ahaha pain
It's a weird irony that, as loathsome as Voldemort giving Lily to Snape would have been (and wouldn't SHE have just been in the frame of mind to fall for Snape after losing James and Harry!), it was still one of the few things ol' Voldy ever tried to do for someone other than himself. It was sick and evil, but it was intended as an unsolicited reward for Snape's loyalty. How ironic that the closest to kind Voldemort ever got was what destroyed him.
Not exactly it was more like let me reward my servant because he was loyal not some kindness
Snape just wanted to always protect lily even if he did not end up with her
I think he always knew Lily would refuse he just wanted to make sure he didn't lose Snape to Dumbledore.
Unsolicited is inaccurate. That scene where in desperation Snape goes to Dumbledore for aid Snape specifically tells Dumbledore that he asked Voldemort to spare her. So he was asked, but actually attempting to fulfill that request was essentially Voldemort patting a loyal dog on the head.
It's less uncommon than you might think. Voldemort was no fool. He knew that he had to reward his followers and allies to retain their loyalty. Besides that, I think he gained a certain pleasure from bestowing gifts like a 'generous lord'. Those loyal to him (and actually competent...yes, looking at you, Lucius) were duly rewarded when they did well. Bellatrix's loyalty was so highly valued that she...er...gained the "greatest" of rewards, and sweet mercy, that is not something I ever want to imagine.
The whole point of Voldemort's allure for the Death Eaters, besides the cult/racism stuff, is that by following him, the Death Eaters and their followers gain power. That could mean magical power, learning the Dark Arts from the greatest dark wizard of them all. That could mean wealth. That could mean status and influence. For Fenrir Greyback, that meant victims. Voldemort used those hooks to spur his followers on, to motivate them.
Manipulating the greed of the Death Eaters was a far better way to control them than slavish devotion or fear. That's why so few Death Eaters defected over the course of the war, although as you say, ironically, that caused the most powerful Death Eater of them all to defect to the Order of the Phoenix.
Voldemort understood greed and desire, but he never understood love, something far greater, more powerful and more terrible than any dark magic he wielded.
I always wondered what had happened if Tom had used any other spell to get rid of Lilly. Like a full body bind or a simple yet strongwilled stunning curse. She was still willig to die, would that suffice to protect Harry? Or does she have to die in order for the spell to work?
Do you think the hogwarts express is used year round for residents of hogsmead? A none magical alternative to getting to the village
That's kinda expensive tho (expensive to maintain) I mean if you have magic such as floo powder and appration amongst other means to travel theres no real reason to use the train.
I guess they could, but I'm not sure why they would considering they could just aparate or use broomsticks.
It would be like us choosing between a horse and carriage or a car, the amish and a very small number of people would choose the horse over the car.
Even the persons who cannot apparate, or want to go to a place where there is no chimneys have the Knight Bus that can cross the country in like a few hours (most of them passed at deposing other peoples XD), while the Hogwarts Express have one destination, London, and took a whole day to get to it ^^'
The residents of hogsmead probably just apparate.
@@gamebreakers2535 I could see an advantage if you wanted to travel to a place like London, because it's so busy. What if you apparated right in front of some muggles? Then with floo powder you would have to know some one with a fire place in London to go to or some businesses might have a fireplace you could go through like the like the Leaky Cauldron. So I could see the train being a useful mode of transportation. In the 6th book Harry and Tonks have to jump off the train because it's headed back to London and the train seems deserted so Idk if that means that they just store the train at Kings Cross or if it does go back to be used for other things.
THEORY: When Harry runs from the library using the invisibility cloak in PS, he happens to run into Snape and Filch RIGHT before finding the mirror of Erised. Are we supposed to think Snape just happened to be patrolling the halls in that specific place at that specific time? I think NOT! I think Snape knew about the mirror and would go to visit Lily every so often!
Mmm... I don't think so because remember what Dumbledore said about the danger of the mirror and how wizards have wasted away in front of it? Snape was just as clever as Dumbledore (or very close at least) and he'd know the dangers too. Also, I'm not sure if he'd want to see his greatest desire in the mirror because, in the end, it'd be impossible. Lily was already dead. I'd think that'd be more painful than anything else. Personally, I think Dumbledore had Snape and co patrolling around there because of how dangerous the mirror was. He didn't want Harry (or any other student) messing around with it so he set extra guards on it. I bet the other teachers were probably ordered to keep an eye on it too. Snape just happened to be the one on duty at that time in the book.
I agree, I think that Snape always saw the life that James and Lily had in the mirror - except him as James
Hmmmmmm yes
I think they did show that in the movie, Snaps standing at the mirror for a split second.
@@TheTytoGaurdian I think knowing what it is would be all Snape needs to not fall to far into it but I 100% go a few times
As Dumbledore told Harry way back when, "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities". There was a choice to live, and a choice to die, and Lily chose her son over herself.
james chose to protect his family i dont understand how lily choosing to die unarmed is treated any differently than james doing the same thing but fighting back
He wasn't given the option of stepping aside, he died fighting so it doesn't "count" as sacrifice.
Yeah JK Rowling has confirmed this already, so I'm not sure how this is even a "theory."
@@alexlazzerly3677 yeah I'm with you I don't really think this is a theory. but then again it is something that JK Rowling said and I'm not so willing to count what she says is canon.
@@thebigvee137 I know it's become fun to mock JK Rowling for obvious reasons, but I mean she did literally come up with the world.
@@alexlazzerly3677 they do it a lot. I love them and I'll never Unsubscribe but one of the biggest problems that comes with trying to keep a "dead"/ alive series like Harry Potter relevant is that since there's no new info from the creator, we eventually run out of conversation topics so we're left with the dregs
@@alexlazzerly3677 There is a concept called "Death of the Author" which basically means once a work is published, the author's input on anything not explicitly written into the work already shouldn't hold any more weight than anyone else's theories regarding the story. Especially these days where it's super easy to ask authors questions about their work on social media, we often like to treat their word as final, but I think there's value in not holding the creator of the work in such high regards that it precludes everyone else from being able to make their own interpretations just because "the author said X so now that's fact."

J sounds like someone advertising a competition prize:
"A second soul courtesy of Voldemort."
Wait a second I have just realized how long the wizards were at war. Molly and Arthur Weasley were rushing to get married and had Bill after that. There has to be at least seven years between Bill and Ron (probably more). Put into consideration that Ron is slightly older than Harry. Harry is slightly older than one when Voldemort attacks. That adds up to at least nine years and probably more! I don't know if this is obvious but I am just now realizing it.
Isn't it mentioned that it was about 11 years, when Dumbledore and McGonagall wait for Hagrid?
@@susanbones3381 Maybe it is. Judging by your username I am not going to argue

Edit: 331 Likes, that's awesome!
I’d like to know this too, like Dumbledore’s portrait (and the other former heads) help Snape in Deathly Hollows and also like, why doesn’t everyone just have portraits of their dead loved ones?
If I remember correctly, it is explained in the Cursed Child but that isn't cannon so the answer is up for debate.
@@abepanteli823 yes it is explained but the book that shall not be named isn’t canon🙃
also is it just portraits that are sentient? why arent things like news paper pictures and stuff sentient
I am pretty sure that they aren't. We know that Dumbledore and the other former heads had to teach the portraits about themselves, so I would say "probably not"
If there’s one thing the world of Harry Potter has taught us - never ever try to fight prophecies. You’ll end up making it worse 😂😂😂

@@Tasha9315Ig you need to be Lily for be given chance to step aside...

THEORY: I think that Dumbledore knew about the love protection thingy because of Leta Lestrange, hear me out, Leta sacrificed herself for Newt and Theseus even though Grindelwald gave her the OPTION to join him, but she declined, BOOM, that's why her character and death aren't useless or unimportant, that is how Dumbledore learns about the love protection. FULL CIRCLE!
(also, before anyone says that in order for the love protection to work the sacrificer and the person who gets to live have to share the same blood... that's NOT true- remember that harry gave the same love protection to the whole school with his 'death'? k yeah)
also, any thoughts or theories?
I posted the same thing, without specifics.
Interesting theory may see if this pans out in the next movies kinda hope it does

I think I've seen the same thery from SCB before 🤔
You don't have to share the same blood. You just have to be closed to the blood that saved you.

I missed these vids there’s been no Harry Potter vids since like December
IKR
I know I haven’t watched because I mainly watch that and not marvel
Yay a harry potter video!
I’m stuck rewatching old ones 😂
I mean honestly the fact that they’ve kept Harry Potter theories going for this long is no small feat. They’ve been doing these for years and I feel like eventually they are going to run out of lore to dissect. As sad as that makes me
I think the difference between Lilly and James's death is something like the difference between fighting off an intruder because they're in their home, or taking down a known criminal as a police officer would do (which James does), and literally taking a bullet explicitly meant for someone else (which Lily does for Harry).
I think it is because the Abada Kedavra wasn't as strong when he used it against lily. Perhaps Snape's request made him hesitate for a millisecond. Perhaps not having second thought or regrets, but just a minuscule bit of distraction. That made his spell be just faulty enough for the sacrifice to be stronger

WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME THIS EARLIER
I am so glad other people are FINALLY reading the Name of the Wind! It's an underappreciated and fantastic book, please read the second one and eventually, when it comes out, the third book!
There is one other factor here: the wizard or witch themselves. This is still magic, at the end of the day, and quite possibly the most powerful magic that exists. This is not something that any old wizard or witch can do, regardless of circumstance. Lily is noted to be extraordinarily gifted with charms and an exceptional witch in general. Moreover, her very nature leans into this sort of magic; she is naturally compassionate and loving, remaining friends with Snape far beyond the point anyone else would've. This is the sort of magic that she may even have a natural talent for.
Harry doesn't have his mother's gift for charms, but he is a gifted wizard, and in the ways that count, he is much like his mother. Harry's nature means that his Patronus is very powerful, and I'm willing to bet that Lilly's patronus was pretty darn strong too. All of that combined means that Harry, much like his mother, is able to use that same terrible magic to protect the people he loves during the battle.
And here's the best part: this is magic that, I think, not even Dumbledore could use. It's just not who he is, not in his nature. The same goes for James, arguably. It requires a very specific kind of person, a very rare kind of person. That's why, ultimately, only two people had magic stronger than Voldemort's; Lily and Harry, and why only they could beat him. Even sixteen years later, Lily's magic played a crucial role in saving Harry's life one more time and ensuring Voldemort's final defeat.
" Love is the answer" sounds like the most childrens show cliche BUT I LOVE IT
Yeah, Steven Universe is awesome
The full answer is that James was trying to fight Voldemort but Lily just stepped up to Voldemort and died. Plus Voldemort was going to spare Lily but James was going to die anyways and Lily chose to die and James had no choice but to die.
Trope.
It has not lost its meaning, so it’s not a cliche.
@pretty angel
MatPat proposed “Laser Beams”.
This is why Neville couldn't have been the chosen one. Lily was only given a choice because of Snape. Neville's mom wouldn't have been given that choice and so Neville would have died.
I was hoping he would say that. So many people still think Neville could have been the Chosen One.
This is true but I've been people say how it could've gone differently and that Voldemort offered Alice to stand aside cus she was pureblood but then that doesn't make sense as James was pureblood but Voldemort killed him without second thought. But I do think that if Voldemort chose to mark Neville as his equal then something would've happened cus of the power of the prophecy.
Maybe not, maybe they would have a most trust worthy secret keeper
and i think, Voldy being Voldy, he still would have killed the potters just to be safe
@@chosengirlonfire I think it works the other way around. Not that because of the profecy something would happen so neveille would survive but that voldemort was destined to choose harry becasue he had a chance of survival because snape loves for lily and everything told in the video.
in this you said something like “snape is a pure blood supremacist and is love with his muggleborn best friend, but hates the pure blooded James and Sirius “ and that’s like...i love that you put it together like that 🤎
*edited the first time because it aurocorrcted snape to snaps
Lily's protection didn't last forever. Harry had to be able to still call the Dursley's house home as his aunt was a blood relative of Lily's. Also, I believe it wore off when he came of age, that is why they had to fly out with the 7 potters before his birthday.
This
One thing I was always confused by is: if Harry is invincibile against Voldemort until he was 17 (and the proof that Harry indeed was invincible against Riddle comes in the first book, where just touching Harry causes the body he was co-hosting to die), and after Goblet Harry is indefinitely immortal against Voldemort, then what is the point to keep him at Privet Drive? The protection offered there only works against Voldemort, who already can't kill Harry
i thought the whole calling the Dursley's house "home" thing was extending Lily's protection to the house itself? so like, the death eaters couldn't even enter
is that fanon?
@@soluna4784 the protection was specifically protecting Harry from Voldemort, if Bellatrix wanted she could apparate in there and kill him
@@fedeeeeee yeah, specifically Voldy, i worded that wrong
But about the house thing
Is that fanon? I don't know if it is or not
You guys have the best voldy voice. Ya’ll should do an entire audiobook recording of the series. I would pay for and listen to that.
I think that this is an amazing theory. I think that James’s sacrifice didn’t save Harry because of the fact that James didn’t have a choice to die, but Lily did. So in a way, it’s Snape’s fault that James didn’t have a choice to die, because Snape didn’t ask for him to be spared, only Lily.
I agree with you except for the “Snape’s fault” because fault is putting the blame as if Snape was going to ever save him. Basically what I’m saying is Snape in no time line would have ever asked Voldemort to save him, so it’s less of “Snape’s fault” and more of Snape’s doing. Lily getting a chance was his doing, James not getting a chance wasn’t technically his fault because he didn’t specifically ask Voldemort to go after him (unless I’m remembering something wrong 🤷🏿♀️) so it can’t technically be his fault. Fault would be saying he was considering it, but we all know he would never consider helping James.
@@simluv.7483 the thing is he might’ve. Snape owed James his life at the time, so asking Voldemort to save both Lily and James, just to get rid of what he owed James, instead of saving Harry at his first quidditch match, would make sense.
@Griphook Flitwick I would think that would be the case.
@@cecilia.tarango9001 hmm I never thought of that, so maybe he did consider it, we all know Snape is a petty person, but for some reason I kinda enjoy it

James intended to fight Voldemort whereas Lily wasn’t going to defend herself. Same way as how Harry was able to come back because he went to the forest with the intent to not fight back.

J matches really well with the background today
Anyone else thinks that we should pay love to the “these socks are amazing” memory and make a series called “these masks are amazing”
Like if u agree
Could you do a video on Lily herself? You guys always come up with the best insights, details from obsure Pottermore pages and theories. It always bothered me that Lily is a super important character, but that we know pretty much nothing about her.
Her daughter was jealous, her parents were proud, she was muggle-born and a super crafted witch, Snape and James were found of her, she among Slugs favorite students, she married James, gave birth and her eyes to Harry, and died to save him. But did she had friends, hobbies, any personality traits beyond being nice, and not liking bullies nor racists, etc.
I cannot get over the fact that we never see Harry looking for the people in the photo album Hagrid gave him, or asking Hagrid or anyone else to know his parents more intimately (except this one time when he asked Remus and Sirius about his father being a bully). What kind of orphan doesn't try to learn more about his parents when handed all the opportunities and resources to do so?!?!?
Her daughter?
I 100% agree... it's choosing to sacrifice yourself when offered a chance to live that makes the difference...
Interestingly, that means Leta Lestrange's death absolutely has to have the same effect as Lily's, as Grindelwald gave her the chance to join him.
This came out a MINUTE ago and whoever disliked the video didn’t even watch it
bro
stop
And they had notifications on. And subed. What
I dislike this person
Have you seen that post that’s like I asked my little brother why he dislikes every RUclips video he watches, and he said “To keep them humble” 😂😂
Were they watched it the first time because this is been out twice this is just re-posting an old video
Autobots roll out
Literally when can we get Kingkiller theories I need this please
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEEEE.
Maybe it did. His sacrifice combined with Lily’s sacrifice may have strengthened the protection
The reason the sacrifice magic is ancient and known to exist is not because others survived the killing curse but more it could be harming and controlling charms such as Crucio was warded against. Don't forget after Harry's sacrifice none of Tom's spells could hold against the people Harry is protecting.
I thought it was because Lily CHOSE to do it, whereas James just outright died and had no choice. I think also Lily had living relatives, whereas James didn't and that's how the magic stuck around after Lily's sacrifice (then Dumbledore solidified the magic by taking him to the Dursleys)
I interpreted it more that its the choice not to fight back. James tries to hold voldemort off temporarily even without his wand whereas Lily and Harry didn't fight.
OH MY GOD. Your point that Voldemort would have died at the end of Goblet of Fire could be a whole video in itself. I don’t know how I never realized that!! Could you imagine how that scene would play out if all the death eaters just saw Voldemort come back to life and then immediately die 🤣
Who else would love a SuperCarlinBrothers narration of Harry Potter from Audible?
Me
Me
nah. Harry Potter audible NEEDS to be in British accent. It's one of the natural laws of the universe. Things in motion stays in motion, and Harry Potter will be narrated by an old British guy. Can't break the law or else the universe explodes
nightowl I’m fine with Jon or Ben doing their not-so-great British accents the entire time.
I would adore this
I don't think Snape joined the Death Eaters because of their pure blood view point. I think it was, a least for Snape, all about learning more about the dark arts from a powerful wizard. It is said, time and to me again how fascinated Snape was about the dark arts. That he knew more curses in his first year that any of the 7th years. The chance to learn from Voldermort would have been an opportunity for Snape. I doubt it was ever about the pure blood mind set. Even though Snape was in Slytherin, I'm sure he noticed how none of the Slytherins came to his aid when he was getting bullied by James, and Sirius. Lily was the only one to come to his defense. I mean why join a group full of cowards? The only benefit to Snape would be to learn from Voldermort, and being able to protect himself from people like his father, James and Sirius.
Fantasy stories that bring up a mother's sacrifice but always leave out the father just don't give good fathers enough credit.
My Theory: James’s sacrifice didn’t count for plot conveince.
lol
Coz JK was a single mum and stresses the mother & child connection in Harry Potter.

Love your videos, keep that good schtuff coming. 😉
Considering the part in OotP where Voldemort says it's old magic and he should've considered it as a possibility. I remember learning the reason why Muggles and Wizards are segregated is because they warred and the wizards retreated and disappeared from history altogether. Maybe a lot of wizards back then created this spell to protect their children. Lily's squib ancestor (since Muggleborns have squib ancestors who marry Muggles) could've been one of their descendents so it just came more naturally to her. Though anyone can learn it regardless of their ancestry.
Seriously? Don't lure people into the kingkiller chronicle without mentioning the massive wait for book 3 (it's been like a decade...)

Thank you for this public service message.
It may never come. Patrick Rothfuss wrote the first at his own pace and then hated the consumerism and pressure to produce the next book "The Wise Man's Fear." Who knows.
The author is an awesome dude and has shown up on D&D channels including Critical Role.
Isn’t the author also talking about a forth book in this universe?
I no longer recommended my favourite series. I refuse to be the person who creates frustration among my friends. Hurry up Patrick
Because James wasn’t given a choice
There are so many things I’ve had on my mind forever but haven’t found an answer too and I’m not kidding when I say you guys have been answering like every single one that I have, including this one lol. Love your vids😍
Voldemort did more to defeat Voldemort than Harry did. Gold.
That's the way it is with most narcissistic villains. They think they are invincible and overlook even the simplest of details. In this instance, Voldemort only looks at "power" and those too weak to seek it. He doesn't consider the "old magic" very powerful and admits he never looked into it at all.
I thought it was because James said ‘lily, take Harry and run!’ Implying that he was trying to save time to let them escape. Which I guess is still saving them, but I dunno it seems a little different. Anyways, I like this theory a lot better, and I think that this is one of my favorite theory’s of yours along with Draco’s Patronus, how to become animagi, and the one on poly juice potion. Man, that one was GOOD.
Snape's love for Lily after she's married is creepy. Even creepier after she's dead.
Not really it's actually rather sweet. Of course I'm a bit of a romantic who loves Princess Bride and Titanic.
Totally creepy. Let it go snape... let it go
Funny theory: snapes a necrophiliac????
never listen to the song marry me by Thomas Rhett it's literally about love for someone who is getting married to someone else lol
still a great song but if you think snapes love for lily after she's married is weird
It is midnight in London now and I saw it video and didn't care about sleeping lol. I love ur vid btw.
I bet J named his son Luke because he's waiting for the day when he can say "Luke, I am your father" facts
In Harry Potter everyone's afraid of saying Voldemort's name because it makes people remember the killing and torture and the constant state of panic. Now, I haven't read the books yet but from what I heard, they use sympathetic magic as their magic system in the "Name of the Wind" so saying the bad guy's name would like... empower him or something.
THEORY: The tale of the Deathly Hallows a prophecy, not a promise.
That night in Godric’s Hallow is truly a unique situation
"How do Harry!?" I was just thinking the same thing
If you like The Name of the Wind you should definitely check out The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson!
And at least Brandon Sanderson has a history of finishing series ^_^
Oh thank you for that recommendation. Awesome to know something that maybe could be akin to the king killer chronicles as we all wait for the third one. Cheers
Oh thanks!
When J started reading in Snape's voice I cracked up and I seriously couldn't stop laughing for the rest of the video
Hey, and 4k videos now! Thanks, brothers!
I've been listening to Harry Potter again and I'm still surprised at all of the twists.
When he says it’s old magic, if it was used before that doesn’t necessarily mean it protected against the killing curse before. It could be protecting against a plethora of things the book doesn’t spill the details on
:O
Hope everyone's having a great day!
Thank you. I hope you're having a good day too.
My day just got 100x better after this video came out :)
So does this mean Neville could never be the chosen one? If Voldemort only gave Lily a chance to live because of Snape then he probably won’t give the same to Neville’s mom, therefore no sacrificial magic?
There would have been a way. Prophecies gonna prophecy.
Neville's parents were tortured into insanity after Voldemort's first demise.
Circumstances might have played out differently, but similarly enough.
these voice impressions are killing me! 😂 especially the nasaliness at 7:40 it’s on point
What do wizarding children under the age of 11 do if both of their parents work? (Like Harry and Ginny's or Ron and Hermoine's kids)
J looks like he's about to chop wood or cook bbq
Theory- did Peter Pettigrew decide to come back as a ghost?
What turn of events would have happened if Lupin took his wolfsbane potion the night of the shreaking shack? Why couldn't harry and hermione have gone back maybe an hour more and fixed that as well?
Well the main issue is that time travel for the Harry Potter series (at least in the original books) doesn't actually change anything. It's stuff you already did just simultaneously before and now. Lupin transforming meant it was already too late.
Examples of this include Harry's patronus that he was convinced was his dad until he realized it must have actually been himself. And Hermione breaking the pots with rocks. Both happened the first time, it just wasn't clear how or why until we saw those two on their past adventure.
How about theories like
-why did lily change her mind about James? She seemed to honestly dislike him in the 5th year. Did the lost friendship between her and Snape impact the decision? Was she just hollow and decided to give him a try since he was popular and rich (that would deeply hurt her saint like portrait in the books) did James safe lily from the death eater pals of Snape and showed her he had the right values? Did she simply loose a bet to James who wagered a date and then showed her that he was worthy of her love? And how would he be able to do that... I like to theorise about that with my nerd friends and there are quite a lot possibilities :D would love to hear your ideas
I’m going to predict the answer before I watch the video, the reason Lily’s sacrifice saved Harry but James’s sacrifice didn’t was because Lily was given the choice to stay alive but sacrificed herself for Harry and James wasn’t given a chance to stay alive meaning that he couldn’t save Lily or Harry
How do portraits work? Are they just an imprint of someone, or are they actually alive?
They're not alive. It's just a spell to make the portraits think and speak like the person on the painting.
I have been wondering why James’s sacrifice didn’t count since I got into the series! Glad that i finally got an answer!
I just love that iconic: "Hey brother!"
Your videos are always a bright spot and high point in my week and life.
I see a SCB video I come running and This is an excellent question!
My immediate thought is because he didn't have a choice, Volde gave Lily the option to move but she chose to sacrifice herself, James was just avadacadavra'd out the way
my guess before watching this: "He chose not to... He wanted it to cause pain for Snape as his last laugh"
I laughed so much that I almost choked at the Snape impression at 7:39, wasn't expecting that voice at all.
Perhaps the reason that this particular time that this particular protection worked was due to the fact that Voldemort's soul was already used to being torn and easily attached itself to Harry which may have never happened in previous attacks of the same kind. Dumbledore did say that V's soul needed something to attach too but maybe this is the first time this brand of this magic has ever happened, keeping Voldy from dying himself from the rebounding curse.
