The Most EVIL Witch Nobody Talks About - Harry Potter Explained
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 дек 2022
- Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. While there are likely many WIZARDS that come to mind when you think of Harry Potter and EVIL - Gellert Grindelwald and Lord Voldemort to name a few - the title of most evil WITCH may not be quite so obvious. So, in this video, we’re going to be discussing why I believe that the most evil witch in the Harry Potter universe is...
Now, I know what you may be thinking. WHO in Merlin’s Beard is Gormlaith Gaunt?! Wouldn’t Bellatrix Lestrange be the obvious choice for most evil witch? How could a witch who many may not have even heard of deserve the title of the MOST evil witch? Could she possibly be MORE evil than Bellatrix, the literal mistress of Evil Reincarnate? (More on that in just a second.)
Well, of course, Bellatrix was a truly evil b- er, witch. She performed some incredibly cruel and heinous acts of magic - and non-magic, for that matter - in the name of being one of Lord Voldemort’s Death Eaters. In fact, the rumour is that Bellatrix was so devout to Voldemort and the Dark Arts that she actually fell IN LOVE and was intimate with the Dark Lord himself, producing a daughter named Delphi - taking the vows of a Death Eater quite above and beyond, if you ask me…But anyway, in addition to her ABSOLUTE loyalty to Voldemort, Bellatrix was also involved in some of the most disturbing acts of Dark Magic described throughout Harry Potter. For example, she took part in the torture of Aurors, Frank and Alice Longbottom, an act which drove them both mad and permanently landed them in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries for the remainder of their lives. She also committed many a murder, including that of beloved House Elf, Dobby, her own cousin, Sirius Black, and her niece, Nymphadora Tonks - and she did all this in the name of pure-blood supremacy and the Dark Lord’s vision of the wizarding world. So, yes, of course, it’s true - Bellatrix Lestrange was a monstrously evil witch.
But, hundreds of years before there was Bellatrix Lestrange, there was an Irish witch by the name of Gormlaith Gaunt, whose acts of unspeakable evil rival Ms. Lestrange’s to the point in which I must admit that, in my opinion, she was indeed the more evil of the two.

Thanks for watching all! Had you heard of this horrible witch? Comment below! And Merry Xmas!
No
Has anyone ever examined parseltongue? I mean what's so special about it? I get it's rare. It seems to be genetic. And it seems to travel down the Slytherin...but...my question is so what? I don't get what's special about it? What good does it serve to talk to serpentine creatures? They are not the strongest or most dangerous beasts in the Potterverse. Is it magical? Could a parselmouth control Nagini? Why didn't Nagini need to be spoken to in paseltongue? I just don't see why it was ever included at all....
I heard a little about her,but u filled in a lot of gaps I knew not.Merry Christmas to you sir.
@Aika it means they can also control basilisks which are among the most dangerous and lethal creatures in the wizarding world.
Life of lucious mofoy
Does anyone agree, instead of remaking Harry Potter they should focus on the different schools, I think that would be interesting
Would be better than the cursed child
Why not? I personally would like to see how they do things in other schools, like the wandless magic in ouagadou etc
That is the best idea I’ve heard for a remake. Would be awesome
I’m scratching that itch by just running a dnd style campaign set in the wizarding world, my campaign will be at Ilvermorny in Massachusetts
Durmstrang!!!
I would also think Delrores Umbridge could wear the title since she does horrific, evil things but justifying these by saying it is for the ministry.
Yea umbridge definitely stole the title from gaunt. And the minister allowed everything that she did. She reveled in her abilities when Voldemort took over the ministry because they let her have free reign. Gaunt was by no means less evil but stayed hidden and kept her niece prisoner through torture and the dark arts. Umbridge was publicly torturing everyone and anything that was a pureblood witch or wizard
Umbridge wore the horcrux and it has no effect on her. She is more evil than the most evil thing in the magical world. 🤣
@@OldSchoolGenius not only that but while she was wearing the horcrux and torturing people it gave her so much joy she could have a patronus sat next to her
She is Terrible..
However she was no worse than many others... and no where near as bad as some.
Yes. She could wear a horcrux and produce a patronous
I absolutely agree. Gormlaith was the worst. Bella trip was awful and killed her niece but she didn’t kill her sister and bro in law and steal their child only to abuse her too.
Yeah
I think Frank and Alice Longbottom would disagree. And Bellatrix was quite ready to sacrifice her nephew in HBP (telling her sister that she should be proud that Draco had been given a suicide mission was very low).
Bellatrix had a close relationship with both of her sisters but I don’t think Gormlaith had a close friendship with her sister… that’s probably a really big difference… and I think Bella died young than her tho lol
I don't think Bellatrix would have any problem to do all of that as well. I guess she didn't have the opportunity
Ayo I Agree
RIP to all the actor and actress that later on died after making Harry Potter univers as good as it is now.
Who did?
@@josephallsee3162 Something like 20+ actors from the movies have died
A total of 23 Actors have died since the Philosopher's Stone movie was first released. Besides the obvious passing of Richard Harris (Dumbledore), other notable deaths include Alan Rickman (Snape), Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid), Richard Griffiths (Vernon Dursley), Helen McRory (Narcissa Malfoy), and John Hurt (Ollivander).
All great actors, many taken well before their time.
So true. That being said, have you seen Harry Mellick (Dudley) in Ballad of Buster Scruggs or The Pale Blue Eye? That guy is one hell of an actor... I think he's going to blow up in the next few years.
Agreed RIP to all the good Actors and Actresses that both made that great Movie Series and the many that have died from others.
4:57 she was not an ancestor of Salazar, he was hers. She was his descendant.
I think he misspoke. Good thing you pointed that out.
He still got that OG copy of Chamber.
A note about Slytherin's lineage...because of the incomplete records of the time, isn't it likely, with all the pureblood families being inter-related, that most magical families carry traces of Slytherin's genes? Sure, the snake talk was probably lost over time, but with the habit of prioritizing the family name through the lines of the _sons,_ they tend to forget about the _daughters,_ except when one was of age to marry a cousin. If there was no cousin available, she probably married into some other pureblood family. It would only be with the constant cousin marriage that the snake talk stayed in the family's line, and their near constant refusal to marry any but a close relative to ensure pure-blooded stature, but they'd forget about those other daughters early on. There's probably traces of Slytherin genetics all over the place, especially if you include the idea that not every witch or wizard is going to remain faithful before or after marriage.
The fact of getting married only with cousins greatly restrains the parseltongue as much as one can imagine that given their desire to keep their pure blood they are even ready to make marriage between brother and sister.
Some who have this gene but are nice may choose not to have children so as not to pass it on.
But in any case if you are a descendant of Salazar you will necessarily be a parseltongue.
@@MrJoueurdusalon I think you are slightly misinterpreting what I am saying there...
@@ZeoViolet What I mean is that parseltongue is not lost after X generations, which you seem to say the opposite.
@@MrJoueurdusalon My comment was more along the lines of "if you aren't around snakes much, you don't know you have it" which, in a sense, can lead to it being lost....at least until some weird Muggle kid comes along because his grandmother was a squib kicked out of her family for not being able to perform magic. After I learned that attendance at Hogwards was not compulsory, then I pictured some poor muggleborn kid being denied the chance to learn magic because their parents said no and send him to the Muggle world instead, and if he's lucky, he gets rich snakebreeding or doing snake performances, but not able to tell people he can literally talk to snakes.
@@MrJoueurdusalon So what I didn't get around to explicitly saying, there's probably enough holes in Slytherin's early family tree to create some...interesting things.. Hell there is for any pureblood family that saws off the bad parts by kicking them out of the Wizarding world or otherwise suppressing one type of power to favor another, but you get my point.
I would love a Harry Potter film with The story of Merlin and Morganas past and rivalry it would be very interesting imo
There’s one thing I can’t stop thinking about here and it’s that both Gormlaith and Bella acts through relationships and can’t really be compared in their evil to Grindelwald or Voldemort. As we know those to wanted to rule and I don’t know if there was an evil witch who identified as evil and wanted to bend the wizarding world to their will, except maybe Umbridge
There was morgana who was Merlin’s nemesis and she’s the most powerful by far and tried to actually start her own rebellion against muggles it’s just not very well touched on
Because females act off emotions and that what fuels them. Not power like men. In real life this is true to. If you disagree just look at history
@@mathewkanapilly796 which once again shows how overdue a TV series or another movie series is about Merlin, Morgana and the four Founders of Hogwarts. See more of their motives (especially Salazar), their relationships, their background and what kind of Wizards and Witches they were. It would be an opportunity to fill up some plotholes and grant more insight into the world and a deeper look into the past.
Stuff I never understood like Slytherin wants Pure-Bloods but accepts Half-Bloods? Merlin, Snape and even Voldemort himself were Half-Bloods which kinda goes against Slytherins values. When a Half-Blood has one magical and one muggle parent, aren't they if we follow that logic theoretically worth less than the offspring of a Pure-Blood that married a Muggle-Born? I mean it has two magical parents instead of one afterall. Wouldn't that make Muggle-Born Witches and Wizards a better Partner for Pure/Half Bloods? Better than a normal Muggle of course. And you would produce something more than a Half-Blood - you technically have a 3/4 Blood then?
Also If a pure blood Wizard marries a muggle-born Wizard is the pure blood worth less in the eyes of the supremacists? But muggleborns are still Wizards? And they accept Half-Bloods? Would their offspring be "wizardy" enough to be elected a Slytherin (or for that matter even a Death Eater), if a mudblood is a parent? It theoretically should. If we go after what we know it should be more frowned upon to marry a Muggle than a Muggle-Born Witch or Wizard. A Halfblood is theoretically less of a Wizard than the offspring of a Pure-Blood and a Mud-Blood but somehow Muggle-Borns are the most hated Wizardkind of the Purists. They should think very little of Half-Bloods as well - I mean the superior Wizard decided to mix their pure magical blood with Muggle-Blood and therefore forever made his bloodline "muddy".
Those are things that need clarification because the more you think about it the less sense it makes. The whole Basilisk situation is also something that isn't clarified enough imo. Also it seems kinda stupid and extra for Slytherin to do that. If it attacks Muggle-Borns and not Half-Bloods, how does it know? It should theoretically smell the proportion of Muggle-Blood. Which would mean that the Basilisk is more of a protection against Muggles instead of a weapon against some students. Which would make sense given that Salazars hatred was against Muggles for persecution of Wizard-Folk for centuries and not specifically against Muggle-Borns. I understand that Salazar wouldn't trust them at all because they are between the worlds and could betray the Wizarding World but anyway I think the Basilisk is more of a protection against Muggle-Invasions instead of a hitman for Muggle-Born students.
They definetly have enough material to go into the story of the founders. And a lot of things need to be clarified so we don't depend too much on fanfiction and headcanon because we lack information.
@@mathewkanapilly796 If you look at the history of early accounts of the story of Merlin and Arthur and Camelot you see that originally Morgana was helpful and ambiguous not evil and not a villain. It was just when Christian religion tended to depict her that way. Also where does it say she was trying to rebel against the Muggles I’ll have to find that
Dolores was more evil than Voldemort or Grindelwald.
Neither of them could produce a Patronus charm because neither of them could bring a memory of sheer joy and happiness to the forefront of their minds.
Umbridge could produce a fully formed cat Patronus because she actually enjoyed torturing people, children included.
I wonder if we may get more info on Morgana Le Fey in the HP universe 🤔, she was the enemy of Merlin and my theory is that she most likely was a student of the French school of magic or a transfer to Hogwarts.
Original Morgana was a necromancy student in a Christian convent in England, so I'd expect some inferi
Most likely Ravenclaw, Merlin was a Slytherin.
Btw it was normal to marry your cousins in the British Wizarding families since the community is so small. The Gaunts were especially fanatical cause they took this a step further. If you actually look at the family tree they would result to sibling marriages. Tom Riddles grandparents were actually sibling
Yes I believe it's even mentioned that the only reason the Malfoys weren't super inbred was because they tended to be involved in muggle politics and so occasionally married half bloods to keep things fresh, though Lucius and Narcissa were cousins since the Malfoys were mentioned to have married into the black family at least twice in recent generations. Sirius in order of the Phoenix mentions how his family the Blacks practiced inbreeding as well since they were such blood purists, and he suspected that likely contributed to their notorious madness. It's very likely most of the sacred 28 are inbred at least those that were against marrying muggles or half bloods. Draco kinda rebelled though with his marriage since while he married Astoria Greengrass who was a pure blood and from a noble house his parents didn't approve because she wasn't from the sacred 28.
The Targaryens of the Wizarding World
They sound just like the Hapsburgs. Intermarry too much to keep the bloodlines pure, resulting in too much inbreeding.
Gaunt definitely is, but I think Umbridge could also vie for the title. Hope you had a wonderful holiday. 😊
When you consider how Gormlaith was easily struct down by a poisoned arrow to the heart. It makes me wonder why nobody from the Ministry, Hogwarts or allies of Harry didn't think to hire a sharpshooter with a military grade sniper rifle to take Voldemort out? We know that the Death Eaters would never resort to employing muggles for their own purposes, but for anyone who is muggle-born, who have watched military or police themed action films and TV, they should have considered recruiting a muggle that is special forces who could one shot Voldemort from a distance. As far as we know for all his dark magic and power, Voldemort isn't immune to taking a bullet to the head. Like Gormlaith his body can die, and even if he gets revived again, so long as he gets taken out even just momentarily then the Death Eaters would lose their will to fight, giving the good guys an big advantage.
Wizards look down on killing, which is why the killing curse is unforgivable, and why Voldemort was so feared. Using the killing curse causes irreparable damage to the soul, and Voldemort handed it out like candy. Couple that with the fact he had seven horcruxes, Voldemort wasn't just a person, he was basically a lich. He was an eternal evil with such a terrifying legacy of murder and torture that most wizards were terrified of even saying his name. They didn't use muggle weapons because, one, it would martyr Voldemort to the pureblood supremacists, and muggle weapons are vastly inferior to magic. A wand can cause explosions, freeze people in place, transfigure guns into harmless animals, and even create magical shields.
@@TheFuronMothership if they see it coming
@@TheFuronMothership Liches can be killed, just destroy their phylactery.
Also depending on the distance a sniper's bullet is impossible to hear. So Voldemort and his minions wouldn't hear it.
@@Knightwolf1994 Voldemort just happens to be a lich with 7 phylacteries, the majority of which nobody knew were, and the lot of which were hidden all over the wizarding world.
They could probably put two and two together. One tracking spell later, and the sniper is faced with half a dozen angry, murderous Death Eaters.
Or they could have ordered a group of top aurors to sign up for special forces, they get good duplicate few sniper rifles, sneak off after erasing the memories of their commanding officers, and then amp those sniper rifles with magic.
How about Morgan Le Fay? Unfortunately there are numerous stories about her, but some of them she's a healer, and then most of them she's incredibly dangerous. But she is generally portrayed as being evil. I just don't know where her evil scales to Gormlaith (and keep in mind, if Merlin was real in the Harry Potter universe, then almost certainly Morgan Le Fay was).
She was on the cards, in the lore, she was a necromancer
I read the mists of Avalon so she will never be anything but what she was in there
It's interesting too because Merlin is noted in the HP universe to have been a Slytherin, so I'm curious if she went to Hogwarts and if so, what house
@@radioactive_sunflowerz2450
Ravenclaw, Necromancy is the curiosity of knowledge and used by evil wizards to turn into a lich. Lockhart was a Ravenclaw. Not all evil wear black roses but the raven is at the funeral.
Wait, why not Morgan le Fay? She was Merlin's nemesis...kinda feel like she would have been quite evil AND powerful.
She'd be my vote too. Would love to get more Harry-Potter-cannon details on the terrible acts this version of the character committed, or what made her an understandable antagonist.
Probably because we have basically no information about her in the hp universe
@@N1korasu Well they regard Merlin as the greatest wizard of all time.
She was his nemesis and evil.
There is no indicator he ever 'beat' her.
If you go off the popular fan theory that the HP universe Merlin and other such figures are the same as our mythos...well, yea, strong evil-witch for sure.
@@ryanbennett2806 ok but that gets us a 2 second video because while fan theory is fun it isn't canon
@@N1korasu Pretty sure it would take a bit to cover Morgan le Fay. Her mythos would be about the same as Merlin in terms of length and depth.
I suppose the other candidate is Morganna le Fey but everyone knows about that one, I do wonder how her in universe lore differs from Arthurian legend though
Thank you for the wonderful deductions, always spot on.
Video idea for you to do:
What additional effects do spells have that are not seen in the movies? For instance, what else can the patronus charm do besides ward off dementors?
I was actually about to go to sleep now but when i got this notification i immediately watched through all of this haha
Your voice is so comfortable to listen to
Thanks for your incredible videos
Geez. This is why there needs to be some kind of series on witches and wizards we haven’t seen before. Great video.
Now I have to admit something, I would be a fan of watching a multiple film about the setting up of Ilvermorny school.
I think Umbridge was/is the most evil witch. She had the support of the Ministry of Magic to back up her barbaric practices while her time at Hogwarts. Umbridge was never questioned by the Ministry for her foul behavior. And her little giggle laugh is just icing.
Fascinating, and very well done!
I still think that Umbridge is the most vile, evil witch in the Potterverse.
Salazar Slytherin is actually Herpo the Foul.
Since he can’t die and his Horcrux was unknown and never recovered, he would systematically go from place to place after a temporary period of time, so no-one would get suspicious of his longevity and lack of expected aging.
good theory one i would have never thought of, the closest to that idea was in the star trek t.o.s episode "requiem for methuselah" where an immortal named flint was revealed to be da vinci and brahms
I don't know; pretty hard choice between Gormla Gaunt & Bellatrix Lestrange. Good video. Thanks.
Im not sure if this was said but Azult was a descendant of Morgana ((who was
an exceedingly powerful witch) who was herself ( referring to Morgana) is a direct descendant of Merlin)) and Salazar Slytherin
Yo love your channel keep up with the good work
Just read the article on Ilvernorny yesterday. Cool video.
Dolores Umbridge is much more evil.
She wouldn't have hesitated to do any of things Gorna did and would have actually enjoyed it.
Dolores was the only death eater who could use the Patronus charm because she actually enjoyed torturing people, children included.
You need to be able to produce a memory of sheer joy and happiness to be able to cast a Patronus and to be able to hold that memory at the forefront of your mind to be able to make it full formed. In DnD terms it's a concentration spell, not a cantrip with an immediate effect.
Dolores can produce a fully formed cat Patronus because she relishes the pain and suffering she's inflicting on others.
At least with Bellatrix her evilness stemmed from insanity mixed with twisted beliefs and Gorna seems to follow that pattern.
Dolores is on another level.
*ehm ehm* Mr.Patrick, I want you to write lines with my special quill and write *I will not trash talk about Ms. Umbridge* 🙂
@@HomelessShoe And if I refuse?
Wait is this canon? When was it explained that she can cast a patronus because of that? Also Snape was also a death eater. I don't think it is even completely canon that death eaters are not able to cast a patronus. As far as I know that is just a saying/prejudice in the wizarding world but wasn't scientifically studied. Maybe they can't cast a patronus because most of them have never tried? Or because people who become death eaters are maybe more likely have mental health issues or experienced an abusive childhood.Draco for example was loved by his parents but also emotionally abused by his parents his whole life. The patronus charm is not taught at Hogwarts. So how many people would even have tried learning it in their life? It's not like most people in real life just study an advanced subject they'll probably never need like the chemistry of Organosilicon elements when they are out of school for fun.
Except she wasn’t a death eater.
Umbridge reminds me of my ex's mother so much. *So. Much.*
Anyone else cracking up over him almost calling Bella a bitch and quickly using witch?
Bellatrix getting intimate with Voldi tho...I'll never see Cursed Child as canon it's so ridiculous 😮💨
I see them like this: Gormlaith 1st, Bellabitch 2nd, Umbitch 3rd, Vinda Rosier 4th, won't doubt if she becomes Gridelwald's Bella.
Yes Umbridge wasn't as evil as Bellatrix or Gormlaith, but you did overlook her. All those "Educational decrees" they are quiet evil.
One less known evil witch: Skeeter, she spied as an insect and didn't care about the impact on Hagrid's life once his secret of being a half giant is out. All she cared about was herself and made it a matter of Ego, once Hermione showed her the true face.
Horrible woman Rita Skeeter, although not as wicked as the previous ones.
I don't know. I actually tend to think of Umbridge's evil as the worst sort. Bellatrix and Gormlaith never, ever pretended to be anything other dark hearted evil and they reveled in that. Umbridge was "just following orders" and didn't care at all where they came from; in her mind every action she took was perfectly justified and she allowed her nastiest impulses to run wild under the umbrella of that sanction. That sort of evil is the worst because it will never recognize itself.
@@angelaharris53 You know she was able to cast a Patronus charm.
Yes you're right, "I am right" is the worst sort of problem.
But I guess, Bellatrix also thought: I am doing nothing evil. I have all the rights to kill my niece because she's a mud-blood's daughter.
She is the same as Umbridge.
Bellatrix and Gormlaith felt no guilt just like Umbridge. Didn't recognize the consequences of their actions. Hell! she was sitting like a queen when she was questioned by Crouche. She did nothing wrong in her head when she tortured the Longbottoms.
So every evil Witch is noble in her own head.
So Umbridge isn't an exception, she is the rule.
Skeeter too, although she's not as Evil, but she did nothing wrong in her head when she painted Hermione as a golddigger, was about to destroy Bagman. and when she wrote Dumbledore's life as a lie.
She thought she's doing all things good, but actually she was a Gossiping Corrupt woman. And every Agony aunt thinks, she's a good gentle lady.
Uh! Party Politics and Journalists, ugly people. Don't start me on Conservatives now.
Ugh i forgot about Vinda Rosier, she si fearsome just by watching her
I would really like to see a live action series of Isolt Sayer and her journey, not to mention seeing Gormlaith Gaunt's twisted sense of blood purity. I really want to see William the Pukwudgie.
William! And her husband picking William as his magical creature as...it's the only one he knew, was adorable. :) I love the schools creation story.
While Gormlaith was certainly a horrible woman, her impact on the Wizarding world was rather limited. Her evil deeds mostly influenced a small area around a secluded valley and her own family. What makes her more evil than Bellatrix is likely that she did all this of her own accord while Bellatrix would have likely been just a very unpleasant person if it hadn‘t been for ol‘ Tommy to elevate and educate her.
However, I think there are some possible evil witches left. As Rowling obviously included most famous witches and wizards from legend (while of course especially concentrating on British folklore, one could assume that ALL important magic users, maybe including some characters depicted as demi-gods in legend) are all canon within the Wizarding World. That assumption opens the door for many very interesting figures, like Baba Jaga from (Eastern) Slavic folklore, Yamauba and Yuki Onna from Japanese legend, Kirke from Greek mythology,Ljot from Icelandic sagas or Mórrígan (or Mór-Ríoghain) from celtic/Irish folklore.
And one that actually is mentioned not only on Pottermore or other auxiliary texts by Rowling, but in the books themselves (and therefore without doubt canon): Morgan (alternative: Morgaine la Fée). I think that this references Morgan Le Fay from the Arthur legend (considering that Merlin is definitely mentioned). And she would be a very strong contender for most evil witch in history. Some people see Mórrígan as antetype for Morgan, making her an even stronger contender.
Plus, most of those legends date back to times far before even the foundation of Hogwarts. It is clear that pure-blood supremacy is well established around the year 1000 AD, as Hogwarts was founded around that time and the fallout between Godric, Rowena and Helga on the one and Salazar on the other side revolved around allowing every magically gifted person into the school - a mindset, therefore, that caused much of the evil actions performed by basically all evil characters within the books (and also Gormlaith). On the other hand, many of the older witches of folklore are just evil for the sake of evil. They often have some sort of agency, but reaching their goal will simply result in a new one, continuing the evil.
Plus, their impact on the Wizarding World (and the world at large) is huge, considering they lived so long ago, there is not much written evidence of their doings but they are still known today - in the Wizarding World as well as in Muggle legends.
We need a Harry Potter horror movie!
Awesome as always thanks ❤
Supoib! Love your channel! My Monday is so much better!
Wow man i tought Belatrix was most evil😮😮
I love your videos and your calm voice. Keep posting good videos like this!
Yeah the same
I'd say her and Beltrix were pretty even in the evil department.
Speaking of evil witches and wizards, I hope the villains in Hogwarts Legacy are memorable
YOU are the villan
Me too. I really don't want to see generic main villain being a villain for generic reasons
@@WORSHIPCHAOSGODELMO that’s just one choice
@@XxLew me too
Oh I will be.
Im rewatching the movies on syfy, and wondering why lupin suspected harry was a fake after they retuned to the borrows, but also why did he man handle so roughly to throw him against a wall
because he knew someone told the death eaters about their plan of the seven potters. Anyone of the people which took part at moving harry to the burrow could be an impostor
No sooner had Mrs. Weasley bent over her son than Lupin
grabbed Harry by the upper arm and dragged him, none too gently,
back into the kitchen, where Hagrid was still attempting to ease his
bulk through the back door.
“Oi!” said Hagrid indignantly. “Le’ go of him! Le’ go of Harry!”
Lupin ignored him.
“What creature sat in the corner the first time that Harry Potter
visited my office at Hogwarts?” he said, giving Harry a small shake.
“Answer me!”
“A - a grindylow in a tank, wasn’t it?”
Lupin released Harry and fell back against a kitchen cupboard.
“Wha’ was tha’ about?” roared Hagrid.
“I’m sorry, Harry, but I had to check,” said Lupin tersely. “We’ve
been betrayed. Voldemort knew that you were being moved tonight
and the only people who could have told him were directly involved
in the plan. You might have been an impostor.”
“So why aren’ you checkin’ me?” panted Hagrid, still struggling
to fit through the door. “You’re half-giant,” said Lupin, looking up at Hagrid. “The
Polyjuice Potion is designed for human use only.”
It's better explained in the books. No one was supposed to know that they were moving harry from private drive 4 days before his birthday. The reason why death eaters knew was because Snape planted the idea in mundeogus fletcher's head to move harry early with 7 decoy Harry's. Snapr gave voldmort the correct date to keep his cover. He modified fletcher memory afterwards
Lupin was rough with harry because he thought he may have been a spy pretending to be harry. Sort of like Mad eye in the 4th book.
Also the question he asked him about the grindylow was not included in the third movie so it makes no since for him to ask it because move going audience's may not gave read the book.
This scene and Aberforth's mirror really both me about the deathy hallows film adaptation. They rely too much on knowing the book.
@@huealexg3068 but why slam him so hard is all im asking. I know lupin suspected someone
@@karenbole7130 idk maybe just in case he was the traitor
Thank you for your incredible work
Earlyyy!
I’ve been watching this since the start of the pandemic and it’s the sole reason I always win the Harry Potter cards in trivia pursuit! I still pop in time to time (like now)
Is she related to Ominus Gaunt? If so, I'm more amazed that he is so hesitant about the dark arts coming from such a line. Amazing guy
Ya, though Gormlaith was born on a different branch of the Gaunt family, Ominis and her are distant relatives.
I like your contents,keep it up👍😀
I love your videos but I have to ask, where are you getting all the information from? There seems to be so much information that greatly expands on the lore that I apparently have no idea is even out there.
It’s extended lore written by JK Rowling herself
Nice video! ❤
youre really amazing man
Gormlaith is the magical version of petunia dursley so creates a situation to bump off those that were in her way just like how petunia would use gossip to put an end to someone who would get in her way of something she wanted both used their relatives as indentured slaves and were treated like scum both used people's perceptions to lay waste to said relatives reputation and seen them as a means to an end and both got what was coming to them gormlaith locked up and petunia forced to realize that she had a good thing with harry not wanting to take revenge he so rightly deserved but telling her and her family to get out of town or become a few nice and dead bodies in both victims becoming better human beings then their respective tormentors and both end up finding what gormlaith and petunia never did love and happiness
... Umbridge?
somewhere up on this list 😅
Has anyone ever examined parseltongue? I mean what's so special about it? I get it's rare. It seems to be genetic. And it seems to travel down the Slytherin...but...my question is so what? I don't get what's special about it? What good does it serve to talk to serpentine creatures? They are not the strongest or most dangerous beasts in the Potterverse. Is it magical? Could a parselmouth control Nagini? Why didn't Nagini need to be spoken to in paseltongue? I just don't see why it was ever included at all....
When Herpo created the Basilisk he made it so only a parseltongue could control it and then made sure that parseltongue was passed down to 100% of all descendants. A specific family bio-weapon if you will a bio-weapon able to kill with a look from a young age and eat a horse whole in its adult age. By using a horcrux one of Herpo's descendants could live for ever and have a living siege engine that can live for around 1000 years and tank most forms of magical attacks.
I wonder…. did Harry retain his ability to speak parceltongue after the Battle of Hogwarts?
I have to agree with you. At least Bellatrix didn't kidnap and try to brain wash any children.. at least that we know of. This sounds way worse then a battle between adults where one loses and dies witch is what happened with siris and tonks. And Bellatrix didn't torture Neville.
Do you think bellatrix wouldn’t torture Neville though?
Very fine video
Umbridge, who could conjure up a patronous wearing the locket.
And Bellatrix is very cruel but, she wasn't "powerful" as people think. As Dumbledore said, people's fear towards them and their ruthlessness and cruelty made them dangerous, and their close association with voldy which gave them social and political power. Not their own magical power.
I wonder which British Actress would play Gormlaith Gaunt? Maybe Rose Byrne, or Cate Blanchett. Alicia Vikander would play Isolt Gaunt.
They're Australian
Cursed child is cursed and I couldn’t even finish it. I won’t count it as canon.
Where do you get all this information?
One contender I think could be Morgana LeFey. The fact that she was perhaps the most powerful witch and Merlin’s nemesis. So we can guess she practiced dark magic so powerful that it could rival the most powerful wizard in history. They must be pretty darn bad. But I understand why most people wouldn’t mention her. We need to know more at least in this universe.
I think this story could make a good spin-off movie
The video was interesting. What is the source material for it?
Was looking at the merch and wondered if u misspelled Hagrid’s name on purpose
Where do you get all this information from is there more books?
Can someone explain where exactly do so much of this in-universe fun facts and information come from? Ive read the books and seen the movies but I've never heard of morgan le fey or gormlaith??
Well argued, I look forward to seeing anyone's challenge
Is this uploaded 2nd time? How do I know all these already?
I really wish they would go more into this entire universe by making more movies games and maybe even books.
If it was true that Bellatrix had a Daughter with Voldemort, I believe it must have been very early in his adult life, before he started making horcruxes. First of all it would mean he must have had sex with her and considering what happened to his nose due to extensive use of dark arts, one can only guess what happened to him down there.🤫
Cursed Child might as well be fanfiction, it’s so stupid.
Very curious lol,always felt if he had intercourse,after his transformation it would have been with nagini,she was once a woman I suppose she would have told him so it wouldn't be too weird.
@@MrImastinker I couldn’t agree with you more. Biggest piece of rubbish I have ever read.
@@jameswest981 Nagini being woman is not a canon I think. And Voldy & Bellatrix should be a sitcom.
@@damasek219 💯🤣
Agreed, Bellatrix was fucking bonkers but Gormlaith was a calculated psycho on a different level
Very interesting
Have you made a video about elves? Dobby and their powers compared to wizards? Dobby seems to humiliate Malfoy even without the wand.
Where can i find all those texts that aren't in the books ?
Too bad we don't know more about Morgane, she could have this title.
Where does all this information from this video come from? Are there more books that I haven't read? Is there another movie that I have not seen yet?
Pottermore website probably. J.K Rowling oversees the website and adds lore to that site from time to time
Gormlaith Gaunt was actually similar to Voldemort, she used dark magic to try and extend her life.
Where is the next video? This was yesterday
The whole Delphi thing doesn't make sense to me.
1. Can a man who has no soul and who has been transformed by the dark arts so much actually produce a child?
2. Why would he have a child when he himself is not pure blooded and would only be producing another half-breed as they would call it.
3. LOVE? Isn't like the biggest thing about Voldermort is that he loves no one and doesn't understand it which is why he kept losing?
What about Morgana? I thought she was supposed to be pretty bad too. Didn’t they make a Chocolate Frog card for her?
The moment I decided to click on this video I knew who my answer was and frankly I'm very happy and pleased to see that we agreed
That intro though
I wonder if this Evil Witch might appear someday in either new (HARRY POTTER) movies?
Or if this (Most Evil Witch) might be mentioned in the (HARRY POTTER) show series?
bi-- um... witch. LOL! I choked on my water when you said that! Hahaha
To be honest is that even a question its obviously Umbridge?
00:34 without looking any further yeah Gormlaith Gaunt about as evil as they come , i watched the origins of Ilvermorney (now back to the show )
If Merlin is in Harry Potter lore, is Morgan Le Faye (Morgana)?
What is the title or the animation you used?
Is half blood or muggle blood wizard more powerful than a pure blooded wizard, due to understanding a bit of normal human minds in creativity?
But wait? How could she discover that she was a parselmouth when there are no snakes in Ireland?
Where did you get this information? Did you write it?
Extended lore written by JK Rowling
Where to get all this history?
the only thing that gets me with this video is the name pronunciation, how is a name spelt 'Gormlaith' pronounced 'Gormla'? Im not having a go, just a question! Otherwise great vid as always dude keep it up :)
It's an Irish name- I'm probably not pronouncing it entirely correctly but it's something along the lines of 'Gorm-La'!
Them: The most evil witch...
Me: Umbridge!
Them: ...Gormlaith Gaunt.
Me: Oh... No. I'm sticking with Umbridge.
I tuned out once he started mentioning Cursed Child as canon.
The only possible Witch that I can think of that may have been more evil was Morgan Le Fay !
[ Merlin is mentioned in Harry Potter so ... ]
Le Faye?
If there is a witch worse than Gormlaith, it's probably another Gaunt.
This was interesting 👍
Too bad JK Rowling or whoever came up with this didn't think to add, "And with Morgalith's last dying breath she laid a curse on Illvermorny that her soul would be forever within the school and one day she would purge it of all she considered unclean" but I guess that's a little too much like Salazar Slytherin.
I think it was inhumane to Keep the Long bottoms in a hospital for their entire lives. Especially knowing that their situation would never improve. A constant state of agony. The wizard world is fully Capable of granting them a peaceful deified ending.
When it comes to most evil witch I’d put Umbridge up among them.
