    I actually was so star-eyed when I saw _Flipendo_ in Hogwarts Legacy. The same goes for _Glacius_ (this one really surprised me, considering I only knew glacius being used only in the PoA gamecube video game), _Reparo_ and _Depulso_ so many oldies from the gamecube/old pc

    I can actually see this one returning in Hogwarts Legacy, or at least a very similar spell, since it doesn't really cause harm it could be used as a defensive spell to push back enemies that get too close, or even to use the environment to your favor and cause damage

    My definition of canon is what the fans of a work considered to be true. The problem with anything that the author writes, is that JK is comically bad at world building. Also, things like the cursed child shouldn’t be considered canon.

    • @RetroRaconteur
      @RetroRaconteur  2 года назад +2

      In the early days, I actually think she was really good at it. Since the original series finished though...it's been a bit of a mess. Even the FB films, which she wrote, seem to play it fast and loose with some already established pieces of canon (like McGonagall's age, for example). And yeah...Cursed Child was a mess. Then again, she wasn't the main writer for that, but apparently does consider it canon 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Flipendo was in all versions of HP, not just on PC.
    (Strangely, the PC version of HP3 changed it to Depulso, and it was really confusing to us PC players back in the day).
    Knowing that JKR provided them with that information makes it more sense why all the games used it.
    Flipendo also appears in Cursed Child, which JKR herself considers canon, but I'm pretty sure she wasn't involved in the writing.

    • @yrooxrksvi7142
      @yrooxrksvi7142 2 года назад +2

      Flipendo pretty much disappeared after PoA, since it still existed on the PS2/XBOX/GC versions. Then Depulso and Stupefy succeeded it in OoTP.

    If it came from the person that made it it’s canon lol. We as individual fans can choose to acknowledge certain things or not yes, but that’s irrelevant. If the creator gives new information then that’s what it is. Not really all that subjective at all.

    Canon is the official continuity of any given story. Whether it comes from the original writers or not is irrelevant. Take the Bible, for example: it doesn't have a single author but rather many.
    The Old Testament came from oral (spoken) tradition among several different people that would be compiled into a huge scroll of parchment. And the New Testament was written thousands of years later.
    Part of the Old Testament is considered canonical to the Bible, but its original authors were not alive anymore. They didn't write the New Testament.

    • @drogadepc

      Moreover we cannot consider everything J.K says as canon, since many of the statements she made about the Harry Potter franchise after the books directly or indirectly contradicts previous statemens from the books.
