    I knew that Merlin was in the Harry Potter folklore, but for me, I know and am more familiar with his version portrayed by the TV-series produced by BBC. Granted, it has its problems but in my opinion, it's one of the better versions, as far as I can tell.
    There, Merlin had a normal human mother but his father was a Dragonlord (they had the ability to commune with the Dragons). Merlin had also another name, more ancient, prophesied by the witches and wizards of old. He becomes a servant in the court of Uther Pendragon, Arthur's father but has to hide his magical abilities, since the witch-hunt, if you will, is full on.
    Much more happens as well in the series, and although I'm not entirely happy with some changes and alterations, it did a good job! I kinda recommend it, it's all good and fun.

    Merlin is according to my favorite theory based on a real historical person, a Welsh bard called Myrddin Wyllt (Myrddin the Wild) who fought in the battle of Arfderydd and after the very bloody defeat and victory of two warlords he considers beyond cruel, fled to the forest and lived in the wild, where he received a gift of prophecy and became known as a seer (a Welsh word for a seer is dryw = druid).
    Despite living in woods, Merlin lives in certain luxury thanks to his sister Gwendydd, who is the wife of king Rodarcus. Rodarcus tests the accuracy of Merlins prophecies and after he predicts that the same boy dies in three different ways (tripping on rock, trapped by tree, drowning in river), he dismisses Merlin as a mad man, until the child truly trips on a rock, what causes him to fall into a river where he drowns and his body is later found trapped in a fallen tree across the river. After that, Rodarcus begins to respect Merlin and has a huge house with many windows to watch the stars build for him in the middle of forest, ordering 70 scribers to follow Merlin and writing down everything he says. He himself often search advice from Merlin and so do many kings and leaders. Merlin is believed to be closely associated with druidic religion, who through his prophecies and actions often tried to trick, deceive and manipulate the political situation in certain way, and who, to his own sadness, predicted the defeat of Britons by Saxons (the prophecy about two dragons -the white one representing Saxons taking over the red one representing Wales).

    I was always fascinated by the oldest story, of Myrddin, before Geoffrey of Monmouth fused him with Aurelius. It's actually believable! He was a soldier who lost his mind in the midst of battle and fled into the woods, not talking for years, living as a hermit. He eventually became completely attuned to the forest, and when he finally started talking to people it was with great wisdom and compassion from his years of suffering and wrestling with what we'd now call PTSD to work his way through to the other side. That he was also alleged to have uncanny powers fits with the kind of shamanic journey that he underwent.

    In Jack Whyte's 'The Arthurian Tales' his take on Merlin explores his entire life from beginning to end and how instrumental he was in the rise of Camelot and rearing of Arthur. Fantastic series. Basically the reason that Merlin gained his reputation as a wizard was because he was SOO much smarter than everyone else at that time, so it was the only explanation the average person had.

    To hell with these awful Fantastic Beast movies, what the Harry Potter Universe needs is a high budget series with competent writers (that are actual fans of the Universe) that tell us stories like these. Imagine the following stories as a Netflix show:
    - Proper retelling of the Harry Potter saga that’s fully faithful to the books.
    - The story of Dumbledore and his battle against Grindelwald (not drawn out with useless subplots like in Fantastic Beasts).
    - The creation of Hogwarts and the houses with Godric, Rowena, Helga and Salazar.
    - The story of the Marauders.
    - Voldemorts youth and rise to power.
    - The creation of Ilvemorny with Ysolt.

He did it and told her of a spell that could trap someone into a jail made out of her. Vivian, deeply in love with Merlin, and so jealous that she was afraid that he would go out with another woman, waited till he fell asleep and trapped Merlin into that air jail.

    You said in the start that Dumbledore used it to express surprise. I don't recall to have heard it from Dumbledore, but I have a few other scenes in mind where other wizards have used the phrase, in surprise. Wizards in mind are Slughorn, Arthur Weasely, and Amus Diggory. Slughorn uses the phrase frequently through the story of the Half Blood Prince. From where Dumbledore and Harry meets Slughorn the first time, through the film, also in flashback later, where we see how Slughorn had a conversation with Tom Riddle in the past. In The order of the Phoenix, we hear Arthur Weasly say: "Merlin's beard", as Kingo just sneaks into the elevator in the Ministery, telling that the time of Harry's hearing have just been changed, (hindering Harry and Dumbledore in particular, I'm sure, to attend to it in the first place) And in The Goblet of fire, we hear Amos Diggory express "Merlin's beard" when he meets Harry Potter the first time. Those three scenes from throughout the franchise, are the ones I can come to think of, on my sitting rear end.

    Merlin couldn't have been a muggle-born because he was sorted into Slytherin, I believe that he was a half-blood as his father is called a "demon or incubus" and we know that the muggles of that time viewed witches and wizards as something demonic, and his mother is the daughter of the king of Northumberland, someone of that high status are closely observed hence if she would have been a witch then the people would have known, but even if we assume that the commoners didn't notice, the king and the queen must have and I think they would disown or kill her while still a child as they would have realized that the people will notice her abilities someday and that could cause a rebellion.

    In Welsh, the double D (dd) is pronounced like the English hard 'th', as in the word 'the'. Just thought you'd like to know. Historically speaking, Merlin, like Arthur, probably dates from the 5th century AD, just after the Romans left Britain. If I recall correctly, there are Welsh tales of that period that mention both Merlin and Arthur. Mary Stewart's Merlin series of books, which starts with 'The Crystal Cave', uses what little we know of the historical Merlin as a jumping-off point.

      Exactly. The video creator should stick to Harry Potter lore - he mentioned the real life legend of Merlin lived in 11th to 12th century. A few years ago the British History podcast did a great episode on the legend of King Arthur and the "Battle of Badon".

    I always believed that Merlin was somehow related to Slytherin based upon his real legends. Possibly the child of Slytherin himself but did not agree with his father's ideas and was more drawn to Gryffindor and Hufflepuff in how they thought about muggles. He would have used his ambition, resourcefulness, determination, and cleverness to bring the magical world together with the non magical world.

    It's very interesting that Merlin was in slithering considering that most people say there's not a witch or wizard that went bad that wasn't in Slytherin when Merlin is like pretty good dude it seems

      I'm going to preface this by saying it's been a while since I read the books, but I'm pretty sure Ron's the only one who said that, and he was 11 at the time. Going off the lore, every house in Hogwarts has produced dark wizards (Hufflepuff having the fewest).
      Also, there's still a difference between the statements "every dark wizard was in Slytherin" and "every Slytherin becomes a dark wizard". It the same difference as the statements "Every square is a rectangle" (True: as a rectangle is a geometric shape with four sides all connected at 90 degree angles) and "every rectangle is a square" (False: as to be considered a square, all four sides must be the same length)

    It's interesting that Merlin was such a strong believer that the muggle and wizarding worlds should co-exist yet he was actually in Slytherin at his time at Hogwarts :0

    Would be cool to have a movie of merlins time threw Hogwarts, showing his story as a young wizard in the Harry Potter universe while also showing the school in its earliest years.

    I actually had a very sweet dog named Merlin. When we got him that was the name he was already given because of his bright Green crystal eyes - we kept it. It fit him. He passed July 19, 2021. I miss my sweet majestic boy. He had a power to make anyone love him. When we put him down, the vet (who's not supposed to cry) did end up shedding tears with us when we had to put him down.
    Merlin = Magic.

    Watching this video was super interesting, even though it conflicts heavily with one of my favorite shows, BCC'S Merlin. I've always thought that Merlin pre-dated Hogwarts and more modern advancements such as the latin spells and defined departments of magical education. It's so interesting how a person can be so disctintly different in each tale about them.

    Fan theory : His mother was a muggle, his father was a Dragonlord and he was "cursed" or "infused" with the essence of a demon during the pregnancy. He has wizard magic cuz he's Muggleborn. And all that is why he's so op.

    While King Arthur was a boy, he was home-schooled, and Merlin at the time acted as: "teacher" to him. Up in the tower, in Arthur's childhood home. In a room that was called: the library. A big fine owl bird was the mascot at the time. (Worked as assistant letter pigeon as well). Also Merlin's great wizard's book was out and open at that time, during the whole lesson indoors. Merlin also showed the boy King Arthur the big world out there too, as part of his teaching. And also taught him the legends of the great Mythical Beasts. (Like e.g. The dragons).

    I doubt that Merlin was muggleborn considering Slytherin's views on those. He was most likely Half-blood.
