      In the case of Muggle-born children, a teacher from Hogwarts personally visited the family to give them the big magic reveal. Harry was an odd case; his family knew about magic but kept the truth from him, so when it was clear that no reply letter was forthcoming by the deadline, Hagrid was permitted to meet him.
      I also like to think that Dumbledore had a wee bit too much fun with the letters.

    I think the answer to the last question about muggles getting their Hogwarts letter in person refers to when Snape explains this to Lily in a flashback in book 7 and tells her that someone will be delivering her acceptance letter in person because she’s muggle born (and so they can explain to her parents that she’s a witch).

    Pewter has a melting point of 170 - 230°C so yes it is considered softer than other metals (i.e. copper: 1084°C; aluminum: 660°C; carbon steel: 1425 - 1540°C; brass: 930°C; cast iron: 1204°C; stainless steel: 1375 - 1530°C) but I assume that's because first years would not be brewing anything that requires extreme high heat or sustained heating.

      @lajvanegmond Před rokem +4

      j is right pewter consist mostly of tin and has a low meltingpoint, 170-230 °C (338-446 °F). a woodfire in a grate could reach 500 °C (932 F). a gasflame as used in your chemistry lessons at school gets around 300 °C.(572 F). so pewter on a Fire is indeed useless. it should be copper or brass (melting point around 1000 °C (1832 F)

    • @speculativemusings3593
      @speculativemusings3593 Před rokem +11

      @@lajvanegmond Huh, I did not know that. Looking further into it, turns out that we muggles mainly use pewter for either decorative or utilitarian items, mainly because if it broke, it was easier to melt down the pieces and remake it. Real pewter of the kind they used in the medieval times usually had a high lead content, which tended to cause lead-poisoning.
      I’ll say a few things with regard to its use here:
      1) They’ve got magic, so the health concerns are likely countered by something we don’t see. Maybe they’re just immune?
      2) Neville often screws up his potions, and one of those screw-ups is melting through the bottoms of his cauldrons. This means that accurate temperature maintenance is a factor in potion making. Magical fires probably help with that.
      3) We later see other types of cauldrons- gold, silver, brass, copper, iron, fire crab shell, etc. We even hear tell of a failed attempt at a cheese cauldron. This implies that specific types were used with specific potions. Historically IRL, pewter was considered highly conductive for magic, while iron was almost anti-magic. So pewter would be useful for low magic individuals or ingredients, while iron is probably reserved for magically potent ingredients that could be highly reactive.
      As such, pewter’s use in cauldrons for first years, who likely can’t channel much magic yet, can’t be trusted with high heat flames, and who may accidentally destroy their cauldrons, is probably justified.

    The last question. Usually for Muggleborns they have a member of staff deliver the letter in person so the parents can have the situation explained to them, and to have people on hand to alter memories should there be negative reception, considering it's revealing the magical world to muggles which may violate the statute of secrecy.
    Edit: I think the reason harry was an exception is because the Dursleys already knew about magic, even though they disliked it, they were aware of it because of Dumbledore's letter and Petunia's family.

    Didn't Snape let Lily that someone from the school would come by with it, because she is a muggle born witch? I think the only reason Harry gets the owls is because Dumbledore left a letter with Harry explaining everything, and it was assumed that he would be told that he was a wizard. That's why Hagrid was so surprised that Harry didn't know.

      I didn't remember the answer from the books, but just thinking about it logically, it makes perfect sense. A wizarding family (or the unusual case of the Dursleys) only needs an owl because they already know what's up, while a muggle family would have no idea what to make of the letter and probably assume it's a hoax, so a staff member goes in person to explain everything.

    Muggle borns need a witch or wizard to explain to them and their parents the fact that there is a magical world and they are now part of it. The Dursleys knew about the magical world already through Petunia and Dumbledore knew this, argo owl post. The magical world didn’t realize the extent to which Harry was being abused/kept in the dark.

    24:35 I actually have my personal thoughts on that!
    You obviously can't just scale up and make more magical things. That's still relatively normal to them. An even higher magic setting would be more akin to sci-fi for them.
    On the contrary however, they are EXTREMELY behind in technology. To the point where it might seem almost... magical... to those who didn't grow up in the muggle world.
    TL:DR In magical settings sci fi and fantasy essentially swap roles.

    I think funeral home is actually a good business front for money laundering because the services and prices are not only not standardized, they are famously highly priced up and remain quite cash-based despite the rise of other payment options. And it won't be easily discovered since people don't usually ask or talk about how much funerary services cost. Almost no one price shops for that. It's the kind of thing only the most finance-savvy people even think about. The biggest issue might be the interval between clients though... (lol that sounds so ominous)
