Yeah, the movies do a horrible job explaining/showing that... not a major thing and i know it's impossible to include everything, but it would of taken 2 seconds to flush that out and make more sense to those who haven't read the books. Honestly, that's why Goblet Of Fire is my least favorite movie while being my favorite book... there's so much important information missing, they could have done 2 movies on it. Whereas, Prisoner Of Azkaban is my least favorite book, but it's by far my favorite movie because of how well It was adapted... Which makes me wonder, how would the rest of the series been had he stayed on board for the remaining films? Still a great franchise though, the entire cast couldn't have been better either. Also, while there couldn't of been a better Snape, i really dislike what the writers did with him as a character. I hate how they made Snape the good guy pretending to be bad. No, he was a terrible abusive mam that actually hated Harry, and only left being a death eater because Voldemort killed Lily, and then protected him later on because he felt he owed his mother Lily a life debt because it was his fault that Voldemort heard the prophecy to begin with, therfore marking her entire family for death... So, he knows, the only one he can blame for his 'loves' death, is himself. Hell, he really thought he had Voldemort convinced to only kill Harry and James, while leaving Lily alive... Which, in Voldemorts defense, he did give her multiple chances to step aside, but i guess for some reason Snape didn't envision Lily sacrificing herself to protect her only son....and even if she did step aside, what did he think would happen? She'd all of a sudden come back Snape and they'd live happily ever after? So, he didn't give two shits about Harry or any other kid besides Malfoy, he hated Harry as much or more than James himself. Everything he did was either out of selfishness or guilt, not out of the goodness of his heart.... and it's hard for me to swperate book Snape from movie Snape, cause they're a lot different... but he played what he was given to absolute perfection.
Neville and Ginny lead th DA in Harry's absence. That is why Neville was the one to retrieve the Trio. Why he was giving orders. Why Harry told him to "Hold the fort." Why Prof McGonagall entrusted him to lead the blowing up of the bridge. Neville was always brave. He just lacked confidence until he got a wand of his own that would work with him.
Prof. Trelawney (Divintaion Teacher) predicted this about the Dark Lord while interviewing for the job at Hogwarts, She told this to Prof. Dumbledore. The prophecy goes on like this - The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not And either must die at the hands of the other for neither can live while the other survives The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies. This prophecy was overheard (not fully) by snape and he told this to the dark lord briefly because he was a dark wizard at that point of time working for Voldermort with utmost loyalty. But on hearing snape, Voldermort came to the conclusion that the boy who would kill him would be born at the end of july. And believes that the boy is be Harry Potter. So, it becomes his mission to kill him. And upon knowing that the dark lord would try to kill harry potter (lily potter's son). He would then go on to tell Dumbledore the whole story of how "Voldermort thinks its her son". and from there he requests him to keep her safe (because he loved her). And ultimately Dumbeldore fails on keeping her safe and ultimately snapes becomes a good guy working as double agent for Dumbeldore all the time to get all information and to do significant tasks in order to kill Voldermort ultimately. But it doesn't change the fact that due to snape, lily potter was killed. Because he was responsible for telling the prophecy to Voldermort. Fun fact- As the prophecy states that the boy who will kill Voldermort would be born at the end of july. So there were two option, Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom because Harry was born on 31st and Neville on 30th. But, Holdermort chose harry as the boy from the prophecy which made him the chosen one. But this implies that Neville also could had been the chosen one if Voldermort would had chose him as per the prophecy.
Would I find kind of interesting. There is only one line in that whole prophecy that would disclude Neville from STILL being the one prophesied about. Because there's more than one thing that Neville did, that were essential to the final victory. The biggest obviously being when he killed the snake. But right before that final battle in his little speech when he pulled the sword from the hat. Voldemort was actively mocking him and saying he was a disappointment. Thinking he HAD NO POWER and then he pulled the sword and Harry jumps up. They both displayed unexpected power simulteaneously. And it SCREWED Voldemort up. But.....obviously the line about marking him as his equal DOES disclude my man Neville. Though hes right next to Harry in winning that victory.
GREAT REACT! Daniel Radcliffe is only 3 days younger than I am, so as I got older, so did the actors in the films! In 2014, I met Daniel Radcliffe at a prescreening for his romantic, comedy "What If", and we wished each other "Happy Birthday", since the screening was less than a week after ours. I even asked him a question about being naked on stage or in films, he replied "Get with your Director early, know what you are comfortable doing, and lifting weights helps too!" These films will "ALWAYS" be a reminder that the Good in this Muggle World is Worth Fighting For! ^_^
Wands can not be used against their masters. That is why Voldemort didn't use the Elder Wand to kill Snape. He believed it wouldn't work. That is also why the Wand only killed Voldemort's soul but not Harry.
1:14:20 That hug was improvised thats why Draco looked so confused and why it was so awkward, that part and Momma Weasley dispatching Bellatrix are my favorite parts of the movie.
In regards to the King's Cross station scene... Remember we do have wizards who die and then become ghosts in this world. What I always understood when Dumbledore said he could "Board a train" and it would take him "On", was that boarding a train would be him dying and moving On to whatever is next. It's never explicitly explained but I always assumed that all Wizards come to a similar place of 'Purgatory' when they die and you can choose to either move "on" or come back as a Ghost. Nearly Headless Nick mentions something about "being given a choice to come back" in the 2nd book and that most Wizards choose to go "On". But idk, I quite like that's it's never fully explained. Something that's also not well demonstrated in the movies is that Harry sacrificed himself for everyone in the castle in the same way that Lily did for him. Voldemort in the books kept trying to use a silencing spell on the crowd when he comes back with Harry's body and it doesn't work. Voldemort couldn't have seriously harmed anyone in the castle even if he wanted to. He blasted Neville back with what looked like a powerful spell and he just gets back up.
The Elder Wand can be obtained by disarming the current owner in a duel/battle. Voldemort thought that Snape was the owner because he killed Dumbledore not realising Draco has disarmed Dumbledore moments before Snape killed him. The wand worked only for him to do little damage and the horcruxes protected him for a while. Once all horcruxes were destroyed Voldemort used the killing curse still believing he was the true owner but the Elder wand does not turn on its master ( Harry) therefore rebounding the curse back on him finally destroying him. Voldemorts downfall was of an obsession for power and underestimating what people would do for the ones they love.
Got so bad I just started to fast forward the parts where he was holding the cup. No way they could have realized of course, but the misphonia hit HARD. lmao
Basically, when Voldemort "killed" him, Harry was sent to Limbo, the realm between the living and the afterlife. When Voldy created his new body in Goblet of Fire, he used some of Harry's blood. And remember how Harry had the protection from his mother's sacrifice? Because Voldy used Harry's blood, the two of them became linked. So, because Voldy was still alive and Lily's sacrifice ran through both of their veins, he became the anchor that allowed Harry to return to the world of the living. Plus, when Harry sacrificed himself and allowed Voldy to kill him, the same protection was cast from Harry to everyone else at Hogwarts. So, from that point going foward, nobody else on Harry's side could die as long as he was still alive. But, as usual, the movie doesn't go into detail like the book did.
Harry didn’t really die, only the horcrux inside him died. Voldemort used Harrys blood to come back in the fourth book, so Lillys sacrifice that kept Harry alive, lived in Voldemort too. Voldemort died because his own spell (avada kedavra) came back and hit him when Harry took his wand using “expelliarmus”.
Snape was not ready to harm Minerva as they were colleagues. She might have been strong and powerful witch but Snape would likely have overpower her. I do believe Snape respected her a lot. Minerva casted strong spells on Snape but he deflected Minerva’s attacks on his two death eaters and took them out and took their wand while fleeing. Minerva was bit confused as Snape dint engage in fight.
Remember the Elder wand became Harry's after he took (won) Dracos wand? Which meant the elder wand recognized Harry and wouldn't harm it's true owner, thus only killing Horcrux that was Voldie within Harry, but not killing Harry soul. The whole series was about the choice we make to be "Good or Evil." Sirius said it best to Harry when Harry was questioning why the dementors effected him so much. "You're a good person, in which a lot of bad things have happened to..." something to that effect. That's why I think Harry was given a choice.
Harry was saved by his mother’s protection both as a baby and in this movie. It was the “power of love” that gave him the ultimate protection. He had to be willing to sacrifice himself for it to work. That was the key that Dumbledore was saying in the pen sieve flashback.
"Dispose of your dead with dignity" pisses me off to no end. You dispose of TRASH, not people, and what exactly does No-Nose know about dignity? Bleh. Enjoyed the series, guys! Cheers!
Elder Wand belonged to Harry, that's why Harry could not be killed by Voldy - since its allegiance is towards Harry Hence, Voldy's Avada during the final battle killed Voldy himself
The King's Cross Station heaven bit was So beautiful in the book. Dumbledore explain the Harry dead or alive choise pretty good, but I still have a hard time wrapping my head around how Harry could still choose life *. You could read that particular chapter, for the beauty of Harry's and Dumbledore's friendship. Just keep kleenex nearby. * I was sorted into Ravenclaw twice, but I already picked Hufflepuff, and this prove I was right. 🤭
There is also the fact that Harry possesed The Deathly Hallows. The Invisibility Cloak was passed down from James through Dumbledore. The Resurrection Stone came from Tom's ring, the Horcrux Dumbledore destroyed. He put it in the Snitch for Harry to find. The Elder Wand which he won from Draco. Making him the Master of Death.
Voldemort was killed by his own Killing Curse rebounding on him 😁. He was using Aveda Kadwvta, Harry was using his signature Expelliaramus. Dumbledore never owned all 3 deathly hallows at once. He borrowed the invisibility cloak from Harry's father before he died, and anonymously gifted it to him at Christmas. Dumbledore didn't get the ring with the resurrection stone until much later.
Oh, and as for why Harry got a choice between life and death; it's been ages since I read the books so I'm not sure if this is cannon or my own interpretation, but: Harry had all 3 Deathly Hallows, which makes him the master of death, so he was given the choice. If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone with a better memory for the novels will correct me soon 😂
Dumbledore had the Wand since his duel with Grindelwald in 1945. But he gave Harry back the cloak he borrowed from his father in book one. And he did not obtain the stone from the ring until the summer before book 6. Harry, on the other hand, may have unknowingly been Master of Death. He owned the Cloak, was master of the Wand, and was in possession of the Stone. But he gave up possession of the Stone when he willingly dropped it in the forest before meeting Voldemort.
In the book slytherin house got to leave like the rest of the underage kids and people who didnt want to remain and fight, some hufflepuff and ravenclaws who were of age stayed and basically all the of age gryffindors. Draco and friends snuck back to the school, so did Colin with the camera from the 2nd movie even though he was underage, Colin died in the battle.
Griphooks reason for betraying them was for the sword. In the books the Goblins were the ones who fashioned it for Godrick Griffindor and if memory serves me right he refused to pay them. They developed a grudge against Gryffindor and the goblin king decreed that the one who gets the sword back will be greatly rewarded. Many goblins had tried but none succeeded. Griphook nearly succeeded here
I don’t think it’s because they weren’t paid but because goblins believe that things made by them belong to them and are simply on lone so they expected the sword to be returned to them once Godoric died but godoric put a spell on the sword to show up and appear to those Gryffindors who were in true need of it and so the sword always remained attached to hogwarts. Griphook wants the sword back because he believes it belongs to goblins but it’s useless to have it because the sword always returns to hogwarts and its students who need it. Godoric was smart I have a feeling the spell makes the sword return to the sorting hat once the need is gone until it’s needed again.
When McGonagall sent the slytherins to the dungeons she was sending them to their dormitory that is where the slytherin house dormitory’s were lol. It just so happens to be the dungeons which is karmic really. 😂
@cayu1888EXO The movies never actually said that Slytherins common room was in the dungeons. The first movie had Dumbledore send everyone back to their common rooms including Slythein and chamber of secrets never showed us it being down there
The conversation between Dumbledore and Snape where snape shows Dumbledore his patronus takes place during the 6th book, although it's never told until the 7th book, and Lily's patronus was also a Doe, that shows how much Snape loves her and always has.
If I remember it correctly Dumbledore actually did give Snape instructions after his death, from his portrait . And no, Snape did Not care about Harry, only for his mother. Harry, looking so like his father, was always a middle finger in Snape's face just by existing. A walking talking reminder that Lily, the love of his life, chose his bully, James Potter.
Fun fact, at 49:35 mins the wizards who flew into the battle of Hogwarts was Oliver wood (who taught harry quidditch in the first movie)and his quidditch team. It put a huge smile on my face when I found out it was Oliver wood 😁
Can we talk about the fact that the Elder Wand technically belongs to Nagini? I know she's a horcrux and has part of him in her, but still. She killed Snape at the end of the day.
After reading the book I'm honestly team griphook, harry was planning on betraying griphook and not giving him the sword without explaining to him why, Ron was all for this plan, hermione not so much. Griphook knows that wizards often don't follow through on their word so he was suspicious of them from the jump and didnt leave them alone at shell cottage to plan how to betray him. Maybe if harry was more honest with him, not telling him about the horcruxes but just explaining he needed to use the sword to destroy some things and he could have it after they could have come to a deal that included him helping them escape gringotts but he was being to stubborn to treat a creature like griphook like someone worthy of an honest deal. It frustrated me when reading it.
U can combo spells all u want man... But most wizards and witches tend not to fatally harm others i guess... But in Belatrix' case, she had it coming. :p But using a unforgivable curse is wrong, as it is designed to specifically harm or kill someone with one direct flick of the wand.. I mean, i guess u could wingardium leviosa a car and drop it ontop of someone, but its not the intent of that spell.. xD just my two cents.. :p U should also be able to "off"/protect someone if you or your closest are in life threathening danger..
OK guys, here's the answers to your most nagging questions. 1. Yes, there is a very strong reason for Harry being able to return. And it's all thanks to Voldemort's ignorance. When he took Harry's blood at the end of Goblet of Fire, and rebuilt his body with it, he took into his own body a tiny part of the protection that Lily left on Harry when she sacrificed herself. That protection lived in Harry's blood, but Voldemort who only ever thought in terms of power didn't understand that it will only ever work for Harry and nobody else. So Voldemort's body kept that sacrifice alive, meaning that he became the only person in the world who couldn't possibly kill Harry. And Dumbledore knew it ever since Harry told him that Voldemort took his blood. Bot Voldemort is incapable of thinking in any other way, except in terms of power. As Dumbledore put it in the book: "And his knowledge remained woefully incomplete Harry. That which Voldemort does not value, he takes no trouble to comprehend. Of house-elves and children's tales, of love, loyalty and innocence Voldemort knows and understands nothing. Nothing. That they all have a power of their own, a power beyond the reach of any magic, is a truth he has never grasped. (...) If he could only understand the precise and terrible power of that sacrifice he would not have perhaps dared to touch your blood..." 2. Wands have a certain degree of loyalty. If you disarm someone during practice, or as a joke, it doesn't count, the wand's allegiance won't change. It has to be serious. But that isn't true of the Elder wand. The Elder wand is only loyal to power. Voldemort believed that one has to kill the previous owner to possess it, but that's only because the wand's history is bloody, most previous owners were murdered for it. 3. Yes, McGonagall is headmistress now, and as of 2019 Hermione Granger-Weasley is minister of magic. Draco's wife's name was Astoria Greengrass. Unfortunately she died a few years ago (in universe, the character, not the actress who btw was Tom Felton's real life girlfriend). Their son's name is Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy. I'm sure other Potterheads will fill you in with all we can now about what happened to everyone else in the years that followed the Battle of Hogwarts.
Once you have a history of watching screen adaptations of books and stage plays - like Shakespeare & Austen - you (usually) become less precious about each version's faithfulness to the source and casting. You learn to appreciate the various interpretations and performances for what they add to your experience of the narrative. Star Trek and Dune fans are starting to reap great benefit from a variety of attempts to tell stories in the same universe - even multiple versions of the same exact story. (Batman and Spiderman fans have already experienced this.) As a humanities student, I quickly found it easy to appreciate various actors in the same role and multiple versions of the same story.
Each house has ghosts Gryffindor ghost is Sir Nicholas aka Nearly headless Nick, who got petrified in chamber of secrets Hufflepuff ghost is The Fat Friar Ravenclaw ghost is Grey Lady aka Helena Ravenclaw Slytherin ghost is Bloody Baron
Itd be cool to see yall react to the supercarlinbrothers video explaining how harry survived. Its honestly pretty complex and not well explained in the movies but its super interesting and most people dont get it
Voldi thought when he took harry's blood so its not gonna effect his plan But the protection from harry's mom was exclusive for harry So it protected him excluding voldi's part inside him Harry is always saved by mom Including malfoy's mom Tge scence of dumb n harry is like a limbo
Voldemort probably had the snake kill Snape because as he had just explained he thought the Elder wand belonged to Snape. Wands tend to misbehave when someone other than their master tries to use them, especially if they are trying to use them against their master.
Voldemort knew the wand was getting damaged so he didn't want to use the wand to kill snape, especially believing snape was it's master, it might have broken it if that was the case.
Ok....if anyone knows. Was Harry able to come back from albino Kings Cross because Voldemort killed HIMSELF instead of Harry? Almost like it threw itself between Harry and the curse like Lilly did only the Horcrux did it unwillingly. Or was it because he held the ressurection stone before he died? And it gave him the choice to stay or go.
To perform Avada Kedavra, you need to have absolute hatred for the person you are aiming for and you really got to mean it. The fact that Voldemort didn't perform it on Snape means he was killing Snape more because of his necessity.
Phil: Is that Hogwarts Me: UR Trollin right lol ? 8 movies ani't no way he does know what Hogwarts looks like lol XD .I'm with Erika man lol I'm sad to see this series end haha. It was so fun rewatching all the movies and seeing y'allls reaction. For clarity "in the Forest, when Voldemort fired the Killing Curse, it killed both Harry and the piece of soul, except that at that point, they each had one thing tethering them to life: Voldemort had Nagini. Harry had his mother's protection, which worked as long as Voldemort was alive." Thats why Voldemort was knocked on the ground because he just killed the unknown horcrux he made. According to Dumbledore "Voldemort took into his body a tiny part of the enchantment your mother laid upon you when she died for you during the ceremony at the graveyard. His body keeps her sacrifice alive, and while that enchantment survives, so do you and so does Voldemort’s one last hope for himself.’ This goes back to the prophecy of neither can live while the other survives. Hope that helps clear as to why he didn't die. Hopefully Phil all ur doubts are answered and you loved the series lol All u needed was patience ahahah
Riiight - thank you for clearing this up. And as always, thanks for watching with us! P.S. Phil still has questions hahaha but yours and everyone else’s comments have been super helpful 😊
Hello! Erika has seen all the films multiple times. But I’ve only seen bits here and there - and only when they first came out, so there were a lot of gaps for me haha. As you can tell 😅
Full uncut reactions to the entire #HARRYPOTTER series here: www.patreon.com/collection/780548
Hope you do the Fantastic Beasts Trilogy.
Bellatrix's wand had already been reported as stolen, so whoever had it therefore would have been the thief.

Neville was always brave. He just lacked confidence until he got a wand of his own that would work with him.

Oh wow, what a brilliant move lol
Molly Weasley killing Bellatrix is one of the most satisfying moments of the entire series 🔥👍🏼
Agreed! 🤩
Love how harry met death like an old friend. Like the third brother.
Ohh that’s so cool - never thought of that.
In regards to the King's Cross station scene... Remember we do have wizards who die and then become ghosts in this world. What I always understood when Dumbledore said he could "Board a train" and it would take him "On", was that boarding a train would be him dying and moving On to whatever is next. It's never explicitly explained but I always assumed that all Wizards come to a similar place of 'Purgatory' when they die and you can choose to either move "on" or come back as a Ghost.

Thanks for the ride guys 😁
Also, in future videos, have the dude move your microphone because we hear every time you drink 😂
Haha dead. I realized this in the edit. Noted!
Got so bad I just started to fast forward the parts where he was holding the cup. No way they could have realized of course, but the misphonia hit HARD. lmao
Basically, when Voldemort "killed" him, Harry was sent to Limbo, the realm between the living and the afterlife. When Voldy created his new body in Goblet of Fire, he used some of Harry's blood.

Snape was not ready to harm Minerva as they were colleagues. She might have been strong and powerful witch but Snape would likely have overpower her. I do believe Snape respected her a lot.
Minerva casted strong spells on Snape but he deflected Minerva’s attacks on his two death eaters and took them out and took their wand while fleeing.

The whole series was about the choice we make to be "Good or Evil."
Sirius said it best to Harry when Harry was questioning why the dementors effected him so much.
"You're a good person, in which a lot of bad things have happened to..." something to that effect.
That's why I think Harry was given a choice.
Harry was saved by his mother’s protection both as a baby and in this movie. It was the “power of love” that gave him the ultimate protection. He had to be willing to sacrifice himself for it to work. That was the key that Dumbledore was saying in the pen sieve flashback.
"Dispose of your dead with dignity" pisses me off to no end. You dispose of TRASH, not people, and what exactly does No-Nose know about dignity? Bleh.

So inhumane :( Thank you for watching with us!
I've always called him Moldywart, but No-Nose is 💯 times better! 🤣🤣🤣
Elder Wand belonged to Harry, that's why Harry could not be killed by Voldy - since its allegiance is towards Harry
Hence, Voldy's Avada during the final battle killed Voldy himself
The King's Cross Station heaven bit was So beautiful in the book. Dumbledore explain the Harry dead or alive choise pretty good, but I still have a hard time wrapping my head around how Harry could still choose life *.
You could read that particular chapter, for the beauty of Harry's and Dumbledore's friendship. Just keep kleenex nearby.
* I was sorted into Ravenclaw twice, but I already picked Hufflepuff, and this prove I was right. 🤭
There is also the fact that Harry possesed The Deathly Hallows. The Invisibility Cloak was passed down from James through Dumbledore. The Resurrection Stone came from Tom's ring, the Horcrux Dumbledore destroyed. He put it in the Snitch for Harry to find. The Elder Wand which he won from Draco. Making him the Master of Death.
Voldemort was killed by his own Killing Curse rebounding on him 😁. He was using Aveda Kadwvta, Harry was using his signature Expelliaramus.
Dumbledore never owned all 3 deathly hallows at once. He borrowed the invisibility cloak from Harry's father before he died, and anonymously gifted it to him at Christmas. Dumbledore didn't get the ring with the resurrection stone until much later.
I read somewhere online that Goyle didn’t die, he survived but sent to Azkaban prison for using the killing curse
Oh, and as for why Harry got a choice between life and death; it's been ages since I read the books so I'm not sure if this is cannon or my own interpretation, but: Harry had all 3 Deathly Hallows, which makes him the master of death, so he was given the choice. If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone with a better memory for the novels will correct me soon 😂
Dumbledore had the Wand since his duel with Grindelwald in 1945. But he gave Harry back the cloak he borrowed from his father in book one. And he did not obtain the stone from the ring until the summer before book 6.
Harry, on the other hand, may have unknowingly been Master of Death. He owned the Cloak, was master of the Wand, and was in possession of the Stone. But he gave up possession of the Stone when he willingly dropped it in the forest before meeting Voldemort.
In the book slytherin house got to leave like the rest of the underage kids and people who didnt want to remain and fight, some hufflepuff and ravenclaws who were of age stayed and basically all the of age gryffindors. Draco and friends snuck back to the school, so did Colin with the camera from the 2nd movie even though he was underage, Colin died in the battle.
Every duplicate in.the vault is counterfeit , and burns the skin .
Griphooks reason for betraying them was for the sword. In the books the Goblins were the ones who fashioned it for Godrick Griffindor and if memory serves me right he refused to pay them. They developed a grudge against Gryffindor and the goblin king decreed that the one who gets the sword back will be greatly rewarded. Many goblins had tried but none succeeded. Griphook nearly succeeded here
Yes. The Goblins believed that the sword belonged to them upon the death of the owner, Godric Gryffindor.
I don’t think it’s because they weren’t paid but because goblins believe that things made by them belong to them and are simply on lone so they expected the sword to be returned to them once Godoric died but godoric put a spell on the sword to show up and appear to those Gryffindors who were in true need of it and so the sword always remained attached to hogwarts. Griphook wants the sword back because he believes it belongs to goblins but it’s useless to have it because the sword always returns to hogwarts and its students who need it. Godoric was smart I have a feeling the spell makes the sword return to the sorting hat once the need is gone until it’s needed again.
When McGonagall sent the slytherins to the dungeons she was sending them to their dormitory that is where the slytherin house dormitory’s were lol. It just so happens to be the dungeons which is karmic really. 😂
@cayu1888EXO The movies never actually said that Slytherins common room was in the dungeons. The first movie had Dumbledore send everyone back to their common rooms including Slythein and chamber of secrets never showed us it being down there
A stare into your bro's eyes is just as powerful as a hug D: Sometimes its easier not to, because, feelings D:
The conversation between Dumbledore and Snape where snape shows Dumbledore his patronus takes place during the 6th book, although it's never told until the 7th book, and Lily's patronus was also a Doe, that shows how much Snape loves her and always has.
If I remember it correctly Dumbledore actually did give Snape instructions after his death, from his portrait . And no, Snape did Not care about Harry, only for his mother. Harry, looking so like his father, was always a middle finger in Snape's face just by existing. A walking talking reminder that Lily, the love of his life, chose his bully, James Potter.
Yeah, that sounds like a worthy knife to the heart.
Fun fact, at 49:35 mins the wizards who flew into the battle of Hogwarts was Oliver wood (who taught harry quidditch in the first movie)and his quidditch team. It put a huge smile on my face when I found out it was Oliver wood 😁
🥹So awesome
Can we talk about the fact that the Elder Wand technically belongs to Nagini?
I know she's a horcrux and has part of him in her, but still. She killed Snape at the end of the day.
Thats the whole point of the resurrection stone in the golden snitch is so he could come back
After reading the book I'm honestly team griphook, harry was planning on betraying griphook and not giving him the sword without explaining to him why, Ron was all for this plan, hermione not so much. Griphook knows that wizards often don't follow through on their word so he was suspicious of them from the jump and didnt leave them alone at shell cottage to plan how to betray him. Maybe if harry was more honest with him, not telling him about the horcruxes but just explaining he needed to use the sword to destroy some things and he could have it after they could have come to a deal that included him helping them escape gringotts but he was being to stubborn to treat a creature like griphook like someone worthy of an honest deal. It frustrated me when reading it.
Such great context - thank you!
Phil threw questions more than the spells used in the entire movie 😂
The whole movie: 🤔🧐🤨
U can combo spells all u want man... But most wizards and witches tend not to fatally harm others i guess... But in Belatrix' case, she had it coming. :p But using a unforgivable curse is wrong, as it is designed to specifically harm or kill someone with one direct flick of the wand.. I mean, i guess u could wingardium leviosa a car and drop it ontop of someone, but its not the intent of that spell.. xD just my two cents.. :p U should also be able to "off"/protect someone if you or your closest are in life threathening danger..
OK guys, here's the answers to your most nagging questions.
1. Yes, there is a very strong reason for Harry being able to return. And it's all thanks to Voldemort's ignorance.
When he took Harry's blood at the end of Goblet of Fire, and rebuilt his body with it, he took into his own body a tiny part of the protection that Lily left on Harry when she sacrificed herself. That protection lived in Harry's blood, but Voldemort who only ever thought in terms of power didn't understand that it will only ever work for Harry and nobody else. So Voldemort's body kept that sacrifice alive, meaning that he became the only person in the world who couldn't possibly kill Harry.
And Dumbledore knew it ever since Harry told him that Voldemort took his blood.
Bot Voldemort is incapable of thinking in any other way, except in terms of power. As Dumbledore put it in the book:
"And his knowledge remained woefully incomplete Harry. That which Voldemort does not value, he takes no trouble to comprehend. Of house-elves and children's tales, of love, loyalty and innocence Voldemort knows and understands nothing. Nothing. That they all have a power of their own, a power beyond the reach of any magic, is a truth he has never grasped. (...) If he could only understand the precise and terrible power of that sacrifice he would not have perhaps dared to touch your blood..."
2. Wands have a certain degree of loyalty. If you disarm someone during practice, or as a joke, it doesn't count, the wand's allegiance won't change. It has to be serious. But that isn't true of the Elder wand. The Elder wand is only loyal to power. Voldemort believed that one has to kill the previous owner to possess it, but that's only because the wand's history is bloody, most previous owners were murdered for it.
3. Yes, McGonagall is headmistress now, and as of 2019 Hermione Granger-Weasley is minister of magic. Draco's wife's name was Astoria Greengrass. Unfortunately she died a few years ago (in universe, the character, not the actress who btw was Tom Felton's real life girlfriend). Their son's name is Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy. I'm sure other Potterheads will fill you in with all we can now about what happened to everyone else in the years that followed the Battle of Hogwarts.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on these! 🙌🏼 And thank you for watching with us :)
Once you have a history of watching screen adaptations of books and stage plays - like Shakespeare & Austen - you (usually) become less precious about each version's faithfulness to the source and casting.
You learn to appreciate the various interpretations and performances for what they add to your experience of the narrative.
Star Trek and Dune fans are starting to reap great benefit from a variety of attempts to tell stories in the same universe - even multiple versions of the same exact story. (Batman and Spiderman fans have already experienced this.)
As a humanities student, I quickly found it easy to appreciate various actors in the same role and multiple versions of the same story.
I agree!
Oliver is the boy who was on the griffindor quidditch team in the first 2 movies the one that taught harry the rules
Each house has ghosts
Gryffindor ghost is Sir Nicholas aka Nearly headless Nick, who got petrified in chamber of secrets
Hufflepuff ghost is The Fat Friar
Ravenclaw ghost is Grey Lady aka Helena Ravenclaw
Slytherin ghost is Bloody Baron
Thank you for this break down!
And the Bloody Baron was the one that killed Helena Ravenclaw. He carries his shackles out of guilt, shame and remource.
Itd be cool to see yall react to the supercarlinbrothers video explaining how harry survived. Its honestly pretty complex and not well explained in the movies but its super interesting and most people dont get it
Snape you''ll never fail to make me cry
Right?! 😭
intense movie, these guys making it look like funny the way they are reacting
in the book harry fixes his original wand with the elder wand and then puts the wand back in dumbledore's grave with him.
Ah, that’s much better. Haha.
Voldi thought when he took harry's blood so its not gonna effect his plan
But the protection from harry's mom was exclusive for harry
So it protected him excluding
voldi's part inside him
Harry is always saved by mom
Including malfoy's mom
Tge scence of dumb n harry is like a limbo
Voldemort probably had the snake kill Snape because as he had just explained he thought the Elder wand belonged to Snape. Wands tend to misbehave when someone other than their master tries to use them, especially if they are trying to use them against their master.
Wandlore is so interesting.
Voldemort knew the wand was getting damaged so he didn't want to use the wand to kill snape, especially believing snape was it's master, it might have broken it if that was the case.
Ok....if anyone knows. Was Harry able to come back from albino Kings Cross because Voldemort killed HIMSELF instead of Harry? Almost like it threw itself between Harry and the curse like Lilly did only the Horcrux did it unwillingly.
Or was it because he held the ressurection stone before he died? And it gave him the choice to stay or go.
Now you guys have to watch the 20th anniversary special
the fantastic beasts movies will tell you more about Prof Dumbledore and his family...as well as other things.
Ouu 👀
To perform Avada Kedavra, you need to have absolute hatred for the person you are aiming for and you really got to mean it. The fact that Voldemort didn't perform it on Snape means he was killing Snape more because of his necessity.
so snape felt absolute hatred for dumbledore?
Phil: Is that Hogwarts Me: UR Trollin right lol ? 8 movies ani't no way he does know what Hogwarts looks like lol XD .I'm with Erika man lol I'm sad to see this series end haha. It was so fun rewatching all the movies and seeing y'allls reaction. For clarity "in the Forest, when Voldemort fired the Killing Curse, it killed both Harry and the piece of soul, except that at that point, they each had one thing tethering them to life: Voldemort had Nagini. Harry had his mother's protection, which worked as long as Voldemort was alive." Thats why Voldemort was knocked on the ground because he just killed the unknown horcrux he made. According to Dumbledore "Voldemort took into his body a tiny part of the enchantment your mother laid upon you when she died for you during the ceremony at the graveyard. His body keeps her sacrifice alive, and while that enchantment survives, so do you and so does Voldemort’s one last hope for himself.’ This goes back to the prophecy of neither can live while the other survives. Hope that helps clear as to why he didn't die. Hopefully Phil all ur doubts are answered and you loved the series lol All u needed was patience ahahah
Riiight - thank you for clearing this up. And as always, thanks for watching with us! P.S. Phil still has questions hahaha but yours and everyone else’s comments have been super helpful 😊
I mean Ron and harry didn’t hug it was strange but why do ppl always forget Ron is tore up inside his brother died
Great point.
@ ppl always by pass this he don’t know how to feel
Haven't watched their previous vids, is it both of their first time watching this? or has one/both seen it before
Hello! Erika has seen all the films multiple times. But I’ve only seen bits here and there - and only when they first came out, so there were a lot of gaps for me haha. As you can tell 😅
Lol the guys reaction on 1:05:10 and im thinking, that's why the 2nd brother committed suicide
Just think of Harry's King's Cross scene as a near-death experience. It isn't that unique.
58:47
You need to react to Fantastic Beasts! Pleaseeeee 🙏
Soooooooooo when yall watching the reunion? 😂
We actually already saw it but didn’t react to it in front of the camera. Maybe we’ll consider a re-watch in the future 🤷🏻♀️
@erikamanzano338 😭😭 NOOOO
