- The house of Helga Hufflepuff is probably the last one you’d expect to give rise to an evil wizard.
But through a collection of notes left behind in Hogwarts Legacy, we learn the dark and tragic tale of a Hufflepuff Wizard who slaughtered thousands.
This is the story of Eunon Blackwood, formerly known as Eunon Wood.

Good thing you share a link i can never find these other wise
why the constant repetition of the word "muggle", instead of "normal or non-magical"? looks like you're a secret Voldemort. sorry I can't give you a million dislikes but just one
I like this story.
It shows that it doesn’t matter what house you are in. You can be brave, cunning, clever or even hard working and still turn to darkness.
That is more realistic.
I would say the same thing.
The hat un-reliable if you ask me. it put Peter Pettigrew in Gryffindor , and Snape in Slytherin . Turn out hat will consider what house student want to be in , and not their characteristic
@@goblincomic4522 Apparently the hat can see the potential in people.
Whether they ever live up to it or not is beside the point.
I think Snape belongs in Slytherin. Only a cunning bastard could fool the dark lord so completely for years.
What I like about this bit of history is that it actually references witch hunters during a time when Wizarding and Muggle societies “coexisted”
Right! Would've been well before the Statute of Secrecy.
This caught me completely off guard being that I am a Hufflepuff. Thanks Retro loving my house even more.
Haha. Yes, it's definitely surprising to hear all of this came from a Hufflepuff!
This is such a fantastic video, a story I wasn't even aware of even after getting every achievement in Hogwarts Legacy.
Thank you, RetroGuy!
IF there are any more stories like this, please make a video about it. This one was amazing! I had no clue!
Glad you enjoyed this one! I did make a video about 11 Hogwarts Legacy NPCs who died of mysterious causes. Here's that one if you haven't seen it: czcams.com/video/95mq6QmzvH8/video.html
This proves just how evil we hufflepuffs can be.
Right? 😬
Right? Beware the nice ones. Our mascot is a honey badger for a reason.
@@jmal not a honey badger, but still a badger.
Everyone can become evil...😔
"we"
Grow up buddy
GREAT VIDEO! So well done. Last night during my second Legacy playthrough, I stumbled upon a curious ashwinder/poacher camp that contained several things that peaked my interest. Next to the tent, I saw the same cabinet that the Boggart was kept in during the PoA movie. I saw that and went "hah, I've seen that before". But then I went into the tent. And the first thing I noticed was a Slytherin dormitory bed, with the same green curtains you see in the dorm and even a snake emblem on the top. Next to the bed is a portrait leaned up against the wall that looks like it was stolen directly out of Hogwarts. Some other items I found in the tent were a telescope, an un-openable chest, and a tapestry, which also looks like it was stolen from Hogwarts. This could be a mere coincidence, but it seemed like everything in this small tent was taken directly from Hogwarts.
An intriguing story and a sobering one. Even ones from the House known for kindness and acceptance can experience a fall from grace, for lack of better phrasing.
I know
Right? I'm so curious as to what happened to him after these events. You'd like to think he finally turned things around for the better.
It would be cool if poppy becomes more vicious in the sequel. Perhaps the poachers attack her gran as vengeance for horntail horn or for just being a massive pain the ass in to their plans.
* I thought this would have happened in HL, I was expecting it...but it never came to pass*
In turn Poppy takes a much more aggressive approach towards the poachers, hunt them down & perhaps either us or Sebastian steps in before she goes to far or gets carried away..even the most patient & loving person can turn in to a devil when provoked.
Honestly in the books there were plenty of hufflepuffs who were judgemental and nasty. Ernest Macmillan talking shiz about Harry, all the hufflepuffs accepting potter stinks badges from the Draco and wearing them proudly. No doubt they are no saints.
Also not all hufflepuffs got into hufflepuff because they were kind, many got in because they where average and had no distinguishing talents as the sorting hat sung in one of its songs.
Thank you for this video I didn’t even know these hedge mazes existed
Me too. It wasn’t until couple months ago that I accidentally found them.
Absolute legend, I knew the mazes existed but never found them all. This is going to be a banger 😎
@@jarrodvirant7811 Thank you, Jarrod!
More of these types of videos please..i find thes lore videos fill in gaps in tge Harry Potter world. I like you delivery you have an excellent dpeaking voice thst suits your videos.
Glad you like them! We have 2 other recent lore style videos. One on dementors and the other on 11 NPCs in Hogwarts Legacy who died in mysterious ways. Definitely have more planned for the future!
I would have thought most was killed by their own greed. It good that huffpuff had a wizard that could make something so amazing. Good for him to be a dark wizard. It would be interesting to know which types of plants/trees he could summon.
Yeah as brutal as it would be, part of me would love to see someone try and show that wedding scene on-screen. Would almost be like a version of the Red Wedding from GoT. Inviting your family there only to take them out with a blackthorn maze 😲
I love how you tell the story like he is a real person...Great storytelling
Really interesting vid, I haven't heard about any evil deeds by a Hufflepuff before, thanks!
Definitely a surprising one. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for commenting.
Great video, I kept getting confused why there was so many more mazes with extra chests and figured it was a game bug, because I already got the notes.
Wait a minute...now that I think about it, I was still getting legendary gear when recording footage for this video 😲
Great job! I really liked this.
Thanks, Sarah! Glad you enjoyed it.
Just like the African Proverb says "The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth"
Thank you for going in depth on this!!! I've always wanted to learn more about it but couldn't find all of them myself, The ones I stumbled upon were so fun to find in game and for me me it was a little frightening since I had given my Hufflepuff mc the last name Blackwood ( it was because my original pick wasn't allowed 😂 )
Glad you enjoyed it!
loved the story,after i started this video i just couldnt stop watching....So a question are there any of these mazes in the game?
Was I sleeping that I don't remember any of this while playing? I could swear I encountered one maze but why, where and what I found there is gone. Memory spell, perhaps.😂
I'm shocked, btw, that's one hell of a story. Could be a movie/game on it's own!
No, you aren't wrong. They can disappear if you don't access it right away when it appears! Happened to me when I was playing as well.
Watched all your videos and livestreams on the road to Hogwarts Legacys release and you were a huge reason the hype was so high for me, it was a fun and exciting time of my life so I thank you for that. After the game came out I stopped following a lot of HP content creators because I felt the hype died down a bit. Then I remembered your channel, and I'm so glad you're still doing your thing and have focused solely on HP content. Wishing you the best as always, and lets hope for more news in the near future :-)
Dude, thanks so much for sharing that, Logan! Glad you found your way back and are enjoying the new content.
I was drawn here by the intriguing nature of the title and now I feel compelled to get this game. What a fascinating and tragic story that epitomizes how sorting does not dictate what kind of person someone is or can be.
Great video Retro! Top notch editing and storytelling!
Thanks, Dylan! Glad you enjoyed it.
this makes me wanna go back and explore all the mazes. i only found 2 of them when i played i think!!
Yeah, the story makes me wish the mazes were more elaborate. They're pretty straightforward to make your way through. I think the story behind them is way more interesting.
There’s also battle arenas you can find too
Geez this game is full of secrets. Thanks for the upload! I'm subscribing, I hope to see more.
Thank you and welcome! Yeah, there's been a lot I found even after missing some things on my first playthrough. If you like this video, I have another where I found 11 NPCs who all died of mysterious causes. You can find notes they left to help figure out how they died 😲 czcams.com/video/95mq6QmzvH8/video.html
Man, i know a lot about HP and all. And i have a platinum trophy for HL. But i didn't know of this story. Well told through this video! Love it! 😀
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow this was done very well! I’ve been through all the hedge mazes but never really put all the letters together.
Thank you! 😊 They managed to fit so many little details in there.
...I've replayed this game three times now, and I had NO IDEA about the mazes, I thought I explored everywhere...
I’m still looking for more secrets! 😅
This was super interesting!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Another Fun Fact! The Wizard Merlin who the Wizarding World has on a Pedestal was From Slytheryn.
Among all the dark wizards in Hogwarts Lore, Eunon is certainly dark- but next to the others he’s by no measure the darkest
Yeah, he was definitely a bit more "passive" in his dark ways. The setting up the maze to kill the family at the wedding was pretty barbaric 😬 But after that it seems like he just basically left it up and didn't bother taking it down or safeguarding. Still brutal...but certainly nothing like a Voldemort.
Fun fact in 15th century Scotland there weren’t many hedges just dry stone walls!!!!
Still like that to this day mate 😂😂😂
@@OdinSmilesRavensLaugh72051 exactly so she is a poor writer then right as she has done 0% research 🫣😂
Great video Retro! I always wondered what those tall hedge frames were! are they only accessable through a specific house or NPC quesline? I've seen them before but never knew how to access them..I thought they were some what akin to the merlin trials I also never seen them transform in to towering mazes when ever I approached them.
Another Tragic tale of fear, ignorance & hate, instead of acceptance, nourishment, compassion & receptiveness.
I wonder if we'll meet Ominouses family & what will ensue should we get to choose our blood status will they call us mudbloods or Blood traitors, I will of course use any means of defending myself against those inbred lunatics.
Thanks for the video retro & have a great day :)
Yep, any house can access them! They don't always spawn though (until after you've discovered them the first time. Then you can go back and repeat them again). As soon as you see one, land and walk directly through the arch. If that doesn't work, turn around and walk BACK through the arch going in the opposite direction. If you enter on the wrong side, the maze won't spawn.
@@RetroRaconteur Thanks Retro 😊
This is going to be my 3rd playthrough and im going straight there
I just stumbled across my 1st maze yesterday. Very interesting story!
I loved wizarding lore stories
It’s also Shocking that there was once a dark hufflepuff wizard 😂😅
Right?!
Is this the story from the mazes ? I skimmed them but didn’t pay attention enough . I’m gonna go back and read them now . Thankyou
Yep, it’s from the hedge mazes.
Dang got me wanting to play all over again
To be fair I think many groups that people conider evil today would be sorted into Hufflepuff rather than Slytherin simply because they priotorized the idea of family and hardwork over ambition and fraternity yet that is exactily what led them to be evil . In fact I might even question if the worst incarnations of dursley like people for example would be hufflepuff rather than slytherins because what they might value is the idea of hard work over actual ambition itself.
Love these videos man.
Edit: Got spoiled badly
Spoiled?
Hufflepuff is my House and I was surprised at the mazes' backstory. Just goes to show that a Sorting doesn't make a person, their history and choices do.
Moral of the story?
Never piss off a Hufflepuff!
“SlYtHeRiN iS wHeRe ThE eViL sTuDeNtS aRe!!!!”
~Hufflepuff students being casual assholes throughout the whole series ~ 😗😗😗😗😗😗😗
Exactly in the books they definitely had a lot of casual A -holeness going on.
exactly. huffles are passively evil.
Slughorn is kinder than many Hufflepuffs
@@Auror2k05 definitely
This is incredible Retro. I had no idea this was part of the game.
Glad you enjoyed it, Pete! Yeah I've been surprised at how much was here that a lot of people - myself included - missed on our first playthroughs!
oliver woods ancestor.
It's possible 😬
Was the maze that was used in goblet of fire a blackwood maze?
Probably just a fun coincidence. This Eunon guy was created by the Hogwarts Legacy team.
WOOD!! i wonder if the old griffindor quidditch keeper is a descendant as he was also Scottish (like myself 😂 )
I wonder what were other rare magical abilities wizards and witches could have. Eunon wood could control the plants and bushes and people like Voldemort could speak to snakes. I wonder if there’s anymore
I would think so! Wasn't Ginny really good with the bat bogey hex? Harry picked up the patronus charm quickly. I'm sure there are others too.
@@RetroRaconteur i researched it there’s legilimency (being able to read thoughts), metamorphmagi (tonks), seers there’s a lot
I do hope if there is an Another game if this one U can play a dark wizard or have a choice too.
I only just discovered one of the mazes and I thought it was funny that my characters last name is Blackwood it was almost like discovering a family secret 😂
Whoa! That's crazy your character was named Blackwood.
You see it’s not just us slytherin that have dark wizards 🐍
Ironically I named my character Lorcan Blackwood when Hogwarts came out
I literally never ran into these >_<
Thats wild lol
No way?!
RANT INCOMING...
Avalanche Software has done 2️⃣ UNFORGIVABLE THINGS! 1st, no Merlin and the 2nd, this. "There has never been a Dark Wizard from Hufflepuff!! I feel like this is Chandlers doing 😂
Whew, anyways good job on another well edited, and story driven video Retro.
Hahaha 😂 I was wondering if you’d found those notes. I’m gonna need your theories and speculation on what happened to him and his daughter! 🧐🧐🧐
There have been dark wizards from Hufflepuff, just the least amount.
Also merlin attended Hogwarts like 30 or so years after it opened I think, so no we we’d run into him during the game unless it was set in like 990 AD or something
This sounds like the devs were looking at all those Evil Poppy references and put it in, in some form, ofcourse that being on top of Poppy's family background
Damn. I ran into the maze once but I had no idea what it was for, was in a hurry to do something else, and so I noped right out. Seems I dodged a bullet there. I had no clue of this lore.
Yeah, the mazes themselves are fairly straightforward but the notes and the story behind it...😲
@@RetroRaconteur there's a note in Feldcroft of a eulogy to a dead house elf. "The goodliest house elf ever." See if you can decipher anything from that. Must've been written by a child.
Wait did we destroy a Eunon Wood inferi? That house did have a boss and mini boss with a "Lord of the House" underneath
We Hufflepuffs tend to get a bit quirky at night. Or anytime really.
“Oh but only slytherin makes evil wizards and only gryffindor produces heroes” most potter fans probably
The true Slytherin who goes to huffelpuff to fall under the radar
My player character in Hogwarts Legacy was also a Hufflepuff who slaughtered thousands funnily enough
So its wood .....thus the captain of the griffindors ancestors 😏
I'm trying to find them but I am playing higwarts legacy for ps4 and I do not see them.on the map. Do they show up after you beat the game? The reason I am asking is because I found your video but also my character is a hufflepuff
So they actually won’t show up on the map until you’ve discovered them first. If you go to the general areas I have marked, you’ll eventually get them to spawn. They aren’t guaranteed to spawn every time though so it may take a few tries.
Also can be done on any house.
@@RetroRaconteur can you give me some areas name I looked at the pounder coast but can't locate the exact spot
I love that there is this lore in the Game but I was disappointed that they didn't run with something similar in the main quests. Why have Sebastian and Ominis be in Slytherin and have the "dark" story line there? Why not show a Gryffindor so reckless and wanting glory that he goes to far. Or a Ravenclaw who wants to expand their knowledge and find some lost forbidden knowledge (Again, goes too far). Or a Hufflepuff, so desperately wanting to help their friends or family (Like Sebastian actually is) and once again, go to far. At this point in the Harry Potter Universe the Slytherin House is almost a story problem - if the house is notorious for turning out dark wizards, why have no one done anything about it? Also, story wise - I just find it boring that the bullies and villain's are almost always from Slytherin - Feels a bit lazy at this point. But that's just my two cents
Wonder if he’s Oliver’s ancestor???
Yes, more Hogwarts Legacy lore is what we need!
Hope you enjoyed the vid!
my character in hogwarts legacy is a evil hufflepuff…
I always knew Hufflepuffs had some Dark Wizard.
Uhh and how many wizards did we personally slaughter (or leave to spiders - didnt know i could free) throughout our hogwarts legacy gameplay.
Comment 1) Could a variant of Sherlock Holmes easily fit into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter? I mean, Lord Blackwood in RDJ's 1st Sherlock Holmes film claimed to be a mystical expert and was of an order of mystics. If so, then it definately gives me an idea for a fanfic I'm trying to work on.
Comment 2) I feel bad for Anestasia. Hated by her mother, who birthed her, and betrayed by her soul mate. I can understand her daughter betraying her since she felt betrayed herself, but that doesn't excuse what she did. I may not care much for people and I have no issue with the grey area. However, the one thing that matters to me as much as honor... is loyalty. It is evident that Lissandra was only loyal to herself since her parents looked down on her for being a Squib. I suspect that she killed her father, considering men weren't ever outed for being magical, and headed somewhere she would never have to deal with magik ever again. Probably even... son of a bitch. I think she may be Dudley and Vernon's ancestor. I mean, the entire Dursley bloodline despises magik and those who practice it. So much so they persistently deny its existence and feel offended whenever they witness it before denying it ever happened in the first place.
I'm a quarter Blackwood.
Not played the game, but theory....
There is only one maze. Eunon cursed it to disappear and reappear randomly. He also made it into a horcrux. Because of this, his vengeful hateful spirit is tied to it, constantly taking the lives of those he hates even to this day.
Hmmm. Interesting theory! If it was a horcrux, then he could still be out there somewhere 🤔
Dammit they had my idea for hogwarts legacy evil hufflepuff doing the killing curse on everyone
Just encountered a hedge mage on my 2nd playthrough! This story shows that no one is born evil there just tought it in this case due to the family’s intolerance of Wizardkind.
Yeah it's so cool the first time you stumble upon one!
**cough cough** Voldemor- **Cough cough**
This would be a great movie😅
Right?! Hogwarts Legacy 2 should go back in time and tell us what happened to old Eunon, haha.
Would Eunon Wood be the ancestor of Oliver Wood.
From in game of Hogwarts Legacy , I’m a lot more as a Hufflepuff but more as a dark witch.
But here in real life I’m actually a Gryffindor.
struggled to take this information in cos of moonlight sonata, distracted x
Woah... way too much bass. Turn the lows down a bit
Music or VO?
VO
I always knew each house has it's fair share of dark wizards.
But of course when it comes to humans it's much easier to blame only one house (My 🐍💚 house) instead of all right?!
😒🙄
Fun fact - in the wizarding world canon, there's never been a dark witch or wizard that came from Hufflepuff. They are the only house that hasn't had someone choose the dark arts.
EXACTLY!!
That's not true. Wizarding world only mentions Hufflepuff house having the LEAST amount of dark wizards. Not that they didn't have any.
So this is actually a common misconception. It’s never said they didn’t produce any dark wizards…just that no Hufflepuffs became death eaters for Voldemort. The Wizarding World article on “what does your Hogwarts House mean?” Says the following: “In fact, out of all the houses Hufflepuff has produced the least number of dark witches and wizards.”
Actually depends on if u count rewritten time as Cedric in the alternate timeliness did become a death eater so u all lose mwhahhahahah
@eeefe972 haha, they did say in canon - I certainly don’t count cursed child 😂
I really like this guy simply because he's so out of left field! He's a Muggle-born.... Hufflepuff... Dark wizard.... 😂
Right?! 😅
@@RetroRaconteur It's like the character creators for Hogwarts Legacy we're all in a meeting and they asked: "What's the most unlikely thing you guys can think of?" "I got something.... Ok, bear with me, here! Muggle-born! Huh huh! Hufflepuff! Yeah, yeah, obviously... Ok, now, don't leave... Dark Wizard! Whhhhaaaaa---???" 😂🤣
Canonical the witch burnings were never effective because the witches and wizards could counter the heat.
Was he evil, or was it bringing out the evil in people due to their greed for money and wealth? Or maybe a bit of both
Greed or not, taking out your own family like that is pretty diabolical, imo 😅
Sees video title
Me:shit they found my character
😂😂😂
By the end of the game my character has slagterd thousands of people lol
Do not mess with Hufflepuffs
🔥
Thanks for watching, Rossy!
Totally didn't know that there was a Hufflepuff that was evil well guess Hufflepuff isn't as innocent and pure of evil members that people were told
Yeah according to a Wizarding World post on the 4 houses, they produced the fewest number of dark wizards. But this means there were at least a few!
I better see all the judgemental looks yall give Slytherin directed at the puffs now! The art of the young puff is giving me Timothee Chalamet vibes
What Hufflepuff what the fu- AVADA KADAVRA
The mazes spawn a lot more than 5 times.
Yeah they’ll spawn repeatedly once you discover them once. But the specific locations they can spawn are limited to 5 spots on the map.
@@RetroRaconteur oh, wasn’t sure of that, thank you!
I really thought this was going to be about our character. I am pretty sure I gave this guy a run for his money in body count.
As Ahnold would say,
"They were all bad."
Hah! I thought some people might think it was about a player character 😅
I wonder if there has ever been a dark gryffindor, it probably does exist one
Yeah I’d say there have been a few for sure. The WW site says Hufflepuff produced the least amount of dark wizards of the 4 houses…which to me implies they’ve all had some.
Pettigrew?
I think Peter Pettigrew qualified as one!
Wormtail
Me when I get my hands on Hogwarts Legacy.😈
hes not even that evil though. at least to wizard standards
Evil is evil. No matter to Jesus Christ!
OLIVER WOOD NOOOOOO😢😮
So, Oliver Wood has that in his lineage?
Hah! Well as far as we know, he only had the one daughter, Lysandra. We don't have any details though on what happened to her. Also if we consider Eunon was born to muggle parents, I think it's probably unlikely he's connected to Oliver Wood.
@@RetroRaconteur Family names are usually not coincedences in this world. (Except for Mark Evans.)
@@Drace90 Omg, Mark Evans! 🤣🤣🤣 Blast from the past, right there.
@@RetroRaconteur He is the half-blood prince!
@@Drace90?
What if, just a theory tho, what if it's not Artemisia the one who burned at the stake? What if it is their daughter but on poly juice potion. Out of disdain for their non magical child.

Yesss I love this hell fucking yeah gimmie a in to be an evil hufflepuff
dis u know oliver blackwood from the harry potter first 2 movies is related to euron wood
Not sure about that one 😅 I suppose it's possible?
Who is the greek wizard daedalus?
Daedalus from Greek mythology.
