I got the second to last Quiz Master One (What else came with Harrys letter)
Pewter does have a lower melting point and is rather flexible.
It was a funny welk not a fig, sorry that bothered me lol
@@taguragamer what the muggle is a welk?
@@archerelms misspelled it, whelk, looks to be a type of mollusk
"What do wizards consider fantasy?" Well, there is one wizard in particular that allegedly wrote a few fairy tales. You may not have heard of him but he is known as Beedle the Bard.
Yeah I was screaming THE DEALTHLY HALLOWS at that question
I thought you were going to say Gilderoy Lockhart 😂
@@ThePC-eh2lt many of Lockhart's works are actually based heavily on actual events in the Harry Potter universe.
It just happens that the protagonist isn't the same person that was involved in the true equivalent to the events depicted in his books.
@@ThePC-eh2lt I mean, saying him would have been _pretty_ _obvious_ wouldn’t it?
I mean we know the story of the three brothers was based in fact so they all could very well be non fiction
I think Harry got an owl delivering his letter because his aunt and uncle were aware of the magical world (even thought they tried to pretend it didn't exist). Other muggle parents wouldn't likely have a clue.
yep, he's also not muggle born :D
@@jawstrock2215*muggle-born
Grammar? Never heard of it? :'D
@@dildojizzbaggins6969 Can't tell if that's a joke or not
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.
@@Cailus3542 he definitely did
Maybe I’m a freak at remembering random stuff but “tiptoe through the tulips” was firmly locked in my mind the second I heard the question 😂
I wouldn’t have remembered without the multiple choice, but the moment I heard it, I knew it was right without needing the other options. Never heard of that song, though.
When I heard the tune, I knew immediately because of Spongebob
I think I remember it because after reading it the first time I remember thinking to myself "That's the last song I would have expected him to sing"
I planted it in my brain by accident a decade ago that this is what he hums.
I only remember that because of a horror movie. The demon was singing that song and the pitch he was singing it at didn’t match him.
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).
This is exactly what i thought of as well (and Hermione).. was actually surprised that they didn’t get that one 😅
Yeah, the small but important detail here is that Patunia knows her sister was a witch and attended hogwarts. The dursley knew and so didnt need to obfuscate the delivery.
Yes. I also think at some point Hermione tells Harry and Ron that someone from the school came to talk to her parents in person. Harry was sent a letter because it was assumed he knew all about the magical community and Hogwarts, Hagrid was very surprised to find out he didn't know.
Actually we read it (or watch it) earlier in the saga when Dumbledore delivered the letter to Tom Riddle at the orphanage.
Yeah it was confusing that they didn't get this right. Maybe they didn't realize a letter would be part of it but how could they expect muggle parents to know what Hogwarts was
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.
Marge didn’t eat a funny fig, it was a WHELK 😂
They were also two separate events. Marge was ill, and she ate a funny whelk. It was doing something hilarious before she ate it.
Glad some one remembered this!
Yeah I literally pulled every copy of philosopher’s and sorcerer’s stone to double check. They all say “ate a funny whelk …”
Thank you! I was so confused!
I pulled out my copy to check too. I knew that would have stuck in my memory if it was a fig!
Order of Merlin, first class is one title even with the comma so I think Ben is right and so is Supreme Mugwump, international confederation of wizards. Headmaster is on there as well, so in hindsight I say Ben gets the point cuz he got grand sorcerer, evening the score at 6-6.
I could be wrong, but I believe J got grand sorcerer as well
@@magic8ball1982 you are. He didn’t have the “grand”
Yeah definitely. Just name dropping the International Confederation of Wizards doesn't make sense otherwise.
A Sorcerer Supreme is the same as a regular Sorcerer, but with a dollop of sour cream added.
@@ernestryles Yea but they always do things like this, even if that one missing word is important, they'll still give a point then other times they won't. They're very inconsistent with their criteria for answers. But hey it's their show, they can score it how they want.
About the pewter cauldrons: they actually explain this factor in the books! Why else is the thickness of cauldron bottoms so important? Every metal has a point of thickness at which it becomes pliable, but each one is different! How else could you have wires, platings, and statues made from the same materials?
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)
@@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.
@@speculativemusings3593 Did you just say that In Real Life magical conductivity is a consideration?
@@weckar I meant that outside of the Harry Potter series, historically speaking, pewter was considered to be magically conductive within the practice of witchcraft. As such, it stands to reason that pewter was chosen by JKR in reference to that knowledge.
@You're Gonna Hate This tinfoil is metal, and bends very easily. Therefore metal can bend at thicknesses greater than a few microns. You couldn’t make use of wires and cables otherwise.
When I was a little kid, I used to think privet was just the way Jim Dale said "private" and never looked it up till I was an adult. Now I know it's a kind of flower. Reading the books in German, they translate the street name using the German work for privet - Liguster. However, in the Hawaiian version, the translator calls the street Ala Pilikino, which means "private road" 🤣
This kind of stuff just fascinates me! Thanks for sharing! 😯😆
In Czech, it´s "Zobí ulice 4"
"Zob" basically means "bird feed", which is our name for the Privet (shrub).
Which made me laugh as a kid when all the birds (owls) were swarming the place.
That is cool, both the fact and you knowing & sharing w/ us. Thanks [:)]
In the norwegian version it's called "Hekkveien", which means "Hedge Road" or "Hedge Street". Possibly refering to being sheltered behind the prim and propper Hedges?
In Dutch it's also called Ligusterlaan (lane). And Surrey is translated to Klein (little) Zanikem, which is a play on the Dutch word Zaniken which means 'to moan/complain in an irritating way about the same subject over and over again.'
Imagine if Harry had gone to the wrong wand shop, no same wand core, it would have been very different
I mean I feel like JK Rowling would've just beefed up the Horcrux plot line in that case. And its very possible since Ollivander isn't even the only wand maker in Diagon Alley let alone Britain let alone the world.
@@TheAutisticBrony I mean, not the only one, but by and large recognized as the best, and I don't think there's any timeline or possible order of events that would have made Hagrid ever take Harry to any other shop.
Ollivander’s is the only wand shop in wizarding Britain.
@@TheAutisticBrony He is the only one in Britain for all intents and purposes. Of course other people into wandlore will make wands, but Ollivanders is synonymous with wands. He’s known as the best wandmaker in the world. He has no competition in Britain.
I'm sure Dumbledore made sure Hagrid took Harry to Ollivander's. He knew his Phoenix had given two feathers to Ollivander and that Voldemort has a wand with one
About the last question, I remember that Hermione says that Magonagal came to her house to give Hermione her letter and to explain everything to her parents and show them around Diagon Alley
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.
Riley misread the word "faculty" as "facility".
I can't believe they got the author question right but not this! Idk why but to me this was an easy question.
@@PhilBagels Either that or there was an autocorrect issue on the submission end.
The way I always justified the answer to the last question is that A: Harry isn't muggle born, and B: Hagrid assumed Harry was told about his parents by the Dursleys, so naturally the rest of the staff thought he knew as well.
This is my appreciation comment on behalf of Riley continuing to nail the editing. Thanks, Riley, we appreciate you!
I think the Dumbledore title should have gone to Ben because he actually got the whole grand sorcerer title not just sorcerer. I feel he gets ripped off a bit like this, and never argues it.
Agreed
Also "mail courier" feels closer to "hand delivered by facility member" as a "courier" doesn't apply to just postal workers or a broader system like J put. At the very least I feel as though they tied this round
I'm always angry at J when he snatches the points when he shouldn't get any, but you're right, half of the time Ben loses points because he doesn't even try to argue. He just assumes he's wrong and J is right.
That’s cause J is a dirty cheater.
agreed! J always argues for himself but Ben doesn’t. i think that’s one of the reasons J wins more
When you have been watching so many J vs. Ben quizzes over the years, that you start recognizing the names of the patreons 😅
The last question reminds me of how Tom Riddle got his invitation to Hogwarts via Dumbledore
I laughed way too hard at how quickly J answered "funeral home" for what business he would use to launder money 🤣
Marge ate a funny whelk, its a sea snail you can buy and eat, they can be sold everywhere but most common is on the English coast. She was holidaying on the Isle of White which is a small island of the southern coast, made up of primarily coastlines. Its very plausible she ate it a few days before sending the postcard and was still feeling the ill effects but not as bad, we British people like sharing the misery especially if it had ruined our fun. She probably only went for the weekend so she may of been ill most of her time there so people had to know about it, Vernon, Petunia, Dudley and even the postman. :)
In the movies it doesn't say it but I DO remember reading about how a teacher or something would bring the muggle borna their letters and explain everything to help with the shock. I always assumed Harry got his letter through owl post only because Vernon and Petunia already knew about the wizarding world so I'm sure they thought Harry would as well (and even if they knew he didn't know his guardians still did so it wouldn't be a shock to them).
Like was mentioned in another thread it was sort of shown when Albus came to visit Riddle.
I love J's K-night bus t! Really enjoyed taking this quiz with you
I know I want it!
I was surprised the guys forgot there was a wizard stirring his tea without a wand by magic while reading a book by Steven Hawking...
Fun fact. He's listed as a warlock in the credits (doesn't appear in the books) so technically they didn't forget because TECHNICALLY there wasn't a wizard doing wandless magic
@@goblinpopcorn1367 could you imagine if Dumbledor studied Hawking? Or if Harry had been given a good education as a muggle? The spells they could have come up with or applications of the spells... Like using a shrinking charm on arteries instead of a whole person in a fight...
He was pointed out to me by a Tumblr thread, which jokingly speculated he could do wandless magic because he understood complicated physics, and therefore developed a higher understanding of how magic itself worked.
@@PerovNigma except wandless magic isn't exactly rare, wizards simply use them as a focus of sorts. They're far from *needed*
@@goblinpopcorn1367 Oh, that's clear from magical children doing odd things before going to Hogwarts. But intentional wandless magic is still an incredibly powerful feat. I can only think of one canon use of the top of my head, and that's from Grindelwald, in _Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them._
I imagine Marge's postcard was from some trip she went on and probably also said standard postcard stuff, like "Wonderfull weather in Mallorca" and that she ate something funny or foreign her body didn't agree with and was like "been stuck at the hotel all day" or "had to go home early", only Vernon didn't read the whole think out loud, but that's just my head canon.
She was vacationing on the Isle of Wight. I checked the book. She also ate a funny whelk (not fig), and I'm pretty sure that's what made her ill. Just thinking about eating a sea snail would make ME sick! LOL
@@jemma50 Oh, thanks. I probably had that in the back of my mind but didn't quite remember. Also knew that Mallorca bit was from where Vernon wanted to go shopping for a holiday home if he closed the deal in Chamber (right?) so I didn't know how much I was mixing things up and how much I was just fabricating stuff.
@@Blixthand 👍
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.
And we even got the story of how Dumbledore delivered it to Tom Riddle
Plus Petunia already knows about Hogwarts.
I think this was the first time I knew the answer to a question that they got wrong. The hand delivering of the letter by a staff member is something that definitely stuck with me, so I’m surprised they didn’t know it.
It's like when Ben forgot that the train leaves at 11
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.
The trivia quizes get more and more niche and specific haha
Can’t wait for The Ultimate Harry’s Glasses Quiz
@@thephony1651 Which spell did Hermione use on the first trainride to HOGWART?!???
Obvious statement is obvious
@@JennifuhhGilardi cool
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.
That's an interesting thought
@@limiv5272 thanks!
I love how much "funny fig" tickled Ben 😂
It was funny but I can't get it with the fact that it was a freaking whelk
I'm confused why they called it fig. Is it from some in joke between them? I even double checked, a welk is a snail.
@@Amatwigger they might have been thinking of their neighbor misses fig??
A facility memeber... like when Dumbledore gives Tom Riddle his letter and explain what Hogwarts is. Or when Snape tells Lily that a member of Hogwarts will come explain the situation to her parents.
Hagrid brought a Hogwarts letter to Harry and Dumbledore once did the same for a young Tom Riddle, so I think it's sort of implied that Hogwarts always sends a staff member to kids raised by Muggles, even if this isn't directly explained.
The wand question was very niche but it's in the books. Hagrig mentions the other wand maker's name but points out that everyone would still go out to Olivanders since his quality output is just higher.
It's been a couple of years since I read the books, but I found myself subconsciously humming "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" as soon as the question was asked. 🤔
There has to be a day that Ben forgot to leave the brick that holds the boor open to the Roof and had to call James to get him once.
Thanks for posting this today! It's my dad's birthday and we love to watch your Harry Potter videos while we eat our tea.
"marge is ill, ate a funny WHELK" i am screaming
I've had a long and tiring day and I was just about to give up but this revitalized me. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face
Same here this Chanel just has a way of bringing back smiles
I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere (whether in one of the books or on Pottermore) that McGonagall delivered Hogwarts letters to muggleborns to explain to the parents about magic.
Thats also why Dumbledore went to meet Tom Riddle in the orphanage.
The Marge is ill bit had me dying! Never thought about how ridiculous it is to tell someone you're sick via postcard.
The “funny fig” section of the video had me in stitches. Love your videos!
Tell Riley his hint was very helpful - I had the melody in my head and couldn’t put a title to it. 😄
For the final patreon question I love to imagine all muggle born students get their letters personally delivered by Hagrid.
If they do he took that job over from McGonagall at least according to movie flame
I found you guys 2 years ago when I moved from NC to OK. I have since watched every J vs ben! Now I've moved to TX and you guys are still a great source of sibling rivalry when I'm missing home.
5:40-5:44 I was drinking Gatorade and just sprayed it all over my screen and kayboard I was not expecting that at all 🤣🤣🤣
Love how everyone cites Snape telling Lily someone will come and explain to her parents about magic and Hogwarts as the most explicit source of the standard procedure with children brought up by muggles. It's not like we actually saw Dumbledore doing exactly that with young Tom Riddle xD
I love these J vs Ben videos!!!
Question, when did Ben start getting quote ideas from Matthew McConaughey?
"I was driving a Lincoln way before they paid me to." -Matthew McConaughey
"I was wearing meundies way before they sponsored our channel." -Ben Carlin
I had no idea what the answer for Vernon's singing would be, but I immediately recognized Ryan's tune (though I still thought I must be mishearing or something, because I still didn't believe the answer was Tiptoe Through the Tulips).
Barnes & Noble does seem like it would have a secret back room for Wizard books
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)
26:00 Marge ate a funny whelk. I think you were thinking of Mrs. Figgs.
The situation in which the postcard inception is still hilarious though
Major props to Riley's singing! I actually got it.
i live for these! thank you for your service.
yayyyy!!! thank you so much!!! Potter quizzes are my favorite!! anything Potter really. Watch all that you post multiple times. You guys are the GOAT of Potterverse!!!!!
apparently “pewter, standard, size 2” is lodged firmly somewhere in my
head because it immediately came
to mind
Same here
Yes I shouted this out loud when the question came up. I surprised myself!
Muggleborns get a member of the Hogwarts staff to come visit them and explain to both them and their parents that they are magical and there's a wizard school they can go to. I think Dumbledore just wanted to mess with the Dursely's
I started singing Tiptoe Through the Tulips when he hummed but doubted it was the actual answer lol
Rileys singing totally gave it away for me. Good job! 👏
Little fact. Pewter has a melting Point of ~170 - 230 °C while charcoal or wood burning produces a heat of about 1000°C. The cauldron would probably melt instantly. Though there may be some enchantments placed on it to make it more resistant to heat.
I always love me my SuperCarlinBrothers Harry Potter trivia videos. Im just sad that we’ll have to wait until next week for the next installment in the “what if Harry had been sorted into Slytherin” series 😭😭 I have been so excited for that all week!! But this will be great too
Agreed
Even before the second question finished I just screamed "Tiptoe through the tulips!" and ended up spilling my dinner! Hahaha!
I think for the question about how muggleborns get letters, the assumption was that Harry knew about magic already. Hagrid certainly seemed to think he did, and even if he didn’t, the Dursleys still did, so it would understandable to set an owl.
“I know how big letters should be” John Mulaney
30:32 Harry isn't muggle-born, he was just raised by muggles. That's why he got it the wizard-way
It blows my mind that they didn’t get Tiptoe Through the Tulips. That part stuck out to me so much as a kid, because I had no clue what the song was, that I asked my parents about what it was and my mom sang it to me 😂
Guys, my husband and I have just been trying to find out if it’s written differently in the ‘sorcerers’ stone. BUT in the Philosophers stone, Marge eats a funny ‘whelk’ not a fig! Please let me know if it’s different for you! I assumed they had kept everything the same except references to ‘philosopher’. Big fan, we love your quizzes!
No, it's still a whelk
Funfact: Pewter has a melting point of ~230°C while wood starts burning at around 300°C with up to ~1100°C
Oh I thought for sure that I learned about the professors delivering the letters to the Muggle born students from you guys. But Maybe I was wrong.
It is mentioned in one of the books that a professor hand delivers the letter to muggle born students to explain their parents about the wizarding world.
Remembering random things for the win🙌 as soon as Riley whistled the melody (good job by the way Riley) I was like "DUDE I KNOW THAT SONG! IT'S TIPTOE THROUGH THE TULIPS!
So so happy a new video is out and I'm finally early
I have been listening to the audiobooks on repeat for a few months… I can finish all seven books in a week, which is 100 hours worth (youtube video version).
I got a hundred percent, I did notice that the were basically questions about Diagon Ally shop. They didn’t ask the question about “what colour are the fastenings on the winter coats, only mentioned in the first letter.
Tip Toe through the Tulips was my answer before they even received multiple choices answers.
What channel do you listen to them on? I want to listen as well!
I was really hoping Uncle Vernon was singing Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up. Rick rolling Harry in the process.
Size two is directly related to Pencils in school. Always the Number 2 Pencil, naturally is a standard size two pewter cauldron.
Ha!! I knew the wand question 🎉😂
Thanks to a podcast I hear regularly analysing everything about HP 😄
About the Muggle-Born letter, yeah Harry is not Muggle-born, and Petunia already knew about Hogwarts. He's an exception.
But normally, Muggle-Born are hand delivered the letter by someone of the school, to explain the school, what it means, and explain to the parents about magic. See Tom Riddle with Dumbledore.
I love these videos
I have always been convinced it's " ate a funny whelk" that made more sense to me lol Thanks for bursting that bubble
You're correct
It is actually whelk, so you're correct. I have no idea where they got fig lol
@@theatropawood maybe Mrs. Figg, their neighbor
"always dr. lazerbeam"
"WHY CAN'T ANYONE REMEMBER GRANDPA SUSAN?!"
I wonder if Borgin and Burkes ever is mentioned a having a wand for sale? Seems the place one might be found!
About the delivery of the letter for muggle-born students, I think Harry got owl post because he wasn't muggle-born, plain and easy, and it's an automagic system. Hagrid was sent last minute because Harry wasn't receiving his letters and Dumbledore's plan relied on Harry going to Hogwarts.
The letter does say - Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore (Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorcerer, Chief Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confederacy of Wizards) - so Headmaster was there, but not the titles the question was probably asking.
P.S. I had to Google this, cause I didn't believe it either haha.
I immediately knew it from the Melody. Tiny Tim fan in the comment at least. Song is horror creepy though.
I have… never heard of Tiny Tim 😂😂. All of Britain seems to just know it by heart, unless that’s just my extended family
@@DeadBore I’m Dutch but I know him from a story that says he lost his ball or balls and thus could sing super high? And Tip Toe thru’ the Tulips is well known because despite it meant to be happy I it is used in horror movies for its creepy vibes. I think movies like IT.
@@samsteenbeeke fair enough, it is creepy
"No posts, no posts, no posts on Sundays!" 🎵🎶 What a great song!
Harry got the letter because he was signed up and in the zoo he finally showed signs of magical powers so the Hogwarts scroll finally signed him in too.
Nope
Like hagrid says, Harry's name has been in the book of acceptance since the day he was born
He got the letter because hogwarts knew his autny and uncle knew about the wizarding world and wouldn't need it explaining to them unlike a muggleborn who would get a teacher to show them diagon alley and explain everything (just like what hagrid did)
Harry was showing magic since he was an infant.
omg 6:56 AMAZING jig from Jonathan
25:58 "ate a funny whelk", 'funny' doesnt imply that it looked odd, it just means bad, but I like the idea of Marge irresponsibly eating dodgy looking seafood!
I didn’t know what song until you hummed it. My heart dropped. Insidious ruined it 🤣
I’ve never heard the tune of tiptoe through the tulips- but the singing actually gave it away for me somehow 😂 good clue!
No way, second video I’ve watched today and once again J is wearing the shirt I just got shipped to me lol
There is actually a wand shop mentioned in half blood prince, because pllivander has been taken. I only remember this because I'm rereading half blood prince for the 4th or 5th time.
lol his reaction when he said funeral home so quickly 🤣
Harry probably got the letter first because the dursleys were supposed to tell him he was a wizard as per Dumbledores original letter to them. So they assumed the letter to Hogwarts would make sense and they wouldn't need a representative .
Also I always took 'Adelbert wafflings' name as waffling on.. like pratteling on..when you go on and on about something. Kinda how professor binns did.
wait that's weird, why is the Fantastic Beast and where to find them book on a first year's reading list? Care for magical creature isn't available till 3rd year
There are 7 core classes, of which Astronomy didn't get their own text book, there are 8 books, of which Magical Theory make sense as an introduction reading to spell work for both charms and transfguration.

I think Hagrid being the one to deliver Harry’s letter was a “it seems the Muggles aren’t allowing the Mr. Potter to get his letters, and they would most curtain ignore if a normal person were to deliver his last letter. Lets send in the big guns, Hagrid.”
I mean sure they can jus use their magic, but Hagrid makes a statement, one that can not be ignored or hide, and Hagrid was most happy to make this deliver.
