our mood, our satisfaction, our optimism, and our overall wellbeing.
Dopamine is involved in what is called the reward system: when the brain releases dopamine, the chemical activates parts of the brain known as pleasure centers, which make us feel good. Dopamine makes our pupils dilate, a sign that is often associated with love and attraction.
Oxytocin is involved in social and familial bonding. The brain releases this chemical in response to feeling loved, during lovemaking, and just after giving birth.
Absolutely! I 100% agree with your whole comment 🙌🏼. It’s so creative to take the depression you’re experiencing and turn it into something so powerful! What an incredible metaphor. The chocolate aspect is such a jaw dropping fact because of how true it is! We never thought of that until people started commenting it and then it all just clicked. Thank you so much for your comment! We hope to see more of them! - Chris
Interesting little fact serious is a constellation in the night sky of a dog so black dog and then Lupine is derived from a Latin word that means werewolf so all the clues are right there
You’re right, that is very interesting! You can see where JKR pulls her inspiration from for deep meanings and name choices. Still awestruck by her creativity!! Thank you for sharing this and we hope you stick around throughout our journey 🙌🏼
Yall need to watch the deleted scenes from the Deathly Hallows Movies
We’ve actually already posted our reaction to The Deathly Hallows - Part 1 deleted scenes! Part 2 deleted scenes is coming soon! Make sure to check it out 🙌🏼 - Chris
You two atleast READ LAST TWO BOOKS.. Otherwise you will be missing so much... ☺️🙂 Watching from Assam, India ❤️
I think that if we have read the books it is excellent, but if not is good too because the reactions are more natural, watching the movie with no idea what happened in the books it’s really a first reaction. Thanks guys for let us to enjoy your good comments and the best reactions as well
2:51 no need for petition. Next movie starts at Weasleys😂 No Dursleys whole movie once❤
Thank goodness!! 😂 . That is such a massive relief to hear 🙌🏼. We hope you stick around and join us on our magical journey, especially with less Dursleys!
Love the reaction but i wished you guys kept in more scenes in the edit
I feel like a lot was cut out, could be like 6-7 more minutes
1)lupins first class with boggart ( hinting that he is warewolf)
2) lupin and snapes conversation in the corridor etc
If I could give one constructive criticism, stop giving her some of the answers in the chamber of secrets. You told her about Jenny getting the book at the bookstore.
We’re always up for constructive criticism as it helps our channel grow better for all of you. However, in the beginning of our reaction, I made sure the scene of Jenny getting the book in her cauldron was shown. My wife saw that already by the time I brought it up, right. I understand if you missed that scene, it looks like a spoiler, but I was just answering my wife’s question about a previously shown scene 👍🏼
@@TheHappyCryersReact I completely understand I did see that but I guess I just wanted her to put the dots together herself🤷🏽♀️I love these movies as much as you and I very happy y’all are reacting to them super excited to see the next one
@@jessicat2002 From one Potterhead to another, I’m super excited to have you join us on this magical journey!! Thank you so much for your support 🙂 🙌🏼
i wish u make longer version of reaction without skipping that much scenes
37 min is lil to watch
Unfortunately, as reactors, you have to deal with copyright issues. If I have too much of the movie, our reaction video will be blocked by UA-cam. We try our best to include every important scene but having a large chunk of the movie in our reaction is just not possible. It’s not possible for any other reactor either. We appreciate your comment and hope you stick around as more reactions are coming!
