Hello, I'm Crown.
-
Today we're going to celebrate
-
the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter!
-
Hello everyone!
-
Welcome back to our channel.
-
That's right!
-
As you can see,
-
Crown is cosplaying again!
-
Honestly, we've cosplayed as Harry Potter
-
for many episodes already.
-
Remember that time that Ray cosplayed as Harry?
-
Does anyone remember?
-
So for today's video,
-
we are going to talk about one of our favorite things: Harry Potter!
-
It is also going to be
-
an English Corner.
-
So if you would like to watch with
-

-

-
We'll put the links in the description box below.

-
I can’t believe Harry Potter
-
is celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year!
-
One shot of British accent for you!
-
Seriously, it feels like just a few years ago
-
when the books and movies came out.
-
And now it’s really twenty years old!
-
Imagine how many people Harry grew up with!
-
So Harry Potter is twenty years old,
-
which means that it came out when I was...four?!
-
The first Harry Potter novel,
-
which is Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
-
came out back in June 1997
-
and it’s first movie back in 2001.
-
Then the last Harry Potter series novel
-
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
-
came out in 2007,
-
and the movie franchise ended in 2011.
-
I’ve read all the 7 novels
-
except for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
-
and seen all the 8 movies.
-
Just a heads-up,
-
this might be a really nerdy video for some of you.
-
You guys get to watch as I unveil the fangirl side of me.
-
Just look at my cosplay.
-
To be honest,
-
I think that all 8 Harry Potter movies
-
is unique and awesome in each and every way.
-
Each has a specific core story
-
and we all get to grow and learn
-
and become stronger with the characters.
-
There are a lot of famous quotes from the franchise
-
like Hagrid’s “Yer a wizard Harry”
-
to Snape’s “Always”.
-
I wouldn’t be able to cover all the quotes in this video,
-
but I’m gonna talk about
-
some of my favorite moments with Harry Potter.
-
First off,
-
my favorite character in Harry Potter would be
-
Hermione Granger.
-
Well, obviously, GIRL POWER! Whooo!
-
And of course, we all love the main characters
-
Harry, Ron, Hermione.
-
They all have different personalities and strengths,
-
so they will be able to help and support each other
-
in times of distress and lost hope.
-
But, Hermione Granger, in the story,
-
we got to see a female character
-
that can be such an inspirational role model for all of us.
-
She’s confident, intelligent, brave,
-
unyielding, strong and loyal,
-
all the good stuff.
-
As for my favorite scene,
-
I’ll have say it’s the battle of Hogwarts.
-
Same thing, I know there are
-
more than a few notable scenes in Harry Potter.
-
But in this particular scene,
-
I would like to point something out.
-
I read this online in an article
-
immediately after I finished watching the last episode of Harry Potter.
-
In the Battle of Hogwarts,
-
there’s this part where there are no dialogues,
-
only background music,
-
and we see the trio trying to make their way out of the school.
-
First, they meet a giant creature with a club,
-
same thing happened back in The Philosopher’s Stone
-
with the troll in the toilet.
-
Second, there are spiders coming at them,
-
same thing happened back in The Chamber of Secrets
-
with Harry and Ron at the spider cave.
-
Third, they blast off a werewolf devouring a fellow schoolmate,
-
same thing back in The Prisoner of Azkaban,
-
where Professor Lupin was the werewolf.
-
Fourth, they are faced with loads of dementors,
-
and we see dementors almost through all episodes
-
after the third one.
-
Fifth, we see the members of the Order of the Phoenix
-
standing right behind them helping,
-
and the same thing back in the fifth episode,
-
the members grouping together.
-
Sixth, the trio arrives at the Shrieking Shack and meet Severus Snape,
-
who is the Half-Blood Prince.
-
You see how this scene is making a reference to
-
all the previous Harry Potter series?
-
During this short time,
-
we see how much the trio had battled and defeated,
-
how far they’ve come and how much they’ve grown.
-
It really thrills me to know that the last episode
-
did pay some kind of homage to all the previous ones.
-
It just felt so right, and so meaningful,
-
you know, everything is connected.
-
My life is complete.
-
Going down to my favorite spell,
-
I think I’ll go for Obliviate.
-
This spell is a memory charm
-
used to erase someone’s memories.
-
And the most famous scene for this,
-
is probably when Hermione used it on her parents.
-
Hoping to protect her muggle parents from torture and death,
-
She erased all memories of herself from her parents’ mind.
-
Obliviate
-
But it got me thinking,
-
is this spell irreversible?
-
Does that mean the parents will
-
never ever remember their daughter,
-
even if they’ve defeated Voldemort?
-
I mean,
-
that’s just so sad!
-
So I hope that sometime after their victory,
-
there’s some way to undo the spell,
-
and Hermione can be with her parents again.
-
Oh and a cool bonus, did you know that Hermione’s mother
-
is also the Starks’ mother in Game of Thrones?
-
Boom!
-
Winter is coming in three more days.
-
I’m so excited for Season 7! Woo!
-
Alright, coming back,
-
Obliviate!
-
Obliviate!
-
I would like to mention that
-
I had the opportunity to visit the Harry Potter Studio in London.
-
It was a really magical place,
-
and you can relive all your Harry
-
Sorry…
-
Sorry…
-
Stupefy!
-
It was a really magical place,
-
you get to relive all your Harry Potter's
-
dreams and fantasies there.
-
If you’d like to see my tour of the Harry Potter Studio,
-
Accio video!
-
Check it right here!
-
Accio comb!
-
Go away comb!
-
Now I’d like to share some of the merchandise
-
I bought from England.
-
To be honest, I didn’t really buy a lot of stuff,
-
because at that time I thought,
-
I don’t want to be doing any impulsive buying.
-
But I kind of regret it right now.
-
I should’ve done it.
-
First, it’s this.
-
What is this?
-
It’s a box.
-
No.
-
It’s the Harry Potter Magic Wand!
-
This is Harry’s wand.
-
Authentic.
-
So yep.
-
I’ve been holding this wand in my hand
-
throughout the video.
-
Next, it’s the official guide from
-
the Making of Harry Potter Studio Tour.
-
So, basically,
-
it shows you what you’ll be seeing
-
inside the studio tour in London.
-
This guidebook gives you a lot of insight
-
as to how the movie is made.
-
I also bought my very own Gryffindor scarf.
-
And finally,
-
Hogwarts’ Acceptance Letter.
-
As you can see,
-
it’s addressed to Miss Crown Du
-
So it’s legit.
-
I’m a Hogwarts student.
-
I’m a wizard.
-
I’m a wizard, Harry.
-
Finally, if you’re a hardcore Harry Potter fan,
-
you must know about a website named Pottermore.
-
This is an official website set up by J.K. Rowling herself,
-
where you can read tons of background stories
-
about the wizarding world.
-
At the same time,
-
you get to take all these quizzes
-
and see where the sorting hat will sort you to,
-
what wand you use, and what your patronus is.
-
The sorting hat sorted me to House Hufflepuff,
-
which is where Newt Scamander
-
from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them comes from.
-
By the way,
-
this is Newt’s wand.
-
Then, my patronus revealed to be a deerhound,
-
which is a kind of large dog originated from Scotland.
-
My wand is a silver lime wood wand
-
with phoenix feather as its core.
-
Harry’s wand was also a phoenix feather one.
-
Okay!
-
That's all the Harry Potter knowledge
-
that I would like to share with all of you today.
-
If you went and did those quizzes,
-
