Of course J.K. Rowling would have a racist door that requires you to say the forbidden word that is ending in a hard " R ". She can not keep getting away with this ! Something needs to be done ! That is why I will do absolutely nothing .
I like it because it encourages you to always stay sharp - if a group of students are stuck outside it means not only did they fail the riddle individually but they failed to work together to get the right answer. It would suck after a long day, but it offers the opportunity to sit down and just think - I love that.
I'm a ravenclaw, that doesn't automatically mean I'm good at riddles/puzzles "Ravenclaw? fancy a riddle?" stick it up your arse! I'd sooner blow up the door or fly up to the entrance to the tower than answer a riddle! There is alot more to being a Ravenclaw than just puzzles/riddles & smartness.

@@bestaround3323 It is still during the school period. If you were drinking during a holiday or festive occasion, that wouldn't be a problem. But a Ravenclaw, going on a drinking rampage until get wasted, until the dead of night, knowing full well that you won't be able to solve the riddle of the door because of it, doesn't seem very SMART to me. Besides, if you have done such a thing before, then you should have already sought to learn a spell to get sober again. Remember, the fact that Ravenclaw students are able to get in and out without any problems just shows to us that the riddles are pretty easy for those of the house. Failing at those is just skill issue.
And that is what made me immediately NOT want to be Ravenclaw while reading the books. The scenes of kids stuck outside the door, trying to figure out the current riddle, just so they could go to bed or grab their textbook or whatever. I highly value learning and intelligence but lord I would not want to be blocked from basic amenities based on if I could figure out a riddle quickly. Seems like the "smart" house would be smart enough to know that intelligence is shown in multiple ways, not just riddle pop quizzes. I'll be down in the dungeons happily in my bed, learning how to also disguise myself into an armchair in order to avoid unwanted guests.
I can imagine enough Ravenclaw kids go throught that door during the day and in the evening, so you will rarely have to open it yourself. And maybe the children share the answer to the riddle with each other every morning.
Yeah I said this in one if my other comments.. Ravenclaws aren't all puzzle/riddle geniuses, I love creating things...for instance I'm working on a storyboard of my HL MC mostly I'm quickly sketching on the back of receipts(&making the poachers much more vicious in combat). I don't mind some puzzles but riddles I hate...if it has nuance to it & you think of something unexpected that's okay. I also heavily dislike those stupid "99.9% of people will fail this test" or the number ones & you have some jackass saying no to every answer. As for that door I'd either use reducto or get peeves to annoy it so much that it let's me in Hehe he
I feel like we have similar energy, but I would be the one who answers the riddle easily and is secluded alone in the top of the tower pretending to be a coat rack or some shit.
And there's probably a smart-ass prankster who designed a few spells with completely ridiculous answers that absolutely no one would think of without a wild guess
He honestly got an easy riddle (I always go for the "word, not the concept" trick first because it's so common). The couple riddles we get in the books are extremely vague and the answers are hand-wavey at best
OK, automatic like just from the creative and hilarious sponsor segment. The sponsor got their money's worth and then some with your awesome animations and comedic dialogue. Oh yeah and the Ravenclaw content was good too.
It would be brilliant if normally the riddle has multiple choice and it contains the correct answer but after a few butterbeers it only contains wrong answers and you have to sleep in the hall 😂
I would argue that riddle is to open to have but a single answer and therefore unneccesary hard,especially as both variations are far harder to solve without pen and paper. Both the approach of going from "Few" to "Fewer" is correct, as well as counting the letters in "Three" and the Letters in "Five". Good riddles should have only one corret solution, not two that "somewhat" make sense.
I did in fact guess the answer to the riddle, but that would really be terrible to deal with. Maybe I should reconsider having Ravenclaw as my house...
the only thing that's stopping me from being a ravenclaw is the riddle part ...imagine answering a riddle everytime in order to get into the common room...that would be soo infuriating
Good thing that Ravenclaw's dorm is located in the tower, so you can just fly to the window and ask your roommates to let you in, or even just leave it open beforehand :D
I think all houses, except Slytherin have easy window acess (if you have a broom). Ravenclaw is up in a tower, same as Gryffindor, while Hufflepuff doesnt need a broom, im not sure if the windows are big enough. Infortunally the danger noodles have no luck unless they want to use the sewers to sneak in.
That Ravenclaw door riddle in Hogwarts Legacy ticks me off for one particular reason: the answer is obviously "Ghost"! The riddle is "Which lived longer, the Ghost or the Poltergeist?", right? Well, Poltergeists were never alive to begin with, but the Ghost was alive before they died, so the answer "Ghost" because they had actually lived at some point! Yet the game not only doesn't offer you the chance to actually solve the riddle, just has your character spout off cryptic nonsense that basically equates to "Trick question, neither were alive", like what?!
@archdemondemiurge5832 but the question is "which LIVED longer", as in past tense. The ghost was alive at one point, the poltergeist was not. Our character says that a non-being could NEVER have been, which is incorrect.
@@insertclevernamehere1186Nope, ghosts were never actually alive. They're not the soul stuck on earth, but an imprint left by the person upon death. Therefore neither poltergeists nor ghosts were ever truly alive.
@@HiThereImLily I forgot the writer's name, but he said that the soul was divided into two parts, the astral and aerial bodies. The Astral Body went to the afterlife, but the aerial body could remain in Earth. Basically the same concept as the Ba and Ka of Egypt.
CLEARLY the sorting hat is to blame. a child who goes out and gets wasted the night before classes, then tries to assault the door when he is too drunk to figure out a riddle (and with one of curses the wizarding world has banned) is no ravenclaw. this must have been an alternate dimension where crab or goyle ended up in ravenclaw instead of slytherin
Being drunk sounds not relatable but imagine this, you have the shittiest day ever, your coffee (or whatever keeps you awake assuming you aren't immune to caffeine for some reason), then you got paired against someone who chugged a whole bottle of Luck Potion and skipping that class means that you have to stay behind and getting chewed out by McGonagall. Then some prankster decided to use an ear plugging spell while you are trying to get a potion to work in a way that couldn't have possibly worked unless you have the Half Blood Prince book and you are SOL because you need to go to the bathroom but all of them are occupied save for the one with Myrtle. Does this sound ridiculous and mentally taxing unless you are unable to get a headache for whatever reason? Yes Can it happen in Harry Potter? Absolutely
Well they can ask another fellow Ravenclaw to answer it or enter it together when someone answer the riddle. There's many way to enter the common room if one use his/her wits and not just intelligence. That's the beauty of Ravenclaw, they need to think logically, creatively, and also plan for everything.
I see this as a win win. I love riddles, and the dorms would be quieter. But I guessed your riddle, and have worked a summer camp. Absolutely this is a failcheck for sobriety.
I've always assumed the riddles were supposed to be pretty easy, given by a being able to provide hints or substitute riddles. And it's not like a Ravenclaw during most of the school's history couldn't use one of the other common rooms for basic amenities. This stuff was designed in-setting for flavour reinforcing house themes, not actual security.
Just transfigure the door into a piece of cheese or something, haul a floo in there, and stop worrying about it. Worst case just get a Time Turner and just paradox your way past the door every day. Think smarter, not harder, anyone wasting time spent studying magic on riddles or finding their keys is obviously insecure about the former, and is thinking more like a Griffindor than a Ravenclaw, and should be spoken to very slowly in words of less than two syllables accordingly.
@@aprinnyonbreak1290 Maybe the Ministry of Magic forbade the former when Umbridge was a teacher and the latter doesn't work when the Gryffindors/Hufflepuffs drained all of the Time Turner reserves to save the world
Reading the Harry Potter books as a young child, I wondered this very thing. It's good to see someone express it in video form. Also, this was one of your best ads to date.
The riddles are said to be logically based. So, if you overthink it, you will have a hard time since you have to think logically. It is more common for people to guess randomly than it is to analyze what the door is saying. Often riddles will have simple answers or multiple answers, you just don't think about it. Have to think outside of the box as seen. So, the door forces its inhabitants to gain a logical mindset and to have Ravenclaw traits, despite the downsides, I give the creator of the door credit. Although, someone inside can open the door for people outside and it is said that people tend to guess the riddles in groups.
Door riddles are why I figured I was too dumb for ravenclaw and defaulted to hufflepuff 🤷🏼♀️ I mean if it was this easy it’s fine but I don’t think it was this easy in the books.
I keep seeing Ravenclaw being the House that no one comes to the aid of. "You'd think that it would be Slytherin but no, it turns out no one likes know-it-alls, even in the wizarding world and here we have an entire wing filled with them... and a know-it-all door! Everyone likes the Hufflepuffs but we Ravenclaw kids are TOLERATED because it's sometimes useful to have a know-it-all you can ask about stuff before going right back to ignoring them!"
Does the door have a keyhole? I mean could you try to let someone open the door from the inside by casting imperio through the keyhole on him? And maybe you could modify the door to create a keyhole for you if you give a specific Codewort as an answer to a riddle.
Apart from being annoying, he house doors are terrible security. The gryffindor door is opened by saying a password. Out loud. In a hallway everyone is allowed in. Anyone could enter the Gryffindor room by just lurking in the hallway until someone has to say the password out loud to enter. Im sure they could use magic to make a door that only opens when a student of the house stands in front of it. Or just hang up a portrait of a guy with great memory and tell it "these are the new students, let em in for the next seven years"
Am I the only one screaming the answer to each riddle at my computer monitor while the drunk guy answers wrong over and over? I guess that online quiz I took forever ago was right and I'm a Ravenclaw.
same!! i always got sorted into either gryffindor or hufflepuff, but i got both of these riddles right away. either they're too easy or i need to retake the hogwarts house quiz lol
In the same universe where Ravenclaws are getting locked out because they can't solve riddles there are Hufflepuffs locked out because they have no rhythm.
@@khaosklub Someone else let me know in their comment and I think I got it but it doesn't make 100% sense (like many riddles) so I'm not sure. Edit: actually what you said is a little different than what they said so I'm sure it's right now. [space for spoiler] I think it's the word "few" because it's 3 letters and adding 2 more makes fewer.
The real issue of this door isn't that people in the house can't get in, it's that people outside the house can just figure out the riddle and get in uninvited. The security to the other houses isn't foolproof either, you can just eavesdrop the password or persuade someone to tell it, but at least you have to go through some effort to get it
As a Ravenclaw myself, I beg to differ! There's a reason I'm a programmer living to go through hours of code just to find one wrong letter that breaks the whole webpage (Yes, it's literally my job to scan a webpage source code for mistakes)
Matthew, I'd love to see you write a followup story, where a deaf student joins Ravenclaw, and is allowed to enter without answering the riddle, because he can't hear it, while everybody else has to figure out the riddle.
this door needs to be a recurring character. I don't know how the fuck you'd manage it, but like a riddle to get to your own bed, you need to figure it out.
You can answer the riddle with anything as long as it’s within reason and makes sense logically there isn’t a definite answer to each riddle that MUST be said to enter

Tell the giant man eating spiders hi!~
Seriously tho have that wand nearby when you sleep out their
i'm so glad im subscribed to this channel. mega underrated creator.
Reading the Harry Potter books as a young child, I wondered this very thing. It's good to see someone express it in video form.
Also, this was one of your best ads to date.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
NOT THE RIDDLES
AVADA KADABRA!!!!
*kadavera
@@DeltaDubs89 *kedavra
When the ad is just as good as the actual video. Mad respect!
"Hey, door, I've got a riddle for you. When is a Jack also a Johnny?"
I've never seen an ad segment be the best part of the video hahaha, that was gold... and also magic
I really wanted him to go "Aaaarrrrgh" and just have the door open
The riddles are said to be logically based. So, if you overthink it, you will have a hard time since you have to think logically. It is more common for people to guess randomly than it is to analyze what the door is saying. Often riddles will have simple answers or multiple answers, you just don't think about it. Have to think outside of the box as seen.
So, the door forces its inhabitants to gain a logical mindset and to have Ravenclaw traits, despite the downsides, I give the creator of the door credit. Although, someone inside can open the door for people outside and it is said that people tend to guess the riddles in groups.
I suspect that this Ravenclaw might be submitting a request to join Hustlepuff soon.
At first I was offended at the title because I am a Ravenclaw...but after watching the video, I now can't argue lol
Yeah, I'll be so screwed if I was in Ravenclaw. I am generally bad with riddles; I don't even have to be drunk to get them wrong.
That Bees line made me think of Magic Schoolbus
Would be so fun to see a video with hufflepuffs door, or some guy being dumbfounded by all the magic
The sponsor content could have been its short own video, that was hilarious!
Congratulations, you successfully got me to not skip through the sponsorship for the first time ever.
Ive always been placed in ravenclaw but Im absolutely terrible at riddles
Actually you can be smart and bad at riddles at the same time
Still better than clicking on images of traffic lights or motorcycles
Door riddles are why I figured I was too dumb for ravenclaw and defaulted to hufflepuff 🤷🏼♀️
I mean if it was this easy it’s fine but I don’t think it was this easy in the books.
Imagine being a ravenclaw but sucks at riddles so bloody badly lol
İt's me
Omg I can't believe i can buy a magical ring
Many dark wizards were born this way.
That riddle was fun now I want another one.
Screw it, I'm spending the night in Hagrid's hut
I keep seeing Ravenclaw being the House that no one comes to the aid of.
"You'd think that it would be Slytherin but no, it turns out no one likes know-it-alls, even in the wizarding world and here we have an entire wing filled with them... and a know-it-all door! Everyone likes the Hufflepuffs but we Ravenclaw kids are TOLERATED because it's sometimes useful to have a know-it-all you can ask about stuff before going right back to ignoring them!"
Or use a sliterin to help figure out a alternate means, cunning is sometimes the better or all knowing
Does the door have a keyhole? I mean could you try to let someone open the door from the inside by casting imperio through the keyhole on him? And maybe you could modify the door to create a keyhole for you if you give a specific Codewort as an answer to a riddle.
Found the Slytherin.
The door is sentient lady. If it has a keyhole and I'm drunk, I'm fucking that keyhole.
Drunk Me would adore solving a riddle like an escape room.
The Harry Potter cartoon that I always wanted
Now imagine you finally get it right but two certain Dark Brotherhood assassins try and pull the oldest trick in the book
This and flashgitz gotta be the only sponsor skits I enjoy. Lmao
I'm a door. How can you kill a door? What a grand and intoxicating innocence.
Apart from being annoying, he house doors are terrible security. The gryffindor door is opened by saying a password. Out loud. In a hallway everyone is allowed in.
Anyone could enter the Gryffindor room by just lurking in the hallway until someone has to say the password out loud to enter.
Im sure they could use magic to make a door that only opens when a student of the house stands in front of it. Or just hang up a portrait of a guy with great memory and tell it "these are the new students, let em in for the next seven years"
loved the sponsor segment strangely enough
I'd commit warcrimes if I were a ravenclaw.... thank fuck im dumb as hell lmao
Best sponsorship I've ever seen, I actually had to rewind it to watch it again 😂
"Did you say..._beeeeees?_" I love how she says it XD
Am I the only one screaming the answer to each riddle at my computer monitor while the drunk guy answers wrong over and over? I guess that online quiz I took forever ago was right and I'm a Ravenclaw.
@@LTNetjakis the answer to the first one r?
@@elima5646 Yes, it is.
@@arandomcheese ok, thanks
same!! i always got sorted into either gryffindor or hufflepuff, but i got both of these riddles right away. either they're too easy or i need to retake the hogwarts house quiz lol
That riddle is brilliant.
When you thought the Gryfindors were having it worst with their entrance
(insert answer to the last riddle here)
answer is "few". another way of asking the riddle to make it obvious is, a three letter word that when you add two letters become fewer.
I couldn't even make out the second riddle
@Top Hat the audio for it was a bit off. Had to rewind and use context to understand the first few words.
@@ZevTor Thank you I misheard the riddle and thought it was "I am a word of letters 3 AND 2 and fewer there will be".
@@ZevTor Thanks, I was stuck thinking along the lines of numbers where +2 would make it shorter.
Hufflepuff soaks you in vinegar if you knock their password out of rhythm
In the same universe where Ravenclaws are getting locked out because they can't solve riddles there are Hufflepuffs locked out because they have no rhythm.
Hey I guessed it. What was the second riddle? I wanna try it but I couldn't make out the beginning.
I'm a word of letters 3, add 2, and FEWER there will be
@@khaosklub Someone else let me know in their comment and I think I got it but it doesn't make 100% sense (like many riddles) so I'm not sure.
Edit: actually what you said is a little different than what they said so I'm sure it's right now.
[space for spoiler]
I think it's the word "few" because it's 3 letters and adding 2 more makes fewer.
@@asahearts1 That wasn't what I was thinking, but that makes a whole lot more sense.
@@vecghul2793 What was your idea?
@@asahearts1 Your answer is correct
The real issue of this door isn't that people in the house can't get in, it's that people outside the house can just figure out the riddle and get in uninvited. The security to the other houses isn't foolproof either, you can just eavesdrop the password or persuade someone to tell it, but at least you have to go through some effort to get it
I actually figured out the riddle , reason why I love Ravenclaw! XD
So that's why there's no remarkable ravenclaw villains. They probably got locked themselves somewhere.
Took me looking at captions to understand what she said
Few
As a Ravenclaw myself, I beg to differ! There's a reason I'm a programmer living to go through hours of code just to find one wrong letter that breaks the whole webpage (Yes, it's literally my job to scan a webpage source code for mistakes)
Everyone in that house is getting these hands
Matthew, I'd love to see you write a followup story, where a deaf student joins Ravenclaw, and is allowed to enter without answering the riddle, because he can't hear it, while everybody else has to figure out the riddle.
this door needs to be a recurring character. I don't know how the fuck you'd manage it, but like a riddle to get to your own bed, you need to figure it out.
OK, the sponsored bit was brilliant.
You can answer the riddle with anything as long as it’s within reason and makes sense logically there isn’t a definite answer to each riddle that MUST be said to enter
I love how the door literally says the answer for the second one xD
For me I'd get too pissed off and just fly my broomstick through the fuckin window
According to Pottermore I'm a Ravenclaw, and I would hate that.
The ring in the promo is magic, it was on one finger one second and a different finger the next.
Very deep lore this. Well done mate. 👏
Damn. I've never watched any of your content, but this video autoplayed on the day Sir Michael Gambon (Professor Dumbledore) passed away. May he rest in peace.
When that official house test told me I was a Ravenclaw I thought "yay I can be with Luna!" Then I saw this vid and regret it completly
I'd take a riddle book with me at all times. work smarter not harder. Yes Ravenclaw.
I bet you could get in with a Hadouken!
Sometimes the door will just let them in for trying
Im not a riddle smart so ill just gotta grab all my stuff and a sleeping bag and just sleep in the hufflepuff lol 😅
