The Reel Rejects - HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE REVIEW – “YOU’RE A WIZARD, HARRY”… THIS WAS MAGIC

Starting point is 00:00:00 When you let arrow truffle bubbles melt, everything takes on a creamy, delicious, chocolatey glow. Like that pile of laundry. You didn't forget to fold it. No, it's a new trend. Rinkled chic. Feel the arrow bubbles melt. It's mind bubbling.

Starting point is 00:00:15 Local news is in decline across Canada, and this is bad news for all of us. With less local news, noise, rumors, and misinformation fill the void. And it gets harder to separate truth from fiction. That's why CBC News is putting more. journalists in more places across Canada, reporting on the ground from where you live, telling the stories that matter to all of us. Because local news is big news. Choose news, not noise. CBC News. Amazon presents Laura versus fruit flies.

Starting point is 00:00:50 Swarming your fruit and terrorizing your kitchen. These little freaks multiply at a rate that would make a rabbit say yo. Chill. But Laura shopped on Amazon and saved on cleaning spray, countertop wipes, and fly traps. Hey, fruit flies. Your baby boom ends here. Save the everyday with Amazon. Thank you to Hewell for sponsoring this video. More on them in just a bit. Other than the Harry Potter reactions, here we are right now.

We will get to Patreon questions because that is how we do our reviews here based on what you guys want to hear. However, before we get to the Patreon questions, I just have to start by saying this is LJ's first Harry Potter experience. So hit me. How did that go for you?

Starting point is 00:03:12 It makes sense. Everything makes sense. It's such a rich world. So it was entertaining for sure. I understand why it was so famous among kids because there are these rich themes of like bravery and friendship and like the trio that we follow. fun, loving, but also cool, complex relationships,

Starting point is 00:03:35 which is really cool. But yeah, I enjoyed it. Yeah, the magic didn't bother me. I know I think when I was younger. You said, I hate it? I don't hate that. I don't want to. No, I'm not saying that.

Starting point is 00:03:49 I just, that, I guess the interest wasn't there when I was younger. But so I lean more towards, and as an adult now, like lean towards the appreciation of the storytelling. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:04:00 cool kind of I didn't know about the what's it called like a plot twist of Snape being depicted as a bad guy but he really isn't I like that

Starting point is 00:04:11 that was really cool otherwise yeah the talent in this movie really well directed by Christopher Columbus and enjoyable movie I'm looking forward to the sequels and stuff

Starting point is 00:04:23 but also I really want to go to Universal Studios I actually want to go through now we got to do a real reject trip there yeah This played really well for me upon second watch.

Starting point is 00:04:33 I didn't remember a lot of it. I did kind of like as we were going, I was like, I feel like they set me up with this Snape thing before. And there was like a couple things, but honestly, I don't know where this goes from here because the chest thing in my mind

Starting point is 00:04:48 was the last thing I ever remembered. Oh, interesting. And it was only because I saw it on... The TikTok thing? Yeah, and because two of my besties always are quoting, if I make my move, whatever it is. Sure.

Starting point is 00:05:01 But I really, I don't know where we go from here, and I'm really curious to find out. There's a ton of questions coming in for the Patreon, so let's just jump right into it. Here we go. J. Dell. If you found out you were a wizard, like Array, do you think you'd be more excited to explore Hogwarts or more overwhelmed by suddenly discovering a whole hidden world

Starting point is 00:05:18 and you knew nothing about? A and B? Yeah, it would be both. But I think I'd be more excited to explore than oh yeah of course it's overwhelming but like in the best possible way especially when you're coming from a crap household like that you'd be like thank goodness anything would feel like heaven from there i agree just mainly because uh if i have like powers that's the closest thing to superhero like or superhuman like uh abilities so yeah i i wouldn't be i mean i'd be overwhelmed

Starting point is 00:05:50 i think in the beginning and get used to it and then from there just explore and learn and all that stuff so yeah let's get into nicky stone risa Nicky Stornaraisa, thank you for your support. Hey, LJ and Roxy. I hope you enjoyed the movie. Question, is there any aspect of the wizarding world that you're excited to learn more about? I thought it was quidditch and then we were watching it. You didn't feel it.

Starting point is 00:06:11 Holy shit. It's not that I wasn't feeling it. It was so cool, but it genuinely made me feel sick, sick. Like, I didn't feel like, oh, I don't feel. I was like, oh, I'm my vomit. Fair. I needed to stop and I was, like, really hurting for a second. Makes sense.

Starting point is 00:06:24 But I do kind of want to learn a little bit more about that. And then I definitely think more about the houses, which I only really know about because of, like, doing the sorting quiz online and reading about them. But I don't remember, like, I can't name a Ravenclaw. I can't name a Hufflepuff. I've only read about them. So I'm curious about that.

Starting point is 00:06:43 How about you? Any aspect of the wizarding world? I guess more spells and what the rules of the story is, I think, because, like, yeah, like, certain spells or certain usage of wands and other things. Like the cloak of invisibility. Are there more things like that? I want to know.

Starting point is 00:07:03 Totally. I'm curious about that. I don't remember at all. Okay. Good to know. It was cool to see how little I remembered, but the characters held up the same. Makes sense.

Starting point is 00:07:12 Mike Joyce, if you had to have someone live on the back of your head like Baltimore, who would you want it to be? What? Tara. Oh, fair. She eject one brain. That's hilarious.

Starting point is 00:07:26 No, I actually think that Tara and I would kill each other if we did that. We would both be like, ah-ha. Sure. We're both too loud for that. We would need to be somebody quiet. Okay. Someone, I don't know. I wouldn't want that if I had to.

Starting point is 00:07:41 Somebody very quiet. Sure. I would want someone to whisper, like, confidence into my ear. It has to be somebody here. Oh. They didn't say that. I'm just making that up. Sure.

Starting point is 00:07:54 I feel like the answer is Big John. Sure. He's so cool. Yeah. I probably would lean towards either, yeah, Humphrey or Greg. Because Greg and I have known each other for a long time. And, like, he knows how to talk to me because we grew up in a... We didn't grow up, but, like, we worked together.

Starting point is 00:08:17 So, like, he and I have the same sentiments about self-help and person development stuff. So I think he would whisper, like, philosophical... Positive things? Yes, exactly. Aaron would be cool too Oh yeah sure Because he like We have such different knowledge bases

Starting point is 00:08:30 So I'd be interested His thoughts on different things Throughout the day Okay Jane Rhodes Well rejects When do you usually realize You forgot to eat For me lately it's like

Starting point is 00:08:40 I look up It's halfway through the day I've been at the office Editing reacting Preping for shows and movies Talking meeting Business And I just have not ate

Starting point is 00:08:50 And right now Nutrition has become very important For me again Because I'm currently training to do a Spartan race, running more, trying to build my endurance up. So I need not just caffeine and vibes. I need actual nutrition. And that's where Huell has been a daily go-to for me for like well over a year now. It helped me a ton when I was cutting last year when I made a big deal by dropping all that weight. And now for performance is helping keep me consistent.

Starting point is 00:09:12 Even Koi right now, he's on a cut. I see him drinking this stuff all the time. He took the last of my favorite flavor, the chocolate peanut butter. Thanks, thanks Koi for doing that. Happy to order more using my promo code. But anyway, we keep a ton around here. The Huell Black Edition ready to drink.

Starting point is 00:10:14 Jane Rhodes asks. I love this franchise. I love this movie. Everything this movie does works for me. that there is dated CGI. None of the... None of the... None of that bothers me.

Starting point is 00:10:26 None of that bothers me. Yeah. Also, this is my least favorite of this franchise. Oh, wow. Okay. Which, to me, really says something about all these movies. It does, yeah.

Starting point is 00:10:35 I'm curious, with a TV show being made, do y'all think the movie really excelled in making it in a movie, or do they benefit with a TV show and the long form of storytelling? I don't... I think that TV shows,

Starting point is 00:10:50 shows, the TV show will be able to adapt more stuff from the books because I don't remember, I don't know what, but I hear that the movies leave out some stuff from the books. So that will be cool. And they can go into different areas. Right. The CD didn't bother me either. It's noticeable, but it's of the time. Yes. Right, right. If this is your least favorite, that bodes very well. Yeah, looking forward to the other movies then. Yeah, the CGI didn't bother me too much. but yeah typically when it comes into long long stories whether be um books or even like i'm looking at the last of us right now uh video games it seems like tv can really uh execute more accurate kind of depictions um so yeah i but i don't know like i guess i i i don't have nothing to compare to

Starting point is 00:11:37 because i don't know really this franchise other than this first movie so is it and i didn't read the book so i i don't know anything about the book so it's a good movie you've avoided a lot man i know You avoid a lot. Awesome Joe movie reviews. Thank you, awesome, Joe. If you were to attend Hogwarts, what would be your favorite class to attend to during this movie? Mine would be riding the flying broom.

Starting point is 00:12:01 Also, how would you see yourself in the mirror of enchantment? Oh, wow. I would be an Oscar for Best Actor or Screen on Screen. Thanks and stay awesome. Oh, Joe, that's so great. And it's great to know yourself like that. And also, I'm so glad yours is something that could happen in the future, something that has happened in the past like carries that i think that's way more difficult

Starting point is 00:12:20 um lj hit me first okay so um favorite class to attend would probably be the broom thing because i want to fly that'd be cool just to like float and like travel would be like like like list okay on that one mine would be spells because there you go if you can make things float i feel like you can make yourself oh yeah that's a good point oh and i want to be able to do all that stuff like cori neody did what about for the what would you see who i'm really curious what your answer is here of time correct me if i'm wrong, I just want to get this right. It's like your heart's biggest desires. It would,

Starting point is 00:12:53 oh man, this can go really deep. I would probably see a more confident version of myself. What would that look like? Oh, that's, yes. Man, this can get really, really

Starting point is 00:13:11 psychoanalyzing. Uh, I don't know. Uh, wait, how did, so it would be like, what's the physical manifestation of that? That's the thing. It would be like you giving a TED talk or like what would, what looks like confidence to you. It, it, it would manifest in different things. Um, it, I mean, my dancing, I would be able to carry my weight in competitions.

Starting point is 00:13:38 But you see one. You get one thing you see in the mirror. The deepest, the deepest. Okay. I'll, I'd probably. be with someone. You have like the love of your life. Yeah, exactly.

Starting point is 00:13:49 Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah. How about you? My mom, for sure. I think it would be like very similar to Harry. But like actually combining with, who has this show, awesome Joe, combining with awesome Joe, I would be probably giving my Emmy speech and my mom would be my, like, she would be the one in the audience. That would be like, ah, ha.

Starting point is 00:14:07 Yeah, that would be so, oh my God, yeah. All right. Valerie Fisher. Hi, John Roxy. Which of the characters from this movie are, you? you most like I feel like Hermione because she's just

Starting point is 00:14:19 so inquisitive sure yeah and I'm not genius like Hermione but just she asked a lot of questions and everybody at Real Rejects knows that that's my fit

Starting point is 00:14:27 like everybody makes fun of me because I ask so many fucking questions sure I mean that's not a bad thing so I always say I do things right the first time

Starting point is 00:14:35 because I ask a million questions there you go I don't mess it out no that makes sense um hmm I don't know I don't really what am I most like

Starting point is 00:14:44 it's like it's like It's like calling yourself a good driver. I need my passenger to tell me. I don't know. No, I don't think that's the same. Like, who did you? Who did I like? Okay, so who are the characters?

Starting point is 00:14:56 Like, there's all the professor. Yeah. The thing is, you're not really, the big three. I can't tell who you're the most like of the big three yet. Sure. Yeah, I can't tell either. Because we didn't get that much of Ron other than the chest stuff. Yes.

Starting point is 00:15:10 And he seems a little clumsy, which you don't seem. Yeah, I guess so. Hermione, I'm not, I'm not, I'm, I'm, I'm kind of inquisitive, not, I mean, relative to you, I don't think so. I mean, I would. But you're inquisitive too. But then, okay, so then you're not Naval. Mm-hmm. We didn't get to know the brothers of Ron, really.

Starting point is 00:15:33 Okay. Are we supposed to get to know them in the future? I don't know, but I just am thinking of any of the characters. You're not Snape. Sure. Uh, huh. Dumbledore seems way too like

Starting point is 00:15:45 filled with wisdom Yeah Maybe McGonagall She got Harry that broom Sure Oh yeah Well maybe yeah We don't know enough

Starting point is 00:15:58 You guys let us know in the comments And we'll keep We'll keep asking that question every time Yeah definitely We can give you different answers every time Jay Rushden Question What animal do you take

Starting point is 00:16:10 School examples owl rat, cat, dog, or toad is used. I went owl. You went toad and you can't take it back, bro. You can't take it back. You said, toad. We answered that question. You're like it's easy.

Starting point is 00:16:26 That's fine. I get the toad. Yeah. All right. Sure. Pierre the reject. Pierre the reject. Which Harry Potter character do you identify

Starting point is 00:16:34 yourself with? Here we go again. Can't wait for the new Harry Potter series in 2027. Same kind of question. It's the exact same question So Yeah, I don't know We answered that with Valerese

Starting point is 00:16:47 But thank you for the question Pierre and you guys tell us And again, keep asking that every week So that we can keep answering that I am excited for the series But I will use this part of the opportunity to say I do feel very conflicted about it Because of the JK Rowling

Starting point is 00:17:01 And stuff of it all And even us watching this These movies, it's like There's so many incredible people Who worked on these And it means so much to so many people And we are watching it but you know to me and I believe to you just who you are is who you are and yeah

Starting point is 00:17:17 accepting of all and come as you are and yeah it is rough in the comments uh doing anything but being lovely then shame on you right I agree uh okay let's hit one of these um from J.Dowell Jadale the letters from Hogwarts weren't just CGI. This is trivia. Thousands of real envelopes were printed and dropped into the Dersley's house for the scene where they flood the room, making it one of the most chaotic

Starting point is 00:17:49 practical facts moments in the film. What? That's insane. That's gnarly. Oh my gosh. Wow. Yeah, that must have been crazy to even figure out. Damn. Well, thank you for that bit of trivia and thank you guys for being here with us for this journey.

Starting point is 00:18:06 Yeah. Let us, don't give spoilers in the comments, but let us know what it is. that you think we should know, whether it's things that they left out from the first book into the first movie or just how you feel, who you guys think we are most similar to. How I'm supposed to belong to that apparently?

Starting point is 00:18:21 Yeah, exactly. Okay, so my brief analysis of that is, from what I've read online, is that Gryffindor is, like, known for their bravery. Slytherin is more cunning, but very motivated, like, goal-oriented. Sure. Ravenclaw, it seems to be more, like,

Starting point is 00:18:39 techy and good with electron, like very smart and... Analytical or? Yeah, I think so. Okay, okay. And Hufflepuff is like very kind and pure.

Starting point is 00:18:51 Oh, are you saying Hufflepuff for me? Yeah, you're really sweet, dude. Oh! But I'm sure there's a lot more, like, I'm sure you guys are screaming at home, like, and these things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's just like my overall initial assessment.

Starting point is 00:19:06 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that they all have their bad things too. Like this movie made it seem like Slytherin is the only one that has bad things but it seems like they all have goods and bad

Starting point is 00:19:15 so that's my assessment of that. Okay, good to know. All right, friends, thank you so much and we will see you for whatever the second Harry Potter,

Starting point is 00:19:24 any idea what it's called? Harry Potter and the Muzzae See you for Zama later, rejects.
