I have always had a theory that Tom Riddle did indeed know it was the Resurrection Stone. And he used it to talk to his ancestors Salazar Slitherin; and that’s how he discovered the chamber of secrets. But I do agree that he lost interest in its powers after that because everyone who is dead in his life was worthless to him.
If he knew about resurrection stone... Then he would have known about deathly hallows... He would have gone after deathly hallows and become master of death(had one of three) .... Instead of creating horcruxes.... I think he didn't know....
The resurrection stone brings loved ones from the dead, not relatives. You have to love the person who you are resurrecting. Tom Riddle never knew love. The stone would not, and did not, work for him. He is incapable of understanding how it works. I assume he was never aware of its uses but sensed its magical properties.
@@grantlogan9207 I don't think that's the case. Because when Dumbledore was talking to Harry about it he dismisses it by saying who would he "Want to bring back" not who "could he bring back". I'm convinced that he would "want" to bring back his prized ancestor, but because the stone lures you to death, I bet he became terrified of it after using.
@@dylanruby6687 there is no point of him bringing back an ancestor. he alone is the most powerful at his time according to him. as for the basilisk, he probably heard it talk. like he said in his memory, "they come to me, whisper things."
@@dylanruby6687 I see where you draw your conclusion, however I dont believe thats how the stone works. "Want" is subjective in both of our cases, meaning just because you want something, does not mean your heart desires or loves it. I.e money, everyone wants money, but it is not necessarily a desire of your heart. Our only use we see is with Harry, other than the orginal use, but both instances brought back people they loved and knew in their hearts. If it was just who you wanted, i believe we wiuld have seen more individuals appear for Harry, for instance Dumbledore, maybe Cedric, maybe Snape at that point, maybe Dobby if thats even an option. Lol im not saying youre wrong, you could be right, this is just how i see it.
Stephanie see, people like you and me, either call ourselves potter heads or super fans, as we know every bit of movies, books, spinoff books, fan movies, fan theories, internet conspiracies about hp and what not. It's just a kinda satisfactory thing for us. Where as Rowling who earned a fortune out of these books movies and merchandise stuff, is bathing in gold coins. If you read her blogs and tweets, you can presume that now she is only creating fuss in the original series. Stupid things like the cursed child, dd was gay, several non canon things added. Honestly talking, my fandom is being fed by knowledge and theories from the fans communities and hard working memebers like you. The original author just pissed me off. Now she meant more money, not pleasing the audience
@@muhammadwaqarularfeen So yes I totally agree with you but I was just saying that despite my love for the Harry Potter series and all the knowledge about this series, the books, fandoms and all other things Harry Potter related I just wanted to learn about this and this channel lets me find out about some things that even the books dont talk about. Thanks for the comment though
I think it is more likely than not Tom Riddle knew about the Legend of the Hallows. He just didn’t care about them very much besides the Wand. Did he know he possessed the stone? Maybe, if he knew the sign of the Hallows. And studied the RS long enough to figure out the ring held no ordinary gem. So did he know? Yes, I think probably. Just did not care.
Voldemort knew about the story of the story of the Elder wand without really knowing or caring about the Deathly Hallows, but considering he never looked for it, he was just mildly interested in the Elder wand.
Maybe he knew but hid it because of Grindelwald. Remember that Voldemort is a competitor of Grindelwald. He strongly suspected/knew Grindelwald had the Elder Wand. Grindelwald's plan was to collect all three would have been common knowledge at the time. In 1943, Grindelwald was at the height of his power. What better way to knock Grindelwald out of the equation than by hiding the ring in a place of virtually no significance to the magical world? Voldemort left it hidden because it was of no further use to him.
He actually didn't know about the Deathly Hallows, he knew about the Elder Wand because Ollivander told him about it, but he never knew anything about the rest of the Deahtly Hallows, he turned the ring into a horcrux because he was "fond" to it or gave it certain value, so he then hid it where he first got it which was the Gaunts' hut, so no one would find it.
He knows he's dying, instead of being sad, he used this opportunity to make his death do something remarkable. You're a great man Dumbledore, always be remembered and forever stay in our hearts.
Voldy "ohhh it's a tiara put it on me put it on me put it on me" Penny "You look pretty" Voldemort "of course I do I'm a princess and this is my tiara"
Actually professor McGonagall helped Harry break a rule of school in first year! The letter Hagrid gave Harry said first years are not allowed their own broomstick although Harry owned one.
I think that professor McGonagall gave Harry the Nimbus because after she saw him catch the remembril she knew that he would be a great asset to the Gryffindor quidich team, and as head of house she wanted her house to have the best players.
Yes but in the books it was told by another teacher (forgot wich one) when draco try to rat on him for having a broom that harry had special dispensation
Tom had no clue what he was holding when he made the Gaunt Ring into a Horcrux!! Not to mention he was ignorant of the Peverell lore until it came time to hunt for the elder wand and at that time his only interest was getting his hands on it so he could beat Harry. Tom/Voldemort was so arrogant that he felt nothing could stop him so why put stock in a children’s tale.
I think he had Target fixation he was so intent on one thing he missed everything else like with Snape if he had taken just a couple of minutes to listen he would have realised that draco was the owner of the elder wand not Snape
Considering the ring/stone has the logo of the Deathly Hollows carved into it, I highly doubt he didn't know. Even if he wasn't aware at first, he 100% would have searched out what it represents, and learned about them/the power they potentially have, and recognized the stone. Riddle was all about learning anything and everything he can that would increase his power. I think its more he just didn't care, and thought himself already more powerful than to need to turn to legends. He wanted to create his own. He didn't need the Hallows to become the "master of death", he's already immortal due to the horcruxes. He already mastered death in his mind. He doesn't need the stone to resurrect anyone, because nobody is his equal in his mind, nor does he love anyone other than himself. He doesn't need the invisibility cloak, because after coming back, he has no need or want to hide. In the end, its kind of poetic how the man that believes himself above legends, was taken down by someone wielding the tools of legends
On the subject of horcruxes, I'm more curious about Tom Riddle's diary: where did he buy it at, his personal use of it and then making it into a horcrux?
The significance of that diary is that it proved a student named Tom Marvolo Riddle was the heir of slytherin. As Riddle himself discloses that he felt he it would not be safe to open the chamber of secrets again while he was still at school under the watch of Albus Dumbledore. Making the diary into a horcux would definitely prove to be useful as the piece of soul concealed inside the diary would be able to act of it's own accord and possess anybody who got emotionally attached to the diary like Ginny Weasley. Harry mentions that the owner must've been Muggle born to have purchased this diary in the muggle parts of london thus we can conclude that riddle may have purchased this during his trips to Diagon Alley while he was still a student. The diary has been and will be for me always the most curious horcrux. This is the best explanation I can offer.
Tanvir Singh I just wonder what Voldemort was writing in it before it became a horcrux. Dear Diary, Today some mudblood got killed by my new basilisk, it was great. Love, Tom
@@Sushigatana LOL Yeah I don't see Tom Riddle as the writing in a diary type. Especially somebody who grows up to constantly refer to himself in third person and call himself things like the most powerful, the most precious. Tom Riddle is easily the most interesting character in the books and the diary horcrux is the most curious one as we know Riddle was fond of trophies, but the diary is not a trophy.
The fact that he was already dying would have made it a little easier for Snape to fulfil his request to take his life. I can’t help feeling that he in some small way saw this curse as working with his plan.
He knew the ring was a Deathly Hallow just didn’t care about the power to speak with loved ones cause he was incapable of love and only cared about himself. Next video be about Limbo, the spirit realm where Harry saw Dumbledore and wizards go after death before becoming ghosts.
I feel like Tom riddle actually know since he is the most brilliant student from Hogwarts besides Dumbledore but I think he only knew about it after he returned back to Hogwarts. He tried to do research about the symbol on the ring, then he would try to bring his mother back but he only saw the faint image of her. Something probably happened during it that made him just didn't want to wear it anymore so he made it into a horcruxe. I am thinking he was probably disgust of his own mother foolishly ran away with a muggle, his father. His father then abandoned his mother. She died after gave birth to him in the orphanage without using magic to save herself. I think he probably questioned his mother about all these thoughts he had over the years. After knowing the truths, out of disgust he didn't want to wear it again but by putting a piece of soul in it shows Peverell brothers are his ancestors.
I don't he knew.. Voldemort primary personal mission was to evade death.... If he knew about resurrection stone then he would have known about deathly hallows and possessions of all three will make that person Master of Death... And already had one.. ..
I heard once that voldemort did know that it was the resurrection stone and that's why the curse affects whoever wears it. By defiling the stone with a horcrux, he essentially reversed the effects of the stone so that instead of resurrecting the dead it would cause the user to die. Apparently that's how most of the horcruxes would work. Because of the darkness in voldemort's soul and the dark magic used to create a horcrux, they would reverse the magical properties of the artifact to cause harm instead of invigorate the user.
@@Nikstar112 because the necklace didn't have magical properties relating to life and death. In fact it had no magical properties before it became a horcrux. The effect of each horcrux is different. Tom's diary (which previously had no magical properties) made Jinny open up her deepest thoughts feelings to it, giving it control of her mind. The ring caused a curse that would kill the wearer, instead of resurrecting the dead. That's what happened to Dumbledore, though he was powerful enough to hold off the curse for almost a year, it would've eventually killed him painfully. Which is why he asked Snape to kill him, so that he didn't have to suffer. Snape also gained Voldemort's trust by doing it. Slytherin's locket (which also had no prior powers) affected the moods of the wearer, making them irritable and quick to anger, which is why Ron left Harry and Hermione after his tantrum. The diadem of Ravenclaw was said to improve the intelligence of the wearer, the reversed properties caused by the horcrux would've made the wearer insane instead. The cup of Hufflepuff is said to have magical properties, but those are never mentioned and we never find out because nobody drinks from it. With the other two horcruxes being Harry and Naigini, which caused a sort of mental link between them due to them being living horcruxes instead of inanimate objects.
The physical pain inflicted was pittance compared to the emotional loss again that was felt. Dying is inevitable knowing when not it comes is to live. Regards Albus
Would be interesting to know how quickly he managed to apparate back to Hogwarts, as the curse obviously started to spread straight away. Snape said: "I could have made more if you just came back sooner", or something like that. Also, why there were no signs of the curse spreading during the whole sixth book? You would think that it gets more powerful everyday until the eventual death one year after. Dumbledore had only like two or three weeks to live, but there were absolutely no effects on him whatsoever. Yes, he was weak when he died, but that is all to the cave-potion. Note: this is before I've watched the video.
No I don't think that tom knew that he's in possession of the resurrection stone cause he had never had a loved one. So while in possession he had never seen anyone. 😊☺
The curse on the diary was also pretty devastating as Riddle got into the head of the newest author. As for Voldy's knowledge of the Resurrection Stone. I'm sure, once he found out what it was, wanted it as far from his person as he could get it as it embodied his deepest fear of death.
I don't think Tom Riddle knew about the Deathly Hallows as it seemed he just learnt about them when he asked Ollivander for the most powerful wand in existence. If young Tom Riddle had known about the Hallows, he would probably have tried to track down the Elder Wand. It would cement his status as the conqueror of Death, now wielding its weapon and ready to use it with murderous intent and would eliminate the threat of anyone using it against him. And about the ring, Snape strongly implied that destroying the ring was useless and my guess would be that once touched, the progression of the curse inside the victim can't be affected by the destruction of the ring. Dumbledore survived as long as he did, because of his own magical prowess and Snape's extensive knowledge of the Dark Arts. But I do wonder: seeing how Snape stated that Dumbledore should have recognized immediately that the ring was cursed, did Snape recognized it as a Horcrux or at least suspected it to be?
Curses aren't really a blood thing, they infect the soul itself - so cutting off the hand would do nothing, it'd just slowly appear over time as if the hand was still there
@@metadude1234 *cuts hand off* GimpedLoco : the curse infects the soul not, cutting the hand won't do anyting the hand : " ... but you didn't have to cut me off" -(Gotye - somebody i used to know)
Mattias yeah, it’s getting pretty pathetic lately. His content is usually solid but his intros are getting longer along with adding in another 2 minutes for his sponsor plug....and then a minute at the end with his Instagram and thank you’s.... therefore the actual good stuff has gotten so damn short.
Though another good point to take under consideration would be the fact that Voldemort gave Peter Pettigrew a new hand in the Goblet of Fire. So, what’s saying that Dumbledore couldn’t have done the same thing preventing the curse from killing him in the first place as it clearly shows in the movie that only his hand as actually been affected from the dark magic placed upon the horcruxe.
In theory yes but remember at that point Dumbledore knew that Malfoy had been ordered to kill him. He wanted to spare Draco the act of murder that's why he planned to have Snape do it. He was already a dead man so there was no point in cutting his hand off since he planned on the Elder Wand to die with him.
@@paradygmshift7826 Yes, true that would explain why he didn’t try harder to prevent the curse from killing him. I totally forgot about that fact when writing the comment however the actions then taken from Dumbledore can be seen more of a sacrifice. This makes me think that J.K Rowling could of thought more about his death as the curse sort of gives reason to why Snape should kill him rather than the fact if he really wanted to he could of bypassed the effects like mentioned before by giving himself a new hand therefore making his actions in both the books and movies more heroic than he is actually given credit for. It can also be argued that this would also make his sacrifice greater then Lily's due to the fact she gave her life for her son where's Dumbledore would be doing it for a student.
@@vamshivijaykumar5111Yes it can be believed that dark magic was involved when Voldemort gave Wormtail his hand in the Goblet of fire though this still doesn't justify for me why Dumbledore wouldn't be able to give himself his own hand.Due to the fact he is the most powerful wizard in the series along with it also be proven that his knowledge of the dark arts is also very good from the time he spent practicing dark magic when with Grindelwald.
He knew he would have to sacrifice himself to Snape because Moufoy wouldn't have it in him to kill Dumbledore, he knew that Voldimort would think snape the owner. but he was disarmed by Moufoy...so the Elderwand would belong to Moufoy who Dumbledore knew Harry would revenge against moufoy so when Harry went to die to Voldimort the Elderwand would belong to Harry and the Elder wand will not kill it's master. But instead kill the fragment of soul within him ending the Horocruxification of Harry and leaving only the snake as a horocrux which when the last horrocrux died so would Voldimort. Harry only assisted in the killing in the end... Dumbledore didn't save his hand because he had to make the sacrifice for his plan to work. Another thing to think about... The avadakadabra curse... The curse of death... Could have killed all the horocruxes without destroying the containers... Huh think about it.... :)
I'm not sure that amputating his hand would have stopped the curse since it had already started to spred around his body when Snape gave him the potion
He never knew love. The stone brings back loved ones. He is incapable of understanding how it worked, even if he sensed its magical properties, he was unable to wield it.
I wouldn't be surprised that the moment Tom Riddle put the ring on his finger and saw his mother Meropé for the first time was when he knew what the power of the ring could truly do for his cause
@@tbums8139 I know she only took it from Mundungus AFTER book five (he found it in 12 Grimauld Square... After Sirius died, he started stealing stuff there and illegally selling them - black market style. He gave her the locket to avoid being arrested. He tells the golden trio about it in book seven, when Kreatur and Dobby force him to.)
How ironic that the Gaunts, a family so lacking in love, were in possession of the Resurrection Stone for centuries. Probably for the best, given that it's a rock that wants to kill you.
Hi! I do watch SCB videos, but I've actually thought that the Resurrection Stone was trying to kill people since I read about the Night Stone in the Sword of Truth books and noticed the similarities between the two rocks.
@@JonPITBZN except Merope she was the only one who didn’t lack love she carried about Tom Riddle Sr and had love for him and probably for her son too But I don’t think the stone could bring the dead ones back because when the second brother lost his fiancee and wanted to get her back it wasn’t the same so he ended with taking his own life maybe it only showed a reflection of the loved ones they knew that they had lost just like when Dumbledore wanted to see his sister Ariana again but he couldn’t bring her back
If Tom knew that the stone on the ring was the resurrection stone he would've kept it and figure out a way to use its powers to remain immortal. There must be a way to trick Death into that... Great videos by the way, keep going. :)
I'm pretty sure Voldemort knew the true nature of the ring since he knew enough about the deathly hallows to seek out the elder wand. I don't think he had any interest in using the stone though because he probably wanted to distance himself from anything dealing with the after life because of his obsession with immortality. A deeper reason he probably discarded the ring once he learned what the stone could do is because he would come face to face with the realization that if his Horcruxes did somehow get destroyed his soul would be so beyond repair that even the resurrection stone probably wouldn't be able to summon him, he would be nothing and be locked away and cut off for eternity. I know it's far fetched but at some point he must have considered even for a moment what would happen to him if someone was able to kill him especially after horcruxes started being destroyed.
Voldemort didn't seek out the Elder wand until Olivander told him about it when Voldemort was angry about the failure of first his own wand, znd then Malfoy's to kill Harry. Ollivander was scared, and so told his captor what he'd thought was a fairy tale. Most wizards considered the Deathly Hollows to be a fairy tale for kids, so Voldemort would have originally thought them a waste of time, until he realized he'd need a wand of power to defeat Harry.
Dean, I've always wondered about this. Thanks for making this video. I think that Tom Riddle probably knew about the deathly hallows, but was only interested in the eLder Wand. THe stone had no significance to him as there was no one he truly wanted to bring back from the dead. I also feel the invisibility cloak didn't mean anything to him either because he was just interested in immortality. Again, another wonderful video. Dolores
I was just wondering if it was a mistake in "Order of The Phoenix" just before, he's killed, Sirious compliments Harry for disarming someone, and says "nice one, James".
6:09 Had Voldemort known it was the Resurrection Stone and used it he'd have probably told the spirit of his mother "Mother you were so weak. I have become immortal yet despite being related to Salazar Slytherin himself you died giving birth to me. Pathetic." I think he'd respect Marvolo the most and say "I hope you're proud grandfather. I'm ridding the world of those filthy Muggles like you would have wanted." To Morfin he'd probably say "Such a disappointment you were uncle. A disgusting lunatic fit only to take the blame for one of my crimes."
None if those people would have shown up if he held the stone. No one would have shown up. He never loved anyone, and none of them had any kind of impact on his life. Harry loved all the people that showed up when he held onto the stone.
From a medical viewpoint, it would seem like some form of necrosis which in this case seems to be leading to rapid decay of living flesh due to a failure of cellular deterioration meaning his entire body is slowly decaying. If that is the case he would have died eventually had he not died in book six.
"But even if he had known about them, Harry, I doubt that he would have been interested in any except the first. He would not think that he needed the Cloak, and, as for the stone, whom would he want to bring back from the dead? He fears the dead. He does not love." -Albus Dumbledore, _Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows_
I think he was aware that he had the stone but he put the curse on the ring because it was his horcrux so no one would really suspect it. He stopped wearing it because it was a horcrux and if someone killed him (Take note:He was aware of death just he feared it) they could take it and perhaps destroy it , this is why he was smart.
@@srstriker6420 yeah. Hed have to. The whole reason harry lived with the dursleys was because of the blood protection he gained from lillys death. He could live with sirius and the weasleys because their houses were under the fidelus charm, but over time not living with the dursleys wouldve made him vulnerable to Voldemort while at school. If someone reported the dursleys to CPS then Dumbledore would sabotage it to keep him there If someone reported them and CPS took him away and Dumbledore did nothing to stop them then harry would either get emancipated or hed be moved to a foster home. Hed lack protection entirely and Voldemort would eventually kill him
Stopreadingmyusername well that’s what I want to see because what if someone did it because he or she was doing the right because Harry is being raised by assholes ,so if the police and the child welfare came like how Steven Spielberg and George Lucas were arrested in South Park so is went to trail that they will go to jail or a mental hospital because no one is going to believe them and if Harry was taken in by a nice couple that might allow him to go to howarts while the couple think it’s a boarding school and they’ll end up with their memories wiped out.
I believe he knew but had no reason to use it. He had just killed his muggle father and knew his mother was basically a squib. It was the first step in conquering death by gaining possession of a deathly hollow. He was terrified of death and dead people. Which played a role in why he chose the dead to protect one of his horcrux's in the lake inside the cave. They terrified him, which he assumed would terrify others. His fear of death would justify altering the ring because it would also prevent others from using it on the small chance it was found. It's possible he was ignorant of what he possessed but even if he had known, his decision would have been exactly the same. He didn't need the deathly hollows to conquer death when he had figured out how to make a horcrux, but it would prevent his enemies from obtaining them and using it against him. The only one he truly wanted to use was the elder wand. Going invisible was something he could already accomplish, he was scared of the dead, so the wand is the only thing he'd be interested in. Finding out Dumbledore had it was probably very satisfying, in Tom's eyes, it would explain why Dumbledore always bested him. Which would stroke his egotistic personality.
The Locket of Slytherin was originally said to give the wearer immense ambition and sense of self. Voldemort cursed it to take these traits away. The Diadem of Ravenclaw originally gave the wearer immense wisdom and knowledge. Voldemort cursed it to ensure the wearer would learn too much, and end their own life willingly. The Cup of Hufflepuff originally never emptied, and would provide comfort and abundance to anyone who drank from it. Voldemort cursed it to deliver an intense poison, akin to that of Basilisk venom, to the drinker. The only House Artefact that remained clean was the Sword of Gryffindor, a weapon that Voldemort was too arrogant to realise would result in his downfall. Had he chosen to make the Sword into its own Horcrux, there would've been no way to destroy the rest of them besides Basilisk venom, which probably would've slowed down Harry and his friends in their pursuit. Edit: These are just my theories about the House Artefacts, I can't provide sources.
Maybe she did, and it just wasn't that noticeable since she was already so awful, all the time! She was said to have always been insecure about her half blood status, and about her family not exactly being a prestigious one. Many in the ministry knew better than to voice doubt regarding her claims of being from a fine old pure blood family. If I recall correctly? It has been some time since I've read the books!
jigthh i just finished all the books. Literally yesterday. I did not read anything about it making her meaner. I have read on pottermore I think, that it was said that she was never under the imperius curse. She was simply that awful naturally. She never had any friends in school because she was odious and cruel, even as a kid.
It never ceases to amaze me how people can expend so much time and effort theorizing and obsessing over fictional matters that have absolutely no meaningful significance whatsoever. Imagine the kind of world we would live in if a fraction of that energy were directed towards solving real problems.
I'm sure he must have known about the ring/stone, because he seems too calculated to not have known. I think maybe he was seeking to use it to create more powerful Inferi or something else along those lines. But I could be completely off base with that....
I wouldn’t call Dumbledore weak for using the resurrection stone. The weakness is relying on it repeatedly. I would just use it to talk to historical figures
No snape contained it in his hand buying him a little time like an year or so he would have died anyway. I think if he tried something like cutting his hand the spell that snape used to contain it will no longer work and it would spread throughout the body
I was asking myself the same....one of the spells Snape invented could be very useful for cutting of a hand (or even an arm if neccessary....sectum sempra. The question is: Would the spell be kept in the cut of hand or would the spell again attack Dumbledore.
The ring and the curse is the reason I believe that Riddle becomes the owner of the Elder Wand. SuperCarlinBrothers created a video where they think that Riddle is the owner essentially because he killed Gregorovitch. In short, their theory claims that the switching of allegiances of the Elder Wand is questionable. Such as Harry disarming Draco when Draco didn't even have the Elder Wand in his possession and this switches the allegiance from Draco to Harry. Furthermore, they question Draco's ownership of the wand as Albus planned to be defeated. It can be put forward that Albus planned to be defeated by Severus and not Draco. Although, eventhough Draco surprised Albus he did allow himself to be disarmed as it was part of the plan to be killed by Severus. Ultimately, they ascertain that Albus never held ownership of the Elder Wand as they determine that Gregorovitch was still the owner as Gellert simply stole the wand and so was never the true master either. So if you believe that ownership does not switch with simply disarming and theft then it looks as if Riddle is the owner in this scenario. However, if you do accept the book lore of the Elder Wand sensing defeats of owners through theft and disarmament then I believe that Riddle still becomes master. An exmaple of the Elder Wand sensing the owner's defeat is that Draco disarmed Albus and that eventhough Darco does not hold possession of the Elder Wand he still loses the allegiance of the wand as he is disarmed by Harry whilst using another wand. It is worth noting that the Elder Wand is not even present during this confrontation. So I argue that if you believe this is how ownership is determined then my assertion is even more likely. This is because the Elder Wand is present the moment Albus places the ring upon his finger. Riddle cursed the ring. And so the instance Albus is afflicted by the curse. He is defeated. Thus, Riddle becomes the master of the Elder Wand from the wand's point of view, just as theft or disarmament defeats the opponent, placing a fatal curse defeats them also. Especially, a fatal curse that drives the individual to a self sacrificial plan. This is because once a person has been stolen from or disarmed they can still defeat the opponent. So just because Albus still has time to live does not mean he has been defeated. This is because the Elder Wand switches allegiance when the opponents (Gregorovitch and Draco) still have time to live. So if they lose their ownership of the Elder Wand in those scenarios then Albus should too. Moreover, Albus creates his sacrificial plan because he has been cursed. Because his life is now on a timer. Because he has already been defeated by Riddle. He is not forced to make the plan but the reason he does is because he is cursed. This means Riddle defeats Albus and Riddle kills him. He sacrifices himself because of Riddle. Now when Albus is cursed he still could win ownership back (technically but not realistically) as he would just have to defeat Riddle before he dies. So Riddle becomes the Master of the Elder Wand the moment Albus is cursed as he has caused the master of the Elder Wand to be defeated. He begins to plan his own defeat afterwards but is ultimately killed by Riddle as his curse is the reason for his sacrificial plan.
I think your theory about the curse in Dumbledore's hand is on point. However, just to keep it interesting... if this curse in the ring is so instant, why was the diary less so? It affected Ginny but not Harry. Genuine question that I have been wondering for years.
He never killed his sister a century ago. Him and Grinderwald had their dual and killed her in like the 1930s. And Harry Potter was set in the 1990s. So it would have been 60yrs not a century.
IDEA FOR A VIDEO- in the Chamber of Secrets when Harry accidentally ends up in Knockturn Alley after using the floo powder, it mentions Knockturn Alley sold lots of scary dark magic items- including poisonous candles. Very intriguing! I have no idea what their purpose could have been, or what kind of things Dark Wizards may have done with them- that'd make a great video!
One correction, the whole ring, including the stone, were the horcrux. When Harry gets a good look at it, it is the stone which has been struck by the Sword of Gryffindor (not the ring) and has a deep crack in it. So Cadmus Peverell (or Death if you believe the tale) created an enchanted item that survived severe physical damage and still functioned as intended . It makes you wonder what the Elder Wand, and cloak could have survived and still functioned.
I think Tom did know he had the resurrection stone. He knew of the hallows, and likely the symbol associated with them. They just (and to quote you) went against everything Voldemort stood for. He didn't want that artifact, nor the cloak. Only the wand.
Hi everyone. I think Tom Riddle knew what the stone was, but he simply didn't care. Because he could not love an even nearly understand love. Besides he thought everyone who died were loosers. So what's the point of bringing them back🤷.
Had Voldemort known that the curse he'd put on the Resurrection Stone to protect his soul inside it was killing Dumbledore he'd have left him to die a slow painful death and not thought up the "force Draco to kill Dumbledore to punish Lucius for getting the diary Horcrux destroyed in Chamber of Secrets and not getting the prophecy in Order of the Phoenix" plan.
Im not well but hope ur well dean but at least i didnt have to go to school all week mental to think a year or two ago youtube tried to ban u and that was a low point for both of us (i lost my best friend) but we're both still here I was suicidal but when u were back i was back

Eat some chocolate, and fight off those dementors....things will get better.
I found a possible plot hole. The unforgivable curses require malicious intent. So how is it Snape successfully killed Dumbledore with one? He quite obviously didn't have malicious intent there. I'm thinking it didn't work so Dumbledore purposefully fell back out of the window and died hitting the ground not from the killing curse.
I believe that the curse is exactly like the curse Ginny had on her. It drains life from the person who interacts with it in a specific way, and slowly rebuilds a version of Tom Riddle. It might actually have been the same with the locket, which is why it was slowly corrupting it’s wearer.
I feel he would've known it was a resurrection stone. We have to remember that he read extensively. But then he had no loved one. Whom would he call? And he hated death. It definitely wasn't useful to him.
quick question! is grindewald a STAVE/STAFF wizard main since he's from durmstang? we saw him in the movies weilding wand so technically he uses wands as main. but since in the fantastic beast movies they fought american aurors. can grindewald also do.. wandless magic?
I have a theory Hermione’s parents are actually Aragog and they are actually puteblood wizards that are in the bloodline of the Dumbledores 9 LIKES!! I HAVE MOTE THAN ONE!
Dumbledore answers you last question in the books. He said that he doubts Voldemort knew about it and even if he did, he would only ever care about wand. He fears the dead.
I would have loved to see the other curses placed on the Cup and the Diadem! That could have been awesome, for the Cup of course it would turn the liquid poured into a poison or something similar to the Drink of Despair to torture the drinker. For the Diadem I think than rather than bringing knowledge and wisdom it would maybe bring madness and violence to the wearer, to get more knowledge because of the arrogance and sense of superiority it would bring...It was a very interesting video Dean and the interpretation of Marvolo Gaunt was just on point 👌🏻😄
One big counter argument about voldemort having no use for the resurrection stone.... He feared death, if he'd have know what he had he could have just worn the ring and told his closest followers that in the event of his death that they could bring him back with his ring. Which opens up implications of a whole other level, we know how it goes for regular people brought back. Let alone someone like voldemort.
I think Tom Riddle the boy/man whom became Lord Voldemort knew the resurrection stone was in the ring but had no interest in it because their was nobody he wanted to bring back from the dead in fact the only Deathly Hallow Voldemort was interested in was the elder wand.
Dumbledore had secret lessons with Harry, showing him the memories of young Tom Riddle , and the exact number of horcruxes he made. In doing this, Dumbledore became Harry’s defence against the dark arts teacher. Voldemort was the embodiment of the dark arts, and Harry had to defend himself by destroying the Horcruxes. But, the post of defence against the dark arts is cursed as we know, and usually the teacher’s die, or meet their worst nightmare at the end of that year (lockhart wiping his own memory). Dumbledore’s worst nightmare happened at the end of the 6th book for several reasons: 1) He found all the Deathly Hallows (reminding him of his younger years) 2) He was given a year to live 3) He found out Voldemort made at least 6 Horcruxes 4) Hogwarts was invaded by Death Eaters 5) Draco disarmed him before Snape could kill him (but it worked out anyway) 6) He died before being able to help locate the rest of the hallows, and Harry wouldn’t be able to return for a 7th year at Hogwarts 7) He might have found a way to wait in limbo to meet Harry, but that meant waiting up to a year or year(s) for him. He died after a year of teaching harry against the darkest of all dark arts, and all his worst fears were realized. Until he met Harry in limbo, and knew everything would be ok, and moved on.
Q: A: No I do not think he had a clue-just a proof of blood line to him early on-and of course a way to keep himself immortal, but later on he may have started to piece it all together but his head was so messed up, not understanding the concepts of love-just power-he could not actually have a true base of loyalty from the death eaters- except from the one who truly loved him (B.L.) not those in fear and he had no love for them- they were just tools to his means to an end
Remember, Hermine and Harry hadn't a Wizarding upbringing while Ron did, he asked them if they ever heard of certain Wizarding fairytales and they didn't. Tom had a muggle upbringing as well, he didn't know about the Deathly Hallows. I don't think he knew what the stone did.
I don't think Tom Riddle knew of the Hallows or that the ring was set with the resurrection stone. Being raised in a Muggle orphanage, he wouldn't be familiar with the story, and I don't think he would have bothered to read what would be considered children's stories. I also think that even if he had known, he wouldn't have wanted to use it anyway, never having lost someone he loved, as he'd never loved anyone.
In relation to what he said at 8:00, if you look closely when the stone is coming out of the golden snitch, the entire ring is inside of it and the stone separates and floats up to harry
Tom feared death, he wanted to live forever as you said, so having an artifact that can bring back the dead would terrify him beyond imagination. so i think no, he didn't know he had the resurrection stone all this time.
One of my biggest problems with the Half-Blood Prince is the amount of focus on teen romance and not focusing on Tom Riddle
THIS.
I'd have swapped the awkward "take a bite of this cookie" for the flashback of Voldemorts family anyday
Ayden Nichols not to mention that we should’ve had the fight in Hogwarts as well, like in the book
How could you say something so bold yet so right😳
@@aydennichols3055 You said it!
I have always had a theory that Tom Riddle did indeed know it was the Resurrection Stone. And he used it to talk to his ancestors Salazar Slitherin; and that’s how he discovered the chamber of secrets. But I do agree that he lost interest in its powers after that because everyone who is dead in his life was worthless to him.
If he knew about resurrection stone... Then he would have known about deathly hallows... He would have gone after deathly hallows and become master of death(had one of three) .... Instead of creating horcruxes.... I think he didn't know....
The resurrection stone brings loved ones from the dead, not relatives. You have to love the person who you are resurrecting. Tom Riddle never knew love. The stone would not, and did not, work for him. He is incapable of understanding how it works. I assume he was never aware of its uses but sensed its magical properties.
@@grantlogan9207 I don't think that's the case. Because when Dumbledore was talking to Harry about it he dismisses it by saying who would he "Want to bring back" not who "could he bring back". I'm convinced that he would "want" to bring back his prized ancestor, but because the stone lures you to death, I bet he became terrified of it after using.
@@dylanruby6687 there is no point of him bringing back an ancestor. he alone is the most powerful at his time according to him. as for the basilisk, he probably heard it talk. like he said in his memory, "they come to me, whisper things."
@@dylanruby6687 I see where you draw your conclusion, however I dont believe thats how the stone works. "Want" is subjective in both of our cases, meaning just because you want something, does not mean your heart desires or loves it. I.e money, everyone wants money, but it is not necessarily a desire of your heart. Our only use we see is with Harry, other than the orginal use, but both instances brought back people they loved and knew in their hearts. If it was just who you wanted, i believe we wiuld have seen more individuals appear for Harry, for instance Dumbledore, maybe Cedric, maybe Snape at that point, maybe Dobby if thats even an option. Lol im not saying youre wrong, you could be right, this is just how i see it.

Stephanie see, people like you and me, either call ourselves potter heads or super fans, as we know every bit of movies, books, spinoff books, fan movies, fan theories, internet conspiracies about hp and what not. It's just a kinda satisfactory thing for us. Where as Rowling who earned a fortune out of these books movies and merchandise stuff, is bathing in gold coins.

Thanks for the comment though
Just read book
@@muhammadwaqarularfeen yeah you're trying to propose her...🤣🤣🤣🤣‼️
Stephanie Smith-Waterman Couldn’t agree with you more.
I think it is more likely than not Tom Riddle knew about the Legend of the Hallows. He just didn’t care about them very much besides the Wand.
Did he know he possessed the stone? Maybe, if he knew the sign of the Hallows. And studied the RS long enough to figure out the ring held no ordinary gem.
So did he know? Yes, I think probably. Just did not care.
Voldemort knew about the story of the story of the Elder wand without really knowing or caring about the Deathly Hallows, but considering he never looked for it, he was just mildly interested in the Elder wand.
...yeah
I think he knew about them, it's just that he was immortal now so the stone was practacly useless to him
Maybe he knew but hid it because of Grindelwald. Remember that Voldemort is a competitor of Grindelwald. He strongly suspected/knew Grindelwald had the Elder Wand. Grindelwald's plan was to collect all three would have been common knowledge at the time. In 1943, Grindelwald was at the height of his power. What better way to knock Grindelwald out of the equation than by hiding the ring in a place of virtually no significance to the magical world? Voldemort left it hidden because it was of no further use to him.
He actually didn't know about the Deathly Hallows, he knew about the Elder Wand because Ollivander told him about it, but he never knew anything about the rest of the Deahtly Hallows, he turned the ring into a horcrux because he was "fond" to it or gave it certain value, so he then hid it where he first got it which was the Gaunts' hut, so no one would find it.
He knows he's dying, instead of being sad, he used this opportunity to make his death do something remarkable. You're a great man Dumbledore, always be remembered and forever stay in our hearts.
He was british to the end and lived though both wars in my opinion he could be buryed with the Union flag

Clever, Tom. Impressive.
Very. Much. Alive.
How was the ring destroyed
Actually professor McGonagall helped Harry break a rule of school in first year!
The letter Hagrid gave Harry said first years are not allowed their own broomstick although Harry owned one.
I believe Dumbledore gave special permission, so the rule was bent for Harry not specifically broken.
@@Stark-Raving anything for the chosen captain or the boy who scored or what ever they call him now
I think that professor McGonagall gave Harry the Nimbus because after she saw him catch the remembril she knew that he would be a great asset to the Gryffindor quidich team, and as head of house she wanted her house to have the best players.
Yes but in the books it was told by another teacher (forgot wich one) when draco try to rat on him for having a broom that harry had special dispensation
Still rules are rules
Tom had no clue what he was holding when he made the Gaunt Ring into a Horcrux!! Not to mention he was ignorant of the Peverell lore until it came time to hunt for the elder wand and at that time his only interest was getting his hands on it so he could beat Harry. Tom/Voldemort was so arrogant that he felt nothing could stop him so why put stock in a children’s tale.
I think he had Target fixation he was so intent on one thing he missed everything else like with Snape if he had taken just a couple of minutes to listen he would have realised that draco was the owner of the elder wand not Snape
Considering the ring/stone has the logo of the Deathly Hollows carved into it, I highly doubt he didn't know. Even if he wasn't aware at first, he 100% would have searched out what it represents, and learned about them/the power they potentially have, and recognized the stone. Riddle was all about learning anything and everything he can that would increase his power.
I think its more he just didn't care, and thought himself already more powerful than to need to turn to legends. He wanted to create his own. He didn't need the Hallows to become the "master of death", he's already immortal due to the horcruxes. He already mastered death in his mind. He doesn't need the stone to resurrect anyone, because nobody is his equal in his mind, nor does he love anyone other than himself. He doesn't need the invisibility cloak, because after coming back, he has no need or want to hide.
In the end, its kind of poetic how the man that believes himself above legends, was taken down by someone wielding the tools of legends
On the subject of horcruxes, I'm more curious about Tom Riddle's diary: where did he buy it at, his personal use of it and then making it into a horcrux?
The significance of that diary is that it proved a student named Tom Marvolo Riddle was the heir of slytherin. As Riddle himself discloses that he felt he it would not be safe to open the chamber of secrets again while he was still at school under the watch of Albus Dumbledore. Making the diary into a horcux would definitely prove to be useful as the piece of soul concealed inside the diary would be able to act of it's own accord and possess anybody who got emotionally attached to the diary like Ginny Weasley. Harry mentions that the owner must've been Muggle born to have purchased this diary in the muggle parts of london thus we can conclude that riddle may have purchased this during his trips to Diagon Alley while he was still a student. The diary has been and will be for me always the most curious horcrux. This is the best explanation I can offer.
Tanvir Singh I just wonder what Voldemort was writing in it before it became a horcrux.
Dear Diary,
Today some mudblood got killed by my new basilisk, it was great.
Love, Tom
@@Sushigatana LOL
Yeah I don't see Tom Riddle as the writing in a diary type. Especially somebody who grows up to constantly refer to himself in third person and call himself things like the most powerful, the most precious.
Tom Riddle is easily the most interesting character in the books and the diary horcrux is the most curious one as we know Riddle was fond of trophies, but the diary is not a trophy.
Tanvir Singh True, he problably just used it as a notebook for all his evil plans.
i don't remember it completely but i'm pretty sure in the book the origin of the diary explained.
The fact that he was already dying would have made it a little easier for Snape to fulfil his request to take his life. I can’t help feeling that he in some small way saw this curse as working with his plan.
He knew the ring was a Deathly Hallow just didn’t care about the power to speak with loved ones cause he was incapable of love and only cared about himself.
Next video be about Limbo, the spirit realm where Harry saw Dumbledore and wizards go after death before becoming ghosts.
Who did Dumbledore cared about other people more than he did himself
Josh Sims his parents and his sister.
@@joshsims3078 He cared about his students as well. Voldemort didn't care about anyone
I feel like Tom riddle actually know since he is the most brilliant student from Hogwarts besides Dumbledore but I think he only knew about it after he returned back to Hogwarts. He tried to do research about the symbol on the ring, then he would try to bring his mother back but he only saw the faint image of her. Something probably happened during it that made him just didn't want to wear it anymore so he made it into a horcruxe. I am thinking he was probably disgust of his own mother foolishly ran away with a muggle, his father. His father then abandoned his mother. She died after gave birth to him in the orphanage without using magic to save herself. I think he probably questioned his mother about all these thoughts he had over the years. After knowing the truths, out of disgust he didn't want to wear it again but by putting a piece of soul in it shows Peverell brothers are his ancestors.
I don't he knew.. Voldemort primary personal mission was to evade death.... If he knew about resurrection stone then he would have known about deathly hallows and possessions of all three will make that person Master of Death... And already had one.. ..
I think he would at least wanted to speak to his uncle
Voldemort does not know love, he can not wield the stone. It would never work for him, even if he tried. He is incable of understanding how it works.
I heard once that voldemort did know that it was the resurrection stone and that's why the curse affects whoever wears it.
By defiling the stone with a horcrux, he essentially reversed the effects of the stone so that instead of resurrecting the dead it would cause the user to die. Apparently that's how most of the horcruxes would work. Because of the darkness in voldemort's soul and the dark magic used to create a horcrux, they would reverse the magical properties of the artifact to cause harm instead of invigorate the user.
How did Hermione, Harry and Ron survive when they wore one of the horcruxes then?
@@Nikstar112 because the necklace didn't have magical properties relating to life and death. In fact it had no magical properties before it became a horcrux.
The effect of each horcrux is different.
Tom's diary (which previously had no magical properties) made Jinny open up her deepest thoughts feelings to it, giving it control of her mind.
The ring caused a curse that would kill the wearer, instead of resurrecting the dead. That's what happened to Dumbledore, though he was powerful enough to hold off the curse for almost a year, it would've eventually killed him painfully. Which is why he asked Snape to kill him, so that he didn't have to suffer. Snape also gained Voldemort's trust by doing it.
Slytherin's locket (which also had no prior powers) affected the moods of the wearer, making them irritable and quick to anger, which is why Ron left Harry and Hermione after his tantrum.
The diadem of Ravenclaw was said to improve the intelligence of the wearer, the reversed properties caused by the horcrux would've made the wearer insane instead.
The cup of Hufflepuff is said to have magical properties, but those are never mentioned and we never find out because nobody drinks from it.
With the other two horcruxes being Harry and Naigini, which caused a sort of mental link between them due to them being living horcruxes instead of inanimate objects.
Late reply but didn't he state it was the band of the ring not the stone itself
Extremely late on this but the ring itself is the horcrux not the stone. Dumbledore stated he destroyed the horcrux but the stone was still intact.
What if instead of killing u. The ring transforms the user into a inferi.
The physical pain inflicted was pittance compared to the emotional loss again that was felt. Dying is inevitable knowing when not it comes is to live.
Regards Albus
Please explain the last sentence
Would be interesting to know how quickly he managed to apparate back to Hogwarts, as the curse obviously started to spread straight away. Snape said: "I could have made more if you just came back sooner", or something like that.
Also, why there were no signs of the curse spreading during the whole sixth book? You would think that it gets more powerful everyday until the eventual death one year after.
Dumbledore had only like two or three weeks to live, but there were absolutely no effects on him whatsoever. Yes, he was weak when he died, but that is all to the cave-potion.
Note: this is before I've watched the video.
Master snape was juicing him up so it wouldn't spread
No I don't think that tom knew that he's in possession of the resurrection stone cause he had never had a loved one. So while in possession he had never seen anyone. 😊☺
The curse on the diary was also pretty devastating as Riddle got into the head of the newest author.
As for Voldy's knowledge of the Resurrection Stone. I'm sure, once he found out what it was, wanted it as far from his person as he could get it as it embodied his deepest fear of death.
I don't think Tom Riddle knew about the Deathly Hallows as it seemed he just learnt about them when he asked Ollivander for the most powerful wand in existence. If young Tom Riddle had known about the Hallows, he would probably have tried to track down the Elder Wand. It would cement his status as the conqueror of Death, now wielding its weapon and ready to use it with murderous intent and would eliminate the threat of anyone using it against him.
And about the ring, Snape strongly implied that destroying the ring was useless and my guess would be that once touched, the progression of the curse inside the victim can't be affected by the destruction of the ring. Dumbledore survived as long as he did, because of his own magical prowess and Snape's extensive knowledge of the Dark Arts. But I do wonder: seeing how Snape stated that Dumbledore should have recognized immediately that the ring was cursed, did Snape recognized it as a Horcrux or at least suspected it to be?
Why couldn’t he just cut his hand off above the wrist i’ve always wondered if that would’ve stopped the curse
How did I never think of it...
Curses aren't really a blood thing, they infect the soul itself - so cutting off the hand would do nothing, it'd just slowly appear over time as if the hand was still there
@@metadude1234 how do we know that?
@@metadude1234 *cuts hand off*
GimpedLoco : the curse infects the soul not, cutting the hand won't do anyting

Can i just point out that dean has perfected the art of making 10 min videos
well, you do know why they have to be 10 minutes right?.....
Tritian yeah obviously, im just making a point of how consistently the videos are like 10:02 or 10:01 min long
Mattias yeah, it’s getting pretty pathetic lately. His content is usually solid but his intros are getting longer along with adding in another 2 minutes for his sponsor plug....and then a minute at the end with his Instagram and thank you’s.... therefore the actual good stuff has gotten so damn short.
I would have just cut my hand off, since he had contained it to his hand shouldn't that have worked
Though another good point to take under consideration would be the fact that Voldemort gave Peter Pettigrew a new hand in the Goblet of Fire. So, what’s saying that Dumbledore couldn’t have done the same thing preventing the curse from killing him in the first place as it clearly shows in the movie that only his hand as actually been affected from the dark magic placed upon the horcruxe.
In theory yes but remember at that point Dumbledore knew that Malfoy had been ordered to kill him. He wanted to spare Draco the act of murder that's why he planned to have Snape do it. He was already a dead man so there was no point in cutting his hand off since he planned on the Elder Wand to die with him.
@@paradygmshift7826 Yes, true that would explain why he didn’t try harder to prevent the curse from killing him. I totally forgot about that fact when writing the comment however the actions then taken from Dumbledore can be seen more of a sacrifice. This makes me think that J.K Rowling could of thought more about his death as the curse sort of gives reason to why Snape should kill him rather than the fact if he really wanted to he could of bypassed the effects like mentioned before by giving himself a new hand therefore making his actions in both the books and movies more heroic than he is actually given credit for. It can also be argued that this would also make his sacrifice greater then Lily's due to the fact she gave her life for her son where's Dumbledore would be doing it for a student.
xninjadarkness wasn’t that rat’s hand made out of dark magic
@@vamshivijaykumar5111Yes it can be believed that dark magic was involved when Voldemort gave Wormtail his hand in the Goblet of fire though this still doesn't justify for me why Dumbledore wouldn't be able to give himself his own hand.Due to the fact he is the most powerful wizard in the series along with it also be proven that his knowledge of the dark arts is also very good from the time he spent practicing dark magic when with Grindelwald.
Why doesn’t Dumbledore just amputate the hand and make a silver one like what Voldemort did to worm tail
He knew he would have to sacrifice himself to Snape because Moufoy wouldn't have it in him to kill Dumbledore, he knew that Voldimort would think snape the owner. but he was disarmed by Moufoy...so the Elderwand would belong to Moufoy who Dumbledore knew Harry would revenge against moufoy so when Harry went to die to Voldimort the Elderwand would belong to Harry and the Elder wand will not kill it's master. But instead kill the fragment of soul within him ending the Horocruxification of Harry and leaving only the snake as a horocrux which when the last horrocrux died so would Voldimort. Harry only assisted in the killing in the end... Dumbledore didn't save his hand because he had to make the sacrifice for his plan to work. Another thing to think about... The avadakadabra curse... The curse of death... Could have killed all the horocruxes without destroying the containers... Huh think about it.... :)
Cody James Singleton that has nothing to do with what he asked.
I'm not sure that amputating his hand would have stopped the curse since it had already started to spred around his body when Snape gave him the potion
I guess you can say it’s like mold bread, just because you cut off the mold, doesn’t mean all of the mold was purged from the bread
Cody James Singleton you mean MALFOY?????
Edit: damn, how do you misspell so many HP words? Horcruxes, Voldemort, Malfoy, I mean damn.
Tom Riddle never knew what was in The Ring he would have kept it safe and Dumbledore don't get me started with that man
He never knew love. The stone brings back loved ones. He is incapable of understanding how it worked, even if he sensed its magical properties, he was unable to wield it.

But I don’t think the stone could bring the dead ones back because when the second brother lost his fiancee and wanted to get her back it wasn’t the same so he ended with taking his own life maybe it only showed a reflection of the loved ones they knew that they had lost just like when Dumbledore wanted to see his sister Ariana again but he couldn’t bring her back
If Tom knew that the stone on the ring was the resurrection stone he would've kept it and figure out a way to use its powers to remain immortal. There must be a way to trick Death into that...
Great videos by the way, keep going. :)
I'm pretty sure Voldemort knew the true nature of the ring since he knew enough about the deathly hallows to seek out the elder wand. I don't think he had any interest in using the stone though because he probably wanted to distance himself from anything dealing with the after life because of his obsession with immortality. A deeper reason he probably discarded the ring once he learned what the stone could do is because he would come face to face with the realization that if his Horcruxes did somehow get destroyed his soul would be so beyond repair that even the resurrection stone probably wouldn't be able to summon him, he would be nothing and be locked away and cut off for eternity. I know it's far fetched but at some point he must have considered even for a moment what would happen to him if someone was able to kill him especially after horcruxes started being destroyed.
Voldemort didn't seek out the Elder wand until Olivander told him about it when Voldemort was angry about the failure of first his own wand, znd then Malfoy's to kill Harry. Ollivander was scared, and so told his captor what he'd thought was a fairy tale.
Most wizards considered the Deathly Hollows to be a fairy tale for kids, so Voldemort would have originally thought them a waste of time, until he realized he'd need a wand of power to defeat Harry.
Hi man been around for a long time love the video
Dean, I've always wondered about this. Thanks for making this video. I think that Tom Riddle probably knew about the deathly hallows, but was only interested in the eLder Wand. THe stone had no significance to him as there was no one he truly wanted to bring back from the dead. I also feel the invisibility cloak didn't mean anything to him either because he was just interested in immortality. Again, another wonderful video.
Dolores
I was just wondering if it was a mistake in "Order of The Phoenix" just before, he's killed, Sirious compliments Harry for disarming someone, and says "nice one, James".
Harry’s other name is James.
6:09 Had Voldemort known it was the Resurrection Stone and used it he'd have probably told the spirit of his mother "Mother you were so weak. I have become immortal yet despite being related to Salazar Slytherin himself you died giving birth to me. Pathetic." I think he'd respect Marvolo the most and say "I hope you're proud grandfather. I'm ridding the world of those filthy Muggles like you would have wanted." To Morfin he'd probably say "Such a disappointment you were uncle. A disgusting lunatic fit only to take the blame for one of my crimes."
No he wouldnt, he didn’t understand the concept of love. Therefore making the stone useless. Only people he loved could wppeqr
None if those people would have shown up if he held the stone. No one would have shown up. He never loved anyone, and none of them had any kind of impact on his life. Harry loved all the people that showed up when he held onto the stone.
Why i say you in every comment.
One thing I always wondered, when the curse was sealed into Dumbledore's hand, is why not just, ya know, amputate it?
From a medical viewpoint, it would seem like some form of necrosis which in this case seems to be leading to rapid decay of living flesh due to a failure of cellular deterioration meaning his entire body is slowly decaying. If that is the case he would have died eventually had he not died in book six.
"But even if he had known about them, Harry, I doubt that he would have been interested in any except the first. He would not think that he needed the Cloak, and, as for the stone, whom would he want to bring back from the dead? He fears the dead. He does not love." -Albus Dumbledore, _Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows_
I like how the first 10 seconds of the video tells you everything you need to know.
I think he was aware that he had the stone but he put the curse on the ring because it was his horcrux so no one would really suspect it. He stopped wearing it because it was a horcrux and if someone killed him (Take note:He was aware of death just he feared it) they could take it and perhaps destroy it , this is why he was smart.
I wouldn't be opposed to them making a show 7 seasons long. A season for each book.
What if someone put an anonymous tip to the police and child welfare on the Dursleys?
I think someone like Dumbledore would know right away.
Hawker5796 to what, sabotage the case?
@@srstriker6420 yeah. Hed have to. The whole reason harry lived with the dursleys was because of the blood protection he gained from lillys death. He could live with sirius and the weasleys because their houses were under the fidelus charm, but over time not living with the dursleys wouldve made him vulnerable to Voldemort while at school.
If someone reported the dursleys to CPS then Dumbledore would sabotage it to keep him there
If someone reported them and CPS took him away and Dumbledore did nothing to stop them then harry would either get emancipated or hed be moved to a foster home. Hed lack protection entirely and Voldemort would eventually kill him
Stopreadingmyusername well that’s what I want to see because what if someone did it because he or she was doing the right because Harry is being raised by assholes ,so if the police and the child welfare came like how Steven Spielberg and George Lucas were arrested in South Park so is went to trail that they will go to jail or a mental hospital because no one is going to believe them and if Harry was taken in by a nice couple that might allow him to go to howarts while the couple think it’s a boarding school and they’ll end up with their memories wiped out.
Brisdad53 but who gives the right to treat a child like stress ball all because their birthright was denied, hows that justified
Ur pumping out videos thank you I love them
1:43 wait, wait, wait... Dumbledore... didn't know something!?
I believe he knew but had no reason to use it.
He had just killed his muggle father and knew his mother was basically a squib.
It was the first step in conquering death by gaining possession of a deathly hollow.
He was terrified of death and dead people. Which played a role in why he chose the dead to protect one of his horcrux's in the lake inside the cave. They terrified him, which he assumed would terrify others.
His fear of death would justify altering the ring because it would also prevent others from using it on the small chance it was found. It's possible he was ignorant of what he possessed but even if he had known, his decision would have been exactly the same. He didn't need the deathly hollows to conquer death when he had figured out how to make a horcrux, but it would prevent his enemies from obtaining them and using it against him.
The only one he truly wanted to use was the elder wand. Going invisible was something he could already accomplish, he was scared of the dead, so the wand is the only thing he'd be interested in. Finding out Dumbledore had it was probably very satisfying, in Tom's eyes, it would explain why Dumbledore always bested him. Which would stroke his egotistic personality.
If only I could experience the HP films for the first time again.
good stuff your voice goes perfect with these stories
The Locket of Slytherin was originally said to give the wearer immense ambition and sense of self.
Voldemort cursed it to take these traits away.
The Diadem of Ravenclaw originally gave the wearer immense wisdom and knowledge.
Voldemort cursed it to ensure the wearer would learn too much, and end their own life willingly.
The Cup of Hufflepuff originally never emptied, and would provide comfort and abundance to anyone who drank from it.
Voldemort cursed it to deliver an intense poison, akin to that of Basilisk venom, to the drinker.
The only House Artefact that remained clean was the Sword of Gryffindor, a weapon that Voldemort was too arrogant to realise would result in his downfall. Had he chosen to make the Sword into its own Horcrux, there would've been no way to destroy the rest of them besides Basilisk venom, which probably would've slowed down Harry and his friends in their pursuit.
Edit: These are just my theories about the House Artefacts, I can't provide sources.
on the sword that is just another in a list of countless examples of Voldemort being an idiot
The sword reveals itself to a true Gryffindor alone. Voldemort was not that
Always love your videos - thanks for putting in so much time and effort into creating such quality content!
Why did umbridge didnt get any effect while wearing a horcrux
Maybe she did, and it just wasn't that noticeable since she was already so awful, all the time! She was said to have always been insecure about her half blood status, and about her family not exactly being a prestigious one. Many in the ministry knew better than to voice doubt regarding her claims of being from a fine old pure blood family. If I recall correctly? It has been some time since I've read the books!
It was stated that the horcrux made her meaner and crueler than before, didn't think that would be possible.
@@gabrieladerre2862 which horcrux did she wear ?
jigthh i just finished all the books. Literally yesterday. I did not read anything about it making her meaner. I have read on pottermore I think, that it was said that she was never under the imperius curse. She was simply that awful naturally. She never had any friends in school because she was odious and cruel, even as a kid.
I think wearing a Hocrux did effect her...she sent dementors after Harry.
It never ceases to amaze me how people can expend so much time and effort theorizing and obsessing over fictional matters that have absolutely no meaningful significance whatsoever. Imagine the kind of world we would live in if a fraction of that energy were directed towards solving real problems.
I'm sure he must have known about the ring/stone, because he seems too calculated to not have known. I think maybe he was seeking to use it to create more powerful Inferi or something else along those lines. But I could be completely off base with that....
I wouldn’t call Dumbledore weak for using the resurrection stone. The weakness is relying on it repeatedly. I would just use it to talk to historical figures
If the cursed part of his hand has been cut off, would it have saved him?
No snape contained it in his hand buying him a little time like an year or so he would have died anyway. I think if he tried something like cutting his hand the spell that snape used to contain it will no longer work and it would spread throughout the body
I was asking myself the same....one of the spells Snape invented could be very useful for cutting of a hand (or even an arm if neccessary....sectum sempra.
The question is: Would the spell be kept in the cut of hand or would the spell again attack Dumbledore.
The ring and the curse is the reason I believe that Riddle becomes the owner of the Elder Wand.
SuperCarlinBrothers created a video where they think that Riddle is the owner essentially because he killed Gregorovitch. In short, their theory claims that the switching of allegiances of the Elder Wand is questionable.
Such as Harry disarming Draco when Draco didn't even have the Elder Wand in his possession and this switches the allegiance from Draco to Harry. Furthermore, they question Draco's ownership of the wand as Albus planned to be defeated. It can be put forward that Albus planned to be defeated by Severus and not Draco. Although, eventhough Draco surprised Albus he did allow himself to be disarmed as it was part of the plan to be killed by Severus.
Ultimately, they ascertain that Albus never held ownership of the Elder Wand as they determine that Gregorovitch was still the owner as Gellert simply stole the wand and so was never the true master either.
So if you believe that ownership does not switch with simply disarming and theft then it looks as if Riddle is the owner in this scenario.
However, if you do accept the book lore of the Elder Wand sensing defeats of owners through theft and disarmament then I believe that Riddle still becomes master.
An exmaple of the Elder Wand sensing the owner's defeat is that Draco disarmed Albus and that eventhough Darco does not hold possession of the Elder Wand he still loses the allegiance of the wand as he is disarmed by Harry whilst using another wand. It is worth noting that the Elder Wand is not even present during this confrontation.
So I argue that if you believe this is how ownership is determined then my assertion is even more likely. This is because the Elder Wand is present the moment Albus places the ring upon his finger.
Riddle cursed the ring. And so the instance Albus is afflicted by the curse. He is defeated. Thus, Riddle becomes the master of the Elder Wand from the wand's point of view, just as theft or disarmament defeats the opponent, placing a fatal curse defeats them also. Especially, a fatal curse that drives the individual to a self sacrificial plan.
This is because once a person has been stolen from or disarmed they can still defeat the opponent. So just because Albus still has time to live does not mean he has been defeated. This is because the Elder Wand switches allegiance when the opponents (Gregorovitch and Draco) still have time to live. So if they lose their ownership of the Elder Wand in those scenarios then Albus should too.
Moreover, Albus creates his sacrificial plan because he has been cursed. Because his life is now on a timer. Because he has already been defeated by Riddle. He is not forced to make the plan but the reason he does is because he is cursed. This means Riddle defeats Albus and Riddle kills him. He sacrifices himself because of Riddle. Now when Albus is cursed he still could win ownership back (technically but not realistically) as he would just have to defeat Riddle before he dies.
So Riddle becomes the Master of the Elder Wand the moment Albus is cursed as he has caused the master of the Elder Wand to be defeated. He begins to plan his own defeat afterwards but is ultimately killed by Riddle as his curse is the reason for his sacrificial plan.
I think your theory about the curse in Dumbledore's hand is on point. However, just to keep it interesting... if this curse in the ring is so instant, why was the diary less so? It affected Ginny but not Harry. Genuine question that I have been wondering for years.
Harry was a Horcrux and his Scar also was a Ward created by his Mother when she interrupted the killing curse used on Harry.
Thanks bro for the explanation
If Riddle wore it for a year at school, how come Dumbledore didn't notice it at that time?
You know, since Harry was a Horcrux too, what would have happened if he had worn the ring?
Harry turns into a lamp
I've always been deeply annoyed that the story of the ring went ignored in the films, so thank you.
He never killed his sister a century ago. Him and Grinderwald had their dual and killed her in like the 1930s. And Harry Potter was set in the 1990s. So it would have been 60yrs not a century.
IDEA FOR A VIDEO- in the Chamber of Secrets when Harry accidentally ends up in Knockturn Alley after using the floo powder, it mentions Knockturn Alley sold lots of scary dark magic items-
including poisonous candles.
Very intriguing! I have no idea what their purpose could have been, or what kind of things Dark Wizards may have done with them- that'd make a great video!
Hey, id be curious to hear your thoughts on how things might hvae changed if harry didnt free dobby
One correction, the whole ring, including the stone, were the horcrux. When Harry gets a good look at it, it is the stone which has been struck by the Sword of Gryffindor (not the ring) and has a deep crack in it. So Cadmus Peverell (or Death if you believe the tale) created an enchanted item that survived severe physical damage and still functioned as intended . It makes you wonder what the Elder Wand, and cloak could have survived and still functioned.
It seemed riddle had already turn the ring into a horcrux while he was at hogwart
Omg!! Dean you are rocking these HP VIDEOS!!
Dumbledore should've just gotten Harry and Ron to throw the ring into Mt Doom
I think Tom did know he had the resurrection stone. He knew of the hallows, and likely the symbol associated with them.
They just (and to quote you) went against everything Voldemort stood for. He didn't want that artifact, nor the cloak. Only the wand.
ugh Dumbledore has such a freakin spot in my heart😭 def prefer our first movie dumbledore tho lol
Thks so much for your kind words!!!! Great video!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!
Hi everyone. I think Tom Riddle knew what the stone was, but he simply didn't care. Because he could not love an even nearly understand love. Besides he thought everyone who died were loosers. So what's the point of bringing them back🤷.
Had Voldemort known that the curse he'd put on the Resurrection Stone to protect his soul inside it was killing Dumbledore he'd have left him to die a slow painful death and not thought up the "force Draco to kill Dumbledore to punish Lucius for getting the diary Horcrux destroyed in Chamber of Secrets and not getting the prophecy in Order of the Phoenix" plan.
Im not well but hope ur well dean but at least i didnt have to go to school all week mental to think a year or two ago youtube tried to ban u and that was a low point for both of us (i lost my best friend) but we're both still here
I was suicidal but when u were back i was back
Thx dean on a hp binge rn
I hope things get better for you. I discovered HP again back in 2016, as part of a movie marathon my son and I had in memory of Alan Rickman. I was going thru some stuff as well, and I was completely taken over by the story, and it's underlying message!! I love the series now, and have even read the books twice thru now. Sending positive thoughts your way in hopes you find the "light" ("happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light"). Eat some chocolate, and fight off those dementors....things will get better.
Why didnt dumbuldore remove his hand? It wouldnt spread then eould it? And got a hand something similar the pettigrew got
I found a possible plot hole. The unforgivable curses require malicious intent. So how is it Snape successfully killed Dumbledore with one? He quite obviously didn't have malicious intent there. I'm thinking it didn't work so Dumbledore purposefully fell back out of the window and died hitting the ground not from the killing curse.
Maybe you just need to have murderous thoughts, maybe not for the person your derecting the spell at.
I believe that the curse is exactly like the curse Ginny had on her. It drains life from the person who interacts with it in a specific way, and slowly rebuilds a version of Tom Riddle. It might actually have been the same with the locket, which is why it was slowly corrupting it’s wearer.
I feel he would've known it was a resurrection stone. We have to remember that he read extensively. But then he had no loved one. Whom would he call? And he hated death. It definitely wasn't useful to him.
quick question! is grindewald a STAVE/STAFF wizard main since he's from durmstang? we saw him in the movies weilding wand so technically he uses wands as main. but since in the fantastic beast movies they fought american aurors. can grindewald also do.. wandless magic?
I have a theory
Hermione’s parents are actually Aragog and they are actually puteblood wizards that are in the bloodline of the Dumbledores
9 LIKES!! I HAVE MOTE THAN ONE!
Elaborate
Hahaha no
Putri okay.....
Aragog was Hagrid’s giant acromantula.
Dumbledore answers you last question in the books. He said that he doubts Voldemort knew about it and even if he did, he would only ever care about wand. He fears the dead.
Video starts are 4:55 (no joke), your welcome
Great video harry potter folklore keep up the good work and great commentary as always Dean
I would have loved to see the other curses placed on the Cup and the Diadem! That could have been awesome, for the Cup of course it would turn the liquid poured into a poison or something similar to the Drink of Despair to torture the drinker. For the Diadem I think than rather than bringing knowledge and wisdom it would maybe bring madness and violence to the wearer, to get more knowledge because of the arrogance and sense of superiority it would bring...It was a very interesting video Dean and the interpretation of Marvolo Gaunt was just on point 👌🏻😄
I just realized that Dumbledore did have possession of all of the Hallows, just never all three at the same time.
He was death from the deathly hallows story and Harry Voldy and Severus were three brothers “a theory” but mostly makes sense
Slytherin for life! Idk just wanted to say something good video Dean from New Zealand
One big counter argument about voldemort having no use for the resurrection stone.... He feared death, if he'd have know what he had he could have just worn the ring and told his closest followers that in the event of his death that they could bring him back with his ring. Which opens up implications of a whole other level, we know how it goes for regular people brought back. Let alone someone like voldemort.
nice video mate!!
How would Half Blood Prince have gone if Dumbledore didn't have the curse?
I think Tom Riddle the boy/man whom became Lord Voldemort knew the resurrection stone was in the ring but had no interest in it because their was nobody he wanted to bring back from the dead in fact the only Deathly Hallow Voldemort was interested in was the elder wand.
Dumbledore had secret lessons with Harry, showing him the memories of young Tom Riddle , and the exact number of horcruxes he made. In doing this, Dumbledore became Harry’s defence against the dark arts teacher. Voldemort was the embodiment of the dark arts, and Harry had to defend himself by destroying the Horcruxes. But, the post of defence against the dark arts is cursed as we know, and usually the teacher’s die, or meet their worst nightmare at the end of that year (lockhart wiping his own memory). Dumbledore’s worst nightmare happened at the end of the 6th book for several reasons:
1) He found all the Deathly Hallows (reminding him of his younger years)
2) He was given a year to live
3) He found out Voldemort made at least 6 Horcruxes
4) Hogwarts was invaded by Death Eaters
5) Draco disarmed him before Snape could kill him (but it worked out anyway)
6) He died before being able to help locate the rest of the hallows, and Harry wouldn’t be able to return for a 7th year at Hogwarts
7) He might have found a way to wait in limbo to meet Harry, but that meant waiting up to a year or year(s) for him.
He died after a year of teaching harry against the darkest of all dark arts, and all his worst fears were realized. Until he met Harry in limbo, and knew everything would be ok, and moved on.
Q: A: No I do not think he had a clue-just a proof of blood line to him early on-and of course a way to keep himself immortal, but later on he may have started to piece it all together but his head was so messed up, not understanding the concepts of love-just power-he could not actually have a true base of loyalty from the death eaters- except from the one who truly loved him (B.L.) not those in fear and he had no love for them- they were just tools to his means to an end
Remember, Hermine and Harry hadn't a Wizarding upbringing while Ron did, he asked them if they ever heard of certain Wizarding fairytales and they didn't. Tom had a muggle upbringing as well, he didn't know about the Deathly Hallows. I don't think he knew what the stone did.
As always, very nicely done!
Question: can fiendfyre be used to repel or destroy a dementor? Thanks.
I don't think Tom Riddle knew of the Hallows or that the ring was set with the resurrection stone. Being raised in a Muggle orphanage, he wouldn't be familiar with the story, and I don't think he would have bothered to read what would be considered children's stories. I also think that even if he had known, he wouldn't have wanted to use it anyway, never having lost someone he loved, as he'd never loved anyone.
Hello! I love your videos!
In relation to what he said at 8:00, if you look closely when the stone is coming out of the golden snitch, the entire ring is inside of it and the stone separates and floats up to harry
Tom feared death, he wanted to live forever as you said, so having an artifact that can bring back the dead would terrify him beyond imagination. so i think no, he didn't know he had the resurrection stone all this time.
Love this video cause its intrigue of how much power was put into making and hiding and protecting the horcruxes
