- I wasn't allowed to read them growing up.
And my parents were like,
"We don't want you to become a witch."
(group laughs) And I was like,
"Well, it's fake."
(upbeat electronic music plays)
- [Narrator] We brought together seven Harry Potter fans.
- I'm a Harry Potter fan.
- I am a Harry Potter fan.
- I'm a Harry Potter fan.
- I am a Harry Potter fan.
- I'm a Harry Potter fan.
- [Narrator] One is a liar.
If the group discovers who the liar is
they'll split a cash prize.
If the liar survives, they win the entire prize.
(intense classical music plays)
Who is the Odd One Out?
- I think the best thing to do right now
is to say your house and your Patronus.
- [Rachel] Oh, that's a good idea.
- Start with you.
- Raven claw, otter.
- Okay, I'm a Hufflepuff and I'm a shrew.
- Hufflepuff and sugar glider.
- Ravenclaw, alchemy.
- Ravenclaw, red squirrel. (giggles)
- Hufflepuff, otter. (giggles)
- Gryffindor, otter.
- I think I was most suspicious of Rachel.
- Her and I were the only ones
that kinda came in full customs.
'Cause I was expecting everybody will do it.
So when nobody did, I was like, hmm.
- Who's read the books?
Oh okay, perfect.
- Okay, cool. What's your favorite book?
- Third. - Okay.
- Goblet of Fire.
- The first one? - [Grecia] Yeah.
- I'd say the seventh.
- Prisoner of Azkaban.
- I'd say Order the Phoenix.
- I'm Half-Blood Prince, so, okay.
- I was really suspicious of Cameron.
He wasn't wearing real Hufflepuff gear.
- He wasn't talking as much.
So I thought he felt overwhelmed
with the amount of material we were talking about.
- What's the spell that Hermione said in the second book?
When she fixed Harry's glasses?
- [Rachel] Oculus Reparo. - Yes.
- In what book, you said? - Second book.
- [Rachel] When they're at Diagon Alley.
- I know what you're getting at.
- It's not the second book.
- Yes, it is - Yeah she does it twice.
He was like, and I was like, whoa.
So I got kind of like defensive.
She's being specific. - Yes, that's what I'm saying.
- Okay, good catch, good catch.
- For the two Ravenclaws.
What are the actual Ravenclaw colors?
- Oh! Bronze- - Um, blue and bronze.
(bell rings)
- When you have seven people, one minute is not enough.
- Everything was moving so fast,
so it's hard to guess, who else might it be?
(upbeat funk music plays)
- I was most suspicious of Cameron
because he didn't talk at all.
(upbeat funk music continues)
(buzzer wails)
- I'm sorry!
- [Cameron] I would've voted myself out.
I feel like I took one breath and then I was gone.
- [Uzair] When did you guys start reading Harry Potter?
- So I read the first book the year it came out,
so I was in fifth grade.
My mom read it to our fifth grade class.
- I didn't read the books until seven years ago
because I was born and raised in El Salvador.
So over there, it was just too expensive
for me to get the books.
With my first salary, I bought my first Harry Potter book,
which was the first book.
- My sister was a huge Harry Potter fan,
but I was like a little scared
'cause I saw Voldemort and I'm like,
"Is this like a horror movie?"
- In high school I had a really, really big crush
on this guy, and he was a big Potter Head,
and I just wanted to really impress him.
So I started reading all the books
and I watched all the movies.
(record scratches) Nick if you're watching this,
turn the video off. (group laughs)
- I wasn't allowed to read them growing up.
And my parents were like,
"We don't want you to become a witch."
And I was like, "Well, it's fake"
- Hufflepuffs. - Yes?
- Who's your Head of House?
- It's Professor Sprout.
- Question for the Ravenclaws.
What is your true mascot?
- It's a eagle. - A eagle!
- For the Ravenclaws,
who is our Head of House?
- You mean the Founder? - I mean, Founder of House.
- [Brian] Founder is Rowena. - [Uzair] Rowena.
- Now we need the question the Gryffindor.
- Yeah, someone gimme a question.
- Alright cool. What was Ludo Bagman known for?
- Oh, he's the Quidditch announcer, right?
At the, um, World Cup?
I was like, oh, is that the wrong answer?
- I asked a question about Ludo Bagman,
who is a character in the books
who didn't make it into the movies.
I was trying to see if she had actually read the books,
versus just maybe watching the movies
or maybe just trying to study up.
- My heart is pounding right now because like,
I feel like I read so much fanfiction
that I'm like- - You read fanfiction?!
- Yeah! I'm like, "What's cannon?!"
- [Inseong] I need to ask you about that,
did you ever read Isolation?
- Yes! Of course! - Yes! Okay!
Isolation is a fanfiction about a budding romance
between Draco and Hermione.
- Yeah, of course I've read it. It's a classic
- And I have a question for you.
Why you didn't brought, besides your one, any other, like?
- Okay, first of all, Harry Potter apparel is so expensive.
I didn't wear any merchandise.
It probably like gave a lot of people reason to suspect me.
- His shirt was comics related (laughs)
The mole will for sure have a one,
but what about the rest of the clothes?
- [Inseong] What's your favorite scene from the books?
Like something that wasn't in the movie.
- [Rachel] That's a good question.
- If everybody read the books,
then they should be able to name a scene
in the books that wasn't in the movies.
- Mine is when Voldemort died because in the movies
he disintegrated. - [Inseong And Kylie] Yeah!
But in the books, he died as a mortal man.
- Ron and Hermione become prefects and Malfoy does too.
And then they're walking through school and Hermione's like,
"Harry, don't go picking around with Malfoy,"
"He's a prefect now, he can make life difficult for you."
And he goes, "Wow, I wonder what it would be like"
"to have a difficult life?"
- Honestly, I think it'd have to be
the Quidditch final in Prisoner of Azkaban.
'Cause that just wasn't included in the movie.
- I really wish that they included
like Peeves the poltergeist throughout the whole movies.
Like he wasn't there.
- Oh, do you guys like Snape? Snape fans?
- [Kylie] Yes. - [Grecia] No.
- I hate Snape, he hurt Petunia.
He literally got her hit with the branch.
And that's when he like showed effectively-
- There's nothing in any of the books, any of the movies,
that shows that he wasn't actually all about that life.
- In both, in the books and the movies
I feel like all along, he has Dumbledore's support.
I don't know what's happening there.
- I don't like Dumbledore.
He's a manipulator, I don't like him, he's weird.
- Uzair was talking so much.
- He is probably only giving all the facts that he studied
and speaking more, so the rest don't get to talk.
- Yeah, Dumbdore's a manipulator.
- [Rachel] He totally is. (Grecia laughs)
- These are like hot takes in Harry Potter!
- [Kylie] I like Dumbledore - You like Dumbledore?
Okay, thank you, good.
- I look at each character as if they're people.
And Dumbledore's background,
like with his thing with Grindelwald,
I feel like that makes him human.
At the same time, I can kinda relate to him. I'm sorry.
(bell rings)
(upbeat funk music plays)
- [Host Off Screen] We have a tie!
The tie is between Kylie and Inseong.
That means we're going into a tiebreaker.
Each of you is going to get 20 seconds to state your case.
- I think everyone here would know the quote
at the end of the book, when Peeves comes out into the hall
and says like "We did it, we bashed them."
"Wee Potter's the one, Voldy has gone moldy."
(laughs) Voldy's gone moldy. (bell rings)
- I mean, I'm a late Potter Head
but I freaking love Harry Potter.
I've been to like all the landmarks,
I've been to Leadenhall Market,
I've been to Black Park,
I've been to the Elephant House
and I spent so much time there, oh my God.
And I've also been to Harry Potter World, obviously.
I'm just really big in Harry Potter and I'm super nervous.
And I think that's why I'm like so quiet in the blackout.
(intense percussion music plays)
(buzzer wails)
Good luck guys. - [Group] Sorry
- This will be the favorite movie scene round.
Each of you will get to tell the others
what your favorite Harry Potter movie scene is and why.
(bell dings)
- My favorite movie is the third one,
but my favorite scene is from the sixth one.
When Harry Potter, he drank Felix, like the lucky charm
And he's just walking and then Professor Slughorn comes
And he's like, "Harry!". And he's like, "Sir!"
(bell dings) - When they are at the
dinner hall and each is eating in their house tables.
He starts flirting with the girl
that he wanted to go- I'm forgetting her name.
Then he's like, "I want a water for this"
and was staring into that bottle of water.
So he goes like- and all the water like falls
because he's just so nervous because he's flirting with her
The first one, I just screwed it up.
So I was like, okay, I have a backup.
And I have another one.
Harry gifts Dobby, it's the book with the sock.
And he found this, he's like,
"Oh, master have gift Dobby a sock."
(bell dings) - In Order of the Phoenix,
the fight between Dumbledore and Voldemort is just crazy.
Like, that's the only reason
I really like the Harry Potter movies
is 'cause it gave me a way to actually see
what I've been reading since I was 10.
(bell dings) - It's like a flashback
of James Potter and him bullying Snape and saying,
"Oh, I'm taking down Snivelly's trousers."
I think that's a very important scene to me
'cause it shows that even though it's someone to look up to,
there's flaws in every character.
(bell dings) - Deathly Hallows,
when Hermione has to obliviate her parents.
It's so sad!
It's a very Gryffindor thing for her to do,
to protect her parents by obliviating them.
She doesn't even know if she can get their memories back.
(bell rings) (upbeat funk music plays)
- The most suspicious person I think was Grecia,
because she blanked out on a couple things.
(upbeat music continues)
(buzzer wails)
- I'm not a muggle (chuckles)
- [Uzair] I feel so bad.
- I was really disappointed.
I went in the whole effort to come in a complete uniform.
Maybe the mole felt like threatened
and that's why they got me out (laughs)
- [Host Off Screen] If you wanna continue playing the game,
please raise your hands in 3, 2, 1.
We'll vote one more time.
In 3, 2, 1.
(group laughs)
- Kylie mentioned her sister was a big Harry Potter fan.
She could be wearing her sister's sweatshirt,
and using her sister's wand.
- I started doubting Brian.
He might be the least likely option
but that would be like the biggest gasp moment.
- [Host Off Screen] I'll do one last vote and that's it.
3, 2, 1. Go.
(group laughs) - Oh my God.
- [Host Off Screen] All right.
I think we've never had a situation like this.
(group laughs)
- What can I say? We're magical.
(twinkling) (thunder cracking)
One of you guys could be the mole
because you guys want it to end
so you guys can get the money.
There's no harm in just having another round, I think.
- I feel like we got the mole.
All three of you guys have given some pretty deep cuts.
- The level of material that we've been talking about.
It's too intense, that I think the mole
wouldn't be able to spit out those facts so easily.
- I wanna keep going
because I'm just like a little bit suspicious.
And part of me is like
"I need to have it down to like the last survivors."
I don't know what to do anymore.
- [Host Off Screen] Let's go for one last round of votes.
If you wanna continue playing, please raise your hand
in 3, 2, 1.
- God damn it. Okay, that's fine.
- [Rachel] Better not be (indistinct)
- I will crucio you.
(Kylie laughs)
- [Host Off Screen] So if the lights turn green,
you guys win.
If the lights turns red,
the mole is still in the box and you lose.
(intense classical music plays)
- Yes! - Oh my God.
- So when it turned green, I was like,
"All right, cool. We're good." I was hype.
- I'm really glad that I made it to the end.
I'm very proud of myself. (laughs)
I'm sorry Kylie,
I voted you several times. - It's okay.
- I was kind of suspicious of you.
Now I feel bad, obviously.
- I was suspicious of you 'cause you know so much.
I was like, "Odd Man Out's gonna psych me out".
- [Host Off Screen] Will the mole please step forward
and reveal yourself in 3, 2, 1.
(upbeat funk music plays)
- [Uzair] I'm so sorry.
- Yeah, it's me. - [Kylie] I'm so sorry
- I am a Hufflepuff, I took the quiz,
but my roommate is a huge Potter Head.
I was traumatized by Voldemort's face
when I was six, in the first movie.
And that's why I just never went back.
Considering that I've never actually read
any of the Harry Potter books,
and I only watched like two of the movies.
I think I did a pretty good job.
I am not into Harry Potter,
and I never will be into Harry Potter.
I can already hear the haters behind the screen.
- So you haven't read isolation!
- [Inseong] I just studied about it! (laughs)
- I feel so betrayed!
- That you did study,
and the fact that you brought a sweater, props to you.
He didn't, he didn't do it so.
- I was gonna say! - Sorry, it's so expensive.
- [Inseong] Better than this guy! (laughs)
- I don't specifically think
that you have to read the books to be a fan.
If you do read the books,
you are able to appreciate it more.
- I had immigrated to the United States at a young age.
Harry Potter was like a place of solace for me, or a refuge.
- I was able to be part of something bigger,
part of something that is magical,
and can take you away, or distract you from things
that you're going through, or like tough things.
I think that's why it has a special place in my heart.
(Rachel laughs)
(Host Off Screen excitedly hollers)
- [Uzair] Money!
(soft intense classical music plays)
