There’s a premise in the Harry Potter stories of ‘muggles’ (non-magical people) largely being unaware of the magical world. Typically magic happens right in front of them and they just either ignore it (assuming they’re going a bit crazy) or in some cases the wizards and witches have to alter their memories.

In Quidditch, the game plays until the Golden Snitch is caught. That marks the end of the game, and it adds 150 points to the team whose Seeker caught it. Yes, it would be a bad idea to catch The Seeker if your team was losing by more than 150 points, but on the other hand if you’re losing that badly it could be because your team has had players injured and it might be best to just get it over with.

Why was philosopher's Stone changed to Sorcerer's Stone? It was changed by the American publisher, Scholastic, because it thought American children wouldn't want to read a book with "philosopher" in the title.

Buckle up because this is gunna be an essay: Most of the questions you have are explained more in depth in the books, but were cut from the movies for time. Try not to over think it though because the short answer to most of your questions is "Magic". Muggles(non-magical people) don't know about wizards, with a few exceptions like someone who marries a witch or wizard or the parents of new witches and wizards(like Hermione's parents). The reason they never stumble onto the wizarding world is because of charms and spells meant to keep them away. So if a muggle wanders close to Hogwarts or some other magical area, they will suddenly remember an important appointment or something that makes them turn away. Same goes for platform 9 3/4, the muggles all magically look away whenever someone runs through the wall. There are other magic schools around the world, they touch on them in later movies so I wont go any more in depth here. Im not positive but I believe witches and wizards can come from anywhere in the world. George brought up a good point about accents while doing magic, but the books and movies never really explain it. I still wonder about whether a wizard in Brazil still literally says "Wingardium Leviosa" when casting the spell. Each house at Hogwarts has its own attributes that they represent: Gryffindor=Bravery Hufflepuff=Loyalty Ravenclaw=Intelligence Slytherin=Ambition/Cunning These attributes are not totally absolute though, Hermione is often said to be the most intelligent student in their grade, but she was placed in Gryffindor instead of Ravenclaw because she is also very brave. Slytherin is kinda oversimplified in the movies(and the books for that matter) to be the "evil" house, but the books do say multiple times that not everyone in Slytherin is evil and not every evil wizard is from Slytherin. In Quiddich, there is no time limit and the match does not end until the snitch is caught and whoever catches it scores 150 points. The books mention the longest match was like 60 days long or something because neither team could catch the snitch. Simone was right in saying that if one team has 200 pts. and the other team has 20 pts. if the losing team's seeker catches the snitch, they would still lose the match because the final score would be 200-170. Sorry for the long comment but I think that answers most of your questions. There is a lot of great worldbuilding in this series that gets glossed over in the movies so I hope this helps your understanding of it! P.S. Great reactions, can't wait for the rest of the series!

That's a very strange game in terms of its point system and time system. You can basically score infinitely with the regular ball as long as the snitch is lost or not in a team's possession. That sounds miserable. Who wants to play or watch a game that has NO LIMIT except it might end if a genius is able to catch a flying golf ball while flying atop a broom. I loved most of the movies as a kid, they still hold up in my opinion. But that is some janky writing on J. K. Rowling's part.

For example: Smaug from _The Hobbit_ (novel, not movie) is called a wyrm. Bonus fun fact: Asian countries that use the Chinese Zodiac sometimes replace certain animals with others. Instead of a dragon, Southeast Asian countries use a naga (a giant snake), which is sometimes depicted as wingless and legless dragon. In lore, nagas are able to shapeshift between snake and human, or assume a half-way form (snake-with-human-head and human-with-snake-tail-instead-of-legs are the two most common options). Rowling really _SHOULD_ have mentioned that Nagini was a naga _BEFORE_ the second _Fantastic Beasts_ movie. There would have been a lot less people complaining about that, then.

She was a schoolteacher until the school district fired her for having a disease called friedrichs ataxia. She was so traumatized with losing her job that she needed a wheelchair for the rest of her life. That was in 1980 before there were laws to protect against discrimination. She volunteered in her elementary school because she loved kids so much. The kids were mad about harry potter so Abbie read the books too. This was before the movies. She was such an inspiration!

Just to clarify, the word "dragon" doesn't refer to any specific creature but is used as a colloquial umbrella term for various different creatures similar to reptiles, typically viewed as winged and fire-breathing. The term "wyvern" is more commonly used for a German type of dragon commonly depicted as more pterosaur-esque (and may even be based on encounters with previously extant pterosaurs, now extinct).

A teacher can practically hand out or take away points at their own discretion, they can more or less make up justifications, they can give out 20 points for something minor, or just 2 points - they don't need to justify the amount to anyone, so they can play favourites (which Snape does almost all the time for Slytherin, Dumbledore does sometimes for Harry, McGonagall doesn't for anyone...

Just for an overview of the houses, here: Gryffindor is the house for people with courage. They're the bravest ones, but they also tend to be hot-headed and rush into situations without thinking. But they stand up for themselves and don't let fear get in their way. Hufflepuffs are more about loyalty, hard work and kindness. They're the quietest house and don't get much glory and sometimes people call them stupid, but they have a reputation for being the most relaxed and accepting house, although a lot of the Hufflepuffs in the books are a bit...short-sighted or hysterical. There's a few really good ones, though. Ravenclaws are all about learning and intelligence. They have a reputation for being super-nerds and proud of it, but it's also the house for smart eccentrics. They're a bit snobby about their own intelligence, but they have the advantage that they analyse a situation before they act and they're quite a good counterpart to Gryffindor because of that. Slytherins are known for being cunning and ambitious. They don't let things stand in their way of getting where they want to be - and usually that's in a position of glory. They also don't mind using sneaky tactics and playing mind games. This makes them more likely to turn out cruel or ruthless, but not all of them are. There's also been some awful Gryffindors and Ravenclaws turned out. One of Voldemort's most loyal followers was a Gryffindor (Voldemort himself was a Slytherin). Not all Slytherins are evil, just their traits have a tendency to lead them towards it more than other houses.

Well... If you think german movie title translation sucks, wait I told you about France.... We had movies we changed the english title, to gave them another english title (i.e. : "The Hangover" became "Very Bad Trip") We have also a flagrant case of titles translated so 1) they don't have anything in common with the original title and 2) even if they are from the same franchise, it's impossible to tell by their french title : "Die Hard", "Die Harder" and "Die Hard With a Vengeance" were translated respectively by "Piège de Cristal" (Cristal Trap), "58 Minutes pour Vivre" (58 minutes to live) and "Une journée en Enfer" (A Day in Hell)

Lots of schools in the UK still have houses (named after scientists or artists). It’s a quick way to split a class up into groups for sports teams or activities. I went to a Catholic school and we had four houses named after English saints (Alban, Becket, Fisher, and More)

I started following you two about halfway through your HP adventures and wanted to wait until you were done so I can start and binge session. And here we are, good times are coming!

Awesome reactions! Looking forward to your reaction to HP Chamber of Secrets. Will say that after the second movie, the series gets a lot darker and more mature as the characters grow up. I'd also definitely recommend reading the books because they provide so much context that a lot of the movies cut out.

Every time you said "20 years ago", my soul withered away a little bit more

It's interesting watching George be so critical yet get so much of the lore/rules wrong.

You might recognize Nearly-Headless Nick. That's John Cleese from Monty Python. And yes, the rules at Hogwarts are mind-bogglingly arbitrary.

Rowling did things like that on purpose, to make clear how different the magic world is. And she likes word-plays :)

Regarding the different titles: The “Scholastic Corporation” who bought the rights to publish the book in the USA thought that the title was too archaic and too ancient sounding for the american market. They also thought that some of the younger readers might not know what a philosopher is and wanted to publish the book under the title "Harry Potter and the School of Magic". J.K.Rowling fought against that title and they finally agreed to call the US-Version “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone”. All the scenes where the children mention the stone where filmed as a british version with the kids saying Philosopher's Stone and as an american version with them saying Sorcerer's Stone. Quirrel and Dumbledore only refer to it as “The Stone” to avoid the need to film every scene where the stone is mentioned twice.

OK, so from memory, I believe the difference in names goes back to the books. This book was published initially in the UK, using the Philosopher's Stone title, but then the U.S. publisher essentially said, "Why the heck would a philosopher have a stone, and what could be more boring than that?" So, they changed the title to juice it up a bit. Basically, it was a marketing decision. And, as odd as it may seem, there was a time when J.K. Rowling did not call all the shots.

Just to be clear: Wyverns are a subspecies of dragons. It's like thumbs and fingers - All thumbs are fingers, but not all fingers are thumbs

You definitely need to read the books after the series. They have so much more depth, story and character wise, and answer most questions

@@jkhoover The British audiobooks are done by Stephen Fry. Fun anecdote: on a chat show he told how he struggled with a particular phrase when recording one of the early ones and asked if he could adjust it slightly. JKR apparently said 'no' and proceeded to put the same phrase at least once in each of the later books. EDIT: for a comparison of the two readers kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y2eizdd-gKi2YsY.html

Now that you watched the final one I can tell you that when Severus Snape was questioning Harry,each ingredient he told has actually a different meanings when you put them together it's give this statement :" condolences for Lilly's death". 🥺

I think it's a bit pedantic to argue the sub-classification of a species of mythical creatures. The "rules" that distinguish wyverns from dragons are based entirely on what work of fiction you're drawing from. This work of fiction doesn't make any distinction between them.

So glad they watched the extended version :)

There's a meme that I found that explains what Snape meant during his first verbal exchange with Harry. When Snape asks Harry what he would get if he added powered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood, the meme explains that Asphodel is from the same family of flowers as lilies and convey the message of 'my regrets follow you to the grave' and wormwood means 'absense', Snape was really telling Harry "I bitterly regret Lily's death".

It was fun to watch you react! I hope we won't wait long weeks before another one! Welcome to this wonderful journey 💗

I found your channel yesterday because of your Band of Brothers reaction. Finished that today and now im upset cause I found you too soon and have to wait for the next HP reaction... worth the wait though you guys are awesome and have plenty more for me to watch while I wait.

Both of the actors that played Professor Dumbledore are Irish: Richard Harris here and later Michael Gambon (after Richard Harris died in 2002). You might have also seen Richard Harris in 'Gladiator' where he played Emperor Marcus Aurelius, father to Commodus/Joaquin Phoenix. Richard Harris was well-known for a lot of older films in the 60s and 70s.

In Quidditch tournaments, if two teams have the same number of games won (which can happen quite easily), the tournament winner is decided by total points. So while Seekers often determine who wins a game, it's the scoring by the Chasers that determines who wins the tournament. The school quidditch games are all part of a year long tournament.

There's a meme where all the books are retitled with Hermione - this one was "Hermione Granger and that time I used the power of research and deductive reasoning to make sure Harry didn't die." The true heroine of the group!

@@brianalambert1192 Still, Ron was the chess master in this movie. Hermione's main accomplishment (finding both the potions to move on and go back among seven) was cut. It's really sloppy when you have Hagrid tell the kids that Snape is one of the teachers protecting the Stone and then cut his trial entirely.

Regarding wyverns vs dragons, there is only a difference in British heraldry. In cryptozoology wyverns are just a subspecies of dragon so a baby wyvern is still a baby dragon. Ergo, Norbert is a baby dragon.

Interesting fact: the shadow of the cat turning into Professor Mcgonagall's silhouette is portrayed by the actor Allan Rickman who did the shadows with his own hands in front of a light projector.

They changed the name 'cause the marketing team for the books thought that "The Philospher's Stone" (which is the name of the actual real life legend) sounds too boring to american kids and would NEVER sell in the US and changed it to "Sorcerer's Stone" 'cause you know Sorcerer's are cool and all that. It's actually really ridiculous, I mean you don't change Merlin's name to Kaboom Kapow Wizard, 'cause you think Merlin sounds too boring for kids.😹

This was great to watch! The books will answer some questions you have. Can’t wait for chamber of secrets

The lady is correct. You do t want to catch the snitch if your 150+ pts behind. Cause catching the snitch doesn't mean you win, it means you get 150 and the game ends. Whoever has most points wins. So like she said if you're 180pts behind 130 - 310 and you catch the snitch your team is now 280 - 310 game ends and your team still looses cause other team has 30pts more.

Listening to the two of you try to work out the rules of Quiddich is hilarious.

J.K. Rowling wrote these books to her audiences age groups. The first book/movie was for 8-10 year olds. Then a new book came out every 2 years or so. She kept increasing the reading level/language as her primary audience grew up with the books. Think of the first/second movies as a pre-teen audience, 3-4 is more for teenagers, and 5-7 are for young adults. This was genius in my opinion, because as we grew up reading, so did the characters in the story. The books were amazing, but I find as an adult revisting them, I don't enjoy the first few nearly as much as the last 4.

While this is definitely true, the effect has to be combined with the simple fact that she was becomming better and better author with each book. IMO, first 3 books are comparatively weaker even if we adjust for different target audience. In particular, introduction of special plot device (I'm avoiding spoilers) in book 3 should be done with extreme care, which she definitely didn't employ there. I mean, it is good enough within the context of that book alone, but not the whole series.

Plssss continue the series!! Love ur reactions💗

@15:25 Exactly! He’s taking notes, which is a clear sign of someone who’s paying attention.

Hogwarts is the only school for Witchcraft and Wizardry in the British Isles. There are several other schools mentioned throughout the books including one in Western Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, East Asia, Africa, North America and South America.

Fun Fact: This series of books has been translated into dozens of languages, issued to many more different nations. In the Czech Republic, linguistically, female surnames are always modified by the suffix '-ova.' So if you bought a copy of the books there, the author is J.K. Rowlingova!

Same in Slovak language, it's J. K. Rowlingová. And same with the names of the girls and women in the books: Hermiona Grangerová, Ginny Weasleyová, profesorka McGonagallová etc. Without the -ová, you can't decline their names and use them in a Slovak phrase properly. In Russian, you get Джоан Кэтлин Роулинг, transliterated as Džoan Ketlin Rouling - they write the names as they are pronounced, either way they couldn't pronounce them properly. It works the other way too: the English speaking countries adapt foreign names to their language: the Russian name Фёдор Михайлович Достоевский (transliterated as Fiodor Michailovič Dostojevskij) is changed to Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky, which is different from the original name, but only written like that the English speakers can pronounce it properly.

I'm sure if someone's already commented this but out of all the quizzes you have to take the Pottermore one because that's the most accurate one and developed by JK Rowling herself.

Since goblet of fire is posted, it's explained in the 4th book that catching the snitch doesn't auto win you the game it just ends the game; the snitch is only worth 150 points so if you team only has 30 and the other team had 200 youd still lose by 20 points; in the first book when Harry caught the snitch the team I believe were either tied or only had a 10 point difference between them

Philosophers' Stone was not an actual piece of rock (hence the apostrophe in that position), but an element in alchemy. It was said to be able to transmute base metals, such as mercury, into noble metals, such as gold or silver. It was also said to be able to prolong life, possibly indefinitely. Nobody ever found the correct compound for this (possibly because it never existed) but many alchemists spent their lives trying. This effort was known as the Great Work, or Magnum Opus.

For the record there are many types of dragons from the English Wyverns to the Chinese Lung’s and the Russian Frosts a Wyvern is only a type of dragon species within the various Draconian Genus’s. The Chinese lung is akin to a scaled Eel with Legs and the head of a Lion, while there are others that burrow underground like Wyrms (pronounced Worms) but are of multiple different branching Genus’s. A Dragon is the type of species, the breed or different races within are what determines the difference in characteristics, like comparing Humans to Cavemen or Neanderthals were all the same but different as well.

Continue with this series.

From what I do know, All wyverns are dragons, but not all dragons are wyverns. True dragons have four legs and a set of wings, and while wyverns are not true dragons, they are still a type of dragon

A game of Quidditch ends when one of the seekers catches the Snitch. Some games have gone on for years. Catching the snitch does not automatically mean that you win, but because you get 150 points for catching the snitch (15 times more than putting the Quaffel through a hoop) it usually ends up that way.

Try not to question things too much. Things in the early movies are very simplified. Keep in mind, these are kids stories haha! Also the Wyvern vs Dragon thing depends on the mythology.

Wyverns and Dragons are the same damn thing. I'm sick of people being over technical about a mythical creature.

Sometimes the screenwriter did a crappy job explaining stuff in this world even with the book author helping. It always leaves the majority of reactors with questions or just totally confused. Harry did NOT kill Quirrell. In the book Harry's touch blistered his skin. Voldemort killed him by leaving his body.

I heard that whisper - "Karazhan"

"So, that's a cat, it's got pointy ears..." nope, also a wizard :D

It's not a wyvern. Its a baby dragon that was just born (hatched out of egg). Ron knows what type of dragon because one of his older brother's studies and works with dragons so he knows all types of different dragons

Nice.. Harry Potter tour. Enjoy guys.

All wyverns are dragons, not all dragons are wyverns.

Technically, most languages and cultures - even historically - don't differentiate between wyvern and dragon since the only real difference is the number of "legs" - and even that is a bit subjective since you could logically consider the wings the wyvern's front "legs" considering - especially in these movies - you literally see it walking around and using the wings in much the same way a dragon would walk.

"No, that's a wyvern" Wyverns are dragons, George. A wyvern is a 2 legged dragon.
