Yeah, several times. You were supposed to. It's sort of like a joke subliminal suggestion, to make you think Ben is figuring out a difficult puzzle like Hermione would. Problem is, I think Ben's wrong this time. ;-)
The golden flame was the pheonix feather core taking liberty. Pottermore states that "They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike". This is why I think the golden flames occurred. P.S not dissing the theory, just stating my opinion
ahm yeah so.. wouldn't the liququid luck make you find an antidote if you chose so? or even just a spell to avoid any drawback? because in that case.. the point of toxicity is pretty irrelevant to me and does not even make sense, since getting poisoned is quite unlucky and should not be happening
On Pottermore, J.K. Rowling says that wands with phoenix cores have a tendency to perform magic on their own, often to the owner's dismay. I don't believe it has anything to do with the horcrux. When Voldemort kills Harry in Deathly Hallows, Harry does not have his phoenix feather wand with him, so his wand does not defend itself.
SuperCarlinBrothers Plot hole, maybe? It's magic, so maybe the wand just knew that Harry didn't need help in that moment. It could be that the wand only acts when it's owner is powerless otherwise, such as on the motorbike when Harry was almost unconscious.
I think in the Ministry of Magic the most important thing is Harry's overwhelming grief/love for Sirius. Love was always the thing that shut out Voldy's connection and probably suppressed the horcrux (a thing of evil that probably recoils from love) significantly. As to rogue phoenix wands...that is probably what JKR was going for because the wandlore is so important. But I prefer this theory.
Maybe the wand didn't do anything in the department of mysteries because Harry was able to and meant to use the wand to defend himself. In the other case Voldemort was about to kill him but he was almost unconscious and couldn't do anything about it.
Doors can be enchanted against it probably like the key room in stone ron tries alohomora and it does t work but the door into fluffys room does work (makes me wonder why they didnt do the same to that door and dumbledoore just would keep the key....
6:03 You could also argue that Harry was borderline unconscious before, so the Horcrux stepped in like a reflex, but in the Forest Harry was awake and in control.
Maybe Snape DID use liquid luck the night Lilly died. Liquid Luck isn't all powerful- it allows you to have favorable outcomes within certain limits. Dumbedore's Army was completely infused with liquid luck at the end of book 6, and it didn't stop the Death Eaters from getting in with a werewolf, Bill being mutilated, or the death of Dumbledore. All it did was cause some of the Death Eater's curses to miss the Army specifically. I mean, you could argue the death of Dumbledore was all part of his plan and the luck wouldn't have effected that, but the Death Eaters getting in with a werewolf? Bill getting mauled for life? Definitely proves Liquid Luck can't prevent terrible things from happening.
i don't think chance can stop an old man without defense be killed by 4 bloodthirsty psycho's, 1 schoolboy threatened with death, and one man who was commanded by *possibly* the most powerful wizard on earth
Snakie harry only gave the liquid luck to a select few. He didn't have enough for everyone but he was mainly focused on ron herminone and genny. Liquid luck only afects the one who drinks it. Not everyone else. Im sure if say herminone was around bill before he got hurt then the liquid luck would have allowed her to protect him. Harry described being on it as a feeling. Like it was guiding him. So if ron hermione or genny were around others it could have guided them on how best to protect others. Snspe could have used liquid luck on the day lilly died his reason would maybe to save the one he loved. But as we know he didn't make it in time. Or he may have taken it after to give him the luck to prove to dumbledore he is truly on his side now. Way to many possiblites. It excites and makes your head hurt all at once
I disagree with this theory. I personally think that it is because of the unusual combination of his wand. In Pottermore, it states that a wand having Pheonix feather as their core would act upon its own accord when in mortal danger. I think it is for this reason the golden flames were produced.
Based on the comments, people really did not get the "which/witch" Hermione pun. No, you are not going crazy. No, you're not the only one who noticed. No, it came up 5 times. No, it's not that hard to understand.
What's most amazing about the HP canonical universe is that it provides us with enough information to explain away otherwise major plot holes like this.
The problem with this theory is that the "Golden Flames" appear once more at the end of the book, in Harry's final duel with Voldemort. "'Avada Kedavra!' 'Expelliarmus!' The bang was like a cannon blast, and the golden flames that erupted between them, at the dead center of the circle they had been treading, marked the point where the spells collided." -The Flaw in the Plan, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows At this point, Harry is no longer a Horcrux (the Horcrux having been destroyed two chapters before their duel), AND Harry no longer has his wand (the Phoenix core wand which "absorbed Voldemort's power and regurgitated it" earlier). So, this theory (as much as I enjoyed it) AND the book's explanation fail to tell us why the "Golden Flames" appeared one last time to assist in ending Voldemort's life. Therefore, we can't be certain that is why the "Golden Flames" appeared earlier in the book, because they are clearly not dependant on the Phoenix core wand, nor Harry's state of being a Horcrux.
First, it should be understood that the ability to produce magic is genetic. That's why it follows familial lines. If the ability to produce magic is a recessive trait, that would also explain why muggle-born children can also produce magic despite being born into non-magical families. So, the ability to produce magic in literally in your blood. In addition, magic acts a bonus immune system. Which is why witches and wizards naturally live longer and don't get sick from common muggle illnesses (like the common cold or the flu). So far, so good? Okay, keep that information in your head while we explain the Golden Flames. The only constant in both appearances of the Golden Flames are Harry Potter and Voldemort as physical beings. They don't use any of the same wands (Voldemort using Lucius' wand in the first appearance, and the Elder Wand in the second appearance. Harry uses his own wand in the first appearance, and Draco's wand in the second). Harry is also no longer a Horcrux the second time around. Additionally, Harry did not purposely attempt to conjure the Golden Flames in their second meeting, instead casting Expelliarmus. So, the only things that stayed the same were Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort as PHYSICAL beings. Their innate and genetically granted magical ability, and their magical immune systems. Those are the only things that remain unchanged in both appearances of the Golden Flames. Therefore, the Golden Flames need to come from either Voldemort or Harry Potter as physical beings. So, the Golden Flames are a physical manifestation of one of their genetic magical abilities. Obviously, the Golden Flames come from Harry. BUT WHY?! In the Graveyard three years earlier, Voldemort uses Harry's blood to regain his physical form. The blood used underwent some intense and Dark Magic. So Harry - more specifically his innate magical ability - recognizes the bastardization of its own genetic material in Voldemort, and lashes out at it. Harry doesn't encounter Voldemort after the Duel in the Graveyard until the escape from Privet drive, the first instance of the Golden Flames. The next time Harry encounters Voldemort is when he sacrifices himself in the Graveyard, consciously choosing not to defend himself from death. The next, and last, time Harry encounters Voldemort is when Harry approaches him in the Great Hall, with the intent of duelling him and ending his reign of terror. The Golden Flames only appear when Harry has the will to survive SPECIFICALLY against Voldemort. The Golden Flames are an epic manifestation of Harry Potter's magical ability in the face of Voldemort, and act as an engine of the prophecy to help Harry both survive his encounters with Voldemort and ultimately kill him. The only problems with THIS theory are: 1. "Why don't the Golden Flames appear in the Duel in the Graveyard?" 2. "Why don't the Golden Flames protect Harry in the Forbidden Forest, when Voldemort successfully casts the Killing Curse at him?" That's where vaccines and the field of Health Psychology come into play. Harry hadn't encountered Voldemort's new magical ability (new genetic variant fusion of his own blood and Harry's) until the Duel in the Graveyard. So when they duel, and their spells join, Harry is essentially getting a magical vaccination to protect himself from Voldemort in the future. The Golden Flames are literally Magical Killer T Cells against Voldemort specifically. They exist to protect Harry SOLELY from Voldemort, as if Voldemort's attempts on Harry's life are literally a virus. In the Forbidden Forest, Harry willingly accepting death acted as an immunosuppressant, which is why the Golden Flames don't protect Harry from being killed in the Forbidden Forest. That's how it works, I'm 100% convinced.
The objective power of the Golden Flames can also be guessed at from the theory about the True Path of the Elder Wand. If you go by the rules of the Tale of Three Brothers and subsequent legends following the Elder Wand, the previous owner must be killed so the new owner can take control. Additionally, the Elder Wand cannot be defeated in any duel under regular conditions. Since Harry didn't kill Draco, and Draco didn't kill Dumbledore, and Dumbledore didn't kill Grindelwald, and Grindelwald didn't kill Gregorovich, the Elder Wand never truly followed that path. Grindelwald, with the Elder Wand, was defeated by Dumbledore in a duel under regular conditions, which should be impossible. Also, if the Elder Wand refuses to kill it's owner, it shouldn't have been able to successfully cast the Killing Curse on Harry in the Forbidden Forest. The reason he survived is because the Horcrux took on the curse and was killed instead of Harry, and Harry was dealing with the fever dream of having someone else's soul fragment detached from your own existence. Still, the Elder Wand would not have even been able to send a lethal curse to make contact with Harry at that point. Assuming Gregorovich was truly the owner of the Elder Wand at that point in time, he was killed by Voldemort. So Voldemort was the true master of the Elder Wand until Harry Potter killed him with the Golden Flames. The Golden Flames did not allow for normal conditions in their duels, meaning the Golden Flames are more powerful than Voldemort and the Elder Wand combined. Which also means that Voldemort's own Killing Curse didn't kill him, but Harry's Golden Flames did. So, Harry becomes the true master of the Elder Wand at that point instead.
"The View" is a daytime talk show hosted by women -- Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Paula Faris and Sara Haines. They kinda just sit around and talk about what's going on.
Michael Berryman Actually, it doesn't describe the flames in the same way as the ones before. For starters, with the first instance of the golden flames, there are no other spells that collide with Harry's wand to create this. Secondly, Harry didn't control the golden flames coming out of his wand the first time around. Thirdly, the flames in the final duel with Voldemort didn't come out of Harry's wand, but were more of the result of the collision of the two spells, and in a way, not unlike Priori Incantatem [see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, chapter 34]. In the first instance, Harry did not command for the flames to come out of his wand, as they only come when a wizard is in a time of great need and is totally unexpected. It's described as "Magic beyond your abilities". Sort of like adrenaline. Lastly, the term 'golden' used in the second instance is only used as description of the impact of the two spells; sparks, as it were. Thank you for reading, if you have any questions just ask. I'm a massive fan of the Harry Potter franchise as you can probably tell. I've read the books countless times!
“I believe that your wand imbibed some of the power and qualities of Voldemort’s wand that night, which is to say that it contained a little of Voldemort himself. So your wand recognized him when he pursued you, recognized a man who was both kin and mortal enemy, and it regurgitated some of his own magic against him, magic much more powerful than anything Lucius’s wand had ever performed. Your wand now contained the power of your enormous courage and of Voldemort’s own deadly skill: What chance did that poor stick of Lucius Malfoy’s stand?” The wand probably imbibed Voldemorts power during priori incantatum when it literally reached into Voldemort's wand and forced it to regurgitate a shadow of those slain by it. A good theory of what the golden fire is would likely be pheonix fire from the pheonix feather core.
The diary horcrux defence was Tom Riddle not the Baslisk also the ring still would have killed him, all snape did was slow it down hence why dumbledor told snape to kill him as he was dying anyway.
SuperCarlinBrothers Dumbledore himself says the diary was an interesting piece of magic. Tom still needed a vessel in order to command the Basilisk; Ginny controlled the Basilisk. When Tom controls the Basilisk, Tom is at his most powerful and his vessel has transferred most of her life to him. I believe his wand is responsible for the magic. From the books, it seems the wand knows its owner better than the owner will ever know its wand. Like you said, Harry's trust in Dumbledore provided enough reason for the wand to not defend Harry in OOTP. Apart from the chase, Harry was never helpless, and I think the wand was willing to help Harry.
RedChairGaming I could be wrong, but when Dumbledore made that assumption of what the diary was, it was before he has developed his theory of Voldemort having Horcuxes. The Riddle in the diary is a piece of Voldemort's soul acting through the diary, or even AS the diary.
Why does Hermione keep flashing on screen? And great theory I didn't even think about this. Haven't read the books recently but I remember this part confusing me.
I believe that there is a simpler and a far more satisfying explanation: If Dumbledore created a Horcrux, Fawkes; and Fawkes' feather is inside Harry's wand, then the golden flames might have come from the tiny part of Dumbledore.
Amanda Williamson Dumbledore does magic almost exclusively without a wand. It was also a minor plot point that everyone was learning how to do it (without success) in book 6.
No they were learning to do spells without talking, they were still using their wands. They never learned to do magic with just their hands. At least, that we know of in the books.
one of the professors who did the examinations in the O.W.L year later said that Dumbledore did things with a wand he had never seen any student to do before. so he must have figured out how to do magic without the wand. as the professor said no other student had done such things with a wand.
Amanda Williamson They spoke about it again before the movie Fantastic Beasts came out. There is a text from Pottermore explaining the magical schools around the world, in the African school there is a tradition of making spells without a wand. And in the movie Fantastic Bests, Grindewald transfigureted as Graves gets the suitcase from Newt in MACUSA without using his wand.
My guess is as a baby he cant remember his mother's death but watching Cedric Diggory's death at the end of the Tri-Wizard Tournament is why he can see them in "Order of the Phoenix"
because for you to see Thestrals you don't need only to see death, you need to understand it. Harry was just a baby he couldn't understand what was going on at that room, he couldn't proccess the whole situation
From Pottermore: "Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike." Harry has a phoenix feather wand. It was the wand itself acting on its own that shot gold flames since phoenix feather wands can and will cast whatever spell they want to if the situation calls for it. Sure Harry might have wanted to cast a disarming spell but the wand wanted to murder Voldemort with fire.
@@roccoterminiello3221 not during the final battle Voldy had Elder Wand and Harry has Draco's wand though cause of wands choosing the wizard Harry won the wand's loyalty. Which also won the Elder Wand loyalty cause Draco disarmed Dumbledore.
Voldemort is like a girl 1:he has a crown 2:he has a special cup 3:he has a favourite locket 4:apparently he has a obsession with his hair 5:and has an obsession with a teenage boy
Taken from the Horcrux Wiki page: "J. K. Rowling revealed in Pottermore that Prof. Quirinus Quirrell served as a temporary Horcrux when Voldemort's soul possessed his body during Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts.[11] A notable difference, however, is that the piece of soul within Quirrell was able to exist without its container, as it abandoned Quirrell and left him to die in the Underground Chambers. This is due to it being the "main" soul that serves as the awareness and consciousness of Voldemort's psyche. Based on this, the animals that Voldemort inhabited during his years of exile, such as rats and snakes, can also be considered as temporary Horcruxes." SIDE NOTE ON HOW HARRY BECAME A HORCRUX: "For instance, Dumbledore explicitly stated that Voldemort's soul had become so unstable that it simply "broke apart" when Voldemort tried to murder Harry Potter for the first time on October 31, 1981 in Godric's Hollow."
I think a horecrux defends itself depending on how much of voldemorts soul is in it. Because in Tom riddles diary had half of Voldemorts soul so it could protect itself better. Harry couldn't have defended himself as much as that as he has the least amount of voldemorts soul in him (aside from nigini I think)
You missed the big defense mechanism from the locket: it tried to strangle Harry in the lake when it sensed the sword nearby. I think the theory is sound, but I just happen to think it's one of the true plot holes. I don't think there's any real good explanation for it happening in the chase scene but not at the Ministry.
and squibs... maybe that's why filch has so many keys? because he's the only one in the castle who can't alohomora the locks lol. also locks tell you "you shouldn't enter this room" even if you technically could if you really tried. like, most bathroom stalls have very simple locks that easily could be picked/broken, but they are not there to be impossible to open, they are just there to symbolize "hey please don't open this door" and prevent people from jerking a door open and find someone on the toilet. they should probably have locked the door to the 3rd corridor with magic tho...
+FilippaMD It was deliberately designed as a set of progressively harder traps to keep out unauthorized people without actually killing them. The first barriers were relatively easy to overcome, keeping out only muggles and maybe first-years, and then each got harder and harder. Otherwise they could simply have piled everything into a single utterly-lethal room and let anyone wander into instant death.
What if it's the Horcrux in Harry, the part of Voldemort's soul, that fights against Voldemort in his physical form ? If you do the math, Harry has a bigger percentage of Voldemort's soul in him than Voldemort does himself, so maybe the two divided parts of Voldemort's soul, the one in Harry (that's bigger) and the one in Voldemort's body (that's smaller) are basically fighting each other, for they want to be the ultimate dark lord. It's basically 2 parts of Voldemort arguing which is the strongest, and because Harry has more of Voldemort's soul in him, he wins the duel. P.S.: What if Harry is a great wizard BECAUSE of the big chunk of Voldemort that's in him ? I mean, it already gives him parseltongue, maybe it's also the reason he is a good wizard ? Maybe without it he'd just be kinda meh
he also cast a patronus very... err, conveniently quickly. Voldemort cant really help him with learning spells, only the "power" so harry had a lot of willpower to cast a patronus in the first place
The books explain that it does it matter how much of Voldemorts soul remains in him, he will always have the same amount of power and mental acuity. His body may be disfigured, but his power is constant. So your analysis of the "Stronger" percentage is invalid.
Here's the problem with liquid luck. 1) Acquire sample of properly brewed liquid luck 2) Drink liquid luck 3) While under effects of liquid luck, brew more liquid luck. The effects will guarantee that you brew it correctly. 4) Repeat as necessary, selling off any excess for massive profit. 5) Break the Harry Potter world.
Except that brewing liquid luck is exceptionnally long, about minimum 6 months of maturation as well, longer than what luck a little bottle provide you...
But also Harry didn't have HIS wand when Voldemort shot the killing curse at him in the forest. If we remember Harry's wand was broken. He was using Dracos wand. So I feel that the wand theory still stands. And also we know from Wat ollivander has said about wands is that they have feelings and are basically self aware to a certain degree. "the wand chooses the wizard" so the wand sensing Voldemort is a definite possibility being as how Voldemorts wand was not only Harry's wands brother and equal but Harry's wand recognizing Voldemorts power from the previous battle in the graveyard.
@@kennethnash598 Lucious Malfoy's wand vs. Harry's wand in the sky Elder wand vs. Draco's wand in the forest right? not Lucious Malfoy's vs. Draco Malfoy's Would have been kinda cool if Malfoy Dad's wand went against Malfoy Son's wand with Harry and Voldemort wielding them
@Aldodo Horn I agree.. Lockhart stole Ron's broken wand and tried to use on him and Harry. For the wand theft plus all of the lies and cheats, he had it coming.
This is actually one of the better explanations I've heard. I've wondered for a long time why Harry didn't demonstrate more horcrux powers. All the other horcruxes could do stuff for self protection.
That explanation seems likely. I mean, I was willing to accept Dumbledore's theory, and just assume it all worked that way because, well, magic; but this explains a lot more.
If Harry unintentionally defended himself because that's what horcruxes do, why didn't Nagini defend herself when Nevele attempted and succeeded in killing her?
I know I'm late to this video ,but wanted to say that this is the best, most convincing theory I have heard for the golden flames mystery! Very good video!
Maybe Harry should have made his wand into a horcrux then he wouldn't have ever broken the wand he loves so much. It will only cost a little bit of his soul. That's a fair enough trade right?
Jonathan Feng so its one word? sorry I never read the books although Im really into the series so I come off sometimes as though I dont know much about it but its just that I missed some things by only watching the movies
alohamora works on non warded locks. with magic if their is a utility spell their is likely a counter to it. another example of this effect is when you are unable to summon something by acio.
Khostov 7G-0X *kidnaps you* *invites nerd friends to house* *puts you in middle of demonic circle* We chant: "READ THE BOOKS READ THE BOOKS READ THE BOOKS" *hands you the first book*
One problem with this theory is in the chamber of secrets, when harry gets a basilisk tooth in his arm. The basilisk tooth has been proven countless times to easily kill horcruxes. One of two things should have happened in this scenario: 1. Harry should have been immediately killed in the chamber of secrets 2. Golden flames should have murdered the basilisk with no difficulty
Mr_NarwhaL true, but you need to do it deliberately. harry wasnt trying to cast any spell, he felt his wand do it on his own. in the book, he is confused about why that happened when he didnt do anything and no one can explain why
The book was pretty explicit, he wanted to use the power of the stone to bring back his family, which sounds pretty reasonable to me. Basically his whole life was formed from the deaths of his family, and a great deal of his problems and hardships would be gone if his family was still alive, so I can see him forgetting logic for long enough to put on the ring that could fix everything.
yep, he only wanted his sister back.... he said so himself.... its so nice to see everyone's flaws, the last book pretty much reminded us that Dumbledore is human, a legendary mind, torn between the mistakes from his youth and the responsabilities he had in his prime, im not sure if he truly believed in the deathly hollows again after his sister's death, when he discovered the cloak and later the stone his emotions simply took over and pretty much killed him.... a shitton of plotholes, but still a great series
Well if I saw a ring which would solve everything the logical thing would be to put it on plus it's a ring come on its human nature (Just my opinion not dissing or anything )
HOLD IT! If it's a Horcrux defending itself, then why is the wand doing something and not Harry? My answer: Dumbledore's Horcrux! Yes, I know, J.K. Rowling shot it down, but doesn't it make perfect sense here?
Alohomora making locks obsolete is probably like using bobby pins to pick locks normally, just on the magical level. You can open locked doors that way, but it doesn't mean locks are useless and strong locks can stand it no problem.
I would love a direct response SCB here. Something I never fully accepted is why or more to the point, how, harry ended up a horcruxe in the first place. It's not as if voldy was trying to make one. He didn't even know or feel or sence that Harry was holding a fragment of his soul. So the excuse given for how voldies fragment of soul latched itself on to the only living thing in the room makes no sense at all. If horcruxes can be unintentionally made, why are people not unintentionally making them all the time when they die or get murdered? I love the Harry Potter universe as much as the most ardent fans; but let's keep it real here. Harry turned into a horcruxe to make a plot point work. And I have always believed far from being mapped out from the start, this idea came along much later and this was just another sloppy retcon. And to be blunt, this sort of thing tends to happen quite frequently with JK despite the excellent work in the first series. Harry as a horcruxe is compelling and makes for a good story. But we are all asked to essentially ignore how it happened and just accept it as fact on faith. And I did just that because Harry as a horcruxe works as a plot line. But years on now, and especially in light of how low JK has fallen, these inconsistencies become glaringly apparent. What it boils down to is " Harry is a horcruxe because I say so, end of discussion " and that really spoils an otherwise brilliant twist. Here's the thing, JK's world is one of magic, she could have invented anything. It would have taken some effort to do well, but it could have been done. This is another reason I believe this to be a retcon, because it feels like it was done on a dead run and she didn't have the time or inclination to set it up properly. As it stands, there is no reason for Harry to be a horcruxe that's supported by universe rules. As much as that greatly vexes me, what's worse is just how many times things like this happen. The Harry potter universe is brilliant, but is far from a highly polished pearl. It remains very much a diamond in the rough.
First of all, *Horcrux Second of all, in the book, Dumbledore states that Voldemort's soul was unstable and thus prone to getting more cut. Which is why we have Harry Horcrux Potter
In the HP universe, not many people have made horcruxes, and they are considered magic that is so dark that very few people actually know what they are. So it is not really known what happens when a person who has made a horcrux "dies". IMO, if a wizard who had made ONE horcrux was hit with a killing curse, his body would have been destroyed, and he would have become a disembodied alive spirit, just like Voldemort before GOF. But it's likely that when someone splits their soul 5 times, it becomes unstable enough that if the wizard "dies", their soul splits again, unintentionally.
These three responses are pretty solid explanations of Harry as an unintentional Horcrux and the fact of Harry's parselmouth abilities showed up in book 2, suggesting this was planned well in advance. It seems Stan Juan just wanted an opportunity to rant about JK Rowling

The golden flame was the pheonix feather core taking liberty. Pottermore states that "They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike". This is why I think the golden flames occurred.
P.S not dissing the theory, just stating my opinion
But the golden fire happens again in the final duel between harry and voldemort, and at that time, Harry doesn't have the Phoenix wand.
but he also doesn't have the horcrux either
the golden color in the final battle appeared when green and red jets collided. thats normal thats what red and green makes actually..

Liquid luck is toxic in large quantities. Wizards can't abuse it because they wouldn't last very long.

Alohomora is probably like a picklock: Not everyone can open every lock with this. You need to have some certain skill for some more advanced locks.

Connor notyerbidness any nosey kids will know why they shouldnt be on that floor after seeing fluffy lol
Picklocks are also defined as instruments for picking locks...
What do you think?? Wand or Horcrux?!
SuperCarlinBrothers Wand
SuperCarlinBrothers idk man
SuperCarlinBrothers Horcrux. Really liked this video 😉
Wand!!!
Totally believe the Horcrux theory!!
6:03 You could also argue that Harry was borderline unconscious before, so the Horcrux stepped in like a reflex, but in the Forest Harry was awake and in control.
I was confused on why Hermione kept popping up until I realised he kept saying wich (witch)

Maybe Snape DID use liquid luck the night Lilly died. Liquid Luck isn't all powerful- it allows you to have favorable outcomes within certain limits. Dumbedore's Army was completely infused with liquid luck at the end of book 6, and it didn't stop the Death Eaters from getting in with a werewolf, Bill being mutilated, or the death of Dumbledore. All it did was cause some of the Death Eater's curses to miss the Army specifically.
I mean, you could argue the death of Dumbledore was all part of his plan and the luck wouldn't have effected that, but the Death Eaters getting in with a werewolf? Bill getting mauled for life? Definitely proves Liquid Luck can't prevent terrible things from happening.
i don't think chance can stop an old man without defense be killed by 4 bloodthirsty psycho's, 1 schoolboy threatened with death, and one man who was commanded by *possibly* the most powerful wizard on earth
it just let you feel what to do to achieve the best possible outcome
Snakie harry only gave the liquid luck to a select few. He didn't have enough for everyone but he was mainly focused on ron herminone and genny. Liquid luck only afects the one who drinks it. Not everyone else. Im sure if say herminone was around bill before he got hurt then the liquid luck would have allowed her to protect him.
Harry described being on it as a feeling. Like it was guiding him. So if ron hermione or genny were around others it could have guided them on how best to protect others. Snspe could have used liquid luck on the day lilly died his reason would maybe to save the one he loved. But as we know he didn't make it in time. Or he may have taken it after to give him the luck to prove to dumbledore he is truly on his side now. Way to many possiblites. It excites and makes your head hurt all at once

Did you just make a split second pun with witch?
nicholslittles98 Star Wars yes. Yes he did
Witch witch pun do you mean?
Yes. Yes he did.
Hermione showed up 6 times in this video
Which witch?
I disagree with this theory. I personally think that it is because of the unusual combination of his wand. In Pottermore, it states that a wand having Pheonix feather as their core would act upon its own accord when in mortal danger. I think it is for this reason the golden flames were produced.
Hudson Justus Most likely, personally i believe thats it
If that were the case, though, why wouldn't Ollivander have known that was what happened when Harry asked him about it?
R u Indian justus
then again, if we go by their theory that Fawkes is Dumbledore's horcrux, then they aren't far off in this theory
also fawkes teleports in a burst of... GOLDEN FLAMES
Based on the comments, people really did not get the "which/witch" Hermione pun.
No, you are not going crazy. No, you're not the only one who noticed. No, it came up 5 times.
No, it's not that hard to understand.
deathisinevitable people are dumb

Now I can say that I've been flashed by Emma Watson.
Harry: Why did my wand shoot golden flames?
Dumbledore: Love, Harry, Love.
What's most amazing about the HP canonical universe is that it provides us with enough information to explain away otherwise major plot holes like this.
The problem with this theory is that the "Golden Flames" appear once more at the end of the book, in Harry's final duel with Voldemort.
"'Avada Kedavra!'
'Expelliarmus!'
The bang was like a cannon blast, and the golden flames that erupted between
them, at the dead center of the circle they had been treading, marked
the point where the spells collided."
-The Flaw in the Plan, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
At this point, Harry is no longer a Horcrux (the Horcrux having been destroyed two chapters before their duel), AND Harry no longer has his wand (the Phoenix core wand which "absorbed Voldemort's power and regurgitated it" earlier).
So, this theory (as much as I enjoyed it) AND the book's explanation fail to tell us why the "Golden Flames" appeared one last time to assist in ending Voldemort's life. Therefore, we can't be certain that is why the "Golden Flames" appeared earlier in the book, because they are clearly not dependant on the Phoenix core wand, nor Harry's state of being a Horcrux.
First, it should be understood that the ability to produce magic is genetic. That's why it follows familial lines. If the ability to produce magic is a recessive trait, that would also explain why muggle-born children can also produce magic despite being born into non-magical families.
So, the ability to produce magic in literally in your blood.
In addition, magic acts a bonus immune system. Which is why witches and wizards naturally live longer and don't get sick from common muggle illnesses (like the common cold or the flu).
So far, so good?
Okay, keep that information in your head while we explain the Golden Flames.
The only constant in both appearances of the Golden Flames are Harry Potter and Voldemort as physical beings. They don't use any of the same wands (Voldemort using Lucius' wand in the first appearance, and the Elder Wand in the second appearance. Harry uses his own wand in the first appearance, and Draco's wand in the second). Harry is also no longer a Horcrux the second time around. Additionally, Harry did not purposely attempt to conjure the Golden Flames in their second meeting, instead casting Expelliarmus.
So, the only things that stayed the same were Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort as PHYSICAL beings. Their innate and genetically granted magical ability, and their magical immune systems. Those are the only things that remain unchanged in both appearances of the Golden Flames.
Therefore, the Golden Flames need to come from either Voldemort or Harry Potter as physical beings. So, the Golden Flames are a physical manifestation of one of their genetic magical abilities.
Obviously, the Golden Flames come from Harry. BUT WHY?!
In the Graveyard three years earlier, Voldemort uses Harry's blood to regain his physical form. The blood used underwent some intense and Dark Magic.
So Harry - more specifically his innate magical ability - recognizes the bastardization of its own genetic material in Voldemort, and lashes out at it.
Harry doesn't encounter Voldemort after the Duel in the Graveyard until the escape from Privet drive, the first instance of the Golden Flames.
The next time Harry encounters Voldemort is when he sacrifices himself in the Graveyard, consciously choosing not to defend himself from death.
The next, and last, time Harry encounters Voldemort is when Harry approaches him in the Great Hall, with the intent of duelling him and ending his reign of terror.
The Golden Flames only appear when Harry has the will to survive SPECIFICALLY against Voldemort.
The Golden Flames are an epic manifestation of Harry Potter's magical ability in the face of Voldemort, and act as an engine of the prophecy to help Harry both survive his encounters with Voldemort and ultimately kill him.
The only problems with THIS theory are:
1. "Why don't the Golden Flames appear in the Duel in the Graveyard?"
2. "Why don't the Golden Flames protect Harry in the Forbidden Forest, when Voldemort successfully casts the Killing Curse at him?"
That's where vaccines and the field of Health Psychology come into play.
Harry hadn't encountered Voldemort's new magical ability (new genetic variant fusion of his own blood and Harry's) until the Duel in the Graveyard. So when they duel, and their spells join, Harry is essentially getting a magical vaccination to protect himself from Voldemort in the future.
The Golden Flames are literally Magical Killer T Cells against Voldemort specifically. They exist to protect Harry SOLELY from Voldemort, as if Voldemort's attempts on Harry's life are literally a virus.
In the Forbidden Forest, Harry willingly accepting death acted as an immunosuppressant, which is why the Golden Flames don't protect Harry from being killed in the Forbidden Forest.
That's how it works, I'm 100% convinced.
The objective power of the Golden Flames can also be guessed at from the theory about the True Path of the Elder Wand.
If you go by the rules of the Tale of Three Brothers and subsequent legends following the Elder Wand, the previous owner must be killed so the new owner can take control.
Additionally, the Elder Wand cannot be defeated in any duel under regular conditions.
Since Harry didn't kill Draco, and Draco didn't kill Dumbledore, and Dumbledore didn't kill Grindelwald, and Grindelwald didn't kill Gregorovich, the Elder Wand never truly followed that path.
Grindelwald, with the Elder Wand, was defeated by Dumbledore in a duel under regular conditions, which should be impossible.
Also, if the Elder Wand refuses to kill it's owner, it shouldn't have been able to successfully cast the Killing Curse on Harry in the Forbidden Forest. The reason he survived is because the Horcrux took on the curse and was killed instead of Harry, and Harry was dealing with the fever dream of having someone else's soul fragment detached from your own existence. Still, the Elder Wand would not have even been able to send a lethal curse to make contact with Harry at that point.
Assuming Gregorovich was truly the owner of the Elder Wand at that point in time, he was killed by Voldemort.
So Voldemort was the true master of the Elder Wand until Harry Potter killed him with the Golden Flames. The Golden Flames did not allow for normal conditions in their duels, meaning the Golden Flames are more powerful than Voldemort and the Elder Wand combined.
Which also means that Voldemort's own Killing Curse didn't kill him, but Harry's Golden Flames did. So, Harry becomes the true master of the Elder Wand at that point instead.
Haha thanks. It comes from hours on hours of discussion among a group of friends. If I made a channel, it'd look like The View x)
"The View" is a daytime talk show hosted by women -- Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Paula Faris and Sara Haines. They kinda just sit around and talk about what's going on.
Michael Berryman Actually, it doesn't describe the flames in the same way as the ones before. For starters, with the first instance of the golden flames, there are no other spells that collide with Harry's wand to create this. Secondly, Harry didn't control the golden flames coming out of his wand the first time around. Thirdly, the flames in the final duel with Voldemort didn't come out of Harry's wand, but were more of the result of the collision of the two spells, and in a way, not unlike Priori Incantatem [see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, chapter 34]. In the first instance, Harry did not command for the flames to come out of his wand, as they only come when a wizard is in a time of great need and is totally unexpected. It's described as "Magic beyond your abilities". Sort of like adrenaline. Lastly, the term 'golden' used in the second instance is only used as description of the impact of the two spells; sparks, as it were.
Thank you for reading, if you have any questions just ask. I'm a massive fan of the Harry Potter franchise as you can probably tell. I've read the books countless times!
“I believe that your wand imbibed some of the power and qualities of Voldemort’s wand that night, which is to say that it contained a little of Voldemort himself. So your wand recognized him when he pursued you, recognized a man who was both kin and mortal enemy, and it regurgitated some of his own magic against him, magic much more powerful than anything Lucius’s wand had ever performed. Your wand now contained the power of your enormous courage and of Voldemort’s own deadly skill: What chance did that poor stick of Lucius Malfoy’s stand?”
The wand probably imbibed Voldemorts power during priori incantatum when it literally reached into Voldemort's wand and forced it to regurgitate a shadow of those slain by it.
A good theory of what the golden fire is would likely be pheonix fire from the pheonix feather core.
Yes, it feels like the fire of eternal life (phoenix fire) would be one of the very few forces capable of counteracting pure death (Avada Kedavra)
Oooo i like this theory. Phoenix Fire emitting from the wand sounds right to me!
just like how fawkes teleports
Lol, in the words of the "hello future me" dude, "a wizard did it!"
**Gandolf bobbing his head his head sexily**
The diary horcrux defence was Tom Riddle not the Baslisk also the ring still would have killed him, all snape did was slow it down hence why dumbledor told snape to kill him as he was dying anyway.
+Darren Fenn tom riddle WAS the diary and he summoned the basilisk so yes the diary did summon the basilisk
SuperCarlinBrothers Dumbledore himself says the diary was an interesting piece of magic. Tom still needed a vessel in order to command the Basilisk; Ginny controlled the Basilisk. When Tom controls the Basilisk, Tom is at his most powerful and his vessel has transferred most of her life to him.
I believe his wand is responsible for the magic. From the books, it seems the wand knows its owner better than the owner will ever know its wand. Like you said, Harry's trust in Dumbledore provided enough reason for the wand to not defend Harry in OOTP. Apart from the chase, Harry was never helpless, and I think the wand was willing to help Harry.
SuperCarlinBrothers There's some BEEF going on here 😂😂😂
RedChairGaming I could be wrong, but when Dumbledore made that assumption of what the diary was, it was before he has developed his theory of Voldemort having Horcuxes. The Riddle in the diary is a piece of Voldemort's soul acting through the diary, or even AS the diary.
Tom Riddle was the horcrux from the diary. So, Tom Riddle was not the defender, he was the defended. And what was he defended by? The basilisk.
Why does Hermione keep flashing on screen? And great theory I didn't even think about this. Haven't read the books recently but I remember this part confusing me.
Trinity Franklin i think its everytime he says "which" which
/*pic of Hermione flashes on screen/*
sounds like "witch"
a female wizard is called a witch, so her flashes a picture of hermionie every time he says "Which" (witch) so its like a pun
Hermione appears every time Ben says "which" because it's pronounced the same as "witch" ;)
But which witch is which?
+ Ann Chapple *grins* You mean "every time he says "which" *flash* which *flash* sounds like witch *flash*. XD
Maybe during the Ministry part, the Harry Horcrux chose to hide itself, knowing that Dumbledore was about to protect it.
the witch thing I found it funny but no one else probably did either.
The first one I was like "uhh ok, lol". But by the third one I was actually canning myself XD
Different Leafy Same
Different Leafy I just laughed then thought why am I laughing at this???
I laughed so hard 😂
did anyone else notice that whenever Ben said wich, Hermione popped up? lol!
cause he's obsessed with her
I saw it and thought he was implying that Hermione was Nagini's master but yours makes much more sense!! lol
I was just wondering about that
Ruby Schull yeah! Super hilarious 😂😂😂
I believe that there is a simpler and a far more satisfying explanation:
If Dumbledore created a Horcrux, Fawkes; and Fawkes' feather is inside Harry's wand, then the golden flames might have come from the tiny part of Dumbledore.
Omg wait this is also a good theory. This towel section is on top of it! Xo
Underated comment
please explain why wizards doing magic without wands is brought up in the first book but never talked about again??
Amanda Williamson ikr
Amanda Williamson Dumbledore does magic almost exclusively without a wand. It was also a minor plot point that everyone was learning how to do it (without success) in book 6.
No they were learning to do spells without talking, they were still using their wands. They never learned to do magic with just their hands. At least, that we know of in the books.
one of the professors who did the examinations in the O.W.L year later said that Dumbledore did things with a wand he had never seen any student to do before. so he must have figured out how to do magic without the wand. as the professor said no other student had done such things with a wand.
Amanda Williamson They spoke about it again before the movie Fantastic Beasts came out. There is a text from Pottermore explaining the magical schools around the world, in the African school there is a tradition of making spells without a wand. And in the movie Fantastic Bests, Grindewald transfigureted as Graves gets the suitcase from Newt in MACUSA without using his wand.
could you explain why Harry only sees the thestrals in the 5 book when he saw Lily die in front of him when he was a baby
My guess is as a baby he cant remember his mother's death but watching Cedric Diggory's death at the end of the Tri-Wizard Tournament is why he can see them in "Order of the Phoenix"
because for you to see Thestrals you don't need only to see death, you need to understand it. Harry was just a baby he couldn't understand what was going on at that room, he couldn't proccess the whole situation
José Gonçalves thanks I'm glad you cleared that up
Isn't the comprehension explanation of why Harry could only see Thestrals after book 4 actually given in book 5?
Lara A-I He didn't travel with the thestral carriages until in book 5. Ergo, not hanging around with them.
From Pottermore: "Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn or dragon cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike."
Harry has a phoenix feather wand. It was the wand itself acting on its own that shot gold flames since phoenix feather wands can and will cast whatever spell they want to if the situation calls for it. Sure Harry might have wanted to cast a disarming spell but the wand wanted to murder Voldemort with fire.
Who else saw Hermione at 3:53 and 4:46 and 5:15 and 5:16 AND 5:22?
I did!!!! :D
But why tho?
because he said which (Witch)

Almost right except you forgot to mention 0:17 when you see her with the time turner.
The golden glames where seen again, in the final battle the golden flames are mentioned again when there spells collided
That'sthe golden flames I thought this video was going to be about. xD
If by there you mean Harry and Voldemort’s then that’s priori incantatem
@@roccoterminiello3221 not during the final battle Voldy had Elder Wand and Harry has Draco's wand though cause of wands choosing the wizard Harry won the wand's loyalty. Which also won the Elder Wand loyalty cause Draco disarmed Dumbledore.

2:he has a special cup
3:he has a favourite locket
4:apparently he has a obsession with his hair
5:and has an obsession with a teenage boy

You forgot the diary.
most improtant thing the diary xD
6:he has a diary
Awww such a cute little princess!!
lol
Taken from the Horcrux Wiki page: "J. K. Rowling revealed in Pottermore that Prof. Quirinus Quirrell served as a temporary Horcrux when Voldemort's soul possessed his body during Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts.[11] A notable difference, however, is that the piece of soul within Quirrell was able to exist without its container, as it abandoned Quirrell and left him to die in the Underground Chambers. This is due to it being the "main" soul that serves as the awareness and consciousness of Voldemort's psyche.
Based on this, the animals that Voldemort inhabited during his years of exile, such as rats and snakes, can also be considered as temporary Horcruxes."
SIDE NOTE ON HOW HARRY BECAME A HORCRUX: "For instance, Dumbledore explicitly stated that Voldemort's soul had become so unstable that it simply "broke apart" when Voldemort tried to murder Harry Potter for the first time on October 31, 1981 in Godric's Hollow."

P.S. You guys are like my favorite RUclipsrs
Welp. You get me instead XD
Tayo LOL
Evelyn Kindall Hai I'm here!!
Not going to happen for me
I think a horecrux defends itself depending on how much of voldemorts soul is in it. Because in Tom riddles diary had half of Voldemorts soul so it could protect itself better. Harry couldn't have defended himself as much as that as he has the least amount of voldemorts soul in him (aside from nigini I think)
You missed the big defense mechanism from the locket: it tried to strangle Harry in the lake when it sensed the sword nearby.
I think the theory is sound, but I just happen to think it's one of the true plot holes. I don't think there's any real good explanation for it happening in the chase scene but not at the Ministry.
Locks keep out Muggles
I know this was 8 months ago, but how would a muggle get into Hogwarts?
77FantasyAngel77 oof
and squibs... maybe that's why filch has so many keys? because he's the only one in the castle who can't alohomora the locks lol. also locks tell you "you shouldn't enter this room" even if you technically could if you really tried. like, most bathroom stalls have very simple locks that easily could be picked/broken, but they are not there to be impossible to open, they are just there to symbolize "hey please don't open this door" and prevent people from jerking a door open and find someone on the toilet. they should probably have locked the door to the 3rd corridor with magic tho...
..and inferi
+FilippaMD It was deliberately designed as a set of progressively harder traps to keep out unauthorized people without actually killing them. The first barriers were relatively easy to overcome, keeping out only muggles and maybe first-years, and then each got harder and harder. Otherwise they could simply have piled everything into a single utterly-lethal room and let anyone wander into instant death.
What if it's the Horcrux in Harry, the part of Voldemort's soul, that fights against Voldemort in his physical form ? If you do the math, Harry has a bigger percentage of Voldemort's soul in him than Voldemort does himself, so maybe the two divided parts of Voldemort's soul, the one in Harry (that's bigger) and the one in Voldemort's body (that's smaller) are basically fighting each other, for they want to be the ultimate dark lord. It's basically 2 parts of Voldemort arguing which is the strongest, and because Harry has more of Voldemort's soul in him, he wins the duel.
P.S.: What if Harry is a great wizard BECAUSE of the big chunk of Voldemort that's in him ? I mean, it already gives him parseltongue, maybe it's also the reason he is a good wizard ? Maybe without it he'd just be kinda meh
Although what I just said is kinda what the theory you just made, so, yeah...
Clément Saden he'd most likely be an above average wizard anyways since his parents are both great wizards as well
Yeah true
he also cast a patronus very... err, conveniently quickly. Voldemort cant really help him with learning spells, only the "power" so harry had a lot of willpower to cast a patronus in the first place
The books explain that it does it matter how much of Voldemorts soul remains in him, he will always have the same amount of power and mental acuity. His body may be disfigured, but his power is constant. So your analysis of the "Stronger" percentage is invalid.
4:42
The Canon length of this basilisk is 50 feet not a 100 feet
"Why are there even locks if there is also alohomora" is also what it feels like to learn lockpicking in the real world.

Here's the problem with liquid luck.
1) Acquire sample of properly brewed liquid luck
2) Drink liquid luck
3) While under effects of liquid luck, brew more liquid luck. The effects will guarantee that you brew it correctly.
4) Repeat as necessary, selling off any excess for massive profit.
5) Break the Harry Potter world.
Except that brewing liquid luck is exceptionnally long, about minimum 6 months of maturation as well, longer than what luck a little bottle provide you...
But also Harry didn't have HIS wand when Voldemort shot the killing curse at him in the forest. If we remember Harry's wand was broken. He was using Dracos wand. So I feel that the wand theory still stands. And also we know from Wat ollivander has said about wands is that they have feelings and are basically self aware to a certain degree. "the wand chooses the wizard" so the wand sensing Voldemort is a definite possibility being as how Voldemorts wand was not only Harry's wands brother and equal but Harry's wand recognizing Voldemorts power from the previous battle in the graveyard.
So Voldemort was using Lucious Malfoy's wand and Harry was using Draco Malfoy's wand. hmmm.
@@kennethnash598 Lucious Malfoy's wand vs. Harry's wand in the sky

What I'm curious about is there a way to reverse the memory charm done on Lockhart and Hermione's parents?
The Doctor 2006 On Lockhart no. But with Hermione's parents. She can reverse it.
@Aldodo Horn I agree.. Lockhart stole Ron's broken wand and tried to use on him and Harry. For the wand theft plus all of the lies and cheats, he had it coming.
I would think that it would take someone as talented as Lockhart with memory charms using the Elder wand to fix Lockhart.
Edited for spelling.
Hermione explicitly states she can fix it
And this also helps to explain how Harry can survive for so long being hunted by powerful witches and wizards for YEARS.
The first guy to ever write a script must have been like: 3:07
Your eyes make my day so much better 💚💚
This is actually one of the better explanations I've heard. I've wondered for a long time why Harry didn't demonstrate more horcrux powers. All the other horcruxes could do stuff for self protection.
I'm so early, this video doesn't even have 1,000 views yet!
Kara On Camera SAME BITH
"Always... now I'm sad..." me too 😂
This is honestly one of my favorite HP theories, and I think you're 100% correct.
That explanation seems likely. I mean, I was willing to accept Dumbledore's theory, and just assume it all worked that way because, well, magic; but this explains a lot more.
If Harry unintentionally defended himself because that's what horcruxes do, why didn't Nagini defend herself when Nevele attempted and succeeded in killing her?
Kaden Greene with Harry, he saw it coming and the horcrux had time to react. Not so with Nagini.
Chris Hale Oh true.
Nagini was pretty much in Full Fight Mode by that point anyways
Neville, not “Nevele”
Kadensttuf 972 from what I remember, Nagini had her back turned away from him and wasn't aware of what was happening.
I know I'm late to this video ,but wanted to say that this is the best, most convincing theory I have heard for the golden flames mystery! Very good video!
2:39 "it contained a little of Voldemort himself" ...this got me thinking... is Harry's wand a horcrux??? dun dun duh!
That is interesting, but no. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been snapped by a simple spell from Hermione's average wand.
Maybe Harry should have made his wand into a horcrux then he wouldn't have ever broken the wand he loves so much. It will only cost a little bit of his soul. That's a fair enough trade right?
The movie kind of makes the "golden flames" look like Expelliarmus
I went into this one skeptically, but I’m convinced! Well done, once again, Ben.
Is this called the "towels section"? Why?
Jake Mullen Yes, they did an episode on towels and made a joke by calling it the towel section, since then it stuck.
Jake Mullen I always figured they called it that because that's where most towels go when you're wearing them.
I believe it's because if the video were our "head", the comment section would be where we wear our towel.
I just came here to dry off.

aloe hemora or however you spell it only works on extremely basic locks

Jonathan Feng so its one word? sorry I never read the books although Im really into the series so I come off sometimes as though I dont know much about it but its just that I missed some things by only watching the movies
Most things, actually.
alohamora works on non warded locks. with magic if their is a utility spell their is likely a counter to it. another example of this effect is when you are unable to summon something by acio.

One problem with this theory is in the chamber of secrets, when harry gets a basilisk tooth in his arm. The basilisk tooth has been proven countless times to easily kill horcruxes. One of two things should have happened in this scenario: 1. Harry should have been immediately killed in the chamber of secrets 2. Golden flames should have murdered the basilisk with no difficulty
The vessel must be damaged beyond repair for the horcrux to die. Harry was healed by Fawkes so he did not die so the horcrux survived as well.
Zecalin or because Harry wasnt a horcrux uet. He became one in the graveyard.

Very well done and very thought provoking. I plan to watch this again...
The fire was golden because Harry's wand contains sodium ions.
what does golden flames have to do with anything? am i missing something? looks to me like it was whatever spell harry was using to defend himself
harry didn't cast it, it just appeared, so that's why it's confusing
Mr_NarwhaL Harry didnt say a spell but although Harry did not say a spell the flames shot out
yea but you can cast spells without having to say them, unless it says something else in the book(i haven't read the deathly hallows)
Mr_NarwhaL true, but you need to do it deliberately. harry wasnt trying to cast any spell, he felt his wand do it on his own. in the book, he is confused about why that happened when he didnt do anything and no one can explain why
oh okay, thanks for the explanation, it would make much more sense if he just cast a spell in defense idk why JK Rowling wrote it that way.
I really like your explanation much much better. Thank you!

The book was pretty explicit, he wanted to use the power of the stone to bring back his family, which sounds pretty reasonable to me. Basically his whole life was formed from the deaths of his family, and a great deal of his problems and hardships would be gone if his family was still alive, so I can see him forgetting logic for long enough to put on the ring that could fix everything.
I'm oddly reminded of the Hobbit, with Gollum lunging at the ring yelling, "My precious!"
yep, he only wanted his sister back.... he said so himself.... its so nice to see everyone's flaws, the last book pretty much reminded us that Dumbledore is human, a legendary mind, torn between the mistakes from his youth and the responsabilities he had in his prime, im not sure if he truly believed in the deathly hollows again after his sister's death, when he discovered the cloak and later the stone his emotions simply took over and pretty much killed him.... a shitton of plotholes, but still a great series
Rohma Karamat maybe it's like a "If you strike me down I'll become more powerful blah blah" but I'm not completely sure
Well if I saw a ring which would solve everything the logical thing would be to put it on plus it's a ring come on its human nature (Just my opinion not dissing or anything )
I never thought of this explanation, that's neat.
1:23 Voldemort is right on top of Harry!
that sounds dirty XD
Adam Mucci 😏😏😏😏😏
there hasn’t been a SCB theory I’ve disagreed with
I prefer it to just be a mystery that we can talk about it. Mysteries creates long term engagement most of the time.
I like this explanation. It's cool.
that's a brilliant theory =)
summing this episode of Super Carlin Brothers in five words. "Harry's Wand Protecting Voldemort's Horcrux"
there are counter spells for alohahomra so it can still be lock
Exactly there is even a full story about the need of Anti-Alohomora locks creation in the Ps3 game "Book of Spells"
HOLD IT! If it's a Horcrux defending itself, then why is the wand doing something and not Harry? My answer: Dumbledore's Horcrux! Yes, I know, J.K. Rowling shot it down, but doesn't it make perfect sense here?
Oh, never mind, you say it was the Horcrux, not the wand..
Maybe the horcrux is controlling and commanding the wand, and Harry is just not aware of it?
I find your arguments persuasive totally convinced of this Theory now
What's with the Hermione at 5:14 and 5:16
And 5:22
Oh
Which witch
And 3:53
Which witch.
Whats with hermione popping up
EDIT: Nevermind im an idiot, well just very slow i get it now lol -which = witch-
So a witch is on screen :3
Alohomora making locks obsolete is probably like using bobby pins to pick locks normally, just on the magical level. You can open locked doors that way, but it doesn't mean locks are useless and strong locks can stand it no problem.
In the forest Harry doesn't have his wand, it was broken in Godric's Hollow, he repairs it with the elder wand after the battle
Or am I wrong?
Yup
Yup
Yes, and no
His wand was broken, but he had Draco Malfoy’s wand(?)
I would love a direct response SCB here.
Something I never fully accepted is why or more to the point, how, harry ended up a horcruxe in the first place. It's not as if voldy was trying to make one. He didn't even know or feel or sence that Harry was holding a fragment of his soul. So the excuse given for how voldies fragment of soul latched itself on to the only living thing in the room makes no sense at all. If horcruxes can be unintentionally made, why are people not unintentionally making them all the time when they die or get murdered?
I love the Harry Potter universe as much as the most ardent fans; but let's keep it real here. Harry turned into a horcruxe to make a plot point work. And I have always believed far from being mapped out from the start, this idea came along much later and this was just another sloppy retcon. And to be blunt, this sort of thing tends to happen quite frequently with JK despite the excellent work in the first series. Harry as a horcruxe is compelling and makes for a good story. But we are all asked to essentially ignore how it happened and just accept it as fact on faith. And I did just that because Harry as a horcruxe works as a plot line. But years on now, and especially in light of how low JK has fallen, these inconsistencies become glaringly apparent. What it boils down to is " Harry is a horcruxe because I say so, end of discussion " and that really spoils an otherwise brilliant twist. Here's the thing, JK's world is one of magic, she could have invented anything. It would have taken some effort to do well, but it could have been done. This is another reason I believe this to be a retcon, because it feels like it was done on a dead run and she didn't have the time or inclination to set it up properly. As it stands, there is no reason for Harry to be a horcruxe that's supported by universe rules. As much as that greatly vexes me, what's worse is just how many times things like this happen. The Harry potter universe is brilliant, but is far from a highly polished pearl. It remains very much a diamond in the rough.
How, then, is Harry a parselmouth?
First of all, *Horcrux
Second of all, in the book, Dumbledore states that Voldemort's soul was unstable and thus prone to getting more cut. Which is why we have Harry Horcrux Potter
In the HP universe, not many people have made horcruxes, and they are considered magic that is so dark that very few people actually know what they are. So it is not really known what happens when a person who has made a horcrux "dies". IMO, if a wizard who had made ONE horcrux was hit with a killing curse, his body would have been destroyed, and he would have become a disembodied alive spirit, just like Voldemort before GOF. But it's likely that when someone splits their soul 5 times, it becomes unstable enough that if the wizard "dies", their soul splits again, unintentionally.
These three responses are pretty solid explanations of Harry as an unintentional Horcrux and the fact of Harry's parselmouth abilities showed up in book 2, suggesting this was planned well in advance. It seems Stan Juan just wanted an opportunity to rant about JK Rowling
For the locks:
In Magic Beasts we do see that not all locks can be opened with Aloha mora.
This makes so much more sense!
