Thank you for this!!! I love your videos and love harry potter theories and things people dont know
I love your videos man
This is great content :) Can you explain why Harry is not summoning his broom in the last part of the tournament in goblet of fire? Just fly above the walls?
a small suggestion
can you also take a look at some interesting fanfics like Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality?
Love your channel bro.
You made one little mistake though. The Abra Kedabra in Aramic means "It will be created with my words".
Just for your information (I'm from Israel and we speak Hebrew and learning Aramic).
Another theory: Snape detests Neville Longbottom so much and bullies him (to the extent where Snape becomes Neville's worst fear/boggart) because if Lord Voldemort had chosen Neville rather than Harry, Lily would still be alive.
Theory? I’m fairly sure we can simply assume that is a fact.
@@GabrielLopez-mo2xo even though it doesn't make sense because Snape didn't know the prophecy referred to anyone other than Harry
I think he had a lack of respect for Neville because he was kind of a bumbler early on, but I don't think he detested him. The reason he detested Harry was because of his dad.
@@SKBottom To Snape, Neville was a living reminder and representation of his guilt from revealing the prophecy to Voldemort and the potential alternative for what could've happened, and as a result, from Snape's point of view, Neville embodied all of this and that made him detest and bully him.
The reason why Snape hated Harry is because Harry is a Potter. Even if Harry didn't look like his father or was sorted into Slytherin, his relationship with Snape WON'T CHANGE. Snape hated the Potter family/bloodline (anyone related to James) with a burning passion. If Snape was still alive he would still have been an a**hole to Harry and he would've treated Harry's children (especially James) like crap.
Snape bullies all non-Slytherin students (especially Gryffindors) but Neville and Harry are his "special targets".
@@paulyb7267 I have to say one of the most satisfying things for me personally in the series, was to see Neville grow some balls and really come into his own. I think the stern, but still loving, way his grandmother raised him also contributed to that.
He was really something of a badass by the end. You could even arguably say in Harry's absence, he became the new Harry at Hogwarts.
As Sirius, I believe, stated in one book. "The world isn't neatly divided between good people and death eaters."
One of the meanings of the book probably is that the World isn't Black & white.
Considering even the “good guys” in HP are a bunch of casual bigots, that’s more sad than anything else
@@seanw2979 I hadn't thought of it like that, but I believe you have a point.
But it kinda is. There only exist 2 house relevant for the story, Gryffindor and Slytherin. And 1 is definitely good, and the other bad.
JK covered #4 in The Deathly Hallows chapter 4: The Seven Potters "Once dressed, fake Harry's took rucksacks and owl cages each containing a stuffed snowy owl." They had decoy owls so killing or hiding Hedwig was not needed.
I think the narrator meant afterward as Harry went into hiding it was commonly known he had a Snowy Owl which is native to areas farther North close to Arctic Tundra. If Harry was in hiding the Death Eaters would be on alert to look for white owls and then could possibly follow it to Harry. Could be seen while feeding as I doubt Harry would use any owl for letters let alone Hedwig.
She got loose in the movie and was trying to fly back. Which Harry Potter would you attack if you saw that?
@@barbarazirger7732 Thats in the movie he may be talking about the books
@@barbarazirger7732 In the book Hedwig dies in her cage.
@@MountainFisher he’s used other owls before in books 4 and 5
I think her feelings towards Firenze was more that she saw him as a threat to _Her_ position; inferiority complex, rather than Centaur-Xenophobia. She would have disliked _Anyone_ who she saw as usurping her position. Especially one who became more popular than she in _Her Subject._
It's even more fundamental than that. She does hate centaurs, but not because she is prejudiced against them, but because they see her as a fraud and don't try to hide it.
I'll bet she tried to associate with them early in her tenure as divination teacher, but was soundly rebuffed and called out as a fraud
Yes, I believe this too
I have a darker theory for Avada Kedavra, as you said its unusually similar to “Abra Kadabra”, so much so that in universe the latter is obviously derived from the former. My theory is that some ancient dark wizards went around killing muggles, each other or animals just for fun and so that particular spell entered into muggle consciousness and over the many centuries the term became corrupted into the abra kedabra we have now, and became just the generic term for all magic.
That makes so much sense!
Perhaps Nergal and Ereshkigal know the answers to this magical question !
This all fits in.
Saw this one years ago thought that whas what jk said. But nice try
abra kedavra is the muggkebwsy of killing of someone. in a hypothetical way
I actually did some research on Floriography (Victorian Language of Flowers) and Severus’ dialogue shows more secrets. Monkshood means “chivalry” and wolfsbane means “misanthropy (dislike of humankind)”. So when Severus says “What is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane” he is really saying “What is the difference between Lily’s/Harry’s (depends on how you wanna look at it) chivalry and my misanthropy?” It’s really interesting.
Wow that’s interesting! Thank you for explaining that
Uhm... but they are the same plant...
Here's a theory: Fred had made a unbreakable vow when he was younger, right? well it could have been the reason he died because maybe it was never to laugh at any of Percy's "jokes" but he broke it and died seconds after
While Reading Snape’s quote during the 5th theory all I could hear was it playing back in my head as Alan Rickman said it.
If I'm not mistaken all potters in number 4 had a cage with a fake Hedwig. She was killed to symbolize the end of Harry's innocence, it hurts a lot every time I read she dies, but that's exactly the point of her death.
I cried last time I read them. Animals are amazing and she so precious!
Trelawney's feelings towards/about Firenze likely had more to do with her feeling that he was a threat to her position at Hogwarts than prejudice or xenophobia. Remember that Divination was HER class, and she would feel threatened by anyone who shared that position with her who she thought would be usurping her position.
The theory also forgets that Firenze was just as rude about her as she was about him. He referred to her methods as human nonsense, it was a two way street
My theory about Hedwig's death was that Hedwig died a hero by intercepting a "Killing Spell" meant for Harry or Hagrid. She wasn't the target. By spotting her, the Death Eater in question knew that this was the REAL Harry and tried to kill him. Hedwig's great vision, as all owls have, allowed her to see his actions and fly between Harry and th Death Eater, thus sacrificing herself to save Harry or Hagrid. I do like your theory that Snape killed her and for that specific reason, but, let's face it, both are only theories. Only J. K. Rowling can answer this question.
He’s talking about the book
@@DreadKyller ... Correct 👍
@Alan..... DreadKyller is correct!
Hedwig dying for protecting Harry only happened in the movie, not the book. The book says that the only reason the death eaters knew which one was the real Harry was because Harry was known for always using expelliarmus even when facing imminent danger. Harry got mad when Lupin advised him that the time for disarming had passed especially since death eaters knew that expelliarmus was becoming Harry's signature spell.
Anyway, Hedwid was in a cage on the side car, spells were flying all over the place & one of them hit & killer her :(
I have an odd interpretation of Snape's words.
He mentions wormwood and wolfsbane both poisonous plants but also literally linked to two of the marauders directly.
With reference to the Wormwood the answer is living death and a dead Wormtail is revealed to be alive.
With Wolfsbane he asks for a difference when their the same thing. Either meaning he views the marauders interchangeably or it's a reference to both Remus and Sirius being Shapeshifters.
He also references the Bezoar an old "antidote" for poison.
Kinda feel either the author was foreshadowing or Snape can 'Ken'
(Ken is Scottish for know but is also used sometimes to refer to a form of precognitive ability where a person may say something without thinking but is a truth they shouldn't know. An example is answering a question like the place something is but not having even heard of the object before. Luna seems to be a good example of kenning)
wolfsbane is also in the antidote for the lycaonthrophy so its alluding to lupin
The problem with #4 is that in the book we learn that Snape was part of the group that was chasing Lupin and shot off George's ear. We learn later it was an accident, as he was aiming at a death eater who moved without knowing it was coming.
With enough time in months of preparation of Harry Polyjuice potion and a transfiguration teacher on Dumbledore's side, was it really that hard to summon a flock of Hedwigs to confuse the death eaters?
Snowny Owls are pretty rare so ya it probably was
that's why it was described as an oversight? It's not that they couldn't, it was a flaw
Hey 1440, Maybe you nailed it. Maybe not. Who wizards or What besties should have imbibed Polyjuice potion to become Hedgewig's decoy clones?
Looking back upon the books and movies, Harry liked Hedgewig but did not exhibit Hermione's love for Croockshanks or even Ron's concern for Scabbards. As far as I could tell, Hedgewig wasn't even close to Harry's personal relationships with Hermione, Ron, Ginny or even Dobby. Poor underrated bird.
bruh!!! polyjuice potion is for human transformations only... thats a ground rule!!! and what will they transfigure into hedwig... even transfiguration has certain limitations....
Surely it would be possible to transfigure some Hogwarts owls to look like Snowy owls? Just enough that they could pass as Hedwig from a distance. It's not as if all the death eaters had seen Hedwig close up.
I always thought Severus always picked on Harry because he looked exactly like James since he always felt belittled by him. So it was a way for him to cope or almost get back at James in a way? It’s just a thought.
Trelawny isn't prejudiced so much as she is upset that her job is being shared. Not to mention the one she shares it with is of the opinion that fortune telling isn't as clear cut as it is made out to be. While Sible sees it as an ability to see what is coming next. Clashing ideologies, and just not wanting to share the position.
Trelawny was just jealous that the students liked the other teacher more than her.
Trelawney is disgusting in how she favors some students over others, and just because she's one of the "good guys" that really doesn't mean much. Mother Teresa is supposedly a "good guy" but she had a crazy notion that suffering was "beautiful."
3:58 I always thought Snape killed hedwig altruistically, but also as a cover for himself. He was point blank range from Harry the only excuse he could use would be to say Hedwig jumped in the way... So he aimed for hedwig on purpose agreed but he played it off as a unfortunate happenstance.
In the books, it was never revealed who actually killed hedwig. Plus, all the fake Potters had fake Hedwigs.
One of my favorite fan theories that actually makes a lot of sense to me personally is one which claims that Arthur Weasley was one of the wizards put under the imperius curse in the fiirst war and the person who made the theory gathered an interesting collection of quotes supporting this. Maybe that would be worth a spin in one of these videos? :)
The Crookshanks one seems plausible. I once read a Harry Potter Fanfiction, where it turned out Crookshanks was an animagus. The human side being that of James Potter’s sister.
Love your videos! I'm such a big fan of harry potter and you have great videos! You videos are so helpful!! 😄😁
I nominate this channel to win a streamy award. You totally deserve it man, this channel is perfection! Keep up this awesome work! 😁 💜
😮🤯 I really loved the Snape theory. It was truly kinda of romantic, deep, heartfelt, honestly just plain thoughtful for someone to be that clever and express grievance like that.. Almost Shakespearean.
Thank you for your consistency and time that you put into all of these great videos man.
Thank-you for watching!
@@HarryPotterTheoryayyyy
The one about Crookshanks having had been the Potter's cat is such a reach someone sprained their back coming up with it. Crookshanks was half-Kneazle. Highly intellegent, and able to sense the trustworthiness of a person. By highly intellegent I mean Crookshanks wasn't just a smart animal, he understood full sentences and conversations (that Scabbers was in Ron's pocket) and could form complex plans such as stealing Neville's list of passwords for Sirius.
He worked with Sirius Black because Sirius was a good person, and remember he also attacked Peter Pettigrew shortly after the Trio entered the Magical Managerie. Some imagined familiarity of Sirius wasn't required for Crookshanks to work with him. Sirius just had to talk to him.
I agree but there is something else to crookshanks we simply never learned in cannon. Jk Rowling said there is more to crookshanks then you will ever know in an answer to a direct question on crookshanks origin on bbc 1. She stated crookshanks wasn't a normal cat nor an animagus. I personally believe she intended to do more with crookshanks in earlier drafts that got scrapped.
Perhaps Crookshanks used to be a witch with a meladictus curse that eventually turned her into cat like Nagini.
yeah, since he was really smart and led harry to sirius
Um, no. Kneezles, not sure I spelled that right, are intelligent magical creatures that look like cats. They are often bred with cats to make hybrids that Wizards like to keep around the house. More because Cats are easier to domesticate than Kneezles.
As Headmaster Snape is so loyal to Dumbledoor, it's highly possible that the phoenix legend could appear where-ever, and as it cures poisons, as seen before and possibly the cure for Arthur Weasley from Nagini, and the speed of which Harry had to get to the pensive, could give enough time for the rescue of Headmaster Snape, the fire reflection in the movie could have been a phoenix rescuing him and taking him to a safe place to heal.
I love you you are a inspiration
Theory: when Dumbledore attempts to use the resurrection stone he became infected by the horcrux, even after breaking the ring the horcrux survived contained in Dumbledores hand. This is why Dumbledore was so resigned to die he knew he was in the same position as Harry and nagini acting as a living horcrux, only by him dying would the dark lord be able to be slain.
The 7th book debunks this. During one of Snape's memories, Snape chides Dumbledore for putting the ring on, specifically stating that he can't stop the curse, only delay it.
He had to kill Dumbledore because Dumbledore knew that Voldemort had tasked Draco with killing him, and Snape taking on the task if Draco failed would ensure that Snape remained in Voldemort's good graces, since Dumbledore was already dying to the curse (which Voldemort did NOT know). This also allowed him to clear himself from Bellatrix's suspicions, as evidenced at the start of The Half Blood Prince, with him making the Unbreakable Vow in her presence.
Meanwhile, the lore on Horcruxes states that they are totally dependent on their containers. Even the Journal was destroyed despite its ability to possess Ginny Weasley. Dumbledore only briefly put the ring on, so there's no way it could've transferred itself to him in such a short time when it couldn't do the same to Ginny.
@@LAZERAK47V2 a hand is a container and a horcrux is a curse
@@plotholedetective4166 By that logic, a Horcrux could be nigh impossible to destroy since the soul fragment could just start hopping from one physical object to another. Why didn't the Cup in the Gringotts vault just start playing Musical Galleons and make itself impossible to find?
In every fantasy setting, magic has rules and just because a Horcrux is a curse, doesn't mean it can do whatever it wants. It has rules it has to follow. It is totally bound to its container. The curse that afflicted Dumbledore's hand was a separate curse, one that was designed to protect the Horcrux, not a result of the Horcrux itself.
The reason Harry became a Horcrux was because a fragment from Voldemort's original soul attached itself to him. This cannot be the case with the ring, as it was already a Horcrux, as such, already had a container.
Interestingly enough, Avarda Kedavara is a "real" spell. Just like in theory #5, they would recite it repeatedly as a healing spell, or incorporate it into healing charms/sigils.
It's been years but I still couldn't get over Hedwig's death...
Hey, love your vids
Hey, love your comments
The funny thing is that Harry was paying attention if you look and see what he was writing you will notice that he had written what Snape was saying.
interesting about Trelawney, the series is full of characters that are at times very unsavory but not actually evil, I appreciate Rowling making these charcters as it introduces a lot more nuance that is not very common atleast today.
Hi love your vids
Unpopular opinion: Snape was still a bad guy, he only helped the good guys for selfish reasons and just read the books for all the horrible things he did before and after switching sides.
What do you think of Regulas Black
He gave up his own life figuratively and literally, and everything to keep his promise to Dumbledore even after Lily dies. He promised to protect Harry and be a double agent He's far from selfish. His last act, his sacrifice was the culmination of 7 years. He's a wonderful Byronic character and his redemptive arc is beautiful. JK said he and Harry were both good but flawed. She also said the one who seemed to not care was the one who loved the most. Snape is an iconic figure already. He is the most favorite and loved of all the HP characters. I'm betting if it didn't involve Lily, he would still leave Voldemort. It's not like you can say I quit. I think Dumbledore would recruit him as a double agent cuz he hr was brilliant and already had access to everything Voldemort did. Who knows, if he was working for Dumbledore, who's to say Lily and Snape wouldn't become friends again . He was in the Order too, so James and Lily would know if they didn't get killed. I read the books too, recently,. He was a spy for Voldemort, he wasn't his henchmen. There is no indication that he murdered people when he was a DE. Even Dumbledore asks him, how many deaths have you witnessed? He says lately, only those I couldn't save. His soul was pure enough to cast a perfect patronus. Actually, I just thought of this . He cast one to send to Harry in forest with the sword of Gryffindor. Dumbledore was dead already. He spoke to Snape through his portrait. So even after having to kill Dumbledore, he still had a lovely patronus. Snape is a beautiful character. That's why he is loved so much
Uhm...the hidden meaning in Snape's first words to Harry is NOT a theory, it was a fact that JK revealed. She explained that she had hidden the code and what it means (Lilly, regrets etc.), but no one ever noticed it, even after the last book. So she disclosed it after some time by herself.
1:11 - 1:23 it doesn't appear as if ripping the soul from the person's body automatically causes the biological death- after all that's what's supposed to happen after a dementor's kiss and the body remains alive, doesn't it?
I prefer the theory that Avada Kedavra just instantly shuts down all the victim’s internal organs.
Yes, but the soul being sucked out by a dementor is slower.
In real life, if you were to fall into freezing water it could you could die from shock in 2 minutes but if you'd slowly gone in or cooled your body before you could last up to 30 minutes.
Avarda Kedavara could be so fast and takes something so vital it shocks the body into an instant death.
I wonder if ancient witches and wizards used Avada Kedavra to hunt? Could you imagine cave wizards waving sticks around killing mammoths? 😆 I need this movie!
One of my absolute favorite scenes in the movies and books is when Snape is giving his speech on Harry's first day in his class.
What would Harry’s relationship with Snape be like if he was in Slytherin?
I kinda feel like it would be the same. Snape hated James and loved Lily. He always looked out for Harry nonetheless. I still believe the relationship wouldn’t have changed just because of his house. It’s his love for Lily that made him help protect Harry. That is all.
@@reductostupefy I personally feel like it would’ve mellowed out a bit, but not too much
I feel he would have been careful to teach Harry self defence in private classes. He would have an opportunity if Potter was in his house.
Actually now that I think about it…. You’re both right. I agree that he would’ve taught him things in private for Defense Against the Dark Arts and probably would’ve given him certain ingredients for healing potions and such.
Probably a lot better, as Snape could get away with being a little more civil with Harry if he were a Slytherin
I'd argue that Trelawney isn't so much prejudiced as angry with Firenze for essentially taking half of her job.
Dumbledore hires Firenze out of necessity, since Umbridge (rightfully) sacked Trelawney. Dumbledore's interest in keeping her in the school isn't due to her skill as a teacher, but the fact that she was the one who made the Prophecy about Voldemort and Harry and was a potential security risk.
Now, because Firenze accepted the position, he was banished from his herd, who would kill him if he returned. Therefore, Dumbledore had to keep him safe in Hogwarts (since he's the reason Firenze got banished in the first place, would look pretty bad if he just sent him back). So, now he and Trelawney share the job.
It's also a well-known fact that Centaurs are quite prideful, even Firenze was (to a lesser extent). This manifested in Bane's outright hatred for the "lesser" species (humans) and his insults towards Firenze in the first book (calling him a "Common Mule" for letting Harry ride on his back). It also manifested in Firenze (again, to a lesser degree) in that the Order of the Phoenix states that Firenze doesn't actually expect them to have any ability towards Divination. He does admit that even Centaurs are wrong sometimes (as evidenced with his warning towards Hagrid and how his "Attempt" is not working, the attempt being the civilizing of Grawp, which Hagrid DID succeed at), but he's still quite condescending towards humans. Again, not in an outright hostile way like Bane, but in an "I know better than you" way. Again, I want to state that this is NOT a fault in Firenze, but a trait that WILL have implications with Trelawney.
Which finally leads me to the fact that Trelawney mentions to Harry that she tried to basically "swap notes" with Firenze, sharing knowledge with each other. Firenze (probably rightfully) dismisses Trelawney's methods as ineffective and shows no interest in working together more than necessary. Remember that Trelawney completely believes that she is a capable seer and that she has the Sight (which she doesn't). In her mind, the fact that Dumbledore would hire her and keep her at Hogwarts further reinforces this egotistic point of view (even though she's wrong about his reasons) Obviously, Trelawney's over-inflated ego at being snubbed would cause some animosity on her end and she would harbor some resentment towards Firenze. Her use of "Nag" is likely just her insulting Firenze personally, and not meant as a blanket statement towards all Centaurs.
Very interesting, especially the last part about Snape.
As to Hedwig a simple solution would have been to send her with a message to Molly til the move was done
Yeah, they shouldn't have taken her with them
I've always thought the same thing and am also surprised Madeye didn't catch that.
@@sprikenThe whole 7 potters was Snape's idea. Since he couldn't very well take it to the Order, he took mundungus to a pub and gave him the idea and then obliviated him so he wouldn't tell where he got the idea from. In the book it says they all had fake owls in a cage. Hedwig must have gotten loose and was flying back to Harry. I am can't imagine Snape forgetting something as important as the owls
One thing I didn’t understand. Why couldn’t they just polyjuice Harry into someone else?
Yeah, even if they stuck with the 7 Potters thing they could have brought another person and had that extra and Harry switch identities for an hour and then none of the 7 Potters would be the real Potter! Instead of just doing the "OIM SPARTACUS" trick, (RIP Andy Whitefield) the bait and switch, all of them and none of them riddle for Tom Riddle would have been a much more clever plan in my opinion! 🤣
Crookshanks did not know Sirius in his dog form. Sirius said that it took a lot for him to get Crookshanks to trust him.
A bit of importance nuance for Firenze is that he was banished from the forest by the other centaurs for "serving" wizards. So it wasn't that Dumbledore wanted to have 2 Divination professors. He just couldn't in good conscience fire Firenze when he has nowhere else to go. And the reason for that is he critically helped stop a ministry official from taking the position.
It is definitely foreshadowed in the book that Sirius Black knew exactly who Crookshinks was without knowing he was Hermione‘s cat the way he talks about him so I believe the theory could be true
Of all the theories put forth in this video, I never considered the Crookshanks idea at all. But the more I think about, the more it sounds plausible. My kudos to the person that thought of it.👍
Honestly snape's one was more farfetched than crooshanks!!!! but both of those theories got me!!! excellent ones... goosebumps!!
About Trelawney: beong a „good guy“ doesn’t mean being perfect. The world of HP isn’t neatly divided into good guys and bad guys, but all people have strengths and flaws. That’s why I love the books so much. It feels like the characters are real people you’re getting to know.
I'd like to know who cast the killing spell that hit Hedwig. Harry Potter was to be kept alive so perhaps they were aiming for Hagrid but they took a hell of a chance of hitting Harry or killing Hagrid and not being able to stop Harry from falling. Voldy would be pissed.
I am actually a huge fan of the Crookshanks theory.
I am happy they didn't follow the book, but inserted into the Goblet of fire Damon of Amblypygi "whipscorpion" instead of common and less mysterious looking and acting spiders. I kept them as a kid because of Harry Potter, no poison, are at all not dangerous and are very good, thankful but missunderstood pets. ❤️
last one shocked me and I cant believe that there is people smart and determined enough to get the message
Great video, sir.
What is the music used during the video?
That Snape theory is quite elegant. I think I like that one most of all.
Given that Bellatrix Lestrange is a significant character, I wonder why her husband Rodolphus is completely absent in the series. Is he still in Azkaban? I'd like to know more about why someone so evil would even want to be married. (In a previous video you also said she's romantically in love with Voldemort... so maybe it's poor Rodolphus!)
Rodolphus Lestrange was a Slytherin student in the early 1970s (GF27) and a Death Eater thereafter. He was the brother of Rabastan, husband of Bellatrix (GF27, GF30, OP6). Rodolphus and his brother Rabastan were captured by the Ministry of Magic after their attack on the Longbottoms (November or December 1981) and given a life sentence in Azkaban (GF27, GF33); however, they escaped when the Dementors turned against the Ministry in January 1996 (OP25) .
Rodolphus was apparently returned to Azkaban at some point. Then, at a later date, he either escaped a second time or was released (CC4.11).
Soon after leaving Azkaban a second time, Rodolphus told Delphi about the prophecy concerning her and informed her that she was the daughter of Voldemort and Bellatrix (CC4.11).
Loved your video. Very thorough and explanatory. I do think Snape would have killed Hedwig to protect Harry, as she has fallen out of the sidecar and was flying back to Harry. They probably should have had fake Hedwigs with the Harrys
They did have fake Hedwigs in the book and Hedwig was killed in her cage.
@@MountainFisher interesting. She falls out in the movie and tries to fly back to Harry
My theory. JK was an abused child. Lived the Harry Potter series as an escape. Wrote the series from memories
This is pretty close to the truth since JK has suffered domestic abuse in her relationship/marriage, don't remember if they were married or not.
Perhaps the dislike of Firenze shown by Trelawney was an attempt to highlight the inherant attitude show towards Magical Creatures throughout the lore.
Snape did not have to kill Hedwig, there are other spells he could have used. How about the camouflage spell or an invisibility spell? I should think the neighbours would have taken in the Potter's cat.
Maybe none of the Potter neighbours like cats?
Both those ideas while great are I assume temporary and in the middle of a battle shouting a camouflage spell at your enemy would be highly suspect but a mistimed killing curse well everyone is moving I merely missed him.
True, Snape simply could have stunned hedwig
@@tanushaandole2548 he would’ve died from the fall anyway
There's an excellent fanfiction called LEGACY that features a female original character who decides to become an animagus. She's a classmate and friend of Sirius and the other Marauders, and her form is... an orange cat with a squashed-in face, name of Crookshanks. This character is highly motivated to help Sirius catch Peter (which is why she discouraged all other buyers except Hermione), though Sirius doesn't know that Crookshanks is his old friend.
Good point about Sybil. But I like that she isn't black or white. She continued to believe in herself even though people mocked her and thought of her as a joke. I haven't gone through each one but all of her predictions or insights were probably true. Magonical didn't bother hiding her distain for Sybil. Was she prejudiced against her because she thought her a fraud? Maybe Sybil was prejudiced and maybe she preferred pure bloods or considered that important. But the HP universe would be so much better if there was more grey characters. Not all death eaters we're all bad all the time. And the "good guys" we're all good all the time. Sybil picked a side to fight on, maybe she was loyal to Dumbledore or maybe she liked her life in the castle, but she chose to fight against Voldemort. That doesn't mean she is a 100% sparkling flash of pure all-good light. Like most people her character is complex.
What I never understood is that Hedwig is a bird. Who can fly! So why did harry need to take her with him? He could have just released her and let her make her own way there..
Damn that last theory really got me. Gonna take that as a fact cause it's really fucking deep
Wow...the last message of yours hit me really hard😞
The cat I do have, will be 17 on August 31st. If Criokshanks is the cat referred to by Lilly,. Criokshanks could be 13 at time of purchase by Hermione.
It's a little upsetting that Trelawney would show prejudice towards Firenze like that. Firenze must've been a confident enough teacher for Dumbledore to keep him on even after Trelawney was given her role back. Maybe she just felt insulted and took her frustrations out on the centaur.
The Hedwig theory sounds very interesting
When it comes to trelawny what people absolutely have to understand is when you are angry and I mean really angry people tend to say vile things it doesn’t make the person saying them a bad person it just makes them angry and not only that you would be prejudiced against anyone who had taken your job
She dismissed Firenze's intelligence and treated him as though he was an animal instead of an intelligent non-human.
@@Shan_Dalamani she did and while that is inexcusable I understand her reasons for doing so honestly I’d have liked to see Firenze more in the movies I thought he was cool 😎
Number 3 is a non issue in my opinion. It is known that even amongst the 'good guys' there are flaws and prejudice and darker sides. Prejudice towards muggles, uncomprehended beasts, house-elves, different houses, et cetera. We can see these flaws in good wizards and witches throughout the books and films. Trelawney, who deep down had good intentions in her own way, showed some prejudice towards centaurs, fueled by a circumstance which she disliked: the fact that she had to share her job and the fact that she no longer was the only seer in Hogwarts.
Surprised you didn't mention jk Rowling actual answer to what and who crookshanks was on BBC 1. She point blank said "crookshanks is not an animagus but isn't a normal intelligent cat either, there is more to crookshanks then you will ever know". I personally believe she intended to do more with crookshanks in earlier drafts that got scrapped.
Someone needs to make a parody of the Steve Miller Band song called "Abracadabra" with Voldemort singing and call it "Avada Kevavra"
Trelawney is insecure about her abilities and her position as a teacher. She knows she's bullshitting 90% of the time. When Firenze arrives as her equal and uses different methods and produces different predictions, she feels threatened and handles her insecurities by being rude. I think it's completely beside the point that he happens to be a centaur.
i am shocked 😲
The theory of Snape killing Hedwig during the battle of the 7 Potter is a very plausible one and would entirely make sense as well.
I remember so vividly the day i heard of the theory that Harry was imagining Hogwarts as a way to cope with his life in the cupboard under the stairs. Only recently i saw a video where the ending of "The Deathly Hallows part 2" just before or shows the text "All was Well" it cut to Harry waking up in the cupboard the day of Dudley's birthday.
Ah..the Hedwig theory was one I thought of almost immediately after it happened. Though, I had thought it was Mad Eye that did it, after realizing Hedwig was following Harry too closely
In the book, Hedwig was in her cage between Harry's legs in the sidecar. She was not out and about flying around. Still she was killed while in that cage perhaps taking the curse in place of Harry.
@@eliasthienpont6330 Yes, I know.
6th theory
Ron :"my knee...my knee..."
Fans :"HERMIONE! HERMIONEE!"
Nah, that ugly cat represents that Hermione eventually chooses Ron. It's the hair color.
Abracadabra plus cadaver
LOL
I'd like to Think Firenze was upset by having to share her position with someone else regardless of their Species. I also think that a Single woman being stuck in a cramped 'classroom?' With a Big Attractive Centaur Man That knew just as much if not more that she did about her profession Might have fueled her with something 'other' than Hatred that then Manifested as such when confronting him.
In aramaic "Avada" means "make", and "Aba'arah"means" destroy. However," abra" means create
The problem w the crrokshanks theory is Sirius had to gain the cats trust. If he knew Sirius why would that matter
Bezoar sounds like that Bird that eats Dead things.
FTI - Aramaic was spoken during the first thru third Assyrian Dynasties approx. 5000 years ago. Today it is considered archaic Hebrew.
And third, Snape would’ve definitely have been benefited from a life saving bezoar in the end.
My theory = Crookshanks is Regulas Black in animagus form.
Read Azkaban with that theory in mind and it’s obvious.
I have a question... Can a witch or wizard take their own life using the killing curse?
My personal fav theory which I think has basically been debunked was that at the time of the chosen one prophecy there was no answer both Harry and Neville fit the prophecy. But when Harry was targeted this made him this chosen one. But if he had went after Neville instead something else would have happened but it would have made Neville the chosen one. Basically it was either Neville or Harry but because he went to Harry's home it was him, but could have easily went the other way
I disagree about Treylawny. She was just upset to have to share the post, especially since Firenze is critical of her methods.
Did you know that Professor Minerva Mc Gonagal taught Bellatrix Black ( Lestrange ) how to Rough Wrestle Molly Prewett ( Weasley ) very very Roughly ? Yes or no ?
I am the 800th Like.
Thank you for this video.
I hope you stay well.
really really want to know if the scene in his memories when he's begging Dumbledore to save lily Alan Rickman is clearly much younger. I really want to know if Richard Harris was filmed with him as Dumbledore. Because it seems out of place with Michael Gambon because they don't actually show them together and Gambon doesn't look younger even as young as he did in prisoner of azacaban
They used CGI to make Rickman look younger. He looks kinda odd.
@@AdamXJ BRUH I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE 😂😂😂😂😂 I was like wtf did they do to Alan’s face 😂 I really thought they used tape or something to pull it back 😂😂😂
@@nahomidiaz9074 I feel like they would've got a better result with actual tapes, LOL 😄
Is there anything in the rest of Snape's message? Like, where DO you find a bezoar? Also, do we actually know what potion that would make? Because there could be layers. Especially if all 3 parts when combined made something even more interesting.
I mean, based on what I've seen of Rowling after the books (and even in the book after the Voldemort stuff)... I'm not convinced she was a genius writer. It's probably TOO impressive for her to have pulled off such a layered secret, that each part of the message has a hidden meaning, but also all 3 parts combined have another hidden meaning. A different potion or something. Or a Horcrux location. Anything, really.
But, one little hidden message? Seems believable.
I think Trelawney feels overshadowed by Firenze
maybe unpopular opinion : avada kedavra is not the worst unforgivable curse or curse in general. I’d say sectum sempra’s worse. The worst unforgivable curse i feel like is crucio , but not like Harry used it. He just used it for like a second but it knocked the death eater out.
How long does crookshanks species live for because if it’s longer than 10 years it might be possible.
Just ask Professor Gilderoy Lockheart about that one !
