The letter that Filch drops @12:53 is a course on learning magic because he is a squib (a person with no magical talent even though he comes from a wizard family - kind of the opposite of what Hermione is). Of course, he probably feels guilty about it since he is surrounded by nothing but witches and wizards. Also, Harry can hear the snake talk. Remember in the first film he talks to the snake in the zoo and it responds to him?

In the books, when Harry speaks to snakes he does realize that it isn't english. When he ran to the snake during the duel, he said something along the lines of, "don't hurt him." He had no idea that no one else understood what he was saying. When going into the chamber he says, "open up" but it takes him a few tries because he says it in English first. It isn't shown much in the movie, but Harry had a really difficult year his second year bc almost everyone thought he was the heir of Slytherin and people would run the other way when they saw him.

There are three improvised scenes in this one. The first one was Draco saying: I didn't know you can read. Tom Felton simply forgot his original line and he came up with this one, and the director thought it was hilarious and kept it. The second was the dialogue between Lucius and Harry in Dumbledore's office. Jason Isaacs thought he should say something before leaving and he decided upon "Let us hope that Mr. Potter will always be around to save the day" To which Dan Radcliffe answered without skipping a beat: "Don't worry, I will be". Isaacs was beyond impressed. He thought to himself: this isn't a child, this is a 13 year old actor. Also, he decided to kick Dobby down the stairs, something that wasn't in the script. The team thought that he slipped, because Dobby was CGI so there was nothing there.

The letter that Harry handed to Filch (the creepy janitor guy with the cat at Hogwarts) and he didn’t want anyone to see was a correspondence course (kind of like online learning today but done through letters instead of the internet) teaching him how to do basic magic. Filch is what’s called a “squib” which is someone who was born to magical parents but cannot do magic themselves.

@1sloo

2 ай бұрын

I was looking through the comments to see if someone had mentioned this. 😊 Squibs are the opposite of muggle-borns (like Hermione who both of her parents are muggles).

Why doesn’t Harry tell an adult? If you remember the last time he went a trusted adult about a strange event that he was certain was going to happen (ie telling his head of house Professor McGonogall about Voldemort and the Sorcerer’s Stone) he was told that he was mistaken because was a kid and was meddling in things far beyond his childish knowhow and that she didn’t believe him.) This just solidified the years and years of emotional neglect and abuse he received from the Dursley’s and any adults he had tried to confide in before. Also the scene isn’t in the movie, but Harry did ask about living somewhere else and was told it wasn’t possible. So even though he like some of these adults, Hagrid, Dumbledore, McGonogall, he has been conditioned to not trust them. Add that the people he does trust, Ron and Hermione, are telling him not to tell anyone, and he is more apt to listen to them as they have never let him down or given him reason not to trust the. Hope that adds a little bit of context? I love your reviews they are very wholesome 😊

Like in the first movie, when he talked to the snake at the zoo, Harry was talking normal words, and the snake understood him. We understood him and the snake when he said, "Thanks."because we were seeing Harry's perspective. In this movie, they laid that scene out very well so that we heard what everyone else heard.

You just watched the extended version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. What was never explained in any of the movie versions is that Harry, Ron and Hermione found out that Filtch the Hogwarts caretaker is a "Squib". A Squib is a person who was born from a wizarding family but is unable to do magic. They have no magic in them. It's the reverse of a muggleborn which is what Hermione is. She was born from muggle parents but she can do magic. She was born with magic in her. It's sad for Squib because they know about the wizarding world and are exposed to it on a daily bases. But can't be a wizard because they have no magical abilities. It's like they were born physically magically impaired. So that scene you saw where Harry picks up a letter for Filtch and Filtch looks embarrassed about it is because Filtch thought he was found out. Later when Filtch's cat got petrified and he accused Harry of doing it he said it was because Harry found out the he is a squib and Harry was bullying him. In truth Harry and Hermione never understood or knew what a squib was until Ron explained it to them after Filtch accused Harry of bullying him by hurting Mrs. Norris the cat. 🪄🚫😼

Please be forewarned. Richard Harris who played Professor Dumbledore in the first two Harry Potter movie past away in 2002 very shortly after finishing Chamber of Secrets. So in the next film which is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban the new Dumbledore was played by Michael Gambon from then on. But it also just so happened that not too long ago Michael Gambon passed away as well just this past September, 2023. 🖤🕯🧙‍♂️🧙‍♂️🕯🖤

Draco Malfoy's line "I didn't know you could read" was not in the original script, but when they filmed the scene, Tom Felton forgot what he was supposed to say, so he improvised the line on the spot. Shirley Henderson, who played Moaning Myrtle, was 38 years old when the movie was made, making her the oldest actress to play a Hogwarts student. Lucius Malfoy wasn't supposed to have long hair, but when Jason Isaacs was cast, he suggested he have long hair to distinguish him from Draco. In order to keep the hair from falling in his face, Isaacs had to keep his head tilted back, which give him the appearance of being snobbish, like he was looking down on everybody. J.K. Rowling, who wrote the Harry Potter series, actually created a guide to teach the cast members how to speak Parseltongue. Ron Weasley's fear of spiders was not acting. Rupert Grint suffers from such severe arachnophobia in real life that to this day he's still unable to watch the scene in Aragog's hollow. Life size statues of the cast were used in the scenes where the characters were petrified. Rupert Grint said the slugs that Ron Weasley were fake slugs with different flavored slime and admitted they taste quite good. In order to get a sense of how nasty his character was supposed to be, Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy) watched Tom Felton's performance as Draco Malfoy in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". By the time the fifth movie, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" came out, Harry Melling (Harry's cousin, Dudley Dursley) lost so much weight that he had to wear a fat suit. Lucius Malfoy's line "Let us hope Harry Potter will always be around to save the day" and Harry Potter's line, "Don't worry, I will be" were both improvised by Jason Isaacs and Daniel Radcliffe. Director Chris Columbus wasn't sure what he thought about Jason Isaac's ideas about Lucius Malfoy's costume and hair, but when Daniel Radcliffe said he thought it "looked really cool", he decided to go along with it. When Lucius Malfoy slaps Draco's hand with his cane, Jason Isaacs didn't know the cane had small fangs on the top, so Tom Felton's pain was real. Jamie Waylett, who played Draco's friend Crabbe was allergic to the fake snow used in the Winter scene, so his red cheeks in that scene wasn't because of sinuses, it was an allergic reaction. Mr. Filch is the only resident at Hogwarts who is never seen doing any magic. That's because he is a squib, which means he is non-magical, but both his parents are magical. This explains his bitterness towards the students. It's out of envy. Harry and Hagrid pass a bookstore while making their way back to Diagon Alley. If you look real close, you'll see the hard cover versions of the Harry Potter novels in the window.

It bothers me more than it probably should that it's Hermione in the movie who understands the "mudblood" slur and explains it, especially not with the emotional reaction she has, as if she's been dealing with it all her life. Until she was eleven, she'd have no idea whatsoever about the wizarding world, and certainly wouldn't have had to put up with this. As an adult, she might have that response, but here? Nope. It makes no sense. That's why it was Ron who gave the info in the book, while Hermione just said, "Well, he said something, and I could tell it was foul, but I have no idea what it meant." (I guess it goes with the pattern they have of having Hermione know EVERYTHING, and be competent in everything, while removing almost everything Ron does.)

I am terrified of spiders too! I wouldn't have been able to do what Ron did even though he was terrified. It's also explained in the book that Ron's fear of spiders comes from his brothers transfiguring his teddy bear into a spider while he was holding it when he was young. The actor who played Lucius Malfoy didn't want to initially play him - he actually tried out for the part of Gilderoy Lockhart but he relented and took the role because he felt like he could show people how Draco is the way he is because of his father. It's also amazing with how Harry grew up in that horrible family and still manages to be a courageous, loving individual. You're kind of right about the diary - Tom was able to control Ginny because she poured so much of herself into that diary, her fears and hopes and it allowed Tom's memory to gain a foothold into controlling her. He made her kill Hagrid's roosters because the crowing of a rooster will kill (i believe) a Basilisk and used the blood from that to write tom's threatening messages on the wall.

Dobby has no master dobby is a free elf

The reason why Hagrid is carrying a dead rooster when he bursts into Dumbledore's office is because a rooster's crowing of lethal to basilisk, which is why, as it's explained in the book, the possessed Ginny killed Hagrid's roosters when the chamber was opened.

The mudblood scene really flopped in the movie. In the books, it's very clear how severe the insult is, as half of the Gryffindor team Is having to restrain the other half from pounding Malfoy into the ground. It wasn't just Ron. Also, Hermione doesn't know what it means, because civilized people like those who write textbooks wouldn't use it. Ron is the one who explains it to Harry.

I want to give a massive shoutout to Kenneth Branagh, the guy who played Gilderoy Lockhart! He played the bad guy in Tenet and is the director of the first Thor movie. He is such a great actor!

Whenever my friend and I see a really big spider we're like "it was so big it asked me if I was friend of Hagrid" 😂😂😂

Hogwarts is protected by spells that make it unplottable (magically removed from mundane maps) and bewitched so that, if Muggles approached the castle, all they would see would be a mouldering ruin with a sign warning them to keep out and that it was unsafe.

Always seemed to me that a sign warning that it was unsafe would not be enough to keep muggles out. You know someone is going to want to start climbing around in the ruins, heedless of the danger of a decaying wall falling on them. So I assume there's some spell that actually influences them with the idea, "Yes, this would be a cool ruin to explore, but NO! It really is seriously dangerous - a big rock might fall on you and crush you, or you could fall down a shaft, etc. And if you really want to explore old castles, you're already in the UK, there are plenty of safe ones to go and see. Some of them not too far away in Scotland."

Kenneth Branagh has also very recently played Hercule Poirot in the modern Poirot movies. He also directs those films.

The Kwikspell thing? Here’s what you need to know. Argus Filch is what the wizarding world calls a ‘Squib’. Squibs are people who have magical parents…but DON’T have magic themselves. Before he found out he was a squib, the Kwikspell program is a tutoring program for ‘late bloomers’, and he attended that program under the hope that he’d just been a late bloomer in developing magical powers, only to be saddened and angered when it ultimately turned out he had ZERO potential for magic at all.

49:28 The voice was the Basilisk. And or Tom Riddle. But since we heard the movement in the walls we can assume it was the basilisk.

I actually went on a job interview that was like Gilderoy Lockhart's class- it was a group interview (which made zero sense because I the qualifications and licensing for each position we were there for were different) that was started with everyone watching a short FILM about the boss's life...followed by a TEST with questions about the film! Questions like, "what was Doctor so-and-so's first job?" and "when did Doctor so-and-so move to this town?". It was actually graded by the office manager and the doctor who just sat there making sure everyone paid attention to this award-winning documentary. (I missed one question.)

Everyone will have different favorites for different reasons: actors, action, and for the story progression. However, the 1st Harry Potter movie has a certain “magic” and nostalgia to it that can’t be beat. Just love them all.

The unique thing about Harry is that his personality traits made it hard to descide between Slytherin and Gryffindore. Him not wanting to go down a dark path put him in Gryffindore.

Harry heard the snake in the walls just like he was able to hear the snake at the zoo in the first movie.

Rip to the actor who played Hagrid and the actor who played the first Dumbledore

I didn't like how Dobby caused mischief for Harry Potter throughout the film by hiding the letters sent by Ron and Hermione, dropping the Pudding Cake on one of the House guests, preventing Harry and Ron from entering Platform 9 ¾ and especially controlling the Bludger during the Quidditch match. But by the end of the 2nd film I grew to like him. Finally It's crazy that the actor who voices Dobby, is none other than Tobby Jones was Arnim Zola from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Ollie in _The Mist_

You have to understand the restraints on Dobby and how unusual it was for a house elf to work against the will of his master. Dobby cannot straight out warn Harry or tell house secrets to anyone outside the family he serves. and the ethics of not revealing secrets or badmouthing his family is so deeply ingrained that he instantly self-punishes any infraction he catches himself doing. My understanding is that house elves are genetically centered on their servitude, which is pretty weird. whether this is actually genetic or a socially-instilled belief doesn't matter in function. Dobby wanted to be a free elf, which is an alien and sickening prospect for any ordinary house elf, yet when Dobby was freed he continued working in the kitchens under Hogwarts's dining hall AND talking Dumbledore down in wages paid for Dobby's service. This reminds me of the theory of why the Israelites freed by Moses had to wander in the desert for 40 years; the enslaved generation had to die off so only Israelites who grew up not knowing overlords and masters could settle as a free people resistant to future enslavement.

I appreciate all the hard work you've been putting in with all of these reactions coming out so quickly. It's insane the amount of content you're putting out for us. Just don't get burnt out, my friend. We can be patient.

You all are watching the extended version of the movie. Great sequel and series. Enjoy!!

The edit on this was hilarious 😂 such a good job and so excited for more!

"Did you buy your way into this job?" Worse, Lockhart was literally the ONLY person who would take it. Word's been getting around that the Defense Against The Dark Arts Job is jinxed and after what happened to Quirrel in the last movie. . .well let's just say it hasn't exactly improved the position's reputation.

Imagine you can boast that you killed a basilisk at age 12 The car was a damn loyal car coming to their rescue from the spiders.

8:20 When Harry says Voldemort's name, actually it is dangerous because when he was alive, when you pronounced his name he showed up or his followers. That's what they use to communicate with him. So, people try not to say his name ever, even after his dissapearance.

This extended version is wild! I knew there were a couple of deleted scenes from this movie like Harry in detention with Lockheart but I feel like there's so much just in this reaction that's unfamiliar to me 😂😂😂 and I've seen these films dozens of times! I suppose there wasn't really an extended VHS version when i watched it 😂😂

Most underrated book/movie in the series, I always love suspenseful "whodunnit?" mysteries

The voice is the basilisk traveling through the pipes within the walls.

18:59 fun fact: filch was so mad about mrs Norris being petrified because mrs Norris is actually his human wife. Mrs norris had transformed into her animagus (which was a cat) but she was never able to undo the spell and turn herself back into a human and has been stuck as a cat for years

Since you had a few questions after the movie i'll try and respond without any spoilers from the next movies. At the dueling club scene Harry was not possessed by Voldemort. Harry has a very rare ability to talk to snakes and at that moment he was just telling the snake to back off from Justin Finch Fletchley. Everyone was scared because they didn't know this about him and also because both Salazar Slytherin and Voldemort both had that same ability. The voice Harry heard throughout Hogwarts was the voice of the basilisk. The magical car is a Ford Anglia and is basically a regular car that Mr. Arthur Weasley put spells on.

Voldemort getting some of his powers to "spill onto Harry" is also unrelated to what the question was and what i answered and so is the Riddle-Slytherin connection. Btw, your whole second paragraph is a spoiler and i was going for a spoiler-free explanation for someone that only watched the first two movies.

Love that you both are reacting to this series! The applause at the end for Hagrid makes me tear up every time

"Bite his finger off!" LMAOOOOO

Quynh is right about Harry, he knew he was speaking to the snake he just didn't realize he was speaking in parseltongue.

Oh man, your reactions at the beginning about snakes and spiders, I knew this was going to be a great reaction.😂 And, speaking of Kenneth Branaugh and Shakespeare, have you seen Much Ado about nothing? Not serious, very Shakespeare, very Kenneth Branaugh (also a ton of cool actors you will recognize).

Regarding how Floo Powder works: Theoretically, you could probably go anywhere, but it's all connected to specific fireplaces through what's called the Floo Network, so it'll take you to the closest possible fireplace to where you want to go; in other words, it's kind of like a public bus system. Also fun fact: Harry's and Lucius' "Let's just hope Harry Potter will always be around to save the day" and "Don't worry, I will be" was improvised. Jason Isaacs (Lucius) wanted to have a big exit line, so Chris Columbus let him improvise to see what happened, and Daniel Radcliffe improvised his response. Apparently Isaacs had a lot of respect for him after that.

Thank you both for being such great reactors, not being obnoxious or talking over crucial plot points - and just being a delight to listen to and watch!

Out of the first two I prefer 1. ☆Actor spoiler alert☆ not plot, story, or content, just actor: Out of all the movies this is my favourite Dumbledore actor. I miss him. He passed away in 2002, so he isn't in the other movies.

I LOVE how a handful of Slytherin students were seen cheering at the end!! Everybody loves Hagrid except for Draco, it seems!

While this film isn't my favorite of the _Harry Potter_ movies for reasons (e.g. Dobby, Aragog & his spider kids devouring Ron, Harry and Fang; Hermione playing a smaller role, etc..). I still enjoy it for the music composed by John Williams, the visual effects (minus the Pixies and the Cobra which aged poorly), the Horcruxes, the acting from its caat members, the ending of the film when Hagrid returns to Hogwarts and getting a huge round of applause, and also that this film marked the final acting appearance of Richard Harris as Dumbledore before he passed away a month before the release of this film. Finally with Robbie Coltrane who played Hagrid in all films had passed away two years ago, the last scene hits differently right now and as Harry said it himself _"There is no Hogwarts without you, Hagrid."_
