As the young cast has said, Alan Rickman took all the kids under his wing. Mentored them. Made them laugh. Learned life lessons and how to be a great actor. Apparently he was the most beloved of all of them with the kids.

Ron is the youngest son in a family of overachievers, his brothers were all successful at school either in Quidditch or Prefects or Head boys so Ron sees himself achieving all of that and more in the mirror. Any achievements he has are downplayed because he’s not the first to do it in his family, it’s kinda sad when you think about it 🥺

He is the youngest but to say that his achievements are downplayed is a bit of an overstatement. His visions in the mirror are that he wishes he was on his own doing all those achievements. That he had no siblings because he feels overshadowed. Trying to explain this and not spoiling is extremely hard but imma just say Mrs. Weasley is a saint.

Fun fact, Alan Rickman didn't want to continue to be Snape quite early in the franchise but J.K Rowling told him (no spoilers) something about Snape that made him stay to be the character for all the movies. No one except them knew about it until the last books so even when directors told him one way to act in scenes he did differently because he knew what was going to happen later in the story.

The actor who played Snape, Alan Rickman, was a legendary Shakespearian stage actor who also made a great name in films playing (mostly) villains -- the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood, Snape in the Harry Potter series, Hans Gruber in Die Hard, so many others. And also the Spock-like character in Galaxy Quest. He will be sorely missed.

I love when they ask questions that everyone knows the answer to but no one wants to spoil and we are all just thinking "oh you'll find out." 😅
The first thing Snape asks Harry is "Potter! What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" According to Victorian Flower Language, asphodel is a type of lily meaning 'My regrets follow you to the grave' and wormwood means 'absence' and also typically symbolised bitter sorrow.A

I'm with Amber on this. But it's not bashing. The tone of the stories change over the years - which is pretty well done. The series seems like it's going to be a simple youth wish fulfillment story. But even this first story... hitting all those notes... hints that there is something more to come with Snape. He seems like the obvious mustache (or cape) twirling villain. But he isn't. Likewise the world of Harry Potter has more than expected.

You two are gonna love these movies!! Heads Up -- as the years go by at Hogwarts, and the kids grow up, the movies' themes get darker and darker and the evil in the stories gets worse and worse. Also, the kids get more and more knowledge in magic, so the magic elements increase every movie too. For the most part, each movie is a year at Hogwarts, with a few exceptions. It is soooo worth the journey!! Remember, one reason this series is so well loved is because JK Rowling was writing them as her target audience was growing up, just like the kids in the books....so that audience became VERY close to the characters.
Back in the day my 2 stepdaughters and I bonded over this series! It helped us get to know each other and still be close to this day!! Love it!!

We read the books out loud as a family while the kids were just starting to read chapter books. As they got older they took turns reading too. Eventually they got to a point where they independently read. We dressed up and went to the bookstore at midnight to get the copy of the next book. That’s how cool it was to READ these books. It gets a lot more mature and dark by the end but it really did hook my young readers.

So basically each of the 4 houses represent a value: Gryffindor is bravery Slithering is ambition Hufflepuff is empathy And lastly Ravenclaw is intelligence. Basically if you read the books you would know many of the lines in the books that were Ron’s are Hermiones in the movie, although the movies are absolutely amazing they paint Ron to be useless and dumb when he really isn’t.

Rowling researched Hermetic-magic and antiquity when writing these books. The actual book is called The Philosophers stone but it was changed to Sorcerers stone for american audiences. In Hermeticism the philosophers stone is the end all be all, so she naturally started her first book with that.
I haven't even started watching the video and I have to say this: Absolutely love you two and the energy you put into the universe. I read the entire Potter series every 18 months or so for over a decade. Please, please, please when your kids are a bit older sit down and read these books together out loud as a family.

I got into the Harry Potter book series by chance. My mother gave the first three to my middle child. I always skimmed through what my kids were reading to know what they were into, just in case I ever had to talk them down from a psychotic episode or something. My son came in while I was looking through the first one and said, "Oh cool! You're reading them, I'll finally have someone to talk to about it!" I didn't have the heart to tell him I was just being nosy so I started really reading and got dragged in with him. I love the book series and the movies.

I was working at a bookstore when the first three books came in late summer of 1999. We could not keep them in stock, even though we got new boxes every day. My nephew was 7 that year, so I bought him the set of three, and also bought a set for myself because I had heard that adults were loving it, too. I decided to read the first book before the return window closed just in case I didn’t like it, but after devouring it in just 2 1/2 hours, I was sucked in. I had to wait for book 4 since I was on vacation when it came out, but got book 5 at midnight and book 6 the first morning. I had quit the bookstore job before book 5, but got another bookstore job a few weeks before book 7 came out. Working that midnight sale was a blast-I dressed up as a Firebolt, bought my book after the rush was over, got home by 2:30 am, and finished reading it by noon.

Each book is self-contained yet sets up things that pay off in other books -- and create a whole new appreciation for earlier scenes when you go back and re-read the series again. -- One of the coolest things about the Harry Potter books is that they got a lot of kids reading books. That itself is a fantastic thing.

@@johnpaullogan1365 , Tolkien, who inspired Stephen King? Hemingway, who got grown men into reading for pleasure? Actually (in Hermione’s voice), reading for pleasure was common before tv existed. It still is. I look forward to every new book from Christopher Moore, and Stephen King, and many others. It’s a sad world when kids don’t read for fun.
They give all Ron's brilliance to Hermione, in the books she is book smart but usually it's her who panicks.

I promise you guys will love the Harry Potter series before you're done watching them. It gets better and better and better as the films go from one to the next. It's like watching the cast grow up before your eyes. I promise you haven't seen nothing yet, even though the first movie is awesome. I remember seeing it in theatre's when it first came out, and it's a memory I will cherish for as long as I live. What's even cooler for you two is that you don't even have to wait a year or two for each movie to be released like most of us did.

Actually, in the book, Dumbledore's first words before the dinner were "Nitwit, blubber, oddment, and tweak." It was after dinner he said all the announcements.
If I recall correctly, Gryffindor house valued courage, Hufflepuff valued loyalty, Ravenclaw valued intelligence and Slytherin valued ambition. Also sad at the passing of Robbie Coltrane, aka Rubeus Hagrid.
Great choice! Gotta keep in mind that the tone of the films age with the kids, so it starts off very whimsical with the films and then ends up very dark and adult in plot.
people reacting to the Quirrell plot twist never fails to make me happy
This is the song that the Sorting Hat sings in the book version of Sorcerer's Stone before he sorted the first year's students into their houses; "Oh you may not think I'm pretty, But don't judge on what you see, I'll eat myself if you can find A smarter hat than me. You can keep your bowlers black, Your top hats sleek and tall, For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat And I can cap them all. There's nothing hidden in your head The Sorting Hat can't see, So try me on and I will tell you Where you ought to be. You might belong in Gryffindor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve, and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart; You might belong in Hufflepuff, Where they are just and loyal, Those patient Hufflepuffs are true And unafraid of toil; Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you've a ready mind, Where those of wit and learning, Will always find their kind; Or perhaps in Slytherin You'll make your real friends, Those cunning folks use any means To achieve their ends. So put me on! Don't be afraid! And don't get in a flap! You're in safe hands (though I have none) For I'm a Thinking Cap!" 🧙♂️🧙♀️🪄✨⚡🖤 BTW, I was sorted into Gryffindor in the Pottermore (now called Wizarding World) official website. The website was created by the Sony company and the author of the Harry Potter books, JK Rowling. I had to take a fun and special personality test to find out what house I am in. Go go Gryffindor! ❤💛❤🦁🏰🪄👍
The third film in the Harry Potter franchise is perfection imo!!!❤❤❤
One thing to remember with this series is that it was written so that as each book was released and the readers grew up, the themes would get more mature and grow with them. This first one is more simplistic and since Harry is 11 years old, he deals with 11 year old type problems like an 11 year old would. It gets more intense as the series goes on. And, I think, gets better with each book/movie.

Welcome to Pottermania! You've gone down the rabbit hole! I prefer the books, myself, but it's quite possible to enjoy all the movies without reading them. The books get darker (as has been mentioned) as the series goes along, but they also get longer. The producers had to make significant changes from the fourth movie on, to keep the movie length practical. Sometimes clues and whole characters are cut out, leaving the audience to ask questions. But, as I said, the movies can still stand by themselves.
What’s cool is the movie get more mature and darker as the characters age. Only 6 more to go. I’ve seen them numerous times. Also read all the books. I’m 67, any age can enjoy Harry Potter.
Friendship & loyalty are themes that run through these films. Loved your reaction. I felt the same way you guys did about Snape. Malfoy & his family (you get to know them as the series progresses) are characters everyone loves to hate. Great choice.

It's my favorite too but leaves out a TON of very important background lore. It's a shame too.

Fang is a Neapolitan mastiff. In Greek mythology Cerberus is a 3 headed dog that guards the gates of hell.
Snape is a really interesting and complex character. Maybe I was a weird kid but I always liked him, even when I didn't know if he was good or bad :)
my son, now 28, learned to read with Harry Potter. I started reading them to him when he was 5. Then, through the years, he read them to me.... It became our nightly ritual. He would come home early from his friend's house so he could get fed and bathed so we would have more time to read. Then, I'd put him in bed and we'd talk for about 1/2 hour about what we had read and what it meant... We read together like that until he was 12 - then we started going to the movies together. Harry Potter is magical in more ways than you think. It created true magic in our relationship that lasts to this day.

I read the books and I loved them. I was in my late 40’s early 50’s when I read them. One of my biggest regrets is I was moving overseas because of my job and I gave the whole set of them to the boy who lived next door and they were hardcover books. I hope you watch all the movies or better still read the books to your children although it might be better to wait a year or so to read the first one to your oldest but I am not an expert on children because I never had any.

I was in my late 20s when the first book came out. I was just starting out as a writer, and I didn't know what I wanted to write about. I was getting into journalism, but when the books came out, I was hooked! Then after the last book came out, I thought, now what? Then I got an idea for a fantasy novel... lol! Due to many reasons, I dropped doing journalism, and went back to what intrigued me so much growing up, fantasy and science fiction!
When he said Snape was trying to save me your reactions 😂😂😂
It's such a good twist with Snape huh? If you ever rewatch the movie, you can see Quirrell up to no good in the background whenever they think it's Snape. In the Quidditch scene, you can see him up behind Snape doing the incantation, when Harry first sees Snape and his scar hurts - well Quirrell is nearby and is facing backwards so the back of his head is facing harry, etc.
My sister who always struggled with her reading bought the audio books and read along with them. It got her reading for pleasure when she was in her 50s. I was a school librarian and totally recommend the books as well. When your kids get a little older you can introduce them to the books. It is true the books and movies get more and more mature and complex so don’t rush it. They will endure and are already “classics”. The problem with being introduced too young is that many of the things that happen are beyond their understanding - then they are bored (because they don’t understand). Then when they are old enough to understand they think “I read that when I was in 2nd grade and it was boring!” So no rush! The same can definitely be said for The Lord of the Rings! Sometimes timing is everything! Snape is a very complex character! Keep watching!

Probably where Rowling got her inspiration for the names of the characters.
In ancient Greek mythology, there exists a three headed dog called Cerberus And yes you're right it's usually depicted as Hades pet😊😊
Since the series ended 24 actors from it have passed from the landlord of the pub to Snape and now Hagrid
This one of those rare series where they just get better and better as it goes along The author’s goal was to create a series that would age along with their readers.. so they get progressively more mature and have darker themes of good vs evil - and the shades of gray between
The awe that the both of you had when Hagrid took Harry to Diagon Alley!!! It made me want to inform you that you can visit Diagon Alley yourselves. Universal studios ( both of them) has a full replica of Diagon Alley. Complete with shops you can visit and even Ollivanders wand shop where you can buy yourselves wands.
Cereberus is indeed the 3 headed dog from greek mythology. In the book, Hagrid buys Fluffy (the giant dog) from "a greek chapie at the pub"
Hi! I love how you both don’t blaspheme or curse! That is so rare these days. I believe you will learn who Snape really is in his character until the last moment from the second to last movie in the series. But it will blow your mind! Love you guys.
I find it funny that you just happen to watch two movies with Alan Rickman in it one after the other. Alan played Hans Gruber in Die hard in 1988 and he plays professor Snape in this movie in 2001. He was such a wonderful actor. I loved him in Galaxy Quest. You ought to give that movie a watch. Very amusing. If you are familiar with Star Trek they poke fun at some of the stereo typical memes from the series and movies.
My favorite Jay line of this reaction … “Okay, let’s see this SQUIDISH.” 😂 You two are so endearing that it just never gets old with ya. Thanks for getting to HP, I hope you stick with them.
This is one of the greatest stories ever told, from the first to the last book, you won't regret this journey
One of the many things I love about this franchise is, as Harry didn't know anything about the Wizarding World, he is the audience, we learn everything along with him. I think that's awesome!
So happy you are finally reacting to Harry Potter. I highly encourage you to read the books. If you only watch the movies, you are only getting a 1/4 to 1/2 of the story depending on the book. There is so much history you are missing out on and once you read the books, you realize just how much of everything was set up in the very first book. And some of the backstories will absolutely break your heart.

As everyone has mentioned the story gets darker and more mature as the kids grow. Another growth to watch is the main trio’s acting. They are good child actors but by the last movie they are amazing actors. They had years surrounded by the best actors in all of Britain and learned well.
