Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey, Chicks in the Office listeners. You can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. What's up, everyone? Welcome back to Chicks in Hogwarts, the Harry Potter podcast, where we recap all of the Harry Potter films. We have now reached the sixth film of the franchise Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Glad we're making it here.
Starting point is 00:00:45 You know what, guys? we were on listener, like everyone listening, we were on a roll. We recorded one through five, like, pretty quick. And we all needed a little bit of a break. And we haven't recorded six. We had took it, I think it's probably been like a couple weeks. At least.
Starting point is 00:01:04 It has been. We were supposed to record it. I don't remember recording Order of the Phoenix at all. It was before L.A. Yeah, the last time we recorded Harry Potter. Before L.A. No, that can't be true. That can't be true.
Starting point is 00:01:16 That was like early February. That was, we left like February. Like the show was on the 10th. The show was on the 10th. No, there's no way that's true. There's no way. Yeah, I don't think that can be true. Although I don't remember.
Starting point is 00:01:27 So I, um, I, uh, you know, the only person who knows is Noah. Yeah, that is true. Or, you would have the files. I was thinking my notes, but my notes would be probably the day before we recorded. Yeah. The, also, for some reason, we just didn't give out our scores for the Phoenix. I don't know if we. We were all like fucked up.
Starting point is 00:01:47 What was it? I have no idea. And now I don't know what I would be said. I don't know what I would score it. Yeah, that's tough. I know what I would score just because I, obviously, but. Wait, do you want to score it? I think we should, I mean, how could we score every movie and we're just not going to score Order the Phoenix?
Starting point is 00:02:03 Sure, let's score it. Yeah. I didn't like that one, right? No, I didn't love it. Order the Phoenix is my least favorite besides the last 30 minutes. The last 30 minutes gets a higher score. but the movie as a whole, not my favorite. Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:02:19 The battle with serious. Yes, yes. That's a good part, but the beginning parts I don't love. So for me, the or the Phoenix gets like a six eight. I'm going six, five. I'll go six, three. I was going to go in low sevens, but you made me feel comfortable. Well, because this is a thing.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Because this is a thing. I was looking back and Chamber of Seasons. to me for chamber secrets is a seven for me and um i think i'm i like chamber but more than i like it's actually hurting my brain that we can't remember when we recorded i i'm comfortable saying this was my least favorite so far probably overall yeah i think that's super fair either this or three and i think we definitely did discuss that well that's not fair three is so three is so good okay anyway i'm all scrambled let's talk about this one let's talk about six harry potter and the half-blood prince why don't you go through your notes to
Starting point is 00:03:17 to kick us off. Is that your only page? No, no, no. I have no. These are my other notes. Okay, okay. You know? I got worried for a second.
Starting point is 00:03:24 You only had five bullet points. You know how I have my notes and then I have my other notes. Have you started spelling Hermione right on your sheets? Yes. I have. I think you spelled it right. I did. The last movie I spelled it right.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Yeah. Which is why one through four was all spelled wrong. Five, it's spelled right. Six is spelled right. I want to preface this by saying. And this is just, we're being honest on this podcast. Yeah. Honesty is the best policy.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Honestly is the best. Everyone hyped up this film for me. They're like six is so good. Six. I don't, did I? Like, I like six, but I don't know if I... I think after five at the end of five, you're like, they're going to really start to get good now.
Starting point is 00:03:57 Like, I don't know. I don't know. It doesn't matter at this point. I heard it from other people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Six is so good, whatever. And I tried to watch Six when I was very tired. This was a couple weeks ago and we ended up not recording.
Starting point is 00:04:10 Six is like Kelly Kiggs's favorite. Yes. She was telling me on my desk. I was like, you want to run through Half Blood Prince with me a little bit? before we do the recap. Want to riff off? Yeah. I said you want to like,
Starting point is 00:04:20 let me know what happened because I'm scared of friends to get a quiz me. And she was like, what do you mean? And I was like, no, I watched it, but like, whatever.
Starting point is 00:04:29 That's beside the point. Anyways, tried watching it and I was like falling asleep, but I was tired. It wasn't that I wasn't paying attention to the movie. I was really tired. So tried to watch it once.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Then last night, I was watching, but you know when you're watching something? And here's another thing. I have a terrible attention. span and I think everybody in this room could attested that. We know. It's really bad.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Like, I probably, this is now, once again, going off because of my attention span. When I went to the doctors when I was younger, they gave you the test for the ADHD, I was like, I was going through the quiz with my sister and I was answering things like, I would be like, no, I don't do that. And my sister would be like, no, you do do that. You have to write yes. And I was like, no, I don't. Looking back, I probably should have wrote, yes, I do.
Starting point is 00:05:17 do those things so that maybe I could have been like diagnosed correctly yes whatever besides the point I have a bad attention span so I'm watching last night and it's hard for me to go on my phone and this is why I need to bring the notepad home with my pen it's hard for me to go on my phone and write notes down without ending up on my phone I'm texting people I'm now on Twitter Instagram TikTok and it's a whole thing so then I put my phone down and then I barely took any notes yeah so then today at my desk I ran through it again and I took more notes okay I You know how I know my attention to make it's terrible? It's an extremely long disclaimer.
Starting point is 00:05:50 It was. For my notes, I just don't want people to think I'm lacking on the notes. I'll be scrolling like Etsy. There's definitely not. Etsy? Etsy. Just like scrolling through Etsy, like looking for stuff. You scrolling through Etsy?
Starting point is 00:06:01 Yeah. Just like cool posters. That's how you know. You're just looking for some home decor. I actually love Etsy. I got all of stuff. I've gotten cool stuff on Etsy. So I was going to say that not a lot of notes, but they're a decent amount.
Starting point is 00:06:16 More than I thought there was. Okay. This is cinematic art. I really loved... The beginning? Yeah, I really loved the way it started with the paparazzi and everything. I don't know. I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:06:31 Whatever this newspaper on fire is is definitely just a way for wizards to get high. Newspaper on fire. Three of them are sitting around a new... Like a thing that's like on fire. Oh! Okay, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It looks like Draco finally.
Starting point is 00:06:46 really grew some balls. Did he know? I closed my eyes for one second, and this movie turned into The Exorcist. Yeah. I obviously wanted Ron to be... Okay, here's the thing. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:07:04 I just realized I used the term balls three times and three separate notes. Oh, no. Grow some balls. Has grown some balls. It's way... It's way too many. Or does someone have balls? are not in balls? Not.
Starting point is 00:07:20 I really don't know why. I said, I obviously wanted Ron to be alive, but it would have shown the balls on the filmmakers to kill him off. Yeah. Wouldn't have been the filmmakers, because it's not their story, but yeah. The writers. Whatever, you know don't know. No, I know. It's JK.
Starting point is 00:07:36 The balls on JK to kill him. Yeah. Yes. It was always Hermione. Yep. Lots of horniness in the air this movie. me. Yeah, hormones are flying and they really are. They really are. I'm going to start telling everyone they have
Starting point is 00:07:54 unbreakable vows with me. Because he said that an unbreakable vow is unbreakable. Yeah. You die. It's like a promise. You straight up die if you break it. I'm going to start telling people that. No. I'm going to be like we have an unbreakable vow. Yep. You know what that means. Just leave it at that like a threat. You know what that means. Be scared. Yeah. I'm convinced Ron is high throughout this entire movie. Fair. The whole movie
Starting point is 00:08:18 The kids Googling Yeah, yeah He was like Actually high for a little bit No, he was But legit Poisoned Yeah
Starting point is 00:08:25 And then he was Jinks and then first he was jinks And then he was poisoned Some people can't die And some people can't be brought back From the dead And this has me all confused When did you think that
Starting point is 00:08:41 Do you know Some people can't die Everybody can die No I don't know When their souls he was talking about the soul being split. Oh, well, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:08:52 But that's dark matter. You have to go out of your way to do that. When Harry got Draco that one time, I was like, he looks pretty dead on the ground. And then Snape just comes and like fixes him up. But what was that about? That's like, you can't be die. You can't be die.
Starting point is 00:09:09 You can't die. You can't die. No. Wasn't it younger Dumbledore? So what, what Voldemort? did is through the process of killing people you can split your soul and so like not everyone's going to do that because you
Starting point is 00:09:28 then have to become a murderer. Yeah I'm not saying not everyone's doing it but some people can't die. True or false? If for horror, if they make horrocks is yes but if you kill the if you get rid of the horrocks then yes you can die. But some people can't die is the correct statement. The Avengers where you have to get all the pieces. If they do those things, some people can't die. If you have horrockses, yes.
Starting point is 00:09:55 We're looking too much into the logistics here. My note is correct. Some people can die. You can go through the path to kill someone. It's a whole point of the next two movies is they got to get the horrocks to kill a old man. What if you kill a bad guy and get a horrocks that way? Just kill a bunch of bad guys.
Starting point is 00:10:14 I'm not sure. Mm-hmm. Don't have the answer for that. Anyways, why do I feel bad for Draco right now? He's a little bitch that you do feel bad for him. Yeah, at certain times. Yeah, he's got a bad dad. He grew up in a bad family.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Yeah. Sometimes people can't help him. And his poor mom babies him. He didn't want to, you know, do the thing. Do the thing. Narcissa. No, sister wants to do care of him. He wants to protect him.
Starting point is 00:10:39 He's like, I have to. I really fucking wanted to like Snape, damn it. I did. I thought that Snape had a redemption story to him. I thought he was like secretly a good guy. Maybe he is still. It's a tough turn. No, it's true.
Starting point is 00:10:54 He could be. But is he ever going to be when he kills Dumbledore? Like, do you ever become the good guy after killing the most beloved characters? You have that label forever. Right. He's a legend now, though. He killed Dumbledore. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:08 A legend for the wrong reasons. Yeah. I care more about Dumbledore than I ever thought I was. would. Dumbledore, this movie... I hate some mistakes, this movie. He did. He did. He did. He did. He realized that, like, he does
Starting point is 00:11:27 know what's going on. Like, they're... Because I would say the first few movies, like, four or five, you're like, does Dumbled really have a clue, like, what he's doing? It doesn't really seem like he does. And then everything starts to come together. It's like, oh, he actually he knows, like, Voldemort's plan. And when they were having...
Starting point is 00:11:45 having that conversation and I forget who it was. They were like, Dumbledore trusts Snape. He's always right. And they were like, he's not always right. No, that was funny when Harry, Ron, and Hermione were like, you know, people are starting to say, like he's kind of getting old.
Starting point is 00:12:03 It's like, do you trust this guy? I don't know. Well, because, you know, everyone, everyone's like, is Hogwarts really that safe? And Dumb Dork, he's not there as often as he is because he's hunting the horrocks? and so the castle's left unprotected. Fair enough. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:20 And he's like, Harry gets to know this old weird professor. Yeah, he just like throws horse slughorn at him. Like, befriend. This is your task. Befriend the old potions professor.
Starting point is 00:12:29 At the beginning when Harry Potter was like flirting with that girl. And then Dumbledore. What did Dumbledore say? He's like, oh, like I'm sorry to take you. Yeah, he was like, she was very pretty. Last note.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Yeah, it's like he was like going to go on a date. Sorry, I had to interrupt that. Yeah, like, sorry I had to ruin your date. Last note, last ball usage. Okay. I'm low-key happy Doubendor died to show that this movie has balls. Yeah. Because you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:12:58 Like, such a big character. Massive characters. A massive character has to die at some point. Goes back to Star Wars comparisons. And he has all, like, he has all the information. You know, without him, it makes the trio's job much harder. Yes, it does. And because he really didn't give them too much information.
Starting point is 00:13:17 I think that's why people loved Game of Thrones so much was because they just killed a character off like it was nothing all the time. Like big-ass characters would die in a second and you were like, whoa. Yeah. Anybody could die at any say, they don't care about your feelings. Yeah. They want to rip your heart out. And so I respected them for this.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Although very sad, you respect the filmmaking. What was the spell that he used to kill Dumbledore? It's a death spell. But like what is it? Oh, Avada Godavra. Yeah. You guys want my notes that are not my notes? Sure.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Okay. These are, I don't want these. You don't want these to be included, but these are also thoughts. These are thoughts. Okay. They're out the film. I realize I'm most interested in the potion portion of the films. The potion?
Starting point is 00:13:57 Oh, you like the love potions. I think potions are really cool. Yeah. And when you get... Horace is very good. And Slughorn has all the good potions. And he rewards people with potions. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:14:06 So you want to work hard so you can get a little potion. Get the luck potion. Yeah, exactly. It's why I like it. That's one of my favorite parts of this movie is why. Harry tricks Ron into thinking he gave him the lucky potion. And he like cocky, he like pulls out of his jacket to show Hermione.
Starting point is 00:14:24 He's like, hmm. I didn't actually give it to him. Yeah. She was like, he just thought you did. He's like, yep. What's it called? Now I'm blanking. The potion.
Starting point is 00:14:33 When you think your habit, you're, it's just placebo. Placebo. Yeah. Hermione is a hypocrite because of crumb. Hermione is a hypocrite because of crumb. She got really mad that Ron kissed Lavender. Yeah. Lavender, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:48 And she stormed away, hissy fit. Through birds at him. And yet she went to the whole thing with Crum. Yeah, but she went through, she went to the ball with Crum really more also for, like, Ron to notice. But Ron is kissing lavender for Hermione to notice. Yeah, but I don't know if he needs. No, I don't know if he is yet.
Starting point is 00:15:12 This is awesome. I don't know if he is yet. Things haven't really clicked for him quite yet on boys. They're growing up. Yeah, exactly. Like, Hermione is maturing faster than Ron is. His balls are dropping. What did Ron say?
Starting point is 00:15:24 He was like, yeah, I don't know how long this is going to last, but like, he's basically, I'm just enjoying this. And then all of a sudden he was like, I'm a free agent. It's like these, he says, like, these girls, they're going to kill me. That's my favorite Ron moment. I'm writing that down when he said he was a free agent. Yeah. what does the joke shop even do? It's in,
Starting point is 00:15:47 because something I almost wrote down on my notes was that I wanted to work at the joke shop and be a part of the joke shop. And then it hit me. It's a part of an abandoned. Yeah, because right now the death eaters are targeting everyone. So it's like, that's the only place that's still.
Starting point is 00:16:04 Yeah. Because you see him like, I'm not hating on them, like the joke shop. Yeah, you see them like walk past Allivanders and you know that he got, you saw him get, taken out of his shop too and yeah um...
Starting point is 00:16:17 Aagon Alley does not look like it normally does it's not looking good no and the last thing I wrote was Hogwarts is clearly in trouble can't magic create a new place to keep everyone safe because there's a bunch of secret places that randomly exist so why can't they just create a secret place where I want to go to keep them safe from Hogwarts? Right and another question is it's like in the beginning of the movie
Starting point is 00:16:38 they were kind of like going after muggles right, like in the real world they were kind of messing up the bridge and all that stuff. Why wouldn't, like if Voldemore's really this evil guy, why wouldn't he just like ruin the world? He's like just going to Hogwarts.
Starting point is 00:16:54 And like, I'll wait for the school year to start. We'll be. And like not fuck with them when. We'll be. Well, the history behind. Yeah, and he's also not, like he wants to be the most powerful wizard in the world, which means Dumbledore can't exist.
Starting point is 00:17:10 No, I know. And he's after thinking. that Dumbledore has. Yeah. Like his goal isn't, his goal isn't to, like, destroy the world. Oh, so maybe I like Voldemort.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Like, his goal isn't to destroy the world. He just wants to, like, rule the world. He just wants to be the most powerful wizard. He wants to be the most powerful wizard of all time, and he'll do whatever it takes to get there, i.e. kill people and whatnot. So now he's not his,
Starting point is 00:17:35 I don't think his end game is to, like, wipe out people. Yeah. So now Dumbledore is dead. Does that make? Voldemort the most powerful wizard in the world now? Sure does. I feel like he's always been the most powerful. I think he already was, right?
Starting point is 00:17:48 Yeah. He's more powerful than Dumbledore. They argue that Dumbledore was more. Maybe in his heyday. Yeah. Yeah. There's also other, there's also other wizards involved in the past that I'm not going to get into because I don't feel like explaining that too. Voldemore looks like he doesn't age a day.
Starting point is 00:18:08 No, that's probably the snake's skin. Yeah, drop that skin care. That they Yeah That's probably what happens After you split your soul So many times Good for him
Starting point is 00:18:21 You get a nice You get a nice Pale complexion Imagine he's just like Put a moisturizer on it They all This movie We can get through
Starting point is 00:18:32 A little synopsis here We'll go through it But first Let's talk about Corslight We only have a couple movies left to watch Which means we really need to take some time
Starting point is 00:18:44 to relax. Ria, this is what you need to do. Maybe you need a you got to switch your phone out for a Korslight. You need something in your hands. A Korslight and a notebook. Yeah. A Korslight and a notepad. Can't do a phone in a Korslight or the phone in the nopad. Korslight
Starting point is 00:19:00 and the no pad. Knotes light on my lap. A pen in my right hand. Exactly. And that is the best way to relax, take it all in, have a moment for yourself. Because right now, there's a lot going on you got to take care of yourself and sometimes you just need a moment to unwind when you do that you can reach
Starting point is 00:19:18 for a beer that's made to chill that's Coors light it's cold loggered called filtered cold packaged it's literally made to chill it's as crisp and refreshing as the Colorado Rockies perfect for a moment to unwind so when we want to take that night whatever
Starting point is 00:19:33 weekday night whatever it is or the weekend you can always you can always gauge you can have a nice night with Harry Potter nice Corse or you could be at the bar on a Saturday and maybe you have a few Korslights. I'll leave it at that. But, you know, drink responsibly. Coorslight is the
Starting point is 00:19:50 one we choose when we need to unwind. So when you want to hit reset, reach for the beer that's made to chill. Get Korslight in the new look delivered straight to your door with drizzly or Instacart by going to Koreslight.com slash chicks. That's Korslight.com slash chicks. And always drink responsibly. This is coming from
Starting point is 00:20:06 the Kores brewing company in Golden, Colorado. When this movie starts and you realize like they're all going back to Hogwarts and his dangerous and they're all on. They're like, what's going on with Draco? Because you see the unbreakable vow that they, Snape takes and like, oh, he's got to do something bad. We don't know what it is to protect Draco. And Draco just starts coming to school like in a black suit. Like he's just like, he's on the train in this outfit. You're like, why the fuck are you wearing that? Like you're not, he's lost. Like trying to be, like you're kind of a death eater, but not,
Starting point is 00:20:39 like you don't want to be, but you're being forced to be. And I, I, I, I have to mention because I'd be like when this movie came out, there was an addition of a character that you guys probably don't even remember. But it's, um, he's in like Draco's crew. Is this kid Blaze? No. And my friend Claire and I, like, we were obsessed with Blaze. Like, Blaze was so hot.
Starting point is 00:21:02 We were like, why did they just throw this guy in this movie? But we were like, so we, he, he's like in the slug. I don't know, was he in the slug club or not? but he's on the train with them when they're kind of like talking to this guy Blaise Zabini and we're all like damn okay Blaze we see you
Starting point is 00:21:23 and he's now he kind of jumps in to replace crab in the later films after that actor got into that trouble like we talked about so Blaze like kind of you guys were pumped about Blaz and also the name Blaze is sick yeah now I guess would be spoiling future films by me asking this question.
Starting point is 00:21:46 I'll tell you if I'll answer or not. Is it wrong of me to think that Harry and Draco are going to team up at some point? No, it's not wrong. It's not wrong to think that. And I don't think that really spoils anything. Because I think Draco is a lost boy. I think he's a bad family and he's going to realize, hey, Harry's got it more than I do. You could tell at the very end when they're like walking in the field or whatever, he's like lost.
Starting point is 00:22:11 he's a lot of guilt I think he can tell like a little pussy bitch Yeah and he just got to give it up He doesn't know where to go Harry's better Harry's the chosen one Yeah Draco is not
Starting point is 00:22:22 Does he want to go and be evil With the rest of his family Or does he want to be good? The question The ultimate question Voldemort's gonna kill me Do you choose good or evil? What?
Starting point is 00:22:32 Like he was only doing it When it was him versus Dumbledore He's like I have to do this Because Voldemois Yeah so he was going to kill him So it's like, yeah, if Voldemore was going to kill me, I might have to kill Dumbledore. Sorry, but I want to stay alive.
Starting point is 00:22:47 But he still didn't kill Dumbled Dumbled. No, and that shows you maybe he's good. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Murdering somebody is really hard. Would you? That's correct. It takes a- Murder, Fran.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Never. Never. Save your own life. No. Beautiful. I would die. I think I would, too. I don't.
Starting point is 00:23:09 I know I would say if no no I mean that somebody said gun to your head right now you murder Fran or I'm going to shoot you I said I say shoot me wow I think I'd rather because why would I want to be alive after I kill her right I think I'd rather I'd rather be dead than to live with the guilt of killing your best friend exactly and we're all going to die anyway so it's like oh am I going to stay alive for however long I'm going to be alive and just live like Harry's parents can I say something crazy now that we're on this topic and And yeah, it's the ultimate sacrifice. The ultimate sacrifice, but it has nothing to do with Harry Potter, but it brings up a good discussion. Do you guys remember the Columbine shooting? Yes. This is more of a serious topic, but whatever that. I don't remember it at. No, not what it was happening.
Starting point is 00:23:55 But do you remember in middle school, Rachel's Challenge? Rachel Scott, her name was this thing was called Rachel's Challenge. And I don't think so. So in our school, we had to go. go to a, like, they put on this assembly about Rachel's challenge, and it was this whole thing, and she was a very religious person who ended up, she was the first person shot in the Columbine shooting. The story they told us all, which turned out to not be true, I did a lot of research on it
Starting point is 00:24:28 last night because for some reason I popped up on my TikTok and I was like, weird memory that brought back. Yeah. The story they would tell us all out of Catholic school was that they at, this is nuts, they asked her if she believed in God and she said yes and they shot her yeah and that was the story they told us yeah and that didn't happen so what were they trying to do like if they were like you're like you're like you could be a martyr like they like isn't that kind of like nuts and this some catholic propaganda yes and it's crazy because obviously they have this like foundation which is great and
Starting point is 00:24:59 obviously very serious school shootings but then you're you're going around telling this story right at catholic schools to scare all of us into thinking if somebody asks us If we believe in God or not, you got to say yes, and if you die, you die. Right. Yeah. I didn't want to compare. That's to go around and say, like, to tell all the kids, like, to say, like, if something, you, you know, you go to heaven. Yes, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Yeah. Isn't that kind of knows. I feel like, yeah. I feel like, yeah. So don't, say you don't believe in God if something like that happens. Well, when you're, uh, save your life. Yeah, but when you're in middle school and you're going to Catholic school in all life, you know nothing. You know nothing else.
Starting point is 00:25:35 The nuns are certainly not going to be teaching you something else. Yeah. that's all I knew was to be like, oh, okay, yes, and then that happens. But that's just not, I was just looking for the story all last night. I was like, where's this story? And then all these things that I saw on TikTok, they were like, it turns out that just was a made up thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Draco definitely on the train. Like, I didn't want to compare it because it's like serious. But he was given off like school shooter vibes. Like stay away from that kid. He, because he knew he had some bad, bad stuff. that he was supposed to do. They do get Professor Slughorn to agree to be the new potions teacher, and that meant that Snape now finally got to be the defense against the dark arts teacher.
Starting point is 00:26:22 He's the job he's always wanted. He has a guy, and he gets that job. Slughorn is potions. Dumbledore tells Harry, like, you got to befriend this guy. We need some info from him because Dumbledore is, like, little by little, giving Harry more information. He sees the memory of Tom Riddle and the orphan. and the memory of Tom Roodle asking Professor Slughorn about the whore cruxes and the tampered memory that he initially shows him.
Starting point is 00:26:47 He's like, you got to get the real memory. And he also, Harry finds that the half blood prince potions book in the closet. And it has all the tips, all the tricks. He's first in the class. They don't know who it is. You find out at the end that Snape is the half blood prince. He had Snape's book. And that's also how Snape knew how to save Draco in that scenario,
Starting point is 00:27:16 because Harry used one of Snape's own spells on. Oh, and then he said that at the end, remember? He's like, you think you can use her own spells against me. Yeah. Because he, Septim Semperra, Septim Sempra, he says to Draco, where he starts to bleed out everywhere. And that's, that's, he was reading it from Snape's book. So is Snape technically the most powerful wizard?
Starting point is 00:27:37 No. No. Okay. But I liked when Snape was like Dumbledore, I've tricked like the smartest wizard and like he was given Dumbledore his props. Because he has, yeah, Snape has more information than other people. Snape has up to this point, been able to play both sides perfectly. But isn't this a bad look for Dumbledore? Like maybe he wasn't that good. If he was fooled by this guy for this long, like had no idea. Come on, Dumbledore. I got to say,
Starting point is 00:28:10 not to give anything away, but I got to say, talking about this movie and is much harder than I thought it was going to be. You don't want to give anything away. Yeah, yeah, like, it's actually, but I've, I've, like, bit my tongue 12 times.
Starting point is 00:28:25 I didn't realize actually that this is way harder than I thought it was. I am now that we're at the end, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's like, tell me what the fuck happens with all of them, because, oh my God. Like, yeah. This guy, like, how does it
Starting point is 00:28:37 Do not tell me it ends with Voldemore dying. Like, don't, like, I don't spoil anything, but also don't tell me that. Wait, you don't want Voldemort to die? I want him to die, but in a way where it's like something else happens, where it's like, if this whole time just leads up to Harry, then defeating, defeating Voldemore, it's like, yeah, no shit. We knew that was going to happen. I would predict.
Starting point is 00:28:58 I actually don't know. But, like, what if Harry's fighting Voldemore, like, this big fight, and then Snape, like, comes in and like just picks Harry's side and like yeah I just think if Voldemort's gonna die it has to be in a way that's like whoa like I can't believe he died that way because if it's just like Harry defeats Voldemort it's like well I could have told you that was going to happen the second Voldemort showed up and Harry kept winning at the end of every single movie but I guess by the way this is looking Harry's gonna win at the end like this and I and it sounds like I'm rooting against Harry, it's more so just like,
Starting point is 00:29:34 are these the most predictable movies of all time is what I'm wondering at the end of this. I think that's a fair question, but you also have to think that like, these are quote unquote children's books sort of like young adult. You know what I'm saying? I know what you're saying? You know what I'm saying? Like, there was never
Starting point is 00:29:52 even when you were reading the books, like it never was like Voldemort's going to win. You know? If that makes sense. I'm not saying that that, I'm not saying shit like shit goes down in the last two movies right vote more
Starting point is 00:30:06 but like this is kind of the first movie where at the end they don't it's not all like good no at the end they're like no at the end actually they say we're never coming back here they don't go back to Hogwarts because at the end of that's it I mean they go back to Hogwarts for certain things but like they don't go back to
Starting point is 00:30:23 they don't change the title of this they don't I know we had to change it um they don't go back to school like at the end when they're like, oh, I don't have time for class anymore. Like we're on the top. Listen, we're wizards. What do we need? When it's the double door just got
Starting point is 00:30:38 killed, we can't be on a class. And Harry's like, I'm not coming back. I've got to find these horrocks now. And Hermione's like, you really think you can do that on your own? Like, you're dumb. You need us. Yes. So they all agree. Ron, you haven't really done anything. Yeah. But as far as romance goes, there is a lot in this movie. Harry and Ginny
Starting point is 00:30:59 starts to form. Ron very much is involved with lavender. They're making out everywhere. There's love potions that is supposed to go to Harry, but instead Ron has and lavender gets all heartbroken and Hermione is heartbroken. And you hear Ron like when he's coming out of the potion, he says, Hermione.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Lavender goes running out. When I wrote down it was always Hermione. It was always Hermione. That's got to be. Doubledore has a great mind. Maybe one of the worst feelings ever for lavender. Yeah. Think about if you were in that situation.
Starting point is 00:31:38 You were bedside, hospital bedside, someone you were in a relationship with, and all of a sudden they open up and they start muttering someone else's name. I don't know if I'd ever come back from that. Oh, I don't think I think that's over. Yeah, no, no, the relationship's over for sure. I may never date again.
Starting point is 00:31:58 There will ever go. So this, there's one, God, I forget what Dumbledore says in that moment, but it always, it always gets me. At the end? No, not the end. At the, when Lavender goes running out of the hospital wing after Ron says Hermitius name and he's like, oh, they didn't love such a, like, I forget what he says. Like, something about heart's breaking or teenage little. I forget what the fuck it is. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Something like that. Oh, to be young and in love. Yeah. Feel the bite of something. Shit, what the fuck is it? I don't look it up. Oh, to be young. It's like Dumbledore.
Starting point is 00:32:43 How old is Dumbledore? Oh, feel love. Oh. Oh, boy. Is that stupid? You want to really feel dumb? Oh, to be young and feel love's keen sting. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:54 That's, it's Shakespeare. Oh. Dumbledore's Quarton Shakespeare? I guess. Or maybe not. He was probably alive with Shakespeare. Spear. Oh, to be young and feel loves Keensting.
Starting point is 00:33:06 I feel like Dumbledo really dropped the ball this movie. Like, and he died. He died and he like was wrong. We're really, we're really piling on a dead man. He's like, trust me, Harry, trust me. And Harry trusted. I knew the whole movie. I'm like, you shouldn't be trusted. You knew the whole movie? No, I didn't know. I can just tell him.
Starting point is 00:33:22 You had a gut feeling. He's like, really? Like, I shouldn't do anything. Like, trust Snape? Maybe it's not. Maybe it's not as bad. It's because when I started to type O to be young and feel into Google The first thing was Oda be young and feel Love Keen Sting Shakespeare Was the like the second Google thing to show up
Starting point is 00:33:42 But Snape like even if you think he's good Not just looks wise and everything Not the most like trustworthy looking guy Like if I just met Snape I wouldn't be like Oh yeah Yeah I should just fully believe everything this guy says Yeah and also he's tried to fuck with Harry before
Starting point is 00:34:00 Yeah So of course Harry would be concerned in trusting him. But it's like everyone's like, oh, Dumbledore's right about everything. You're right. Down with Dumbledore. Yeah, like he kind of deserved to die. Like, I didn't want him to die, but like he made like a bunch of wrong moves. People hate our takes on these movies.
Starting point is 00:34:18 We're watching in a different. But like he got. Now, let me pose a question to you guys. What if Dumbledore needed to die and he knew it himself? I don't think so because he, at the, What did he say to Snape? No, the fact you said I don't think so right away And Fran asked us that question
Starting point is 00:34:34 Means that she knows something that we don't know And I'm also trying to help you guys And I'm gonna say You know what, Fran? Then Doubledore? No, that's like good on Dumbledore Like looking back Oh, he meant to die
Starting point is 00:34:46 Like he's still the greatest There's more, I'm looking forward to I'm looking forward to replay When Noah is saying When he finds out what actually happens I know something Well, don't say it because I don't want to But also like what did he say
Starting point is 00:35:00 He didn't, he was still trying to have Stapen not kill him. He was like, you don't, like, don't do this. Please don't do this. Let me ask you a question. What if Snape was always meant to kill Dumbledore? What if Snape knew that he had to kill Dumbledore to eventually bring down, what if Snape knew that he always had to kill Dumbledore, and Dumbledore knew that he was always going to have to be killed by Snape?
Starting point is 00:35:26 And he said, And Snape knew the only way to take down Voldemore is to take down Dumbledore. And Snape's a good guy Yes, I still think I like Snape You just said you're not backtracking No no, I'm not You said he's untrustworthy
Starting point is 00:35:44 I said that I still want to believe Snape's a good guy No, I like Snape But I don't think he's trustworthy at all What is that? What song is playing on your phone right? 11 Memories by OAR just started playing Leto
Starting point is 00:35:57 I'm gonna get us taken down Oh, I'm sorry It's two seconds. I don't know why they just started Of all songs just started to play. Love and memories Makes me if she's the man. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:09 All right, we can't, look, this is what I was saying before. We're going to finish talking about the movie because this is, this is going to also get tedious for those
Starting point is 00:36:17 watching or listening. That, it's, we're going in circles. Because we can, I can't reveal, you can't guess, because you don't know,
Starting point is 00:36:28 so we're just, Okay, yeah You know? Okay, so We have the whole Everything with the potions Everything with the Ron makes the Quidditch team
Starting point is 00:36:42 Which is very, you know Hermione Jigs helps him out But And then Harry's the captain And then there's the You're not gonna make the team Just because you were on the team last year There's the
Starting point is 00:36:51 Um What's his? McCormack McCormick McCormack Oh it's hidden on Harry The blonde guy that always was always flirting with Hermione that was also trying to what is he he had such a corny line to Ron being like trying to get
Starting point is 00:37:06 yeah Freddie's yeah yeah yeah Cormack Cormack McCormack McCormack McCormack I wouldn't mind to get to know your friend yeah yeah yeah yeah Cormac McLaghan McLegan um he he that guy he is also another great um like who's my dad kind of guy
Starting point is 00:37:28 You know my father is Yeah like he's like He comes from a family that's known for being like High up in the ministry Winkle boss Yeah which is why he gets an automatic bid into the slug club Thoughts on the slug club Of him of just Horace
Starting point is 00:37:44 Picking his favorite students to get to go to all the fancy events If I was in it it would be sick If I was not in it I would hate it Yeah Any thoughts on the slug club If I'm just being honest You don't even know what I'm talking about I wanted to put him on the spot.
Starting point is 00:38:03 I was like, I'm going to need an answer because I know he doesn't know what I'm talking about. Do you not know either? No, I do. I think it's funny that like, anytime I look over, I see Noah just like nodding his head. I'm like, he doesn't know what I'm talking about. No one and I said to each other that we were scared you were going to call on us. I know. For this movie.
Starting point is 00:38:24 I wanted to do it on purpose. That was a, that was going to be my moment. That was a big teacher move. Yeah, that was. I saw it on his face that he didn't know. Yeah, because I had nothing to say. It's like the classic teacher when the kid is like looking up in the air. Does anyone know the answer?
Starting point is 00:38:37 And they're like, don't know it. Wait, why am I not remembering the Slug Club? The Slug Club is the group of students that Professor Slughorn gathers for like special events. Like that's where they have that. She just said what it was. I know. The Christmas party. There's like the holiday party where.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Hermione was talking about like maybe invited. run but they're like getting all sassy with each other so she invites kormack and then she hides behind the curtain no anything a little bit not really Hermione's hermine Harry's crushing on Ginny but Ginny's dating Dean Thomas at the beginning lots of romance going on lots of whortiness at Christmas they go to to the borough when Belatrix shows up they burn down the burrow her and Ginny like runs after him a whole big moment you don't like Jenny no Belatrix oh yeah Belich fucking sucks. She's just annoying. She's the worst. She's an annoying bitch. Yeah, she is evil. Yeah. She almost to the core, I think, is the most evil. That's what I'm, that's why she annoys me the most.
Starting point is 00:39:42 Because I don't think there's any layers to her. Right. I'm not interested in her story because I think she's just an evil bitch. I think there's nothing to her besides her being evil. On the side of darkness, right? If you're on that side, like they try to rationalize why they are killing people for like a great. She just fucking kills people. But she likes to kill people. She's like, ha, ha, ha, ha, like running away. And it's like when they talk about bullies, right, in school. The bully, there's always a reason why the bully is bullying. Yeah. There's no reason.
Starting point is 00:40:12 She's just evil. Yeah. Yeah, she is. No, she absolutely is. And then when we finally actually get to see the real memory of the horrocks and what it is, and Dumbledore takes Harry to go try and retrieve this locket, it's all very dramatic. They're like in this cliff, and they got to fight these really, scary looking. I don't even know what they are. Creatures that are all under protection
Starting point is 00:40:35 to get this locket and they finally are able to get it after Dumbledore says like you have to do whatever I say no matter what. If I die I die, you got to keep going. He take, they take the locket. They go back. That's when Draco appears to kill Dumbledore. Dumbledore tells Harry like you got to stay down there. Don't come up. Don't do anything. And that moment happens. Dumbledore goes down. It's very sad. And like Snape, when he was like under the floorboards and he, like, he made Harry think he he was like going to help. Yeah. That was. Yep. He was like, they thought like he was going to come save the moment. But yeah, they all go, you know, they go outside. They raise their wands. They get
Starting point is 00:41:17 rid of the dark mark that's in the sky. And then when they're talking, they realize that the actual locket that they have is fake. That's somebody else who signed it RAB, um, stole the initial horrocks with the intent to get rid of it and put that fake one there so that Voldemort didn't think it was gone and that is when they say we're not coming back to school because we got a mission they're on a mission to find all the whore cruxes now in order to take down Voldemort so did his body just hit the ground when he fell off the thing probably yeah damn yeah sick Yeah, those are one. That's like a
Starting point is 00:42:01 Noah's logistical questions cracked me up because I'm like, anytime you're talking about a movie, it's a movie. Well, when he got, when they killed Sirius Black, he just like, like disappeared into the air. But Dumbledore was just like falling.
Starting point is 00:42:18 Yeah. You want to know if there was like a funeral or what happened after. Like who picked him up? Yeah, he cleaned it up. Sirius also was like in front of that. Do they have funeral? and Hogwarts
Starting point is 00:42:29 I do not know the answer to that Dumbledore, great guy, anytime I needed him Yeah, so that's, you know, that was the end for Dumbledore And there's not, that kind of really wraps it up there Let's do Let's do characters You want to, in order of
Starting point is 00:42:51 Interest or likeability, whatever you want to do it The last one you did, fifth movie your last list was Voldemort, Dumbledore, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Snape, Lucius, Beltricks. Snape is number one now. Yeah. Harry.
Starting point is 00:43:13 Mm-hmm. No, no. Okay. Harry, Voldemort. Mm-hmm. I'm really just interested in the big three. What about Drakego? Draco, yes.
Starting point is 00:43:26 I'll put him after. Draco gets to go on the list now. He was taken off. Yeah, yeah. He was taken off the list. He's now back on. Yeah. And then Ron and Hermione,
Starting point is 00:43:35 like, they're just like, you know. Are there any interest in Ron and Hermione? Not like their, at this point. The relationship. The romantic possibility. I would love to say, yes, but not really. Yeah. I'm more focused on the big guy.
Starting point is 00:43:47 If they start dating, like, it'll be nice for them, but it doesn't really mean, like, doesn't affect anything. Yeah. No witch off my back. Super fair. They're just going to be, like, Harry's going to be trying to save the world, basically, and they're just going to, like, fall in the world. Right. It's like, all right.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Enough of, you know. Focus on the task of hand. So we're going, Snape, Harry, Voldemore, Draco. Yes. everybody else whatever it's just whatever it's not that I'm not interested
Starting point is 00:44:11 Belgics I hate I just don't like her and I have no interest in her yeah and Ron and Hermione are complete side characters like they couldn't be
Starting point is 00:44:21 any more side characters do we think there's any chance Dumbledore comes back or is that not I can't answer that I can't answer that no I'm asking
Starting point is 00:44:30 I can't answer that no I don't think so either favorite moments, least favorite moments Is there anything you want to highlight? Favorite character moments, big three character moments? Favorite Ron moment was when he said he was a free agent.
Starting point is 00:44:47 My favorite Harry moment was when he was trying to tell Dumbledore that he's the chosen one and that he can say Voldemort's name. Because Dumbledore is acting like he can't even mutter of Voldemort's name and Harry's like, I'm not afraid to say it. Yeah. Good for you. And Hermione. Not much for her this one. Not much. She's sad this one.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Ron. This is fucking. I can't say that. there's a favor of Hermione movement when she's just sad the whole time. Yeah, fair. Until she helps Ron. For me, I go
Starting point is 00:45:18 Ron when he takes the love potion and gets mad at Harry and they're like trying to figure out what's going on. And my hairy moment is really like so insignificant compared to like what he's doing in this movie. But it was just something that my friends and I
Starting point is 00:45:38 would always do back and forth when he takes, when he actually takes a lot. potion to go and get the memory from Slughorn. And he's like, I got to, and he's like talking with that voice. He's like, I don't just have a good feeling. I got to go to Hagrid's. And they're like, why are you going to Hagrid's?
Starting point is 00:45:53 Like that's the wrong way. Like, I got to go to Haggreens. He runs into Slughorn. And he's like, all right, have a nice night. Like walks away. And Slughorn turns him and goes, Harry. And he turns around and goes, sir. For some reason, that's my, like, where was Hagrid?
Starting point is 00:46:10 action. Harry, sir. Am I blanking on what happened to Haggard? No, he's there. Remember they walk in that moment they walk. He really didn't have a big... Farewell, Aragog. Yeah. He says a few words. You start scaring me when you start... About the big spider. Reenacting the films. Like, I'm not going to lie.
Starting point is 00:46:28 Erdog dies. Hagrid's very sad. That's like kind of the only time he's in this whole movie is when Aragog dies. That's my... That just the Harry Sir gets me every time. And Hermione is the birds. Because I just think, like, classic teenage girl to be able to, like, sick some birds on the guy who's breaking your heart.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Yeah. And there's some sweet, there's some very sweet Hermione, hairy moments in this movie where he's, like, torn because it's his two best friends. But he comforts her and he's like, Ron's an idiot. So. And Harry and Ginny do share their big kiss. We didn't talk about that. No, we didn't.
Starting point is 00:47:16 In the rumor requirements. Nice, Harry getting those kisses in. Yeah. Another very PG kiss. What they always did with these movies, which I laugh at and, like, kind of respect, there's never really besides, like, well, I guess the Ron and Lavender makeouts were pretty intense. But, like, Harry really doesn't have a single, like, hardcore makeout moment. They're very, very. Listen, right to the point. Kisses on the lips.
Starting point is 00:47:42 And doesn't really, there's no tongue action. It's just pretty boring. He's focused on being a wizard. That's where his pizzagos doesn't do. He's got a lot in his mind. He can't worry about his makeout game. He can't be worried about his makeout game. He's out of his mouth.
Starting point is 00:47:56 Saddrich's dead. Serious is dead. Dumbledore's dead. Yep. Yeah. That's the truth. Noah, favorite character moments? I don't know about like character moments.
Starting point is 00:48:05 I thought actually the seeing young Voldemortemort was cool. I like that. You know, I'll see his, like, origin story. That was cool. Uh, I mean, the ending was very, like, I got chills. It was, like, very dramatic ending. Very dramatic. I don't know about, like, specific, I can't think of, like, specific moments.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Okay. And let's give this one a score since we forgot to do it for the last one. Can you tell me what I scored all the other movies? Sure I can. I just need to know what I scored for. I can't, I actually can't tell you what, I forgot to write down what the, um, Sorcerer Stone, so I don't have that one, but I'm pretty sure those were for everyone like low sevens, I think.
Starting point is 00:48:46 I think. I think so. Chamber of Secrets. Ria, you went 7-6, Noah 7-3, mine was a 7. Prisoner Vazcaban, Ria went 8.3, Noah went 7.7, Fran went 8.3. Gobble to fire, Ria went 8.4. Noah went 8.5. Fran went 8.7.
Starting point is 00:49:04 Or the Phoenix, Fran 6.8. Ria 6.5, Noah 6.3. I'm going to give this one a 6.7. Wow. Low. Low. Noah? I'll give this one in 8, too.
Starting point is 00:49:24 Ooh. I like a little diversity in the scoring here. It was really hard for me to get through this one. I don't know why. Yeah, I don't know why either. For me, this is, this one falls at like a 7, 8. Really? My is extremely low then.
Starting point is 00:49:43 After 4. Oh. I will say. say I can't I can't lie about how I feel that was how you felt I'm not going to change the score now rewatching made me like rewatching again and like actually really critically thinking about each movie my order the phoenix feelings still kind of stay the same and half blood prints might have gone up a little bit just because I was watching it watching it back again and like really thinking about it I was like this is a good movie yeah I would probably have to give it another proper rewatch
Starting point is 00:50:15 Yeah. Okay, so we're going to take a break after this one. There's going to be a one week gap in between. And then we're coming back for part one and part two. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. The end begins. That's what the movie poster said. Remember what I said? Just leave it at that.
