![How To Block Avada Kedavra [Harry Potter Theory]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/KfTpUGF7Uq0/mqdefault.jpg)
If Hagrid sacrifices himself for Fluffy while the Avada Kedavra happens, then Fluffy would be the good boy that lived.
This comment needs more likes.
*The 3 headed dog who lived.
yes
Only if Hagrid was offered the chance to live
@TheAutisticBrony that's easy. "Hagrid... are... you... sure... you wanna die for a dog?" He's not even giving him the option he gave Lily. He's just confused.
Simple answer: Hagrid would have pulled him in half like a tissue.
:-)
Lol so true
Yes a very bald tissue
@@darthjarjar2742 and noseless
Fair enough
I like the thought of Fluffy being Cerberus from Greek Mythology as it helps build the case that the Grey Sisters, Graeae, did exist and that their eye was last used by Moody
As a HUGE fan of Greek Mythology I love this theory!
@@erorr.sanitynotavailable6937 you’d know that Cerberus had 50 heads that were snakes & and wasn’t just a three headed dog lol
I do not see the point of your argument seeing I mentioned his heads nowhere in my response unless if you are referencing the Harry Potter theory about Cerberus which I never said was accurate considering that Cerberus only left the underworld once when Heracles “stole” him. I simply stated that I liked the Cerberus theory.
There are also multiple interpretations of Cerberus such as Hesiods interpretation (Who I assume you are are referring to) with Cerberus having 50 heads but in the vast majority of interpretations Cerberus has 3 heads, seeing as the Greeks has a special connection with the number 3. Eg. The Moirai, the Charities, the grey sisters, the three godly brothers (Zeus, Poseidon, Hades) and many more.
Therefore, your argument is redundant.
@bruhdon4748 What? Herbert's had only 3 heads and a sometimes a snake for a tail.
His father, Typhoon, had fifty snakes protruding from his waist.
I love this running joke about Voldemort’s terrible wedding planning 😂
Ben: Which obstacle would give you the most trouble?
Me, immediately: Chess, definitely chess
I'd never get past that probably lol
@@kungfuzing1018 I would
Especially cause we’re playing against the magical equivalent to the cpu in chess video games, those things are unbeatable
Yup
@@8-ball350It's totally beatable..I've done it a lot
I named my dog Chewie just so I can say "Chewie, we're home" every time after going out for a walk
Do you say it the correct way?
I called mine chewie because he looks like Chewbacca.🤣
I named my bunny Chewie after chewbacca
Laugh it up fuzzball.
But if your who you say you are than you have a cat named Morgana
I remember being a kid when only the first four books were out and I tried to imagine how the final battle would go in the seventh book. And I always thought it would be cool if fluffy showed up and demolished a bunch of voldemorts death eaters. Woulda been cool
Yeah that would be amazing
I was hoping the womping willow wouldve been in the fight some how
@@strykebolten4485 "whomping", "somehow".
@@Ranger1812 I- ;-;
Beuxbatons and Durmstrang should have returned,instead of focusing on the U.K.
-reads title-
“Cuz he didn’t want to immediately alert everyone to the missing stone. Goes unnoticed if Quirrel pulls it off.”
He also don´t know if the school lock up if anyone would kill fluffy or activate some trap if fluffy dies
@@joimumu This. My train of thought was:
Huh, this seems very simple. Dog guarding door. Oh there's probably a trap spell here. Better figure out how to get past the dog safely. Also won't alert the one person I don't want to know I'm back that I got the stone.
6:27 Harry is the only person who's ever survived the killing curse but there is another didn't voldemort survive it When it bounced off baby Harry and hit him yes he lost his body and was reduced to less than a ghost but he was still technically alive
Scouthedog1 Animations he had a horcrux tho
That's only because of the horcruxes
Didn't Harry survive it twice?
Dani Jo OMG YES
@@the0siren0of0night Let me quote: "That's only because of the horcruxes"
"Sorry Hagrid, we have to put Fluffy down, he's a huge risk."
*Hagrid cries for a minute*
"Hagrid, it's an animal."
"No thas not why 'em crying, et's cuz I'm about teh lose a friend after Fluffy kills yeh."
Edit: #swagrid
Guthixian Doc #swagrid
Dyl A good point
Anyone who would "it's an animal" to Hagrid (or anyone else) deserves Azkaban tbh
Avada kedavra, killing curse should work
Matthew Grime "Yer welcome ter try it, but it won' go well fer ya, Malfoy."
Maybe Fluffy actually counts as three "lives": one for each head. So the killing curse would only off one head, and then the other two would eat Quirllmort.
But it only has one heart. So if quirrel had hit the heart fluffy would die.
I am curious , if one of the heads died. Would the potential decay/rot of the head spread to the whole body like a disease? Or it might just fall of the body to protect the other heads.
I am curious
I love the combination of quirrelmort
That’s if the head is hit but good theory and if they have three of each organ okay that’s even worse so that means he is a crup a special dog with three tails
He could be like 6 year old fortnite players and just spam
My first thought was that Voldemort wouldn’t want quirrel to rip his soul by killing because that would make him a less stable host
I like this a lot however I think it only applies to intelligent creatures cuz Harry kills a basilisk and he is fine.
My thought was that Dumblebore would have though about that and had charms and wards all over that section designed to alert him if the Killing Curse was cast. We know he can put up wards to keep people from apperating in and out of the place, a warding to alert to certain spells being cast wouldn't be that much harder. Can't counter it, but knowing it was cast would be a real nice heads up.
@@nerd5858 it is quite controversial how the ripping your soul thing works if your not putting it into a horcrux
@@arnav4038 dumbledore says that a torn soul will heal over time, if no hocrux is made.
@@nerd5858 i think that casting the killing curse is what rips your soul, but, killing with your hands or a sword doesn't do anything magical cause magic isn't involved in it - besides if killing without using the killing curse would rip your soul, then muggles who killed someone would also have their soul ripped, which would reveal that magic exists
When Hermione references Hagrid's "giant blood" I think it's more than a little likely she's using the word "blood" the way you might use "heritage" or "genes." The books talk a lot about pure bloods, half bloods, mud bloods, etc. but they just mean family line.
Some moral lines just can’t be crossed
Yeah tbh if Rowling had had any doggo die, even a giant three-headed one -- let alone in the very first book -- I'd have definitely never read anything else in the series or by the same author ever again. Unforgiveable betrayal of audience.
Emerald the fourth unforgivable curse...
In the majority of novels featuring a dog prominantly, the dog dies. Old Yeller gets killed _by his owner_ and that book has most of the awards a children's book can win.
Reminds me of a line from a song I know tbh
Theory: The class wouldn't have hurt 'Moody' with the Killing Curse because the fuel behind it had to be a severe hatred (or at least the desired death) of the intended victim, but since it wasn't really Moody it wouldn't be effective. They would have to hate Barty Jr. and fire the curse at 'Moody' to be at all effective.
that would actually make a good defense mechanism against the killing curse... interesting!
but then it could have killed him because Neville was there, and probably super hates Barty Jr.
@@rachelzahava8292 no cause neville thinks its moody not barty jr and neville dosent hat moody
That's not a good defense at all, to disguise oneself as a person that someone would use the killing curse on. Why not use a disguise that won't warrant such risks instead
@@adjectivenoun5052 I think you may be misunderstanding... or I may be, but I believe the idea is not to change INTO someone who would be targeted, but to change AWAY from someone who would be. Changing from someone who's hated to someone who's loved, or who people are indifferent towards, gives you a buffer from the *intent* needed to cast the curse. I think. 😊
Ok a dead Fluffy gives the game away. But, sleeping potions, stunning spells...is this giant three headed dog so magic resistant that those aren't options?
He might be
Also, the harp would still give away that someone broke in (and it did)
@@lucyairapetian407 I think the plan was to retrieve the harp on the way out.

STRAIGHT_ANTI you do know they write each-other's scripts all the time right? It's a team effort on the theories and jokes. Your statement is about personality, which is fine, but totally not the standard assumption of everyone who watches their videos.
Zachary Mackenzie it's a theory, about a series that is owned by someone else. Nothing is original. I am sure they are not the only ones to think of theories, they are not taking ownership of anything
False: Voldemort is NOT the living embodiment of all evil. Umbridge is

@@beccag2758 I have no idea!!!
I've read several fanfics where Quirrel actually had no problem getting past Fluffy at all, but the rest of the obstacles kept him occupied all year round.
In the book towards the end Quirrell is described as raising his hand to cast a curse to end Harry’s life. Does that mean he can / was about to perform Abada Kedavra wandlessly and non-verbally?? Cos that’s super impressive. Also conjuring all those flames and the ropes to tie Harry both wandlessly and non-verbally is super advanced magic. Also he broke into one of the most secure gringotts vaults and got away without being caught, and that was before Voldemort possessed him, so just with his own skills. And his curse on Harry’s broom would’ve succeeded had Hermione not intervened despite Snape (a master mind reader/legilimens/Occlumency/incredibly skilled and knowledgable wizard) performing a counter curse. I honestly think Quirrell is one of the most underrated wizards, dude was super powerful. Also as a side note... does he have a wand? I don’t remember him ever using it in either the books or film which seems odd.
And that first part I made kinda takes away from your theory that he couldn’t perform magic or he wouldn’t have tried. I think the idea that he chose not to to not give himself away is the better explanation.
You forgot that he adventually left a dead 30 feet tall troll down there, he probably had no problem with people figuring out he was there
If you think Quirrel is underrated, I recommend you "Harry Potter and the methods of rationality"
I'm fairly certain that Quirrell was taken during the summer and was 100% possessed when Harry met him as he did, in fact, employ the stutter at the Leaky Cauldron when they meet the day Harry goes to Diagon with Hagrid (just before the break in at Gringott's). He's said to have likely encountered Voldemort while he was on that trip to do with vampires, reference Dumbledore's later discussions about Quirrell's possession with Harry (either end of book 1 or around those portions dealing with Dumbledore's explanations of his investigations into Voldemort's life/death path in book 6).
I will add that if Voldemort thought to get OUT of the school at all, he could NOT have done so whilst still inside Quirrell after he'd revealed himself. Voldy was basically weak (reference the graveyard rebirth ritual scene - can't even hold himself up in book 4 after partial resurrection).
We know focus is required, as well as power, in order to cast spells of high-skill (re: Hermione's numerous explanations in book 4 & 5 when trying to help teach advanced magics). We can assume that Quirrell is powerful/skilled, since he was already a professor at the school prior to being taken by Voldy. I still, however, think that either Quirrell WAS legitimately drained from the psychologically and physically painful/draining experience of possession by the partially-ensouled dark lord, or was aware that enacting a killing curse may either backfire AGAIN or make it impossible for him to get clear.
Recall, Dumbledore is one of the ONLY people who genuinely understands what happened to Voldemort and Harry; Voldemort himself mentions only partial understanding (he recognized after the fact it had to do with love but never came to understand love's true power). So Quirrell would only have partial knowledge of what protects Harry. This lack of understanding of the defenses Harry possesses, plus the fact that powerful magic has already rebounded off the kid AND the fact that killing him with a known spell would have led back to him more easily... Plus drain? I'd say that his power level is irrelevant since killing Harry was literally not a possibility with spells. He'd have had to incapacitate by hand, IF he was still able to really cast powerful magics (he was possessed from like, July/June according to those later discussions.. possibly suggested as late as early August, since he meets Harry around end of August and is very much suggested to be possessed even then (though theorized newly so and just having returned, as he has both turban and excitable stutter).
I'd call Quirrell one of the bigger, quieter tragedies of the series. Powerful, talented youngish wizard, goes on sabbatical to study his craft for better teaching and comes back possessed by a dark lord who corrupts and twists him until ultimately leading him to his death. He was repressed, drained of power and usefulness, then discarded into dust when his use was through... I'd actually like to read that story, JS.
@@bakaichigo Beautifully reasoned!
I think you had a typo and meant Avada Kedavra (not saying that in a snarky way whatsoever just tryin to help!)
The broom and keys would’ve killed me.
1. I’m a violinist, so I could easily get past Fluffy.
2. I don’t fear death, so I wouldn’t panic if I nearly died in the Devil’s Snare. I also have a good memory and would probably have that realization like Hermione did.
3. I’m pretty decent at chess.
4. The potions riddle wasn’t that difficult.
I have a vision impairment, a fear of heights, and a fear of flying. I’m fairly athletic, but I’m a massive coward when it comes to heights and flying and I need new glasses. Those keys are also quite vicious and they intimidate me.
Youve forgot theres like a 30 feet troll down there
@@uriyalerner4757 As a troll, I could easily take him down. Plus, I'd wait for developments on his whereabouts.
May we not forget it was actually Ron who gave Hermione the idea. Hermione was panicking and then Ron was like "Are you a witch or not?!" and then she calmed down enough to realize.
AJgames29 Yes, but I’m not Hermione and would not act exactly as she did in that situation
@@pathmor Sorry. I thought you were implying that Hermione realized it by herself so I wanted to explain that it wasn't just her.
I love how they are so dedicated to the "Voldemort the wedding planner" joke
Its kind of a shame that we *never* saw Fluffy again. How hilarious would it have been if Fluffy was clawing Death Eaters in the final battle?
He's a giant 3 headed dog plus CHEWY IS ADORABLE
@Suvidh Sudheer thank you goodbye
Me ro
Yes
I haven’t watched but It’s probably because...... FLUFFY THE ADORABLE IS AN IMMORTAL GOD
lol
Well Fluffy is Cerberus the guard dog of Hades.
@@chriskimball5785 i mean hes right
Zekromium thank you
But as an immortal creature he isn’t like a normal creature where he regenerates in tatters but like Apollo, a god... Personally I think of Cerberus as the god of cuteness. Though scary, even while watching this part of H.P. I found him as a cute miss understood creature. Probably due to me being a Hufflepuff. But I think of Cerberus the same way. Just a creature treating their anger reorders neglect and projecting it as aggression
When Ben said "exhibit A" I was soooo hoping there would be a real dog on set... was disappointed that it was just a clip, but less disappointed after seeing the clip was freaking amazing
I mean we are talking about the same guy who couldn’t even think of just throwing baby Harry out the window??? 😂
I would just yeet him out.
SPEARS PEOPLE
Throw a spear.
You aren't touching him, and he has a 99.9999999999% chance of dieing
Or, if protection somehow applied to that as well, just take him, teleport to some place in the middle of nowhere, create magic barriers and just... leave. How long can a year old baby survive alone in the woods? My money is on not very.
Now this is a theory I never knew I wanted an answer too
5:03 It’s because they have higher constitution modifiers, and they can beat the wizards spell save DC more easily duh.
These guys intelligence modifier must be a -5, plus, Fluffy must have a super high AC
Ben, could you please pet Chewy once for me, and pet him once every time someone watches the video? He deserves it. Thank you!
Yeah you showed us the dog now we must pet him by proxy
Imagine- Fluffy the Immortal Cerebrus runs out of the Forbidden Forest and kills Voldemort, thus becoming the Dog-Who-Chewed-He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named
he felt genorous, since he had a nose
Snape's potion riddle. It's been a while since I read the books but I remember not being able to figure it out for myself
Here's a few articles on it.
Based on just the book: www.hp-lexicon.org/2004/05/02/the-riddle-of-the-potions/
Based on the actual visual represntations from Old Pottemore: pottermore.fandom.com/wiki/The_Potion_Puzzle
Yes, that would have been too hard for me, and so would the chess.
Yes, I agree. I couldn't figure out the riddle, either. But I wouldn't have gotten that far. I'm terrified of flying, so I probably wouldn't have gotten the key. Also, I'm horrible at chess.
I'm glad its not just me.
Hagrid is a very underrated character in the HP series. He is very unique.
Omg finally. Ive been looking for this channel for about 3 years after i took a little break from harry potter (sorry). I used to watch this every day and im so happy you still make videos.
My first thought looking at the title was "because its mean" 😂 also Chewey is fricken adorable and I want to squish ❤️
Finally, I’ve found a comment about Chewie. I’m pretty sure he’s either named after Chewbacca OR after the comic version of Goose from Marvel. Especially as he got the theory about Goose right.
@imakebaddecision s I'm actually a Slytherin but I do have hufflepuff traits so I understand how you would think that 😊
@@ihopeicanchangethisnamelat7108 I thought of Chewbacca when I first heard the name, but it could be that too
ben: which of the obstacles to get the philosophers stone would’ve given you the hardest time

ah, a true scb fan
"This is my dog Chewie".... siren starts.
Ah, perfect timing random background noise on my end.
Love the beard Ben! Fits you really well! I also love your theories, they make the series more interesting :).
Fun fact: the word Cerberus may be a root word for Spot
Hades, king of the underworld, named his dog Spot.
Yup and he loved to play fetch

you should do a theory of why in philosopher stone voldy has a nose
(also if your american i guess its sorcerers stone)
they r american but say philosophers stone
Maybe he lost it after Nagini?
Most people in america know it by both names
I'm pretty sure that's a movie only thing
Lauren Brinsfield Knownthe same goes for the book.
Thank you for wearing different clothing during ad reads so I know when to stop fast-forwarding 😆
I posted this before but didn't get an answer, so sorry for posting it again. There might already be a theory about this, or JK might have spoken out about this and I might be unaware of it. But one of the things that I always wondered with regard to the whole twin core situation is how Voldemort kept his wand... He says himself that "he became less than the meanest ghost" when the part of his soul was ripped from his body. And one of the main aspects of ghosts is that they are incorporeal and cannot hold stuff. So how did he keep track of his wand? Also why didn't anybody find and destroy that wand because I assume it must then have lain around in the wreckage of the Potter's cottage, right? So yeah, how did Voldemort keep the phoenix wand which really is quite essential to several moments of survival for Harry and could create a massive plot hole.
Counter theory: Norbert was a distraction meant to give Quirrell the opportunity to get the stone and escape. He REASEARCHED how to bypass a cerberus (because Greek mythology isn't a secret) and had gone through the trap doors multiple times working his way through (and repairing) all the obstacles. That's why Dumbledore moved the mirror; Harry finding it gave him the idea to hide the stone.
PS: Quirrell should have gotten the stone: he wanted to give it to Voldemort, not use it.
Me: *reads title of the video* “hmm, idk. Honestly never even thought about it. Good question though.”😂
Same
I NEED the clip of your dog eating air. That is simply marvelous.
Okay, this video made me laugh and I so needed it. Love the content really
I almost forgot you guys post on Thursdays then this video popped up
Because it's illegal and without Fluffy, we wouldn't have an amazing comedian.

This is a good comment, blessed comment in fact
Just when I think you’ve answered all questions, you come with a new video!
the fact that they made this video again without realizing LOL
you guys really have no idea how much i needed this video rn... thanks:)
me toooo
Their videos are so great when a day is stressful and you just need to relax and turn over some brain energy about something fun and made-up for a bit
I LOVE these videos always keep it up
It actually is possible to stop the Killing Curse. In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows it states, "More Killing Curses flew past Harry's head from the two remaining Death Eaters' wands; they were aiming for Hagrid. Harry responded with further Stunning Spells: Red and green collided in midair in a shower of multicolored sparks, and Harry thought wildly of fireworks, and the Muggles below who would have no idea what was happening-"(57)
He actually killed fluffy a couple times, but they used the philosopher’s stone to return him to life every time.
Love the vids guys 🎉❤️
Um, what about the fact that Ceberus in myth literally guards the DOORS OF DEATH and we know death is Voldemorts greatest fear? He would probably not want to potentially tick of anyone having to do with death at all, given his state in Book 1.
Edit- Also further proof of Voldemort being aware of Greek myth is the method that they use to get past Fluffy, with the harp. Which is exactly what Orpheus, the Greek hero who was renowned in myth for getting through the entire Underworld alive did. (Besides Hercules, who straight up kidnapped Ceberus.)
Wouldn't it actually be dognapping since he's a dog?
The variatiok of the myth i heard was that hercules just walked into the underworld and said "Hey hades i need to borrow your dog" and he says "yeah sure"
Ok the sound effects during quirrell's troll line had me dying!! 🤣🤣
To be fair, Voldemort also didn’t think to just throw Harry out the window as a Baby, and maybe they didn’t consider killing Fluffy as a possibility
"...KILLING Fluffy would have been a DEAD giveaway..."
Oy. :-)
So far I have seen three comments saying "first" and two saying "second"

I don't really see why wizards should be more reasonnable than muggles on that point ^^
@@krankarvolund7771 They could have alerted them at the very least. Its also possible that they could have asked foreign magical governments to aid them by providing a small group aurors help with the conflict. Remember, the US sent a very large number of our military to the UK in oder to invade Normandy, we weren't at war with the British.
Krankar Volund other ministrys
Everyone out here picking chess, acting like they're pros at riding a broom.
Well duh..we are😗
Or could summon sunlight out of nothing to survive the plant.
Please do more J vs Ben, I would appreciate the Disney ones
0:36 I'm sorry Ben, but I believe you meant to say that UMBRIDGE is the "living embodiment of all evil"
Last time I was this early Ben was here
FLUFFY DIDNT DIE BECAUSE HE'S A GOOD BOY!
He’s a good good good boy.
I think this is the absolute best explanation for this!
In answer to your question at the end... honestly, both the chess game and the potions riddle would have completely stumped me! Logic and tactics are way harder than hopping on a broom or walking up to a big beautiful dog!
I love how you guys turn the endless collection of plotholes in the HP saga into super enjoyable content :)
Early! I am one of your biggest fans honestly
Omg Chewie is awesome!!!
Hi, SCB. I don't know if you'll even see this, so I'll probably write it in multiple videos.
Ben mentioned that he's reading Percy Jackson books and I'd love you guys to make some content of that book series. It's one of my favorites along with Harry Potter!
Thanks for all the amazing content and keep up the good work!
before watching:
should be a simple answer:
Voldemort wanted to sneak in get the stone sneak out and then reestablish himswlf and gain power before he came out to the world...killing fluffy would have risen suspicion.
(a flawed plan from the beginning since dumbledore knew all along and would probably have intervened once he got to the stone, had it not been for harry)
Even Voldemort likes dogs
Ben I love your dog ❤️
Not to be rude, but are we sure this Ben isn't an imposter?
Ben: "See ya in another life brother."
bEn: "bYyYEeEEeeeeeeeEeE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Invisble flowing hair is the BEST way to describe any bald person and I will no longer accept any other description
I feel like when you asked that question you may have forgotten that one of the obstacles was *a fully grown adult mountain troll*
Oh my goodness gracious I have a dog named Chuey
It’s almost as if Rowling didn’t plan everything out from the beginning like she claims 🤷♂️ Nothing wrong with that mind you, it’s just annoying that she won’t admit it.

Absolutely agree. There’s nothing wrong with not planning everything out but there is something wrong with not admitting to it. Honestly I don’t see why she’s so stuck on having planned everything out we all know she didn’t.
I think planning things out isn't a binary thing. You can have pretty much all major plot points planned and even some not so major ones without exactly knowing all the rules of the world in derail yet. There are so many aspects to story writing and I think you can only plan out so many of them in advance before your "planning" turns into the exact novel you want to write from those plans. I'm willing to believe her she planned a lot and had a lot of the ideas she wrote in later early on. Not having thought through every single little thing and established every rule doesn't negate that.
I think the biggest reason for all those "mistakes" and "plot holes" in Harry Potter is that noone could have ever expected it to get so big. None on those things are all that bad or unusual in a whimsy children's book series, even if that series turns darker later. I don't think it was intended to hold up to all standards of logic but with the amount of attention it got and the less whimsy films that were made of it and yes, maybe also the author's unwillingness to admit to it, the plotholes just get more noticable.

The plant because I don't have a magic wand
So I haven’t watched these guys videos in about a month and all of a sudden Ben’s Quarantine hair and beard has turned him into a lumberjack😂
I mean he has the hat and everything, it’s beautiful, all he needs is a red plaid shirt and there is his Halloween costume!
21 likes and 2 views, CZcams is drunk again
That's because it doesn't count as a "view" until a certain point in the video, most likely close to if not the end. This just means 19 people liked it and stopped watching before that point.
@@gqsmooth1969 good point, but they didn't need to stop watching before the end. Probably 19 people liked it but hadn't finished watching the whole video YET at that point. maybe they were in the middle.
Ross Polonetsky oh really, i didn’t know that
I need to do homework but this seems logical watch instead.....
I love when conversations people have on the Discord get turned into videos.
That dog is cute, cracked up laughing when I saw him trying to eat the wind
