      That's because they were present in the collapsing loop while escaping from caul. It was a side effect. There was the good side effect, in which it restores the children's youth and the bad side effect from the failed experiment explained in the first book that turned caul and his followers into hollows.

      There's a difference between the reading ability you naturally have and the reading ability you get from a classroom.

      That's the point.

    • @vulpinedeity3379
      @vulpinedeity3379 8 лет назад +80

      We can't know if that's the point or not. All he said was that they can't read. And given the number of people I knew who could barely read in high school, and the sheer vastness of reading Hogwarts' students would be required to do in and out of the classroom would make it, if anything, the inverse of what you said. And how much does reading ability really increase in class, anyway? It's not like they have classes specifically _for_ it. Reading ability increases with use. The more you read, the more quickly you'll be able to and the more words you'll pick up as you go. If you want to pass your OWLs and NEWTs, you are going to be doing a _lot_ of reading. Especially if you want to get a good grade, up to and including an Outstanding.

      @Kalashee 8 лет назад +18

      Gonna have to disagree on that one. The "wizarding world" isnt located somewhere thats completely inaccessible to humans, AND the ministry uses magic to basically keep them from noticing magical happenings and locations (which seems kinda morally grey, but whatever). So how would one explain flying cars/dragons/death eaters/dark lords and all the other magical stuff if they were used to destroy or infringe upon the rest of the world? How would accountability hold up? The bridge incident is a good example.

      Considering that in book 3 Harry buys some hot chocolate for 2 sickles and that the price of a hot chocolate is about 3-4 dollars, that would mean a sickle is worth $1.50-2 dollars. And since there are 17 sickles to a galleon, that would mean that a galleon is worth about 25-35 dollars. Still pretty impressively frugal.

      It would be cool if they did let some squibs into the school. Even though they can't do magic, they would be excellent in subjects such as Muggle Studies, Astronomy and even help out in subjects that do require magic. They could learn every spell by heart and be ready to tell their peers what to do in case of an emergency. They could collect and add all of the potion ingredients into the potion and just let the witch or wizard do the wandwork. There are people in the muggle world trying to do divination, so it would be very interesting to see squibs try to do divination. History of Magic would be a great subject that they may excel at as well. While they would not be able to defend themselves in case of a battle, squibs could be amazing at doing physical fighting and could teach Hogwarts students physical defences like karate.
      This could be an amazing fanfic.

      But, the thing is, it isn't. It's in book 2 I believe, Harry is brought into Filch' office. On the desk, there is a letter describing a magic learning course for squibs. If it can be used by squibs, why couldn't it be used by muggles? After all, there must be at least a recessive gene for magic, other wise there would be no muggleborns/halfbloods. A squib is born of magical parents, while having no magic to say of their own. That means that the magical gene is still there, and were a squib to have a child, that pases on the gene, with the same 50/50 chance tto be able to go to Hogwarts, the same on the squib parent had.

      +Hallie Holme The Kwikspell course wasn't meant for squibs, though. In the letter it shows two reviews from a witch and wizard praising the course, and neither of them were squibs, they were simply poor with magic. The witch says that she can't remember incantations, and that her potions suck. The wizard says that his charms are feeble. And obviously Filch has no luck with the courses, so the Kwikspell thing clearly only works for sub-par wizards/witches. In other words, muggles and squibs can't be taught magic, for they don't have any magical power.
      This idea is also touched upon in the seventh book when the Death Eater regime rounds up muggle-borns, claiming that they are muggles who have stolen magical abilities from actual wizards and witches, which they know is impossible. "If you could steal magic, there wouldn't be any muggles or squibs, would there?"
      On the subject of squibs and muggle-borns, squibs are rare, while muggle-borns are much more common. Dumbledore's notes on The Tale's of Beedle the Bard tell us that there is a theory that muggle-borns exist because they have a magical ancestor. That being said, if this theory is true (which I think it is, because it makes no sense for a muggle to give birth to a wizard for no reason), then for a muggle-born to be created, they would have to have an ancestor who was a squib. That squib ancestor would have to have become a member of muggle society, had children with a muggle, and those children were non-magical, but still inherited the magic gene. That gene would then be passed down continuously until it resurfaced generations later, creating a "muggle-born". Since muggle-borns are common, while squibs are not, it must also be common for squibs to give birth to non-magical children, which would explain the abundance of muggle-borns. If a squib were just as likely to produce magical children as a witch or wizard, there would basically be no muggle-borns.

    MatPat, the ministry has to have a law that allows public wizard schools to reject squibs. If they had to have squibs there, then what would they learn? They can't do magic, and all they do at Hogwarts is magic. It's like having a kid sit in the corner at a school where he had no use for anything he was learning, couldn't do anything he was learning, and overall didn't need to be there. That would waste the kids time learning stuff he had no use for. The only thing the squib could really use is History of Magic, which proves to be a bore anyway.

What if Dumbledore knew that the spider wasn't the Slytherin monster and let Hagrid take the blame anyway just to fuck with him? What if harry's squib neighbor is under dumbledore's boot too?

      Woah there. First off, Hagrid's story is specifically told to us in the second story, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, where Hagrid is said NOT to be a squib (as he shows his magical abilities in literally every movie and story) but was expelled for a crime he did not commit. They snapped his wand (what they do every time someone is expelled, it is quite common place) and the headmaster, not Dumbledore, wanted him to leave immediately. Dumbledore actually wanted to keep him there because of his knack with all sorts of different creatures, and it even says in the story that Tom Riddle was annoyed and knew he couldn't open the chamber anymore because Dumbledore suspected him. Dumbledore wasn't even headmaster, only the Transfiguration teacher. He couldn't stop what the headmaster was going to do, when there was so much evidence pointing to Hagrid. Also, it never mentions in the story that Harry's neighbor was a squib, just that she was placed there to keep an eye on Harry. Furthermore, sure, it mentions that squibs aren't allowed, but never says that they lead oppressed lives. By the way, the french people from the fourth book never mention anything about being rich, while being good-looking, sure, but hey, it's fucking MAGIC. As a side note, Dumbledore is beloved by all magical folk and squibs. He even gave a job to Filch, who was a terrible person and of course a squib, but he is always present in the books WITH A JOB. Dumbledore is definitely NOT an "elitist fuck". Therefore, I suggest you fucking READ THE BOOKS AND WATCH THE MOVIES before you come back and show your sorry ass your dumb fucking complaint again and realize all the mistakes you have made.

And beside, when will you ever need to use all that advanced math stuff you learn in middle school and high school? Another thing is that this school just CAN'T physically train muggles.

      @James M - JKR has said herself that a certain level of magic is required for those subjects. Potions requires some magic in the brewing, Herbology in the growing, etc. This applies to subjects like Arithmancy and Ancient Runes too. Really, the only subjects they could learn would be History of Magic and Muggle Studies - one of which is not strictly useful and the other they could learn better in non-magical society.

    9:35 I'm going to have to disagree with you one this one: some of the instances you cited are only a problem when Harry is there(snake in the plumbing, death eaters, the troll (which had to be let in by the way), and dementors), and apparently 60-ish years prior when Tom opened the chamber the 1st time. all the permanent hazards are easily avoided and well known (how harry didn't know about the tree is beyond me, and the forest is officially of limits)

Either way, centaurs are just as smart as humans, if not more. second, yes Dumbledore planned to be killed by Snape. However, he did not plan for death eaters to break into the school and endanger his students. Also, you didn't address the fact that there is a giant squid in the lake, a tree that can kill you, a basilisk specifically intended to kill students, (muggle-borns) a three-headed dog, a teacher merged with Lord Voldemort, a teacher that turns into a werewolf, a teacher who was faking being the person who was supposed to teach and turned out to be Lord Voldemorts spy in the school, a contest that managed to get sabotaged by previous teacher, a student dying at the hands of Lord Voldemort because of said sabotage, well.... you get the idea.

    HP NERD OUT BELOW. You have been warned.
    There are some basic flaws in your arguments against Hogwarts on two points.
    First, Hogwarts has a fund for students who can't pay for their supplies, as explained by Dumbledore to Tom Riddle in the 6th book. I think it works like any financial aid plan would in the muggle world.
    Second, the fact that squibs can't go to Hogwarts is a matter of practicality and safety rather than discrimination. Though heavily based in discrimination because of the cultural bias against them, it is the best option for them to go to muggle schools (weirdly no one's yet had the bright idea to open a school specifically for children born into the wizarding world without magic, idk why) because they don't need magic for the curriculum, whereas in Hogwarts, the entire curriculum would be impassable.

      There is no need for any particular shool for squibs as muggle shools already provide that on their own. And as there sure is the discrimination to them I believe they serve as great, shall we say, ambassadors(?), links for the magical community to have in the muggle society. If something magical or illegal happens, they may very well be the ones to alert the Ministry.

    • @koalamanda8299
      @koalamanda8299 8 лет назад +3

If their families really are that prejudiced against Muggles then they probably won't want their Squib child to associate with Muggles, even if they think their child is dirt on their shoe. Just look at Filch. If he'd gotten a Muggle education, would he be hanging around Hogwarts all bitter like?

They know more than you’re making it out to be. You also don’t have to learn about the magical world as a squib. You are the offspring of WIZARDS.

      Rasbipac the thing is, during your first and second years of Hogwarts, there are a list of required classes you must take: Potions, DADA, Transfiguration, Charms, History of Magic, and Astronomy. These are core classes that every student is required to take every year. Once you get to your third year, you are allowed to take two Elective classes (or in Hermione's case, all of them), which are your Muggles Studies and Arithmency and Frog Choir. The issue for Squibs is that they have to get through their first two years successfully, passing their exams for all six required classes, with only having the ability to actually learn the curriculum in two of them.

Considering the students are accepted into the school at age twelve (I think), they would probably also know basic math, if only to do potions (which I would assume is similar enough to cooking and *that* requires some math).
    Admittedly, I'd think the students should probably get a little more math than just Grade 6, but considering how much people forget from the grades after that, maybe they'll be fine.

      They may not have the same laws in the harry potters universe, but this is they were theoretically in our world and we know about them. It would be unfair to let hogwarts stay hidden to the world while everyone knows about professor x’s school.

      Bluejay Warrior even if they were in our world and we knew about them Hogwarts exists tight next to a completely wizard community (hogsmead) so it's not getting surrounded by the government anytime soon.plus I think even if we knew about the wizard I think they would still continue to have the same laws

      Arham Shahid I have to disagree with you. The UK would definitely attempt to get the wizard community to abide by their laws. If the community chooses not to then we’d have a feud between the UK and wizards, making it even harder for normal people, like you and me, to get into Hogwarts. Don’t forget this is in the real world where the odds of us being wizards are very little.

      Charlton Christian Of course Miss Peregrine teach the children but the problem is that it is a secret home for peculiar children. She needs to teach them because they can't learn with other people in the outside world. Does my home count as a school just because my mom teached me how to speak? I don't think so. That is not a good reason.

    Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
    Teach us something please,
    Whether we be old and bald
    Or young with scabby knees,
    Our heads could do with filling
    With some interesting stuff,
    For now they’re bare and full of air,
    Dead flies and bits of fluff,
    So teach us things worth knowing,
    Bring back what we’ve forgot,
    Just do your best, we’ll do the rest,
    And learn until our brains all rot.

      Oh you may not think I'm pretty,
      But don't judge on what you see,
      I'll eat myself if you can find
      A smarter hat than me.
      You can keep your bowlers black,
      Your top hats sleek and tall,
      For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
      And I can cap them all.
      There's nothing hidden in your head
      The Sorting Hat can't see,
      So try me on and I will tell you
      Where you ought to be.
      You might belong in *Gryffindor* ,
      Where dwell the brave at heart,
      Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
      Set Gryffindors apart;
      You might belong in *Hufflepuff* ,
      Where they are just and loyal,
      Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
      And unafraid of toil;
      Or yet in wise old *Ravenclaw* ,
      if you've a ready mind,
      Where those of wit and learning,
      Will always find their kind;
      Or perhaps in *Slytherin* ,
      You'll make your real friends,
      Those cunning folks use any means
      To achieve their ends.
      So put me on! Don't be afraid!
      And don't get in a flap!
      You're in safe hands (though I have none)
      For I'm a Thinking Cap!
