How dare you make an ad entertaining enough to actually watch
Of course J.K. Rowling would have a racist door that requires you to say the forbidden word that is ending in a hard " R ". She can not keep getting away with this ! Something needs to be done ! That is why I will do absolutely nothing .
One of the few CZcams ads I felt no need to skip over.
R is a letter in fewer
I'm not usually one for jewelery, but the materials of those rings kind of piqued my interest. I was expecting generic gold and silver.
I now have a headcanon that there's a ton of ravenclaws passed out in front of the door on any given day 😂
The books actually mention that it's not unusual to find students stuck outside the door, so it's barely headcanon.
Honestly, other houses could be worse. If you didn't get a new password, you can't get in. There's at least a chance to get in with Ravenclaw
I like it because it encourages you to always stay sharp - if a group of students are stuck outside it means not only did they fail the riddle individually but they failed to work together to get the right answer.
It would suck after a long day, but it offers the opportunity to sit down and just think - I love that.
I mean there are usually and they pass off the answers to anyone around when they figure it out.
Or maybe there's one kid who's really empathetic and just stations themselves by the door on the inside so they can help their classmates in.
I'd certainly become very annoyed if I had to answer a riddle every time I wanted to use a door, especially if I needed the bathroom beyond it.
Threaten to go to the bathroom on the door. It's worth a shot.
I think there are always so many people going through that door that you wont even need to answer a riddle.
I'm a ravenclaw, that doesn't automatically mean I'm good at riddles/puzzles "Ravenclaw? fancy a riddle?" stick it up your arse! I'd sooner blow up the door or fly up to the entrance to the tower than answer a riddle!
There is alot more to being a Ravenclaw than just puzzles/riddles & smartness. I hate how we yet again get shafted in the game...cool clothes & common room thats about it
I would just pee on the door
We live in a tower. Find a bathroom on the way that’s quick and accessible. We party a shit ton too by the way. Still can get into the fucking common room unlike you other twats.
Hufflepuffs door woud have awarded bonus points for being hammered
More likely you'd just be sleeping in the hall covered in something stinky
The canonical Hufflepuff group masturbation sessions need everyone there, they can't bother with security
They have a door?
Their door doesn't open UNLESS you're intoxicated. They don't call it Hufflepuff-puff-pass for nothing...
@@chromesucks5299 yup a door that doesn't open until you tap the barrels in correct rhythm 🙂 if you get the rhythm incorrect you get doused in vinegar lol and that's the same for outsiders
This is why I'd end up in Azkaban. Door murder.
Hey, he's not guilty. That door was a mimic!
i think you mean "nonconsensual doorway modification" my good man
DoorDur.
Durdur
Quick question: Are you sent into Azkaban for casting a forbidden spell, kill someone with a spell or both?
@@vincentvonderlinden6952 for performing a forbidden spell on another human. Was originally on fellow wizards but dumbledore or someone like him got it extended to protect muggles as well. Goblins and other creatures are still fair game.
I feel like this would happen once, and then after that the door's getting wedged open and never closed again.
😂 Damn right. Even Ravenclaws would get fed up with this bullshit.
Or they’d have the equivalent of a designated driver to solve the riddle😂
theres always one a hole who in wedges it
The Doors are charmed and close automatically on their own.
So good luck wedging it open.
@@TheCursedCat1927 steel wedge? I bet you could buy a magical door wedge?
Knock the pin out of the hinges if all else fails.
I love the voice of the door. She did a good job.
Agreed!
@@MatthewMcCleskeytoo bad you sent her to visit Harry's parents...
Thank you!
I was about to say that
@@solame4983 I liked it, too. Congratulations on your success!
This is why the Ravenclaw common room is the only one with a second entrance.
Yes the public entrance (riddle door) and the house only entrance
And all you need to access that second entrance is some drunk broom flying in the dark. Classic Hogwarts: We can do this the hard way, or the way that kills students.
@@hoid9407 well the answer to this is simple don't get drunk, if you appreciate having your thoughts intact I don't see a reason why anyone would do that, if they do they should know the consequences and bring a pillow outside 😂, that is indeed very dumb like leaving your house without the key
@@naoz9228 I mean, the entire skit was about a drunk guy trying to get in. Obviously not drinking is the easy answer, but that also misses the point of the conversation
@@hoid9407 yea but it blames the house, great joke but ravenclaws should atleast know not to do that and only do it if accepting this fate 😅
When I read the books, I always imagined myself going in and out of the door all the time, because I wanted more and more riddles. Eventually, the door would be so done with me that she just opens whenever I get there because there were no other riddles left.
That'd be so cool! It would proof that Ravenclaws are ones who everyone should be afraid of 😁
You really are ravenclaw. I enjoy riddles but not that much
Bro just wanted to exhaust humanity's entire supply of riddles
"Riddles Exhausted, please insert credit card to unlock DLC with more riddles"
I always pictured myself giving the same answer every time. C4. And then probably getting kicked out. I don't do well with riddles.
Jesus if they put that in Hogwarts Legacy, no one would be a Ravenclaw
Fortunately, our character figures it out without prompting.
It would be brilliant if normally the riddle has multiple choice and it contains the correct answer but after a few butterbeers it only contains wrong answers and you have to sleep in the hall 😂
I would 200% have played Ravenclaw on my first run (I was already 100% when I made my choice).
It wouldn't have mattered because there is nothing to do there.
You underestimate those who want to join Ravenclaw.
And that is what made me immediately NOT want to be Ravenclaw while reading the books. The scenes of kids stuck outside the door, trying to figure out the current riddle, just so they could go to bed or grab their textbook or whatever. I highly value learning and intelligence but lord I would not want to be blocked from basic amenities based on if I could figure out a riddle quickly. Seems like the "smart" house would be smart enough to know that intelligence is shown in multiple ways, not just riddle pop quizzes.
I'll be down in the dungeons happily in my bed, learning how to also disguise myself into an armchair in order to avoid unwanted guests.
I can imagine enough Ravenclaw kids go throught that door during the day and in the evening, so you will rarely have to open it yourself. And maybe the children share the answer to the riddle with each other every morning.
Yeah I said this in one if my other comments.. Ravenclaws aren't all puzzle/riddle geniuses, I love creating things...for instance I'm working on a storyboard of my HL MC mostly I'm quickly sketching on the back of receipts(&making the poachers much more vicious in combat). I don't mind some puzzles but riddles I hate...if it has nuance to it & you think of something unexpected that's okay. I also heavily dislike those stupid "99.9% of people will fail this test" or the number ones & you have some jackass saying no to every answer.
As for that door I'd either use reducto or get peeves to annoy it so much that it let's me in Hehe he
I feel like we have similar energy, but I would be the one who answers the riddle easily and is secluded alone in the top of the tower pretending to be a coat rack or some shit.
And there's probably a smart-ass prankster who designed a few spells with completely ridiculous answers that absolutely no one would think of without a wild guess
Come on, are you really surprised that Rowling arbitrarily assigned traits to eleven year old kids? That's the whole plot of her books.
RAVENCLAW: "Just open, you dumb door!"
DUMBLEDORE: "Did someone call my name?"
RAVENCLAW: "NO! I'm just trying to get this dumb door to open."
RIDDLE-DOOR: "You're calling ME dumb? YOU can't even answer a simple riddle."
Yeah because it's three in the morning and I'm wasted
Tom riddle: did someone call my name? No... (continue)
@@bestaround3323And who's fault is that?
You getting wasted during the school week is not the door's fault.
@@viniciushenrique6672 It's the weekend
@@bestaround3323 It is still during the school period.
If you were drinking during a holiday or festive occasion, that wouldn't be a problem. But a Ravenclaw, going on a drinking rampage until get wasted, until the dead of night, knowing full well that you won't be able to solve the riddle of the door because of it, doesn't seem very SMART to me.
Besides, if you have done such a thing before, then you should have already sought to learn a spell to get sober again.
Remember, the fact that Ravenclaw students are able to get in and out without any problems just shows to us that the riddles are pretty easy for those of the house.
Failing at those is just skill issue.
OK, automatic like just from the creative and hilarious sponsor segment. The sponsor got their money's worth and then some with your awesome animations and comedic dialogue.
Oh yeah and the Ravenclaw content was good too.
Actually, one of the better ads I've seen. If all ads were like it, I wouldn't have adblock on everything.
"It's legally NOT MAGIC, stop saying that"
I still would have preferred the ad after the video. This way, it's strange.
He honestly got an easy riddle (I always go for the "word, not the concept" trick first because it's so common). The couple riddles we get in the books are extremely vague and the answers are hand-wavey at best
You got the answer because you're a ravenclaw, harry
I love how the lawyer already knew what he was getting into, then struggle between helping the client and giving up
That part when she is repeating the riddle with so much frustration and anger... LMAO
I did in fact guess the answer to the riddle, but that would really be terrible to deal with. Maybe I should reconsider having Ravenclaw as my house...
Imagine being chased by Voldemort and you have to stop, listen, think, and answer a riddle. You're already dead.
Has anyone ever told you how brilliant you are? You're smarter than everyone else
the only thing that's stopping me from being a ravenclaw is the riddle part ...imagine answering a riddle everytime in order to get into the common room...that would be soo infuriating
I got both as well!
@@giselle1929 This and being a muggle.
"Of three letters, add two, and fewer there will be."
That's a good one! The solution is in the riddle itself.
Are the 3 letters Few and the 2 letters to add “ER”?
YEP
Three (a 5 letter word) plus two becomes five (a 4 letter word).
I would argue that riddle is to open to have but a single answer and therefore unneccesary hard,especially as both variations are far harder to solve without pen and paper. Both the approach of going from "Few" to "Fewer" is correct, as well as counting the letters in "Three" and the Letters in "Five". Good riddles should have only one corret solution, not two that "somewhat" make sense.
@@justicetaylor3050 Nah, they're Ewe and the letters to add are F and R.
If all else fails, Avada Kadavra should always be your backup.
Troll: Magic resistant hide, regenerates from physical trauma. Can break a wizard in seconds. It weakens in the sun, and its healing can be halted by fire or acid. Or cast Avada Kadavra.
@@aprinnyonbreak1290 In the wizarding world, anything that makes your life easier is an unforgivable curse... Go figure
He could have at least tried knocking.
@@InfamousX1000 I thought it was just direct torment (like nerve stapling in Alpha Centauri), Direct bodily possession, and direct revocation of life force. Kill him with fire spell or bombarda? Nobody bats an eye, kill him with ~ prid /kill and everybody loses their minds.
this is pretty much my strategy in baldur's gate 3
This has to be the first time I did not skip the sponsor segment part of the video. Love the comedic timing on the cutoff as well
I believe every Ravenclaw member knows how to use Avadakedavra
not enough rage
indeed.
That's why the door was installed. Everyone goes through this experience, at some point, and they learn a valuable spell.
I believe every Hufflepuff knows Abracadabra 😂
That Ravenclaw door riddle in Hogwarts Legacy ticks me off for one particular reason: the answer is obviously "Ghost"! The riddle is "Which lived longer, the Ghost or the Poltergeist?", right? Well, Poltergeists were never alive to begin with, but the Ghost was alive before they died, so the answer "Ghost" because they had actually lived at some point! Yet the game not only doesn't offer you the chance to actually solve the riddle, just has your character spout off cryptic nonsense that basically equates to "Trick question, neither were alive", like what?!
Ghosts aren't alive. They're both undead creatures of the spectral type. Your player character is correct
@archdemondemiurge5832 but the question is "which LIVED longer", as in past tense. The ghost was alive at one point, the poltergeist was not. Our character says that a non-being could NEVER have been, which is incorrect.
@@insertclevernamehere1186 I see. Then yeah, that's a nonsense answer.
@@insertclevernamehere1186Nope, ghosts were never actually alive. They're not the soul stuck on earth, but an imprint left by the person upon death. Therefore neither poltergeists nor ghosts were ever truly alive.
@@HiThereImLily I forgot the writer's name, but he said that the soul was divided into two parts, the astral and aerial bodies. The Astral Body went to the afterlife, but the aerial body could remain in Earth. Basically the same concept as the Ba and Ka of Egypt.
Good thing that Ravenclaw's dorm is located in the tower, so you can just fly to the window and ask your roommates to let you in, or even just leave it open beforehand :D
I think all houses, except Slytherin have easy window acess (if you have a broom).
Ravenclaw is up in a tower, same as Gryffindor, while Hufflepuff doesnt need a broom, im not sure if the windows are big enough.
Infortunally the danger noodles have no luck unless they want to use the sewers to sneak in.
CLEARLY the sorting hat is to blame. a child who goes out and gets wasted the night before classes, then tries to assault the door when he is too drunk to figure out a riddle (and with one of curses the wizarding world has banned) is no ravenclaw.
this must have been an alternate dimension where crab or goyle ended up in ravenclaw instead of slytherin
Being drunk sounds not relatable but imagine this, you have the shittiest day ever, your coffee (or whatever keeps you awake assuming you aren't immune to caffeine for some reason), then you got paired against someone who chugged a whole bottle of Luck Potion and skipping that class means that you have to stay behind and getting chewed out by McGonagall. Then some prankster decided to use an ear plugging spell while you are trying to get a potion to work in a way that couldn't have possibly worked unless you have the Half Blood Prince book and you are SOL because you need to go to the bathroom but all of them are occupied save for the one with Myrtle.
Does this sound ridiculous and mentally taxing unless you are unable to get a headache for whatever reason? Yes
Can it happen in Harry Potter? Absolutely
Don't forget not being able to solve the next riddle even after sleeping off the drunkenness
Sounds like most academics honestly, intelligence doesn’t necessarily mean wisdom.
And just as he cast his final spell, someone opened the door...
This is why Ravenclaws have a Designated Doorman.
I'm so glad I was able to figure out it was "R" before you revealed the answer. Then again not before my 3rd attempt.
Omg I forgot about that part, but that is really the worst.
Great new animation! Awesome how you integrated the ad, I enjoyed watching it :D
As a Ravenclaw, can confirm I’d be to stupid to get into the dorm
Just transfigure the door into a piece of cheese or something, haul a floo in there, and stop worrying about it. Worst case just get a Time Turner and just paradox your way past the door every day.
Think smarter, not harder, anyone wasting time spent studying magic on riddles or finding their keys is obviously insecure about the former, and is thinking more like a Griffindor than a Ravenclaw, and should be spoken to very slowly in words of less than two syllables accordingly.
*too
SAME
@@aprinnyonbreak1290 Maybe the Ministry of Magic forbade the former when Umbridge was a teacher and the latter doesn't work when the Gryffindors/Hufflepuffs drained all of the Time Turner reserves to save the world
@@nonamepasserbya6658
....just transfigure Umbrige into a piece of cheese or something?
I wonder how many "homeless" Ravenclaw wandering in the castle time to time XD
I see this as a win win. I love riddles, and the dorms would be quieter. But I guessed your riddle, and have worked a summer camp. Absolutely this is a failcheck for sobriety.
Well they can ask another fellow Ravenclaw to answer it or enter it together when someone answer the riddle. There's many way to enter the common room if one use his/her wits and not just intelligence. That's the beauty of Ravenclaw, they need to think logically, creatively, and also plan for everything.
Hahahhahaha lol the door even give him a hint when he replied rain 😂 so close and yet so far
I was absolutely thinking this as a ravenclaw in my playthrough. Ravenclaws are known for the strength of their brains and the strength of their legs
I've always assumed the riddles were supposed to be pretty easy, given by a being able to provide hints or substitute riddles. And it's not like a Ravenclaw during most of the school's history couldn't use one of the other common rooms for basic amenities. This stuff was designed in-setting for flavour reinforcing house themes, not actual security.
Yeah, nobody gives a shit about security in hogwarts anywua
I wouldn't even bother with the dorm. I'd just get a tent and sleep outside
Tell the giant man eating spiders hi!~
Seriously tho have that wand nearby when you sleep out their
Honestly I would permanently carry a pillow and a blanket with me. Yes, I'm a Ravenclaw 💀🤣
Very deep lore this. Well done mate. 👏
That was the first time I've ever intentionally watched an ad a second time. You are killing it!
I've never seen an ad segment be the best part of the video hahaha, that was gold... and also magic
And that's why you always need a designated door riddler when you go to have a few drinks
Reading the Harry Potter books as a young child, I wondered this very thing. It's good to see someone express it in video form.
Also, this was one of your best ads to date.
Ive always been placed in ravenclaw but Im absolutely terrible at riddles
Actually you can be smart and bad at riddles at the same time
i'm so glad im subscribed to this channel. mega underrated creator.
When the ad is just as good as the actual video. Mad respect!
I really wanted him to go "Aaaarrrrgh" and just have the door open
That Bees line made me think of Magic Schoolbus
"Hey, door, I've got a riddle for you. When is a Jack also a Johnny?"
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

The sponsor content could have been its short own video, that was hilarious!
I suspect that this Ravenclaw might be submitting a request to join Hustlepuff soon.
At first I was offended at the title because I am a Ravenclaw...but after watching the video, I now can't argue lol
Imagine being a ravenclaw but sucks at riddles so bloody badly lol
İt's me
That riddle was fun now I want another one.
I'm a door. How can you kill a door? What a grand and intoxicating innocence.
The riddles are said to be logically based. So, if you overthink it, you will have a hard time since you have to think logically. It is more common for people to guess randomly than it is to analyze what the door is saying. Often riddles will have simple answers or multiple answers, you just don't think about it. Have to think outside of the box as seen.
So, the door forces its inhabitants to gain a logical mindset and to have Ravenclaw traits, despite the downsides, I give the creator of the door credit. Although, someone inside can open the door for people outside and it is said that people tend to guess the riddles in groups.
Yeah, I'll be so screwed if I was in Ravenclaw. I am generally bad with riddles; I don't even have to be drunk to get them wrong.
Would be so fun to see a video with hufflepuffs door, or some guy being dumbfounded by all the magic
Omg I can't believe i can buy a magical ring
Congratulations, you successfully got me to not skip through the sponsorship for the first time ever.
Best sponsorship I've ever seen, I actually had to rewind it to watch it again 😂
Many dark wizards were born this way.
Drunk Me would adore solving a riddle like an escape room.
Am I the only one screaming the answer to each riddle at my computer monitor while the drunk guy answers wrong over and over? I guess that online quiz I took forever ago was right and I'm a Ravenclaw.
@@LTNetjakis the answer to the first one r?
@@elima5646 Yes, it is.
@@arandomcheese ok, thanks
same!! i always got sorted into either gryffindor or hufflepuff, but i got both of these riddles right away. either they're too easy or i need to retake the hogwarts house quiz lol
Door riddles are why I figured I was too dumb for ravenclaw and defaulted to hufflepuff 🤷🏼♀️
I mean if it was this easy it’s fine but I don’t think it was this easy in the books.
Still better than clicking on images of traffic lights or motorcycles
Screw it, I'm spending the night in Hagrid's hut
Hufflepuff soaks you in vinegar if you knock their password out of rhythm
(insert answer to the last riddle here)
answer is "few". another way of asking the riddle to make it obvious is, a three letter word that when you add two letters become fewer.
I couldn't even make out the second riddle
@Top Hat the audio for it was a bit off. Had to rewind and use context to understand the first few words.
@@ZevTor Thank you I misheard the riddle and thought it was "I am a word of letters 3 AND 2 and fewer there will be".
@@ZevTor Thanks, I was stuck thinking along the lines of numbers where +2 would make it shorter.
Does the door have a keyhole? I mean could you try to let someone open the door from the inside by casting imperio through the keyhole on him? And maybe you could modify the door to create a keyhole for you if you give a specific Codewort as an answer to a riddle.
Found the Slytherin.
The door is sentient lady. If it has a keyhole and I'm drunk, I'm fucking that keyhole.
Now imagine you finally get it right but two certain Dark Brotherhood assassins try and pull the oldest trick in the book
This and flashgitz gotta be the only sponsor skits I enjoy. Lmao
You can answer the riddle with anything as long as it’s within reason and makes sense logically there isn’t a definite answer to each riddle that MUST be said to enter
loved the sponsor segment strangely enough
"So, why are you in Azkaban?"
"I couldn't open a stupid door, so I used the killing curse and got sent here."
So that's why there's no remarkable ravenclaw villains. They probably got locked themselves somewhere.
The Harry Potter cartoon that I always wanted
The ring in the promo is magic, it was on one finger one second and a different finger the next.
look if a door is gonna get snippy with me, I'm gonna get chainsawey with it
"Did you say..._beeeeees?_" I love how she says it XD
Apart from being annoying, he house doors are terrible security. The gryffindor door is opened by saying a password. Out loud. In a hallway everyone is allowed in.
Anyone could enter the Gryffindor room by just lurking in the hallway until someone has to say the password out loud to enter.
Im sure they could use magic to make a door that only opens when a student of the house stands in front of it. Or just hang up a portrait of a guy with great memory and tell it "these are the new students, let em in for the next seven years"
I'd carry a pillow and blanket everywhere just to spite the door lmao
What is seen in the middle of March and April that cannot be at the beginning or end of either month The letter R
I take it as a good sign of being a Ravenclaw that I had the answer the moment after the door finished asking it. xD
That riddle is brilliant.
OK, the sponsored bit was brilliant.
I love how the door literally says the answer for the second one xD
Took me looking at captions to understand what she said
Few
Damn. I've never watched any of your content, but this video autoplayed on the day Sir Michael Gambon (Professor Dumbledore) passed away. May he rest in peace.
I'm happy I figured it out before it was revealed
The answer to the last riddle is "Three".
I'm a word of letters three [SIX], add two and fewer there will be [THREE].
Is the answer the letter “R” because I was thinking about it the whole time
Edit : I just finished the video haha I got it 👍
The real issue of this door isn't that people in the house can't get in, it's that people outside the house can just figure out the riddle and get in uninvited. The security to the other houses isn't foolproof either, you can just eavesdrop the password or persuade someone to tell it, but at least you have to go through some effort to get it
When you thought the Gryfindors were having it worst with their entrance
I bet you could get in with a Hadouken!
For me I'd get too pissed off and just fly my broomstick through the fuckin window
did he really just try to kill a door? XD
I actually paused the video and figured it out before the end lol. It took about 30 seconds while driving around distracted 😅
Although I've taken the test many times, so I am actually a true Ravenclaw at heart. 😂

It is wierd that Ravenclaw makes you answer a riddle, showing your brains. However, Griffendor doesn't make you do something brave, remembering a password isn't brave.
slytherin and hufflepuff just have passwords too.
Thank goodness the Church took care of the witches in our world. Changing login passwords every several months is one thing but a snarky security would be unbearable.
