- First Time Watching the legendary movie Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban. I have seen The Philosopher's Stone or Sorcerer's Stone, as well as The Chamber of Secrets already and will be seeing the remaining movies as well. Growing up I had heard so much about it but never got around to watching it, the time to get cultured is nigh! lol

10 points to your house if you can spot an OWL in my room. This is a tougher one. Go Potheads... I mean Potter Heads 😅
Is the owl on the right up corner of the screen? Looks like a calendar with a photo of one
no, there are no owls on the calendar, it has pictures of cars lol typical guy stuff, the owl is prominently visible but only for a second or two.
Is it on your belt buckle? Timestamp around 46:55
@@tpng9100 and we have a winner!
@@AffanReacts Yay! Man, these 10 points were hard-earned. I scrutinised every detail in your room and kept my eyes peeled for any sudden movement that could reveal that elusive owl. Then I kept pausing and rewinding when the buckle came into view to see if the logo was indeed an owl. I'm definitely a true hufflepuff - hardworking and patient! 💛🖤💛🖤
Harry’s dad transformed into a stag as he was an Animagus. His Patronus is a stag for that reason.
Pausing to add very minor point. Madame Pomfrey, the nurse in charge of Hogwart's hospital wing, is impressed that finally there is a DADA teacher who knows his remedies - chocolate after a Dementor attack.
lol
When it comes to wandless magic, with kids it's usually when they lose control of their emotions and usually not too powerful. I feel like I read somewhere that adult wizards can channel their magic through anything but for it to be strong enough (like in a duel) it has to be through something with a magical core.
I appreciate that thanks
Somebody was able to explain really well why Hermione is well placed in Gryffindor and isn't really a Ravenclaw. Yes, Ravenclaws are intelligent and love to learn, just like Hermione. However, the difference is: Ravenclaws are attached to the idea of learning for learning's sake. Meaning, they are content in accumulating knowledge of many different things, regardless if they'll ever use that particular skill or not. Hermione, on the other hand, is connected with learning with a purpose. For example, in the beginning she came to Hogwarts all prepared and having read many books already, but that wasn't in vain, she had a purpose. She knew she was a muggle-born and would have to prove herself twice as hard, so she felt that her having extra knowledge about things would then put her into a more level field with the other students whom had lived in the magical society all their lives. Another good example is: she doesn't care for Divination (Professor Trelawney's class), as we've seen in this movie. And that is because she doesn't believe in visions, etc. So she doesn't really think she'll ever have any use for any of that. A Ravenclaw would be interested regardless, because the more knowledge to them, the better.
So, basically: Ravenclaws want to learn new things at all times and value knowledge above anything else. Hermione values other things more, like friendship and loyalty and will then use her knowledge in a way to help those she loves. Hermione would 100% let go of "useless" knowledge in order to save a friend, etc. She values useful knowledge.
Hope that helps!
Let me start of by saying I appreciate this comment a lot and it does provide a very good insight into Hermoine’s character so for that I’m thankful to you. But I have to disagree, respectfully, and let me explain why. Ravenclaw like the other 3 houses have 3 main traits. Every house have more than 3 but each have 3 main ones is what I mean. So, Knowledge and Wisdom are two of those traits, knowledge is learning as much as possible, and we agree on that but Wisdom, now that’s where we might disagree. Wisdom is using that knowledge which you learned in ways that benefits you or others. So in your own words, Hermoine wants to learn (that’s knowledge) so she can be useful (that’s wisdom). The third main trait of Ravenclaw is Wit. Wit can be a couple of things but for this explanation I'll use the definition which is being mentally sharp and attentive. In the train scene, Hermoine realizes who that sleeping man was by looking at his suitcase which both Harry and Ron missed completely. Now, Ravencalws can be loyal and brave as well but that's not the most prominent trait, and similarly Gryffindors can be witty, intelligent as well. But when the 3 main traits of Ravenclaw, all match Hermoine, vs only 1 main trait of Gryffindor it made me think maybe she should be a Ravenclaw.
Now the explanation which I found the most acceptable for this was that the sorting hat considers what people want as well, not just what their personalities are like, the hat considered putting Harry in Slytherin but Harry didn't want to so the hat put him in Gryffindor instead and I presume the same happened with Hermoine.
@@AffanReacts you are absolutely correct. We do learn that in the books. Of course I'm not telling you which one but she does say something along that line.
Everyone has traits from all the houses. No one is one way entirely.
The First Book Explain it and she say it herself in the end of the First Movie. And just because you are a certain house do not mean you can not have traits from other Houses to. But most of the time their are values you simply value higher then others. And Hermione in the end of the day value Gryffindor Traits higher then Ravenclaw traits. :).
In a nutshell, Hermione wanted to be in the same house that the person she thinks is the greatest wizard came from.
Fun fact: Rowling’s inspiration for the dementors was depression. From their character design to their impact on people and their surroundings. I like to think the remedy of eating chocolate is a nod to most people having the tendency to indulge in sweets when depressed.
Ravenclaw pride 😊
That’s very interesting. I eat chocolate a lot. Like an unhealthy amount. I think I might be depressed 😅 jk that’s a good touch though. I like when writers do that. Go a bit deeper into it.
They were also heavily inspired by a certain Lord of the Rings creature
I think that the reason why chocolate helps is because it makes you liberate endorphines. It makes you feel good, feel pleasure
Oh and I feel pleasure for sure when eating chocolate 😆
@@AffanReacts Hiiiii! Glad that you answered! You answer everyone! And not just to say "thanks for subscribing, but real answers". You are unique!
Sirius is the name of the brightest star in the night sky. It's also called Alpha Canis Majoris or the Dog Star. Fitting name since Sirius is an Animagus that can turn into a dog.
That’s brilliant, first Remus Lupin now this. JK Rowling you bloody beauty!
Sirius, the Dog Star
the reason for the shift in the feel/style of the film is because they had a different director for this film from the first two. I personally think the shift is good it fits with the darker storyline.
I like it
Black (Padfoot), Peter Pettigrew (Wormtail) and Harry's dad (Prongs) (aka the Marauders) learned how to transform into the animals that they chose for their patronus, so Lupin (Moonie) would not feel weird about transforming into an animal. A patronus is rather like a spirit animal and can be the same as someone you are close to like a parent or loved one. The Marauders created the map too. Not sure how the twins found out how to use it. It is probably in the books.
It's theorized that the map could recognize mischief makers like Fred and George and revealed its secrets to them, similar to how it insulted Snape when he tries to read it.
That’s a very good point. Thanks 😊
Also the Shrieking Shack wasn’t actually haunted. It was built especially for Lupin when he was at school for him to safely spend his special nights there (the shrieks came out naturally from the wolf and the locals were so frightened they’ve built a mystery around it)
As well as the tunnel starting beneath the tree
Love that you were spot on with the assumption about the dog being an animagus like McGonagall.
The whomping willow was planted over that secret tunnel specifically so that Lupin could go to the Shrieking Shack to transform into a werewolf when he was a student at school. The Wolfsbane potion hadn’t been invented yet (it allows him to stay human in mind when he drinks it before the full moon), so he had to be removed from the students when he needed to transform.
An animagus is a wizard who can become an animal at will (like professor McGonagall becoming a cat). Sirius is a dog (Padfoot), Peter Pettigrew was a rat (Wormtail), and James Potter could become a stag (Prongs). They wrote the Marauder’s Map while they were at school when they started exploring the grounds as animals. They became animagi to keep Lupin company when he transformed into a werewolf as werewolves are only dangerous to humans, not animals.
that makes sense now, I was like why is something that deadly so near the school lol
@@AffanReacts edited that to give more context. Also, the Shrieking Shack isn’t even haunted, the villagers just heard Lupin as a werewolf screaming and running amok in the house when he transformed and so assumed it was ghosts.
The movie made a mistake with the Dementors, which leads to confusion. They are not on the grounds--Dumbledore refused to allow it. They're outside the walls. They aren't going to interfere with students in general, but if a student challenges them, they assume that they're protecting the escaped prisoner they're after. In general, this is a very prettily made movie, but it misses the whole point of the story. (Sirius and Lupin both talking about Lily instead of James is just... weird. This was the book that was mostly about James's history.)
ETA: It's not so much "No one knew it until the kids figured it out." It's more like Harry returning to the wizarding world started bringing things out of the woodwork--his first year, Voldemort wanted to get him at his most vulnerable, and therefore possessed a teacher and tried to get the philosopher's stone. Lucius decided to open the Chamber of Secrets in an attempt to discredit Harry. Sirius escaped Azkaban in order to save Harry from Peter. Etc.
Wandless magic--sometimes there's a burst of magic like what happened with Aunt Marge, but it's not magic that really works reliably or controllably.
I have to agree about them talking about Lilly, honestly no joke, made me think Lupin made a intimate relationship with Lilly lol
Also that explanation is good but what I meant to say was, Sirius was imprisoned this whole time, unjustly, and other people knew that he was innocent like Lupin and Dumbledore but never tried to do anything about it.
and that makes sense, the wand makes it easier and helps with controlling it
There have been others in other countries that have been using wand less magic. You are right when you say its harder to control but those who've mastered this skill for example Dumbledore and Voldomort are truly very powerful wizards. So if one can master that skill then they are very powerful in themselves and don't necessarily need a wand. However using a wand does help channel a young person's power into a magical object (the wand). That's one reason why Dumbledore and Voldy can do magic without wands. We learn in the books that Voldy could do this as a child. All kids who are born with magic can do this. Which is why Harry had revenge against Duddly and let the snake out.
@@AffanReacts I don't know how far along you are with the books at this point, but neither Dumbledore nor Lupin knew that Sirius was innocent. Both thought he was in fact the secret keeper for Harry's parents and betrayed them. Lupin grew suspicious when he saw Peter on the map and Dumbledore believed Harry, Ron and Hermione and Sirius himself after they told him the story.
I see, the way I interpreted Dumbledore and Lupin’s immediate interest in this was that they knew he was innocent. Because if they didn’t then why believe a group of kids than your own justice system. That made me think that maybe they thought he was innocent but were just waiting for something or someone in this case to try to find some evidence, rather than doing some about it themselves.
About the books. I wanna ask, would the books spoil the fantastic beats movies? I’m not sure if I should start reading them yet ir wait till I finish FB movies first.
@@AffanReacts No I wouldn't say they spoil the Fantastic Beast movies, there might be some hints so you will understand a lot of the plot better or at least some of the lore. But we get to know next to nothing in Harry Potter about anything that came before it (except Voldi's backstory and some stuff about Harry's parents and Co.). It's nearly impossible to spoil the movies because most of the plot is just new. The main spoiler might be the possible finale (it is assumed that it will be the fight between Dumbledore and Grindelwald) but you know that already from the first movie as well. So I would say, go for it :)
Btw I'm curious, do you speak German? You say that you speak at least 3 languages and I here and there hear a famous German swear word ;D
😃 “No, no, let go doggie!” I laughed at that for far too long. And then cheering for Marge floating away…I love u already😂
😂 I just wanted the dog to be safe 😭
There are basically two types of patronous. A shield, which is like a partial protronus (what Harry did with the bogart), and a corporeal patronous, which is a fully formed patronous which takes the shape of an animal that represents the caster (the stag).
I see, someone also mentioned that you need very strong and happy memory to do that corporeal patronous.
@@AffanReacts Yes. The happiness the memory brings the castor has to be strong enough to overpower the hopelessness the dementors bring on. And the caster has to believe in that happiness so strongly that it actually manifest into a physical entity which will protect them against the dementors.
Hermione was given the time turner by professor mcgonagall at the start of the year because she asked to take more classes and some would be at the same time, there were times she would go to a class with them first and then turn the time back but you only catch these in the books
that makes a lot more sense
The feather was from Buckbeak. It was from Sirius.
What I love about watching these movies with you is that you notice things I never have even after tons of viewings on my part. Thank you for pointing out things I’ve missed (and mind you I’ve read the books numerous times as well).
Speaking of which, I picked up on the Diagon Alley/Diagonally thing. Somehow I totally missed the Knockturn Alley/Nocturnally. Such a clever name for a dark part of town, thanks for that!
You’re welcome ☺️
Hermione got special permission from the Ministry of Magic and Hogwartz to use a time turner to help her attend more classes that school year. This was because she has an insatiable desire to learn and the high marks to bear the load of extra classes. The condition of not being seen wasn't to not be seen at all, but to not be seen together with her past/future self. She also was not allowed to tell anyone that she had a time turner which was why she didn't tell Ron or Harry about it. Her teachers also knew she was using a time turner to attend their classes. And then Dumbledore basically gave her permission to use it with Harry to "save two lives."
Yeah others have mentioned that as well, it wasn’t very clear in the movie, so thank you for sharing this info. You guys are making this journey so much better for me. I’m truly blessed 😇
Fact: the wizard at the Leaky Cauldron (the one who was stirring his drink without touching the spoon) was reading A Brief History of Time by Steven Hawking (a hint that there will be time-related things involved). Also, Hermione wears the Time-Turner in some scenes before is is revealed (when she tells Hagrid to take Malfoy to the hospital, for instance)
Yeah I mentioned that.
In the books, Trelawney is viewed as a fraud, after Harry tells Dumbledore about her prediction, Dumbledore says, "I believe that brings her total predictions to two". Even though basically everything she predicted comes true in one way or another. Except her predictions about Harry dying every other week lol
😂 so far we’ve had 2 frauds coming out of Ravenclaw… brilliant!
There is a theory that she is actually a really good seer she is just absolutely horrible in interpreting what she is seing ;D There is a video by supercarlinbrothers here on youtube where they go through all her visions in the books and explain why they are basically all correct, she just misinterpreted them
@@AffanReacts Trelawney's grandparent was a famous seer that was quite capable, its hereditary. (From what I remember). She has the ability but in small dosages and not frequent but she has given important historical predictions.
When they went back in time I think they just couldn't be seen by themselves, in the books Hermione says to Harry that wizards have killed themselves believing them to be imposters when they saw their time traveling counterpart. Also another ravenclaw student asks Hermione why she wasn't put in ravenclaw, she says the sorting hat did consider it but decided on Gryffindor in the end but she doesn't elaborate on why.
thanks for sharing that, I do however know why the sorting hat put her in Gryffindor, she actually explains in a scene in the movie, the first movie that is. And also we see it happen with HP himself as well. The hat takes your personality into account and chooses the best house for you then it also takes into account which house you WANT to be in. Hermione's personality is of a Ravenclaw for sure but she didn't want to be there so the Hat sorted her in Gryffindor instead. Same thing happens with HP, the hat thinks Slytherin is good house for him but HP says anyone but Slytherin please and so it doesn't put him there but Gryffindor instead.
TLDR: hat takes into account what house you WANT as well as your personality.
It makes me think of the chess board as well “books and cleverness, there are more important things” what she values is important too.
Normally you can’t do magic without a wand, but when wizards get angry or frightened, they can make magical things happen, like in the first movie when he made the glass vanish from the snake’s cage at the zoo. All wizards experience that. Dementors aren’t stupid, they’re just incredibly predatory. They don’t care about a difference between certain people, they just don’t give much distinction between who/what they are looking for and someone getting in their way.
Actually wandless magic is pretty normal, a lot of other regions/countries don't use wands at all, it's all wandless magic.
Harry did see a person by the lake. He saw himself. He thought it was his dad because he looks so much like his dad and it was too far away to tell the difference
There is a very good reason Harry has to go home to the Dursleys, but it’s a bit of a spoiler if you’re going to read the books. I don’t believe it’s ever explained in the films.
ah okay, perfect, I'll wait till I read the books then, thanks for not spoiling it btw I know the urge is real strong lol
@@AffanReacts I’ve been told I have a bad problem accidentally spoiling things so I’ve been working on it.
😂 don’t we all man. My cousin once literally told me the ending of a movie as we were watching it and he then just left the room cuz he realized what he had just done and was so ashamed, he couldn’t even look me in the eyes 😂
@@AffanReacts 😳 😂 at least he was ashamed and it was accidental. Good on him for not doubling down and pretending it’s all good.
@@AffanReacts I was going to explain it since its never truly explained in the movies. However, if your going to read the books it would be a minor spoiler so I won't say anything either. But it is a really good reason though, and as crappy as the Dursley's are it's very important that Harry returns to Privet Drive each summer after term at Hogwarts.
Saying "At least you guys aren't a bunch of rats" before the PoA 😳 Trelawney much?😄
😂
Haha I was looking for this comment! lol
Hermione is not a werewolf. She just made the howl out of desperation - plus the knowledge that it had worked before... :-)
I thought that because she said they only respond to Werewolf's call but she is not a werewolf so why did the werewolf respond?
@@AffanReacts It's "only respond to the werewolf's call" aka the 'awhhoooo' sound. You don't have to be a werewolf to be able to make that sound.
It works a bit like a birdcaller, the werewolf (when it can't see you) responds because it assumes there is another werewolf there.
For a more ligthhearted actual example, my friend's Mum can do a great sheep impression. When she makes the sound in the field, the sheep come running.
We don't know for sure, but I can think of several explanations.
1. The book Hermione got the information from, was wrong. Not her fault.
2. Lupine's werewolf had been locked away (literally and with the wolfsban potion) for so long, that it was desperate for contact with another werwolf. So, it responded to anything that even remotely sounded like one.
3. Werewolfs can't hear the difference. (This is likely the intended reason why Hermiones howl worked. Not everyone analyses
this things as much as we do)
4. When he heard the howling, he realized there was more prey in the forrest. And easier prey too. Why fight a giant dog and an adult wizard, when there are more human children in the other direction.
@@angieeigna5228 "Not everyone analyses these things as much as we do." :-) We Potterheads have been known to over-analyse on occasion. I'm trying to wean myself off the habit and stick to the books, common sense, and an acknowledgement of the author's fallibility as a human writer of an enormously long and complex story. :-)
I think it might be a combination of 2 And 4, that’s basically me saying I like those explanations more 😆
it's funny how Hagrid said to not pull out one of Buck Beaks feathers and yet at the end Sirius pulled one out to send to Harry would love to see story of that is Buck Beak go on a rampage after Sirius
That’s true but he also didn’t bow to buck beak when getting on it so I think Sirius might know something about these creatures that Hagrid doesn’t or Sirius has a broken arm ir two like Malfoy 😂
Maybe it was a feather that BuckBeak had moulted so it wasn't pulled out
All the redhead kids are Weasleys. Ron has 5 brothers and a sister. In age order they are: Bill, you'll meet him later; Charlie; Percy the prefect; Fred and George the twins; Ron; and lastly, Ginny.
This is definitely my favorite movie out of the 8, and a lot of that comes down to the directing. The studio took a chance with an indie director, and so we get this incredible stylized movie, that actually delves more into Harry's character and emotions more than even the book did. The book ironically is my least favorite of all the books lol. This movie stands out as a true gem, I honestly wish they had continued with this director for the rest of the movies haha
I agree, so far this my favorite movie too. I’m at Order of Phoenix though so maybe it’ll change in the future
1:07:59 the trio are in Gryffindor, but also has traits of the other Houses. Hermione is as intelligent as a Ravenclaw, Ron is fiercely loyal like a Hufflepuff, and Harry is as ambitious as a Slytherin.
Yup that’s very true, everyone has traits from all houses. No one can be one way exactly. Everyone lurks around in the grey area more than the black and white.
@@AffanReacts also idk if someone already said it but the reason Lupin could open the Marauders Map was cause he is Mooney. Because of Lupin’s condition, the others learned how to morph into animals so they could be there for him whenever he’d change, since werewolves only attack humans. Peter Pettigrew is a rat named Wormtail, Sirius is a black dog called Padfoot, and James was a stag called Prongs.
Yes they did mention it but still thanks for sharing this, if you see the next movie reaction, you’ll realize I’ve gotten a lot of answers to a lot of my questions already.
@@AffanReacts lmao yeah I’ve just started on that one.
It was on purpose!! There are amazing breadcrumbs sprinkled throughout the movies, but yes, Remus was definitely a nod to history from Rowling.
Lupin is also the Latin word for wolf ❤️
Everything in Harry Potter has a reason!!
I will comment more later, but I'm at work right now 😂😂😂 thoroughly enjoyed this, as always!!
I’m in class right now 😂 we both need to get off our phones
@@AffanReacts lol I can only imagine your phone is exploding from all of the notifications 😂😂 enjoy class!
There was a Remus too who was co founder of Rome according to legends, raised by wolves.
You didn’t see the video huh? That’s what we are talking about 😆
I love your comments on Remus Lupin being the first DADA teacher knows what's he is doing. It's even mentioned in books several times. I don't know it's explained or not but when you are around Dementors you feel weak, chocolate helps. That's why Professor Lupin gives chocolates.
He had me at chocolate. I love chocolate
Yeah, that beginning part is a mistake made by the movies. He should NOT be practicing spells outside of Hogwarts, he would get in trouble. In the books, He spends the summer reading spellbooks, but not actually practicing the spells.
I actually have several things to say to you now:
1. Did you managed to find out, who created the Marauder's Map?
2. The strongest form of Patronus is an animal, like a deer in case of Harry, and, by his own words, his father too. You should take a quiz about Patronus on Wizarding World.
3. You know, why Hermione got chosen into Gryffinfor and not in Ravenclaw? Because she chose it. The Sorting Hat considers it.
1. Yes but not from the movie, someone told me.
2. Thanks for that explanation, it wasn’t done very well in the movie
3. Yeah I remember in sorcerer’s stone that the hat doesn’t just pick people by personality but also what they want. That’s why I think Harry didn’t go to Slytherin either even though the Hat was considering that.
@@AffanReacts 1. Just don't forget how they introduced themselves on the map.
2. Try that quiz. I actually managed to get the Borzoi Patronus.
3. He directly asked the hat not to enroll him in Slytherin. And the hat barely touched Draco's head when it enrolled him. Maybe, he already knew which house he wants.
will take the quiz soon
and that's actually a good point
Hufflepuff has a badger mascot.
Badgers don't look like much but are very dangerous and can kill a full grown hunting dog.
The ginger guy was Mr Weasley.
Sirius like the dog star not serious. Hagrid's first name is Rubeus means keeper of the keys. Lupin is Latin for wolf.
Thanks for all that info, but the ginger guy I was talking about was Ron’s brother and Mr. Weasley’s son. Someone else shared that information. Thanks for sharing the names meanings as well. Lots of hidden messages. Love it!
For this movie they made the kids do their clothes themselves which is why it is more realistic
The director Alfonso Cuaron probably is responsible for those changes
It’s a well appreciated change. I liked it.
Harry saw himself and thought it was his dad because they look alike so much, only the eyes are his mother's. The stag is the corporal version of his patronus.
Hermoine planned out the time turner so that all of her past selves would be in different parts of the castle/not be able to see each other or have others see two Hermoines. While Hermoine wouldn't be surprised if she accidentally saw her past self, others would, and it could create a situation where people thought they were going mad, or others might think that there was dark magic/something nefarious going on. Also, seeing your past self could influence the course of events in unexpected ways and create paradoxes in time, kind of like the paradox of how Harry was able to save himself because he saw himself saving himself.. (I met my long explanation on Harry Potter reaction videos quota for the day).
thanks Julian, you've done a good job of explaining that.
Still don’t understand why it would matter if she saw herself. As a Time Turner user she wouldn’t be surprised to see herself.
Yeah that’s true but I focused more on the part where Julian said that it would lead to you “the time turner owner” wanting to change certain events that occurred in the past. Like Hermoine did with Sirius and Harry. To avoid those events from happening. But then they go ahead and do it anyways so idk I just accept the rules. Those are the rules and so let’s just go with it.
@@SimsinWonderland It creates a time paradox, where seeing yourself influences the outcome of whatever happens. This isn't necessarily bad - Harry saw himself at the lake, and was able to conjure a strong patronus because he knew that he'd already done it.
But say for example you see your future self fall and break a leg. The result would be that you'll somehow unknowingly create the conditions that lead to you breaking your leg - conditions that might not have existed had you not seen your future self do it. So it was the act of seeing it that caused it.
Time paradoxes are implicitly confusing, and there are many takes on time travel. That's just what I take from how this one is set up.
It could go either way, basically, you can make something good happen but you are also as likely to make something bad happen that wasn’t suppose to happen. I get it. Good explanation Professor Julian 😆
Hermione was trying to say "We can't let people see us". You know, people finding out there are two Harrys or they seeing themselves, for some people have killed their other-version-self thinking they are something else. I think that could also create time paradoxes and all that time traveling movie crap, lol.
😆 that time traveling movie crap is a perfect way to explain it 😂
Also, in the fifth book one of the Ravenclaws asks Hermione why she is not with them 'having her brains', and she replied that the Sorting Hat seriously wanted to sort her into Ravenclaw, but eventually chose Gryffindor. (There's actually a lot of stories about those who were torn between two houses... and a lot of consequences, that's all that is certain)
Ravenclaw pride!
Hatstall can occur.
Don’t know if anyone else has mentioned it already but Harry’s father James had a patronus that was a stag. Harry’s patronus is also a stag. His mother’s was a doe.
RAVENCLAW PRIDE!
Alright, time to start my homework and write an essay to make Professor Affan proud.
There is actually a reason for Harry to continue living with his aunt and uncle, sadly it never really gets explained in the movies. I'm not entirely sure if I should talk about it however, seeing as officially we're not supposed to know about it for 2 more school years. Let's just say he doesn't have a whole lot of choice for his own safety's sake. If you want to know more, let me know?
Harry doing magic outside of Hogwarts in the opening scene is actually a pretty big mistake in the movie. He's not allowed to do so and could be expelled for it. He isn't doing magic in the books, but he is doing his written homework under the covers at night.
They can't get in trouble for their use of magic before they go to Hogwarts. It's seen as accidental magic that can't be controlled, seeing as kids are rarely in control over the things they can do. As soon as they go to Hogwarts and get their first wand is when they need to start being careful.
Actually, I think that the movies forgot that they used the word 'bitch' in the third one, because they pride themselves on only having used one swear word throughout the entire series, and it's supposedly not until movie 7-2. I know that technically this doesn't count seeing as they're talking about female dogs, but... they're still saying the word. It only happens twice though, and I do believe that's the only word they ever use.
In the books Harry had to endure a full week of aunt Marge's bullcrap, with her making snide remarks about his looks and his family every chance she could get. He put up with it because uncle Vernon had said he'd sign his Hogsmeade form at the end of the week if he'd managed to keep his cool. He almost managed it too, this would've been the final night.
The Knight Bus is an actual form of wizarding transport (although sadly... normally without talking shrunken heads, I thought they were funny). If a wizard stands on a street corner and raises their wand in their wand hand the bus will be summoned and appears in front of you.
It can drive at immense speeds, but it can also teleport long distances. In this way they can transport witches and wizards fom one end of the country to the other in relatively short periods of time. But it can only drive on land, the bus doesn't like water.
'That ginger guy' is actually the third oldest Weasley brother. The two oldest are Bill and Charlie. This guy's name is Percy, and he's very ambitious. The movies vut his screen time quite drastically, and it's only going to get worse from now on. He actually had some decent character development in the books which Im sad they left out. It would've added quite a bit to the Weasley family's backstory.
Professors don't usually arrive at Hogwarts on the train, only one other professor is known to have ever done it. Usually they use other methods of transportation, or they live close by enough to simply be able to walk there. I believe there's even a couple who stay at Hogwarts year round.
Lupin arrived on the train because he was feeling ill. It'd been a full moon the night before the start of term and he was still feeling the effects of his transformation. He used the ride to Hogwarts to regain some of his strength by sleeping it off. Obviously we don't know about this yet, and the movie nor the book specifies this, but if you know the Harry Potter timeline it isn't too difficult to figure it out.
Little bit of background on the Dementors: Dementors are manifested by pain and suffering, they are the by-product of everything dark. They feed on hope and happiness, which is the weird sucking thing you saw them do in the movie.
In the books it isn't as visible, and it doesn't just affect Harry, it affects everyone they come close to. It just affects Harry worse because of the things he'd seen. Ginny is also quite shaky because of them, because of the trauma she's experienced in the second movie, being possessed by Tom Riddle and all that.
You can tell that Dementors are coming because you will start feeling cold from the inside out, and an unnatural darkness will surround you. The Dementors itself are said to be darker than this darkness.
If you spend enough time near Dementors they will suck every last bit of hope and happiness out of you in order to sustain themselves. You yourself will be left with nothing but your worst memories and are made to wallow in them.
No one knows what's under a Dementor's hood, and those who have seen it can't tell the tale. A Dementor will only lower its hood to use its most dangerous weapon... it's quite romantically called 'the kiss', but it's definitely not romantic. When a Dementor kisses you it will suck out your soul and destroy it. It doesn't kill the person, but it'll leave it as an empty shell incapable of anything, no speech, no emotion, no autonomy. Basically you're catatonic without chance of recovery.
Chocolate is said to be a way to counter the effects a Dementor has on you, spreading warmth through your body after a Dementor attack and clearing your mind. It has some basis in reailty, seeing as cocoa raises seretonin levels in the body, and seretonin is known as the 'happiness hormone'. I like that little fact.
Rowling created these creatures to symbolize her own depression, and well... dealing with depression myself I can say it's eerily accurate. I do love the Dementors for it though, they're some of my favorite Dark Creatures.
The Dementors are stationed at Hogwarts on the Ministry's orders. Dumbledore didn't want them there, believing that the school's protection would be sufficient (lol proven wrong), but the Ministry thought it'd be best to lend an extra hand. They originally wanted to place the Dementors inside the school, but Dumbledore most definitely didn't want that, seeing as it'd disrupt every day life within the castle. Eventually he gurdgingly agreed to have them on the grounds and he urges students to stay away from them.
Yep, the flying on Buckbeak scene really goes from 'omg wow amazing surroundings!' to '...are we on the titanic?' in no time flat.
(sorry for jumping from topic to topic, I'm writing along with the movie, pausing every time to write, so it probably looks like the world's most confusing essay)
The ghosts you see crashing through the window are members of the Headless Hunt. They are a group of ghosts who basically have their own club, only taking in members who have been beheaded. They should've been in the last movie, but weren't featured. I kind of like that they make a small appearance here. Nearly Headless Nick desperately wants to be part of the Headless Hunt, but he can't join because his head doesn't completely part with the rest of his body. According to Sir Patrick Delaney Podmore (or Sir Properly Decapitated Podmore, as Nick sarcastically calls him) Nearly Headless Nick can't join because he'd be unable to join in their activities, such as 'Horseback Head-Juggling and Head Polo'.
The knight in the painting is actually Sir Cadogan. He's a very helpful, yet unhelpful painting at Hogwarts, extremely inapt knight, riding a fat pony and unable to pick up his own sword. In the books he replaces the Fat Lady for a while after she's attacked by Sirius and has to be restored. None of the other paintings wanted to take on such a dangerous job, but Sir Cadogan volunteered.
He's removed after he lets Sirius into the common room one night in book 3 and slices the bed hangings around Ron's bed in order to look for Scabbers. Ron wakes up, starts screaming, wakes up the entirety of Gryffindor tower in the process, Sirius flees, and Neville gets the blame for dropping a week's worth of passwords for Sirius to find. Later on we find out it's actually Hermione's cat Crookshanks who steals the passwords from Neville's nightstand and he isn't actually to blame. Poor Neville.
(Manicure is fingernails, pedicure is toenails, just fyi)
The 'swinging medallion' or however you spell it is actually a clock's pendulum. It's the movie's clever way of saying 'pay attention to the time'. You can see clocks throughout the entire movie, hinting at the time travel aspect you will learn about later on.
Also, I just have to say, I like how you call Lupin 'Loopy Lupin'... it's actually a thing in the books. There's a character in the books unknown to the movies. He's called Peeves, and he's a Poltergeist, his job is to torment other students with rather cruel pranks... anyway, he runs into Lupin one day while he's leading students around the castle and starts singing 'Loony Loopy Lupin' over and over while making fart noises in Lupin's direction. Just thought it'd be funny to mention.
It's unknown how the twins truly figured out how to work the map, though it's speculated that the map recognized the twins as two mischief makers and it helped them out a bit, showing itself for brief moments when they got close to the right incantations.
The backstory to Sirius wasn't told in a separate room in the book... although honestly where they did talk wasn't a whole lot better. They were sitting downstairs in the Three Broomsticks pub, surrounded by other students who could all hear what they had to say. Yet it was all supposed to be top secret.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were sitting a table behind Fudge, Rosmerta, and the professors while they talked. Harry had to hide under the table, because unlike in the movie, he didn't have his invisibility cloak with him that day. Hermione magically lifted a Christmas tree in front of their table to hide them from sight so they could listen in.
friggin' comment section doesn't allow me to post my entire essay... to be continued.
To be fair the context they used it in bitch was not used as a swear word “if there’s something wrong with the bitch, there’s something wrong with the pup” she breeds dogs.
Wands are more like a channeling device most wizards need them but really powerful wizards sometimes don't, and even then iirc sometimes there are certain spells you can be particularly good at where you wouldn't need a wand
Hmm makes sense. Thanks 😊
I tried looking through the comments to see if anyone explained it already, but the thing with the Patronuses, there's basically a novice version that's just a mist or shield looking thing then a full power patronus called a corporeal patronus that takes the shape of an animal. They're usually significant as they relate to your personality or to a loved one, like Harry's taking the shape of his dad's animagus form. In the book, if I recall correctly, when Harry is passing out, he sees a silhouette in the distance and thinks it's his father but it's obviously him.
Also just heard you mention the book by Steven Hawkins and how you said it's the real world, the general time line for the events are the 1990s with each year corresponding with the grade Harry is going into, so year one is 1991 and so on, obviously it's a school year so it overlaps with the next year, it usually starts in July and ends in June
I appreciate your comments, they are very valuable. Thank you for all the explanations. 😊
No you’re completely right at the end about the real ness of the world now. The students look more like students and the moving paintings have more personal like that yelling at snape and Harry about the light or the fat lady and the other paintings getting scared and upset with Sirius attack it’s more lived in which is why a lot of people favorite this movie! People also speculate that Remus likes to eat chocolate because it’s poisonous to dogs (or werewolves 👀) buttttt it’s alll speculation -fellow Ravenclaw 🥰✨✨
The way you said "His dad was a stag ?" xDD I'm dead haha, you're very clever and funny. I'd like to explain things but everyone in the comments already did it for me x) So I'm simply enjoying your video ! It's just awesome to see your path to Potterhood ( not a real word haha )
The Sorting Hat seriously considered putting Hermione in Ravenclaw, but settled on Gryffindor in the end.
Someone mentioned that the sorting hat doesn’t just look at personality traits but also which trait each person care about the most. So that had something to do with it and also because well, they wanted the 3 main characters together so
Because she scoffs at everyone who thinks beyond what is written in books. Imagine her being in Ravenclaw calling everyone but herself a lunatic.
😂 good point
The hat did not settle , it chose to put her in Gryffindor because of what she value the most. (do not get why people try to put people in Houses that the sorting hat have not put them in obviously. Sorry if I sound rude but characters that already have been sorted have been sorted in their Houses for a reason. Peace. :)
@@erikalulea3608 OotP page 353. Quote:
"How come you're not in Ravenclaw?" he demanded, staring at Hermione with something close to wonder. "With brains like yours?"
"Well, the Sorting Hat did seriously consider putting me in Ravenclaw during my Sorting," said Hermione brightly, "but it decided on Gryffindor in the end."
Been waiting patiently for this one, thanks for another long vid! Gonna enjoy my time today
Awesome dude. Have fun.
Something that's never explained in the movies: dememtors cannot see animagus when they're in their animal form, and there are no human guards in Azkaban, so when Sirius recognized the rat in the Weasly's picture in the newspaper, he turned into his dog form and literally just walked out of the prison.
Oh wow, that’s a massive overlook, explains how he got out.
A little trivia about Sirius Black name giving away the reason he can transformer into a dog.
Sirius is the brightest star in our northern sky. Sirius is the main star in the Constellation of Canis Major one of Orion's, "the hunter" (the constellation) hunting dogs.
Thank you for sharing that 😊
i loved ur reaction and u r really good at catching details! as the movies go on things start to get darker and “complicated” (as in this movie) so i can’t wait to hear ur assumptions about all the things that will happen! :)
Assumptions galore 😂
This proffeser teacher was the most nicest one in the whole Harry Potter movies for the defense against the dark arts teacher
Thank you so much for showing my favorite part: the bus scene!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You’re pretty funny yourself by the way!!!
"oh hes the godfather so they were like close or some-"
"HE WAS THEIR FRIEND"
"okay"
lmao
😂
Badgers my dear, we Hufflepuffs be Badgers!
As for the movies, #3 is when things become a little less child friendly and get progressively darker from there.
honey badgers? if so I apologize sincerely, please don't hurt me
can't wait for the next few movies, I like the darker one more I must say although the first one was so good as well
Especially the 4th movie which makes the 3rd movie tame.
I feel like this movie mangled the story compared to the book the most, but it's still my favorite of the series. It has a very definite style separating it from the previous movies. The "lived-in" comment you made was exactly right. I feel like parts of the story were left out (like how Lupin even recognized the map was a map, let alone how to work it) that would have confused me if I hadn't read the book. Despite all that, I still think it has the best aesthetic and is the most fun movie of the series.
I get it now, now that people have shared the information about the Marauders. It must be frustrating for the readers. They leave a lot out. Which is okay because books have the liberty to be as long as they want whereas the movies are limited in that sense. But a one liner explanation for something this important (the Marauders) would have been good to include. It would have added maybe 10 seconds total or 1 minute if they did a whole scene.
That's my thought...a lot of explanation things from the book they leave out could have been solved with a quick 10 second line. I still like the movies though
Pausing to add: the books contain a number of amusing plot holes, including the fact that people are occasionally allowed to take money out of other wizard's accounts. Don't look for an explanation. You won't find one. :-)
😂 alright I won’t.
Hermione was given the time turner for her classes so Dumbledore and the other teachers let her use it since she was taking so many classes. Also Hermione only needed to not be seen at that ending situation, it didnt matter so much for school.
By the way, Im gonna let you know that as a big fan of the Harry Potter books, the book fanbase can be a bit rabid about them. Liberties are often taken with adaptions, and the Harry Potter movies do a good job with the source material despite them not being to go as deep as the books. You're gonna hear about how literally every movie in the series is "wOrSt OnE eVeR!!" because of this or that little thing, so I just wanna make sure you're aware that not everything people tell you in the comments is true.
Alright thanks for that info as well the insight into the fanbase 😂 there are always a few odd ones. Like Lockhart 😝
It can be difficult as a book -fan... the movies are really good, but they leave SO much out compared to the books. I know they have to, but it can be difficult to accept sometimes 😉
I guess that's why we sometimes write essays in the comments, because we want to tell you of all the OTHER great stuff too! 🤣
Did you notice that malfoys friend is the guy who gets beheaded: game of thrones episode 1
The deserter of the Night’s watch, beheaded by Ned Stark. Of course I did but when I make references to GOT people get annoyed a little so I try to avoid it as much as I can. Obviously I do slip a couple in there still 😝
19:32 Profesore, chocolat!! 😂😂 So good
Idk if anyone else told you but I think wandless magic is almost impossible to control. They mostly happen when you're young or when you're very emotional. It's next to impossible to willingly do at harry's age
Potterheads are very passionate, they are here to answer all my questions just like yourself and I love it.
It makes sense that someone like Dumbledore would do it since he is well one of the most powerful wizards if not the most powerful wizards in the world. And when HP does it well it almost never goes how he wants it to go.
Thank you for sharing that info. Your comments help me make better content in the future.
Honestly? I waited about… 10 years? More maybe, to read the books. I never stopped reading in school but I couldn’t bring myself to start the Harry Potter series because it was VERY thick for my comprehension abilities at the time and I really didn’t want to hate the movies.
I’m on the fifth book now and it’s worth it. I’m still paused there for a little bit but I’m blown away with how much the books explain but the movies just hint at. I suppose they assumed most of their audience had read them.
I also fell out of the series RIGHT before the last movie came out, so also didn’t see it until maybe 2019?
I don’t know what makes me skip around on things like this but it’s really made the experience of seeing it much better, as I was also old enough to understand and enjoy all parts of the movie. I love your commitment to this series, and thank you for the time you spend on it. I’ll be watching the rest with you 😊😊😊
That’s awesome and honestly that’s one of the reasons I watch films/show adaptations of books first. Books have the liberty to go in depth whereas movies don’t. So they’ll never be as good as the books. I’m annoying as is imagine how annoying I’d be if I had read the books? 😂 I’d complaining about every line.
Awwww, I love your reactions! You notice many things early on, all the little details (Even saying Harry has mom's eyes in the FIRST movie, like a pro!) and you do funny quotes and also English is your third language (just like mine, Czech is first, Slovak second) and you make such good observations and predictions. You are one of the smartest reactors I've seen so far.
Also sorry for flooding you with comments today, I am totally watching lot of your stuff in a row hehe, I love you :)
And yes, Draco is beautiful ^^
35:17 that knight is probably a knight from the books. I won't say who or why, but you will see.
thank you 😊
The reason the movie feels so different is because the director for this movie is different than it was for the first 2. He changed a lot about how the movie looks
I think I like this new version of Hogwarts better honestly.
@@AffanReacts most ppl do
Hi. I loved your reaction to POA. Not surprised you were suspicious of Lupin at first as Lockhart and Quirrel were dodgy. I was shocked that Lupin and Black were friend when I first saw it. Can't wait for GOF. Keep up the awesome work. 👍
Thanks a lot man and will do, Lupin was a such great character though. I hope we see him again.
this is really high-quality content if you ask me, I hope your channel blows up. Keep it going!
I appreciate that!
Oh btw, last comment, I know there's been a ton.
Remus uses the name Romulus as a code name in the books at one point (don't want to spoil which) lol but that isn't shown in the movies
Hmm nice so it was on purpose.
Lol “that ginger guy” is Ron’s brother Percy
that's that Prefect dude, we've met him before they never mentioned that or did I just forget?
@@AffanReacts yep at first year. Percy is the first Weasley to go in the wall at King's Cross and Harry ask him who is the professor Snape.
Ah okay, yeah honestly, it wasn’t until the end of the second film when I realized the Twins and Ginny were also his siblings 😆
@@AffanReacts The Weasleys are a bog family and they're all red-head.
Firebolt was given to Harry by Sirius
Also, in the book he got it just after he lost his Nimbus 2000 in the middle of the term, but Hermione told McGonagall it could be dangerous (at the time Harry and other still thought that Sirius was a bad guy) so McGonagall took the broom from him and examined it with other teachers
The result was that the broom was perfectly fine, so Harry could use it in the remaining 2 matches of quidditch cup and Gryffindor actually won it, for the first time in decades
1:07:45 she means that they can't be seen by themself in the past I guess.
Also, the fact that u remember Hagrid's house different it's cause it is actually different from this movie on, this is cause the movie director changed. This movie director is Alfonso Cuaron and i saw some videos that explain how he reinterpreted the whole geography of Hogwarts, so basically he changed some stuff like also the house of Hagrid.
The fact that Harry is not allowed to go to Hogsmeade is also for his protection, because the professor knows that Sirius Black is searching for him, so let him go around that city alone would mean put him in danger.
I like this Alfonso guy you know, he seems to make his trade seriously. It’s a change I welcome with open arms.
I appreciate this, thanks 😊
Just one thing though, and I’m semi joking when I say this but also semi serious cuz it does happen a lot,
About Hogwarts wanting HP to be safe. Let’s be honest, they don’t care about his safety, they only say they do 😂 He has been hurt on multiple occasions like I mentioned in the video and that could have been very easily avoided but no one (Professors) did anything to stop it from happening or help HP. I’m talking about not just this movie but from the very first one.
But I get you though, at least they are pretending that they care 😂 jk
Harry's father was an animagus who turned into a stag. So when Harry saw a stag he was sure it was his dad that performed the patronus. Harry's patronus is a stag.
Yeah that makes more sense
The reason McGonagal was so hardline about Harry's missing permission slip was because she was worried about Sirius Black and thought Harry was better off not leaving the school grounds anyway. That was why she wouldn't make an exception for him.
Also you keep asking why they keep sending Harry back to the Dursleys-- You probably know this by now, but the reason is because Dumbledore theorizes that the protection of Harry's mother's sacrifice will extend to her blood relatives. Harry is safe so long as he's under Petunia's roof. This is confirmed later on.
Yeah all that makes sense it’s just that Hogwarts is no longer safe is a line used over and over again throughout these movies 😆
tbf Dumblydore had a point, Harry was for the most part safe in the Dursley’s house… well safe from Voldy at least but not the Dursley’s 😆
thank you for explaining these and answering some of the questions 😊
To somewhat answer your question at 1:23:06 because I didn’t see anyone else answer:
Hermione is taking so many classes at the same time that she starts to get overwhelmed. She also has more fights with Ron and Harry in this book about her cat attacking Scabbers/Pettigrew and Harry’s Firebolt, which shows up much earlier in the books from a mysterious benefactor (Sirius, but at this point they don’t know he’s innocent). This plus all of the classes she’s keeping track of and studying for makes her extremely stressed and she starts messing up. At one point in the book she doesn’t show up for Charms at all and Ron and Harry find her exhausted, sleeping in the Gryffindor common room with all her books and homework.
The movie shows these slip ups but didn’t really present the fights and stress she was under so it seems out of character as a mistake instead of borne from overworking and stress.
At the end of the year she decides to drop Divination and Muggle Studies so she can have an easier schedule.
Thank you for explaining. I siriusly don’t understand why they include half of a story line, either use all or take it completely out.
@@AffanReacts thank YOU for such amazing reactions… I’m slowly getting through them now and can’t wait to watch your Lord of the Rings and Breaking Bad reactions!
Also there was a huge scene they left out that I think you would have enjoyed: Neville keeps forgetting the complicated passwords that the Knight makes up (you noticed him in the portraits, he takes over for the Fat Lady) so he writes them all down. Sirius gets his hands on this list (Hermione’s cat steals it for him), breaks in, and attempts to murder Scabbers/Pettigrew in the dorm bedroom. No one sees this attempt except Ron and of course he assumes Sirius just got the wrong bed and meant to kill Harry… Poor Neville gets in a lot of trouble for this!
Well buckle up cuz it’s going to be a bumpy ride! 😆
what else there is in HP movies are continuity errors.
Voldemort is a Half Blood his mother was a witch but his father was a Muggle. A Patronus is like defensive Animal Guardian. Anyone can have a Patronus Harry’s looks like a Stag. What Hermione said was that Dumbledore claimed whoever saved Harry must have been a Really powerful wizard because the way it was cast was very powerful. Harry was weak at the lake and said it was his Dad because he saw a Man from a Distance that looked like James (His Father) but like everyone always says Harry looks like his Father so that’s what confused him. Hermione explained in a Class that an Animagus is someone who chooses to turn into an animal. The Dog Sirius turns into is a Animagus. Lupin is a Werewolf meaning he has no choice. This movie is a Fan Favorite to many
22:30
exactly. Some ministers of magic have tried to do away with dementors and not have them at prison guards, but never were able to implement it. Dumbledore hated dementors and specifically fought with Fudge, but he insisted that they be there to catch Sirius. So Dumbledore conceded to let dementors in Hogsmeade and surrounding the school, but would not let them on the hogwarts grounds.
Introducing Professor Lupin played by David Thewlis and Serius Black played by Gary Oldman who has escaped from Azkaban prison and is looking for Harry Potter...or so it seems. Also the original actor, Richard Harris, died so he was recast with Michael Gambon so he will look differently
continuing my previous comment seeing as my comment was too long:
So, seeing as you keep saying Harry doesn't need a wand to do magic... umm, this is true, in essentials, you can do magic without a wand, but it's usually uncontrolled and unfocused. The strongest forms of magic will always come from using a wand, or another magical object with which a witch or wizard has a strong affinity. Wands are most typically used. It helps to focus and guide the magic, making it easier for them to control it. So while it is possible for witches and wizards to produce wandless magic it isn't nearly as powerful as it'd be with a wand.
Also, wandless magic usually stems from overflowing emotions, emotions and magic are linked together in a way.
Aside from that... a lot of the wandless magic featured in the movies are just there for the movie's sake. Just something to make it look cooler, or more magical, while in the books they'd either use wands for it, or it simply wouldn't happen.
VII is seven yep. Seven is actually a number you see a lot throughout the lore. It's the most magical number, it pops up everywhere.
Uh no, sadly Lupin's a Gryffindor, not a Ravenclaw.
Harry's father and mother died almost at the same time. Harry's father was the first to die, trying to hold off Voldemort as he was trying to get to Harry. He was screaming at Harry's mother Lily to get out Harry and herself to safety, but neither of them had their wands on them, thinking they were safe inside their on house, so they couldn't protect themselves.
And sure, thinking that might sound like a stupid idea during a war, but their house was actually hidden with a spell called the 'Fidelius Charm'. That charm makes a house invisible to everyone unless its secret keeper personally tells you the address. Even people who knew where to find the house will forget about it.
Wormtail (Peter Pettigrew) was the secret keeper to this charm, although everyone thought it was Sirius. The Potters made the switch to Wormtail at the last moment, wanting to show faith in their friend while the others were more magically skilled. Yet Wormtail... turned tail (eyyy) and went to Voldemort to give him all the information needed.
You're absolutely right about the changes in the castle btw, with a new director come new changes. I will admit, I like the new position of Hagrid's hut. It seems to be further from the castle now, as it's supposed to be.
Yeah, they made the scene with the tree somewhat moronic. It's a fun moment of relief in between dark scenes, but it does come across as a big facepalm to older viewers...
Just so you know... it wasn't like this in the books. Hermione's cat Crookshanks walked under the branches of the trees and didn't get attacked, and pushed his paw against a specific spot, making the tree freeze up. It's a magical cat, half cat, half Kneazle, which is a magical creature, and Crookshanks is super intelligent.
Harry and Hermione were able to get into the tree without being attacked by it (for the most part, they never got hit by it at least)
The term animagus was explained briefly in the DADA class with Snape, but the main focus was on werewolves. An animagus is a human who elects to turn into an animal, it takes years of training and a lot of complicated spells that can easily go wrong. McGonagall is an animagus as well.
Officially Animagi are supposed to be registered with the Ministry of Magic, but Sirius is an unregistered animagus.
Sirius, James, and Wormtail learned how to become animagi while they were still at school after finding out that their dear friend Lupin is a werewolf. Lupin was having a hard time with his transformations, which are extremely painful, and seeing as he was being kept away from victims to bite he would often bite and scratch himself, which is why his human form is quite heavily scarred.
His three friends learned how to turn themselves into animals in order to keep Lupin company while he was at his most dangerous. Their company made Lupin less dangerous, keeping him somewhat in his right mind, or at least more docile.
James turned into a stag, Sirius into a dog, and Peter into a rat. Their nicknames at school were Moony (Lupin), Wormtail (Peter), Padfoot (Sirius), and Prongs (James), and yep, they are the creators of the Marauder's Map, which is why Lupin knows what it is and how to use it.
The four of them would roam the schools, either as humans or in their animal forms and discovered most of its secret passageways, and ways out of the school, underground tunnels and hidden rooms. They made the map based on all the knowledge they gained.
They did all of this behind Dumbledore's back. Lupin feels somewhat guilty about this, knowing he betrayed his old headmaster's trust. Lupin was officially not even supposed to come to Hogwarts because werewolves are obviously extremely dangerous and he'd been a werewolf since he was bitten at the age of 4. Dumbledore, being the good man he is, said that he was allowed to come to Hogwarts anyway and that he would put in place safety measures, like the Womping Willow, for example. The Willow conceals a passageway to the Shrieking Shack, which is an abandoned house at the edge of Hogsmeade village. Lupin was to be brought there every month in order to transform, and stay there until he turned back into a human. This way he could safely go to school, and no one could reach him while he wasn't in his right mind.
Lupin did this at first, but after his friends turned into animagi they would often leave the shack and run around Hogsmeade and the Hogwarts grounds together while Lupin was still in his werewolf form. James and Sirius could turn into animals large enough to stop Lupin from harming the people around him if they ever ran into someone. An action that Lupin regrets nowadays, but at the time they found themselves really clever and cool.
There is also quite the backstory between Snape and the Marauders, they're kind of like Harry and Draco in a way, they really didn't like each other very much.
Snape was very interested to know where Lupin went every month, and why he was feeling ill around those times. One month Sirius told Snape that all he had to do was prod the womping willow in a specific place and he'd be able to go into a secret tunnel. If he followed that tunnel he'd find out what Lupin was hiding.
Snape did this, and caught a glimpse of Lupin in full werewolf form. James was there at the last second to get Snape out of there and pull him to safety, else he would've died, or otherwise be bitten and carry the werewolf curse as well.
Snape was forbidden by Dumbledore to tell anyone about Lupin, so he kept it a secret. Didn't really help his resentment much though.
(Lupin's full name is Remus John Lupin)
great, gonna need a third comment lol
Good explanation.
That’s a very detailed answer. I read it all btw. Thanks for taking the time to explain all of this. A couple of things that came to mind when reading this were, the Marauders turned into animagi when they would be with Lupin in his werewolf form. But the Werewolf attacked Sirius as a dog? So did he not do that in the books? Is this just a movie thing? Also why doesn’t Sirius have any scratches and cuts in human form? Does Animagi’s cuts don’t transform to their human form? Like they do with the Werewolf.
@@AffanReacts Lupin tried to get to Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and Sirius was in the way, which is why Sirius was attacked. It wasn't really a direct attack, but more of an attempt from Sirius to protect the trio.
Quite honestly... I don't actually have an answer to the last one. The state of Sirius' body was never really explained in that much detail. He might've had scars and cuts and bruises, but the explanation never really got any further than 'he looks emaciated and skill-like'. I apologize, maybe someone else has an answer, but in this case I don't.
It’s okay dude, you already answered so many of my questions and in so much detail as well. Thanks 😊
@@AffanReacts there's a 3rd comment I made btw, not to give you more to read, but in case you hadn't noticed it yet and still did want to read it, I figured I should let you know XD
If you did already read it, ignore this comment lol.
And no, thank you for giving me so much to answer, I'm not lying when I say this is one of my favorite things to do.
Reiterating that only children can do magic without a wand. And when they do, it is uncontrolled -like Harry's outburst at the beginning of the movie. He didn't mean to blow up his aunt... :-)
That might not be entirely accurate. Dumbledore stops Harry from falling during that quidditch match with his finger. So I guess everyone can do magic but you need to powerful enough to be able to control it. Like Dumbledore.
@@AffanReacts You have half a point. Dumbledore detects things with his fingertips in a way that Harry never understands. He just puts it down to "some Dumbledore-ish power" and doesn't question it. On the other hand, the Arresto Momentum spell definitely involved a wand, even if we don't see it in the movie.
@@drmikebass I think the lore is that you have to be very skillful to learn to do magic without a wand, and non-verbal spells as well. The wand is merely an instrument to hone and control the magic through, but I think its rare that wizards dont use their wands. But yes of course you have children who have uncontrolled magical outburts too!
You got too many comments for me to check, but if no one ever explained it to you, the first two movies were filmed mostly on location at an actual castle, which didn't give them a lot of space to expand as the area of Hogwarts expanded in the story. From 3 onward they are actually using (massive, impressive) sets and also CG to supplement the background. Hence the change in feel and the scope.
Basically Harry has to live with the Dursleys because Aunt Petunia ( his mother's sister) is his closest living relative and guardian. There is more to it, but that is all you need to know for now.
Okay thanks for not spoiling anything m. I very much appreciate it. 😊
They keep sending him back to his aunt's house because he is not 17 that means adult yet. He is protected by blood magic at that house which will broke when he is 17.
The director from this movie and onwards is different. First two movies were directed by the same director as the movie Home alone. Hence the feel of the movie is different.
In the books that knight took place of fat lady in entrance of Gryffindor dormitory.
One ghost at Hogwarts school namely Peaves also Called Prof. Lupine Lupi Lupi Lupin 😂
Maybe the map helped Fred and George and it wanted to be used. The map was created for rule breakers. Like Fred and George.
At first the sorting hat thought seriously putting Hermione in Ravenclaw.
The powerful PETRONAS will always take a form of an animal. The animal is representatives of the character of the wizard or witch. Harry's father could take a form of stag. Harry is more like his father. Hence his PETRONAS takes a form of stag.
In your language the original and copy should not be seen by one another.
Magic is in the blood of human wizard and witch. Wand just helps to channel the magic and control it. The powerful wizard can do the magic without any wand.
The Dumbledore did not like the dementors to be near the school. But he didn't have authority over ministry of magic to disobey their decision.
“Come on, Harry! Wave back, ya dick…but u know what hey it’s alright…it worked out well cause now Harry, I mean Hermione & uh Ronnie get to spend some alone time. Together.” 😃
I can see the story heading in that direction. They keep throwing little hints here and there so.
U know what? U don’t meet Luna for a little bit yet…but she’s 100% worth the wait & makes being a Ravenclaw pretty awesome.
Luna that’s the one. There were 3 on the wizarding world site, Lockhart, Trelawny and Luna Lovegood I think or something like that.
40:00 Btw the Hufflepuff Seeker that got zapped there was called Cedric Diggory. It will make sense later.
41:50 It's never explained in books. But there is a mobile game called Hogwarts Mystery, that is dated 7 years before Harry went to school. Main Character of that game meets a witch that knew Marudeurs (but also they meet Peter and Remus on multiple occasions) and after you get the map, she teaches you how to use it. MC is in the same year as Charlie Weasley and they are relatively close friends. In last few years at Hogwarts they also befriend the twins - that's most likely how they learned about the map.
It is semi canon though - it is based on whatever Rowling has written over the years and there has been some input from her few times, but not everything necessarily fits the timelines. But it is a good explanation really.
It's obvious that Marudeurs would leave the map behind and taught other generations. Having a direct line of troublemakers at school.
47:35 Google grandfather clock. It's pendulum mechanism.
48:10 That's a common practice in our world as well. If a dog bites a kid? Same situation really.
57:00 For all we know Harry, Hermione and Ron all end up together at the end.
59:10 This means that the spell twins gave Ron in the first year to turn the rat yellow could be a real spell and not a prank/joke. After all it was not a real rat.
1:07:20 Normally McGonagall would allow it. But remember that literal murderer was on the loose hunting for Harry. Going to an unprotected village? That's a death wish.
1:07:35 No - she means it like they can't be seen by themselves. This can make you go mad. Nor they can be seen there by Dumbledore or Minister, because they will think they took Buckbeak away.
In general sense, though - through the year she was supposed to not be seen as well. But that's mostly due to time complications. It's easier to not break time and her own life, if she only meets people in one time.
She was mostly only using the jumps to go to the class - and then immediately going back in time to continue with her friends to second class. It's easier to not mess up stuff this way. Like for example talk about stuff that gonna happen in the future or retroactively fixing certain things.
1:08:10 All of them should be in other houses. Ron is whatever, he isn't really brave early on - easily could fit in Hufflepuff. And Harry was notoriously acting like a good Slytherin, always spying after Malfoy, always trying to do stuff alone, not to mention his ties to Slytherin through his Parseltongue skills.
1:08:45 Already cancelled you on Twitter and reported to UA-cam and Police.
1:13:15 They learned about Werewolves. You can really not do a lot against them, not with their set of skills. Also panic, also it's Lupin so they don't want to hurt him. Also book had it in slightly different way, so it's just movie's bad decision. Like Harry using Lumos in the first seconds of the movie, when he is literally not allowed to do it outside school.
I’m a ravenclaw as well! I like that shirt. It’s nice. I have an awesome ravenclaw hoodie. It’s the best. I love that you’re going to read the books. Such a great set of books. Really well written. LOTR is prob my fav trilogy.
Welcome fellow Ravenclaw. I have a couple more things that you’ll see in the next video of HP btw. Oh and I started LOTR already btw if you are interested in it
Ello again. So, I dont know if the other commenters answered this already but I'd like to clear some things up of this movie you had trouble understand with.
So:
1. Magic can be used without a wand and with. It's however determined how strong the spell is if you can use without wand. And your own skill too. Moving things can be done without using ur wand but if you wanna like cast a spell such as Expelliarmus, one must use their wand.
2. The same goes for non verbal and verbal use of casting spells
3. Voldemort isn't a mudblood/muggleborn. He is a Half Blood like Harry since his mother Meropi (I believe) was a muggleborn and his father was Tom a pureblood or half blood.
4. The broom Harry was given at the end of the movie, was gifted by Sirius Black. Sirius gave Harry another broom when he was little for just playing. Fun fact, the flying motorcycle that Hagrid flew in to deliver baby Harry to Privet Drive is actually the motorcycle of Sirius Black.
5. The reason why Hogwarts looks different is because the movie makers redesigned it from the the 1st and 2nd movie. Everything is changed apart from the Great Hall, Grand Staircase tower, East Wing Entrance, Viaduct and Viaduct courtyard, the walkway to the boathouse and the thingy next to the Grand staircase tower that is called the West Wing Entrance. The landscape is new as well as the wooden bridge, the location of Hagrids house, the Bell towers, the long gallery, the training grounds tower, the Clocktower and its courtyard.
In the next movies, Hogwarts will be changed except of the same parts that hasn't been changed now.
6. Dementors come only when they sense that they're in need or when they have been sent to the location. The time of day or night or cycle of weather doesn't matter at all.
7. Harry's father isn't a stag. His Patronus is. A Patronus is a form the white flash takes after being casted out of the wand by Expecto Patronum. A Patronus takes the form of an Animal, always. Harry's and James' their for is a stag, whilst Lily's is a doe.
8. The reason why Snape was so sceptical about Lupin has to do with something else. That will be explained in the 5th movie if you will pay attention.
9. You should search things up yourself about the Time Turner. Its hard to explain.
10. An Animagus is a human who can turn into an animal. James, Sirius, Peter and Mcgonagall can all change into an animal. James into a stag, Sirius into a haund, Peter in to a rat and Mcgonagall into a cat.
11. The thing with the Dementors is indeed stupid. But it's a force of nature. Like how water keeps us safe but also can destroy us. Dementors were created in the most cruelst of ways by a wizard named Ezkridis. He lived in a place in the Nord Sea that's now famous for being called: Azkaban. Back then, he went crazy for living there. He went mad, so mad that he'd find lost sailors and torture them in his yet to be Azkaban place. These sailors eere to become Dementors and that combined with depression, dark magic and other crazy, evil things, Dementors were created. The Dementors would suck out ur happiness untill there is nothing but depressuon left in you. And after that, they would take your soul (that was that blue ba out of Sirius' mouth). Don't worry, the reason why they are used is because of Fudge, the most stupid minister of Magic there is. Once he is replaced, people will be the guards of Azkaban and Dementors will be no longer.
Dementors are what I find to be the darkest creatures in cinema and storytelling history.
(If you wanna know more, keel track of this comment since I will be editing new questions)
Awesome 9th one is my favorite 😂 thanks again, for this, incredibly detailed yet at the same time avoiding spoilers, comment.
@@AffanReacts no problem, anything for a co Potterhead
@@AffanReacts honestly, you should buy a wand before the 6th movie. Just one from Noble Collection
@@sandermeevis524 Great explainations of everything, just a little edit though for number 3..... Merope (voldemorts mother) is the pureblood (descendant of Salazar Slytherin) and Tom Riddle Sr (Voldemorts father) is the muggle, making Voldemort, as you said, a Half-Blood. You'll get so much more information about Voldemorts back story in book 6 @Peshawari Affan (but unfortunately not much of it in the movie)
@@lollyboyhair1 yea, I probably confused that bit. My apologies for both of you. I should've known better. Thanks anyway for correcting me. Much appreciated
About home work over the summer. Your're right, no magic allowed outside school. In the books they had homework during summers too, only they wrote essays and such.
okay cool, that's very interesting, but they still let him go free
@@AffanReacts they let him go free because they didn't want him to go out with Sirius Black on the loose. And at Hogwarts he was supposed to protected by Dumbledore. Same when Hermione used the spell to repair his glasses in HP 1 and 2, this scenes weren't in the book. Sometimes the movies fucked up the rules of this universe for good littles scenes. But that's not really important
That explanation makes sense, in their eyes Black was a bad guy and after Harry’s life. Thanks for sharing that.
I burst laughing at your excitement at Aunt March floating while Harry was leaving hahahaha, loving the reactions
I know I'm a bit late to your reactions, but I have a really curiousfact about Harry Potter, Hogwarts their dress roupes were based off Portugal schools/students when JK Rowling was an english teacher, Salazar Slytherin comes from a the name of Portugues dictator
That’s a very interesting point, thanks for sharing 😊
What an American would call a "fender-bender" is described as a "prang" in Britain. Ernie Prang, the bus driver. :-)
Ah okay, that makes sense, also, I’m not American 😆 well I became an American but not originally.
That’s hilarious - thanks for that. I had no idea. Twenty years later and I still love little tidbits like this.
Wow, really?! I never knew that either! That's awesome.
Not criticism at all, but I'll say this under every video with this shirt - it's an eagle, not a raven!😆
😂 movie vs book. Let the battle begin!
@@AffanReacts not a movie vs book thing. Its universal who made a mistake in the merch and made it a raven and now it can never be fixed
Someone said that the movies have a Raven as the emblem but the books the Eagle, that’s why I said that. I’m obviously not sure though since I know every little about this world.
Picture yourself at school. You finish one class, which lasts an hour. The time-turner puts you back one hour. Now you have to be a bit shifty to slip into your next class unnoticed. The teachers know what's going on, but you are not allowed to tell your friends...
He didn’t say the students he said the one that gets in their way
Remus Lupin: like you said, Remus was one of the founders of Rome, and legend says he was nurtured by a wolf (well, actually some historians think about another possibility: in Rome, prostitutes were given the name of 'lupa", "she wolf", so...), while Lupin comes from the latin word for wolf. So, yes, Lupin's secret was pretty obvious from the beginning.
Also, director Alfonso Cuarón believed the werewolf thing was a reference to Remus being homosexual, and you can read a little of that in the acting at some scenes. Then, he found out he was wrong, obviously. Rowling clarified that Lupin's condition was a reference to HIV/AIDS, and the prejudice people have against someone living with that disease.
😂 yup it was and no one put two and two together
@@AffanReacts I just edited my comment to add some trivia. Thank you for your answer and greetings from México!
When you donate blood the doctors always give you chocolate because it's good for the blood
“nooooo, your dad is dead harry” - died laughing
Ello, I just wanted to say the I watch every reaction of yours. Anyway, at the time of writing, I am in the first 17 minutes of youre video and I couldn't help but notice how much you focus on the background and its details as much as the foreground. Like, you know how the plot goes and you understand the characters but whule doing so, you see a random man disappearing a glass. Or a rope. Or you recognize Percy Weasly, or you read the newspaper about Black.
Coming from a movie buff and a guy whi does the same things as you, I am really satisfied with they way how you watch things. It makes watching your reactions so much better - hell, it even makes your reaction so much better.
You also include the big moments as well as the small ones and I know that requires a lot in the editing stages but it makes your video's 10 times better than other reactors. And Ive seen quite a lot. For me, youre probably top 3 reactors out there, if not top 2. Your content and editing work is so professional and really enjoyable to watch and together with your capability of picking things up, having serious moments and being funny in a goofy way, makes everything basically perfect.
So please keep doing what youre doing. Youre doing it perfectly and your effort is and will be rewarderd. I remember when you was on 200 subs. Look at you now. Proud feelings here man!
Have a nice rest of your day and thank you for taking the time to read this if you did!!!
Holy guacamole dude, this comment melted my metal heart 😆 thank you so much man. I will try not to disappoint.
Just to self improve, could you maybe share the other 2 reactors? I would like to know what it is they do, I could maybe implement that in my videos.
@@AffanReacts No problem my dude, its the least I can do for such great content.
So the other 2 reactors are Star Wars Theory and ItzAPrimate (or smth).
I know Star Wars theory does a lot of other things but when he watches Star Wars content, his reactions and watch along parties are always attended by me and many others. The reason why I watch him is because he and I share the same amount of knowledge about Star Wars.
ItzAPrimate I watch mainly for the same reason as you. He also pays a lot of attention to everything. However, him not so much at the details but at the shots, direction, plot and he eveb goes beyond the plot by simply comparing it to real life.
Anyway, if you want ideas onto how to improve, of course you can for example apply patreon to it. That subs like me can watch your content early acces in exchange for money or smth. This wouldnt affect your content in any way whatsoever. Maybe an other idea is to host watch parties (watch alongs) on Twitch or even UA-cam.
Also, I'm also gonna make a comment about HP 3 related stuff since some things were not as clear to you. I just finished ur vid and Ive got a lot of knowledge ab HP too. Same for Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean. Even Marvel.
I am thinking about Star Wars, but that’ll have to wait. I need to finish this and LOTR first. Then I’ll start that as well. I’m also doing Marvel already. I do have a patreon but it’s not very well setup. I am just not sure how to properly do it. I actually never intended to make this channel into something more than just a way for me to watch movies and shows 😂 I’m not originally from the Western Hemisphere of the world so pretty much all the Hollywood stuff is new to me.
But yeah I’ll try to put something together on patreon.
@@AffanReacts I'd advise you to do Star Wars first and the LotR/the Hobbit. Star Wars has a much bigger fanbase than LotR so therefore you'll be experiencing more reward. LotR is also 3 hours long per movie. After doing that, Id advise Pirates since thats like on the top as well
Well the thing is I’ve already started LOTR I’m editing it as we speak and also I saw the extended version, it was nearly 4 hours 😂
Will check out Pirates of the Caribbean as well.
If you have any other suggestions, do let me know. 😊
Awesome shirt! Were did you get it if I may ask. Need one. Thanks!
amazon, but it's from the official Wizarding World merchant though on amazon, I say that cuz there are some fake ones as well not sure how good they are though but yeah this one's a pretty nice shirt indeed, I got another one as well which you'll see in the next movie reaction which is on the channel already btw
Pausing to say: yes, another bit of artistic licence. Harry is very aware and conscientious about using magic out of school, He is terrified, after his first warning, that he is in serious trouble with the Ministry of Magic because of his uncontrolled outburst, and totally flummoxed when the Minister of Magic himself lets him off the hook. Why?
Edit to add: if it wasn't clear, Harry carefully avoids doing magic over the summer break. Especially something as minor as a single spell. No way.
yeah he himself asked shouldn't he be in trouble lol
BTW, all wizards and witches are capable of doing magic without wands, but wands are tools to control magic and do greater magic than raw power. Harry didn't get in trouble for the snake at the zoo, because the books explain that young kids don't have proper control. But once kids get wands/start school they are expected to not do magic outside of school.
@@alharairah2214 Yes, Lisa's right...all wizards and witches are capable of magic without using a wand but it does require a lot of talent, but the exception is when (usually younger wizards who havent learned to control their magic yet) they have an uncontrollable emotional outburst when theyre very angry or upset.
p.s Harry doing magic under the covers in his room at the start of the movie was just the directors artistic liscence, but shouldnt really have been in there because obviously, Harry's not allowed to intentionally use magic outside of school.
So, this movie is all about _time_ and _self identity_ (for Harry). (I teach some critical literary classes, including the Potter series.)
And Parvati is afraid of cobras- she's Indian. Lupin is afraid a the moon because he's a werewolf...
That’s awesome
