Doctor Reacts To Harry Potter Injuries
COME SEE ME ON TOUR:
Harry Potter is one of the biggest book and film franchises of all time, and over the course of such a long story, you better believe I found some medical scenes to react to. We look at scenes from The Sorcerer’s Stone (The Philosopher’s Stone for my UK friends), The Chamber of Secrets, The Prisoner of Azkaban, The Goblet of Fire, The Order Of The Phoenix, The Half Blood Prince, and The Deathly Hallows. Between Harry, Ron, Hermione, Hagrid, Snape, Dumbledore, Dobby, Belatrix, Malfoy, Neville, and Voldemort himself, there was plenty of medical criticism to go around. Specifically we talk about Harry’s scar, Z-plasty, salmonella, broken wrists, concussions, trauma, quidditch accidents, broom falls, Phoenix tears, gillyweed, holding your breath, the bends, bleeding out, vaping, drawing blood, chest compressions, and even splinching! Are there any scenes you think I missed from JK Rowling’s epic?Harry Potter is one of the biggest book and film franchises of all time, and over the course of such a long story, you better believe I found some medical scenes to react to.

“That’s obviously a terrible medical condition” Yes, that condition would be death. I hear it’s pretty fatal
😂
😂
Only known person to have survived it was Harry Potter, and he cheated.
The curse of the fatal death.
That does seem quite fatal
You mean this whole time, they could've gotten rid of Voldemort by sending him to Antartica?? ARE YOU KIDDING ME-?
Underrated comment🤣
Couldn’t he just apparate out or just use portkey.
Pretty sure, that’d f**k up his snake too
No cause he’s still got the horcruxes so his soul would survive while his body died. He would be less than the meanest ghost but he’d be alive.
@@Cllocopine He'd be alive-ish
I love that Doctor Mike is concerned about the basilisk bite causing a salmonella infection, because while that's definitely a possibility, the info given about it indicates you probably wouldn't live long enough for that to be a problem
Lol that what I said
Did no-one tell him basilisk's are venomous snakes?
@@sarahglover3286 to be fair, Plumed basilisks are not venomous.

"Is that Voldermort? ... Where's his nose" ~Doctor Mike 2022
😂😂😂😂Fr😂😂😂
Just watch "Botched".
The part with Dumbledore cutting his hand makes sense. His hand is already showing symptoms of the curse from Marvolo's ring that looks like gangrene. The nerve endings in it are already dead.
That's actually a great point.
Yeah but Dr Mike doesn't know that 🤣
That hand has been like that since before the school year started. Honestly, it should have probably been cut off long before. If they can grow back bones, shouldn't they be able to regrow amputated limbs... I just remembered Mad-Eye's wooden leg.
@@Rainears129 it was a horcrux poison, the darkest of anything in the wizarding world, it cannot be healed fully, and mad eyes whole leg got cut off by a major curse, that's why there was no way to regrow it, just like our science can't heal everything the magic can't heal everything
He's a muggle, he don't know
This is just pure gold. Never in my life had I imagined there would be a day where a real life doctor would react to injuries from a fantasy movie about magic
And clearly hasn't seen the movies. Maybe it's just my mood today.
MAGIC
@@kamoogy it seems like he maybe saw at least some of the movies once when he was younger but doesnt remember much, which is fair if he wasnt much of a fan.
Dr. Mike, please don't forget that Harry Potter movie characters are NOT humans in the first place. Especially Valdemort. PS: No 911 hotline in Harry Potter's magical world.
he did say he saw them when he was younger. He is just treating the injuries as if they were actually real. Everyone here taking this way too serious 😅
I was reading Goblet of Fire recently and Wormtail did nothing to stop his bleedinh once he cut his hand off except wrap the stump in his robes. He was just sitting there for like 10 minutes at least while Voldemort was reborn and preaching to his death eaters. I was like bruh put a turniquet and some pressure on that!
... Blood clotting incantation? Idk. :P
@@mushroomsrcool1449when Voldemort finally finished his speech to the Death Eaters, he turned to face Wormtail (who was literally dying on the ground the whole time) and gave him a magic silver hand to replace his original one. Wormtail started praising Voldemort and kissing his feet and I’m like “ARE YOU AWARE THAT THIS MAN WHOS FEET YOU ARE CURRANTLY SOAKING WITH SALIVA TOOK HIS SWEET TIME BEING LIKE ‘YO NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN, MACNAIR! HOW U BEEN? ANY RECENT KILLINGS? TELL ME WHOS DEAD AND WHOS ABSENT, WILL U?’ WHILE U WHERE BLEEDING OUT IN FRONT OF HIM!?!?!?
WILLINGLY SCRIFICED is the key phrase, tho.
In terms of the candies, they have another half that gets rid of the symptoms. In the books they were purple and orange candies, the orange making you sick and the purple aiding you.
Harry: I survived the killing curse and got this scar from it Mike: No, you just had a bad plastic surgeon
🤣🤧
they should try to remove extra collagen from the dermis, and than make the gap grow back fast, in theory that would remove the scar
Lol
😂
Hahah so funny
I never thought somebody would call Voldemort an “elderly gentlemen” 😅
I mean, he's not wrong; the guy's pretty elderly.
Voldemort is basically a nazi.
@@lordshardikain't no gentleman tho
Dude is in his seventies and call a debilitating injury to himself Cutting up pieces of your souls probably not healthy for you
@@lordshardik ain't a gentleman tho
I love the line “is this Voldemort, where’s his nose?”😂😂😂
I think the reason Neville's injury in The Sorcerer's Stone wasn't worse is because, in canon, when he was a baby, he was dropped from a balcony to see if he had magic. He did, thankfully, but I'm guessing that's why he didn't get more hurt.
Voldemort: I will live forever! Doctor Mike: Not if you lived in Antartica
this part killed me
Lol yes!! I love Dr. Mike. He's funny yet factual.
Frr lol
😂😂😂
So true
The way Mike totally misses the point of so many things is priceless, but educational 🤣
High intelligence Low wisdom
Hahaha true 💜
Yeah. Like just sitting here, remembering the healing properties of Phoenix tears and Essence of Dittany from the book lore. I mean, I won’t hold it against him if he doesn’t know the book lore, he is looking at it through the muggle perspective
he clearly has not seen any of the Harry Potter movies to make a correct medical conclusion.
True. He *is a muggle.
I love how dr Mike just starts by insulting Voldemort
The reactions from him are priceless, especially when he said the basilisk is a dragon lol. Also the walking cane one ha
“Did harry just take away that old mans walking stick “ class absolutely class
I laughed so hard at that bit
Elderly gentleman * I'm laughing so hard....jeez
OK this one had me CRYING WITH LAUGHTER
Hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahah
Hahaha
Just watching 15 seconds of the video I can say that he is a muggle 😂 But creativity I have to say I have never thaught about Harry Potter injuries in a medical perspective 👍
Indeed. Like a flying car and motorcycle are possible but yeah suddenly removing bones..yeah no..
Ha Ha what House is he in? This is so FANTASTIC BEASTS right now!
I'm a potter nerd and a medical coder, so I often read the books and watch the movies through that lens (although I'm certainly not a doctor!). I did laugh a lot through this reaction, because Dr.Mike seems to be viewing this just as a doctor. Funny video! 💛🖤
Totally off topic but also an army here 👆💜
Loool
Rest in peace Sir Michael Gambon, actor of Dumboldore, as he has died.
1:09 Madam Pomfrey: I’m here you know Dr Mike 2:03 like a concerned teacher 2:08 Mr Malfoy: it’s just a scrape Draco walk it off 6:38 🥲his reaction is just lovely
Dr Mike: "Why isn't anyone calling 911?" Arthur Weasley, muggle studies expert and middle-aged man: "What is the function of a rubber duck?"
And What makes airplanes stay up?
Wouldn't they also have to call 999? As far as I remember that's the emergency number in England.
Hahaha ! I love that line
He's only a quarter of the way through his life maybe by the time he reaches 200 he will finally find out the function of a rubber duck lol
@@malle5955 I think you're right, but, if someone's all the way out at Hogwarts, a muggle officer would take the call as a prank call because Hogwarts exists in it's own little magical bubble, protected from prying eyes of muggles. I remember reading it has a charm all the way around castle grounds to avoid aerial muggle spotting.
I love how the cameraperson was just like "It's a basilisk, I shouldn't have to explain this to you!" and Doctor Mike's like "a basilisk...dragon? :D"
There is an actual basilisk lizard. They can run on water
To be fair, many of the older représentations of dragons were either snakes or lizards.
@@thomasfplm and dinosaurs
Cameraman* but whatever
Technically Dr. Mike is half right lmaooo :3 when you see the anatomy of basilisk it’s more likely to be a lizard (legless) than a snake. And yes, we have a lizard that’s called Komodo dragon so lizard = small dragons?? Idk man k bai lol
I love Mike’s reaction to basically everyone cutting off their hand to get blood 😂
This episode was the CUTEST! Thank you so much for your lightheartedness. ❤
Voldemort: A creature so bad that people don't even say his name. Has murdered a number of people in the past. Dr. Mike: "Did Harry Potter just take away an elderly man's walking cane?" "He's like a snake fish, a cat fish. NO, an eel fish! *calmly discussing his health issues and how he wouldn't survive in Antarctica*

i haven’t watched the video yet, but just by the title i already lover it. i love when some of my favorite content creators makes a video featuring harry potter
Mike was so chill when Snape got cut through the throat he was like "there's no saving that person" he was so blunt and honest about it
Honestly I would rather have blunt honesty when it comes to medical issues instead of sugar coating it or beating around the bush
Mike: There's no saving that person. Also Mike: Do chest compressions Harry!
And just for good measure, Voldy has his giant magical snake tear open Snape's throat further. Oh, and the snake has this weird venom that makes it basically impossible to close the wound as it's perfectly capable of melting muggle stitches. Just lovely, isn't it? *Cough*.
“You need to call 911 Harry” and “Voldemort with no nose would not do well living in Antarctica” both had me lol 😂
Same lol!!! 😂
Who would've thought that was a way to thwart him. A rebel base in Antarctica.
Did Harry Potter just make away this elderly mans walking stick 😂
LMAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@tomasflatharta XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
honestly incredible. some of your best work so far
I love how Mike was so so pro und of himself for remembering their names❤❤❤
I love how the first thing he says about Voldemort is "where's his nose?" there are like thousands of memes about how Voldemort doesn't have a nose. And also he is just in complete disregard of Voldemort. He's just like "not if you go to Antarctica." It's just so funny. Voldemort is being roasted. :)
Unlike his air
Voldermort: Only I can live forever.. Doctor Mike: Introduces Antarctica. Antarctica: Imma end this man's whole career.
Nah, he's being left out in the cold. Being roasted is what Voldie would want in Antarctica.

@niddg viiut I would love to see his reaction to when Draco was KILLED by Buckbeak or when Luna fixes Harry’s nose because how different is a nose from a toe, really? Mike would be furious babbling about all the differences between toes and noses
@@Cllocopine It's killed meh! It's killed *MEH* !!
@Doctor Mike; It was mentioned "vaguely" in "Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them" film that witches/wizards have a higher tolerance for injures and most forms of maladies than muggles do.
Dr. Mike's reaction to Voldemort is priceless 🤣🤣🤣
You know, I'm surprised that he didn't comment on the fact the medical issues that couse arise from a 1 year old being left on a doorstep at the end of October. Practically died with laughter when he said "Did Harry Potter just take away that elderly gentleman's walking stick"
My thoughts exactly ! It also would have been great to hear about lycanthropy from a medical point of view because I think I’ve read something about it once, like people getting sick or something 🤔 Yet, there are so many moments in HP that could be interesting to hear about and so little time. Maybe a part 2 about Sirius’ death, Dumbledore’s death (and how old he was, the effects of such an old age on the body etc), Tonks possibility to change her face/hair, Moody’s eye, Sectumsempra/Endoloris, etc. Gosh, I wish I went to med school instead of Law school 😅
Especially in the UK where it can freeze over night.
We don’t know the exact time Harry was left on the doorstep though. It could be 4-5AM, and I imagine aunt Petunia woke up pretty early in the morning. Beside, they might have put some heat generating spell on him since Hagrid was able to carry him flying on motorcycle in the cold air.
YES!
@@dcle944 Yes that makes sense and they could have put a lot more protective spells on him. You can practically do anything with magic, even keep a baby safe and warm on a doorstep

His first question to Voldemort... 😂
*proceeds to start explaining why it'd be detrimental to Voldemort's health* I was laughing so hard D
me 2🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fun Fact about Neville: in the books it is explained that his family thought he was not going to have magic and so they were trying all kinds of messed up stuff to trigger his magic. So one day his uncle dangled him out of the window and kinda FORGOT and so Neville fell, but magic children kinda have this thing were their magic shows intuitively, so instead of going SPLAT Neville bounced a while like a basketball and his family was so glad that his magic finally showed.
lol yes I remember that!
I saw in a video about Neville that apparently his blanket shifted (from his magic ig) when he was just born, but no one noticed except that book that records people doing magic.
I don’t get how he broke his wrist from falling then
@@kylem9830 I thought about it for a bit and it's probably so that the teacher would have to leave with Neville, so that Harry would start chasing Draco and stuff
@@kylem9830 I think when younger wizards are like 3 and 4 like toddlers their magic manifests in ways that are different than when they can control it better. Look at us debating magic😂😂
That was incredibly interesting. Could you look at the mental health implications of the Prisioner of Azkaban? I feel there is a lot to say there
There is so much more in Harry Potter & injuries. Please react to more harry potter injuries. I loved this. Too funny! :)

Fun fact. The basilisk isn't actually a snake, it's a legless lizard (genuinely a thing) - some differences are: ear holes, fused jaw, pearled scales & visible eyelids.
Also, a Basilisk is usually bred by using chicken’s egg under the toad until it is hatched. It was illegal in medieval times, but those who were doing this came under serious crime.
I’m glad you said it because I was about to let loose on Dr. Mike at that point…
He also missed that it had fangs and had injected him with venom
I googled this and it said that Basilisks are reptiles and are reputed to be a Serpent king. So this comment seems to be false, do you have a source?
In regards to being able to survive a lot of these physical injuries, there is actually a canon reason for it. In the Fantastic Beasts movie, Newt Scamander mentions how wizard and muggle anatomies are subtly different. In that scene, he gives muggle Jacob Kowalski a helmet and set of armour for his protection, but doesn’t have any for himself. This suggests that wizards can survive more severe physical injuries than muggles can, though I doubt they can just brush off all physical injuries. They fall from too high a height without anything to catch them or slow them down, they’re still gonna die the second they hit the ground. EDIT: There are actually a few injuries that you didn’t cover. In Philosopher’s Stone, Ron gets knocked off a giant knight chess piece as a sacrifice so Harry and Hermione can win and proceed forward. It’s not that far a fall, but he’s still out cold when he hits the ground. The book is even worse, since the white Queen, a sentient statue, hits him straight in the head with her arm. In Philosopher’s Stone, when Harry touches Quirrell, Quirrell gets severe burns on his body. In Prisoner of Azkaban, Malfoy’s arm gets slashed by Buckbeak the Hippogriff, an injury that he keeps going for months on end. In Prisoner, Harry falls off his broom during a Quidditch match. Dumbledore is able to save him, but it’s a close call. In Goblet, at least in the book, Harry is dropped by a giant spider onto a leg that he injured trying to kick at the spider. In Half-blood Prince, Harry is cut on a rock just past the point where you showed Dumbledore cutting his wrists. This is actually beneficial, as he needs blood to reopen the door that closed behind him. In the book version of Deathly Hallows, Harry loses control of the flying motorcycle and crashes into a muddy pond. This one actually does bang him up a bit, as his ribs and arm were damaged in the crash. If I missed any, please let me know. I’m going off of memory.
Dr Mike questioned the most legitimate question everyone should ask voldemort, where's his nose ??😂😂

I was literally about to say this 💀
Same!
3:46 A Basilisk is not a snake, it is a weird "hybrid" of sorts. Not actually a hybrid, but that is the closest I can describe it as. It was a chicken egg hatched under a toad.
Doctor Mike, it says in the books that Voldemort has nostrils like a snake instead of a nose. And, yes, Fred and George Weasley gave sickness-inducing candies to kids at school to help them get out of class or detention. Hey, they were heroes for it when Umbridge came along!
this is comedy gold.and i love how he said the voldemort was a eel 💀

In all fairness to the first broom scene: The person doing the diagnosing was not a nurse. However, the boy was brought to the school nurse immediately after, so if there were more injuries, the nurse would probably catch them.
And Mrs. Pomfrey could magick away his clothes.
Very true, but would Madam Hooch have been able to identify a spinal injury? If there had been a spinal injury, which would've been likely with a fall from that height, it would've been better not to move him at all (unless of course they used magic to make sure he was kept completely still during transport). They really should have Madam Pomfrey stationed nearby during first years' flying lessons just in case. Neville was really lucky that it was just a broken wrist.
@@meridellwriter Also wizard are tougher than muggles.
@@meridellwriter Magical medicine is largely medieval.
@@Firemalleoandjelly Is that actually confirmed, or is it fanon?
To be fair it is confirmed in the Fantastic Beasts series that wizard's have more resistance to injuries so lots of these would severely injure muggles but as they're then healed magically that isn't an issue!
Please do Hunger Games injuries!!! It’s one of my favorite movies and a classic!
Given how advanced the medicine is for wizards vs muggles, it's likely that some of the injuries Dr Mike considers serious or even life threatening would be considered no worse than a paper cut to people who can do magic. Also, fun fact: Canonically, the "Skele-gro" Harry takes to restore the bones in his arm was invented by Linfred Potter, one of Harry's ancestors. (They actually have a family history in advanced alchemy. Their family fortune was originally established by Linfred and dramatically increased by Harry's grandfather, Fleamont, who invented an extremely popular hair management tonic.)
@Freja Lindberg isn't HP in like the 1900s? Muggle medicine is good, but it's not *wave a stick and bones mend* . It always bothered me how the Wizarding world just hid from the muggers for 0 good reason. Imaging chemistry and potions, mri diagnosis and magic healing, memory reliving for psychological purposes. The two worlds could have bettered each other immensely of they cooperated.
@@fcasias7 HP takes place between 1991 and '97, so yes.
@@fcasias7 Yes, they would have bettered each other immensely if they cooperated, but that's a big if. The wizards could also completely destroy all Muggles if someone like Voldemort came into power, since wizards have the ability to just wave a stick at someone and that person drops dead. I believe canonically the story perpetuated by the magical community is that the Muggles began to distrust all the people who could wave sticks around and do either wonderful or terrible things at the drop of a hat, and while it was rare for witch-hunts to result in the deaths of actual witches and wizards (who could just magic themselves out of danger), the magical community decided it would be best for everyone if they secluded themselves from the Muggle world. This would lessen the odds both of the Muggles managing to successfully kill witches and wizards (especially children who have not yet learned to control their magic and thus would be more susceptible to being killed), but also reduce the needless suffering and deaths of Muggles (either at one another's hands, at the hands of said children who cannot control their magic and might accidentally kill someone in self-defense, or at the hands of a witch or wizard whose young child was killed by Muggles).
@@meridellwriter In all fairness, muggles can wave a metal stick and make wizards drop dead: Guns. They need less training, too, I’d think. I suspect a wizard-muggle war would not end in the wizard’s favor, at least in the modern era.
Okay the big potter head I am I never knew this..
I love how mike is just casually pointing out voldy’s medical problems
haha same here
Yeh lol 😂
The part where he asked “where’s his nose” killed me like HE UNDERSTANDS
The video I didn’t know I needed
"is he a fish" DO NOT DRINK. i repeat DO NOT DRINK WHILE WATCHING THIS VIDEO. i almost died 😭😂😂😂😂😂
8:15 I love how the editor actually made him lean over to see what happened to Ron's arm 🤭
Hey, I didn't notice, thank you, it is really cool!
🤣🤣🤣☠️
That's awesome!🤣🤣
What happened? Ron’s arm got splinched while the trio disapporated from the ministry of magic!!
@@brezzainvernale me neither! cool
Before watching: This is going to ruin my entire Harry Potter experience, isn't it? After watching: It didn't ruin my experience. It made it ten times funnier!
yesss
Don't get me started on their continued use of a house that encourages racism and encourages kids to join terrorist orgs.
This is nice knowing before i have watch the video Edit: and after watching it i can say thats true
I was almost going to exit the video but I'm glad I didn't
Same!
the fact I clicked on this video so fast but I'm also laughing so hard bc he's taking it so seriously 7:05 I'M CRYING HE'S LIKE "where's his nose" 😭
6:23 decompression sickness is due to the pressurized air in diving tanks, whereas Harry breathes through gills and therefore there is no risk
I feel so validated for every time I have gotten angry at a fictional character for slicing into their hand for a few drops of blood. Thanks Dr. Mike.
Oh god yes I get so angry every time I watch Supernatural, every single episode
God, yes, even if Dumby can heal it, that one actually does get me angry. Even the back of your hand would be better then the Palm!!!!
Same!!! That was definitely the best part of the video to me!
5:25 Fun fact - in the books Harry was supposed to ask Neville how to survive underwater but he never did, and it ended up being Dobby who brought the gillyweed to Harry in the last moment. At the end of the book Barty Crouch Jr was complaining about how Harry was too arrogant to ask for help from his classmates and that he had given Longbottom a book that would tell him everything about how to breathe underwater. But in the movies, we actually get to see Harry asking Neville for help, which was how Crouch had planned it in the books.
yes I noticed that as well. At least harry actually gets gillyweed in both the book and the movie
it was a smart way to cut time in the movie
@@reneflores5976 Oh yes so we can see the one hour dragon fight. Because that's not an hour wasted...
@@DaDunge I just said it was a smart way to cut time, it's not my problem how they managed that time
@@reneflores5976 it was also because house elf’s were expensive & hard to animate in the movies, that’s why Dobby doesn’t appear in any of the post-COS movies before Deathly Hallows.
To be fair it is confirmed in the Fantastic Beasts series that wizard's have more resistance to injuries with a stronger physiology so lots of these would severely injure muggles but as they're then healed magically that isn't an issue!
0:44 I the huge potter head…LOVE THIS VID!
No he’s not cheating. Part of the contest was to use magic to find a way to breathe underwater for an hour. Whatever magical method to perform this was considered acceptable. Neville came up with the idea to use gillyweed, a magical plant that would allow him to remain underwater for an hour, so it was just part of the contest.
In the books it was Dobby that gave him the gillyweed which he had taken from snapes potion supplies
@@Neytiri723 I remember that but he’s making comments based on scenes from the movie.
technically, it was Barty Crouch Jr who arranged for it in both movie and book. in both cases he managed to indirectly arrange for gillyweed to be given to Harry.
@@LightMindedJedi technically it was- *dies*
Just saying, in the book it was Dobby who gave Harry the Gillyweed.
Pausing the video at 9:50 to try and read as much of the Daily Prophet as possible has me in tears from the giggles. Thank you to the editor for making my night! And thank you to Dr. Mike for always entertaining while informing, too!
lol oh my gosh yes it's hilarious
Ikr, very hilarious 😂
@pottah life it reads: " The Daily Prophet. Bringing you the best in Copyright sage magic news since 2022 - Two Galleons per issue, or is that a lot? I don't know. Voldemort is an eel! Turns out that not having a nose and beeing all grey wasn't just because he was super evil. The magical world was rocked today after discovering that Voldemort is not actually the alter ego of Tom Riddle, but is actually a slithery sea creature. When approached for comment, Voldemort said nothing, probably because he's an eel. Seriously though, what where we all scared of? It really seemed like he was genuinely dangerous, but turns out that's just not true. Now the magical world is turning to other important figures to ask them, is McGonnagall actually a cat pretending to be a human? Is Filch a raccon? Muggle doctor makes strange claims about basilisks In a release on a Muggle news platform, You Tube, the Muggle Doctor known as "Doctor Mike" claimed that basilisks were dragons, and that they carried a muggle pathogen known as salmonella. When approched for comment, the head of the basilisk appreciation league said "These are misunderstood creatures, they already have the stigma of killing anyone who looks at them, and now this!?" He who must not be named outed ad a sea creature Death Eaters have asked if they should refrain from eating fish. Turn to page 7 to see what other magical figures are suspected to be cockney fast food. Stop cutting your palms for blood! Turns out that sticking a knife in your palm when you need blood for a spell isn't as good an idea. Who knew?"
@@liljeknott6748 Thank you alot :D Respect that you could read that all.
@@liljeknott6748 Thank you for your dedication
Doctor mike be over-complicating things, it’s magic, it doesn’t need a diagnostic because it’s ✨magic✨
mike roasting voldy's nose lol
Voldemort: "you've been a good servant, Severus. But only I can live." Mike: "not if you go to Antarctica cuz you can't warm up the air through your nose" 💀💀
Voldy knows that and he can easily have small fires under his nose in Antarctica 😂, maybe to avoid it he went to Africa just in case
As a history nerd, the fact that Doctor Mike said 'phoenicians' as the plural of 'phoenix' has me in stiches 😂😂
SAME 😂 Crying Phoenicians are all you need…?! lmao
I cracked up so much at that 🤣🤣 And the end was pure gold
That was amazing.
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
I misheard it as "Venetians". Which was even more confusing.
Omg the best descriptions of Voldemort EVER!!! 😂😂
*Voldemort dies* *meanwhile, in another universe* "You should have gone for the head" *snaps*
Voldemort: "But only I can live forever-" Mike: "Not if u go to Antarctica!" That had me dead 😂😂😂😂💖💖
7:28 Yes. Yes, they are, in fact, candies that literally get kids sick. But what you didn't see (and maybe wasn't shown in the movie? I don't remember, it's been years since I've watched any of them...) was that each of these treats comes with a cure that gets you all better the moment you're safely out of class.
or it could simply be that effect of those treats are temporary. like for couple of hours. Similar as effect of some spells wears off after a time. Simple as that
@@MsKeylas Well, I don't know if the movies ever bothered to explain...again, haven't seen 'em in years...but in the books, it was explicitly explained that each treat was part of a pair, one to make you just sick enough to get you out of class, and one to eat after you're safely out of class, containing the antidote to the first treat. (Some of them are even both treats in one, with color-coded ends to tell you which one to eat first.) And you get a bundle of such paired treats with each purchase, 'cause they come in what's known as "Skiving Snackboxes."
@@DaZebraffe Yeah, I agree I was more writing comment for this Doctor who was constantly over reacting
Haven't watched them in years?? You are so not a fan lol
@@DaZebraffe As I recall, in the books the candies were half one color, half another color. One have got you sick, the other half cured you.
I mean, Neville's fall kinda stop thanks to the torch so he having just a broken wrist is the best and most logical outcome. I love how Mike says that Finite Incantatem is what he says to the patients misbehave and I'm imagine it like "Cease your bullshit"
4:35 I love how Mike is worried about salmonella and not about the poison
Who would have ever thought Harry Potter would be seen in a medical perspective..huge respects to your creativity sir ! Love Dr. Mike's content 💜
Yeah Dr. Mike’s videos are the best
Like Lmaooo
This is why I love him 😂
I just got deja vu from your comment I've no idea how
heres my view as a reptile interest: its not a snake, its actually a legless lizard, different things, different things.
I clicked so fast when I saw "Doctor reacts" and "Harry Potter" in the same sentence lol. Two of my absolute favourite things.
same!
Same!!!!
Same!
Same
bro!! are you a louie?!
The very first peice of critic is interesting, because the shape of the scar is "lightning shaped" because the wand-movement required to perform the killing curse (or "Avada Kedavra") is in the shape of said lightning shape. So when the forbidden curse hit Harry - presumely where the scar is on his forehead - and rebounded back to Voldemort, the shape remained in form of the scar.
0:50 The scar is actually shaped the same as the hand movement that you do when performing Avada Kedavra.
Harry : finally defeats Voldemort Mike : that’s a bad skin condition Me : dying for the next 3 minutes 🤣😂🤣😂
Same...
Yuppp 😂😂😂
so true, thats obviously a terrible skin condition :):):)
Fun facts about many of the injuries you covered. Warning: Text Wall of Spoilers Ahead Movie 1)Harry's scar is considered a curse scar. It was created by the Instant Death curse Voldemort tried casting on him that rebounded on Voldy. And in regards to the flying class, I'm pretty sure Madame Pomphrey, the school healer, get's ignored about her concerns all the time. She probably did suggest head gear and Madame Hooch, the flying instructor and Quidditch Referee, laughed all the way out of the hospital wing. Sounds like something that could've happened. Movie 2)The basilisk is called the King of Serpents, but looks closer to a legless lizard. It's also got the deadliest venom in the world. I don't think Harry really cared about putting pressure on the wound (he was also 12 at the time, and 12yos are notorious for their uninformed decisions) when he thought he was gonna die from the envenomation (Until Fawkes the Phoenix comes in and cries on him). A basilisk is created when a toad incubates a chicken egg. Phoenixes are also incredibly rare and afaik there's only 2 known Phoenixes in the HP universe. Fawkes, and another phoenix that's a Quidditch Team Mascot. Phoenixes are very picky on who they like, and after Dumbledore died, he left hogwarts and I don't think he was ever seen again in the books or movies. Movie 4) Harry taking Gillyweed isn't considered cheating. It was considered a legitimate method for diving through the great lake. Peter Pettigrew, the man that cut his hand off, had it replaced with a magical prosthetic by Voldemort as a reward for his loyalty Movie 5) The skiving snackboxes you saw the Weasley twins showing their classmates were supposed to be eaten in halves. One half will cause the illness, the other will fix it. I believe the fix-it halves were also usable for actual illnesses/injuries. (And Im 100% certain that this isn't the half blood prince, movie 6. The Weasley Twins, even if they hadn't dropped out, were in their last year during Harry's 5th year. They had their own shop in Movie 6 and wouldn't . Movie 6) The hand Dumbledore cut into was cursed and in the books is described as blackened and withered. The curse was supposed to kill Dumbledore instantly but he was able to stay alive long enough to have it isolated in that hand. It was still going to kill him within a year of getting it though. So, essentially, cutting into that hand was technically the least painful part for him, cuz the nerves in that hand are already dead. Movie 7) Ron got splinched, which is something that happens when Apparition isn't done properly (Teleportation) You end up leaving bits of yourself behind wherever you teleported from(usually an easy fix as long as the bits you lost are able to be found. I believe they have a whole ward dedicated to stuff like that in their hospital, St Mungo's.. Essence of Dittany is kind of a quick fix for external injuries, it'll stop the bleeding and seal up the wounds. Harry was being dumb with the dagger. That's pretty on par with him. Movie 8) I have nothing to add for this one. I'm gonna be calling Voldemort "Eel-demort" from now on tho XDDDD
Well... People like you are the ones I want to call them friends🤣🤣🤣🤣 well done fellow potterhead... You completely covered everything 💖💖💖
Mischief managed
Commenting to get you higher 🤗
Well, Harry took a bludger to the head (all thanks to Cormac McLaggen) in book 6 and came to in the hospital wing afterwards with his head wrapped in bandages, Madam Pomfrey said he had gotten a cracked skull and that she'd mended it, but was keeping him overnight for observation. Nonetheless, she doesn't make any notable objections to how dangerous Quidditch actually is (nor does anyone else, for that matter).
This was amazing thank you for typing out all my thoughts! My only addition is Bellatrix’s dagger was cursed. I’d rather not have a cursed, or more realistically poisoned blade in me. Maybe Harry thought that by removing the dark artifact dobby might be able to use his latent magic to heal himself.
this was so halarious i like the parts when he says that the charaters are treating hurt bodies wrong😂
you should react to the documentary about the stunt double. i had no idea that had happened to him!
About Ron's injury, it's called "splinching" in the harry potter world. It happens when you Apparate (teleport) but you're unfocused and in a hurry there's a risk of leaving a part of your body behind, in Ron's case some of his upper arm.
I though he got hurt by a spell
I thought it was because Yaxley grabbed him and tried to drag him somewhere else, so his arm was half ripped off
What the hell...
@@adamcummings20 that could be part of it, but I remember splinching being talked about as leaving a part of your body behind when you Apparate incorrectly in the books.
Definitely splinched, Hermione even says thats what happened to him
Throughout the years, after reading the books (mostly audiobook), and watching the movies more than a handful of times, I always thought wizards and witches are somehow a little physically stronger than muggles, I mean they do seem live a bit more than muggles, most of them into their early 100s. Them being stronger, and sustaining less injury after accidents was something I often thought about, lol.
The headmaster previous to Dumbledore lived 350 years
A wizard's average age upon death is 130 - 140. The oldest wizard lived to be 755 years old.
@@izzysabitdizzy6347 Well, when you have access to magical stones and unicorn blood... life expectancy is probably going to go up.
Dumbledore is the best example of this. Although, it had to come to an end 😞
@@izzysabitdizzy6347 yes, Nicholas Flammel, but he had the philosophers stone so… eternal life is what came with it
I was writing a book into my ai about Harry Potter thanks for giving me more ideas
Mike should do book injuries too. Cause like, snape gets married by Nagini in the book. It's a way more metal way to go out and out is way bloodier than the film scene.
