FYI, Alex, he watched the series between Oct 2020 and Feb 2021. He's re-uploading previous series to Ko-fi.

Ooh, so excited to see this. I hope you react to the whole series. I grew up reading the books and watching the movies.
A little background. Alchemy was defined as "a medieval chemical science and speculative philosophy aiming to achieve the transmutation of the base metals into gold, the discovery of a universal cure for disease, and the discovery of a means of indefinitely prolonging life."
The Philosopher's Stone was a legend. The elixir inside could turn metal into gold, and the user would be immortal. In the year 1330, a French writer named Nicolas Flamel claimed to have the Philsosopher's stone. In the UK, the original title of the book was Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. They changed it to Sorcerer's Stone in the US to appeal more to an American audience.
As for the four Hogwarts houses:
Gryffindor: Bravery, helping others, and chivalry.
Hufflepuff: Hard work, patience, loyalty, and fair play.
Ravenclaw: Intelligence, knowledge, planning ahead, and wit.
Slytherin: Ambition, cunningness, heritage, and resourcefulness.

Robbie Coltrane (Actor for Hagrid), was 6'1. Some of the shots were angled to make him look taller! He unfortunately passed away last year. Also, the difference between Philosopher's Stone UK/Everywhere else (I think) and Sorcerer's Stone was for the US.
