My head canon: Dementors can't be killed or destroyed. They don't NEED to eat, but they hunger constantly like vampires. In my mind, they probably had a lot of conflict with wizards (and muggles) for a long time. I think they probably made a deal with them to keep them under control. They would provide prisoners for them to feed upon in order to keep them sated because the alternative is much worse: they'd be roaming around uncontrolled, killing lots of innocent people. Sacrificing prisoners does seem barbaric and cruel, but it's preferable to everyone in the world living in fear forever, never knowing when dementors will come for them or their children, as well as exposing the world of magic to muggles which would undoubtedly lead to muggle vs wizard conflicts on top of that.
Muggles can't see Dementors though. In the presence of Dementors, Muggles just have the same vague feeling of unhappiness that Wizards do, but they don't understand why. Also, for most people being in the presence of Dementors isn't likely to cause any serious harm. Unless you've had some truly awful things happen to you like Harry or Dudley, you'll be fine.
@@macon8638 He basically forced to realize what a horrible spoiled brat he was to everyone for all this time when he faced the Dementors in Book 5. Introspection can be painful, and that's doubly true in the Harry Potter universe when magic is involved.
My friend told me they have the dementors torturing prisoners at azkaban so they dont go around torturing random people. So I've sort of just believed him in the idea that the Ministry is casually sacrificing prisoners to the dementors to keep them happy and given how horrible the ministry is, i still believe it lol
The rising Gamer it was the same night they died, Sirius went to the house, saw it was destroyed, that’s when Hagrid came, Sirius gave Hagrid his bike, then Sirius went and searched for peter and “killed” him. All happened in the same night. 31 October

Sirius wasn't able to escape because of him being an animagus, it was because he knew he was innocent. Not a happy thought, just not a bad one either. That's why the dementors could not detect him.
sarah sahara I don’t remember Arthur being there. As Jay mentioned, Harris was sent there in Chamber of Secrets but I only ever remember Arthur staying at Saint Mungo’s after that bite.
@@loveland852 yeah I was wrong, it says somewhere that he visited Azkaban, and in the German version it sounded as though he had been sent there at some time (to me)
Marvolo and Morfin were released after serving their sentence for hexing Tom Riddle Sr and then fighting the Aurors. Morfin died in Azkaban after being sent there by Tom's machinations, while Dumbledore was trying to get his case appealed.
Small correction: The Ministry of Magic does NOT only give out life sentences to Azkaban. For example, I refer to Bagman's trial in the flashback scene of Goblet of Fire, where Crouch starts to recommend a sentence of several years.
@@starrchild254 there's an old video, in which he talks about the 42 uses of a towel and he called the comment section the "towel section" and it stuck 😄
I have always thought that dementors was actually the physical manifestation of depressions in the wizzarding world. What they leave behind of you after a dementors kiss have always sounded very much like extreme depression to me. Am I the only one?
Wait, now the big question: If Azkaban was still used as a prison after Voldemort, where the heck did the dementors go? It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows afterwards. Where did they go?
Grindelwald escaped the Macusa. He switched himself with Abernathy while under their guard. Convinced Abernathy to get his tongue cut out without blabbing too (hence why Grindelwald had to fix Abernathy's tongue post escape). Cant imagine that trick works on a dementor.
@@Illier1 sure. But saying the dementors shouldn't be used because they are in league with you enemy is a different argument than saying that the dementors weren't necessary because wizards were able to hold Grindelwald in a normal prison. They weren't.
vaishali mathur, have you seen sarcastic fringe heads fight? It ain’t quite like that. It’s like they’re screaming into each other’s mouths, and it’s hilarious.
The carriage scene wasn’t a “body switching power”, it was polyjuice that they each took at the same time, so it wore off at the same time. The proof is that at the beginning of the movie, Picquery says they cut out Grindelwald’s tongue. Later, Grindelwald replaces Abernathy’s severed tongue with a forked one. Also, during the escape scene Abernathy doesn’t speak once. (Maybe he does after he gets his tongue back, I’m not sure)
I was saying the same thing not only that but if you look at the wand the he uses to aperate to the bottom of the carriage it's the elder wand and I don't think grindlewald would ever give that wand to someone let alone to someone who has not proven themselves yet even if it was to break them out
Ah yes it’s so obvious that it was polyjuice potion... that’s why grindewald went through this weird convoluted plan to free his follower from prison. For some reason. Instead of just leaving him there. And escaping by himself with the blood pact. Makes sence...
''only seem to be handing out life sentences?'' Hagrid? gets told it will only be ''a short stint'' plus what about Marvolo Gaunt and his son? they both got out after a few years...
@ULGROTHA oh yeah 100% they seemed to just go by how they feel at the time, i was just pointed out that he said there were no denominations in time and it was only life sentences being handed out
Hagrid only gets told it'll be quick if they catch someone else. “For a short stretch only,” said Fudge, not meeting Hagrid’s eyes. “Not a punishment, Hagrid, more a precaution. If someone else is caught, you’ll be let out with a full apology -” So yeah, Fudge once again being the worst. If they wouldn't catch anyone or don't get some kind of answer as to what has been going on Hagrid would just have to stay in Azkaban.
@@ricocarpenter2189 so because it wasn't mentioned it never happened in any other cases? im just saying he knows they dont ONLY hand out life sentences so confused why he said it
I thought the same thing. Bad weather means less muggles out and harder to see clearly. We know from the HP series when Hermione made Harry's Quidditch googles impervious to rain that wizards have a way for seeing better in rainy weather.
Well it not 100% success rate more like 99.999999999999857% as Sirius black and Barty Crouch Jr escaped then a few year late it just became a failure with a mass breakout
All of which happened in the span of just a handful of years. With a tiny bit of rounding, relatively speaking, it was still around 300 years of 100% success.
Big flaw man. Grindelwald was waiting there. He wasn’t held as a prisoner since he was posing as the macusa agent. He wanted to make a dramatic escape with the minister of magic there. Most of his stuff his just for show in order to manipulate.
Samuel Musser, I agree. The only way this breakout tactic makes sense is if Grindelwald is making decisions in order to build the legend of his own power, making himself into a perceived unstoppable foe. Dumbledore's continued existence is the biggest threat to this plan in two ways; First: Albus is a very talented and powerful wizard in his own right and Second: He is essentially the only person alive who truly knows what Grindelwald is actually capable of accomplishing.
I could've sworn the ministry was able to control the dementors. Which is why Hogwarts was told a fair warning that the dementors would be playing host for a while until they're able to find and capture Sirius. Also in Order of Phoenix, when Harry gets brought to the ministry, he asks why the dementors were even there in the muggle world, and the ministry comes back at him by saying dementors weren't stationed there in the first place
There is evidence that suggests that there are other sentences of time in Azkaban. “If the Ministry and Voldemort are behind Snape it’ll be a choice between staying and teaching, or a few nice years in Azkaban - and that’s if they’re lucky”(Deathly Hallows, p. 226). This proves that life isn’t the only known sentence in Azkaban because even Harry, known for needing Ron to provide wizarding world facts, thought of time in Azkaban in terms of years. (Sorry if someone else quoted this. I’m not trying to copy)
Wait wait wait could Azkaban be the Bermuda Triangle? Not based on any facts/research, it's just that it's a triangle and ships were "lost" there and it wasn't on any maps. Just throwing it out there
Cool idea. Sadly the geography doesn't quite work, as the Bermuda triangle is the area between Florida, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico; and Azkaban is located somewhere in the North Sea (East/North-East of England).
The People vs Ilai’s Magic: Ilai’s Magic, you have been accused of making a horrendous joke. Should you plead guilty, you are consigned to the depths of heck (2:14). Should you plead innocent and be found guilty, you shall be given a life sentence in Azkaban. How do you plead.
In a Scorose fanfiction, She suggested killing Dementors for slippers instead of bunnies because she thought they were killing bunnies for slippers and that was wrong.
Him: We do play golf! On broomsticks! We call it Brolf! Also him: proceeds to explain how he is right Me 10 minutes later: *still laughing about the “brolf” joke*
MACUSA wasn’t successful in holding Grindelwald. He switched places with Abernathy through transfiguration. Thus, why he had to give Abernathy a new tongue in the flying carriage.
you should do a video on magical creatures/plants, and how muggles never see them/be able to use the plants and potions, especially if they live on the same universe
Something I’ve always wondered was how more wizards haven’t escaped Azkaban. So you know how Sirius’s wand has runes all over it? Well he supposedly carved them into his wand while he was at Azkaban, which means he must have his wand while at Azkaban. And what creatures guard Azkaban? Dementors. What spell can deflect Dementors? The Patronus Charm. And there is no way that not one prisoner knows how to make a patronus. And the only thing I can think of that would disprove my theory is if there is some spell or potion or something that makes a wand not usable in that location or makes it so that a person can’t cast a spell in that location. Also I know you may be thinking ‘but wait if there are so many dementors someone may not be able to cast the spell.’ Well actually no. In Prisoner of Azkaban Harry deflects 100+ dementors. So there may be more that 100 dementors at Azkaban but if there are multiple people who can produce a patronus then I bet they could do it.
"Yes, members of the enemy army, you may guard your former allies! That seems like a really good idea." - Just point #394 why the Wizarding world makes no freakin' sense.
I think Grindelwald just let them keep him there, and thought he was being kept at MACUSA because he's 'special.' Edit: **I** thought they kept him ...
This is crazy, I discussed the ethics of Azkaban on my channel just a few weeks ago. Awesome timing! I kind of answer your question to Ben in that video, but ultimately what it comes down to, I think, is one's philosophy of what a prison is meant to do. Azkaban's success rate during the era of the dementors is undeniable.
I'd say prison is supposed to be for reform really. if someone is never going to be let out you'd be better off just excuting them. well unless you're particularly sadistic or prone to miscarriages of justice.
Reform vs keep locked up is a very grey area, some people can be reformed and some people trick you into thinking they are just so they get out again. Best would be if you could reform everyone, but that is not the case
@@TGPDrunknHick Except dying is easy. There's no punishment there. Your life ends and that's it. The punishment in prison is knowing you will never escape, never achieve anything else, and being completely devoid of all hope.
@@lyntonfleming and your point? unless you intend to reform someone all you do by putting them in prison is waste resources. it's pointless. to leave someone to rot isn't justice. it's revenge and all it does is blacken the heart and waste food and manpower better off somewhere else in society.
I think that if the people in Azkaban really deserved it, then the dementors were worth it. But then again they do trap some pretty innocent people so maybe they should have a prison for “Not so Bad Prisoners.”
Agreed, remember they sent Hagrid there in Chamber of Secrets in the ministries (usual) imcompetent attempt to control the situation at Hogwarts. I feel bad for him everytime i think about it, poor cuddly Hagrid probably crying about Hermione petrified, people blaming Harry and Fang all alone wondering where he is.
There may be different amounts of ‘guarding’ at Azkaban depending on your crime; Sirius was one of the most heavily guarded prisoners, so I always imagined Dementors basically posted outside his door. That said, no, pretty sure that nothing is worth having Dementors around, especially when they don’t effect the most horrible people the same as normal people! Great video 😁
I know that it's not related but will you guys please please please make a video debunking the "Ginny slipped Harry a love potion" theory??? #Please I will comment it until you make one, please don't get annoyed. Love your videos
@@SuperCarlinBrothers omg....thanks for replying.....I know this theory is ridiculous and mostly based of the films but some people argue for this one very much! they even bring up Molly mentioning love potion in Prisoner of Azkaban too. Apparently Harry having a loving family with Ginny is not enough! I love your videos
@@pan-opticon Me neither...I have always wanted #Hinny #Romione and #Nuna that's why I want the theory debunked so bad....I don't see how the story would play if Harry was with Hermione...the whole Deathly Hallows would be different.
Jannatul Shoilee also like, Ginny doesn’t even need a love potion, besides, it doesn’t add anything good to the story, quite the contrary...And yes, Ron and Hermione are too cute! Her and Harry, i feel, are just like siblings.
Azkaban isn’t solely used for life sentences. The Gaunts (marvolo and morphin) were sent to Azkaban for a few months(marvolo) or a few years (morphin) but not life.
@@sentinellj He was persuasive, very... So you know, he talked to the security and talked and talked and got the potion done by them, and delivered. After all he had quite a while to make them do it before they silenced him (although, they thought it was him, he changed before that). There had to be a reason they did it so why wouldn't it be potion making stuff?
I'm not a huge Harry Potter fan but your enthusiasm is contagious and I love your videos! The perfect tonic for the weirdness of the real world. So glad I found your channel :)
Azkaban is needed to keep Dementors away from every one else and giving them the worse of the worse to feed on. Until they let morons decide who goes there.
Umm, people aren't sent to Azkaban forever. Sure, murdering someone and using any of the unforgivable curses on another human will give a one-way ticket there but people like the Gaunts was there for only some years.
I really dig the idea of an elite force of wizards landing on the island full of dementors, summoning charms and powerful defensive magic, only to then engage in the sorts of frolicking and merrymaking carefully calculated to cause their numbers to wane. “We are just ending our water-balloon fight, then we begin the hide and seek, just before the ice cream Sunday party and snuggles with puppies, sir.”
Abadon is actually pronounced avadon.. the Hebrew letter for b' can be pronounced like v' so... Also this word is actually derived from the word אבד (avad/abad) which is another Hebrew word for loss so abadon can also mean a great loss. But yeah it also means doom or dimise And dont @ me my first language is Hebrew 😂
@@masha7377 nope, he survived. also, Grindelwald escaped before they cut the tongue off, Abernathy had his toung cut off by macusa EDIT: Abernathy's page on the harry potter wiki said that he is an expert in transfiguration, and it was his transfiguration skills that were used to switch with Grindelwald. (he wasnt manipulated like other guards, he was actually loyal to Grindelwald) Original text: The screenplay just says "transforming", doesnt tell us whether it is polyjuice or transfiguration. grindelwald isnt listed as a user of polyjuice on the harry potter wiki (newt is listed there).
@@robk5969 that's clearer but one thing I really dislike is when you need to lean heavily on pottermore to understand or explain something in the books or films. The books were much better for this. If it's not in the texts it's not canon for me so the move to just fixing explanations in post, essentially, is really jarring. And I actually didn't hate the movie. Fantastic beasts needs to get better though. They could start by renaming it and not wasting time on adding beast scenes that add little to the story to justify the title.
Morbid question If no one wanted to be on the island, and all of the sentences were life, what did they do with the bodies? Who cleaned the cells? Who fed the prisoners? WHO CLEANED THE CHAMBER POTS!!!!!

Why, during this, did the relationship between seagulls and dementors cross my mind? Dementors are basically dark magic seagulls.

@@leozero_ maybe that's why Patronis (plural of Patronus) take the form of an animal. It's symbolic.
That is AWESOME. I will never be able to unsee that. I have an image of them nicking people's chips on Brighton Beach now.
Isnt Gaunt sentenced for a couple of years in Azkaban and then gets free?
Morfin spent 3 years in Azkaban, so yes.
isn't Arthur Weasley sent there for a short time too?... or am I imagining that?
sarah sahara I don’t remember Arthur being there. As Jay mentioned, Harris was sent there in Chamber of Secrets but I only ever remember Arthur staying at Saint Mungo’s after that bite.
@@loveland852 yeah I was wrong, it says somewhere that he visited Azkaban, and in the German version it sounded as though he had been sent there at some time (to me)
Marvolo and Morfin were released after serving their sentence for hexing Tom Riddle Sr and then fighting the Aurors. Morfin died in Azkaban after being sent there by Tom's machinations, while Dumbledore was trying to get his case appealed.
Small correction: The Ministry of Magic does NOT only give out life sentences to Azkaban. For example, I refer to Bagman's trial in the flashback scene of Goblet of Fire, where Crouch starts to recommend a sentence of several years.
Why does he call it the towel section?
@@starrchild254 there's an old video, in which he talks about the 42 uses of a towel and he called the comment section the "towel section" and it stuck 😄
Also for Morfin and Marvolo Gaunt, they only spent a few years there after attacking the ministery wizard
Sturgis Podmore was sentenced to 6 months. I'm sure there are more examples.
@@krisztinadoncseva1047which video? I’ve always been curious out it
I have always thought that dementors was actually the physical manifestation of depressions in the wizzarding world. What they leave behind of you after a dementors kiss have always sounded very much like extreme depression to me. Am I the only one?
Wait, now the big question: If Azkaban was still used as a prison after Voldemort, where the heck did the dementors go? It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows afterwards. Where did they go?
I just wrote a similar comment. I've always wondered about this.

2:14 THE DEPTHS OF HECK
How to keep it family friendly but still get your point across
Grindelwald escaped the Macusa. He switched himself with Abernathy while under their guard. Convinced Abernathy to get his tongue cut out without blabbing too (hence why Grindelwald had to fix Abernathy's tongue post escape). Cant imagine that trick works on a dementor.
Didn't Voldemort just end up taking them all over and using them as soldiers? As I recall Dementors ran rampant on England during the last book.
@@Illier1 sure. But saying the dementors shouldn't be used because they are in league with you enemy is a different argument than saying that the dementors weren't necessary because wizards were able to hold Grindelwald in a normal prison. They weren't.
They must really hate the prisoners

"Hey, America, where are your dementors?"
I can't say for sure, but I would probably hazard a guess at Guantanamo Bay
Here’s a question: what happens if dementors attack each other? Are they like Sarcastic Fringeheads, and just attack each other with their mouths?
Monroe Robbins they are the living embodiment of death kinda like a spirit with emotions or the ability to think
Harry Muskett, ah. So they arm wrestle.

The carriage scene wasn’t a “body switching power”, it was polyjuice that they each took at the same time, so it wore off at the same time. The proof is that at the beginning of the movie, Picquery says they cut out Grindelwald’s tongue. Later, Grindelwald replaces Abernathy’s severed tongue with a forked one. Also, during the escape scene Abernathy doesn’t speak once. (Maybe he does after he gets his tongue back, I’m not sure)
I was saying the same thing not only that but if you look at the wand the he uses to aperate to the bottom of the carriage it's the elder wand and I don't think grindlewald would ever give that wand to someone let alone to someone who has not proven themselves yet even if it was to break them out
I thought it was so obvious it was polyjuice potion...
Ah yes it’s so obvious that it was polyjuice potion... that’s why grindewald went through this weird convoluted plan to free his follower from prison. For some reason. Instead of just leaving him there. And escaping by himself with the blood pact. Makes sence...
And how did he get the potion to Grindelwald?
Ohhh cool ok 👌🏻
''only seem to be handing out life sentences?'' Hagrid? gets told it will only be ''a short stint'' plus what about Marvolo Gaunt and his son? they both got out after a few years...
@ULGROTHA oh yeah 100% they seemed to just go by how they feel at the time, i was just pointed out that he said there were no denominations in time and it was only life sentences being handed out
3 cases out of how many oh yeah A TON so yes I think his statement is accurate
Hagrid only gets told it'll be quick if they catch someone else.
“For a short stretch only,” said Fudge, not meeting Hagrid’s eyes. “Not a punishment, Hagrid, more a precaution. If someone else is caught, you’ll be let out with a full apology -”
So yeah, Fudge once again being the worst. If they wouldn't catch anyone or don't get some kind of answer as to what has been going on Hagrid would just have to stay in Azkaban.
@@ricocarpenter2189 so because it wasn't mentioned it never happened in any other cases? im just saying he knows they dont ONLY hand out life sentences so confused why he said it
@@cosmodewit yeah but we all know fudge is the worst anyway haha he knew Hargid didn't do it but he ''had to be seen to be doing something''

@@ashburch4779 IKR it was explained at the start of the video
@You’re Late! I know I'm just sticking to it
I thought the same thing. Bad weather means less muggles out and harder to see clearly. We know from the HP series when Hermione made Harry's Quidditch googles impervious to rain that wizards have a way for seeing better in rainy weather.
Grindelwald broke out of the first prison eventually and Voldemort broke in to him in the second.
A random person: breathes
The ministry:torcher for all time
Well it not 100% success rate more like 99.999999999999857% as Sirius black and Barty Crouch Jr escaped then a few year late it just became a failure with a mass breakout
All of which happened in the span of just a handful of years. With a tiny bit of rounding, relatively speaking, it was still around 300 years of 100% success.
in the case of Crouch Jr, he got help from both of his parents, and Crouch Sr was a ministry official
But who knows how many others escaped undetected, like Crouch Jr. 🤔🤔🤔

Big flaw man. Grindelwald was waiting there. He wasn’t held as a prisoner since he was posing as the macusa agent. He wanted to make a dramatic escape with the minister of magic there. Most of his stuff his just for show in order to manipulate.
Samuel Musser, I agree. The only way this breakout tactic makes sense is if Grindelwald is making decisions in order to build the legend of his own power, making himself into a perceived unstoppable foe. Dumbledore's continued existence is the biggest threat to this plan in two ways; First: Albus is a very talented and powerful wizard in his own right and Second: He is essentially the only person alive who truly knows what Grindelwald is actually capable of accomplishing.
I could've sworn the ministry was able to control the dementors. Which is why Hogwarts was told a fair warning that the dementors would be playing host for a while until they're able to find and capture Sirius. Also in Order of Phoenix, when Harry gets brought to the ministry, he asks why the dementors were even there in the muggle world, and the ministry comes back at him by saying dementors weren't stationed there in the first place
There is evidence that suggests that there are other sentences of time in Azkaban.
“If the Ministry and Voldemort are behind Snape it’ll be a choice between staying and teaching, or a few nice years in Azkaban - and that’s if they’re lucky”(Deathly Hallows, p. 226).
This proves that life isn’t the only known sentence in Azkaban because even Harry, known for needing Ron to provide wizarding world facts, thought of time in Azkaban in terms of years.
(Sorry if someone else quoted this. I’m not trying to copy)
Wait wait wait could Azkaban be the Bermuda Triangle? Not based on any facts/research, it's just that it's a triangle and ships were "lost" there and it wasn't on any maps. Just throwing it out there
KamThings it’s also built in the shape of a triangle
Never mind you said it was a triangle already. My bad
Cool idea. Sadly the geography doesn't quite work, as the Bermuda triangle is the area between Florida, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico; and Azkaban is located somewhere in the North Sea (East/North-East of England).
Well it could also be another spot using magic to hide/trap stuff
Maybe there are some Dark Wizards vanishing ships and planes for fun?
Why wasn’t the wizard allowed to play quidditch
He was azkabanned

The People vs Ilai’s Magic:

Also him: proceeds to explain how he is right
Me 10 minutes later: *still laughing about the “brolf” joke*
MACUSA wasn’t successful in holding Grindelwald. He switched places with Abernathy through transfiguration. Thus, why he had to give Abernathy a new tongue in the flying carriage.
Lupin was great at brolf, he was well know for his howl in ones.
Groan
I wanted to add to the puns but i coldn't think of anything
you should do a video on magical creatures/plants, and how muggles never see them/be able to use the plants and potions, especially if they live on the same universe
Something I’ve always wondered was how more wizards haven’t escaped Azkaban. So you know how Sirius’s wand has runes all over it? Well he supposedly carved them into his wand while he was at Azkaban, which means he must have his wand while at Azkaban. And what creatures guard Azkaban? Dementors. What spell can deflect Dementors? The Patronus Charm. And there is no way that not one prisoner knows how to make a patronus. And the only thing I can think of that would disprove my theory is if there is some spell or potion or something that makes a wand not usable in that location or makes it so that a person can’t cast a spell in that location. Also I know you may be thinking ‘but wait if there are so many dementors someone may not be able to cast the spell.’ Well actually no. In Prisoner of Azkaban Harry deflects 100+ dementors. So there may be more that 100 dementors at Azkaban but if there are multiple people who can produce a patronus then I bet they could do it.
Cool nice theory 0o0
To summon a patronus you have to have hope and faith. The presence of dementors takes that away.
"Yes, members of the enemy army, you may guard your former allies! That seems like a really good idea." - Just point #394 why the Wizarding world makes no freakin' sense.
I think Grindelwald just let them keep him there, and thought he was being kept at MACUSA because he's 'special.'
Edit: **I** thought they kept him ...
Trinka B Obviously not.
@@Ranger1812 why 'obviously'?
They didn't hold him. He escaped and made a body double from one of the staff and assumed that man's identity. Am I wrong?
@@BrunoLejdfelt True, but the guy who swapped with him was sitting there waiting, letting him be 'captured' until the wheels had turned.
@@BrunoLejdfelt They held him until it was a good time for him to escape = he let them hold him there
This is crazy, I discussed the ethics of Azkaban on my channel just a few weeks ago. Awesome timing! I kind of answer your question to Ben in that video, but ultimately what it comes down to, I think, is one's philosophy of what a prison is meant to do. Azkaban's success rate during the era of the dementors is undeniable.
Kevin Lohmann I loved your video on Azkaban and prison ethics.
I'd say prison is supposed to be for reform really. if someone is never going to be let out you'd be better off just excuting them. well unless you're particularly sadistic or prone to miscarriages of justice.
Reform vs keep locked up is a very grey area, some people can be reformed and some people trick you into thinking they are just so they get out again.
Best would be if you could reform everyone, but that is not the case
@@TGPDrunknHick Except dying is easy. There's no punishment there. Your life ends and that's it.
The punishment in prison is knowing you will never escape, never achieve anything else, and being completely devoid of all hope.
@@lyntonfleming and your point? unless you intend to reform someone all you do by putting them in prison is waste resources. it's pointless. to leave someone to rot isn't justice. it's revenge and all it does is blacken the heart and waste food and manpower better off somewhere else in society.
Because they can demenTORMENT the prisoners
No.the puns are deadly
Naughty Niffler Well DADs a dad joke!
Off to azkaban you naughty niffler for making a terrible pun
That is the most bad pun
Okay everyone is hating on your pun but i'm just applauding it
"We do play golf, it's on broomsticks, it's called Brolf"
I think that if the people in Azkaban really deserved it, then the dementors were worth it. But then again they do trap some pretty innocent people so maybe they should have a prison for “Not so Bad Prisoners.”
Agreed, remember they sent Hagrid there in Chamber of Secrets in the ministries (usual) imcompetent attempt to control the situation at Hogwarts.
I feel bad for him everytime i think about it, poor cuddly Hagrid probably crying about Hermione petrified, people blaming Harry and Fang all alone wondering where he is.
There may be different amounts of ‘guarding’ at Azkaban depending on your crime; Sirius was one of the most heavily guarded prisoners, so I always imagined Dementors basically posted outside his door.
That said, no, pretty sure that nothing is worth having Dementors around, especially when they don’t effect the most horrible people the same as normal people!

Azkaban isn’t solely used for life sentences. The Gaunts (marvolo and morphin) were sent to Azkaban for a few months(marvolo) or a few years (morphin) but not life.

Azkaban is needed to keep Dementors away from every one else and giving them the worse of the worse to feed on.
Until they let morons decide who goes there.
Umm, people aren't sent to Azkaban forever. Sure, murdering someone and using any of the unforgivable curses on another human will give a one-way ticket there but people like the Gaunts was there for only some years.

I really dig the idea of an elite force of wizards landing on the island full of dementors, summoning charms and powerful defensive magic, only to then engage in the sorts of frolicking and merrymaking carefully calculated to cause their numbers to wane.

Body switching? I thought it was polyjuice potion.
I think that Abernathy is very skilled and will continue to play a part in the next movie. Perhaps Grindelwald taught him advanced transfiguration.
