A little birdie told me to ask why zooilingualism didn't make your list. Also the ability to expand space like making a tent into a house.... Or the ability to force a party to abide by their promises like forcing a politician to make an unbreakable vow to uphold law in order to be sworn in to office...
My top 3 powers would be legilimency, occlumency, and the ability to disapparate. The only three powers in my opinion, that you'll ever need to stay ahead of pretty much any threat. The two powers after those 3 powers in my top 5, would have to be transfiguration, and invisibility. Those 5 powers are both a powerful defense, as well as a powerful offense to be used when in danger.
@@plotholedetective4166 I'm pretty sure that zoolinguism isn't a power any wizard can obtain in the world of Harry Potter. If I remember correctly, it is a power based on genetics rather than innate ability.
There is one powerful magical ability that I would definitely put on my list even though it requires materials - advanced potion making. The ability to make liquid luck, poly juice, truth serum, and so many other awesome potions seems like a skill that could give someone great power.
@@jacobmagnuson8245 liquid luck is toxic in big ammounts, poly juice I would say no considering crouch jr was able to maintain a permanent transformation for a year
Choranaptyxis and apparating mixed in with potion making would be pretty useful. Granted choranaptyxis could be achieved most likely with shrinking and enlargement charms or potions so you could knock that one off the list.
I feel like mind control especially through the Imperius Curse is an extremely powerful ability, and one that should be on the list. To have the power to bend others to your will means you can literally make them do whatever you want. You can force them to be your friend, protector, lover or make them give you their personal information or money and possessions. Not to mention they can also be used as patsies to commit crimes (such as kill someone) on your behalf and suffer the consequences for those actions.
This is definitely top 5 for me. For me, it's: the Fidelius Charm, the Patronus Charm, the Imperius Curse, Protego Diabolica and Fiendfyre with the Killing Curse being an honorable mention along with Horcruxes and Animagus transformations
I have a top 11 list: 11. Produce a coporial patronous 10. Create a horcruxes 9. Obliviate 8. Non-verbal magic 7. Turn invisable 6. Wandless magic 5. Turn into an Animagus 4. Legilimency/Oclumency 3. Teleportation 2. Fly without a broom 1. Create your own spells/potions
Was less magic isn’t that special; wands have made wizards lazy. African wizards rarely use wands, being that wands are a European invention, and they prefer to simply use their hands.
@@witdajuice6763 The point of making that distinction about African wizards is to give them an adecuate adaptation of their real-world-culture. African Shamans in pop culture are known for being healers, giving protection to the community, performing rituals, etc. often depicted as using staffs or just their bare hands. The wand is an "European witch-kind-of-thing". It's just a gimmick.
@@witdajuice6763 Now imagine a situation in which you face a witch/wizard in a duel. If you're able to cast non-verbal spells, use a wand, and also perform wandless magic, you technically have double the speed of your opponent as you could for example, deflect an expelliarmus with your wand, and immediately after perform magic with your free hand, even faster than the time it takes to swing your wand again.
I've had a very long work week and I've been listening to Harry Potter audiobooks during my shifts to help pass the time and I gotta say I love coming home and visiting this channel to learn new things about my favorite franchise
For me: 1.Legilimency/Occlumency. 2.Wandless/non verbal magic (wand is not important). 3.Physical flight. 4.Memory charms in general. 5.Transfiguration. 6.Accio. 7.Teleportation. 8.Dark magic knowledge even if I don't use all of it. For example I would have never created a Horcrux because I am not a killer. 9.Elemental magic.
I would also include Reparo. You can use it to repair almost anything, no matter its size, no matter its damage. In FB1, it is even used to rebuild a large part of New York. Not sure if it can be counted as such, but potion-making ability can be very, very useful. A lot of these powerful abilities can alternatively be replicated by the right potion. Want to read someone's mind? Brew veritaserum. Want to change appearance? Brew polyjuice potion. If you are skilled enough, you could brew a potion with immense destructive potential (a single drop of the potion of the living death can kill tens of people), or one that makes all your hearts desires come true. For the Horcrux category, I would expand that to include other forms of immortality, like the philosophers stone.
Polyjuice potion lasts for one hour and brewing the stuff takes months and expensive ingredients including boomslang skin, antlions in their imago form and plants that must be picked at the full moon among others. A lot of these powerful potions are no doubt heavily regulated by the Ministry of Magic with Veritaserum stated as such by Snape when he threatened Harry with it.
@@JamesDavy2009 Sure, but in that line of reasoning horcruxes, and the 3 unforgivable curses should also not be considered, as they are prohibited. But that doesn't always stop people from using them.
Time magic (like time turner) is super overpowered. Divination would be a type of "time magic" (knowledge from the future). Medical magic would also be super powerful
1. Imperio 2. Apparation (no more easyjet) 3. Accio (I cant tell you how much i lose things) p.s i think reading someone elses thoughts is more of a curse than a gift - it would ruin any relationships you have
You would have to know where to appear to not draw attention. Plus, some places may have preventative charms against the act so you'd have to Apparate outside of the zone of protection and enter via more proper means.
I would place Obliviate further up this list, though I can't say where. It's not really even specified in the books (and don't get me started on the movie treatment) but to effectively cast that charm in the way you describe would involve a great deal of skill - more than Accio, I think. You would have to be able to quickly sift through the complexity of someone's memories and then delete only those you wished. Otherwise, your risk of causing harm would be very great. I can easily see why it would need to have a specialist squad in the Ministry all to itself.
Hey you really read my mind! I was thinking about this potential ranking a few days ago. However, you should make a ranking where you put all of Voldemort's plans that he put in place during the series in order from worst to best.
You missed a big one! Telekinesis! There are many examples of witches or wizards simply waving their hand or gesturing towards an object and causing it to move. I think I would choose transfiguration and teleportation! Great video!
I have a hp theory that I think fans of this channel would appreciate which is that Dumbledore entrusted the future of the wizarding world to Draco 😳 hear me out, in the half blood prince Dumbledore his own assassination plot Voldemort had ordered Malfoy to kill him. Which we of course know is a job that he appoints to Severus, in order to protect Draco from going down the wrong path and carrying a burden he wasn't built for. When he and Harry return the astronomy tower on the night of his death he becomes aware that something's amiss and knows that he's going to die as he's already committed himself to it. What's odd is the fact that rather than give the elder wand to Harry or snap it in half and destroy it he purposely allowed Draco to disarm him. Now Dumbledore had absolutely no way of knowing that harry would be captured hunting horcruxes and taken to Malfoy manor where he would duel and disarm Draco. That means as far as he was concerned Dumbledore had died making the choice to pass ownership of the elder wand to Draco, who for all he knew could've followed in his father's footsteps. But Dumbledore saw the good in Draco and entrusted him with it, rather give it to Harry in his final moments or just destroy it altogether. If that had been the case Voldemort would never have gotten it in the first place and Snape could've lived especially since Harry just breaks it anyways.
What the list should have been: 1 Fiendfire. (The nuke of the wizarding world. Especially effective when combined with teleportation. A single cast can wipe out entire cities.) 2 Mind Control. (Mr. President, you want to start a nuclear war. Imperius, confundus, magical contracts, etc... So many ways to bewitch their minds and ensnare their senses.) 3 Fidelus Charm. (Just because wizards are too stupid to use the charm effectively, doesn't mean it's not overpowered. Just have two fidelused properties with the resident of the other being the secret keeper, or any other method of safeguarding the secret effectively and use an unbreakable vow to prevent sharing the secret without authorization.) 4 Teleportation. (The end of logistics issues. How would you ever catch a sniper who can apparate? Critical equipment is never more than a few seconds away.) 5 Veritas Serum. (Your enemy can hide nothing. Much more effective than legillemency) 6 Mandrakes. (Just put on some ear muffs and walk into the enemy stronghold.) 7 Basilisk Eyes. (Just one look is all it takes, unfortunately, difficult to weaponize if you aren't born a parselmouth.) 8 Immortality. (Very few enemies cannot be outlived if you are cautious enough. Very few problems are unsolvable with enough time to work on them.) 9 Transfiguration. (Note science and chemistry is necessary to make this truely powerful, like transfiguring air into FOOF or neurotoxins. Or you could just do the wizard thing and make instant distractions and control the battlefield.) 10 Duplication Charms. (Resources are not really limited when you can make more, only ranked so low because you need source material.)
Not a bad list. I feel like undetectable extension charms could have possibly made the list, just in terms of how practicable they would be. Gives the term “living out of your suitcase” a whole new meaning 😅
My Top 10 10. FLYING... POINTLESS BUT FUN 9. ACCIO 8. Invisibility 7. Sight/ OCCLOMENDS 6. OBLIVIATE 5. LEGITIMENDS 4. TELEPORTATION 3. CHORANAYXIS 2. Horcux.. the potential 1. TRANSFIGURATION... IT CAN BE USED AS #8 AND #3 AND HAS MOST POTENTIAL OTHER THAN HORCUX
Personally, I would like to have the top 5 abilities and Accio. They would certainly make life more interesting, and be quite helpful under certain situations.
The strongest defensive power is to make the deathly hallows invisibility cloak a horcrux, hide it in the room of requirement or anywhere really since a horcrux is not easily destroyed and the invisibility cloak is immune to all spells.
1. legilimency/occlumensy 2. non verbal/wandless magic 3. horcrux creation 4. animagi/transfiguration/shapeshifting (e.g. metamorphmagus) 5. flight (non broom, thestral etc.) 6. advanced potion making 7. teleportation 8. invisibility 9. memory charms 10. the sight in sort of a rough not really particular order except legilimency/occlumensy which i believe is arguably the most powerful magical ability
I've always thought Dumbledore could have prevented hundreds of lives and years of turmoil and suffering by having a simple, honest, two-way, hour-long conversation with Harry at the start of third year ..
Without unforgivables (and probably spelling): -apparition -snape healing secptum sempre whatever that was -obliviate -legilimancy/occlumancy -transfiguration
I feel like the sight is both a blessing and a curse. Its a blessing in the sense that you can tell the future (or at least interpret it) for yourself or others, however those fortunes are not straight forward, nor are they predictable or preventable. Someone with the sight could tell somebody's future where something really bad happens to them. You or they will now be living in fear, not knowing when their misfortune will kick off and may attempt to stop it, only to be the ones to cause the misfortune to transpire. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
It has been stated by a lot of people (both real and fictional) that knowledge of the future is dangerous. Sure it could save your life and make you rich, but is it really worth the curse of knowing when you or someone close to you will die?
This is a type of magic that I barely see or hear anyone talking about. Healing magic, just think how often you would use this type magic so for me I would definitely have it on my list
My top 10 magical abilities in no particular order: The Sight Oclamancy Lagilamancy, Animagus Brewing Complex Potions Wandless Magic Appearation/Disaperation Wandmaking
Prophecy / precognition is only one small facet of divination. Divination is all about magically gathering information, that includes the past and present, as well as the future. Divination includes remote viewing also known as scrying; that is magically seeing far away places and people in the present, psychometry; which is magically learning an objects history, the maurauders map is a fabulous example of divination magic in the form of magical cartography. Divination also includes magical identification, learning the nature of charms, enchantments and curses on objects and places, divination can also find lost or hidden items or people. You might also place legilimens, the number one power on this list, under the divination umbrella, magically extracting information from a persons mind. The wizarding world of HP pours a lot of scorn on divination, but it's a helluva useful and powerful magical discipline.
I think hagrid has this ability to control his size because of the fact that he can fit certain areas differently at different points. Not all the time or not perfectly but just enough that he can make it through certain things like doorways or train car seats.
Occlumency, legilimency, nonverbal spells, wandless magic, apparition, unassisted flight. If I were dropped into the universe of Harry Potter I would make it my goal to master the first 5 of those, occlumency paired with nonverbal spells makes you literally the best when it comes to dueling and if you're able to use legilimency nonverbally against your opponent even them trying to use non verbal spellcasting wouldn't work unless they were an accomplished occlumence. And if I can do magic without needing a wand in my hand then so much the better.
In the movie hp order of the feniks didn't multiple light wizards came in flying like voldemorth and snape can but only with a Light colour. I am not sure is a long time for me?
As someone really short and extremely frustrated when I had to use a ladder all the time while working in a library, I'd say n10 would have been really useful for me lol!
I'd switch #1 and #2 or possibly even throw #1 further down, instantaneous transportation is fascinating, yet I would care little about what most people think.
1. Casting nonverbal spells without a wand 2. Legillimency-Occlumency 3. Flying without a broom 4. Selftransiguration 5. Invisibility without a cloak 6. Prediction 7. Breaking The Imperius Curse 8. Silent apparition 9. Parseltongue 10. I cannot find any ;)
I had to pause at the invisibility cloak. Because yes, it is told that it's one of the 3 deadly hollows. But apparently, they are still being made considering mad-eye had 2 of them. So how much of a deadly hollow are they?
From strongest to weakest. Imperio, Aparation, Avada Kedavra, Alohomora, Ligilemense, Obliviate, Memory Creation Charm, Repairo, Cruicio, Lumos. And I am very Slytherin.
These all are awesome, but i prefer unsuported flight, invisibility (charm) and transfiguration. There is of course one ability i like you didn't mension:PARSELTONGUE
Depulso, the banishing charm, mastered by the witch and Hogwarts professor Herodiana Byrne. She is said to have banished a dark wizard to Durmstrang castle all the way from the Alps.
Yo maybe snape allowed him to read part of his mind cause to fully lock him out would be suspicious especially sense all the others he can read which makes it harder for snape to have to block some memories yet make some up to cover that time that would be lost from the memories you blocked or maybe he can literally only tell if you’re lying and you just work with that it’s easier to do one single thing then to have to do multiple same time either way snape is a great character he sacrificed so much for love even for the kid that wasn’t his he helped all those kids even when they hated him
Liquid luck. Luck is hands-down is the most broken thing in the world The ability to have what is essentially a butterfly effect on demand, all designed to provide you with good fortune is insane
Ehhh, I'd remove obliviate and accio from the list - that's like saying levitation is on the list too. The sight, oclumency/legitimenze, metamorph, inviciblilty (not just a spell), horcrux, flight, animagus, apperition
I’m kind of confused, is this Star Wars theory’s channel? Is it run by a friend? Or someone he’s paying? Either way I love the content, it’s just my curious mind
i think if they didnt kill snape, he may have discovered or been taught how to make the philosophers stone with nick flamel. so snape might still be alive in some way.
What about time turners and the geminio doubling spell? He could have doubled himself and hidden one comfortably away while the other got murdered. He would know when to do this by pre setting a time turner.
I argue that horcruxes should not be on this list as you specifically stated that no other equipment should be required for the ability to work. Accio does not require the object to be present to use it, so it is exempt. But Horcruxes require an object to store the piece of soul. Therefore, they break the rule.
Legilimency could, and probably does backfire on the Legilimens. I should think that there would be many times when the Legilimens had wished he or she hadn't invaded the victim's mind, reading thoughts that clearly say "Enter at your own risk."
Doesn't even include some of the best spells I'd want to learn. Then again, as an American Redneck, I'd consider these to be tops. 1. Undectable Extension Charm - Personally, knowing what I know now about the wizarding world, this one ranks tops on my list because it can turn even a suitcase into a mansion. All you'd need do is build some small house, cast this charm, and you have a mansion unto yourself. Granted it doesn't include balcony overlooks as stepping outside would bring you back fullsize, but if I were made into Harry, with what I know, I'd buy a trunk with this cast on it and live inside it throughout the summer. Hell, if you had one as big as Newt's, Hedwig, or whatever owl you had, could fly and be free instead of cooped up in the cage all the time. 2. Fidelius Charm - Who hasn't wanted to keep out unsolicited visitors? This charm hides your entire house from everyone, wizard and muggle alike, unless you tell them specifically where you live. Great for rural living and keeping on the DL but I don't know if owls can still find you or not. Might be the one trade off. Along with Cave inimicum, this will defiinitely keep you protected from most harm. 3. Greenhouse Charm - Allows for the accelerated aging of plants in a confined space. Could be useful for growing your own food in your trunk hideout or inside a small greenhouse on your property with the Extension charm set. Food is necessary to life and the one thing magic can't create. Learn and master the Aqua charm and you are set! 4. Killing Curse - Man's gotta eat, right? Doesn't mean you have to kill people, can be used to kill anything without damaging the hide and meat. A most useful spell in my opinion. 5. Blue Bell Flame - Really any of the firemaking spells but Hermione's blue bell flames spell might be better, creating heat but not actually burning anything. Set them inside your old wood-burning stove and voila! Instant cooking apparatus! Set them in your fireplace as well to keep warm and those cold lonely nights are just lonely. Can't have everything in life.
I’ll be totally honest with you I’ll be that wizard that learned every single dark spell just because 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️great for protection because they always the best spells
I think any charms or spells or apparating shouldn't be on this list because of the fact a wand needs to channel the witch/wizard's magical ability to cast the spell, so it counts as a tool or "equipment". Unless the wizard/witch can cast wandless magic, which is quite rare.
The existance of the Obliviate spell makes the existance of no logical. It also makes duells really easy... Just break the defense, then cast Stupify into Obliviate and you've won against any enemy...
For me, I would like to be able to fly. Reading minds would be helpful, but I would only use a talent or skill like that if it was a very situation. Otherwise, it is a gross invasion of a person’s privacy.
@@JamesDavy2009 What about Queenie? She doesn’t even try at times and she can become overwhelmed. How would the Ministry be able to monitor a naturally gifted Legilimens? (Sp?) I can’t see how it could be done.
@@sherrylovegood They would probably dispatch a proficient Legilimens to teach her how to better use her gift and fast track her to a job at the Ministry once she turns 17.
Harry’s superpower: protagonist’s shield😂 Honestly, from all the magical abilities I would looove to fly and teleport! Reading minds isn’t that much because I have the unfortunate gift to tell from minute 1 if someone is good or no! I don’t know why and how but I’m rarely mistaken! 1/100 times! I can somehow “sense” the other’s hidden purpose/cause… I’m not sure that this is a gift but I have it… 🤷🏻♂️
Wait why is accio on the list? I get it’s very useful and I would use it probably 6 times an hour lmao. However you have to be powerful to cast it? I thought anyone could cast it? Is this video about the most powerful and useful spells? It says powerful so that one confused me lol sorry. 😂 One more question. As far as flying goes. To fly without a broom does it require the use of dark magic? I have always wondered why Albus didn’t fly even with him being as powerful as he is. The only reason I could think of why he wouldn’t fly is he would have to use dark magic to achieve it.

There is one powerful magical ability that I would definitely put on my list even though it requires materials - advanced potion making. The ability to make liquid luck, poly juice, truth serum, and so many other awesome potions seems like a skill that could give someone great power.

Time magic (like time turner) is super overpowered. Divination would be a type of "time magic" (knowledge from the future). Medical magic would also be super powerful

2. Apparation (no more easyjet)
3. Accio (I cant tell you how much i lose things)

Top 5 (in no particular order, before watching)

5. Accio
6. Reparo
7. Extension Charm (Capacious extremis)
8. Shape shift
9. Obliviate

One could argue that apparition would be all the more so much better than flying. Imagine being ready for work at 7:59 and making it to work by 8.

2 Mind Control. (Mr. President, you want to start a nuclear war. Imperius, confundus, magical contracts, etc... So many ways to bewitch their minds and ensnare their senses.)
3 Fidelus Charm. (Just because wizards are too stupid to use the charm effectively, doesn't mean it's not overpowered. Just have two fidelused properties with the resident of the other being the secret keeper, or any other method of safeguarding the secret effectively and use an unbreakable vow to prevent sharing the secret without authorization.)
4 Teleportation. (The end of logistics issues. How would you ever catch a sniper who can apparate? Critical equipment is never more than a few seconds away.)
5 Veritas Serum. (Your enemy can hide nothing. Much more effective than legillemency)
6 Mandrakes. (Just put on some ear muffs and walk into the enemy stronghold.)
7 Basilisk Eyes. (Just one look is all it takes, unfortunately, difficult to weaponize if you aren't born a parselmouth.)
8 Immortality. (Very few enemies cannot be outlived if you are cautious enough. Very few problems are unsolvable with enough time to work on them.)
9 Transfiguration. (Note science and chemistry is necessary to make this truely powerful, like transfiguring air into FOOF or neurotoxins. Or you could just do the wizard thing and make instant distractions and control the battlefield.)
10 Duplication Charms. (Resources are not really limited when you can make more, only ranked so low because you need source material.)
Not a bad list. I feel like undetectable extension charms could have possibly made the list, just in terms of how practicable they would be. Gives the term “living out of your suitcase” a whole new meaning 😅
My Top 10
10. FLYING... POINTLESS BUT FUN
9. ACCIO
8. Invisibility
7. Sight/ OCCLOMENDS
6. OBLIVIATE
5. LEGITIMENDS
4. TELEPORTATION
3. CHORANAYXIS
2. Horcux.. the potential
1. TRANSFIGURATION... IT CAN BE USED AS #8 AND #3 AND HAS MOST POTENTIAL OTHER THAN HORCUX
Personally, I would like to have the top 5 abilities and Accio. They would certainly make life more interesting, and be quite helpful under certain situations.
8.Invisibility
7.Occlumency
6.Teleportation
5.Obliviate
4. Unsupported flight
3.Metamorphmagus
2.Legilimency
1.The Sight
The strongest defensive power is to make the deathly hallows invisibility cloak a horcrux, hide it in the room of requirement or anywhere really since a horcrux is not easily destroyed and the invisibility cloak is immune to all spells.
1. legilimency/occlumensy
2. non verbal/wandless magic
3. horcrux creation
4. animagi/transfiguration/shapeshifting (e.g. metamorphmagus)
5. flight (non broom, thestral etc.)
6. advanced potion making
7. teleportation
8. invisibility
9. memory charms
10. the sight
in sort of a rough not really particular order except legilimency/occlumensy which i believe is arguably the most powerful magical ability
I've always thought Dumbledore could have prevented hundreds of lives and years of turmoil and suffering by having a simple, honest, two-way, hour-long conversation with Harry at the start of third year ..
But voldemort could see his dreams all and figure it out from there
Na his plan was right
Without unforgivables (and probably spelling):
-apparition
-snape healing secptum sempre whatever that was
-obliviate
-legilimancy/occlumancy
-transfiguration
5. Obliviate
4. Time turner
3. Imperius curse
2. Occlumemcy/legilimency
1. Felix felicis
I feel like the sight is both a blessing and a curse. Its a blessing in the sense that you can tell the future (or at least interpret it) for yourself or others, however those fortunes are not straight forward, nor are they predictable or preventable. Someone with the sight could tell somebody's future where something really bad happens to them. You or they will now be living in fear, not knowing when their misfortune will kick off and may attempt to stop it, only to be the ones to cause the misfortune to transpire. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
It has been stated by a lot of people (both real and fictional) that knowledge of the future is dangerous. Sure it could save your life and make you rich, but is it really worth the curse of knowing when you or someone close to you will die?
This is a type of magic that I barely see or hear anyone talking about. Healing magic, just think how often you would use this type magic so for me I would definitely have it on my list
My top 10 magical abilities in no particular order:
The Sight
Oclamancy
Lagilamancy,
Animagus
Brewing Complex Potions
Wandless Magic
Appearation/Disaperation
Wandmaking
Prophecy / precognition is only one small facet of divination. Divination is all about magically gathering information, that includes the past and present, as well as the future. Divination includes remote viewing also known as scrying; that is magically seeing far away places and people in the present, psychometry; which is magically learning an objects history, the maurauders map is a fabulous example of divination magic in the form of magical cartography. Divination also includes magical identification, learning the nature of charms, enchantments and curses on objects and places, divination can also find lost or hidden items or people. You might also place legilimens, the number one power on this list, under the divination umbrella, magically extracting information from a persons mind.
The wizarding world of HP pours a lot of scorn on divination, but it's a helluva useful and powerful magical discipline.
I love all your videos thanky you!
I love teleportation! Hawaii here I come!
Unless you're familiar with the place, you may risk splinching. Plus, I believe distance increases the risk.
I absolutely enjoy these videos. You do such a great job.
I think hagrid has this ability to control his size because of the fact that he can fit certain areas differently at different points. Not all the time or not perfectly but just enough that he can make it through certain things like doorways or train car seats.
turning rat yellow in pretty good too
Teleportation,flying and reading minds are the best for me
Occlumency, legilimency, nonverbal spells, wandless magic, apparition, unassisted flight. If I were dropped into the universe of Harry Potter I would make it my goal to master the first 5 of those, occlumency paired with nonverbal spells makes you literally the best when it comes to dueling and if you're able to use legilimency nonverbally against your opponent even them trying to use non verbal spellcasting wouldn't work unless they were an accomplished occlumence. And if I can do magic without needing a wand in my hand then so much the better.
I feel the jump from accio to horcrux is quite large imo
I mean is this a most powerful list? Or a most used spell list?
Makes you wonder why nobody ever charms an object with Accio in case they lose their wand. That way they can immediately get it back.
And the enemy could immediately accio the wand back or just use expelliarmus again
Great video! Thanks!
My top 5 users are Dumbledore,dumbledore,dumbledore,dumbledore and oh Mcgonagall.
In the movies I heard Harry pronounce "accio" as "asio", as in "accio Firebolt" in Goblet of Fire. Which is correct?
Teleportaion is my absolute favorite superpower, and if I could choose one, that'd be the one.
In the movie hp order of the feniks didn't multiple light wizards came in flying like voldemorth and snape can but only with a Light colour. I am not sure is a long time for me?
As someone really short and extremely frustrated when I had to use a ladder all the time while working in a library, I'd say n10 would have been really useful for me lol!
I'd switch #1 and #2 or possibly even throw #1 further down, instantaneous transportation is fascinating, yet I would care little about what most people think.
My top 5 would be; 5. Flight, 4. Invisibility, 3. Mind-reading, 2. The height-changing ability, and 1. Transportation🤯🤑🤪🤭🤗
Metamorphmagus, Legilimency, Occulemency, Animagus, Prophecy, Apparation, Vampirism, Lycanthropy, Parselmouth, Wordless Casting.
1. Casting nonverbal spells without a wand 2. Legillimency-Occlumency 3. Flying without a broom 4. Selftransiguration 5. Invisibility without a cloak 6. Prediction 7. Breaking The Imperius Curse 8. Silent apparition 9. Parseltongue 10. I cannot find any ;)
I had to pause at the invisibility cloak. Because yes, it is told that it's one of the 3 deadly hollows. But apparently, they are still being made considering mad-eye had 2 of them. So how much of a deadly hollow are they?
From strongest to weakest. Imperio, Aparation, Avada Kedavra, Alohomora, Ligilemense, Obliviate, Memory Creation Charm, Repairo, Cruicio, Lumos. And I am very Slytherin.
The ability/spell that always facinated me is: Protego Diabolica.
The spell offers both great offence and defence.
That is, if you can control it...
These all are awesome, but i prefer unsuported flight, invisibility (charm) and transfiguration. There is of course one ability i like you didn't mension:PARSELTONGUE
To be honest i was expecting wandless magic in the list....
And how can you perform obiviation without a wand?
I think the mind control charms/curses (imperio and confundus charm) are significantly more powerful than obliviate and should be in the top 5
What about the night bus it can shrink to the size it needs to manover through londen
his definition of power would send many Battle forum users into epileptic shock as their brain try to struggle to understand
My Top 5 would be
1. alohomora.
2. Accio
3. Expelliarmus
4. Obliviate
5. Apparition
Depulso, the banishing charm, mastered by the witch and Hogwarts professor Herodiana Byrne. She is said to have banished a dark wizard to Durmstrang castle all the way from the Alps.
5 strongest
1: Invent spells
2: Wandless magic
3: Teleportation
4: Flying W/O a broom
5: Legillimency/ Occlumency
sound like Rogue here.
Yo maybe snape allowed him to read part of his mind cause to fully lock him out would be suspicious especially sense all the others he can read which makes it harder for snape to have to block some memories yet make some up to cover that time that would be lost from the memories you blocked or maybe he can literally only tell if you’re lying and you just work with that it’s easier to do one single thing then to have to do multiple same time either way snape is a great character he sacrificed so much for love even for the kid that wasn’t his he helped all those kids even when they hated him
Legilimency/olcumency
Nocopperal patrouns
Unsupported flight
Seers
Silent apparition
Animagi
Invisibility
Spell creation
Legilimency is my 1st as well
Top Harry Potter food items
Liquid luck. Luck is hands-down is the most broken thing in the world
The ability to have what is essentially a butterfly effect on demand, all designed to provide you with good fortune is insane
I'd say the power of flight would be at the top of my list. along with transfiguration.i can't think of anymore off the top of my head.
I was the 50th like, it's the closest I've ever been to being first at anything.
Ehhh, I'd remove obliviate and accio from the list - that's like saying levitation is on the list too.
The sight,
oclumency/legitimenze,
metamorph,
inviciblilty (not just a spell), horcrux,
flight,
animagus,
apperition
Healing. The ability to heal is the most underrated
I’m kind of confused, is this Star Wars theory’s channel? Is it run by a friend? Or someone he’s paying? Either way I love the content, it’s just my curious mind
I feel like Lumos should be on the list as well as Alchemy
i think if they didnt kill snape, he may have discovered or been taught how to make the philosophers stone with nick flamel. so snape might still be alive in some way.
What about time turners and the geminio doubling spell? He could have doubled himself and hidden one comfortably away while the other got murdered. He would know when to do this by pre setting a time turner.
@@kellysouter4381 possible but I dunno if he knew about the time turner, he was mostly an alchemist
Flamel was dead by the time Snape was though I thought?
@@JitteryJackanape think flamel is immortal if I recall correctly.
@@usern4metak3ns not after destroying the stone.
I argue that horcruxes should not be on this list as you specifically stated that no other equipment should be required for the ability to work. Accio does not require the object to be present to use it, so it is exempt. But Horcruxes require an object to store the piece of soul. Therefore, they break the rule.
Without watching, I am going to say number 1 should be magic.
If this is a video about abilities, why are most of these spells? That require wands to cast?
I’m surprised the philosophers stone wasn’t on this list
I would also like a video about the top 10 most useful forms of magic. Accio would be one of top spells on my list. ^_^
‘accio car keys’ would come out of my mouth at least 100 times a day 😂
I fully expect 1 to be the killing curse
Legilimency could, and probably does backfire on the Legilimens. I should think that there would be many times when the Legilimens had wished he or she hadn't invaded the victim's mind, reading thoughts that clearly say "Enter at your own risk."
I agree with mind reading being number 1
also want to say i have been watching since day 1 and have loved the content hope u get to on million soon
Thanks for the support Jack!
Doesn't even include some of the best spells I'd want to learn. Then again, as an American Redneck, I'd consider these to be tops.
1. Undectable Extension Charm - Personally, knowing what I know now about the wizarding world, this one ranks tops on my list because it can turn even a suitcase into a mansion. All you'd need do is build some small house, cast this charm, and you have a mansion unto yourself. Granted it doesn't include balcony overlooks as stepping outside would bring you back fullsize, but if I were made into Harry, with what I know, I'd buy a trunk with this cast on it and live inside it throughout the summer. Hell, if you had one as big as Newt's, Hedwig, or whatever owl you had, could fly and be free instead of cooped up in the cage all the time.
2. Fidelius Charm - Who hasn't wanted to keep out unsolicited visitors? This charm hides your entire house from everyone, wizard and muggle alike, unless you tell them specifically where you live. Great for rural living and keeping on the DL but I don't know if owls can still find you or not. Might be the one trade off. Along with Cave inimicum, this will defiinitely keep you protected from most harm.
3. Greenhouse Charm - Allows for the accelerated aging of plants in a confined space. Could be useful for growing your own food in your trunk hideout or inside a small greenhouse on your property with the Extension charm set. Food is necessary to life and the one thing magic can't create. Learn and master the Aqua charm and you are set!
4. Killing Curse - Man's gotta eat, right? Doesn't mean you have to kill people, can be used to kill anything without damaging the hide and meat. A most useful spell in my opinion.
5. Blue Bell Flame - Really any of the firemaking spells but Hermione's blue bell flames spell might be better, creating heat but not actually burning anything. Set them inside your old wood-burning stove and voila! Instant cooking apparatus! Set them in your fireplace as well to keep warm and those cold lonely nights are just lonely. Can't have everything in life.
shocked that love protection wasn't on the list
Someone goes to read my mind ! “Aaaavvvvvvvddddddaaaaaka”
I’ll be totally honest with you I’ll be that wizard that learned every single dark spell just because 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️great for protection because they always the best spells
Walk into a shop and see someone you don't want to talk to? No need to be invisible, just have the balls to ignore them!
I think any charms or spells or apparating shouldn't be on this list because of the fact a wand needs to channel the witch/wizard's magical ability to cast the spell, so it counts as a tool or "equipment". Unless the wizard/witch can cast wandless magic, which is quite rare.
wandless magic?
The existance of the Obliviate spell makes the existance of no logical. It also makes duells really easy... Just break the defense, then cast Stupify into Obliviate and you've won against any enemy...
Abilities aren’t limited to spells. Could be potion making or divination.
The sight… he mentions it
For me, I would like to be able to fly. Reading minds would be helpful, but I would only use a talent or skill like that if it was a very situation. Otherwise, it is a gross invasion of a person’s privacy.
I have no doubts that Legilimancy is heavily regulated if not forbidden by the Ministry.
@@JamesDavy2009 What about Queenie? She doesn’t even try at times and she can become overwhelmed. How would the Ministry be able to monitor a naturally gifted Legilimens? (Sp?) I can’t see how it could be done.
@@sherrylovegood They would probably dispatch a proficient Legilimens to teach her how to better use her gift and fast track her to a job at the Ministry once she turns 17.
I wonder if Dumbledore's deluminator helped/enhanced his ability to be invisible by the desilutionment charm?
Harry’s superpower: protagonist’s shield😂
Honestly, from all the magical abilities I would looove to fly and teleport!
Reading minds isn’t that much because I have the unfortunate gift to tell from minute 1 if someone is good or no!
I don’t know why and how but I’m rarely mistaken! 1/100 times!
I can somehow “sense” the other’s hidden purpose/cause…
I’m not sure that this is a gift but I have it… 🤷🏻♂️
Wait why is accio on the list? I get it’s very useful and I would use it probably 6 times an hour lmao. However you have to be powerful to cast it? I thought anyone could cast it? Is this video about the most powerful and useful spells? It says powerful so that one confused me lol sorry. 😂
One more question. As far as flying goes. To fly without a broom does it require the use of dark magic? I have always wondered why Albus didn’t fly even with him being as powerful as he is. The only reason I could think of why he wouldn’t fly is he would have to use dark magic to achieve it.
Hi
Obliviate should be classified as an unforgivable spell, to be honest.
❤❤❤
Apparition they learn in what the second year, even when they could die, but all learn it.
If I could choose only one ability on this list I would go with shape shifting
