The notebook in particular was so powerful because it had the largest amount of volde’s soul, even when he was back into a form. Everytime you split your soul to make a horcrux, you only retain half the soul. So first time you’re left with 50%, next 25%, next 12.5% so in and so forth.
The notebook contained 50% of volde’s original soul so it was able to manifest his form best
Regarding the time turner, it surprises me to hear that some people would think that Harry meant he would’ve gone clinically insane, I always had assumed everyone knew he was speaking figuratively.
I think a lot of people think that’s what dumbledore wanted to impress on them. That it could literally drive you insane
I've read these books more than 6 times each and I never wondered how horcruxes are made. After watching your video and Rowling's answer I think I have a theory that is very close to the answer. So here it goes:
As you said, there are a few "steps" one must take to create a horcrux and killing someone is one of those steps. We certainly can't know what the steps before the murder can be, I'm guessing are a bunch of dark spells to prepare your soul for splitting, but I think I know what the final step is for splitting your soul.
Think about it, Voldemort had created multiple horcruxes before his encounter with baby Harry and yet that night Voldemort ended up creating another horcrux unknowingly, which means all the steps were met. So here's what I believe, the final step for creating a horcrux is to kill yourself, to commit suicide and when that happens instead of dying a part of your soul flies to whatever item you have prepared to make into a horcrux, which is also symbolic if you think about it, in order to cheat death you should be willing to die.
The night Harry lived Voldemort had already made the preparations for splitting his soul once again, knowing he would meet the murder requirement by killing Harry and his parents. Thanks to Lily's sacrifice though, Voldemort's spell, which was Avada Kedavra, bounced back at him therefore "killing" him and completing the process of making a horcrux. As Dumbledore said that part of Voldemort's soul attached to the first thing it could find which was Harry himself.
Tell me what you think!
Oh woah, that’s actually the first time I’ve ever heard that. Fascinating! I’ll have to dig a little deeper, not sure how it aligns with the other times we’ve seen horcrux made (Nagini) cool thought!
I don't think that wingardium leviosa necessarily requires more skill or experience to lift heavier obects, but rather they used the feathers in class as a safety precaution. If a first year manages to levitate the feather high enough then "loses" it, the feather would just float back down. If they practiced with heavier objects then that could lead to students getting clobbered on the head.
He said that in the video fam
Dumbledor basically created AI where he feeds his memories and then ask questions to validate theories

Alongside the idea that spells and incantations are discovered, not created, I think one of the reasons there are limits on magic - like they can't make food - has to do with the fact that they don't actually create anything. As magicians, they can only manipulate materials. Their magic is about physical stuff. Even the destruction and death they dish out operate on the physical plain. Meanwhile, Sorcerers operate in the deeper realms of creation, tapping into the fundamental magic of life. Music and love are mentioned as two examples of forms of magic that are much more powerful than anything taught at Hogwarts and both are intrinsically linked to creativity and life. The best the magicians can do is create an ersatz love via a potion but the side effects are often destructive and backfire on the witch or wizard that employed it.
Tom Riddle Sr was a victim of a love potion. Once Tom Riddles's mum had stopped using the potion in the hopes that he would love her without its effects, but instead, he left both her and the infant Tom Riddle Jr. Who would later go on later in life to change his name to Lord Voldermort
For the time travel issue, she should've just stated that time is a closed loop and everything winds up being a self-fulfilling prophecy, which is how PoA played out. All the little weird things their future selves were doing already happened. Harry conjured his patronus b/c he already saw himself do it (this would probably be the only plot hole area in this manner of time travel). But yes, time travel is a really dicey story topic b/c it can create a wide array of problems for the story.
Cursed child unfortunately invalidates this
@@scientistsupreme5211 Cursed Child is hot garbage though and not even written by JK. Its little more than fan fiction and im surprised JK allowed it to be performed
@@pj9615yeah but JK also wrote all of the fantastic beasts movies which are a complete mess as well.
I'm glad you brought up pensieve since so many people miss the pun. JK likes to have words that sound like other words but are spelled differently - Umbridge/umbrage, Knockturn/nocturne, Diagon Alley/diagonally, etc. The movies and so many people make a mistake pronouncing it 'penSEEVE' - we have a word 'sieve' (a strainer) and many if not most people pronounce it as 'siv,' and we also have the word 'pensive' meaning thoughtful as in thinking a lot, and that word is pronounces 'PENsiv' - so that would be the double meaning of the word, so yes, you're saying it right, PENsieve sounding like pensive. So glad to get that off my chest.
Yeah! I kind of wondered if the “seeve” pronunciation was a reference to sort of sifting through memories like a sieve (like sifting for gold)
@@VaultLore "Sieve" is pronounced like "siv" though, so the "seeve" pronunciation isn't a reference to a sieve.
TIL
I feel like almost everyone caught the obvious commonalities in words
Damn. I TOTALLY missed that pun. AND Diagon Alley!
Jeez! I feel like SUCH a dumbass right now! It would be one thing if I didn't particularly care for puns. But I LOVE puns!
...I just don't have anything to say for myself...
FiNALLY! a harry potter video that isn't a 10 hour video essay about how its the worst thing in existence
:)
I definitely agree I’ve watched other channels too strait to the point I like that
Thanks for watching you both! I appreciate it!
Harry Potter Theory is another good channel😊
SuperCarlinBros for good HP videos. They’ve covered everything.
I love hearing the way other people's brain works
As far as the veil goes id imagine since luna heard voices because she had great faith, mabe wizards with faith gathered there to try to communicate with the after life and listen to the voices
She was also the one who had seen her mother die probably not that long ago. It is very likely she would be ready to talk to her mother and that her mother would be very willing to talk to her, both of them were opened to trying out various weird and extreme types of magic... yes, she is the best candidate to hear the most through the veil.
i would think that the ancient witches and wizards would have had unimaginably hard to control magic and by limiting themselves to using wands and incantations they became able to control it better but lost a lot of the potency and freedom wizards have almost certainly had magic from the dawn of man but probably no control for a long time and that would be why no one knows the origins of magic that would also explain why the founders of hogwarts are so important as they were likely some of the first wizards and witches to have wands and wanted to teach others how to control their magic most likely due to witch hunts and things like that also explaining why wizards are so hellbent on being secret
Love these long videos. As a big Potter fan I really appreciate all your hard work. Hope your channel gets the recognition it deserves! Great research and presentation style.
Thanks for watching! Glad you’re liking the content! :)
The students probably use feathers because if they accidentally drop it it can't hurt someone.
Too true 🏋️
Obviously not true, because that would imply that safety is taken into consideration at hogwarts.
when first reading the books, I always figured making a horcrux involved cannibalism, given the "death-EATING" and all. And then when Rowling said it involved something "unspeakable" and "the worst thing you can imagine", I felt it was either that or necrophelia. To explain the accidental horcrux in Harry, it would mean that Voldie took a bite out of James or maybe in the killing of Lily, some of her blood got in Voldie's mouth? Or that the horcrux in that instance did NOT involve literal consuming of flesh, but perhaps the love protection meant Voldie consumed a bit of her soul (the part protecting Harry). Or maybe just when he died, his soul was so fragile that it split in two pieces instead of just dying, and one piece latched on to Harry. The necrophelia part could also hold up as when he killed James and then Lily while trying to kill Harry, something about the sexual link between the three might have come into play.
Yeah, I also think it’s one of those two things, though she never outright says either.
I think it’s the later. I don’t think Harry is a full Horcrux.
Well.., as australian ,,. & grown up with same deleated part of british literature & other things ,,. horcrux in essense is about a disposed person who like peverell cousins ,. wondered why a sellected member of family disappears ( invisibility cloak...) but tom riddle & dumbledores brother . bot witnessed a horcrux event .. like Leticia Lestrange dying .. but both were too unlearned .. not trained in currupted wizard politics ,,.. unmarried to the state ,,.. the person craving their high social status... Tom was hidden english aorphige .. & knew his life was connected ,, so by finding his dad ,,.?? he was re ~married to the liniege..,, but..
If i had a time turner, id use it to catch all the buses i miss. Granted, if i had a time turner i could probably apperate. so maybe id use it to shop sales ive missed 😂
haha yeah i feel like I would constantly be going back in time to see where I left my keys.
@@VaultLoreohhh you're into something here
Great video! And you have a very calm, relaxing voice. You should do a few sleep stories!
That could be good! I thought about doing a few and making a playlist for them. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@VaultLore you definitely should! I would watch them for sure!
Just like random short stories?
@@VaultLoreHi, I've just stumbled upon your channel but I'd be interested as well. There's another channel that does some sleep fantasy stories, like an immersive ride on the Hogwarts express. Maybe you can read some short fanfics with permission or you can use AI to create and tweak a story on a topic you like. I'd be down to help generate content if you're interested.
I'm old and love Harry Potter. The older I get the more I love the movies, the books the on life stuff. When I can't figure something out I just say, it's magic.
Haha that’s a fair and decent way to approach life I’d say
This video was awesome my man. 10/10 content.
Thanks so much! Thanks for watching!
Timeturners CANNOT change things that have already happened because Harry Potter follows the CLOSED LOOP rules of time travel. I don't know how JK Rowling doesn't understand her own rules she implemented. They didn't actually change anything in the past in prisoner of Azkaban. Yes it would be useful to have two of yourself to face threats in certain scenarios, but you could NEVER undo anything bad that happens. So this kind of time travel does not create plot holes.
Herpo the foul sounds like a guy you should not lend your chapstick to.
Would love it if you did some Eragon videos! They're super hard to find and would love to see some in your style! Eragon was my favorite growing up! With Harry Potter coming in second!
Haha I will add it to the list! I loved eragon growing up
A time turner survived because it’s heavily featured in the cursed child.
49:00 You say she destroyed All other Time Turners yet she proceeded to have 2 Time Turners still exist during the events of The Cursed Child Atleast 20 Years after she supposedly destroyed all Time Turners so I would argue she didn’t seem to care how they affected plot holes as she still allowed them to be used in her storytelling
I'd always thought JKR just have to say that Timeturners need to be set to "record" the time of certain limited area to work. So Hermione (or any wizard for that matter) activelt setted the TT at the beginning of each school day so she can rewind time later
With regards to the Veil; I think JK was trying to answer that question in the First of the Fantastic Beasts Movies. The MACUSA organization in America had a very similar device/artifact they pretty much used to get rid or people/things in the form of a Pool that made you relive past "Good" memories. It was essentially the Veil with that added effect. The third option given in this video makes the most sense, that it was used as Capital Punishment even having an amphitheater for witnesses.
Harry's parseltongue conversation in the zoo in the introductory chapters of the first book is an early clue that's only confirmed after Snape's passing. Harry was also a horcrux.
I’m hoping someday we will have a series about the founders of Hogwarts.
Horcruxes-- a popular fan theory is that there is a whole ritual that involves committing cold blooded unapologetic vindictive murder and you have to actually complete the ritual for that broken piece of your soul to be removed from the rest and inserted into something else, which always gets interesting when we get around to explaining "Okay, then how did Harry become one without completing the ritual."
I think part of the ritual and what makes it so cruel is the torture aspect.
What reason did Tom really have to open the Chamber? To prove to other slytherins he's the heir? That would be solved as soon as he spoke to a snake in front of the house. To terrorize the school for funzies? He doesnt WANT to go back to Wool's Orphanage in the middle of the Blitz of London! Thats why he pins it on Hagrid, because he doesn't WANT the school closed. He still has an attachment to Hogwarts I think at this point.
He had to have openned the chamber for a better reason that, and AYE like to think part of what makes the murder so vile, is the amount of torture and distress you have to put your sacrifice through beforehand. Imagine how Myrtle must have felt- slytherin's monster running around the school petrifying muggleborns.. SHE'S a muggleborn... she's also being mercilessly bullied by Olive Hornby and her friends every day for her glasses and her voice and the fact she was already getting acne, and she can't go home. She was tortured, emotionally, every day at Hogwarts, until the day she died. She was even crying and hiding alone in the bathroom when she died. She wasn't just a random girl who caught the basilisk's gaze by accident, she was mentally and emotionally broken down, scared, isolated, and absolutely miserable. Killing her, at what to her likely felt like the height of her distress, was an act of vindictive cruelty.
I think this works with Harry becoming a Horcrux, because when I think about Lily's death, it is also excessively cruel. Her husband told her to run, to get to Harry. She can hear him try to fight voldemort off, and then can hear it when his body hits the ground. She knows James is dead when she gets to Harry's room. And then, before her one year old baby, she begs, pleads, CRIES, desperately, over and over again to 'PLEASE Don't hurt her Harry, please, take her instead if you must, just don't hurt Harry!'
And when voldemort kills her, he not only breaks what could have potentially been a magically binding promise to snape (COULD HAVE, its not clear enough), he does it knowing all of Lily's cries are in vain. In fact, part of him probably takes pleasure in it. Her death is also a vindictive cruel release from what is likely the most terrifying and monstrous experience of her entire life. I solidly believe this aspect of terror is part of the Horcrux's ritual process and why it sets it aside from other cold blooded murder acts he's committed.
Scar Pain- I think it's Lily's protection. The interesting thing about his scar is that the "lightening bolt" is in the shape of a nordic rune- the Sowilo Rune. This rune represents the sun, or "light." It represents vitality, will, hope and of victory. The god of the Sun in nordic or old germanic peoples was a GodDESS, she was feminine, a nurturer. When I was a kid, the idea of "Love" saving harry seemed so stupid to me, but Lily begged for Harry's life THREE TIMES before he died, and no living horcrux was recorded before Harry- I think it's safe to say the scar and voldemorts soul being trapped there is her protection, stopping the soul piece from spreading OR "returning to it's master."
The cloak- I subscribe to the concept that Dumbledore is a meddlesome old fool who, despite his good intentions, has a serious case of tunnel vision for his own pursuits and that of "the greater good." His exerpt in the book explaining how he asked james to borrow it without clearly stating why just kinda supports that.
The veil- I don't have a theory on the veil itself, other than it's likely a relic from times long past, maybe before or during Merlin times-- it reminds me of Nimue and the ancient magic surrounding the lake or just herself depending on which version of the story you favor. I think the Department of Mysteries found it in their territory and somehow moved it? Or the entire building was built around it in an attempt to covet the unknown and that's how the location for the Ministry was determined. That WOULD be the entire nature of the Department of Mysteries-- coveting dangerous and unknown magical artifacts that can't be trusted to be left to the general public's hands and I really wouldn't put it past the government deciding it would be a smarter move to keep building more layers and departments up around it rather than keep it in an undisclosed separate location where they would NEVER be able to get that many levels of security around it.
Magical Limits- There's actually a popular fan theory that the reason there doesn't seem to be an obvious "drain" of energy when someone uses too much magic (that can't be explained by something else happening at the same time) is because in the books, most of the characters we're reading about performing magic are children and it stands to reason that kids are just much more flexible in their developmental years than adults. Especially since there are multiple points in the books where a character says something to the affect of, "So-and-so said only a really powerful wizard could have cast that," indicating that a weaker person would not have been able to cast and they don't exactly go over the ramifications of trying to cast a spell you genuinely don't have the power for- rather they just touch on how the spell can go haywire if not cast properly.
Not to mention, with there being such a stigma around dark magic, there is another popular fan theory that "light magic" manipulates the magic around you and causes less of a strain on the individual, while "dark magic" requires a magic and innate desire from within yourself, which causes it to be more addictive to cast, thus more dangerous, and there for slid down the slippery slope of being "bad." The only "light" spell I can remember in the books that required actual emotion and force behind it was Expecto Patronum, which was literally to counteract what?? A DARK CREATURE.
Time turners- The part I don't like about the time turner thing and her "removing them from the world," is they're brought back in the cursed child briefly, so clearly the implications don't bother jkr NEARLY as much as she'd like to suggest bc she gave the Cursed Child the big phat green stamp of approval. Either commit to the issues they bring or dont lol.
I feel like the existence and restrictions on Time turners are pretty easy to explain too-- just utilize Unspeakable's and how they run all types of magical experiments the GP have no idea about, some that dont even see the light of day bc they're determined to be too dangerous. I always assumed the time turners were a result of their experiments as soon as they were briefly mentioned in the books, I don't get it.
And yeah, the going mad thing? Remember how Hermione looked at Harry like he was fucking crazy when he said, "My dad is going to show up, right there, just you watch." He seemed, "mad" to her, because he literally could not process everything he was seeing when he saw himself casting a Patronus and went with the most logical explanation he could come up with at the time. Imagine how fucked up things would have been if at the last moment Harry didn't realize it was HIM who cast the patronus across the black lake and instead he watched his past self DIE?
I like your take on the silver instrument, I've actually never thought about it.
I do know it was McGonagall or Snape who made a comment about him being raised like a pig for slaughter, and that line rings truer every time I think about it- bc he apparently knew in Harry's second year but tells Harry he "didn't know for certain until now" in Harry's sixth lol.
New Spells- I think latin phrases just make it easier for witches and wizards to visualize or manipulate the magic in the way they desire-- I think of a bow n arrow; technically you can hit a target with just the arrow if you know how to throw it but the right string on that bow (or the latin phrases in this analogy) it makes it much easier to aim and shoot, even if you have no idea what the arrow will do or where it'll hit.
Also there is definitely a more technical aspect to it JKR just never dives into, like what makes you need to perform a ritual over just regularly casting a spell with your wand- JKR never even touched on Sabbats and Estbots (which ties heavily into Astronomy, which is taught at Hogwarts) beyond just the purebloods resenting muggleborns for pushing those magical traditions out of popularity for the sake of their evangelical celebrations. I don't think JKR ever really wanted to explain how magic spells are actually created because she never planned on any of her main characters being creative enough to do so where the reader/viewer an see.
First Wizards - I think either they have always coexisted, as magic has always existed, or muggles came first and the the "first wizards" are what muggles considered children of the gods-- it would explain mythological stories held onto in the muggle world about people like Hercules performing such great feats or how people believed Egyptian Pharaohs were descendants of Ra and that's why they were chosen to be Pharaoh for example.
I think it would be cool if the muggles were wrong about "people of the time believed these people were descendants of gods, but obviously there isn't much evidence to support this (and sometimes we'll even cast doubt on if the person actually existed at all for good measure)," because all the evidence is locked behind a Statute of Secrecy.
Looking forward to watching this on my walk tomorrow ❤
Yay!
With Nageini the Girl that becomes a snake, has a curse that the lady's in her family get. Lord Voldemort Turned Nagini into a Horcrux in 1914 after he murdered Bertha Jorkins.
Why is Harry always called Hairy all the time
Truly the biggest mystery
I don't get why the Time Turner is so universally regarded as an issue.
The story makes it very clear that you can't actually change the past. The timeline in Harry Potter is entirely linear; any alterations you make to the timeline were already baked into the timeline before you went back. There's no way to actually change events, because the alterations you intend to make have already happened.
But the alterations only happen because you go back in the first place
@@VaultLoreand then it's kind of like... Well, what's the point then??? It's like the 'waking up from a dream' trope...
I feel like Rowling made a interesting world that wasnt properly explored. Had Hogwarts focused more on teaching spells, then Harry couldve become a more competent wizard in half the time. Thus freeing up a few books to properly explore the world
What a great video. I’ve watched a million Harry Potter theory videos but yours is so well articulated and very thought provoking! Thanks! 😊
Thank you for the compliment! And thanks for watching!!
I enjoyed listening to this. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
I always thought cannibalism should have been the key to creating horcruxes
You should 100% make a bigger video about the rules of magic within the universe. I haven’t seen it done before and I think your analysis in Magic Limits was fantastic.
Good idea!! And thank you!
Two mysteries I’m curious about are 1. Wands changing ownership. How does that equate to Expelliarmus? Why does it work in some cases but not others? And 2. If ghosts can’t interact with the physical world, how does Binns collect and grade homework? There is no mention of a living teacher’s aide anywhere? And for that matter, how does he turn the pages of his notes?
Good questions! Might do a viewer questions special at some point.
Great vids man. Def a subscriber. Keep it up get to 10k
Almost there! Next stop 100k!
Mundane use of the time turner... love love love this.
I would go back and tell myself whether Doors of Stone is as good as I hope it'll be.
I need to make a Kingkiller video
@@VaultLore I'd click as quick as you can say "Kote."
The time turner thing is a bit convoluted when it comes to Hermmione’s being the only one ever to enter Hogwarts also. SuperCarlinBrothers have gone over this before but the gist is Hermione received 10 or 11 OWL’s and part of that was because of the use of a time turner. She needed a time turner to take any more classes. Percy got I think 12 OWL’s. How was he able to fit all that into his schedule without a TT. Also Barty Crouch Jr., when Crouch was insanely talking he mentions his son got 12 OWL’s. So at some point at least one of them must have had a time turner.
I dont think it was that Arthurs attack was just an interesting fact. I think he was just all business in trying to get him help. Also he was trying not to look at Harry. He had other silver instruments and none of them are ever really explained. When Harry was upset after Sirius died he smashed a number of them but they were later whole again, presumably because Dumbledore repaired them.
I dont think the magic system was completely thought out in that there are so many that would need to exist like when they talk about the household charms and many more detailed areas of life. In my head cannon I feel like once they begin using non spoken magic, they then just have to concentrate on what they are trying to do and dont exactly need a specific word after that.
I believe JK has said that the magical existence is a genetic mutation as you described and that can crop up spontaneously on occasion, hence the muggle born.
They say you cant block the Avada Kadavra curse. I dont think it ever said you cant block the other two, it is just implied that it wouldn’t be easy. As far as blocking the Avada Kadavra curse, they seem to be able to be blocked with physical objects but not with the protego charm. The example I would use is in the Ministry of Magic when Dumbledore moved the statue head in front of Harry when Voldemort tried to kill him. I feel like they are just too complex and strong and evil to be blocked. Harry is able to fight off the Imperius curse though too.
As far as Fred and George and the map, I think JK has said they were helped along to find the saying by the map because it could sense them as rule breakers too. IDK if that is true that she said that but I think I heard it somewhere.
I think you’re spot on with most of these! Thanks for watching, I appreciate you!
My initial reading of"Why does Harry's scar hurt?" was that it was the symbol of the first encounter between Harry and Voldemort, and any future connections between them revokes the first time they've met, when Voldemort got so close to Harry to almost kill him, but only managed to scar him.
Subsequent times when Voldemort gets "close" to Harry, the scar hurts, I imagined, that if Voldemort would get as close to killing Harry as he was initially, the scar would wound again.
Regarding Magic Limits and why Ron managed to lift a club rather than a feather.
My theory the main reason Hermione can do better than Ron or Harry at magic is because she is more focused, has determination, and is intentional when casting a spell. Same applies to any Wizard or Witch they're often very intentional and focused.
99% of the time Ron and Harry aren't really focusing, have sufficient determination and aren't being that intentional when casting spells. I'll add that Harry and Ron don't ever appear to be good at understanding the concepts of the magic they're learning, which could also be why they're not as adapt so to speak, when it comes to the learning of spells aspects.
Harry can do the Pratonus Charm when he follws the pre requisites: Happy thought's, clear speaking of the incantation and determined to cast it.
I believe most if not all spells require: Determination, focus, intention oh and clear speaking of the incantation. (I say determination and focus are different here, because they are)
I'll paraphrase what Snape says during Occlumency lessons "Occlumency requires force of mind and focus, I heard you threw off the Impirus curse, this requires similar skills" force of mind is essentially determination.
🙃
I suspect the bit of Voldy in the snake is quite happy where it resides. The bit of him in Harry is probably at a minimum uncomfortable and more likely in perpetual agony. A loveless fragment of soul embedded in one as loving as Harry…not pleasant for the soul I think. The pain Harry feels at its excitement/hope of returning to its master are the fleetingly few moments it is in less pain than normal. I would imagine.
Ah yeah interesting thought, it’s not content with Harry, but it might be with nagini. It’s also mentioned that Harry’s horcrux is incomplete or imperfect because of the nature of its creation.
I think the ministry was built around the veil much as hogwarts was built around the pensieve. I definitely remember reading or hearing about that in an interview. I’m thirty five so I have to sift through like twenty five years of lore mining to pinpoint where I read that, but I’m pretty sure that’s the case.
Dumbledore had the invisibility cloak because he asked james if he could borrow it as he wanted to study it and confirm it was one of the hallows
You can block an unforgivable curse, by simply creating an object to hit it first. Just create a chair or a cute bunny to take the curse for you.
Heres a big one, if harry needs answers or guidance why didnt he get a painting of his parents? Dumbledore? Why didnt dumbledore get a painting of voldermort and question him. Is there special spells to make the painting have all of the personalities and knowledge of the person? Snape was guided by dumbledores portrait in the 7th year, to many easy route unthinkable to characters….why were the three hungry so much, steal a pizza, save one slice then keep multiplying it….
"Is there special spells to make the painting have all of the personalities and knowledge of the person?"
Yes. Not sure if i read in on old Pottermore or from an interview with JKR, but it was said that
1) the portrait have to be from a wizard
2) The painter needs exception skill and knowledge of the person and the magic that is in place
And well, why he didn't create one of Voldemort is obvious imho: Paintings mirror the real life personality, so why should he answer any questions from Dumbledore? And he probably didn't create paintings of Harrys parents because it seems you need to know the person really, really good in order for it to work.
"why were the three hungry so much, steal a pizza, save one slice then keep multiplying it…."
This got explained. You can duplicate food, but then you would halve the nutrition. So even if you multiply 1 slice of Pizza to 10, you still only get the nutrition of one.
@@LegioXXI i was being sarcastic on the pizza, but nutrition is the factor? As fir the painting, i know voldermorts painting would not help, but ine of dumbledore would, and i know there wasnt one, but if dumby knew he was dying heshould have prepared a way to help harry directly, even his brither mentioned this to harry, otgers told harry that dumby made it too hard to prevent harry from falling into the halliwsas he did… the real answer is that it was all in the plit
for a while I've wondered how the horcruxes are actually created and what requirements must be met *before* the killing curse soooo maybe it wasn't Lily's literal love that saved Harry, but some rare ritual? out of fear for her "chosen" child's safety she did a blood ritual, that tied her powers to him, and vise versa (so now Petunia's blood relation safety mumbo jumbo isn't out of nowhere), and that spell protected Harry all his life. could be that ritual was similar to creation of the horcrux, so that if Harry were in any danger, the attemp on his life would backfire on the enemy. so with the ritual done and Voldemort knocking, all reqirements for someone to split their soul were put in place. what is that ritual - beats me
I'm suprised you didn't know the scar hurting was simply the piece of Voldys fragmented soul. That is more or less explained in the books themselves especially in Half-blood Prince/Deathly Hallows, albeit it not as clearly communicated. Dumbledore does tell Harry that he housed a piece Toms soul, most of the reason why it hurts is when Voldy is close by or feels emotions (happiness, anger so on) It's a conclusion that a reader can reach (not as a child prehaps, definitely when one is more older)
The veil being an older means of execution seems more likely after watching Fantastic Beasts 1, where the American ministry had something rather similar, though aesthetically different. Maybe curious wizards wanted to study death, made a one-way door, the officials confiscated it and it found a "clean" & "humane" way to kill criminals by making them walk through themselves. No illegal curse, no burial, no physical memorial for the "bad examples". For the most part it's out of style now.
Easy to imagine some attempted to commune with the dead through it also.
It can be seen as a ceremony for sacrifice, maybe some voluntary as well. There were those in history. In the modern times, it's just a relic in the basement.
It’d be cool if the veil was death itself and if taken literally death granted the hollows to the 3 people who could over come it or by studying it the the three brothers were able to take a piece of the veil to make the cloak, take a stone to speak to those who passed through it, and imbued a wand with the power of death.
U are very underrated bro keep up the good videos i luv them
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!🙏🏻
Maybe the HP universe has an untold spell system similar to D&D, where spells like Avada Kedavre are actually very high level and to counterspell it, you need to be a master of counterspells. In D&D if you want to instantaneously counter a spell, you need to cast counterspell at the same level of the incoming spell or above it, and if the killing curse is a 9th level (max level) spell, then you need to be skilled enough to cast a 9th level yourself OR make a roll for it, which could be visualised as the thing that happens when the beams from each wand meet. It would make a lot of sense if it worked in that sort of way. It would also explain how Molly killed Bellatrix with a different spell as she fired it at max level, thus doing the maximum amount of damage that spell could possibly make.
It would also explain why Harry merely pushed Bellatrix when he tried to torture her with the Crucio curse. He simply wasn't advanced enough, as I'm sure he was angry enough.
there is a really well written fanfic where Hermionies backstory is very different and the story is told from her perspective as a muggle-born "science-inclined" person, she is persuaded by the sorting hat into slytherin and becomes a loner who constantly experiments with the limits of magic as she deliberately strives towards fully understanding magic as a science and revolutionizing its usages as her sole ambition.
Maybe the limits of magic works like that in Frieren: if you can visualise it, you can do it:
I love this video and i would absolutely love videos from you about the Witcher Series. Although i get that if you're maybe not too familiar with it, its a lot to go through until your deep in the story and world
I know about it, but never read the books or played much of the games. I’ll add it to the list, it’ll just need some extra research! Thanks for watching!!
Can't remember where I saw the theory nor the specifics, but it boiled down to the Veil being a/the fourth Hallow unknown to Beedle, with the ministry later being built around it. As for the seats, I've never thought it an unexplained mystery that people would be theorising about; it's in the Dept of Mysteries where, during the day, the benches would be occupied by the employees studying it, no?
great videos, really appreciate the effort put into it !
Thanks for watching!
The "unblockable curses" problem is a non-issue in my POV. Dumbledore's fight with voldemort in the ministry clearly shows that they are blockable (both in the movie and the book) and voldemort has to resort to more novel attacks to catch dumbledore off guard because he knows (and experienced) that a simple AK can't beat dumbledore.
It more becomes an issue when a statue can block an unblockable curse so why aren’t people running around in armor? Clearly curses are stopped by physical objects and even if the armor breaks, it’s still good to avoid a single curse. I think the bigger issue is that having an instant death move makes any battle where the evil person isn’t using it kind of silly. They’re needed to be some expressly shown physical toll on the user.
Even the Ring of power from Lord of the rings is a Horcrux because it follows the same concept the dark lord in lord of the ring poured his sole into that ring.
4. it would be interesting to know, if wizards made that veil and if the purpose of the spell was to let ghost come and go or, something with the dead. or if it was there, wizards found it and just built around it to keep the mystical hidden and the unknown hidden and if it just remained a question mark to them all and all they know for sure was dying people can pass through? it would be nice to get more explanation in magic systems
Levitation takes advantage of electromagnetism. Objects at the molecular level or maybe the atomic or subatomic level have an electromatic charge.
Part of the problem with the Harry Potter books because it started out as nothing more than a child’s book. Unlike lord of the rings so there’s a lot of plot holes in a lot of things that don’t make any sense.
Like, I don’t care that there’s a wizard in the world they’re acting like Voldemort is the worst person ever when he killed a handful of people, and in real life, we have major wars and serial killers every decade.
And yet, Voldemort can’t even see that taking over a high school lol
36:46 Okay so I'm going with wizarding magic being a form of refined senjutsu. Nature energy.
Oh interesting!
Another thing about time turners that doesn’t makes sense is that there are a few other hogwarts students that would have needed them in order to achieve the high marks/ amount of classes on their newts like percy and barty crouch jr
True!
the time turner one is just science. Lets say you had your future self get food for your past self like you said. if that occurs you'd never have been hungry in the first place therefore creating a paradox and that is what in essence would cause the madness. the way jk went about time travel in the book is fine and reasonable but it clearly shows why she never used it again because the whole book is a paradox and the only reason its ok is because she had them avoid their past selves as much as she could but still with some critical thought the plot of PoA just falls apart
Haha critical thought would solve most problems in a world with magic.
@@VaultLore I'm not saying magic is logical just time travel has to be 😂😂
It’s funny that you bring up Fullmetal alchemist in your review of Harry Potter because as I got older, that’s sort of how I thought.
Fullmetal alchemist did such a better job explaining their magic system and yes I know it’s completely different but the older I get the more annoying it is that there’s no explaining how much magic someone can use.
Like, for instance, in the Witcher books and video games, you can see Yennifer on the brink of passing out when she uses a big spell.
The problem I have with Harry Potter is basically everything can be fixed so like in the second movie/book. There’s a spell to remove your bones but then there’s a drink to grow them back, but they never answer the question why?
In things like the Witcher or Fullmetal alchemist everything in the realm of magic just makes way more sense.
Like, for instance, in the visiting world, how is there? Poor families like the Weasley like how is it even possible to be poor?
Or for instance, on the hogwarts Xpress you have to pay for food, but the rest of the year food is completely free and you can have as much as you want. Why do you have to pay for food on the train ride? I love the series but man there’s a whole Lotta things that don’t make any sense at all when you think about it and it’s things that books like the Witcher, lord, of the rings, anime series, like full metal alchemist just explained so much better.
harrys scar hurts. because the piece of voldemort thats in him becomes more pronounced when the soul of his soul gets near, and the protection reacts to his presence causing harry the discomfort. and after the soul is removed we arent included curse child nonsense. his scar doesnt hurt anymore.
14;04 no the ministry was preceded by the wizard council and it is obviously ancient like ancient roman times 50 AD or even older.
You might also be interested in checking out Ravenclaw Rules by British band UNIT. I know nothing about them - the video just appeared in my 'recommended feed'. I found it again by typing UNIT Ravenclaw Rules Andy Martin. It's prog rock, Jim, but not as we know it.
Trust me bro, you really dont want to know what i'd use a timeturner for.
😦
Unforgivable curses are curses banned by the government. Because they are banned it limits the good guys from using them. The bad guys ignore the law and use them anyways. Does that sound familiar?
Guns don’t also do good things for people. This is not an equivalent. It would be like banning bullets if guns could still do other morally and socially respectable things.
@@VaultLore guns do have morally and socially respectable uses, but thats not the point. The point is that when you limit its use to only those who break the law, you are gonna get people using them for bad reasons. If a death eater shows up to my door i cant hit him with avada kedavra but he can and will. Just like if an armed criminal attacks me and Im disarmed i cant shoot him but he can and will shoot me
How a Horcrux is made sounds very similar to how a human becomes a werewolf. It's a certain spell and to complete it you must do certain things that permanently damn your soul.
I think you’re confusing werewolf with animagus. You turn into a werewolf every full moon after getting bitten by a werewolf. The animagus process is the complicated, intentional one.
But i thought Harry didnt become a horcrux in purpose but by accident. So if theres certain things you have to do to make a horcrux, how could anyone make one by accident?
Great video as usual, though i do prefer when you don't include the random audio clips from the movie - its very jarring and kind of jump scarey for a chill discussion video. Keen for the next video!
Appreciate the feedback! Trying to spice things up a little bit, I’ll keep working on it!
It was indeed a simpler time 🥲
Dumbledore couldnt of known after the tom riddle diary movie because they spent a full movie afterwards with harry trying to get the memory about the horcrux tht the professor hid. Id imagine he knew some type dark magic was used he just wasnt sure
How do you became an animagus and why tf Harry never tried?
3:40 has me weak I almost vomited seeing Voldemort in cursed fetus form I see where she’s coming from 😂😂
Movie viewers really don’t know much about the Veil. The movie changed a lot about it. They had Sirius die from the spell that hit him and fall into the Veil. Correct me if I’m wrong since it’s been awhile, but doesn’t the spell just make him fall into the Veil and the Veil is was kills him? That makes it even more crazy and mysterious
I think it’s meant to happen simultaneously, which kinda just makes it confusing for everyone but that seems to be what JKR wants..
There are plenty of instances of prolonged exposure, harry and the locket, also Voldemort and Nagini.
Granted that was a tethered Voldy and not a horcrux.
But still a fraction of his soul.
I have many scars from my life in law enforcement and as a Combat Security Contractor one of my two bullet wounds and two of my deep stab wounds hurt quite often. Technically the nerve endings are gone but yet they hurt.
But, at the wedding, it takes 10+ witches n wizards to set up the tent.. - Guess Dumbledore cant lift the entire Mins'try by himself
I feel like he could have lifted that tent
This is a great video

if you can increase the amount of already good food you have, surely all food would still be infinite?
That is one of the dumbest rules in this universe, and causes massive plot holes / would make physics no longer consistent. You can't make something out of nothing, ergo, you can't increase the quantity of something without using up some other resource. I know magic in Harry Potter already breaks laws of our understanding of physics, but they are roughly internally consistent. The food thing, though, is one that causes mass and energy problems, as you can create infinite mass out of nothing, which would fundamentally break gravity (Einstein's general relativity) and the first law of thermodynamics (energy cannot be created nor destroyed). Breaking those two physical laws makes non-magical physics fundamentally break down.
When the trio are running for their lives in book 7, I think there is a part when they are in the wilderness where they are running low on food. Like.... bruh....
lol like just magic some bread. Accio berries
Time turners are the best, my favorite part of the prisoner
Time turners are just devices to solve problems for lazy writers. In a world with time turners everyone would use them everytime for everything.
Aren’t people blocking unforgivable left right and centre in the later books? Fights between Aurors and death eaters?
Also I don’t get why JK would try and right time turners out of existence then make them the main plot point of cursed child?
Harry Potter and the Mysteries of Harry Potter
i would 100% use time turners to give myself backscratches
Good call
The books and Rowling make it clear that every act of murder rips the soul. Every single one. And unlike what many fans believe, the remaining soul isn't split in equal halves either.
Yeah If it were equal half’s it wouldn’t really work, his first split would end up being waaaay bigger than his 2nd, 3rd, etc.
That’s said, there must be a ritual to channel that split soul then, that’s what makes the horcrux.
@@VaultLore Yes, that's pretty much what Rowling is referring to in the quotes you included on horcruxes.
I have wondered what Dumbledore lied about to further his plans. Was the plan ment to seemingly fail?
you know what chilling adventures of sabrina has made me wanna see thinking of time turners now? seeing two Hermione's that year being secret best friends and at the moment of time they have to merge up again they have to like walk into the same spot at the same time and become one again. or risk making a paradox and two suddenly exist. that wouldve made time travel feel more dangerous but then less likely on why would they risk a student causing a paradox
Yeah higher stakes would have made the time turner better
The thing with the Timeturner that always annoys me, especially in the films, is Ron pointing out that he didn’t see Hermione walk in the room and that she just appeared out of nowhere. Because that wouldn’t have happened. In one timeline yes, Hermione would be absent from class, but she’d go back and correct it with the timeturner meaning she would indeed walk in with everyone and Ron would always see her in class. Adding in Ron being the only one to notice Hermione just appearing is really unnecessary foreshadowing that doesn’t make sense with the Timeturners powers.
There is no alternate timeline. What ever you do in the past always happened. You cannot allter time only relive it.
@@ajax201000 you are aware that Harry Potter isn’t real and is set in a world where there’s magic and the characters go back in time and change event right????
@@94frankiec You are aware that I am talking abput HP and bot real life right?
The rules of the time turner within HP clearly show that time cannot be changed. What you do in the past is what always happened.
@@ajax201000 you clearly don’t get my original comment and the continuity error that occurred with the script. Having Ron say he never saw Hermione walk into the room is completely wrong when she DID walk in the room after using the time turner. BEFORE she used the time turner, she wouldn’t of been in certain classes so then Ron could indeed say she wasn’t present for that lesson, but AFTER using the time turner, time was changed and Ron would see her go into the classroom
@@94frankiec Then that would be a goof with the movies or a plot hole. I need to rewatch the scene but time turners do not change time they merely allow you to travel through time. Anything you do (like Hermione throwing the snail at her younger self) already happened, there are no alternate timelines. Also Ron saying he didnt see her walk in just means he didnt see her not that she wansnt there.
I would always play lottery with time-turner, because I would always know which numbers would come out, so one could easily be a multi-millionaire having time-turner in a muggle world.
Infinite money glitch
:motherload
I liked the time turner hogwarts legacy expernation: the number of years you go back, you age that number
Oh yeah, that is a good natural limiter
