Ron often "swears" in the books. I recall many times when he said something like "what in the name of merlin's saggy left-" and was cut off by someone.
Christine S it would make sense if most of the characters in the books got a chocolate card. especially those in the order of the phoenix and those who fought in the battle of hogwarts
I think it was more Dumbledore could SENSE his presence through the spell, but couldn't actually SEE him, because as we all know, this Cloak was the real deal.
Actually, J.K. Rowling had intended to make Dudley's child a wizard and that in the epilogue of Harry Potter, Harry and Dudley would meet at the Platform 9 3/4 to see their children off to Hogwarts. But then J.K. Rowling changed her mind and stated that "no magic gene will ever get past down to the Dursley due to Harry's uncle intense hatred towards magic".
Technically Vernons hatred comes from what he has heard from his wife Petunia. Everything Vernon and Dudley knew about magic came from her. She was initially envious of her sisters magic and that envy evolved into hatred. She took in Harry because she knew that her sisters magic protected Harry (and them as well) as long as he stayed with someone related to him on his mothers side. Even if she hated and mistreated him, she still "cared" enough to not let him be murdered :P
No, it's definitely Vernon's innate hatred and genetic normalcy that killed any chances of Dudley's kids being magical. Vernon hated magic before he even knew there was magic; it's what drew Petunia to Vernon. Petunia sensed he had an affinity for the ordinary and hated everything that wasn't, so it was only to be expected for him to hate magic. Check out Vernon & Petunia Dursley on Pottemore. You've kind of said it yourself, Petunia's hatred of magic was sourced in envy, and I don't think that's enough to kill the gene. If she had married someone who wasn't "the worst sort of muggle imaginable," Dudley could definitely have had some magical offspring. But then the Dursley's wouldn't have been the Dursley's and Harry wouldn't have gone through all that character building (cough cough, abuse, cough)!
Ginny is one year unter Hermione. BUT Hermione did not attend her seventh year at Hogwarts, while Ginny did attend her sixth year at Hogwarts. So AFTER the war was over they both went to their shared seventh year at Hogwarts. Together.
Tom Dunne Hermione, Ron and harry quit hog warts before their last year so that they could look for horcruxes then hermione went back to do her finals.
I've always imagined that those kids who studied in Hogwarts during the events of Deathly Hallows would go that through that grade again, because when Snape was the Headmaster, things were quite a lot different in Hogwarts. They weren't exactly teaching all those things they should've and some parts of magic they weren't supposed to teach the students according to the normal rules. So, according to that logic, Ginny would still be in her sixth grade (although in seventh year), when Hermione was on her seventh grade (and also on her seventh year, because she left the school after sixth grade/year and came back only after the events of DH). Of course, I have no fact-based knowledge of this, so don't take it too seriously. It's just what I figured that happened. (and sorry if this text has some errors, english is not my first language).
Actually most of the stuff they taught was the same. I mean Herbiology doesn't change when Death Eaters take over the school, neither do Charms or Astrology and so on. The only thing that they probably did not get taught properly was DaDa, because there was no DaDa. And they were at war, so they probably knew what they would have learned already. And considering that Hermione, Ron and Harrys other DaDa teachers included a guy with Voldemort on his head, a guy who could only cast one spell really good and Umbrige, I think learning Dark Arts, instead of Defence against the Dark Arts is not that much of a difference. At least they learned something.
My point, guys, was that other creatures die, too. Not that no creatures live forever (: do you think Hermione is older than everyone after using the time tuner?
Yeah she graduated with them since she didn't attend her 7th year and went after the war which was Ginny and Luna's 7th year and her basically finally finishing
You wouldn't think that a reveal spell simple enough to be used by a student would be powerful enough to overcome an enchantment as great as a deathly hallow.
postmasterpez or he is actually Ron, who used a time Turner to go back and become dumbledore, meaning he knew harry had gone because harry told him afterwards
that's a stupid theory full of flaws... such as the sister Ariana... etc. also that would mess up time so badly... hominem revelio is a silent spell which reveals nearby people to you...
+CAT LOLS Make s NO sense. Why would Ron (as Dumbledore) bring the boy Riddle to Hogwarts knowing who he becomes? Surely he could've cast a memory charm to make him forget he had powers and then (being the great and powerful Dumbledore) remove his powers or restrict their use?
Not read The Cursed Child (don't know if I will either) but all before the end of the books I knew and speculated some of the others. I knew Harry would be on chocolate-frog cards but all three of them made me really happy. The fate of Neville's parents seemed set in stone after being described in the 5th book and Dudley obviously appreciated Harry somewhat in the end so...
Number 10 bugs me, like, a lot. If the Tale of the Three Brothers was real, and there's some decent evidence it was since the Stone works, then how does a simple spell see through a cloak powerful enough to hide its wearer from Death itself? And doesn't Moody's eye see through it a couple times too?
DragonLandlord That's how humans work actually... for some reason (not all of us) but many humans can actually sense things we can't see... It´s kind of a survival defense. We feel like there is something that is not right or out of the ordinary, but we can't put a finger on what. I guess that is why Snape almost caught them from time to time. He is good at sensing things... Plus humans are not entirely quiet. Footsteps, breathing... and so on... The cloak makes you invisible not muted. (do you say muted in this sentence? Not born a english-speaker so I'm not sure!). (^_^)
She could have made up wizarding swear words for Ron to use, I mean why would muggle swear words be used by wizards if they mostly grow up detached from the muggle world?
Yeah, but that doesn't mean they only know muggle swear words. They're very fond of muggles, but they're not always very good at figuring out muggle objects or habits or things like that
It's a possibility? The wizarding language isn't any different from the muggle world too. Or maybe JKR haven't thought much about that. Or she wasn't allowed to do that either.
1. I guess that's why in the Lego HP games, Voldemort's boggart is Harry. 2. Makes sense... 3. Poor Dumbledore!!! 4. I always thought that the two wouldn't. 5. Literally best fact of all time. 6. Snape. Can seem to be bad, but has a slight breakthrough at death. 7. Wasn't tks mentioned in the movie? I feel like it was, but probably not. I still feel like Neville is the real chosen one but Voldemort chose Harry himself. ;-; 8. One of my favorite facts. 9. It's shown in the Cursed Child though... which is technically a HP book. 10. Dang. Dumbledore the smart
Arianna Dovahkiin No, Cursed Child is not 'technically' a Harry Potter book. It is not. Sure, it is a bound book with pages but it is just the bound version of the script of a PLAY. Play scripts are not books, nor are the plays themselves. You cannot righteously criticize this fact with the backup that it was revealed in Cursed Child!!! I am tired of people saying that there are now eight books, because there is NOT! There is seven books, one play, and one bound and published play script!!! Thank you for listening to my concerns.
Okay. Me calling it was a book is a little out of line. But with me, I count it as a half book- same with Shakespeare. It is written as a play, but being brought onto paper, in a book manuscript, I count it as a book... Like a dictionary is just a list of word meanings, but it counts as a book. :P But that's just my view on the matter
Didn't Dudley set their childhood feud aside completely after Harry saved him from the dementor in OotP while Harry forgave him but had a hard time being around him? It's pretty evident in the DH goodbye scene that Dudley likes Harry and regrets his actions.
Jk Rowling said that after the attack, Dudley now saw what was wrong with him and what he had been doing wrong all his life, therefore he started to change his attitude and personality since the dementors went after him because all he had were a lot of bad mean memories
Also, as we all know, horcruxes cause anger and hate and fear to all in their immediate vicinity. And Harry was a horcrux! Once the fragment of Voldy's soul was no longer in Harry, the psychological side effect of those nearby hating him was able to wear off.
Marie Delaroche when I saw the movie (haven't gotten around to the book series) I honestly thought when he was talking about socks that he was a simple happy man with no regrets or needs.
In Deathly Hallows, Percy Weasley abruptly decides to reconcile himself with his father and family. That happens to be about the same time that Peter "Wormtail" Pettigrew dies. Pettigrew, as Scabbers the rat, had been Percy's pet before he was Ron's. The books didn't way anything about any spells Pettigrew might've cast on Percy, but Pettigrew had plenty of opportunity to do so, and it might've worn off just as he died.
I always just figured that since soo many people say that Harry takes after James, Dumbledore always knew that Harry would be hiding there. I never thought he used a spell.
Once Remus died and all the Marauders were gone, the Marauders Map cleared itself from all its contents, instead choosing to forever display the words, _Mischief Managed_
other than those facts, i just want to say that the pictures and music were perfect for this video! they really created the kind of tone you'd want. the music wasn't loud not too soft to make you want to go to sleep. it was just right. well done☺
Except for the chocolate frog cards I already knew them all, but I must say that Harry, Ron and Hermione making it onto those cards only made sense after what they had done. Harry might have been the chosen one to destroy Voldemort, but without Ron and Hermione he would definitely have failed. Basically the same for Frodo (Lord of the Rings) who had to destroy the one ring, but who would definitely have failed without Sam. Maybe a clear message about how you cannot obtain true success all by yourself but how you do need the support of others. Oh, I'm getting too philosophical here. I can also add that Flitwick is part goblin, and that is the reason he is so small. I believe Rowling did plan to mention that in the books, but never found the right place to do that.
Oml, on Ron's the second one, it looked like the intro to his intervention😂😂 "Ron. Sit down we need to talk about you cursing problem" "sit down, it's safe here"
FANTASTIC BEAST SPOILER On the Grindelwald/Dumbledore thing: I think when Graves (Grindelwald) asks Newt why Dumbledore liked him so much, he's a little jealous. Thoughts?
Sam Wendt I'm convinced that one of the next movies will be about their romance and about his sister Ariane who could be an Obscurus (really, read the 7th Book again, there are a lot of hints!)
The guy who voiced the audio books couldn't pronounce "harry pocketed it" he kept reading "harry pocketeded it" he call jk Rowling and asked if he could say harry put it in his pocket, she said no. The phrase "harry pocketed it" appeared in the remaining books
I liked this video. I know alot of harry potter trivia, but still learned some new stuff. And its great having the quotes and background info. Well done.
This was a great video. Your set-up of the facts are great and the inclusion of quotes and the beautiful pictures and music are absolutely amazing. And you definitely hit home on the no speaking thing. Kudos, friend. Kudos.
i remember when i was having a geek-out with a few friends, and we got to the potter-verse, and someone asked me how i had reacted, and i told them it really didnt matter, not because of equality though, but because Dumbledore doesnt have time for relationships. he could be sexually attracted to hammers and itd still be the same he is a busy guy
Some I new, but some finally managed to teach me something new. But these facts with the music that was paying just made me sad thinking about it. It's a bit extreme, but Hermione, Ron and Harry would be seen like we see people like Anne Frank for example, people who lived in the darkest times of they're world and will be known about forever. J.K Rowling really did create something beautiful.
beautifully done video, the music choice was great and gave the facts more emotional weight than they would have if persented differently. the editing was really good too, and the facts where actually interesting so good job.
To fact #5: Dubledoor is Gay First, my argument is completely from a literary point of view. When you do a character analysis you can only go with what is actually in the written source material. You SHOW the reader who the character is, you don't TELL them who the character is. There is little if any evidence in the first seven books that establish any sexual orientation for the character. The author had plenty of time in her world building to include some artifacts that could suggest what she wants to be true. But she failed to do so. The intent of the author and the vision they have of the character is helpful to them to determine how they would act in a given situation, but if it doesn't get in the book that is where it ends. She could have a photo album of his Hogwarts days sitting next to a boy on a bench holding hands, in a pensive memory he could have mused on the attractiveness of a man he met at the ministry. Small things like that would not have detracted from the plot any more than the dozen obligatory pages about a quiddich match. But she chose not to. Dumbledore from the evidence in the book IS NOT GAY and he isn't straight either. He has no sexual orientation. Because for whatever reason it wasn't important to his character. It doesn't matter if the Author herself thinks it's true, or wishes she had done more to establish it in the books. So until she gets around to publishing Harry Potter: The After Years, and has a scene where Harry's Hogwarts reunion comes and sorts through a trunk of Dumbledore's things and find some evidence. Or she writes a prequel and includes substance to the fact, it will remain as it is now. The characters are only what is printed.
Yeah no, that isn't how it works among literary scholars. The creator can say something, and the fan base can accept it, but that doesn't make it true from a scholarly point of view. And that is the point I was arguing from. I said as much in the very first sentence of my argument. Personally I HOPE she writes more novels that exlore the the characters more deeply in a less "the world is ending" setting. I know "the world is on fire and we have to save it" is exciting and sells books, but could you imagine a fantasy romantic comedy involving a dumbledore love triangle. It would be wonderful.
You can be completely devoted to someone or something without having a sexual attraction. You wouldn't say Mother Teresa wasn't completely devoted to the cause of serving the poor if she didn't think about how sexually attracted she was to them. No, that isn't good enough. I gave examples of what would constitute in text evidence. A vague slip of the tongue isn't substantial. She didn't say, "I was completely devoted to Grendlewald, and I realized that the moment we looked each other in the eye after a tender embrace." ... No, there was nothing of the sort ANYWHERE in the novels. Now granted that is pretty extreme and wouldn't be appropriate to the setting in a book aimed at children, but you hopefully get the point.
I am on the verge of tears! The music and heart warming facts got to me. As long as the sad ones, like Neville's parents. AND DUDLEY AND HARRY! I COULDN'T HANDEL IT! IT WAS MY FAVORITE ONE! I CANT EXPRESE HOW MUCH I LOVE IT!
Miatpi Maybe he's not able to produce one? He probably doesn't have very many happy memories with all that's happened to him, much less a memory happy enough to produce a patronus
Sadly, while the books were very entertaining, J.K. Rowling was not very good at building a consistent fantasy world and frequently contradicts herself in her statements and in the books. I call bullshit on the fact that Snape's portrait didn't appear because he "abandoned" his post as headmaster before his death. Fleeing from a duell in which his second in command tries to capture or kill him hardly qualifies as resigning and Minister Pius Thickness certainly did not sack him. Rowling just made that up when fans pestered her why there was no portrait of Snape mentioned in Harry's final conversation with Dumbledores portrait, she had probably just forgotten that it should be there when she wrote the scene.I also call bullshit on the statement that Dumbledore could sense Harry under the invisibility cloak using a silent "hominum revelio". In book 7, Rowling had revealed that the cloak was actually the third deathly hallow, it's protection not penetrable by any magic. If it was that easy, the cloak would hardly have been such a unique artefact. It also would have been incredibly unlikely that no one else ever tried that (Like e.g. the deatheater who tried "accio invisibility cloak" when Harry and his friends arrived in Hogsmeade in the 7th book and set off the caterwauling charm.A third statement I find rather unlikely is that Harry never graduated from Hogwarts, since we learn in book 6 that you definitely need NEWTS in several subjects (too lazy to look up the specific ones right now) to become an auror and we learn in book 7 that Harry did beome an auror, though I concede that they may have just made an exception for him based on the fact that he brought down the most dangerous dark wizard of all time.
Actually I think that one of the main reasons Harry Potter is as succesful as it is now is that J. K. Rowling DID create a whole world with full of details and explanations. Of course we can find little mistakes in anything - no, I wouldn't say mistaxes but little unexplained or overexplained situations - but in the whole this is the ONLY series where the writer stays involved in all the movies, even in the Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them series and has a word and opinion that counts; like when she said that Dumbledore was gay although it had not been written in any of the books. And the way the story opens and turns out is crazy - when you read the books again you can really see why things happen as they happen and I can always found new details every time I read them.
Chris Rudolf Elder wand ? Although I must admit I don't think Rowling actually thought of it...but it makes perfect sense that elder wand can see through invisibility cloak!
Nabin Great Well, on the one hand you do have a point, if there was one item that could penetrate through the defense of the cloak, then it might probably be another deathly hallow. But on the other hand, according to the tale of the three brothers, Ignotus Peverell used the cloak succesfully to hide from death himself, thereby escaping death's revenge. That is IMHO a strong point against the theory that other artefacts created by death could beat it. But maybe I'm overthinking it now, there were hints in the book that the tale of the three brothers was probably just a legend with a true core, not literally true.
1: "I think it was pretty obvious" -Lockhart 2: He said bloody quite a few times. 3: Guess what, that's what a THEORY is. 4: One point to you. 5: This was revealed and is now famous for starting a trend, also she said she, to quote your source, "Always THOUGHT of Dumbledore as gay". It's confirmed at this point, so second point. 6: It doesn't say he does it himself. 7: I think it was obvious, after 17 years, it's a lost hope. 8: They literally reconciled at the start of book 7. 9: I'd think this would have been obvious. Anyone trivial was on it. 10: It's rather obvious, only one Hallow could likely detect the other. 2 out of 10.
In my opinion, anything that wasn't in the books isn't a thing. JK Rowling could have written it in instead of adding it sometime later to make society happy. Example: Dumbledore is gay. Absolutely nothing in the books suggested it, it was added later.
Depends on how you look at it, I guess. In the last book when Dumbledore revealed his friendship and Grindelwald, I always thought he talked about the other boy in a rather romantic manner. Might've been because of the Norwegian translation though, as "inflamed", in most scenarios means "horny as fuck" here.
Correct, if it isn't in the book then it shouldn't be considered cannon. I'd argue that the movies could be considered cannon as well because there are some minor differences, but nothing major. As for the language of translation. I'd stick with the English translation for the simple reason it was originally written in English and later translated, and as the old saying goes things are often lost in translation.
it isn't flat out stated, but when looking through Skeeter's tell all book. they discuss the unusual relation ship between the boys, implying it strongly
Larry Bobinski did you just say there are no major changes in the movie DUDE HARRY SNAPPED THE ELDER WAND IN 2 IN THE MOVIE WHILE IN THE BOOK HE PLACED IT BACK IN DUMBLEDORES THOMB.
On the one Hand, JKR as the author and Inventor of those stories has every right to add to her stories and also to Change them, so if she says something is "fact" in the HP-universe then it is fact. Period. If she should decide today that Hermione was black, Ron was bisexual, Lavender Brown was actually a Boy and Sibyl Trelawy was a sphinx, then it is fact. On the other hand, a whole different issue is if we buy it that the made up on the spot facts she reveals in interviews or the feeble explanations she gives on Pottermore to cover up some of the plotholes in her stories are really all things she intended all along. Also, a "fact" about the story in a book is not worth anything if there is not the slightest hint at it in the story itself and the reader has no possibility to even suppose that "fact" might be possible.
Nice video. I love harry potter more than anyone else I know, and I didn't know a couple of these facts. But the cloak is the most powerful one ever, and in the deathly hallows they could only see their shadows with the spell.
Didn't a death eater use Hominum Revelio, and it failed to detect Harry and co. when they were under the invisibility cloak in Hogsmeade? Granted, maybe it's just that his wand and skill are such that he can simply cast a more powerful version of the spell which could break past the defenses of the cloak. However, I think it would make more sense that Dumbledore developed his own method of detecting the cloak, considering he had it in his possession for about 10 years. He would have had ample time to study it and develop his own charm to detect or see through it.
Ron often "swears" in the books. I recall many times when he said something like "what in the name of merlin's saggy left-" and was cut off by someone.
That may have been what Rowling meant -- he gets cut off just before getting to the "important" part of the swear.
"What in Marlins most saggy Y-fronts" is my favorite
"Bloody hell"
Hermione said Merlin's pants once. It was considered a big deal by Ron.
He usually says effing( f- ing,)
Please tell me Neville got a chocolate frog card too.
Christine S it would make sense if most of the characters in the books got a chocolate card. especially those in the order of the phoenix and those who fought in the battle of hogwarts
people gush over Harmony and Draymione, but I love good ol' Neville and Luna
Sir Wildrunner are you saying Neville married Luna
No he didn't. That was just the MOVIES. Their relationship is NOT in the books. He married Hannah Abbott and Luna married Rolf Scamander.
well then I ship em. like Harmony or Draymione. Nevuna ftw!
I think it was more Dumbledore could SENSE his presence through the spell, but couldn't actually SEE him, because as we all know, this Cloak was the real deal.
L
Mubashra Falik I agree because it says in the seventh book that no spell can reveal the person that has the invisibility cloak on.
I agree. Before I thought about it, I was kind of confused when I read that, thinking that I must've misread something in the books...
or the fact that dumbledore had the elder wand might have been the reason he could see him through the cloak.
yh but how could the brother escape death if he could be seen by a simple spell
I think it would of been really cool if they made one of dudley's kids a witch or wizard
Lewis Smith DUDLEY HAS KIDS???!!!
Actually, J.K. Rowling had intended to make Dudley's child a wizard and that in the epilogue of Harry Potter, Harry and Dudley would meet at the Platform 9 3/4 to see their children off to Hogwarts. But then J.K. Rowling changed her mind and stated that "no magic gene will ever get past down to the Dursley due to Harry's uncle intense hatred towards magic".
Faiz Amin knowing that, any magical kids they had would've made another obscurial.

But then the Dursley's wouldn't have been the Dursley's and Harry wouldn't have gone through all that character building (cough cough, abuse, cough)!
Does the fact that Hermione went back to Hogwarts mean that she was in the same year as Ginny?
Yes, they finished school together =)
Ginny is one year unter Hermione. BUT Hermione did not attend her seventh year at Hogwarts, while Ginny did attend her sixth year at Hogwarts. So AFTER the war was over they both went to their shared seventh year at Hogwarts. Together.
Tom Dunne Hermione, Ron and harry quit hog warts before their last year so that they could look for horcruxes then hermione went back to do her finals.

Yes, Tom, because only humans die.
Jane Doe I believe some beings in their universe don't die (like the phoenix)
Eliman8 III It dies eventually. It just lives very long.
EM11212 can dementors die? I thought phoenixes live indefinitely until they are killed or commit suicide.
Eliman8 III I think Dementors live forever. In mythology, Phoenixes can live thousands of years but will eventually die.
My point, guys, was that other creatures die, too. Not that no creatures live forever (: do you think Hermione is older than everyone after using the time tuner?
6:34 - Loved the mention in Cursed Child that Dudley had brought Harry's baby blanket back to him after Petunia passed away.
So, Hermoine graduated with Ginny and Luna?
AmiWhiteWolf After the war, Hermione returns to Hogwarts to complete her year.
AmiWhiteWolf or she just sat the exams and was done with it... but knowing her she'd want to go through the motions.
Yeah she graduated with them since she didn't attend her 7th year and went after the war which was Ginny and Luna's 7th year and her basically finally finishing
Wouldnt Luna need to retake her sixts year
Zazzysylvester no.
You wouldn't think that a reveal spell simple enough to be used by a student would be powerful enough to overcome an enchantment as great as a deathly hallow.
Also, the spell was being performed by another of the hallows, the elder wand...
thanks, wouldn't have thought of that.. also explains why snape never (succesfully?) used the spell when he heard Harry while partolling the halls :D
But that doesn't explain why the death itself cannot find the wearer. Are you suggesting that the death cannot cast magic?
Its a little hazy when it comes to the cloak... Is it one of the deathly hallows or 'just' another, yet rare invisibility cloak?
can madran I think that's a myth like the story of the three brothers and the river
I always thougt that it was due to Dubbeldores great intuion that gave him the power to se when Harry is inviseble.
postmasterpez Harry takes the cloak off when he is there
silent spell to know he was there.
postmasterpez or he is actually Ron, who used a time Turner to go back and become dumbledore, meaning he knew harry had gone because harry told him afterwards
that's a stupid theory full of flaws... such as the sister Ariana... etc. also that would mess up time so badly... hominem revelio is a silent spell which reveals nearby people to you...
+CAT LOLS
Make s NO sense. Why would Ron (as Dumbledore) bring the boy Riddle to Hogwarts knowing who he becomes? Surely he could've cast a memory charm to make him forget he had powers and then (being the great and powerful Dumbledore) remove his powers or restrict their use?
Any other Potterheads already know all these? NOT hating or anything on the video, I love it, but . . . yeah.
Regan Hoffman yep exactly what I was thinking
It's a good video but
Not read The Cursed Child (don't know if I will either) but all before the end of the books I knew and speculated some of the others. I knew Harry would be on chocolate-frog cards but all three of them made me really happy. The fate of Neville's parents seemed set in stone after being described in the 5th book and Dudley obviously appreciated Harry somewhat in the end so...
Regan Hoffman pretty much know em' all
Not everyone is a Potterhead ;)
Mina yeah
Number 10 bugs me, like, a lot. If the Tale of the Three Brothers was real, and there's some decent evidence it was since the Stone works, then how does a simple spell see through a cloak powerful enough to hide its wearer from Death itself? And doesn't Moody's eye see through it a couple times too?
That's EXACTLY what I thought!!!!
I'm not sure about Moody, BUT I guess the spell Dumbledore used might have worked because he had the elder wand. :)
It's because it was from the elder wand, they are both from the deathly hallows so it makes sense and it is the strongest wand in the world
how about all the times Snape almost caught them in the halls with nothing more than his senses?
DragonLandlord That's how humans work actually... for some reason (not all of us) but many humans can actually sense things we can't see... It´s kind of a survival defense. We feel like there is something that is not right or out of the ordinary, but we can't put a finger on what. I guess that is why Snape almost caught them from time to time. He is good at sensing things...
Plus humans are not entirely quiet. Footsteps, breathing... and so on... The cloak makes you invisible not muted. (do you say muted in this sentence? Not born a english-speaker so I'm not sure!). (^_^)
She could have made up wizarding swear words for Ron to use, I mean why would muggle swear words be used by wizards if they mostly grow up detached from the muggle world?
Considering the Weasleys are quite fond of muggles, Ron may have learnt some.
Yeah, but that doesn't mean they only know muggle swear words. They're very fond of muggles, but they're not always very good at figuring out muggle objects or habits or things like that
It's a possibility? The wizarding language isn't any different from the muggle world too. Or maybe JKR haven't thought much about that. Or she wasn't allowed to do that either.
Lucian Waltz True, that is a fair point
I believe "Merlin's beard" is one
ron swore A LOT in the books too, it just said ron swore not the actual word, and in the books it said that snape's portrait didn't appear
I prefer the #1 version of Voldie's body, so that everyone saw he was that. Now he was just disappearing in ashes :/ Really nice video!
In the "19 Years Later" scene, I was hoping Dudley would show up on platform 9&3/4 with a young witch or wizard in tow.
*Cries a little over Neville*
1. I guess that's why in the Lego HP games, Voldemort's boggart is Harry. 2. Makes sense...
3. Poor Dumbledore!!!
4. I always thought that the two wouldn't.
5. Literally best fact of all time.
6. Snape. Can seem to be bad, but has a slight breakthrough at death.
7. Wasn't tks mentioned in the movie? I feel like it was, but probably not. I still feel like Neville is the real chosen one but Voldemort chose Harry himself. ;-;
8. One of my favorite facts.
9. It's shown in the Cursed Child though... which is technically a HP book.
10. Dang. Dumbledore the smart
Arianna Dovahkiin Neville is the real chosen one! Everybody who says otherwise is wrong. Also Neville is BAE.
Arianna Dovahkiin No, Cursed Child is not 'technically' a Harry Potter book. It is not. Sure, it is a bound book with pages but it is just the bound version of the script of a PLAY. Play scripts are not books, nor are the plays themselves. You cannot righteously criticize this fact with the backup that it was revealed in Cursed Child!!! I am tired of people saying that there are now eight books, because there is NOT! There is seven books, one play, and one bound and published play script!!! Thank you for listening to my concerns.
Tess Bellman thank goodness
Tess Bellman Cursed child is canon, so I count it as part of the series. You don't have to agree with me, but I know that many people do.
Okay. Me calling it was a book is a little out of line. But with me, I count it as a half book- same with Shakespeare. It is written as a play, but being brought onto paper, in a book manuscript, I count it as a book... Like a dictionary is just a list of word meanings, but it counts as a book. :P But that's just my view on the matter
I almost cried about Neville's parents condition. The music makes me sentimental. The characters are like real persons who get hurt.
Didn't Dudley set their childhood feud aside completely after Harry saved him from the dementor in OotP while Harry forgave him but had a hard time being around him? It's pretty evident in the DH goodbye scene that Dudley likes Harry and regrets his actions.
Jk Rowling said that after the attack, Dudley now saw what was wrong with him and what he had been doing wrong all his life, therefore he started to change his attitude and personality since the dementors went after him because all he had were a lot of bad mean memories
Also, as we all know, horcruxes cause anger and hate and fear to all in their immediate vicinity. And Harry was a horcrux! Once the fragment of Voldy's soul was no longer in Harry, the psychological side effect of those nearby hating him was able to wear off.
In the first book, Dumbledore said that if he looked in the mirror he saw himself with a pair of socks
Marie Delaroche Would you say to an 11 year old boy u just met that ur deepest wish is to see the family u once killed and ruined reunited?
Obviously he lied to Harry... He couldn't say what happened to an 11 years old
" . . . But then, harry realized, it had been an extremely personal question."
exactly
Marie Delaroche when I saw the movie (haven't gotten around to the book series) I honestly thought when he was talking about socks that he was a simple happy man with no regrets or needs.
That picture of Alice and Frank... and then there's just Mad-Eye in the background 😂😂
Wow. I kinda guessed some of this but her work is more beautiful now. I even learned a new word "ignominious". Good job researching!
In Deathly Hallows, Percy Weasley abruptly decides to reconcile himself with his father and family. That happens to be about the same time that Peter "Wormtail" Pettigrew dies. Pettigrew, as Scabbers the rat, had been Percy's pet before he was Ron's. The books didn't way anything about any spells Pettigrew might've cast on Percy, but Pettigrew had plenty of opportunity to do so, and it might've worn off just as he died.
It is stated in the books that Nevilles parents would stay at St. Mungos.
mtma1996 Yes, but I think the video means that even after the series ends they don't get better.
I always just figured that since soo many people say that Harry takes after James, Dumbledore always knew that Harry would be hiding there. I never thought he used a spell.
Once Remus died and all the Marauders were gone, the Marauders Map cleared itself from all its contents, instead choosing to forever display the words, _Mischief Managed_
Florencia Montiel Rios :(((((((
This comment was honestly more real than the video and hit me right in the heart
w h y 😭😭
The music was amazing! It made all the facts emotional somehow
I really like how you added evidence to all of your points.
Well, If he didn't no one would believe him.
@ Riki, thats not how the internet works. Most people will believe everything they read. Thats why snopes exists
Man this feels so real, wish we really had a magical world too.
This made me nostalgic for some reason.
other than those facts, i just want to say that the pictures and music were perfect for this video! they really created the kind of tone you'd want. the music wasn't loud not too soft to make you want to go to sleep. it was just right.
well done☺
MS Zame I almost fell asleep, but it was beautiful and it was perfect for the video.
Arwen Undomiel ikr, it was just so relaxing☺😊
Neville finished the job for his parents who couldn't do it themselves...😭😭😭
Thank you for this beautiful video I really enjoyed the music and learning some things about the Harry Potter Universe I didn't know.
Except for the chocolate frog cards I already knew them all, but I must say that Harry, Ron and Hermione making it onto those cards only made sense after what they had done. Harry might have been the chosen one to destroy Voldemort, but without Ron and Hermione he would definitely have failed. Basically the same for Frodo (Lord of the Rings) who had to destroy the one ring, but who would definitely have failed without Sam. Maybe a clear message about how you cannot obtain true success all by yourself but how you do need the support of others. Oh, I'm getting too philosophical here.
I can also add that Flitwick is part goblin, and that is the reason he is so small. I believe Rowling did plan to mention that in the books, but never found the right place to do that.
TheRealTricky o.o
Oml, on Ron's the second one, it looked like the intro to his intervention😂😂 "Ron. Sit down we need to talk about you cursing problem" "sit down, it's safe here"
Great vid! I love that you based it off the books, and not the movies!
"My editor wouldn't let any of my characters swear". So we're just gonna pretend Molly Weasley wasn't a character in the battle of Hogwarts?
FANTASTIC BEAST SPOILER
On the Grindelwald/Dumbledore thing: I think when Graves (Grindelwald) asks Newt why Dumbledore liked him so much, he's a little jealous. Thoughts?
Explain more, jealous of newt being liked by Dumbledore? Or what? Please explain im interested lol
Lol true.
Sam Wendt I'm convinced that one of the next movies will be about their romance and about his sister Ariane who could be an Obscurus (really, read the 7th Book again, there are a lot of hints!)
At least they all were reunited after death
The guy who voiced the audio books couldn't pronounce "harry pocketed it" he kept reading "harry pocketeded it" he call jk Rowling and asked if he could say harry put it in his pocket, she said no. The phrase "harry pocketed it" appeared in the remaining books
Ron swears a lot in the book. It usually was written as "Ron swore loudly" or "effing".
Dumbledores family made me tear up a little
I liked this video. I know alot of harry potter trivia, but still learned some new stuff. And its great having the quotes and background info. Well done.
#7 "they suffered a fate worse than death"- Sirius Black- order of the phionex (movie)
This is a very beautifully produced video, it made me feel quite nostalgic for my favourite childhood story, and shed new light on old characters.
Whose watching in 2017❤️💗😱
Berrywishes me good sir!
Berrywishes me its january 3rd
Berrywishes I saw this got really confused for a second and though... "what the hell we aren't in 2017?"
Berrywishes me
I literally can't believe it's 2017 it went by so fast😔❤️💩
Holy crap, the part about Neville's parents!!😭😭😭😭😭 my heart💔
What's with the depressing music ? --'
Animationexclusive i found the music really relaxing and not depressing at all... slightly studio ghibli but less magical i think
I think it's beautiful.. but depressing. You'd think no one survived.
The music makes it sound like a funeral for J.K Rowling...
Hehe I still love this video
feels like a cheap excuse on the invisibility cloak. a Cloak that " hides you from death" has such a weak flaw?
fantastic video! those were actual valid points and I only knew half of them as opposed to all of them in most videos like this 👍🏼
the frog cards were the best bit XD
this together with the music gave me huge goose bumps...
It says Harry and friends so Neville probably also got a card
Frazer Fastin He'd deserve it. ⚡
That was really interesting! Love the music too.
What's wrong with Dumbledore at 4:41.....
Slender Dumbledore, the new antagonist of the next book in the series.
Alikat 27 it's a mannequin of the full Dumblebore costume. Beard and all.
I think it's from the line of the Harry Potter ride in the wizarding world of Harry Potter in universal Florida
This was a great video. Your set-up of the facts are great and the inclusion of quotes and the beautiful pictures and music are absolutely amazing. And you definitely hit home on the no speaking thing. Kudos, friend. Kudos.
if yoy readed the books you knw neville's are in the hospital for the rest their life...
Spoiler alert
tommy ie emm this si not spoilering bc the book are so Long out everybody readed it
If you read the books, then you would know simple english 🙄🙄
Zebella Barmosa i readed it in dutch... duh
janna artist so you readeded it?
i remember when i was having a geek-out with a few friends, and we got to the potter-verse, and someone asked me how i had reacted, and i told them it really didnt matter, not because of equality though, but because Dumbledore doesnt have time for relationships. he could be sexually attracted to hammers and itd still be the same
he is a busy guy
Imagine if Sirius' full name was Sirius lee black
How much more black could it be? The answer is none. None more black.
The music had me tearing up cuz it made me think of the stuff I've been going through recently 😣
Some I new, but some finally managed to teach me something new. But these facts with the music that was paying just made me sad thinking about it. It's a bit extreme, but Hermione, Ron and Harry would be seen like we see people like Anne Frank for example, people who lived in the darkest times of they're world and will be known about forever. J.K Rowling really did create something beautiful.
beautifully done video, the music choice was great and gave the facts more emotional weight than they would have if persented differently.
the editing was really good too, and the facts where actually interesting so good job.
To fact #5: Dubledoor is Gay
First, my argument is completely from a literary point of view. When you do a character analysis you can only go with what is actually in the written source material. You SHOW the reader who the character is, you don't TELL them who the character is.
There is little if any evidence in the first seven books that establish any sexual orientation for the character. The author had plenty of time in her world building to include some artifacts that could suggest what she wants to be true. But she failed to do so. The intent of the author and the vision they have of the character is helpful to them to determine how they would act in a given situation, but if it doesn't get in the book that is where it ends.
She could have a photo album of his Hogwarts days sitting next to a boy on a bench holding hands, in a pensive memory he could have mused on the attractiveness of a man he met at the ministry. Small things like that would not have detracted from the plot any more than the dozen obligatory pages about a quiddich match. But she chose not to.
Dumbledore from the evidence in the book IS NOT GAY and he isn't straight either. He has no sexual orientation. Because for whatever reason it wasn't important to his character. It doesn't matter if the Author herself thinks it's true, or wishes she had done more to establish it in the books.
So until she gets around to publishing Harry Potter: The After Years, and has a scene where Harry's Hogwarts reunion comes and sorts through a trunk of Dumbledore's things and find some evidence. Or she writes a prequel and includes substance to the fact, it will remain as it is now. The characters are only what is printed.
If the CREATOR of Dumbledore says he's gay then he is gay .-.
Yeah no, that isn't how it works among literary scholars. The creator can say something, and the fan base can accept it, but that doesn't make it true from a scholarly point of view. And that is the point I was arguing from. I said as much in the very first sentence of my argument. Personally I HOPE she writes more novels that exlore the the characters more deeply in a less "the world is ending" setting.
I know "the world is on fire and we have to save it" is exciting and sells books, but could you imagine a fantasy romantic comedy involving a dumbledore love triangle. It would be wonderful.
Maybe in magical Christmas land, but not in the world of literature and scholarship.
I guess Grindelwald never existed, then, did he? She hinted at the fact that Dumbledore was completely devoted to him.
You can be completely devoted to someone or something without having a sexual attraction. You wouldn't say Mother Teresa wasn't completely devoted to the cause of serving the poor if she didn't think about how sexually attracted she was to them.
No, that isn't good enough. I gave examples of what would constitute in text evidence. A vague slip of the tongue isn't substantial. She didn't say, "I was completely devoted to Grendlewald, and I realized that the moment we looked each other in the eye after a tender embrace." ... No, there was nothing of the sort ANYWHERE in the novels. Now granted that is pretty extreme and wouldn't be appropriate to the setting in a book aimed at children, but you hopefully get the point.
I am on the verge of tears! The music and heart warming facts got to me. As long as the sad ones, like Neville's parents. AND DUDLEY AND HARRY! I COULDN'T HANDEL IT! IT WAS MY FAVORITE ONE! I CANT EXPRESE HOW MUCH I LOVE IT!
Still nothing of Nevilles Patronus...
Miatpi Maybe he's not able to produce one? He probably doesn't have very many happy memories with all that's happened to him, much less a memory happy enough to produce a patronus
He almost succeeded during their training in book 5
Almost, but maybe that was just as far as he got?
...I don't understand. Why are these facts, when the book is fictional, and is the only source for facts, really.
Just stop
these are "facts" because the writer of the Bock, j.k.Rowling had say that this are facts, and because its her "universe" she decides wat is true
7:26: "Wizard now has limited invisibility."
Sadly, while the books were very entertaining, J.K. Rowling was not very good at building a consistent fantasy world and frequently contradicts herself in her statements and in the books. I call bullshit on the fact that Snape's portrait didn't appear because he "abandoned" his post as headmaster before his death. Fleeing from a duell in which his second in command tries to capture or kill him hardly qualifies as resigning and Minister Pius Thickness certainly did not sack him. Rowling just made that up when fans pestered her why there was no portrait of Snape mentioned in Harry's final conversation with Dumbledores portrait, she had probably just forgotten that it should be there when she wrote the scene.I also call bullshit on the statement that Dumbledore could sense Harry under the invisibility cloak using a silent "hominum revelio". In book 7, Rowling had revealed that the cloak was actually the third deathly hallow, it's protection not penetrable by any magic. If it was that easy, the cloak would hardly have been such a unique artefact. It also would have been incredibly unlikely that no one else ever tried that (Like e.g. the deatheater who tried "accio invisibility cloak" when Harry and his friends arrived in Hogsmeade in the 7th book and set off the caterwauling charm.A third statement I find rather unlikely is that Harry never graduated from Hogwarts, since we learn in book 6 that you definitely need NEWTS in several subjects (too lazy to look up the specific ones right now) to become an auror and we learn in book 7 that Harry did beome an auror, though I concede that they may have just made an exception for him based on the fact that he brought down the most dangerous dark wizard of all time.
Chris Rudolf srry i don't think anyone is going to read that. It's just too long
Actually I think that one of the main reasons Harry Potter is as succesful as it is now is that J. K. Rowling DID create a whole world with full of details and explanations. Of course we can find little mistakes in anything - no, I wouldn't say mistaxes but little unexplained or overexplained situations - but in the whole this is the ONLY series where the writer stays involved in all the movies, even in the Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them series and has a word and opinion that counts; like when she said that Dumbledore was gay although it had not been written in any of the books. And the way the story opens and turns out is crazy - when you read the books again you can really see why things happen as they happen and I can always found new details every time I read them.
Chris Rudolf Elder wand ? Although I must admit I don't think Rowling actually thought of it...but it makes perfect sense that elder wand can see through invisibility cloak!
Nabin Great Well, on the one hand you do have a point, if there was one item that could penetrate through the defense of the cloak, then it might probably be another deathly hallow. But on the other hand, according to the tale of the three brothers, Ignotus Peverell used the cloak succesfully to hide from death himself, thereby escaping death's revenge. That is IMHO a strong point against the theory that other artefacts created by death could beat it. But maybe I'm overthinking it now, there were hints in the book that the tale of the three brothers was probably just a legend with a true core, not literally true.
when Kingsley became minister of magic, he allowed anyone who fought in the battle of hogwarts to work for the ministry regardless of papers.
1: "I think it was pretty obvious" -Lockhart
2: He said bloody quite a few times.
3: Guess what, that's what a THEORY is.
4: One point to you.
5: This was revealed and is now famous for starting a trend, also she said she, to quote your source, "Always THOUGHT of Dumbledore as gay". It's confirmed at this point, so second point.
6: It doesn't say he does it himself.
7: I think it was obvious, after 17 years, it's a lost hope.
8: They literally reconciled at the start of book 7.
9: I'd think this would have been obvious. Anyone trivial was on it.
10: It's rather obvious, only one Hallow could likely detect the other.
2 out of 10.
What even is ignominious?
humiliating, degrading
anna thx
Very calm n soothing piano. Also, nice editing
In my opinion, anything that wasn't in the books isn't a thing. JK Rowling could have written it in instead of adding it sometime later to make society happy. Example: Dumbledore is gay. Absolutely nothing in the books suggested it, it was added later.
Depends on how you look at it, I guess. In the last book when Dumbledore revealed his friendship and Grindelwald, I always thought he talked about the other boy in a rather romantic manner. Might've been because of the Norwegian translation though, as "inflamed", in most scenarios means "horny as fuck" here.
Correct, if it isn't in the book then it shouldn't be considered cannon. I'd argue that the movies could be considered cannon as well because there are some minor differences, but nothing major. As for the language of translation. I'd stick with the English translation for the simple reason it was originally written in English and later translated, and as the old saying goes things are often lost in translation.
it isn't flat out stated, but when looking through Skeeter's tell all book. they discuss the unusual relation ship between the boys, implying it strongly
Larry Bobinski did you just say there are no major changes in the movie DUDE HARRY SNAPPED THE ELDER WAND IN 2 IN THE MOVIE WHILE IN THE BOOK HE PLACED IT BACK IN DUMBLEDORES THOMB.
she couldn't fit everything in d buks nw, cud she??
Although I knew it already, my nose still turned sour at #7...
The facts not in the books are not facts.
***** JK may have made them up on the spot.
djkaye youtube What's your point? The entire first book was made up on the spot.
EM11212 What so If JK Rowling said randomly in an interview that Hermione was cheating on ron for Neville longbottom it'd be a fact?
Yes. As the author of the series, J.K. has a say in what is canon.
On the one Hand, JKR as the author and Inventor of those stories has every right to add to her stories and also to Change them, so if she says something is "fact" in the HP-universe then it is fact. Period. If she should decide today that Hermione was black, Ron was bisexual, Lavender Brown was actually a Boy and Sibyl Trelawy was a sphinx, then it is fact. On the other hand, a whole different issue is if we buy it that the made up on the spot facts she reveals in interviews or the feeble explanations she gives on Pottermore to cover up some of the plotholes in her stories are really all things she intended all along. Also, a "fact" about the story in a book is not worth anything if there is not the slightest hint at it in the story itself and the reader has no possibility to even suppose that "fact" might be possible.
I just liked and shared the video and subscribed to you. This was amazing!💟
I got all tears-eyed at several of these.
I'm still mad at Grindelwald for becoming it already being evil. He and Dumbledore would have been great together.
Interesting vid. I loved the thing about Snape's portrait
1:32 Molly Weasley swears in the Deathly Hallows though... also I knew all of these but great video! :)
*Harry arranges for Snape's portrait to be placed in the headmaster's office*
Me: *crying whale noises*
Love it !!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂❤️❤️❤️❤️
this is awesome, thanks!
it's fate. now you just have to get married.
this made me terary nice vid
Love the video, the facts but OMG DO I LOVE THE MUSIC
it always makes me sad that Neville's parents never recovered😢
Nice video. I love harry potter more than anyone else I know, and I didn't know a couple of these facts. But the cloak is the most powerful one ever, and in the deathly hallows they could only see their shadows with the spell.
Didn't a death eater use Hominum Revelio, and it failed to detect Harry and co. when they were under the invisibility cloak in Hogsmeade? Granted, maybe it's just that his wand and skill are such that he can simply cast a more powerful version of the spell which could break past the defenses of the cloak. However, I think it would make more sense that Dumbledore developed his own method of detecting the cloak, considering he had it in his possession for about 10 years. He would have had ample time to study it and develop his own charm to detect or see through it.
It's sad about Neville's parents, but when his grandmother finally see's him as a man is really touching
What a beautiful piece of music
great video! I am currently reading Harry Potter and the Half blood Prince right now!
Number nine made my eyes water and I smiled widely.
I am kind of proud that I knew all these facts already... :)
congrats on the 1000
Grindelwald revealed himself to be... Johny depp
Cool video, some facts here I hadn’t heard of
"I always thought of dumbledore as gay. Or at least since being gay became "cool" and I could use it as a point for social relevance."
#9 gave me the giggles! So cool.
I knew all of this. But it was fun to see this video
