HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX Watchalong!
Added 2024-12-09 20:37:37 +0000 UTCHi guys, so just wanted to do a bit of explaining here. Obviously this is the full uncut watchalong so the reaction is going to be raw as opposed to the edit that we put on YouTube. We did a little bit of editing around certain parts (i.e. Michael accidentally spoiling things) because we didn't want him getting more hate than he already was getting from people in the comments. You will be able to see these moments in this watchalong.
Just for a bit of context (in case it wasn't already pretty obvious from the fact that people's outfits remain the same for a lot of the reactions), we usually shoot a bunch of reactions in one day. This was one of those days. Now we (Jaby and Achara) had no idea that Michael was spoiling anything in the reactions as we were not in the room at that time and rely on our hosts to tell us if something is amiss. It wasn't until after this movie that Kristen came to us and told us that Michael was spoiling the movie so we had a chat with him and he was careful not to do that for the following reactions. Please understand that he's an avid fan of the books and so he knows a lot of things that Kristen does not as she didn't know anything about the series before going into it. I've also left the discussion uncut for you guys as that was also edited in a way to make sense of the reaction that was shown online and I know that Kristen told Michael that he spoiled some things for her in the movie so I figured it would make sense for you guys to see the full discussion as it happened. Sorry if there are mistakes and it seems a little raw.
TLDR: Micheal does spoil some things for Kristen in the movie but we had a chat with him after this so going forward that shouldn't be an issue anymore. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

2024-12-22 23:01:59 +0000 UTCNo hate for Michael, i understand the urge to call out characters and stuff having re-read the books countless times. But really just got to watch out when you comment on something with someone who is having the first time experience. I am pretty sure there are a couple times i caught the sneak comment that won't make sense yet, but it could've still been spoiler-ish. To everyone else that say we are overreacting, not really. Imagine having someone tell a person who hasn't watch it what they are about to experience. we are here for that first time reaction Weasley twins are more talented than anyone realizes. They can't actually just wave their wands and what they want to do just magically happens. it takes wand movements and words to make something happen. The twins are able to enchant items, create edibles with spellwork, and so much more its kinda crazy!

2024-12-12 13:38:42 +0000 UTCI like Michael as a reactor and I know he's a huge fan of the books but objectivly saying "you'll see", is literally a spoil for Kristen. She will expect something in the next few seconds and her reaction won't be "pure". Hating on him is bad tho.

2024-12-10 22:15:39 +0000 UTCHe's been spoiling since the first movie. I started watching the first one and couldn't finish it after the constant name drops before the characters were introduced. It wouldve been nice to keep all the missed plot point for the discussion after the movie was done. It is what it is I guess.

2024-12-10 15:14:26 +0000 UTCI think Michael does a great job and was mostly helping her understand the plot, so I donβt see any issue with that. I canβt imagine him getting any kind of hate. Also, if I felt someone is ruining the movie, Iβd let them know immediately rather than going to someone else and tell them. All the best Michael and keep up the good work.

2024-12-10 07:56:07 +0000 UTCThts y blurring the movie instead of just a timer helps u can follow ad pause during the extended cuts. I believe their version is from peacock. We don't have access to peacock in canada so this is the best way for me to follow. U can usually find have the extended scenes on youtube.

2024-12-10 05:51:22 +0000 UTCNow usually I'm not a big fan of people spoiling, but I understand Michael's reaction to seeing Umbridge on screen. It's just so hard to not scream boo at the tv when she is on screen. The character of course not the actress lol

2024-12-10 02:48:19 +0000 UTCIm sorry Michael has been getting hate in the comments. He is passionate about the books and stories he reacts to, which I appreciate in a reaction. Spoilers happen (especially by people in comments sections). Looking forward to their reaction of the next two!

2024-12-10 02:46:11 +0000 UTCSorry for the bother, what version of the movie are you guys watching? I keep trying to find an extended cut, but I can't seem to find it. It just makes it hard to sync with the uncut watch along and I have to keep fixing it throughout the movie. I also might be an idiot and missed something that you have already told us of where you watching. Again sorry.

2024-12-10 02:43:30 +0000 UTCGreat reaction! Michael wasn't too bad. I thought he had spoiled one of the major plot points, but I do understand the frustration with tainting the perspective with the knowledge of the books. He definitely should have let Umbridge slow burn. As for Neville's backstory, in his defense, we do learn about it in the Goblet of Fire book so he may have assumed they didn't include it at all.

2024-12-10 02:10:30 +0000 UTC''It wasn't until after this movie that Kristen came to us and told us that Michael was spoiling the movie so we had a chat with him and he was careful not to do that for the following reactions'' Sounds, AND reads so middle school cringe it hurts. Also; naw, he wasn't spoiling anything at all really, people need to Fucking c h i l l . Also; also; it's ''kristen'' ; she's as dumB as a post, so y'know; Michael ''ramming things home'' (HA) / confirming/repeating, or remembering Shit that's already been said, is nothing but helpful, not to mention the fact, that she'll forget everything movie to movie anywayπ€·π€·ββοΈπ€·ββοΈ

2024-12-10 00:27:51 +0000 UTCThe hate is a bit much but he does need to hold it down with spoiling stuff it kinda ruins it as she is supposed to draw her own conclusions & find things out for herself β¦it was still never that deep.

2024-12-10 00:12:02 +0000 UTCWho in their right mind would hate on Micheal?? Heβs such a fun person for watchalongs people and their overreacting to everything.

2024-12-09 23:41:28 +0000 UTCOh Michael his passion is understandable. He did an awesome job in the arcane reactions. He has just had a hard time with Harry Potter.
