➡️ Please be forewarned. Richard Harris who played Dumbledore in the first two Harry Potter films passed away very shortly after finishing Chamber of Secrets. The new Dumbledore from now on in the next Harry Potter movies was played by Michael Gambon. Sadly, Michael Gambon also passed away just only a few months ago this past September. May those two wonderful, incredible and talented actors rest in peace. 🖤🕯🧙‍♂️🧙‍♂️🕯🖤

In the first movie Hagrid says "technically I am not allowed to do magic" ... which was because he was FRAMED BY RIDDLE all those years back and his wand was broken, BUT the pieces of his wand are inside his umbrella.

Diagonal Alley is diagonally. Harry ends up in Nokturn Alley ( nocturnally) It is kind of the bad part of town. The people there are shady but not necessarily evil in the way Voldemort is evil.

First off, happy new year 😊😊The reason why many HP fans are nice is because the series, in my opinion, teaches some of the best values to young adults / children.

The Harry Potter universe is like an iceberg. the movies are the peak above water and the books is thr rest of the mountain of the berg.

There's nothing wrong with giving the same rating. I didn't start watching the Harry Potter movies until I started taking a film class. And by then the first three movies were already out. I've really enjoy the whole series. And I have the books, I just haven't read them yet. Happy New Year Ladies and may God continue to bless y'all in 2024!🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉

The reason why Harry doesn't trust adults is because of his upbringing: his aunt and uncle abused him, ruined his confidence, and the teachers at his primary school never cared about the obvious signs of abuse. Even worse, they never sided with him when he did speak up. It's never broached in the films, but the books expand a bit more on it.

I promise they get much better starting from the 3rd on. They get progressively “darker”, more complex and intricate. It’s really worth the ride, please don’t give up on it!

I'm not gonna lie....when I first saw the basilisk in this movie, I had the same reaction Ron had with Aragog. (I'm by NO means fearful of snakes, for transparency). Also, every time I hear Hermione say "She's a little sensitive" to describe Moaning Myrtle, I always have the same first thought: A LITTLE sensitive?" Also, the whole interaction between Jason Issacs (Lucius Malfoy) and a THEN 12-year-old Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) in Professor Dumbledore's office was completely improvised. Lucius: Well....let us hope that Mr. Potter will always be around to save the day. Harry: Don't worry.....I will be. Jason stated that he felt a chill rush down his spine with Daniel's bravado back then.

If I didn't know these two were KZfaqrs, I would think they were actresses. They are both unusually gorgeous.

Oh gosh I’m so excited for you guys to watch the rest!! They just get better & better

Can't wait for the rest of the series. Love you ladies' energies and I'm obsessed with both of your hairstyles. This is my favourite series. ❤

An amazing 2nd chapter in this series. To me there is a definite theme of the power of books and the written word. Books have the power to preserve memories, influence the minds of others, and give illumination. They also have the power to lie. As Gilderoy Lockhart (what a great name and a great character!) says, "Books can be deceiving." Jordan Peterson points out that the final scene is a modern recreation of St. George and the Dragon. The giant snake/dragon (that ancient serpent, the devil) is killed by the hero wielding the Sword of Truth (Eph. 6 and "Sleeping Beauty"!) because the Truth has the power to cut through anything. Thanks for a fun reaction and Happy New Year!

I agree with you. This gets right into it without the introductions and expositions of the first movie. Then there’s Gilderoy Lockhart, who’s both funny and diabolical at the same time. One thing you probably noticed by now, at Hogwarts there are no “safe spaces” that are so ubiquitous at modern colleges. Getting through Hogwarts is a challenge to survival! I enjoyed this movie immensely. Great video! There was a pop song in the 70s called “Spiders and Snakes.” Maybe an inspiration? 🤣🤣. Seeing your reaction to spiders and snakes is priceless! Great video! Looking forward to the next one! Thanks!

The films, the stories, and the characters, will continue to evolve. Hang in there and enjoy the ride that only gets better with each film.

While the movies may lack a lot of content from the books (some more important, and therefore unfortunate not to have in them), they are still very enjoyable.

So excited you're continuing with these! Movie 3 is my favorite (though not the best of them all), so excited to see the next one! Great reaction!

Don't forget there has been nothing in Harry's childhood to make him trust adults!

Once you've watched them all, it's easier to decide on the one you like less than the others, and maybe a favorite one, but to rank the remaining six is to me an impossible chore - each has certain unique strengths over the others. My junior high students got me hooked on the books 20years ago or so and then the first movie shocked with a perfect cast and amazing imagery and each next one (both books and films) built and reinforced itself on the awesomeness of the previous. Rowling did an amazing job, dipping into real life sources of esoterics and "alchemy". I was pleasantly surprised that Nicholas Flammel had been a real alchemist who had claimed to have done the most advanced work on philosopher's stone. The books and films only increase in generosity of impressions when you dig into the lore and cross-reference names of characters, spells, substances, as well as use of magic. I think RC church protests the book not because it has magic in it and exposes kids to it, but because the treatment is so well-grounded (though often camouflaged) in serious esoteric (and occult) works. And because I admire the amounts of work Rowling had done, it's the more difficult for me to make choices of preference. I can just say that Harris over Gambone, Go Neville, Luna rules, and Harry is the most irritating of protagonists I've ever rooted for.

I like your reactions to this and other films. After you're done watching the Harry Potter movies, the novels are much better. There is much more depth to the characters, plus some characters the movies don't have the time to include (like Peeves, you'll not see him in the movies [and don't worry, he's a minor character, so I didn't spoil anything]). If there's anything you see in the movies and go "huh?", the books will probably resolve your confusion.

😎👍 It's easy to keep track of the main character's ages as the films progress. In the first one they were 11, in this one they're 12 and in the next one, they are finally teenagers, and look noticeably more mature than they do in the first two movies. By the fifth entry in the franchise, Ginny is as tall as Hermione, and Neville is nearly as tall as Hagrid. Your essentially watching them all go from the 6th to the 12th grade. The one constant is that each successive movie introduces a new "Defense Against The Dark Arts" teacher who always becomes one of the central characters of the story.

They get better as you watch IMO. Granted, the school layout doesn't match from one movie to another, but they are still well worth watching. The films also get darker and more mature as the kids age into their characters. Malfoy also has more screen time and definitely grows into his role more, so your desire to see him evolve does happen.

I have a fond memory of seeing this one as a kid in the movie theater…My mom got startled while holding a big bag of popcorn during that scene a few minutes in where Harry is grabbed by that disembodied hand in the creepy store…She tossed the bag and popcorn flew everywhere. 😂 Then later on when Ron gets grabbed by the spider she threw the bag again (though it was almost empty at that point). I still enjoy this movie as an adult; little Rupert (the actor who plays Ron) really shines in this one. Fun fact that Daniel Radcliffe improvised the line “Don’t worry, I will be” in response to “let us hope Harry will always be around to save the day.” I still enjoy this movie as an adult; especially since I’m around the same age as the child actors so that nostalgia feels great.

Yes Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy) appears to be a nice guy in real life! This is the last Harry Potter children's film. It now gets much darker!

I think it`s great that you`re giving HP a chance. You won`t regret it because you`ll be rewarded for sticking to it. Thank you and A Happy New Year 2024 with a lot of movies that you`ll enjoy❤

Happy New Year, #ForceOfLightEntertainment. Thanks so much for uploading this awesome movie reaction. I'm still continuously supporting you because your content is absolutely amazing, and also because I really enjoy watching your reactions to different movies.

Great reaction! Looking forward to your insight for the rest of the series. Harry Potter made my childhood better😊 Greetings from México

Natalie had me cracking up the whole video 😂 🕷️

2:41 Best “Single, on Valentines Day Meme” of all time, right there!

Your comments about how Hogwarts is like a school at The Shining cracked me up!! Let's just say dangers only increase from here!!

Nice reaction ladies. This series just keeps getting better and more intense, so buckle up. Wishing you both a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

The thing about the Harry Potter books is that the author, JK Rowling originally wrote the series for adults. It was the book publishers that decided to advertise it as children's books. If you read between the lines of the story you will see it is a satire. First, one has to understand that you the reader are looking at the story through Harry Potter's point of view as he grows up throughout the years at Hogwarts. In the first book and movie Harry is 11 years old so you see his world from his 11 year old mindset and maturity. But as he grows up and begins to understand things more and more the story gets darker and less innocent as he matures with age. The reason I call the books a satire is that many of the stories deals with racism of a different kind and political corruption. Dobby might be a house elf but nevertheless he is a slave just the same. There might not be any racism in the wizarding world against people of color but there is racism against wizards who do not come from pure magical families. And there is massive discrimination against sentient magical species like goblins, centaurs and house elves to name a few out of many. Harry doesn't see the horrible similarities between the wizarding world and the muggle world at this point because he is only 12 years old during The Chamber of Secrets. To a certain extent he is still an innocent little boy and is not mature enough to comprehend it all to the fullest extent. 🏰🧙‍♂️🧙🏻‍♀️🧒🪄⚡️📚📽🎞🖤

Dobby is a free elf!

The pixie riding the skeleton yelling "YEEHAH!!!" was a reference to Doctor Strangelove, as far as I'm aware. also, HANS!!!

All EXAMS cancelled???? noooooooooooooooooo, I would be so keen to learn ALL the magic spells there are.

Every movie is trying get a new dark art teacher. 🎉🍷🇺🇸🍻

The 3rd movie is my favorite of all 8 movies.

I feel that I REALLY need to say something while watching this. I think that the best way to think of these Harry Potter movies is as Cliff note versions of the books. If you want ALL of your Harry Potter related questions answered and if you want to know about A LOT more details that the movies leave out (some of these details are REALLY important to the overall stories), then, PLEASE read the books. Thank you.😊

House elves are actually more powerful than wizards, but they were tricked centuries ago into a treaty that magically bound them to wizarding families so only when that binding is broken and the elf is freed can they use their magic against a wizard.

You can't blame the Womping Willow Tree for getting upset and attacking Harry, Ron and the flying car. If a massive football line backer suddenly rammed right into you and refused to get off, you too would be bashing his head and fighting to get his freaking large body off of yours. That poor tree was just minding his own business and wham! Big massive hunk of metal missiled into it's body from nowhere and just stayed there. If someone did that to me I too would wack the living heck out of whatever hit me. LOL! Plus I also don't blame the Cornish pixies. They were captured against their will and then crammed into a small cage. Of course they are getting revenge. It's not that much different from what happened to Harry when the Dursleys caged him up at the beginning of the movie. LOL! 🌳🚙🧚‍♂️🥊🪄😉😄 It's all kind of sort of the theme of this movie. A caged Hedwig, a caged Harry, a caged Dobby, a caged magical car, caged Cornish Pixies and a caged basilisk. All go absolutely wild when finally set free. 🦉🧑🧝🚙🧚‍♂️🐍🤪✊️😄😁

23:20 😂 If it was, there would have been protests

Both of you ladies are a radiant of sunshine. If I was a youtube reactor I would be reacting to both of you watching movies.

I liked the 1st one more due to the 3 characters be able to do more together. Solid movie. The Hogwarts Legacy game really makes me appreciate the movies more since it goes so deep into the lore and you actually get to duel with wands in it.

You can see how the movies get a bit more sophisticated as they go on. In the first one, the "lesson" is that it's not always easy to tell who's good and who's evil. In the second one, the lesson is that even if someone isn't "evil", they still might not be competent. There are some flaws in the movies as adaptations from the books. One obvious one is that Ron is depicted as kind of dumb, and mostly just as comic relief. But in the books, he's highly knowledgeable about the wizarding world. Of the main trio, Ron is the only one raised in the wizarding culture, and knows all the ins and outs. Hermione is muggle-born, and knew nothing of the wizarding world until she got her letter inviting her to Hogwarts. Harry's parents were wizards, but he was raised by muggles. The director admitted that Hermione is his favorite character, and deliberately took away some of Ron's lines and moments in the book, and gave them to her. OK, you're allowed to have a favorite character, but don't change the characters around just because you like one of them more than another. For example, how would Hermione know what the term "mudblood" means, if she was raised in the muggle world? When would she ever have heard the term before?

That’s him as a teenager

Its "Professor Snape" .... its the 2nd movie come-on 😊 You need the subtitles turned on or you really need to pay attention with HP films.... There is so much info and lore you must absorb. I watched many reactions everyone misses the Professors name or the name of a spell... took me till the 3rd or 4th movie before i had most of it down. Good luck love the reactions and thank you for the video(s) ✌️🙂

#3 will be the one that will hook you in for sure

I definitely prefer part 3 and on! Even more than the first two. This is where they really start heating up for me. Though I did really like the first two originally, they feel more like a kids movie to me than the rest. Not that that is a problem they are more childlike, it's actually kinda expected. I do still like the first two, there's just things that annoy me more nowadays about them than back in the day. Some of the acting and such.

From the next one onwards the series really takes off! 😊 The second movie is imho easily the weakest one and had most of the important and honestly the best scenes from book 2 left out for no good reason. The following movies cut out a lot more (especially Hermione's personal arc and everything with Ginny has been almost completely cut out), but those books are over double the size of book 1 and 2, so it is more understandable with those Personally book 6 is my favourite, but I think I liked 3 and 5 more as movies. Can't wait to see your reactions to the rest of the series ❤

Right. You’ve got the two kiddy ones out of the way. They get darker and darker from here on in!

Thank you for your work and entertaining content in 2023! Can't wait to see more of you in 2024! Greetings from Germany and happy new year to you 🎆🍾🥂

If you haven’t read the books and are watching along for the first time, this is a tiny spoiler for a future book but not the movie. In Book 5, Gilderoy Lockhart (Sir Kenneth Branagh, director of Marvel’s first Thor) is spotted by Harry in a hospital in London. Sadly this scene is not in movie 5 (Order of the Phoenix).

Happy New Year! 😊 Great reaction and review! I enjoyed it!

First video I've seen of you, happy new year and here's to 2024

Happy new year! I can’t wait for prisoner of azkaban!

Hmm, suggestions for future reactions.. A quick search shows you've watched The Godfather, so my suggestion would be that you give "The Freshman" a try. It's a gem of a film that inexplicably no reaction channel that I know of has covered yet.

From this movie forward, please pay attention to the development of Ron & Hermoine's relationship 😊 Happy New Years 🎉🎉❤

Good series of movies! Thanks and have a Fun Happy New Year’s Eve! I’ll probably be asleep by 10 haha

Hi Michelle & Natalie. You're both looking magical and if course, very beautiful. I hope you both had a wonderful Christmas? I would also like to wish the two of you a very happy new year. I hope it brings you all the wonder, joy and happiness you both deserve. Another wonderful chapter in the Harry Potter series. Each giving you a little more world knowledge as well as a few new characters here and there. It's interesting seeing how they grow over time, not only the cast but the story there in. I of course won't speak too much on it, which I'm sure you're glad of, as I don't wish to spoil anything for you, lol! 😂 A fantastic video as always ladies. Have a fantastic day and enjoy your new year celebrations if your doing anything fun. ❤❤

Great react! Ok the light part is over, from the next film things will gradually start to get darker....

Another great reaction! I like the first one more personally but definitely understand why you prefer this one!

This one is not my favorite that would be the third movie and book as well but this one was interesting as well. Glad you both liked this one and they keep getting darker as the movies progress and more grown up as well.

Good use of earlier CGI to tell this twisty tale!

In my opinion every movie just keep the story better and better, my favorite one is the 6th, but in the 3th you'll catch the distinct story a little...less childish...

7.55 Nailed it !

"It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices." Fun Fact: Shirley Henderson is the oldest actress (age thirty-seven) to portray a Hogwarts student. What Script Fact: Tom Felton forgot his line when Draco saw Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) disguised as Goyle (Josh Herdman), so "I didn't know you could read." was improvised. Final Bow Fact: The final Harry Potter film to feature Richard Harris as Hogwarts Headmaster Professor Albus Dumbledore. Harris died of Hodgkin's disease a few weeks before this movie's American release. Slytherin Shenanigans Fact: It was Jason Isaacs' idea for Lucius Malfoy to have long, blond hair, as well as carry a walking stick inside of which he would conceal his wand. He grew attached to the stick and once tried to take it off the set before he was caught. RIP Millie Fact: During production, Emma Watson frequently brought her pet hamster Millie on set. Unfortunately, Millie passed away shortly after shooting began. The set department created a specially-made hamster coffin, complete with velvet lining and the name "Millie" engraved on the top. Watson said: "I don't think a hamster has ever had a better send-off."

JUST WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE. ❤

4:20 Dobby has never heard of "reverse psychology" ... "They hate it? Quick, do it more!" ... which is basically how a lot of the "rebellious teen spirit" works. Sadly not every teen is the same, so telling kids that "smashing stuff is ok" (to try to prevent them from doing it) will also create the same result. tl;dr Parenting is HARD and the only way to "teach children" is CONSEQUENCES ... and maybe explaining why something is bad could work, but the reasoning has to be repeated constantly.

“There’s no Hogwarts without you Hagrid” This line hold an entirely new meaning now. RIP Robbie Coltrane. Happy New Year ladies 🎊

Happy new year force of light ladies and continued successes for 2024.

Happy New Year ladies

You ladies need to see the third Harry Potter movie

Happy New Year!🎉 🎄🪄👍

Natalie, your shade is perfecter than Ron's. Natalie "oh no I don't do spiders" me: "oh boy you're in for a ride then, buckle up".

The Avatar the Last Airbender Tv show fans are the best also. If y'all ever start tv shows 2:15

Fun reaction Ladies. I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. It had a tighter story than the first movie. The third (next) one is many people's favorite in the series, both in the movies and the books. Anyway, you ladies didn't freak out as bad as I was anticipating, at the spiders! Good job! 😂😂👏👏👏 🎉Happy New Year Lovely Ladies🎉 , and will see you next year. 😎👍

Mrs. Norris, Filch's cat, is named after a mean, interfering character from Jane Austen's "Mansfield Park". After all this time I'm just realizing, Filch is an Austen fan?? (Of course, it's author Jo Rowling who is.)

With this movie after the credits there is a scene with Lockhart wearing stripes in an insane asylum, don't know if you watched that or turned off with the credits. Anyway, just thought you might want to know that. Happy New Year you two !

A Unified Magic Theory of Light for Good, Happy New Year Lady's of the Light

damn your mang or editor goof'd here, wow looooool

As a kid I for some reason was scared of this one which I don’t know why, but better than the first one though.

6.30....yup. He ended up a few points off center.

Just a heads up, I really do recommend watching Fantastic Beasts after you finish the Harry Potter series. I see a lot of reaction channels finish the Harry Potter franchise but don’t watch fantastic beasts which makes me sad b/c I think they are really good 👍

Lift off for the series in the next movie. Starts off in a similar cutie kiddie vein but matures significantly by the end.

6:20 ... and the lesson for kids is: *_"LEARN TO SPEAK CLEARLY!"_* [Movie suggestion: *_"My Fair Lady"_* ... which should be applied to "certain communities" who have developed a non-english lingo. In any case: "speaking PROPERLY" is a key to economic success.]

we need movie 3!!!!

Harry actually hit Malfoy with Rictusempra, a spell that makes you giggle uncontrollably.

Perfect timing for a video on New Year’s Eve 🎉 This has been my first full year with FOLE, so thanks for a wonderful year Michelle and Natalie. I’m looking forward to more fun times in 2024 with the both of you 😊 Happy New Year 🎉 🥳 🥂 🍾

31:50 With Harry carelessly dropping his wand ... the first thing I'd do is design a HOLSTER FOR THE WAND, because - honestly - where do these people have their wands when they dont use them?

There are 8 movies. They are all inter connected. Some are more interesting than others for different viewers. Thing is they are required reading overall. Toward the end the dry subjects become relevant in the larger sense. Remember this story line was written for kids. The characters are 10 and they grow 7 to 10 years over the 8 movies. As the story evolves it becomes more intense and "darker". Observe the logo in the opening credits. It gets darker with each movie

"Oh, look, Potter. You got yourself a girlfriend." If only Draco Malfoy knew how right he was.

Great movie ladies! Glad you’re enjoying the Harry Potter series. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🎉

Wow what a magical way to end the year !

Mother father killed in terrible way , only family ill treatment, life threatening at school World not what believe to be , not what call a normal ( wholesome ) life or film Having the support of Friends is the moral of books

Fun fact the girl that played moaning myrtle was like 37 at the time💪🇺🇸🍷

Happy New Years Michelle and Natalie.

14:00 It is Filch's cat ... and her name comes from Jane Austen's novel "Mansfield Park". If you havent read it ... just watch the 1983 miniseries instead, because the book is "kinda long and meh-written" and the series is near-perfect. Dont bother with any of the movies made, because they have to cut too much of the content for it to be any good.

Never try to save my life again - Harry Potter.

The second film is my second favorite of the film series. And it was first DVD in our house.
