Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (FULL MOVIE REACTION)
Added 2025-01-23 15:00:12 +0000 UTCHey guys!
I forgot how FUCKING INSANE this movie is!!! I liked this one much more than Order of the Phoenix to be honest! This one just hit different. It hit hard as fuck to be honest!
I can't believe we only have 2 movies left of this rewatch and then it's time for the edit!
I hope you guys liked this reaction as much as I liked making it. You guys are fucking awesome, and I'll see you all tomorrow! :)
Love you all,
Alex

2025-03-22 20:01:09 +0000 UTCThe one thing that I don't like about the movies is that they're trying to make see like Harry and Hermione end up together when JK Rowling said herself that Ron and Hermione end up together in the end, and in the seventh book Harry says that he only see's Hermione as a sister
Austin Wunderly
2025-03-09 17:15:27 +0000 UTCYes lord of the rings is better.

2025-03-05 02:36:06 +0000 UTCHaha same. For some resason it was at the bottom when i searched up “Harry Potter”

2025-03-03 09:25:32 +0000 UTCLord of the Rings is definitely the better film series, but only because the Harry Potter movies leave out so much from the books. That's why I'm excited for the HBO Harry Potter show which will hopefully include all the scenes and characters that we didn't get to see.

2025-02-21 16:57:37 +0000 UTCYes, I found it right after I wrote my comment 😂

2025-02-16 21:17:39 +0000 UTCit should be right before this one, I just watched it

2025-02-16 20:09:30 +0000 UTCWhere is the revisit full movie reaction to Order of The Phoenix? Have i missed it or did Alex skip it lol?
Shandie H
2025-02-16 17:15:59 +0000 UTCThe movies are amazing in their own right but they ain't got shit on the books. And they did Ginny so dirty.
caleb geater
2025-02-16 04:36:46 +0000 UTCI can't pick if Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings is better. They are both masterpieces Alex!

2025-02-05 20:37:45 +0000 UTCI think it's natural Hermione and Ron got together. Ron is funny and a lot of times a smart guy in the books. I can understand someone falling in love with him for those reasons. On the other hand Ginny and Harry getting together also makes sense. Ginny is quite a badass in the books and considering she is surrounded by a nurturing family with also silly funny brothers, she finds attractive Harry, who has a complicated past and present, who faces death multiple times and who is brave nevertheless. While Harry finds her attractive because she is a badass and again, having a family like hers, probably comforts him. So it makes a lot of sense this pairing happened this way. As you say Harry deals with a lot of shit already so I feel him and Hermione together, even though they are both brave and smart, would've been quite dramatic.

NoahNT
2025-02-03 17:12:26 +0000 UTCPotter better than lord of the rings in my opinion
King SRKY
2025-01-31 00:23:03 +0000 UTCnono he should watch theatrical first, watching the short ones first makes you love and the extended versions more.
NoahNT
2025-01-28 17:09:48 +0000 UTCAlex, I implore you watch the Lord of the Rings in its full extended editions. Would you only watch the 4 most important Harry Potter films? no. So why desecrate a perfect trilogy by only watching the watered down theatrical versions? Personally, as a big Harry Potter fan, I think the Lord of the Rings is a great series that needs to be explored in its entirety, not some shortened version made for low attention span dorks. I am only saying this because of some of the comments said now.
MaulTheObese
2025-01-28 01:00:27 +0000 UTCYes, of course the Lord of the Rings movies are better than the Harry Potter movies. Just go and watch the theatrical release of the fellowship of the ring, that's a 10/10. Do all of them if you enjoyed, and THEN do all the extended editions. That second viewing plus the extended version makes that rewatch an easy 11/10. Pls pls pls just watch them
Mart Raven
2025-01-27 17:57:22 +0000 UTCPersonal opinion of course, but the lord of the rings is the greatest series of movies ever made. Ever. (If you watch them you really need to watch the extended versions. Trust me, the pacing is good enough that you won’t even realize how long they are)
Mason Allen
2025-01-27 04:29:35 +0000 UTCStill a bit far fetched. It's not that deep.
Ki M
2025-01-27 03:52:37 +0000 UTCHonestly LOTR is an 11 out of 10, and Harry Potter is basically a 9 or 9.5
flynn mathis
2025-01-26 08:29:41 +0000 UTCLotr has a better world building and the music is better. But overall I would say Harry Potter is beter. I can watch these movies every year without a problem. But lotr is a little bit boring if you ask me. But the Hobbit is fun to watch. So deciding between Harry Potter and the Hobbit would be hard for me because I love those movie series both.
Thomas
2025-01-26 07:37:26 +0000 UTCAs someone who grew up on Harry Potter and not Lord of the Rings, LOTR is far better than the former, even though I've loved HP since I first watched them, so long as you have a long enough attention span and attention to detail. Even without those its still better IMO. The scenery, writing, music, characters, stakes, worldbuilding, buildup/payoff were all perfected in LOTR. Also all 3 movies were filmed simultaneously and they really did make the trilogy feel like one seamless story in such a way I have not seen elsewhere... Oh and once you do decide to watch them, be sure to do the extended versions- they are much better than the theatrical releases
Starmanyr
2025-01-25 20:36:35 +0000 UTCI wish they hadn’t done Ginny so dirty in the movies! You would have loved her, if they had written her character more like how she is in the books.
Shandilynn Thomas
2025-01-25 17:23:10 +0000 UTCIt doesn’t show it in the movies, but in the books, the winner of the Goblet of Fire won a hefty payment in gold, which Harry gave to the twins, and they then used to help open their shop.
Shandilynn Thomas
2025-01-25 16:51:17 +0000 UTCYes, LOTR is a LOT better. But it's also way different. Way more mature and the world building is mind blowing. The themes are not very childish like at all. And it still looks amazing 20+ years later.
IGOR PODEMSKI
2025-01-25 14:07:48 +0000 UTCI'm actually scared of Alex watching Lord of the Rings.... with how much he talks he's gonna miss SO MUCH.
IGOR PODEMSKI
2025-01-25 12:04:24 +0000 UTCLeave it to Alex to ask a question only to have it answered while he’s asking the question so he misses the answer 😂
Cory
2025-01-25 04:38:45 +0000 UTCSo in the books, harry gives Fred and George his winnings from the goblet of fire. He didn't want it, and they needed it more. He gave it to them to invest in their shop and follow their dreams. And I think their gratitude for that act, is a part of what made them follow harry through anything.
Destany Johnson
2025-01-25 01:43:57 +0000 UTCLord of the rings is leagues better imo.
Bracken Crisman
2025-01-25 01:03:08 +0000 UTCWell I was 10 when that happened.....I'm 33 now and still find them shit.....I'm not into medieval related things, G.O.T can sit there with that shit too in my opinion
Shaun Valladares
2025-01-25 01:00:48 +0000 UTCI also fell asleep... when I was 10 years old. Adults should not find LOTR boring. It's chalk full of deep meaning and amazing music and unmatched cinematography and incredible dialogue and stellar performances.
Koala Banana
2025-01-25 00:46:41 +0000 UTCI’ve only watched LOTR once and they felt suuuuuuper long. They were cool I guess, but there were definitely parts I was bored and ANNOYED. Harry Potter is waaay better in my opinion.
Paige Atkinson
2025-01-25 00:32:43 +0000 UTCYes that's the reason why Snape calls himself that but what I said is more of a second meaning or Easter egg
IcyDragon
2025-01-25 00:15:24 +0000 UTCI mean that's going a bit deep...I've never heard that theory before.....it's just in relation to his mother's last name of Prince
Shaun Valladares
2025-01-25 00:04:09 +0000 UTCAlex, very random but watch SEVERANCE you will love the show and it’s gaining popularity rn cuz s2 is on a weekly release currently
Mohammad Khan
2025-01-24 19:11:32 +0000 UTC“Now you’re looking at this dull character through a window” 😭😭
Kade Stroud
2025-01-24 18:53:05 +0000 UTCYou can't conjure up money and the way the Weasley twins got the money to start the shop was from Harry's triwizard cup winnings as he still won.
IcyDragon
2025-01-24 16:41:15 +0000 UTCOne way Snape is the Prince part of the half-blood Prince is that prince is 2nd in power to the king and Snape is 2nd in power to voldemort who is the most powerful after Dumbledor's death and so is the most powerful (King like) and also a Half-blood
IcyDragon
2025-01-24 16:22:36 +0000 UTCThat jump scares the best one yet
Jordan Dempster
2025-01-24 14:50:02 +0000 UTCBoth series have a special place in my heart and are quite different. However, The Lord of the Rings is on top. First-time watchers never fail to cry. That said, I cry every time I watch them, and I have seen them too many times to count.
Abram Holterman
2025-01-24 14:19:21 +0000 UTCThe rating system is so weird in the USA 1,2,3&6 are PG and 4,5,7&8 are PG-13. Even weirder is the UK where Venom is rated at a 15 and Deadpool is also a 15. I honestly think the rating system is just really inconsistent
Matthew
2025-01-24 12:51:23 +0000 UTCThe Weasley Twins got there money to build and develop their shop thanks to Harry giving them his financial winnings from the triwizard tournament in the goblet of fire.
Skkk
2025-01-24 12:13:57 +0000 UTCIf you remember, Voldemort is a purist when it comes to witches/wizards of the wizarding world. He believes in only "pure" blood sorcery... no muggle children in his world! Snape being the Half-Blood Prince is a huge hint as to why he's an amazing double agent. One of his parents is a muggle. He is everything the dark lord is against but managed to infiltrate the Death Eaters and purist ideology. He's very talented, much like Hermione and Lily, as you can tell from his skills with potions. I never read the books but I took on the belief that Snape wanted to teach Defense against the Dark Arts because he knew about such views. Hagrid did say there were very few, if any, "pure blood" wizards anymore. Basically, magic would die out if Voldemort was able to complete his mass genocide mission. I love LOTR and the Hobbit trilogy much more than the HP franchise... and I love the HP franchise. I do feel bad for poor Tom Felton (Draco). His "attractive" years were all during HP. He did not age well. Same with Rupert Grint (Ron). They grew into awkward adults instead of growing out of being awkward teens. It's also really sad knowing most of the older, legendary actors have now passed. It really broke my heart about Dame Maggie Smith and Alan Rickman.
Veronica Lenée
2025-01-24 12:06:21 +0000 UTCGinny's character is so much more well written, bold and interesting in the books. The movies did not do her justice.

2025-01-24 11:52:00 +0000 UTCIVE BEEN WAITING FOR THESE HELL THE FUCK YEAH ALEX
Hector Kalupar
2025-01-24 11:48:27 +0000 UTCAnd in my opinion.........NOOO Harry Potter is way better.....ive fallen asleep countless times while trying to watch LOTR....its shit
Shaun Valladares
2025-01-24 11:29:15 +0000 UTCEvanna Lynch (Luna) got her roll because she happened to be one ultimate fan who wrote to J.K a lot and so she was invited to go and meet and have a private convo with J.K Rowling. She loved Evanna so much she cast her right there on the spot for the roll of Luna
Shaun Valladares
2025-01-24 09:16:45 +0000 UTCAlan Rickman (Snape) was the only one out of the entire cast that actually got his full backstory told to him in secret by J.K Rowling herself long before the final books were even published. It gave him the ultimate power on being able to portray such a complex character and was hands down the best decision ever to do so!
Shaun Valladares
2025-01-24 08:45:31 +0000 UTCI mean it could be because i'm in Australia but 1 & 2 are PG, 3 is PG-13 and the rest are M for us
Shaun Valladares
2025-01-24 08:11:43 +0000 UTCI still can’t believe this is rated PG and not PG-13. Probably the darkest PG ever.
Matthew
2025-01-24 07:42:35 +0000 UTCLOTR is better but I'm quite enjoying these movies for the first time
TheGaming Churro
2025-01-24 06:40:15 +0000 UTCLoTR is timeless! The behind the scenes and making of the films is mind blowing for the time! They used ground breaking technology as well. They had the first photorealistic motion-captured character for a film! They basically invented new technology to make the film work.

2025-01-24 06:24:24 +0000 UTCHey Alex, I was just wondering, are you still planning on doing a reaction to the Superman Trailer?

2025-01-24 04:31:10 +0000 UTCHave you checked on your Harry Potter movies on youtube the video with you saying if vid got 75k/50k likes you'd get the deathly hallows tattooed might need to check think it hit or super close to hitting 50k
Farmer Jayy
2025-01-24 02:06:22 +0000 UTCSo LOTR vs Harry Potter is a hard comparison for me… I’ll say they are my top 2 favorites… but I wouldn’t necessarily compare them to each other cause there are moral similarities but some big differences (also cause the first LOTR was released in 1954 and the first Harry Potter was 1998 in the US - book wise).
DragonQueen
2025-01-24 01:08:08 +0000 UTCBro malfoy didn’t kill the bird😭
Miles Barsness
2025-01-24 00:46:54 +0000 UTCGinny is a total badass! Watch her play quidditch or the enormous power when she casts spells. :)
Chaplain TIG
2025-01-24 00:32:25 +0000 UTCAlex, not even a question: The Lord of the Rings beats any other fantasy book/movie series out of the park. I’m anxiously awaiting for you to watch TLOTR (extended editions, of course).
Edualy
2025-01-24 00:12:42 +0000 UTCGotta defend Ginny, movies did her dirty, they gave her no personality 😤 but book Ginny is tough and cool, there she's out of Harry's league
Therese Jansson Öhman
2025-01-23 23:10:52 +0000 UTCAlex completely forgetting about Voldemorts diary is soo Alex.
Syed Ali Rizwan
2025-01-23 21:37:17 +0000 UTC34:10 well Dumbledore would enjoy that. If it was Grindelwald that is.
Syed Ali Rizwan
2025-01-23 21:20:39 +0000 UTCIt’s kind of a given, but still love in dumbledores death scene when he pleads with snape it’s not to spare him but he’s begging for snape to kill him.
Eben
2025-01-23 20:49:32 +0000 UTCi dont see how or why people compare HP to LOTR, it's 8 movies compared to 3, 6 if you count Hobbit. But HP follows the same 3 protagonists and the location never really changes either, it's not like star wars that has 3 different trilogies following different characters each trilogy. 3 main protagonists, 1 main antagonist, 8 movies, 1 country, 10 years between the 1st and the 8th movie, grossing almost 8 billion. I dont see how HP isn't the GOAT movie franchise all things considered.
Oscar Axelsson
2025-01-23 20:47:52 +0000 UTCI mean LOTR is a different genre. It started the genre of high fantasy and it has so much more thought and world building behind it. I believe Harry Potter does what it's trying to do really nicely.
Syed Ali Rizwan
2025-01-23 20:42:12 +0000 UTCno movie franchise ever could have 8 movies following the same 3 protagonists for 10 years like HP does
Oscar Axelsson
2025-01-23 20:33:57 +0000 UTCMy fav HP movie! Thanks ALEX!

2025-01-23 20:27:14 +0000 UTCnah, it's disrespectful towards lord of the rings to even compare it to harry potter
David Ivaškovič
2025-01-23 20:15:32 +0000 UTC"Is Lord of the Rings better than Harry Potter?"... Yes, yes it is. They are different stories altogether and I like them both, but LOTR is a series I will have on in the background all the time. Same with the Star Wars movies. Not so much with HP.
Culper (Lukas)
2025-01-23 19:01:56 +0000 UTCWhile I enjoy Harry Potter, books and movies, Lord of the Rings is absolutely better

Matthew
2025-01-23 17:00:30 +0000 UTCThey got the funds from Harry. He gave them the money he won for winning the tri wizard tournament. Another thing from the book that wasn’t in the movie 😂
Matthew
2025-01-23 16:59:14 +0000 UTCYes yes yes Let's goooo!! I love the rewatch ❤️

2025-01-23 15:42:49 +0000 UTC"I think harry or voldy is the half blood prince" "maybe its snape" "nah def voldy" that whole talk had me dying a little lol YOU ALMOST REMEMBERED
Heretic
2025-01-23 15:38:28 +0000 UTCSo the Weasley’s actually got the money for the store from harry, in the books he gave the twins 1,000 galleons to kickstart their store <3
Bree_9837
2025-01-23 15:33:47 +0000 UTCRegarding the question of "where did Fred and George get the funds to start the business", it's not mentioned in the movies but in the books Harry gives them the money from his victory at the Tri Wizard tournament from the Goblet of Fire, and they use that to finance their business. Also you said "I guess they could use magic to conjure some money". That is not true, creating money with money is strictly forbidden, which also applies to creating food out of things air and some other things. Also if they wizards could create money then they wouldn't need to own businesses in the first place. Chaos would exist in a world where a group of individuals could just conjure money out of nothing.
Leonidas Raftopoulos
2025-01-23 15:33:45 +0000 UTCInteresting because it's regarded by many as the best of the books and worst of the movies
