Could You Survive HARRY POTTER?

Guest Starring



A run-in with a Dark Wizard bent on world domination leaves Jake (me) defenseless and stripped of magical powers. Enlisting the help of his wizard friends, Jake (me again!) must regain some semblance of what he lost using science to create an invisibility cloak via radiant energy, overcome the forces of gravity to fly with magnetic energy, and to create a wand through electrical energy - all before confronting the Dark Wizard once more in the hopes of defeating them once and for all.

OH BOY! This episode had our biggest cast ever in CYSTM! So grateful to all the creators for being in it. It was a fun one to make and I hope you dig it!

[casey]

THIS IS SO GREAT!! thanks for having me along and why do i always have to die?

[umbrascitor]

Missed opportunity for Derek to yell "Veritasium!" like calling out a spell.

[DarkDreams]

"You know I don't have magic, but I do have sadness. That is my power." Poor Jake 😂

[spillymcspillmore]

Love this so much. Especially the music. Perfect level of "this totally is not Harry Potter, please don't sue us"

[agepbiz]

Loved it! This is how YouTube Rewind should be like. Humor, science and awesome YouTubers!

[PyraHydrokorra]

This show's combination of science and humour is amazing. The writing is just incredible. Combined with the awesome special effects and constant guest stars this is easily my favourite series on youtube.

[zpinn]

The humor is awesome in this one. Love to see so many youtubers participating too.

[MidoriNatsume]

This is more of a Type of Energy Exposition than a Harry Potter video.

I was expecting this one to end with Matt saying “But hey, that’s just a theory, a CYSTM theory and as always, thanks for watching.”

[attmlb]

I love that William got to make the wands after literally making wands to get out of having to buy one in harry potter land.

"A physicist with a PhD, you are no match for me"
Is that a reference to Isaac Newton vs Bill Nye rap battle or am I stretching?

[jonathan-._.-]

you kinda forget the "wand of high energy propulsion" otherwise known as firearms ^^

[agfa]

Derek lowkey flexing his experience and love in acting. He is so good!

[fireinateacup]

Production value was through the roof! Nice job on the alternative music too btw! Great idea and awesome premise for teaching science!

[tommegg]

Derek goes out to be a dark villain after defeating a professor on that impossible vehicle bet

[Blananas]

Jack with the popcorn near the end is just the perfect gag.

[Downiesstudios]

Love how the music is subtly so close to the original.

[MisterRorschach]

I went to an arts and science high school that had a class called the science of Harry Potter. You spent the entire semester basically living this episode. Making potions, and mechanical things that work similar to magic in the movies.

[LilKrazy]

Of all the cast members I expected to see in this episode, William Osman was not one of them 😄 That's really cool!
