    The last time I was this early, Voldemort was still answering to the name "Tom Riddle" and hadn't made any horcruxes yet! We know from Grindelwald's hope that the Resurrection Stone could help him create "an army of inferi" that they pre-dated Voldy.

    I don't think you're really looking in the right place, and I don't think the original inventor of the inferi is something that would go down in history. Unlike the Basilisk, Dementors or Horcruxes, Inferi arent their own unique dark creation, but rather the natural, albeit extremely morbid, endpoint for animation magic. Really the only difference between Mcgonagall awakening the castle decorations to defend Hogwarts and the inferi in the cave is that Voldemort is using a much more complicated and taboo medium

    I'm not sure who might've created the first one but im inclined to believe harry is right about becoming one if he was drowned. My idea is that after the curse was initially set up by Voldemort it could be kept running off of the horrorcrux at it's center. like a power source for renewable dark energy or maybe just an artifact that contained the dark lord's will to keep up the curse

    • @gregorydamario7977
      @gregorydamario7977 2 роки тому

      How would the horcrux be an energy source for RENEWABLE dark energy? In any sane explanation of such, dark energy would need to be renewed, recharged or enervated by a power that itself increased from an outside source. From whence derives the renewing energy? What is this mystical outside source? Dark energy, as probably completely misunderstood by Cosmetologists (:, is an unexplained repulsive force that pushes everything away. Galaxy clusters flee before it. Were dark energy to be significantly locally renewed, the H2O in the lake and the Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen (plus insignificant pollutants) of the Inferi, would have been dispersed as a noxious and flammable gas with the unfortunate result that Dumbledore's flaming wand trick would have instigated a significant fuel air explosion. That would have resolved Voldemort's future problems but would also have reduced the Harry Potter saga to a shortened and unsatisfying end. Therefore, I think we can confidentially eliminate renewing dark energy from the plot. I suspect Rowling anticipated this as well so eliminated its presence in the narrative.

      The inverse would be that voodoo magic comes from some muggles seeing real magic and trying desperately to imitate it.
      In another video it’s suggested Avada Kedavra comes from Abra Kedabra - I think that’s the inverse too. The curse would have been so notorious that some muggles might even have overheard wizard’s hushed whispers about it - but without the context to know what it is, just that it’s apparently a magic incantation.

    One thing I like about The HP world is all the implied mystery of magic from around the world. We see magical history through the European lens and the how they’re type of magic is constructed, but there has to be multiple other spells and origins of spells and curses that are lost or easily altered in Magic’s history. Like muggle history isn’t perfect so I’d have to think human wizards follow a similar pattern, such as repressing goblins and house elves to being inferior that how magic and spells came into being would be debated intensely.

    Well if we combine real life mythology (assuming for a second that the events of our world translate to good degree to the fictional muggle world), I would assume that the first inferi were created in ancient Mesopotamia. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, the goddess Ishtar promises to raise the dead and this is the oldest account of the walking undead in fiction/mythology. I would like to believe that Ishtar wasn't a real goddess but in actually an ancient Dark Witch in the Harry Potter Universe, who created the first inferius. It would also be interesting to have powerful dark witch roaming around at one point as most notable Dark wizards are men and would mix things up a bit. So I would date it back so far. Since her time, it is likely that several dark wizards, like Godelot and Ekrizdis created their own Inferi, though no one was ever as successful as she had been until Voldemort, who might have surpassed her in his quest to push the boundaries of magic further than anyone before (it is unlikely that he was solely talking about his immortality when he said that, seeing his other abilities).
    With Grindelwald, I always got the idea that he was able to create them but not to the degree he wanted. He wanted a true army of the undead, that would fight for him but likely also could follow strategy and what not. He might have been able to re-animate a few corpses (there were mentions of his twisted experiments at Durmstrang, so he likely might have tried his hand on necromancy with small animals in these days) and give them pretty basic instructions but nothing to the point that they were useful for his cause. In my mind, he likely wasn't able to create enough (as it likely is quite exhausting magic) and he didn't had the control he wanted. With the Resurrection Stone, he might have been able to amplify his abilities in this field.
    With Voldemort, I do get the feeling he found a way to curse the lake into an Inferi factory (which is why I would think he might have surpassed Ishtar, if she really was the original creator). The spell itself must have been hard to perform but once in place, it would work itself. And I feel the resurrection process was the hardest part as the imprinted instruction in the Inferi is quite simple: if anyone touches the water, kill them and if anyone tries to summon the horcrux, block it. Another interesting thing about the Inferi lake, is the amount of bodies. I'm under the impression, he couldn't have done this alone and got help from other wizards and witches. They helped him kill and collect those muggles and once he believed he had enough, he killed the hired help as well, ensuring more corpses for the lake as well as keeping his true objective and the cave as a whole a secret...

      @@edopronk1303 Thank you. My first thought for my theory was some ancient or medieval wizard being the first but then I decided to look up if I could find the oldest possible mention of zombies/undead and I came across a passage from the Epic of Gilgamesh which would be the first mention. The idea that is the oldest known source that mentioned the undead and specifically spoke of "raising the dead", made it perfect to be linked to Harry Potter Universe in general and to the Inferi in particular.
      The reason why I would re-imagine Ishtar in this context as a dark witch, is because I don't feel like gods and truely divine beings would really work in the Harry Potter universe. Therefore, I am more inclined that most gods, prophets and saints in the muggle world, would have been wizards and witches (in the HP Universe).

    I don't think that someone named Godelot would be a dark wizard. The name is a diminutive form of names all containing root god- and something positive. That's not a name for someone dark and vile. Godelot's decision not to include more info on horcruxes and his choice of book's name (Magick Moste Evil) are two more arguments against him being truly dark wizard. This sounds like a work of someone trying to warn others against the dangers of the dark magic, not someone intent on teaching it. This might also be a reason for why it was included in Hogwart's Library.
    Yes, Godelot was a master of the Elder Wand, but that doesn't mean he absolutely had to kill in order to become one, simple Expelliarmus is enough as we've seen in Half-blood Prince.
    Last but not least - yes, he is described as being "unpleasant character", but that doesn't mean he really was dark wizard - he might've been just a little bit of an asshole. Or he might've stared into the abbyss for too long and it stared back into him, staining him and making him unpleasant, not the other way around.
    This being said, I think that Emeric the Evil might be a better candidate for a title of inferi creator. The hint is already there :) .
    Another candidate might be Herpo the Foul (I can imagine the proces to be really nasty, so it might have be a reason for his label).
    I will leave you with a question though. What if the creator of inferi was Antioch Peverell? It would fit together nicely with the overall theme of death of the Hallows. Or maybe the Stone of Resurrection was a part of the ritual that created them (this would not rule Herpo out though, he still could be the creator of inferi but use more complicated way that was just simplified with stone and more powerful wand).

  • @lordbyronkeith9488

    I've often theorized that the person(s) Voldemort killed to create the horcrux in the locket (and perhaps the other other horcrux) was in fact the first of the Inferi. Also that it was not the Inferi themselves who enacted the curse but was instead the lake.
    First kill the person you wish to use in the ritual to create your first horcrux. Then perform your enchantment to charm the lake and curse its waters to purify, preserve, reanimate, and bind any "deceased" body that fell into under your control. From there every poor unfortunate soul who would be dragged beneath the lake's surface would instantly become a new Inferi to add to your ever growing protective army.

    At least that's what I would do if I was a dark witch/wizard.

      In Harry Potter the difference between soul and body really matters a lot. A person is basicly the soul, the body is just a shell to live on earth. The power of the resurrection stone is so significant because it can bring people back that have "moved on". Normally a soul can not completly exist on earth once it has passed the great door called death.
      An inferius is the opposite. The soulless body is reused by an other witch or wizard, the shell serves now an other purpose. I mean one should not really care if he becomes an inferi since the soul is detached from the body in death and has moved on to another place. It's like dangling a corpse on ropes except it's magic.
      I think this is the difference between the resurrection stone and inferi. Although it's possible that the first ever inferi was invented accidentally by Cadmus Peverell in an attempt to bring back the dead.

    I'm guessing Ekrisdis made dementors and inferi cause he wished to become immortal but didn't know how to make a horcrux. So he would end up attempting either to make a bootleg horcrux or trying to find a way to preserve his soul or body in a manner that could still influence the living world. Inferi were the body part of it while dementors were the twisted and mangled souls, he ideally wanted both for obvious reasons but never quite managed it (if he managed it, then he would probably still be around or there would be a story about a wizard managing to kill him). Ekrisdis either died before he could perfect the means of basically becoming a lich or desperately tried the experiments on himself as he found his life fading and ended up becoming another dementor (losing his identity in the process).

      Also, my theory is that Ekrizdis may have actually been the first dementor.
      Think about it. He literarly behaved like a dementor: reciwving pleasure from the suffering and despair he imbued into his victims.
      What if his experiments lead him to discover a spell that would allow him to become an immortal being capable of surviving purely and literarly by sucking the happiness and souls out of people? I'm sure he'd love that.
      On top of that, dementors reproduce asexually, meaning that even one dementor could have, in theory, spawned every single dementor in existance today.

    simply because that makes no sense, there must have been others that reached the cave that didnt make it to the horcrux

      That's not entirely accurate. RAB only stole the locket because house elf magic by breaks the rules of magic, however he was killed by the cave.
      The main flaw with the cave however is that it assumes anyone who went to the cave would do so alone, part of voldemort's hubris. RAB got the locket out because he relied on Kreature to do that bit of the job. Harry and Dumbledore got the fake locket out because they worked together. Each precaution is effective, but is defeated by team work.
      Obviously there's then the army of inferni, and I can't think of many wizards besides Dumbledore, who would've been able to escape that.

    I have a theroy about the water. It can be that water is cursed, but it creates only "low quality" Inferi, that can perform only few/simple tasks (like - drown anyone who touches the water) and also has damaged bodies. But you can create Inferi, that are almost undistinguishable from living people (except from the cloudy eyes) and can perform more/complicated tasks (yet still not at the level of living person). There might be some problems with this so if you see some, please point them.
    I also had my own theory, about who and how created them, but when you mentioned Godelot, it fell apart, because Godelot lived most probably before Ekrizdis and it's also probable, that the spell was in that book (and he would surely wanted to put his own spell there).

      That is a good question, and I think the answer to that is something like this.
      We know from the series that it is possible to perform magic at Hogwarts, but that the school and its grounds have a spell on them that keeps anyone from apparating there. Most likely, Voldemort put a similar spell on the cave, so that magic would work in general, but preventing specific spells that would help anyone bypass the obstacles and traps protecting the horcrux hidden there. Thus, Harry and Dumbledore were able to cast spells on the inferi that attacked them, but they couldn't bypass the door that demanded blood or the lake, couldn't Vanish the poison in the basin, and Harry couldn't summon the horcrux or provide Dumbledore with water using magic.

I always assumed he saw the stone as a way to streamline the process and get far more of them than he was able to produce by his own power. I would assume that he could create Inferi, just not as many as he would have wished.
    Also, if I remember correctly, the statement about Grindelwalds interest in the stone is about the yound Grindelwald, it would be entirely possible that he figured it out later in life.

    In regards the lake inferi, I think Voldemort enchanted the water to create inferi from those who were dragged into the water by the horde.
    It would have been a long and complicated process, with many enchantments and some completed potions, though it would make sense for someone like Voldemort to create such a body of water.
    It would be a good way to replace inferi who had become too damaged to be of any use, as well as would give him grim satisfaction that any intruders would suffer such a fate.
    That, and it could prove to be a vicious psychological tactic; be it for any surviving witnesses, or any companions of the deceased who would also seek out the cave.

    I have a strong feeling that the process of creating an Inferius involves being the one who personally murders the person for this purpose. Harry's idea that being dragged to death into the infested lake would result in himself becoming one more Inferius might well be a fantasy induced by fear - of course he's super brave but not feeling fear in that situation would be insane. One of the reasons why I think that creating an Inferius requires murdering that person, is that otherwise, as morbid as it might sound, Inferi could be used for good purposes as well. I would not mind my deceased body being used to perform some dangerous task meant for a good purpose and sparing someone who is alive a high risk of dying, or even a certainty or nearly so.

    I have a theory about the cave. I believe the cave had already been used before Tom Riddle by another dark wizard. I think dark wizard killed some muggles and turned them into different dark creatures and one of them was the inferí. He became known to the ministry so he decided to hide his inferí in a cave near a muggle village. To make sure his inferí never left the cave he created a small pond and gave them the instructions to guard. He planned to return to the cave should he need to hide but was captured but was killed he changed himself into a fish and hid in a fish bowl and a cat ate him. No but seriously, i feel that Tim Riddle was attracted to the cave because it already had seen dark magic. I think the lake was already there but not as big and i think there was already an inferí guarding it. I think he found it, then used animals to see what would happen and then he took the two orphans because he wanted to scare them and told an animal or a snake to go to the edge of the pond to watch them. He then told them to not get on his bad side or tell lies about him or else maybe they wanted to visit here again. I think the waters were much smaller though, and only 1 or 2 inferí and the entrance to the cave was easier to find by wizards.

Then how is it that Regulus realised that it was a Horcrux that Voldemort had hidden in the cave? Secondly, how did Regulus manage to find a locket similar to the one that Voldemort had made into a Horcrux without having seen it before Kreacher took him there? Is it possible that Kreacher described the locket’s appearance to Regulus?
    2) In Deathly Hallows, when Voldemort realises that Harry, Ron & Hermione are hunting Horcruxes, he decides to check whether his Horcruxes are safe. When he reaches the lake, how come he finds the basin filled with the potion when Dumbledore had already drank and emptied it? Secondly, he himself does not have to drink the potion, he simply turns it into a clear liquid by magic. Could’nt Dumbledore have managed to do the same magic and turned the potion into a clear harmless liquid instead of drinking it?

      If it requires great feeling or hatred, Snape probably did hate strong enough. He would have hated having had to make that promise to Dumbledore in the first place. He’d hate that it would cast him from the side he’d chosen after Lily’s death. So that might count.

    I think the creator of the Inferi was Herpo the Foul and Anciant Greek Wizard who invented the Horcrux. Rowlings idea of the Inferi comes from Haiti lore. That lore came from Africa... since Greeks went into Egypt (another culture obsessed with death.)... out of the Dark Wizards we know he might be the closest to.
    The other possibility is an as yet unknown African or Native Caribbean or Central American witch or wizard... since Rowling based it on Haitian folk lore not European forklore.

      The first written account of the Undead walking on earth is Mesopotamian , so it’s safe to say , it is probably one of the most ancient monster figures ever (which makes sense considering death truly is human’s biggest fear since forever !). The figure of the Undead sure probably predate the Mesopotamian settlements and writing, meaning their place of origin is most likely Africa , which again makes sense considering the numerous African oral and written myths and spiritual beliefs that features some kind of zombie like figure in it ! ( and of course the fact everything human originates in Africa anyway !)

    Thinking about inferi can make me imagine the feeling of being grabbed by one. Gross feeling. 😬Good for the story, though.

    Quick question: who do you think would win in a fight, Percy Jackson or Harry Potter? I’d love to debate if you think Harry!

      No way Harry wins. Percy Jackson at the end of Heroes of Olympus is practically a god.

    Mmm.. I don't think Voldi has created them neither Ekrisdis.
    In case Ekrisdis created them, he would have used them to kill innocents. That would have drawn attention of the ministry to the strange happening of people missing.
    Otherwise if Voldi created them, why hasn't he used them for the great Battle of Hogwarts? I mean that would have been such a great army for him to use (if he'd be able to control them).
