Voldemort definitely pushed all known limits when it came to the Dark Arts. But, his weakness was that's all he valued, the Dark, forbidden arts. This left him vulnerable to powerful and even weak magic that wasn't Dark in nature. Harry beat him with a very simple Expelliarmus spell. No matter how far Voldemort pushed the limits, he was defeated using a second year defensive spell.
to be fair regarding the expelliarmus spell, it comes down to two things. the first time around, it was because of the twin cores of their wands. the second time in the final duel if I'm remembering correctly has to do with the fact that the elder wand refused to kill its true master
@@alecrutz956 yes it was due to the twin cores but also cause harry was a horcrux. After voldemort killed the horcrux in Harry in the forest, the elder wand refused to kill its master
@@hakon_dlc on both duels it bounced back.. baby Harry recieved the accidental horcrux because of the rebound.. and the major duel at the end cause the elder wand refused to kill its true master
I think Dumbledore was referring to resurrection being impossible, not necromancy. Necromancy existed for thousands of year prior to the story and used all over the world. Bill Weasley was a curse-breaker and fought a product of the dark art - a mummy. Inferi needed to be animated through dark magic. This seems like a direct action, not a passive one. Regulus Black was killed by the inferi in the lake, doesn't mean he became one of them. I don't believe he was reanimated because it wasn't referenced in the books.
In a way this explains why Voldemort almost always kills his victims with the killing curse instead of prolonging their suffering (like he did to Snape) despite being a sadist. I think on a practical level, using Avada Kedavra means he gets fresh corpses that are undamaged, which he could then reanimate to join the ranks of his undead minions.
I do think Regulus was one as when Inferi kills u, be it straggling or drowning, anything by their hands u become an inferi yourself. "Necromancy never works" Albus says, he probably meant back in the old days people were still trying to raise the dead; to completely resurrect them which NEVER WORKS, dead is dead. Fantastic Beasts 3, Grindelwald used the art on a Qilin to cheat his way to become Supreme Mugwump.
A thought: Perhaps the reason necromancy never worked before and why zombies are said to require part of your soul to raise is because only one who has already broken their soul can raise inferi. In this way, zombies and inferi would be different names for the same thing, but the former is better understood.
The Cave was such an intresting location. I wish we could have seen kreachers tale in the Deathly Hallows film in the form of Kreacher talking while the screen shows a flashback of voldemort taking Kreacher there and making him drink the potion and leaving him to die. Then showing Kreacher and Regulas talking about it and then Regulas going to the cave, drinking the potion, replacing the locket and then telling kreacher to disapparate while he gets dragged to his death by the Inferi
This is going be another great video, thanks dean for you're hard work, tbh I've always been curious on how Voldemort created the infiri in the cave where the fake locket was thanks again 😊😊
Great video! Glad you distinguished how they vary from other uses of necromancy. I think JKR has a few more revelations in store for us regarding the stone and this topic... When you discussed Albus' and the wizarding world's consensus being debunked by Voldemort's successful creation of Inferi several thoughts occurred to me... Albus and Gellert were far more successful in their exploration of necromancy than Dumbledore would publicly admit to.. in SOD Grindelwald demonstrated this dark magic on the Quilin... and he was expelled from Durmstrang of all places for abominable abuse of the dark arts.... Lastly, we are seeing more examples of Dumbledore suppressing magical knowledge and information, controlling the academic narrative "for the greater good" as we're learning he and Newt omitted inclusion of many rare and endangered creatures from FBAWTFT for conservation reasons and to prevent further exploitation and abuse.
It occurs to me that a huge number of Inferi could be produced, all at once, from a major shipwreck, if a wizard could access it: no digging, just a bit of a swim, and they arleady have a watery grave to climb out of. This sure would have put a horrifying spin on the end of "Titanic"!
I'm pretty sure that it would've been the safest way to gather the inferi army by killing muggles. Hundreds of killed wizarding folks with missing bodies would likely raise too much questions.
There is a theory that some of those inferi were already in that cave when Tom Riddle took those two kids into that cave and traumatized them. Not that Tom, a little boy, had created them, but that they were already there. The place screamed dark magic since early on.
Inferi were known before Voldemort but the scale of reanimations and rate of success is a mystery. In most fiction necromancy is known to be near impossible. Even Genies refuse to bring people back from the dead, it's not a pretty sight, they don't like doing it!
I think there might be some theories or describtions of attempts of other dark wizards in Magick Moste Evile or Secrets of the Darkest Arts books, from where Voldemort gained some info (even how to create and preserve horcruxes from SotDA). These sound like the type of books, that would discuss necromancy.
I've been watching Sabrina the teenage witch lately. And i must say that the last couple of episodes reminded me a lot of "Infiri" and Horcruxes. Because there was some talk about "soul transferring" and that immediately triggered my mind and i was thinking of horcruxes. Of course, they didn't show how it works... 😏Time for JKR to explain it and have a "darker" movie about Tom Riddle Origins. His life before he attended Hogwarts, while he attended Hogwarts, his job and the magical store, how he slowly, (but surely) became Lord Voldemort. How he asked for the job of DADA. And of course, Horcruxes! Etc... Man i would love this! 😍 And btw, i don't only want to know how he made the horcruxes. That would be cool. But i also would like to see his search, how he found out, which books, and especially how he made his first one. That must've been "special" to him i think. He must've felt so good, that moment when he realized that he did something that only one other person did before. If he even knew. But i guess that in his search to this dark art, he knew very well that another dark wizard did it before.
I don’t believe regulus black turned into inferi, he was dragged to his death not animated like the others that were killed directly by Voldemort himself!
Voldemort asked Regulus to borrow Kreacher to test the defenses around the locket horcrux. Because Regulus called Kreacher back before he could be drowned, Kreacher lived to tell him about it, thus allowing Regulus to work out that it was a horcrux.
@@morrigankasa570 by the clues we can assume that regulus was very intelligent. Black family had a very extensive collection of books about dark magic he might have found out that himself. He was also a member of the slug club and probably one of slughorns favourite students because he was smart, a slytherin and a pureblood. He may have found out from slughorns himself
BUT Voldy didn't really care about his Death Eaters, anyway, so what different would it be to him if they started attacking HIS Death Eaters . . . ?? You know what I'm sayin' . . . 🤔
Hey Harry Potter Folklore Please do What if Grindelwald Won! What would happen to All of Continental Europe and the Rest of the Entire World as a whole?
I don't think that Regulus was an inferi. Why: 1. If inferi had the ability to transform a human into one of them then maybe. 2. I think RAB was the de*d body Harry saw floating as he and Albus approached the island at the center of the cave. I'll edit this comment once I find the quote from the books..
What if you made an infiri and forced it to use the resurrection stone? Would that summon the soul back to the body and could a body being kept animated in such a way rebond with it's soul?
I wonder what this will be like in Hogwarts legacy ,we can choose the dark path, I wonder what spells and Enchantments are needed to raise inferi it was never touched upon in canon. Thanks for the video Dean 🙂
regulus black couldn't have been killed by the inferus, because had told creature to destroy the locket, but he could have died from a curse. like Dumbledore was cursed by the ring.
No, I do not believe Regulus Black was one of the Inferi. If he had been killed by the Inferi, he would not have been able to get rid of the Horcrux. He had to have been able to destroy it before he died. And, there wasn't anyone there to reanimate him into an Inferi.
If have head-canon that inferiori on kill people and Regulus Black was animagus cat, due to fact never turn your back if you being hunt by a cat. But do to the inferiori touch if he turn back into a humen he become inferiori. Crook Shac (trio cat) is Regulus and he only has 6 lives, 1st do to the inferior, 2nd probably drown on his way back to land, and the killing of the Potter
Okey, before I watvh the video... Why can't one just use the same spell that they use to make statues move? Arent inferi basically just Corpse Golems? Frankly, making stone move should be harder than making corpses move. they atleast have joints. Will update this comment if there is good reason to do so. Update: End of the video. Yeah, Inferi just sounds like Corpse Golems to me. Mindless things that are specifically created, never randomly, that can follow simple commands but not think for themselves...
And those private property games do not work on me, no sales, no trades, no fines, and can't charge me for anything as all contracts are void.... amateurs.... today

I heard that voldemort also had a very small schlong, that added to his anger.

When Nagini inhibited Bathilda Bagshot’s body, was said body being used as an Inferi?
It occurs to me that a huge number of Inferi could be produced, all at once, from a major shipwreck, if a wizard could access it: no digging, just a bit of a swim, and they arleady have a watery grave to climb out of. This sure would have put a horrifying spin on the end of "Titanic"!

Sick in depth vid!
Wow! Been waiting for this topic to be covered!
Poor Regulus. What a horrible fate! Necromancy freaks me out!

No magical world is complete without necromancy.
Ahhh yay new HP Folklore! I just started my annual Harry Potter marathon on Halloween 🫶🪄✨
Nice video!
Q: how Regulus Black find out about Voldy's hoxcruxes?
Voldemort asked Regulus to borrow Kreacher to test the defenses around the locket horcrux. Because Regulus called Kreacher back before he could be drowned, Kreacher lived to tell him about it, thus allowing Regulus to work out that it was a horcrux.
@@alecrutz956 you are right.. I should read books again
@@alecrutz956 That only made him realize that it was something valuable of Voldy's, it doesn't automatically mean he knew it was a Horcrux.
@@morrigankasa570 hmm you have a point

I think Umbridge’s Patronus looks like a Inferi cat.
I am always learning something

2. I think RAB was the de*d body Harry saw floating as he and Albus approached the island at the center of the cave.

Interesting
The only thing Voldemort doesn't have in common with a D and D Lich is that he still has skin
Not to nitpick, but the white walkers aren't zombies, the wights are. White Walkers create wights from corpses.
As a Scorpion 🦂 necromancy is the only magic worth my time 🧙 having a army of the dead on your team doesn't get any better than that 😎
WhAt happens to them when the wizard dies
So was that reanimated qilin in Secrets of Dumbledore not an inferious?
What if you made an infiri and forced it to use the resurrection stone? Would that summon the soul back to the body and could a body being kept animated in such a way rebond with it's soul?
It’s worth a shot
the people who talk shit about JK Rowling have many similarities: mindless, unthinking, lashing out at anything that opposes them
Inferi are terrifying! And my fear causes me to hate them.
Now you got me wondering if you got a army of Inferi and armed them with firearms.
I wonder what this will be like in Hogwarts legacy ,we can choose the dark path, I wonder what spells and Enchantments are needed to raise inferi it was never touched upon in canon.
Thanks for the video Dean 🙂
regulus black couldn't have been killed by the inferus, because had told creature to destroy the locket, but he could have died from a curse. like Dumbledore was cursed by the ring.
He said it was incomplete is they are a shell of themselves I think dumbledore definitely made inferie in his youth

Creating Inferi is disrespectful to the dead
just learned that Black Panther can also raise the dead.
🏞🏜🌐🏖
The Inferni didn’t get a whole lot of screen time, but they are probably the most terrifying type of zombies in cinema
Only if your mum doesn't go to the cinema
Tomorrow is my 27th birthday.
And those private property games do not work on me, no sales, no trades, no fines, and can't charge me for anything as all contracts are void.... amateurs.... today
lots of digging equipment cuz its not like they have magic... oh w8
So, inferi equals apature labs brand cake. Nice. Now I know what Glados did with all her victims, she turned them over to baldemort. Problem solved.
no it still didn't really work, they were still limited, useless as an army, only good as guards in the cave
I just thought of something. When the death eaters got Mad Eyes body, sure they took his eye…but his body was probably in the lake.
These thing are horrible beyond words.
First
I think it's a definite possibility that he was
