"Trans rights are human rights" Well they're not actually because 'trans rights' don't exist only human rights do and they are just called human rights. But instead of using silly buzzwords how are jk rowlings views "transphobic"?
You're a moron. Rowling never said anything transphobic. You don't deserve to enjoy the masterpiece she created.
Pathetic weak coward there was nothing wrong with JK Rowling's comments anybody with the lowest possible IQ who is not a deranged lunatic with see that all she was saying by including trans rights taken away women's rights and everything that they've had to go through throughout the years you are pathetic you're delusional your deranged you're born male newborn female nothing else exists freaks realize that the better off everyone everybody will be before it's too late Sodom and Gomorrah will happen
@@corriethomson4431 so let’s give trans men and women the same human rights as all the other men and women, agreed 🎉
One of the great things about the movies is how well they aged. The special effects look surprisingly amazing to be like 20 years old. Minus some obvious CGI here and there.
Agreed. The quality is up there with the Star Wars prequels for me. I think both aged pretty well considering how much CGI has advanced since
Due to in part great world building and set design/locations chosen to film!
the prequels used an absurd amount of practical effects too to be fair its just poor cgi is more noticable than some great practical effects@@coconutpolygon
And the writing has held up as well. It's as dumb today as it was when the movies came out.
Well said 👍
Those movies have 2 oft the best "effects" ever in any moves I ever watched: 1) The unsettling sound there is when there is a Horcrux nearby. 2) Each movie getting dark and darker until the end its almost Black and White - and then Voldemort is defeated and everything gets some color back. Its really nice
I disagree! The 3rd movie went almost full black, white and gray and the following movies continued with the colourless palette!
"I didnt even realize it was Gary Oldman until years later" is what I say EVERY TIME that man's in a movie. He's so freaking good at becoming someone else.
My friend told me it was Johnny Depp.😅
"None of this would've happened if Voldemort just had a gun" was soooo funny to me for some reason. 🤣
Well he is a wizard, So he would never ever use a gun, EH? :)
I remember thinking the same thing reading the books as a little kid! Lol
Like why doesn't anyone just use guns 🤦♂️
@@zachthompson9976 seriously? Did you not just read what I just said?
I remember seeing a gif of Hermione pointing a revolver at Neville, it always makes me laugh.
Am I the only one who loves Harry's characterization in the sixth film? Throughout the entire movie, you can see him struggling to keep his ego in check because of all the attention he's getting as "the chosen one" (as well as the new star boy of potions class) and how everyone treats him as a hero, especially when it was the other way around last year. Sure, it goes completely against what he's like in the book, but in a way I think it's more realistic for a teenage boy. He never goes overboard, but he has moments of being cocky, flirtatious and smug, and his confidence grows because of it. He manages to semi-manipulate Slughorn when the latter is drunk and emotionally vulnerable BECAUSE he's more secure in himself and his own ability. I just think it adds a very interesting dynamic to his character that wasn't in the book.
I have never thought of it that way and I have watched the movies countless times! You are so right, thank you for the awesome insight 🤩
My beef with the movies is how Ron was treated. His best lines were given to other characters, namely Hermione, and he's relegated to the comic relief sidekick. It makes me so mad!
Fk ur beef
Thats Feminism for you
@@821lancevancenot really feminism, its just someone important in the making of the movie really liked Hermionie alot so gabe her those moments
@dapper4061 it's intersectal feminism. Hermione has to be the smartest and the best because she is a girl. In the books ron was much more street wise to the wizard world. It's pretty odd that Hermione would be street wise in the movies when it makes no sense because she was raised by muggles. But the alter of intersectal feminism demands that woman get raised up but at the EXPENSE OF MEN AROUND THEM
@@821lancevance no. It's because they knew emma watson was gonna be a star so they gave her the most lime light.
Fun fact- the guy who played Lucius forgot his line at the end of the chamber of secrets but knew he had to attempt to cast a spell so he did the first spell he could think of which was the killing curse avada lasagna
Man I hate when I get avocado lasagna'd it's the worst.
Aveedee kedeevee
Lasagna, I’d like him to cast that on me
I always thought that was a bit much
bro fat-fingered the dialogue options and picked [pull the .45 on they ass]
I’m so glad someone else acknowledges how great chamber of secrets is. Probably the most faithful in tone and details to the book out of any of the movies. I understand it’s a little long and it basically is a slightly higher staked retread of the first movie, but damn if I had to choose one of the two to rewatch as a fan- it would always be chamber. The only place the first movie has any advantage is serving as a proper introduction to the world for someone new to the series.
The first one also isn’t boring as fuck like 2 but go off ig
Chamber is awesome. I think people forget how surprisingly scary it is. It's still a kids' movie, but it doesn't let that hold it back. I always have a fun time with Chamber
@Eric Finnigan the first one had some terrible f*cking acting by Daniel Radcliff but go off
@@caleviwin lmfao Daniel Radcliffe himself has said his acting was shit until the 5th movie, can you maybe say something relevant?
Fax, it's always been my favorite of the movies
Ok but I never even realised until now how long the first two films are. They have NEVER felt long or like they’re hard work
Might be why my mom didn't like rewatching them as often as me
those are the two I always skip rewatching 😭 i lose interest or fall asleep
Yeah if only they had kept that mindset Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix & Half Blood Prince are butchered, good films terrible adaptations.
Yeah I see nobody mention the fact that Lucius tries to murder Harry while in the school RIGHT in front of Dumbledore's office. Also cool video, enjoyed it very much :)
That's cus the movies seem to forget about it too
@@I_am_a_cat_ it was improvised apparently. The actor for Lucius just used the only spell-name he could remember from when he read the books lol.
@@rickybindahoose6193 That's about it, yeah. Jason Isaacs didn't know any spells, so he just asked someone at the set and nobody knew, though someone said "I think there's an Avada Kedavra or something" and he just went with it. He did know any spells and the script didn't describe any spells or even any action for him. He improvised with the first spell someone whispered at him.
Apparently it wasn't in the script. The actor just forgot what spell he was supposed to use and knew that one
I don't know how is that the thing that surprises you the most, when everything is taking place in the Magical World.
I always saw the long hair in GOF as an adolescent phase the boys were going through. Not enough gets said about how effectively this series portrays the process of adolescence, from beginning to question authority, to the first awkward stirrings of romantic attraction, to maturing into adulthood and accepting adult responsibility. The story is exciting and the lore is fun, but the journey through adolescence to adulthood is the thematic heart of the whole series.
Good point,where a lot of us grew up with them i hadn't thought much about that.
It's literally just the style of hair that was popular at that point in the 2000's. Even my little brother was rocking the long, floppy hair. It was emo-adjacent but the mainstream version.
The third film is borderline perfect
The third one is a masterpiece
It is great without the shadow of a doubt.
Nahh the whole beginning is cringe as hell
The 8th one is the best one
Agreed.
What a time to be alive 2:00 … I remember reading the first book as a class in the 4th grade. The movie came out that next school year and I was totally enthralled, reading all the books and the anticipation when Rowling was finishing the series with the 5th-7th books 🥰 some of the best childhood memories I have
It’s not just that she loved him. It’s that she had a choice and hence could sacrifice herself and she did. The choice is what’s rare. Usually they kill everybody. But in this case Snape asked Voldemort to spare her and he tried.
In the BOOKS, he literally does NOT care if baby Harry OR James are murdered. Also she never had a choice 😂 What’s she going to do? Say, “Go ahead and kill my husband and newborn baby?”
Her choice WAS to step aside and survive while her child dies, or be killed and then her son dies anyway. So yes, she had a choice, even if both options sucked. @@lynnerose7891
I’ll never forget seeing the 8th movie in Athens, Greece with my mom when I was 15. Halfway through the movie there was an intermission and, being an American, I thought something broke and I yelled “NOOO!!!” in the theatre. My mom just goes “it’s fine, they do that here so you can go to the bathroom and get more popcorn” 😅 so embarassing but made “Χάρι Πότερ” so much more memorable
Well you must have gone to a "normal" cinema, not Village, because they don't have intermissions. A few days ago I watched LotR The Two Towers, nearly four hours without intermission!
Man, these dates are reaffirming my memories. It always felt like November or July. My grandmother would always take me to the movies even though she didn’t know the story. The final movie came out when I’d finished high school. First movie I ever shed a tear to. I think back fondly to reading each book as they came out. What a lovely IP.
Awh that is quite sweet of your Nan to do that with you 💜
This was good. Very well done retrospective. I also appreciate that you didn't dunk on the first two movies like so many do. "The boring ones" and so on. You were able to appreciate our feelings when they actually came out.
I do the same thing in I can't watch HP movie on its own. If I sit down to watch one its from philosopher's stone to Deathly Hallows and when you watch all 7 in a row like that the entire things so rich and layered it just deepens my love for them.
I always wished the Harry Potrer franchise dived into blood line hereditary magic. Tonks had shape shifting. Madam Trelaney had her prophetic eye. Voldemort and his clan could talk to and control snakes, and later voldemort learns to fly without a broom and his daughter learns to fly without a broom like her father, implying the magic was hereditary
Voldemort never had a daughter. Cursed child is not canon. It’s a play based on a rough draft of a new story Rowling was working on but never released. Thank god for that because it’s absolutely horrible.
@@jellyc4164 yeah, i dont like time travelling stories. its just uggghhh
@@jeromealday614 I mean it’s not just bad but it’s full of Canaan breaking plot lines destroy established rules and lore. Plus it’s just absolutely lazy riding on the play writers part. Just cliche after cliche.
I can just imagine that an incredible amount of time and research went into making this. It was really cool to get your perspective... thanks for sharing!
I’m so glad M Night didn’t jump on. Omg what he did to Avatar was the most blasphemous thing I’ve ever…
What are you tlking about? There is no avatar movie
@@honeybadger_sc9816 are you dumb
@@honeybadger_sc9816 lol 😂 I see
It shows you cast according to the source material. Amazon should have taken notes when casting for Rings of Power.
@@ryanhighberg4662They should cancel that abortion and never touch Tolkiens world again.
Yo I just rewatched the first two movies and I'm gonna come back to watch this after every single one we watch. So far, the second movie has scenes that were engraved into my mind for YEARS. I'm 23 now, and I watched these movies when I was like??? 5-10 or something. So I'm surprised about how everything So far is so memorable
I remember so much from these movies, and frequently find myself quoting dialogue from the films in my head.
We live on a timeline where Dumbledore had to be recast after the first two movies... But could you even imagine if Alan Rickman's far too early death had been even more earlier and SNAPE would have had to been recast (or worse; digitally revive *shudder*) for the final movie(s) as well? No, you can't and you're not alone with that. Everyone can agree he was THE Snape. We got really unlucky to lose him over a decade too early, but also extremely lucky he was there on the right time for us.
Yes, definitely! However, imagine the trio saying goodbye earlier.. We were extremely lucky that the cast remained. It is one of the many reasons HP is remarkable - a major one to be exact ! Richard Harris passing is heartbreaking and the casting director did their best to recast Dumbledore. Imo Gambon was excellent where he had to be powerful. Anyway.. Kudos to every single member of the production crew, there's no other like the Harry Potter franchise and I don't believe there's ever be 🤍
Agreed. Rickman's execution of Snape was utter perfection. Everything he said you could tell had a double meaning, but you never quite knew what that double meaning was. His eyes always had a haunted look that when you rewatch the series, makes everything that much more powerful. His pacing was chilling and effective in casting him in this eerie light. Even the costuming of his character was perfect. My favorite line he ever did in terms of acting was "Always." It was just done so well, nobody could ever beat it. Makes me cry every single time.
Legend has it that Tim Roth was a strong contender for Snape before Alan Rickman was settled on. granted I'd never trade what we got from Rickman, but I think Roth still could've done something interesting with the role.
Having watch these movies again, I think this is a great example of the merits of live action. I don't think it would have worked as well as an animated movie. Having real people working in such a fantastical world with down right beautiful cgi and art direction absolutely sells it.
I always wanted an anime series about potter and the gang in Hogwarts, because if someone can breath live into animated characters it would be Japanese Anime maker.
I saw all of them in theaters, I was 8 when the first one came out. Although it’s not my favorite of them now, I remember leaving goblet of fire and being blown away with how different and how good it was. I’d have to say half blood prince is my favorite. I love the liquid luck scene, I think Daniel is absolutely hilarious in it, and when snape hits harry the “I’m the half blood prince” line is so great. Just love everything about it. Merlin’s beard!
I remember my jaw dropped when he said that line
I love the Half Blood Prince as well. Goblet Of Fire is also a special one for me. My favorite is probably Chamber of Secrets since I was most hyped for that one when it first came out. I love the entire series deeply. I can watch any of them and enjoy myself. I love each one for different reasons, and it's a miracle that the adaptation from book to film happened as well as it did. It could have ended up being very lackluster. Instead, each film is just as memorable as the source material they come from. I know there are things that are left out, but that's what the books are for.
@@Shtave3 agreed. Then the chamber of secrets
I love the chamber of secrets, goblet of fire, prisoner of azkaban, and half blood prince a lot...also sorcerer's stone. OMG I think I love all of them. But those are my favourites. People dislike Goblet of Fire but it's so good in my opinion.
Chamber of secrets is Most definitely my favorite to re-watch
This is a super underrated video, you did a great job! I love the depth you went into explaining the timeline of things because while I was invested in the movies as they came out, I was too young to understand anything going on behind the scenes. Just subscribed and can’t wait to watch your other content!
After watching all the Marvel videos and then this one I can’t believe this isn’t a larger channel, the quality is the same, or better, then much bigger channels.
So… I don’t know how it took me so long to discover you. Your Star Wars retrospective just autoplayed for me and I was just… Your video reignited all my positive feelings after all of the muck Star Wars fans have been dragged and dragged each other through the past few years. It reminded me how just last week, I had a similar experience when YT autoplayed a retrospective of the Harry Potter films that reminded me how magical the HP phenomenon had been, back when it really felt that it was about fans’ relationship to the world and the story, not just there to receive dictates from the author as she tells people who’ve grown up loving her work that she doesn’t care what they think or feel, as all the fans have apparently ever been to her is the comfort she gets looking over her recent royalty cheques. I went to comment my thanks, but noticed that comments were turned off for the Star Wars video. Bummed, but then I noticed… Holy Horcrux! It’s the same guy! Subscribed. I hope you see this. I hope you know your positivity touched my heart. I wish Disney hadn’t sown division by simplifying and “strawmanning” fans’ genuine criticism about Disney’s lack of plan for Star Wars. There was sexism and racism and whatever, but there was legitimate and valid criticism that was ignored. JJ Abrams is one of my favorite directors; I used to fantasize about working for him. I believe in him as a person. But I was very disappointed that a) he didn’t prioritize bringing Luke, Leia, and Han together in Force Awakens and b) he didn’t do the mature thing with Rise of Skywalker by building on Last Jedi so smartly that he even thot the fans who didn’t like Last Jedi to change their minds because of how tight the sequel trilogy ended up being. That would’ve been far more impressive than the, “Oh, you mock me, Rian Johnson? Two can play that game!” For the record, I’m not even sure RJ was trolling; there was a path that could’ve made both films as good as or better than Force Awakens. I wish JK Rowling, whatever her beliefs and no matter how betrayed she feels by “vicious fans” or how betrayed fans feel by the author who keeps rewriting and annotating canon instead of genuinely giving her work and her world to the people who grew up loving her and made her one of the richest writers in history. She doesn’t have to agree with or accept anyone to just not laugh in fans’ faces and gloat about how rich she is. Uh oh. I need to rewatch your videos again. I hope fans remember and remind each other that where both Star Wars and the Wizarding World really live is in our hearts and imaginations. No one - not Lucas or Disney or Rowling - owns our imaginations, even if our imaginations are inspired by the worlds they create, even if they lobby for intellectual property restrictions to secure the royalties that help them sleep at night. What I’ll dream about tonight is a world where we stop fighting each other all the time, where the Internet is a place we come to celebrate each other, share joy, and love things together, and love each other. And seriously, that’s you. It must’ve taken a lot of time to work through your scripts and edit all the footage in these two videos. And the courage and optimism it takes to create these videos in the context of the world we’re living in right now. I just want to say thank you. I used a lot of words, but that’s the gist of it. Thank you.
I like that your retrospective doesn't undermine the films that people so often do.
The time period of the first 3 Potter movies coming out has such a strong feeling of nostalgia and good vibes
Imelda Staunton gave, in my opinion, the best and most memorable performance in the entire franchise.
She's very good at pretending to be an insufferable bitch.
It’s probably a tie between her and Dame Maggie Smith, however because Smith was in it more it doesn’t stand out as much.
is this comment section just the bad take Olympics haha
I'd say my favorite performances are: 1. Alan Rickman (literally will go down in history) 2. Gary Oldman (his death scene, need I say more?) 3. Daniel Radcliffe (because of course) 4. Imelda Staunton While Imelda was incredible as Umbridge and truly makes it hard to remember she is not the actual character, I think the emotional weight of the other actors puts them over the edge for myself personally. Daniel Radcliffe's emotional scenes got better and better with time, making it even more believable that he *is* Harry Potter. Gary Oldman was incredible at playing a person who was good at heart yet broken by Azkaban in movie 3, and then regained his sense of self in movie 5. Some of the most heartbreaking scenes center around him, with one of my favorite lines being said by him, "Nice one James!" It just goes to show how much people miss James Potter, and it reminds you of all these people have lost. Finally, of course, Alan Rickman. He was perfect. There is no other way to describe his performance as Snape. Just utterly perfect. The scene in DH Part 2 with Dumbledore... utterly harrowing. "Lily... after all this time?" "Always." That line cemented him as probably my favorite performance by an actor of all time.
It's fun watching this video while the world is experiencing the new Harry Potter game
Thanks for making this. Well edited, good humor, and an overall great retrospective.
BTW. Voldemort didn't say he wanted to make 7 horcruxes. He said he wanted to split his soul into 7 pieces.
Only been a couple of minutes into the video when the nostalgia hit. As someone who was 11 when the first movie came out, having read the books that were out at that time before and basically aging with the characters at the same time, I realized HP was one of the most formative media experiences of my youth. Especiall with growing up as queer and a social outsider, Hogwarts was always a fictional home I could turn to. And I realized how much it hurts having that innocence of the experience taken away by an author that is basically out to destroy their own legacy by shitting on the people that these books and movies probably helped the most and that carried a big part of the fan base. I think a lot of people are just very hurt about this part of their childhood being turned into something they despise or at least cannot enjoy innocently anymore.
You have to learn to separate the art and artist. To let her views destroy your childhood comfort is a choice. You gotta be emotionally strong in a world where nobody is perfect and people disagree. Live your own life, find your own people who love and accept you, and enjoy what brings you happiness. It doesn't all have to be tied together. Best wishes
The first two Harry Potter movies are my favourite movies of the Harry Potter series, the rest of the movies are great as well, but those first two movies are what introduced me to the magical and whimsical world of Harry Potter
Yes dude the flying car was easily the best part of the movie for me as a kid, I would always reenact the scene where they're being chased by the train with my legos, good memories
The "HARRY POTTER" Movie Series jumpstarted my inner youth, to remind me that life is not all about Death and Taxes, but enjoyment of life!
A wonderful retrospective! Thank you. I have a very funny memory regarding Goblet of fire. I was too young to watch the movie, and when I was supposed to be sleeping, I heard my parents watching it... So I snuck out of bed and stood behind the door and watched through the crack :D Took them some time to discover me there. It's kinda sad though, seeing a lot of negative comments who didn't even bother to watch, but seem to think they're qualified to spread hate 🤨
My jaw dropped on goblet of fire. I was expecting Voldemort to return in deathly hallows I didn't read the books so that scene. Hit. So. Hard.
I don't think there is a weak film in the series. Same with the books of course. It's actually a miracle that Harry Potter's film adaptations ended up being as awesome as they are. It could have been ugly to say the least. It's easy to screw up such a complex, unique, and atmospheric stories, but they ended up being excellent in my opinion. I can watch all of them back to back, and have a great time. I know there are parts that are missing from the films, but in my opinion, that's what the books are out there for. The films have everything they need for the narrative to be cohesive, and for the plot to move forward the right way. That's all that matters.
Prisoner of Azkaban and goblet of fire cut out way too much
@@JohnSmith-jh6ey I agree. GOF should have built more on Sirius' relationship with Harry. It also should have included the Quidditch cup. It was a great opportunity for deepening the atmosphere of the franchise. I just finished the books again after having watched all the movies again. I think the original comment is right. I've had to just accept that the movies are sort of a different thing. The books go sooo in depth and there is a lot lost in translation to the screen.
Man, this took me on a nostalgia ride. Thanks.
I still get chills when it zooms in on Harry, Ron and Hermione at the very end of DH2
Chamber of Secrets is my favorite film. Don't make me elaborate. This video is really good though!
Book 3 was INSANE!! It was so incredibly fun to READ. It’s just as fun as the movie. The best part was definitely the time travel, it’s done very well.
Love the video!! So much work put in. I agree with almost every single one of your criticisms and praises, subscribed and liked!
Regarding the Dursleys, people see how horrible they are, but how many realize that for 13 years they were living closely with a horcrux of Voldemort?
In the book, at least, Vernon and Petunia were depicted as just as horrible before they took Harry in.
People will just say anything 😂🤦🏽♀️
@@ciciolhaaqui?? why you saying some smartass shit. she clearly hasn’t read the books only watched the movies so yes she’ll say that but then this dude got her on the extra info to help her understand. then you come in and add nothing useful to the conversation but some bullshit to throw shade
Being avid cat lovers we giggled with joy seeing all those enchanted cat portraits in Umbridge's office. Then it came to us one of the ways the animated images can be produced specifically the headmasters portraits and when each make their debut. We realize this is a morbid thought but keep in mind Umbridge is the villian who hates children so...😱🥺
I will never ever forget how happy I was to experience POA until DH pt 2 back when dvds was still a thing my dad had only bought me the first two movies and nothing else. I pretty much never knew there more sequels and when I did, I didnt know what to do. The movies had finished by the time 2011 rolled around I was merely 3 years old and the dvds were way too old to even still exist by now when I eventually grew up. But eventually my parents bought a tv box when we moved and it was then I was able to watch the other sequels till the very end.
I'm glad that youtube knows I like this sort of long form content. Good recommendation, great video!
Your channel is very impressive! The Mission impossible video brought me here. This video is absolutely massive! Great work
Good video!! I’ve been binge watching all day. Kinda bummed you didn’t mention Draco at all in HBP, or in general, but good video!!
Just stumbled on your channel and subscribed. Currently binge watching. Well Done Sir. 🤘💜🖤
the order of the pheonix is my most favourite one and I love to play it as background noise when doing housework
Idk if you've read the books or not but I really appreciate how you've approached the films without continuously using the books as a reference. If people just let the films stand on their own instead of bitching about what had to be cut they're all really really good.
It's actually a compliment to the movies when the main complaint is "we should have gotten more!!!". Movies easily could have been terribly made.
also- this video is making me emotional I've been holding back tears this whole time and I'm more than half way through
Weird but ok.
Thank you. Never watched or read but I wouldn’t be a proper lizard person without being familiar with such a popular franchise. 😊
I cried so much. Especially when you he title scenes show up. This series is so much of me.
They thought that only the last four films were worthy of a pg-13? The first movie's two-faced Quirrel was freaky to child me! It was always pretty dark when you really thought about it, the magical whimsy and Dumbledore's casual attitude to death n' shit just made you ignore the dark shizz.
Well, he is a Transformer fan, so that explains A Lot!
none of this had happened if Voldemort had a gun. that made me giggle.
Man, you are good! I just finished your MCU phase 1 retro and, damn, just awesome! New sub fo sho and can't wait to watch more of your content. Thank you for your excellent work.
WOW!!!! Eight movies in less than an hour and 30 minutes!!!! You Sir did a great job here!!!.
Great retrospective, thank you my friend.
Straight facts about the scary bits, I remember watching the second movie as a child and the bit with the big spider attacking Lowkey traumatized me
This channel HAS to hit it big time soon. I can’t stop watching. I’m even watching retrospective videos for things I dont really care about because they’re just so enjoyable.
This is amazing! You really reminded me of why I love these films and books and even made me cry a little bit
That was a really good retrospective. Thank you for the effort you put into it.
Just found your channel! I like it! Also here’s my ranking of the movies because why not 1. The Prisoner of Azkaban 3. The Order of the Phoenix 4. The Chamber of Secrets 5. The Deathly Hallows Part 2 6. The Deathly Hallows Part 1 7. The Sorcerer’s Stone 8. The Half Blood Prince 9. The Goblet of Fire
I loved Goblet of Fire. I dont get why people dont like it 😭
@@mothergaia549 I mean I don’t dislike it. I just like it less than the others
Damn dude half blood prince is my favorite of the series lol i love how the movies swap gear into being more serious (about the end of part 4). It's his last year as a student while still serious in tone.
@@brandon17760 yeah I mean honestly these movies shift spots on this list fairly often in my mind. The one thing to note is that I think all of them are good, so the placement on a list ultimately doesn’t matter that much. The only two placements that always stay the same for me is that Prisoner of Azkaban is always my number one, and Goblet of Fire is always at the bottom.
Awesome info great to have you back 🤩👍
We have complete different taste when it comes to which Star Wars and Potter movies we like the most, But doesn't matter! I subbed because these videos are a great watch.. I enjoy hearing a different Opinion on these stories
Hahaha these are brilliant. Nice work mate.
Dude, I love your profile picture. It's also my dad's favorite Autobot, the leader himself, Optimus Prime!
You are so funny, i love your retrospective series, and your narration with random observations or comedic hyperboles, I enjoy those It's nice to get a neutral review that allows to put light into the good within the movies Keep it going! Saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina!
"Neutral" yet starts the video with the most bias thing he can lol
I've been to the house they used for Harry's house in the flashback where he got his scar! It was awesome!
This was beautiful. Thank you.
I remember so vividly as a 6 year old, sitting in the back of a movie theater, watching the first Harry Potter movie. When it got to the part where Harry kills quirel my mom SMACKED me in the face trying to cover my eyes. I think that scared me more than anything on screen 🤣🤣🤣
having watched all mcu and tolkien work from you, im glad you have upgraded your mic on the latest videos. keep going man.
This was such a great video! I wasn't bored for a second!
what a great time to come across this video as i read that harry potter and the cursed child is under works with the original cast 😭😭 i know the reviews of the books aren't that great but still i'll take this as soon as the movie is ready 😌
harry with the liquid luck is like he's high lol i laughed when i watched it despite the sadness of aragog's passing
I just watched the LotR and Hobbit retrospective videos and I love them. Now watching this one I’m so glad to see that you take such great care and pleasure making these videos because it really shines through. Thank you for putting as much care in the later videos as the previous videos. Please continue to do good work!
Please make a Dune retrospective!
lmao, I watched your Marvel videos first so when you said you are working on 4 videos. I was screaming. OMG, I thought those videos came first, What a full circle moment 😝
The amount of effort that went into this- why does it only have 18k views.
With the rat man it clicked when Harry had the map. And I herd a mouse 🐁 noise to further emphasize how the movie is full of details. I had not read the books but got the movie on abc one night. I had watched the previous ones. The first movie will always take me back to when I was in the living room sitting on the floor and seeing it for the first time. It honestly can take me back
This is the only franchise - in my opinion - that consistently gets better with each film.
Third film was best in my opinion. Would love a glimpse into an alternate world where Cuaron directed more HP movies.
You forget LOTR but yes, HP is pure gold. Specially compared to the crap we are fed nowadays in Hollywood
I rewatch this series every year. It’s consistent, an honest adaptation, and so much fun - great story told!
What is a women?
Iol I grew my hair out when Goblet came out. I wanted so badly to be Harry 😂
The scene where the Horcrux ring spins while Dumbledore and Harry are talking reminds of when the voice of Sauron speaks through The One Ring as Gandalf tells Frodo about Sauron.
I remember going to watch the first 2 films at the cinema, I was 6 years old when The Philosopher's Stone came out, pretty much the perfect age for it and it was back when kids movies weren't afraid to be somewhat dark and have adult themes, nowadays even movies made for adults feel like they have to treat you like idiotic babies. I can't believe it's been over 21 years since then already. These movies hold so much nostalgia for me, me and my cousin were absolutely obsessed with Harry Potter (and Power Rangers lol) to the point that we'd re-enact the movies out scene by scene in our bedrooms. The Prisoner of Azkaban has always been my favourite, doesn't get much better than time travel and werewolves. Now I'm watching ultra violent movies where Daniel Radcliffe has guns nailed to his hands, how times change.
But do not forget that the philosopher stone was introduced much earlier on in the movie at Gringotts
Thanks for all your amazing work. I've listened to almost all of your retrospective videos, and I love how you're honest but not overly rude or aggressive with your criticism. Thank you for being level headed and sharing with us your experiences with these movies. All the best to you and your loved ones!
25:44 my birthday is June 5 and I remember going for my bday that year and even thought I already loved HP, that day changed my love for it altogether. Then the fourth movie solidified me as a mega fan.
My birthday is also June 5! I only watched the last two movies in theaters though because I barely finished the series when Deathly Hallows pt.1 was released
I really loved how through the films, the logo keeps evolving and changing reflecting how the story and the characters age and develop.
I think that the 8th movie is great until the slip on the ending. The whole book 7 is adapted so well until they have the battle with Harry and Voldemort
Though we were robbed of a moment that shows the power gap between Tom(Albus) and other wizards, when Riddle duels Mcgonagall,Shacklebolt and Slughorn at the same time,after the snake is killed.
My favorite book was definitely Order of the Phoenix
29:55 this music gives me chills, the warped time turner music. Soooo good.
