The Story of Nagini (+ How She Met Voldemort) - Harry Potter Explained

- Hey everyone,
Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. In this video, we’re going to be discussing both the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts franchises, as well as lord Voldemort and his trusty companion Nagini.
The Nagini that we know from the Harry Potter films was first introduced in the Goblet of Fire, where she is described as eating the body of muggle Frank Bryce after his brutal murder.
And from as far back as we can remember, she’s glued to Voldemort’s side- a trustworthy and loyal companion through seemingly any kind of adversity. When Voldemort was weak and just a shadow of the powerful man that he usually was, she was still there right by him- and this truly speaks to the bond that Voldemort and Nagini had. However, the Nagini that we know from the Harry Potter franchise is not expanded upon much in the original series, and it’s not until Fantastic Beasts came out that we got a little bit more of her history. Nagini is such a rich character with a lot of history, but in harry Potter we only see her in her snake form, and the relationship that she has with Voldemort had already been developed.
We don’t really get a proper sense of who is she or what her story is, and in today’s video I’m going to be diving in to the history of Nagini, not just the snake, but the woman.
Nagini’s birth year is not officially recorded anywhere, but we do know that when we first see her in Fantastic Beasts, it’s the year 1927, and she looks to be in her late 20s or so. With this in mind, I’m going to assume that Nagini was born sometime around the year 1900.
However, Nagini wasn’t born in to normal circumstances- she wasn’t born as a normal, healthy young baby, she was born with a curse. We don’t know whether or not Nagini came from a family of witches, muggles, or something else, but we do know that her lineage had the ‘maledictus’ curse in it’s bloodline, a dark curse that is passed on through generations of family members and is transferred from mother to daughter. Because of this, Nagini was born a female ‘Maledictus’ - one who carries the Maledictus curse. A ‘Maledictus’ suffers from a blood malediction- a type of curse that causes the sufferer to slowly transform in to an animal over the course of their life. The animal can vary according to the specific curse. In Nagini’s case, her blood malediction meant that she was destined to turn in to a snake- becoming less human and more snake each and every day. Generally, for quite a number of years, the Maledictus will possess the ability to transform at will, but that’s what slips over time. Eventually, you will lose the ability to transform, and will be stuck in whatever animal form that is destined for you.
Though we don’t have an exact date, it’s speculated that Nagini and Voldemort met in the forests of Albania, sometime in the 1980s. At this point, Nagini would have likely fully-assumed her snakelike form, and Voldemort would have been hiding in his disembodied state.
What their initial interaction would have looked like is anyone’s guess- however, we do know a couple of things about Voldemort that would have helped him in interacting with a giant snake.
First of all, Voldemort is the descendant of Salazar Slytherin- this means that his connection to snakes is strong, and that he can even communicate with them because of his ability to speak parseltongue. Nagini, who would have been stuck in her Maledictus form at this point in time, would have probably leaped at the opportunity to finally speak with someone. She was a lost Maledictus that was devoid of communication- and finally she encountered someone who could understand her- it was someone that she could tell her story to. Whether Voldemort would have been able to recognize that she was a Maledictus or not is unclear, however, he is an extremely versed Legilimens, so I’m sure he could have taken a look inside of her mind and figured it out.
At this point in time, both Nagini and Voldemort were a bit lost in the world, similar to when she first met Credence. Nagini was stuck in a snake form, an entirely new identity, and was completely devoid of human interaction. She probably had no idea what her next move was going to be, and she must have been incredibly lonely.

I have a suspicion that Nagini being a horcrux is the reason she became more like Voldemort. Remember how the necklace affected Harry, Ron and Hermione, they became dark while wearing it while she was the horcrux so the evil must have affected her
Harry was a horcrux and isn't a blood thirsty killer...
Yes but that was by accident, Nagini wasn't it was planned..it could change the way it affects him and her as he was protected by love 🤷🏻♂️
JK _46 *Nagini*
@@Peachelliver yes Harry was confirmed as a horcrux are you dumb you didn't see the Deathly Hallows part 2
Maxime Daniel I don’t think she/he meant that Harry was “like” Voldemort. What he/she is saying is that when you wear or become a horcrux the negative energy affects you and that could be why Nagini became more like Voldemort. For example, when Ron became jealous and left in the Deathly Hallows it was because the horcrux brought out the worst in him, so therefore it could be the same with Nagini.
It’s riddikulus how people still think that the snake Harry set free in the zoo was nagini. The snake in the zoo was a male. 🤦♂️
Also the snake was from Brazil
Kaena Choo I see what you did there
I'd always expected that to come back in the later books. Maybe that snake as a heroic counterpart against Nagini or something similar.
AustynSN that should’ve been written in... Harry has his own snake
Also, Nagini was a python in the book, but for some reason, the movie version made her to be a boa constrictor. The snake at the zoo was a boa constrictor.

- Always /*
Haha I am crying right now
Same
He has his mother's eyes
@@fernandoomega apparently the only thing that Snape didn't hate on Harry
@@alucard625 yes because Snape loved Lily
Voldemort was a master manipulator. He probably made Nagini believe he had the power to free her from her curse by completing the horcrux ritual. And by doing so, her soul was corrupted, not destroyed. It was no longer hers but an extension of Voldemort. A slave to his will, much like the nazghul were an extension of sauron's will in lord of the rings.
I literally just came from a nazgul video
He may also have been convinced that once he had the Elder Wand that he would then have the power to free her from the curse
@@tamstertx63 he wouldn't want to though, would he. He doesn't see her as anything other than a powerful tool, and a weapon. He wouldn't want to change her back, he'd keep her as she is
@@alexmcvey1609 I was thinking he would TELL her he could change her back with the Elder Wand. Basically, lie to her to help keep her loyal. I don't think he would actually change her back either, unless he found a way for her to be more useful that way. He only did things for people as a way to manipulate them
@@tamstertx63 yep I agree
I feel so sorry for Nagini, I mean it wasn't her fault she was cursed. She made the right decisions about the things that were in her hand like choosing Grindelwald's side or Newt's side. I don't even think she would've chosen Voldy's side if she was still in her human form, she might have chosen his side because it's either she didn't remember anything about being a human or she was finally able to talk to someone, after all, she was lonely. And she might've turned dark because voldy turned her into a Horcrux, she started becoming more like him, evil. That poor thing didn't deserve that life :(
Whenever I hear the word “freak” all I can think of are Petunia’s words
Arun Sreenivasan yea me too
I'm thinking at that point of Snape's memories: "You're a freak, Lily!A freak!"
Both horrible moments that she probably regrets
(Cough)Umbride(Cough)
A-a freak! *Background thunder*
Nagini is such a complex and interesting character. I cannot wait to see more of her in the future of Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them!
If they make them
Next movie is fantastic beasts and length of grindleward.
@Oof Oooof69 The problem is that they're going to do it without johnny depp
@@Thegeneticsjunkie how do you know? I don't think they are going to remove him
edit: also his ex's blames are being proved wrong very well
@@ranjani925 Mads Mikkelsen was confirmed as the new actor for Grindelwald back in November 2020.
I myself think Nagini lost her human soul when she was completely turned, thus taking on animalistic instinct. She in her human form knew that Grindelwald was evil and wanted no part in his plan, so why if she still had her human memories would she go with Voldemort?
Ummmm because he like was the only person she could talk to at that point in the world, and he listened to her story and related probably manipulated and told a sob story of his own
probably because she thought that lord Voldemort could defeat Grindelwald.
You are right. Rowling confirmed in the CoG extra Credence, Nagini, and Circus Arcanus she will lose her human mind completely when she transforms.
@RAIN WANG you mean v o l d e m o r t
@RAIN WANG mr and Mrs Voldemort
I always noted that her name “Nagini” harkened to a Naga, which is a mythological semi-divine half-human half-snake being from Hinduism.
I associated her with Nag and Nagaina from the story of Rikki Tikki Tavi. (A favorite of mine as a kid, because I was afraid of snakes.)
Naagini is female form of Naga
Nagin is a hindi name for a blessed snake who can take human appearance
@@youtubeaddict6128 its not hindi. Its Sanskrit. In hindi, u call it saanp
@@hotterblood same boi
The real question is, did dumbledore realise that the nagini who showed up at hogwarts after paris and the nagini that served Voldemort were the same creature?
Maaaaan , that is a sad perspective
Not likely
If he is supposed to be one of the greatest wizards of all time I am sure Dumbledore put it together. Between logic and magic he would have know near immediately
Dumbledore isn't someone who just forgets something. If he knew there was a snake-maledictus named Nagini, he still knows during the 90s. Then there's a similar looking snake like Nagini - yeah he knew exactly
@@AteliusMapping I’m also quiet sure that nagini will be shown more in the franchise. He might even be there when nagini transfers last time
Something else that could be added to this is that staying in contact with an horocrux for for a long periodo of time corrupts the good nature within you, like when Ron wore the locket. Having Voldemort's soul inside would have sealed her position as evil (Note that Harry was inmune to this due to his mothers protection)
nagini was made a horcrux with the death of bertha jorkins in the goblet of fire. this means that she was on voldemort’s side before she became a horcrux
In Book Six doesn't Dumbledore state that she killed "an old Muggle man" and was turned into a Horcrux then.
Exactly like Harry, at the time in book 5 when Voldy occupied Harrys head constantly. Harry also feld anger all the time and one time, he even wanted to kill Dumbledore. Maybe Nagini got the same feelings but she had no loving friends who could keep her on the right track.
@@potentiallyvalid9906 I agree, when Harry had to deal with Voldemort after his return to a body, he was much more affected than when Harry was just tempered his scar burning. Harry became angry and short tempered.
No HP was not why HP and his 2 pals shared the Locket as it affected all of them
I just feel sad for Nagini.She was such a beautiful woman.Too bad I did not read the Book.😢
dandan niu you should. It gives much more info on the story
There is still plenty of time.
Nagini was a female?
@@theenation1126 ok so the books tell all the characters stories ?
@@georgemwanza6339 no thay do not but thay give a lot more.
I question if Nagini the woman is the same personality as Nagini the snake. Does Nagini the snake even remember being a woman?
This is something I am wondering too.
I think we'll get this answer in the future fantastic beasts movies
The Thing that I Confuse is.... How A Contrictor type snake (Python) can Have a Venom, wth is she's eating to be able to produce such a venom
Z you mean the series revolving around wizards, dragons, and other mythical creatures isn't realistic? Shocking.
@nakkhatra Sehtab I thought they are starting to film the 3rd film in January 2021? Well if Johnny Depp can move his court day that is
My theory is that, after whatever happens in the next 3 movies, Nagini finally becomes a snake, and being the shy, timid person she is, she slithers off, embarrassed by what she's become. In the wild, her mind eventually goes, until she is found by Voldemort, who, over time, rehabilitates and brainwashes her to the Dark, and she becomes the Nagini we see during the events of Books 4-7.
I was reading somewhere that Nagini had enough of eating rats, birds and small animals. At the time she met Voldemort and he gave her the opportunity to eat man’s flesh she lost her identity completely!
True I remember that part as well.
Honnestly it would have made a lot more sense if the cursed child had been the daughter of Nagini instead of Belatrix. No matter how far the story would have had to go to give her back some human appearance, an intimate relationship between her and Voldy would have been more believable than with Belatrix
@Lumos Luminosity eh he already looks like one probably does
Maybe Bellatrix used some sort of love potion
@@audiobooks7766 fandom says love potions don't work on Voldemort, and is confirmed that Voldemort doesn't like Bellatrix at all, it's just that he probably wanted someone to continue his goal to purify the wizarding society. As to why he chose her it's probably because she's basically his right hand woman
'Cursed child' and 'sense' in the same sentence? Cursed child makes no sense, its bad fanfiction!
I don't think Voldemort meant to have a child rather than amusing Bellatrix so he could further her affections for him. He didn't at all care about Bellatrix beyond seeing her as a useful tool. He didn't have any use for a child. Delphi was an accident, plain and simple.
There's also a theory going around that Bellatrix seduced him with a love potion. He would of killed her after the potion wore off. The only way for Bellatrix to pull that off is if she obliviated him afterward and hoped she was just as good a liar as her sister. Then she'd be Bellatrix, the one that raped Voldemort. I prefer my own theory.
Nagini is more Voldemort than Nagini. You could probably think of her more as Voldemort's second head instead of an individual. Voldemort didn't have to win her affections and Nagini was not obsessed with him enough for love potions.
Both were affected by a curse, that fundamentally changed who they were. And as living beings they were drawn together by similar circumstances of loneliness. 💀🧙♂️ and 🐍💃
Actually, Voldemort wasn’t able to love because his mom gave his dad a love potion, which caused them to fall in love.
Charlie BT which is being affected by a curse.... Stop trying to be an “actually person” you’re just a loser nothing more or less
+Deniz Kenger Finally, someone else gets it.
Definition CURSE: something evil or unpleasant that happens to someone or something, by or as if by a magical power.
Cause of trouble or unhappiness.
What ever Energy a person puts out into the world, POSITIVE or NEGATIVE, it returns 3 times
So by this definition. Merope using a love potion on an unwilling person, created NEGATIVE Energy, that affected her, her lover, and Voldemorte " cursed" them).
@@CTGReviews that can be defined as a curse ( and actually doubled because it would have affected him in utero as well as living enviemronment)
Maybe after credence died, because she was immortal, he wasn't, she met Tom who had personality traits like credence, or he reminded her of him. And being an orphan and not having any friends as an orphan, she became Tom's friends at the orphanage. Being his long time friends, they grew a trust between them, and having many similarities. She was very loyal to credence, and Tom.
Voldemort and Nagini could have also met during the time when he was going to retrieve Ravenclaw's diadam.
More than likely. He would already have made at least three Horcruxes by then, fresh out of school when World War II ended (which is when the Fantastic Beasts films will end(.
Highly unlikely. He would have used her venom to regenerate instead of risking going after the Philosopher's Stone if that was the case.
Can we take the time to appreciate JK Rowling's ability to create such a complex fascinating story!! The connections in harry potter series are just dazzling!!!
Hajime isayama: laughs in aot
Such a a shame she’s a raging Terf and has actively lead to the hate and bigotry against those different to her.
@@mukundyadav6913 I was about to say that 😂😂😂
Rowling has a genius mind 👌👏
@@tabbymoonshine5986 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Utter bollocks!!
Nagini was of utmost importance to Voldemort. The reason why in the first book Voldemort sought out the Philosopher's Stone that Nicolas Flamel made was because Nagini told him that such stone could produce a physical human body for him - just as the stone created Aurelius Dumbledore aka Credence from the obscurus of the late Ariana. Nagini must have learned this from being in Newt's circle. Upon the fall of Grindelwald, Nagini went her separate way and must've met Voldemort sometime after. When the two developed a close relationship, she then gave this information to help Voldemort so he can return in human form. Nagini was not just a strong ally, she was the first and only true friend of Voldemort.
voldy aka Voldemort had no friends not even nagini
if this was the explanation in the new movies id accept it
Nonsensical, crackpot theory. Nagini didn't tell Voldemort about the Philosopher's Stone, Quirrell did. And why would he go after the Philosopher's Stone if he had Nagini then whose venom he could use for his rebirth like he did later? He didn't need to risk it. It's obvious she met him after the events of Philosopher's Stone.
Also, they didn't develop a close relationship nor was she his 'friend'. She was just a tool, nothing more. He proved this when he removed the bubble protection charm from her as soon as he thought Harry had died and his soul was safe. He only cared about his soul.
His reaction to her death also proves she was just a tool, especially when compared to his reaction to Bellatrix's death. When Nagini died, he only screamed (probably for his soul) and his reaction didn't go beyond his soul because her usefulness (i.e his soul) died with her. When Bella died, he screamed, sent the best three duellists there flailing through the air, and tried to kill Molly. This was thrice the reaction he had at Nagini's death and it went beyond usefulness, because Bella was the only one he had ever cared about, not Nagini.
I think she was so evil because she had toms soul in her
I also think that part of Nagini’s “evilness” stemmed from her resentment towards her condition and how the world treated her in response.
Harry potter also had Tom's soul in him...
@@adharshvenkatakrishnan8553 But nagini was a intentional hocrucus so the part of soul was exchanged between nagini and Tom but it wasn't the case with harry it was a unintentional one.
adharsh venkatakrishnan yes but he made Nagini a horcrux first and because it’s half of the soul in your body, nagini has more of Voldemort’s soul than Harry does
@@anthonyjanthonycrowley898 Actually, Nagini was his last created Horcrux, made after the death of Bertha Jorkins in 1994, just prior to Harry's fourth year. Harry was made a Horcrux in 1981, at the death of James and Lily Potter. Voldemort did not yet know this. His intended 6th Horcrux was the Sword of Gryffindor, but this was denied him by Dumbledore.
I think that nagini told Voldemort about Grindelwald having the elder wand in deathly hallows
No, Voldemort thought it was grigorovitch that had it, and he told Voldemort that Grindelwald stole it
O yeah, I have forgotten that Voldemort knew it from Gregorovitch's mind... thanks for reminding me
Nagini becoming more evil over time may just be a reflection of the nature of snakes. In muggle literature, going back to the writing of Genesis, it was a serpent that acted as the Devil's tool; In the Wizarding World snakes are commonly looked at in harsh light, as well; From Basilisks to evil parseltongued Wizards. To cross-reference with the nature of wargs in A Song of Ice and Fire persons who stay in their animal form too long begin to forget what it's like to be human. Since Nagini can no longer be human perhaps she loses that aspect of her character.
No, it was the devil in the FORM of a serpent, not an ACTUAL snake doing his work. Also, muggle literature wouldn't necessarily have ANY bearing on the magical world--in fact, it would likely be the exact opposite. Snakes' nature isn't "evil", it is merely one of survival, just like all other animals. It is more likely that Voldemort turning Nagini into his horcrux is what made her evil, because HE was evil, and then infected her with a part of HIS soul.
@@KiraBKADestroyerOfWorlds Why wasn't Harry evil then?
Snakes are neither good or bad. They are just snakes. Is like saying sharks are bad because how the media portrays them, when that is their role in nature.
Humans, as animals, are afraid of snakes because our ancestors encounters are ingrained in our collective unconscious and put a negative view on them for our species security. However, to be fair, snakes are more afraid from us. How animals respond to fear: attack or run. There are more chances of a hippo killing you than snakes if you faced them, but here we are, having hippos dancing in cartoons and having cute hippo plushies.
Finally, I would not consider Nagini equal to a snake. Nagini is just the product of a curse that happens to turn her into a snake and be placed into bad circumstances, like a human putting a cat among birds.
Video Idea:
Could Harry survive a dementors Kiss? Yeah I know that he has 2 souls but one is a horcrux. Please Like If you wanna see a Video about it 🙏
@@saitama6040 he is asking will harry potter survive one learn to read english
KB VENØM that’s a really good idea!
What is his horcrux?
A victim from a dementor’s kiss can still live afterwards. All the kiss really does is suck out the victim’s soul to the point where the victim becomes a shell of a person with no thought or emotion. Such fate happened to Barry Crouch Jr. in the Goblet of Fire. As for Harry, it’s possible that a dementor May have to strike 2 times in order to truly reduce Harry to the state that Crouch Jr. was left in. But that’s just my two cents.
@@darkknight6571 Wow, sorry for eliciting an error like any human could
I thought he was talking about one of the scenarios in POA
Learn to not be a jackass
After seeing Fantastic Beasts then rewatching Harry Potter, see her more as tragic and damaged. Though her end was necessary, it was extremely sad for her that her curse brought her here. One can't help but wonder, if she hadn't been so terribly used and manipulated, how differently her life may have turned out.
I wonder if a part of the reason Nagini went from seemingly “good” to “bad” was the fact she became a horcrux. Not saying that before she became one she didn’t so some awful things but having a part of volemorts soul in you has to mess with you after so long. We saw Harry show signs of it effecting him from the beginning talking to the snake at the zoo. When she fully went snake mode and being so alone even the strongest would break and attach to any connection offered... then its a slippery slope till ol’ Voldemort shoved some of his nasty soul all up in her.
😢

Voldemort could've met Nagini in the cave where he took two other orphans. The orphans didn't talk about what they saw and were traumatised, this could've been because they witnessed him talk to Nagini. This could also be why he hid Slytherin's locket in the same cave, given his ability to speak parseltongue came from him, linking it all together.
That is very interesting. I thought that Rowling hinted at the inferi being always present in the cave, and that somehow young riddle managed to animate one or more in front of the orphans. But yours is a very satisfying theory
The timing dont match up
That's interesting but I always thought he found her in the Albanian forest
See this is what I thought I heard long before JK stopped giving us goodies
This is intriguing, but this would make it like Tom and Nagini already knew eachother before meeting her again in albanian forest and seeing something with the inferi feels more terrifying by kids than a snake, jst sayin
What if Voldemort put Nagini under the imperious curse because she never wanted to obey his evil ways.
Brian Pellerin he had no reason to put it on her he respected snakes 🐍.
And why would she still be by his side when he lost his powers?
We just have to accept that even the most evil characters had their unique but sincere ways to experience affection and friendship. The bond between Voldemort and Nagini could be one of the examples.
@@shitalvora8114 exactly she could not be under the imperius curse
Why she willfully ate and killed people
I love Nagini's human form. She's GORGEOUS. I'd like to know why she became "evil". Maybe because of primary snake's predator instincts, but the 3rd movie is most likely to tell us about this.
i don't think Nagini was ever really "evil" until Voldemort made her a Horcrux.
@@JuanMataCFC I disagree on the time she became "evil". I do think she became a predator as a snake, and Voldemort met her when she was just "feeding". I wonder why she joined and followed him though...

Video Idea: Who are the current teachers at Hogwarts, as I know many retired.
@Rahieeq Giboory yes, but what about all the other subjects. We know that Trelawney retired, and probably Slughorn as well. So who are the rest of the teachers?
We can't know that. The obvious options would be studying at Hogwarts at the same time with Harry. So, we have an unlimited number of options and not one mention of the subject by JK Rowling, except Neville teaching Herbology. However, we know that neither Harry, nor Ron and Hermione or any other Weasley is teaching. I'm guessing McGonagall is Headmistress and I wouldn't expect professors Sprout and Flitwick to have retired yet. Firenze should be teaching Divination.
Haha guys!! I like the fact that u r speaking about hogwarts as if it is really there with current teachers right now!! Love the spirit!! Big fan of Harry Potter series..i haven't read the books but i have been watching the films over and over again ever since i was a young girl and i am 28 now!!

@@WhatDoYouWant92 no
It’s sad that nagini died she was actually really nice before she met Voldemort
I think another reason she could be attached to Voldemort and his cause is her possible hatred of Dumbledore... This is speculation, but at this point we see she is attached to Credence even though he was tricked by Grindelwald. We also know Credence is being set up to fight Dumbledore, which wouldn’t go well for him let’s face it. Maybe we will see Dumbledore kill Credence, and then Nagini despise Dumbledore for it. No one hated Dumbledore more than Voldemort. I feel like there has to be another reason for her to be attached to Voldemort other than she is lonely and he talks to her because Nagini seems too good of a person at this point in the Fantastic Beasts series to murder innocent people just because she’s told too.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the work you tubers put into making videos? I know that editing takes forever!!!

Hers is perhaps the most sad and beautiful story in the whole series. A girl destined to a short human life, knowing that she will one day become a creature and be forgotten, who finally finds someone and then finds when she is old and being killed by a courageous boy for the sake of everyone, that she has gone down the wrong path. We never hear her thoughts as she is sacrificed, we never see her side. It always makes me want to cry.

@Oof Oooof69 Nope. Kill him. Remember that a) harry is prophesized to destroy voldemort and b) voldemort has no problem with making more
@Oof Oooof69 Dumbledore told Harry this. Voldemort himself probably didn't know, nor would he have believed he'd have such a weakness. i'm fairly certain he believed he could make more Horcruxes at will.
Yes, but with time Harry will die and Voldemort lose the Horcrux
I just found out Nagini is actually the name given to the female Nagas in Hindu Mythology. Who would have thought Rowling looked this far into other cultures? Considering how "by the book" and "cliche" many of the events in Harry Potter are, it was a pleasant surprise.
Also Voldemort in french means “Flight of Death”.
And most spells are Latin. And wdym by the book and cliché?
I believe she's studied or is fascinated by Greek Mythology - the themes appear often in the series.
Its literally enough to play Yugioh or some other pop culture stuff to find out that Nagas have something to do with Snakes 😄
@@xModerax Yes but Nagini is specifically a female humanoid snake so it's not simply snake = naga connection.
Watched Fantastic beasts only once but still watch Harry Potter series.
The Charisma of Harry potter series will never fade away and will continue to watch it again and again.
Another thing to note is that Voldemort is very charming and persuasive. Due to Naginis situation, I feel like it wouldn't take much to get her to join him.
I mean, even Queenie joined him, then it's not hard to believe Nagini will join him too
To anyone seeing this have a good day
❤
Thank you, and have a great day yourself.

I wonder how she turned into Bathilda. She couldn’t talk but she sure acted human. Makes sense
Nagini's story is quite sad. She was born with a curse that slowly ate away her humanity, which made her desperate for some form of companionship, making her cling to the only one she knew who could communicate to ger, which eventually led to her tragic death. Makes me hope for some witch or wizard dedicated to finding a counter-curse to the maledictus curse.
Thanks so much for making a video on my suggestion! This was a very interesting video!
nagini and voldemort must have an amazing magical backstory for them to be BFFs until the very end
My friend: Your still watching Harry Potter all this time?
Me: always.
(insert voldemort laugh here)
stolen comment
If Nagini had been born around 1900, then she had lived into her 90s by the time of the battle of Hogwarts. So a long, but probably very lonely life. It makes me wonder how much of her humanity was left. In the books Voldemort is described as being barely human, and snake -like. So their bond is understandable. I'm fascinated to find out how her story pans out in the Fantastic Beasts movies.
Them movies aren't getting finished the liberal mob had JK cancelled and last movie didn't even do well
@@aaronscott4984 You know JK is a liberal who prides herself on being called a radical feminist, right?
I think Voldemort already met Nagini before his fall, as she was one of the seven Horcruxes. In my understanding his first priority was to create all of the seven Horcruxes as soon as he learned how to create them.
I think when he was looking for ravenclaw tiara to turn it into horcrux... he met nagini and turned her into horcrux aswell.
You have such a beautiful and engaging way of telling stories! I'm hooked on your channel! :)
You should start podcasting! Your voice is perfect for it
The obvious reason she becomes ‘evil’ I’m guessing is because Dumbledore ends up killing or is at fault for Credence dying which is why she joins Voldemort.
A good theory
Also, attachment to the only person she's met since her permanent transformation she can talk to. People will put up with a lot to get away from total social isolation. At that point, even an obviously evil dark wizard could become her entire world.
There's a reason solitary confinement is such a cruel and destructive punishment, even for the most hardened criminals.
Here’s a thought I’ve wondered about. If blood transfusions or partial blood dialysis was a form of treatment offered at St. Mungo’s in the wizarding world, would that have helped her condition as a maladictus? Would it have acted as a temporary treatment or would it have ultimately cured her prior to her voluntary transformations?
Just a theory: maybe after succumbing to the permanent effect of the maledictus, Nagini as a snake looses herself and forget who she once was.
This is the best Harry Potter theory channel I love your content
Great show before Fantastic Beasts 2
I hated Nagine so evil but when I saw her in her human form I had compassion for her. Now I have a few questions how did her family receive her curse also can a really skilled Wizard ( like Lord V ) heal her? Why would someone put this horrible curse on her family or any family? Thank you sorry for asking all these questions but you are the most knowledgeable HP folklore. Alex T.
could dementors suck out a soul from a horcrux ?
Mikolaj Plewa Super Carlin Brothers made a video on it
They dont suck out a soul of any creatures tho
@@irahngio yes they do. That is literally what a Dementor's Kiss is lol
Sometimes I wonder, if Dumboldore could relate this Nagini is the girl he knew from the first magical world war..
well, you missed nagini's death, but the story was still very interesting! i never thought of nagini like this before!
This channel and movie flame are the only Harry Potter channels I truly trust for accurate HP information
EXTREMELY INTERESTING!!! Thank you so much for this amazing video! I’ve always wondered about Nagini, and this video just makes me hungry for more!! I always thought Nagini was a tragic figure. Like so many in HP lore.......
Nagini Gave me my fear of Snakes ever since I watched her at 4
You missed something -Nagini was able to transform herself into Batilda Bakshot on harry potter and the deathly hallows part 1
At the village where Harry's parent were killed and she transform herself after killing Batilda Bakshot.
She was Bathilda meeting Harry and Hermione .... could have been magic performed by Voldemort before they got there after he killed Bathilda.
because nagini from asian, mostly asian plot twist will be:
actually nagini are twin sisters. One of them was born as an evil snake(hp nagini) but weaker than the good one(fb nagini), that's evil snake nagini make a deal with tom to kill good muggle nagini to get stronger or her perfect form. 🤭
She killed her and was using her skin
Outstanding very informative well done sir👍💯
Thanks for making this video. I always wondered about this topic.
One of the things I’m looking forward to the most. Great theory, makes sense.
Its been a decade and we all are still here! HARRY POTTER series have some sord-off sacredness ✨
Star Wars has been going since 77 was your point?
Your channel is the best on Harry Potter stuff! I love your videos... And This is the only channel, where I have seen videos that are uploaded "everyday"... Your Explainations are The best in the universe.... I am telling honestly.... I hope You make the next video on the life of Fleur Delcour...😊😊
woah i didn’t even notice that she was the same one from fantastic beasts??? that’s so cool
Omg his voice is so soft and soothing and I was relaxed closing my eyes listening until a loud obnoxious ad blasted in my ears 😂😂
I really loved this video. The original background music is back, and it teaches me about Fantastic Beasts which I have yet to watch. Videos like these which fill holes in my memory or knowledge of HP are so great.
What if she was her mother? Or was somehow related to him being also descendants of Slitherin. I feel their connection has more to it than just a mere coincidence of finding eachother in Albany
I was about to write exactly that!
We already know who the parents of Voldemort are, it's not nagini
We know she was Merope but what if she had the maledictus curse...
Anyway just an idea maybe she is related to him in some other way
She was not his biological mother, but definitely a metaphor for one.
She is about 30 years older than him (ideal age for mothehood), he used her venom to resurrect himself and to gain a rudimentary body that was in the form of a baby, he fed on her venom and it's referred to as milking, so the metaphor was Nagini nursing him. She's also a snake and his mother was Slytherin's heir.
Credence died. That's probably what happened and why Nagini would eventually be in that forest.
I have a theory what if when Voldemort make nagini a horcrux it knocked out a part of nagini soul forcing it into the empty part in Voldemort making him look like a snake and the Peace of soul that went into nagini is what made her evil
There’s no empty part in Voldemort. He splits it in half each time.
I'm pretty sure that Voldemort promised to Nagini to give her back her Human Form, as soon as he could recover his body too. But, when he decided to make a horcrux from her, she became infinitely loyal, and it wasn't that necessary to make real that old promise (that probably was just a lie to use her).
I really love Frenchie and Kimiko’s dynamic
I feel bad for nagini she lowkey had a hocrux and was only used to kill
I always thought that Voldy felt genuine affection towards her ,something that he would never show to anyone else not even his closest followers
False.
She was just a tool, nothing more. He proved this when he removed the bubble protection charm from her as soon as he thought Harry had died and his soul was safe. He only cared about his soul.
His reaction to her death also proves she was just a tool, especially when compared to his reaction to Bellatrix's death. When Nagini died, he only screamed (probably for his soul) and his reaction didn't go beyond his soul because her usefulness (i.e his soul) died with her. When Bella died, he screamed, sent the best three duellists there flailing through the air, and tried to kill Molly. This was thrice the reaction he had at Nagini's death and it went beyond usefulness, because Bella was the only one he had ever cared about, not Nagini.
@@ladolcevita235 Not quite
He never punishes her for any wrong doings... something he’d do to all the death eaters including Bellatrix
When Nagini died, he was very angry and tried to kill Longbottom
@@seanking6184 He didn't try to kill Neville lol. Why would he punish her? She has his soul in her. Besides, her being his Horcrux already causes her enough pain because Rowling said the soul in a Horcrux always tries to rejoin its master when they're in a close proximity, which causes great pain if it's a living Horcrux, like Harry and Nagini.
I love the portrayal of Nagini by Claudia Kim and I cannot wait to see her in the next Fantastic Beasts films.
Here's a wild idea though: if Mrs. Norris is a Maledictus, could Mrs. Norris be related to Nagini???
Being a Maledictus doesn't make you a relative of all other (Maledictii?) Didn't this very video state that everyone in Nagini's bloodline become snakes? Mrs. Norris being a cat, would mean that she comes from a different Maledictus bloodline.
Oh, I'm excited to see the video!
A once and a pure innocent soul turned into a cold hearted monster and a instrument of destruction.
i am Indonesian, so when voldemort snakes first appear in goblet of fire with name = Nagini. i was what?? seriously Rowling knew it? nagini is one of the monster legend that we often heard in here. And then in fantastic movie it appear again. Rowling is so bright
It's in Hindu Mythology.Im Indian ,Nagini is the name given for half human half snake.I was shocked as I'm Indian too.Indonesia has got influenced by Indian/Hindu ,so Nagini is also the word.
@@louisthelemur1238 Im Nigerian with interest in Indu history and mistikal Creatures. I have known the word and creature Nagini as far back as the early 80s from the movie Sinbad. Half snake, half woman. My original cause for being aquaphobic.
@@femidarefajuyi2104 oh cool!you will find Hindu mythology really interesting if you really look into it.and yes Naga and nagins are there.gods and goddesses.
I thought I was going to see this in one of the fantastic beasts
Can you do a video about how the wizarding world deal with Covid-19?
😂
Love your vids read series 3 times normally early to your vids
Loneliness makes it a lot easier to be manipulated. She wasn't evil, she was just lonely, and Voldemort was the only friend she had after turning into a snake. She had lived as a human and then to turn into a snake and have no meaningful connections with anyone was likely traumatic. So, when she finally met a human, she could talk to like she used to be able to before turning into a snake it was like a dream come true. He used her loneliness to turn her into a monster. He did something similar with Severus Snape, because he felt isolated thanks to the Marauders bullying him and keeping him away from Lily. He clung to other Slytherin students particularly the ones that turned into Death Eaters because he was lonely.
Maybe when nagini turned eviL when Voldemort put dark magic in her it’s like what happens to dumbledore when he put on the guant ring
voldemort is so evil that even having a part of his soul in yourself could turn you evil too
What would a muggle clairvoyant see if they came across Hogwarts? Aside from the typical ruins?
True but.not.every magically talented person gets an acceptance letter.
So by that logic what would aslightly talented clairvoyant who was not accepted see? Does that mean all non accepted magically talented people are just squibs like filtch?
Keep up the good work I watch all of your videos awesome content
The bottom line here is that no matter the creature/person/muggle/wizard/witch Voldemort 'connects' to......if you are inclined to the dark side, and hold that kind of being inside. True. Really true. Then you are privy to the circumstances......Sirius says it beautifully in OOTP: "The world is not split into good people and death eaters. We have both light and darkness in us"
Yea a bunch of cry baby's are having a hard time dealing with the fact Nagini turned evil. It's especially easy after you loose everything. She kind of reminds me of Darth Vader
In one of the Fantastic Beasts movies we need to see how Nagini meet Voldemort and how she became permanently a snake 🐍
When you realise nagini is albus dumbledore's sister in law
Claudia and Ezra told that Nagini and Credence are not lover
Neville beheaded an old lady...
Let that sink down😂😂😂😂
Nagini and Volde are a twistedly sweet pair together. While i dont care much for their evil, I do like how close they are
Simply put Nagini is the only person Voldemort will ever share his deepest emotions with and Voldemort is in inspiration for Nagini to keep going.
I wonder if it hurt her him making her one putting a part of the soul in her and she probably only did stuff for him cause he could talk to her it was the first person and made he told her the only person tht could talk to her
