I have to admit that both Dumbledore and Snape are two of the most fascinating characters. The fact that they have so many secrets and are always scheming in the background and seem to now more than everyone else, makes them such.

When I read the scene in the book where Dumbledore died, I legit put the book down and started crying. I didn't see it coming and losing Dumbledore was such an emotional hit after so many books that I couldn't help crying. I knew what was coming when the movie came out, but they did the scene very well that it still pulls tears.

25:38 I think because Lucius failed to recover the prophecy last movie Voldemort wanted to punish him for that so he tasked Draco to kill Dumbledore and expected Draco to fail too, so that Voldemort could kill Draco and punish Lucius in doing so at the same time.

“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” - Dumbledore /* 🎥 ⚡ 💓 👓 🍿

"drunk" Harry is the best Harry. One of my favorite scenes out of all the movies is Harry's speech to Slughorn about his mother.

Remember Ron saying in the first movie in front of the Mirror of Erised he wanted to be a famous school team Quidditch player? Also, gaining some free experience with a girl who freely throws herself into his arms without him making any effort can only give him some confidence boost before stepping into more serious business. Hermione can be a little bit intimidating (especially in the movies where she's nearly depicted as abusive and bossy with him, more than in the book). The movie Ginny is... awkward. The book Ginny is more direct and alive. Movie Ginny acts like a ghost, most of the time, it's annoying. A memory can be faked just the same way one can lie, though to avoid being spotted right away by Dumbledore who is a good Legilimens, Slughorn must be good at living in his own lies to believe them. Always a little ashamed of what he did. The worst of it is that at that point Tom already knew everything he needed about Horcruxes (might even had made one already at that point... the Diary at least), asking Slughorn was just a way to guilt trap him into not revealing what he suspected. Slughorn did nothing wrong in fact but he only assumed he did ! You can spot details in other memories that the book shows, the Ring, the other objects Tom has been seeking from the Hogwarts founders to make his Horcruxes with... Corpses in tha water are Inferi (zombies animated to do the wizard's bidding). The Ring was destroyed by Dumbldore but traces of the protective enchantment remain. In the book, Harry is under the cloak and Dumbledore silently petrifies him to prevent him to invervine, the spell lifts as soon as Dumbledore dies but Harry saw everything and couldn't do anything to prevent it. Voldemort, like Harry thinks the school is home. Founders of the school are like reveered heroes so their artifacts (especially the Slytherin ones) are indeed a great choice for Voldemort to put his Horcruxes into. (the Ring was Slytherin's) You need 6 of them, the seventh part of the soul being in your body. Each time you make one, the remaining part is split in two, so they are not equal parts, by doing that you weaken your soul evenmore and each Horcrux becomes not that worthy in the end. The "antidote" to Horcruxes is remorse but while it is possible with great pain with two halves of a soul, splitting it into so many and weakend parts means trying to reintegrate it at that point with remorse would simply be a death sentance. Of course the person must be willing to do it. The other way is to destroy them and they are usually protected by magic far beyond the average countercurse.

Isn't it cool that we *thought* we understood Tom Riddle's diary in book/movie 2, but only now in book/movie 6, we understand the full meaning of the diary? And JKR wrote book 6 a whopping 7 years after book 2. She must have had the whole story in her head from start to finish. There are not many book series which are *that* well thought out from start to finish.

I've noticed that people often miscount. The way it is described, it would be SIX horcruxes plus Voldemort himself. That would be the soul split in SEVEN. The book from Chamber of Secrets is one of the six.

0:11 It is chivalrous to stand when a lady approaches or leaves a table, and to only sit after she has sat

snape's 'avada kedavra' always gave me chills. also i think this is the darkest harry potter movies too

Draco has been trying to "fix" the vanishing cabinet, that's why the apple had a bite out of it and the bird came back dead. When the other bird came out alive, the cabinet was fixed.

0:12 Good manners- respectful etiquette to stand up when a lady (or someone you respect) enters the room.

That spell harry used on malfoy just so happens to be a series of invisible knifes that are used to slowly kill your enemies, which is why in the book it was recommended to be used on a foe only

0:25 he stood up because that's what you do when a lady joins the table!

Luna is by far my favorite character. The actress who,played her is awesome as well.

You like Snape for the same reason we all do. He is a very complex character, and Alan Rickman does him so much justice. The movies didn't do Harry and Ginny's relationship justice though. For the next two movies, I suggest you watch them back to back. I think it's better that way. I really enjoy watching your reactions. You expressed exactly what we did all those years ago, but we had to wait for the next movie, and when that finished, we had to wait for the last one. You don't have to wait.

Luna wearing shoes to bed is wonderful ❤😂

I rlly love the scene when Dumbeldore swing with his wand and create tornado of fire. It show how powerfull wizard he is.

In the book Harry does suggest using Legilimency or Veritaserum to get the real memory from Slughorn, but Dumbledore argues against it saying that Slughorn is an extremely able wizard who will expect both, who is very good at Occlumency and that he(Dumbledore) would be astonished if Slughorn didn't keep with himself an antidote to Veritaserum ever since he coerced him into surrendering the fake memory. Moreover, Dumbledore said that it would be a mistake to try and force the truth out of him, because that could make him leave Hogwarts.

I read all the books but I listened to the audio version of HBP. I was towards the end of it at one of my boys soccer games. I was sitting on the sidelines BALLING at the end. SO many parents were starring at me. 😭

Stef: Why did he get up? Me: Damn, I’m getting old…

Well, You find the game Ginny is playing weird because in the real story, she is not playing any game at all. They just changed their story completely. In the movie, once Ginny starts to feel Harry is looking at her in a different way, she tries to create scenarios where she can get close to him, because Harry doesn´t make any move because of Ron (supposedly). So it just looks like Ginny is always the one going after a very passive Harry. In the books is the complete opposite, even if Ginny had a crush for Harry for years, she tries to forget him and follows her own path. she doesn´t show any romantic interest in Harry as long as she is dating Dean (a storyline the movie drops without giving any ending so the situation is weird and confused). In the books, Harry is the one thinking all the time about her and he is the one making the first step in the relationship, he has a very more active role in the relationship. I undertand the movies can´t adapt everything in the books and that sometimes they have to make changes. But regarding Ginny-Harry relationship, they changed all the characters´s intentions and dynamics. And that without saying they cut storylines where Ginny was involved, didn´t include some relevant scenes and gave some Ginny moments to other characters. I still find people watching the movies and they don´t understand why Ginny is in the scene with the team, when in fact, she was one of the best players.

If you notice Fawkes the pheonix sort of singing a sad song, what I love about it is the fact that in the book, the chapter is named the Pheonix Lament.

24:13 - yes - that get's us all. And Nicholas Hooper knows just the music to make it get us harder.

This is one of the parts that makes people yell at the book, cry and toss it around, not wanting to continue reading but in the end you continue reading. I had a friend to burned the book and said for a week that she didnt want to continue reading it, then she bought a new copy.

That "no" brought me straight back to page 556 of the Half Blood Prince book. That is exactly what I thought back then. Sadly: yes.

The tell Dumbledore accepted his death is that he can apparate at any time. He could’ve dusted them and bounced immediately if he wanted to avoid them all. But he was able to use his imminent death for some good. Such a dope way to go out.

Why Harry stood up: English etiquette dictates a Gentlemen stand when a Lady sits or gets up from the table. It's somewhat now dependent on the formality of the event or upbringing of the gentleman. But without other males at the gathering standing for ladies, it seemed an involuntary reflex, like if one were on a date, it may expose Harry's feelings.

They did Ginny so dirty in the movies, Book Ginny is awesome! Full of life, feisty, popular in a cool way not a bitchy way, kind, quidditch star, and one of the few characters the twins would never play a prank on, not because there her sister but because she’s also an extremely powerful witch, also she defends and is friends with Luna, which makes you a good person in my books

Actually, the ring horcrux WAS destroyed. Before the school year, Dumbledore retrieved it and destroyed it, but the horcrux had a defensive spell -- a kind of booby trap -- that caused a counter-curse. That is what blackened and withered Dumbledore's hand and arm, as we saw in this episode. So, two horcruxes down at this point. Harry, Ron and Hermione will have to find the others.

New subscriber here, I've just binged all of your Harry Potter reactions an d really enjoyed each of them!, I went to each opening weekend with my kids and luv how they actually grew up with these characters. You do a great job!! I luv your videos!!

Omg I love watching your videos. Especially all these movies I've seen, it's sooo nice to see someone else's reaction. I always look forward to the new ones ❤❤ keep up the amazing work Hun

My favorite thing with HP reaction video's is watching the youtuber's thoughts about Snape and his character arc. Can't wait for you to react to the Deathly Hollows.

Stef you are the most sincere and emotionally genuine reactor I’ve seen. You are a breath of fresh air . Never change dear your a treasure 🥰🙏. Big Alohas from Hawai’i 🥳👍🇼🇸

Im sure its been said. But book Ginny was exactly who Harry needed. Someone independent and emotionally strong (probably from all those older brothers)... basically he needed someone who didnt need him, just wanted/loved him. I hope that makes sense. They dont spend enough time (Basically none) building Ginnys character or the chemistry between them. Just out of nowhere shes suddenly always around and Harry has a crush.. yes in the book there was something that made Harry realize he found her attractive.. but i think part of him liked her before. He just nvr let himself think abt those kind of feelings until Cho- A classic first crush without really knowing anything abt her. The second Harry realizes he finds Ginny attractive in the book, it feels instantly like more than a crush. Because he truely does know her, almost like family..🤢... urm, u know what i mean.. but of course thinks shes still out of bounds.

they're not putting the book into the cabinet, it just happens to also be in the Room of Requirement where they're hiding it.

Without giving too much away, but the horcrux of the ring was destroyed, though the ring wasn't. Also, it wasn't the ring that had traces of magic left over...

They really failed Ginny in the adaptation. Her character rocks in the books.

wow the hype intensifies I cant wait for the rest of the videos, love your reactions!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Music in this movie is something else

Just noticed that Harry Potter and The Goblet Of Fire is missing from the Harry Potter playlist

Movie 1: The bad guy dies. Movie 2: The monster dies. Movie 3: Nobody dies. Movie 4: A new character, a good guy, but one we were only just introduced to, dies. Movie 5: An important good guy we've known since movie 3 dies. Movie 6: A very important central good guy we've know since movie 1 dies. Movie 7: What's next?

Harry while on Felix is peak Radcliffe in this series. Incredibly entertaining stuff.

The "Truth Telling" potion is off-limits I believe. I also believe it is very hard to brew so not easily available to most.

In the attack at the Weasley's house they used a hand held camera which makes things look more intense than with a steady cam.

It's weird that having a wand in school is like tool and a weapon.

Your emotional reaction in the last 10 minutes was perfect, exactly as it should be. Try to cram in the last 2 films as soon as you can, before any idiot ruins it for you with a spoiler. Until then, stay off anything HP related on the internet!

Always enjoy watching a reactor go through this series. Your face when Lavender kissed Ron was priceless. 😆 And I don't blame you for not being thrilled about Ginny and Harry. They handled their relationship in the books so much better than in the films. It's so cheesy in the movies while in the books it's like this catharsis that they finally got together.

Guilt & pride are dangerous things to mess with.

It amazes me how getting up when a lady joins or leaves de table is seen as something strange. I do it all the time and people looks at me like a weirdo. Still great reaction, new follower.

I've watched a LOT of harry potter reactions, and I'll tell you what. I've heard a LOT of theories and thoughts about the vanishing cabinet while Drako is messing with it, but "using it as a lunchbox" is a new one and by far the funniest of them all! lmao!

26:25 There was a bigger battle taking place here at that moment with more people involved but they didn't include it in the movie. Maybe they will in the show?

My fav Pottah movie. Last scene was epic.

Draco looking at the vanishing cabinet: STEF- “he’s using it as a lunchbox” 😂😂😂

Kinda crazy Harry literally came that close to killing malfoy like that I read that spell is like stabbing someone all over their body so malfoy was bleeding out lol

The reaction I’ve been waiting to see!

23:50 Nothing to apologize for ;).

Whew that was close luckily nobody important died. Malfoy almost died in that bathroom.

Be prepared for The next 2 movies to just destroy your heart

Hi from Arizona Stef.

I just love reactions. They are so genuine and beautiful, like yourself❤ Much love from Russia

Suggestion- do the watch alongs using a different media player straight onto patreon instead of doing it on youtube so you won’t get copyrighted and won’t have to edit any of it out. So much easier to actually watch along :)

And the funeral In book was...magnificent

"Severus... Please."

Does she have the accent in the other reaction of these movies too? That would be pretty funny.

When’s the next one coming out? Addicted lol

Belleza de reacción y belleza de saga.. 👊🏻💔😭

I don't know how you can read the comment without be spoiled. Be careful please ! 🙏 I'm so exiting to see your two last harry potter movies reaction 🤩

27:55 Losing Dumbledore its not just another loss for Harry its a loss and burden for every teacher, student and magical creature in Hogwarts, Dumbledore had a place in every Wizards and Witches heart in Hogwarts and the Wizarding world itself.

Part of Felix felicis in the book is so important et differente then the movie...you can cut it because it's a movie but not modifiated 😞

The reaction you have to Ginny irks me so much. (And the surprise that Tom/Voldemort planned it from that age confuses me when we had the diary in the second movie, it may not have been known as a horcrux at the time but it clearly shows that he left a part of himself behind at that age)

No reaction to the Globet of fire? I think you missed one. Love your reactions though 😊

"Well that was fun". 💔

2:08 that was Ginny Weasley

Actually the movies name is Harry Potter and Severus Snape 😂😂

Steph.... why did he get up 😂 Manners maketh man 😊 You must have lived with heathens 😮 😂 ❤from North East England ❤️

24:01 I think these creatures are people killed and revived by Voldemort, I'm not quite sure though.

I always hoped harry would date luna instead of ginny, even back before the movies, when reading the books.

2 of 6, the 7th is inside Voldemort

u have such a big heart

11:26, 18:15 I think Voldemort hexed his name so when you say it he knows where you are.

it will be really funny to see you to react final movie =)

I absolutely love Stef, but I also absolutely hate this movie ;D As well-done as this movie was, it runs into exactly the same problem as Movie 4 did, in that it screwed the book/passed up on something truly magnificent by being a terrible adaptation. Unlike Movie 4, this movie did a good job for the most part... but man, can any of you remember what it was like when the movies started coming out and wondering how they would do, or do justice to, your favorite parts of the series OR the best parts of particular books? Book 6 was incredible for it's end-of-the-book action and scariness - it dipped into both rather well. Harry is away and finding a Horcrus with Dumbledore while finding out more about his nemesis and his best friends and schoolmates, meanwhile, are fighting for their LIVES and most of them only live because Harry, thankfully, had the presence of mind to NOT drink all of the luck potion (Felix Fleicitious or whatever) and then force his friends to take it and divvy it up amongst the DA. Pretty amazing stuff happens well before the horror at the top of the tower and then the confrontation on the grounds leading to the exit. I remember being so incredibly disappointed by this movie, as well-done as most of the rest of it was : ( Thank goodness, I've got Stef here to completely distract me this time. What a magnificent woman.

You're so freak'n precious I just can't.

The ring-horcrux is destroyed (Dumbledore hurt his hand in the process), so 2 are gone, only 5 to go ;)

The greatest travesty of translating the books to film is what they did to Ginny Weasley. Shes easily one of my top 3 favorite characters in the book. She was raised closest to the twins, so she has that rebellious streak in her. Shes openly flirty with anyone she wants to be, shameless in her decisions. Shes skilled in combat and sports. Shes so funny too. On screen shes cardboard. And i dont think it had anything to do with the actress. I just dont think they did anything with her in the movies.

Basically.... ITS THE RING!!!! From lord of the rings.... =P yeah thats where JK got the idea of the horcrux.

A gentleman is suppose to rise when a lady enters the room.

One of the best parts of the potter Films for me. Great acting, Good Story and wanted me badly to See the next movie.

dumbledore had to die in order for harry to be a true hero the hero must stand alone when he faces the great evil the teacher mentor father figure must be left behind

Once you've completed the movies, please do yourself a favor and read the books, or even better, check out the audio-books as read by Jim Dale. I realize at this time that you've finished the series, but the books or audio-books will really help you understand things even better that the movies explained them.

Harry and ginny kissed after a quidditch match win

If your haven't watch it yet I would love to see your Reaction to Avatar The Last Airbender series

One of my favorite scenes, is Hermione and Harry alone on the steps and her casting "Repugno"" on Ron. Brilliant. Also, Snape's "murder" of Dumbeldore, if only because of the opening scene in the final movie, which is my absolute fave.

Stef

7:29 Ye- No. Have you seen Voldemort's skin? He clearly has a severe Vitamin C and D deficiency. I think he only eats small rodents. Raw.

I wasn't a big fan of how this movie handled Harry and Ginny's love story. The book does a better job of conveying the slow burn that he feels at the beginning of the school year that makes way more sense than out of no where "he just like her" plot here. I think the director took for granted how many people read the books.

👍

❤😊
